    Whoops. For some reason I thought those were razorwings.

    another orb, for 1dmg

    You guys shouldn't let me draw cards for neutrals. :P

    Catching sight of the winded razorwings, the elven squad is beset upon by beastmen, who tear apart the first warrior and wound the second. Reacting quickly, the sorceresses spin webs of power, driving off the weres, sending them running for safety.
    The warrior then quietly stalks the razorwings to their new lair and dispatches them.
    First warrior dies, the second takes one damage.
    Sorceresses draw: orb, orb
    The warrior draws: 1 damage
    Latari victory (three standing to none); Uthuk to retreat the two beastmen; I think they could go to different locations, since it was an orb effect rather than a normal retreat. If you wanted them to.

    Unless Zellpher wants to move his runes the undying will build a fortress in starfall forest (6b) and end my turn.

    As the winter snows recede in starfall forest 3 reanimate emerge, soggy but otherwise unharmed by their long entombment in ice. Meanwhile a necromancer and his skeletal archer pet emerge from the ancient tombs at waiqar's main fortress (WA).

    No dark knight :(

    Your 8th bowman went out and you were one short for the recruitment. Let me know if you want to destroy one of the ones on the board before the recruit.

    With rumors of huge armies amassing outside the city, an archer ventures into Mountainville while the garrison retreats to Forestopolis. A sorceress slips out of Himring to join the others in Forestopolis, while one of the archers from Himring ventures into the blasted plains.
    Archer from 7B to 6C
    2 warriors and sorceress from 6C to 7B
    Sorceress from Fool's Rapids to 7B
    Archer from Fool's Rapids to 1C

    Draw no tactics cards from the supremacy. :(

    A messenger arrives at the mountains of despair with a carefully worded message written on human skin.

    "Let us work together to crush the forces of light, these pathetic humans and the cowardly elves, then after we are victorious lets rip each other apart like the vicious dogs we know we are."
    Favorable Alliance - Play during your turn. Choose an opponent. He receives 1 to 4 influence of your choice. You then receive 1 to 4 influence of his choice.

    targeting admanb and giving 4 influence

    I just need to know how much influence your going to return the favor with. :)

    Well, being in your good graces would certainly be a good thing at this point, and the influence offers no immediate threat to me, so...

    4 influence in return.

    Alright, my thanks admanb.

    Well great 3 dragons.

    The Sorcerers turn out to be members of the wizards council and attack!

    Okay then I am going to stay and fight    , Zellpher to draw one for the sorcerers first. I will draw one as well for the first round skeletal archer.

    Sorry Mordenthral best laid plans of mice and men. Wait who draws first?

    Okay figured it out just reread the rules.

    The first archer misses and the second archer is held fast by powerful wards also doing nothing.

    Sorcerers are up now.

    The first of the sorcerers adds vitality to his allies. The second uses magic missile which deals one damage. The third also casts magic missile for a damage.
    Orb, 1 damage, 1 damage.

    Alright I am going to apply 1 damage to a reanimate and 1 damage to a skeleton archer (they were useless anyway :) ).

    The necromancers then go about summoning (orb) four more (orb) reanimates.

    Two of the reanimates stumble around, bumping into walls. The other two attack one of the sorcerers, killing him.

    The remaining two sorcerers flee, never to be seen again.
    2 damage, 1 sorcerer dies
    7 strength waiqar / 2 strength neutral, sorcerers try to flee and cant so are destroyed

    Activating supremacy ability and moving to Howling Hills at 4A. Moving 3 reanimates at 3B and dark knight at WA.

    And that's all for my turn.

    Whoops. Fleshrippers are rectangles, not triangles. So that was actually an orb. Fleshripper goes to three health.

    The fleshripper's demonic hide absorbs the arrows. The Uthuk hordes swarm the archer and chop him to bits.
    1 dmg, 1 dmg, 1 rout, nothing
