17 September-GOLEM joins the Grasp army[edit]
With my attack plans, i have estimated how many people i will need on my side. My numbers are looking small, so i have decided to invest in Golems. This Zinn fella gave me him for just 50 platinum bars, which i think is money well spent. This Golem is slightly hard to control, but he has amazing attack power which will help my invasion.
I have tested this GOLEM by doing a task for Zinn-Removing powerful GOLEM's that could threaten the world. They where rather easy tasks and they got me more followers, so I am happy.
18 September-Sorrows Furnace[edit]
The Grasp King has realised that his long distance firepower is weak. Therefore, the Grasp King is leading an expedition into Sorrows furnace, a place known for searing hot rocks. The Grasp King plans to mine these (the rock solid grasps are immune to the heat) and use them in catapults as extreme firepower!
19 September-Preparations[edit]
Today has brought much success.
- Heat tests on Grasps and other army minions-Success
- Moving of troops from Droknars Forge Harbour-Success
- Arming troops for invasion-Success
- Converting local Stone summit-Success
- Gaining allies from Deldrimor-Success
Im also hoping that this extreme heat will hatch this moa in thei Incubator Kit. After getting some food, nesting material and preparing its egg, i really do hope this moa packs a punch. All this work had better deliever some powerful force for the army.
20 September-Stone Summit[edit]
Expeditions were haulted today. After the Stone Summit found out that all their troops at Sorrow's Furnace were removed, they have sent their forces in the masses to kill us. This has hailted our expeditions, but their attacks are failing, probably because of the firey bow in the Deldrimor camp. These Stone summit are good fighters, and General Grathp is sure they will make great Grasps.
Deldrimor dwarves have been telling my human grasps some stories they have of Sorrows Furnace. They tell of an Iron forgeman that brings with him flames that will cause instant death. This may be the siege weapon we have been searching for. If we can capture this forgeman, we will be able to conquer towns easily. I have sent Grathp on an expedition to find this forgeman and contain him until i get there.
As for the siege weapons we had planned, im sure we will get Volcanic rocks from the Ring of fire. Maybe we can get a few Titans there too.
21 September-Here be Pirates![edit]
I had sent an extra boatful of grasps via Lions Arch, so i went to go and collect them. When i reached Lions Arch, i found thousands of people there had all turned into pirates. So i joined in with this pirate fun. I managed to get a party somewhere as a distraction to get my grasps out of there. Ive sent them ahead, and kept some behind to go with the Fury to Ring of Fire. This should be an easy mission compared to all its failures in Shing Jea.
As for me, im staying here to rally some pirates grasps.
22 September-Wheres me grog gone?[edit]
Well, today has been a rocky day for the army. We had some success with General Fury, who got some Titans and those volcanic rocks. As for me, things have been far worse.
Basically, with the Stone Summit generals realising I'd gone, they sent warband to kill me and any grasps landing in Lions Arch. However, they made a plan where they stole my crates of grog (for the party). This would lead me back, where they were going to kill me. Their plan failed, but i had no grog for 5 hours. Im currently getting it back. To keep the people in Lions Arch happy i sent a grasp general to keep those people happy, but now ive found out im expelled from Lions Arch. I swear to Grenth i will make these Stone Summit pay.
Entry 2[edit]
I raided the Stone summit encampment, and found that they had drunk most of my grog! I managed to get 4 pints of grog back. Now my and Kilroy Stonekin both have a grudge against Stone summit because they owe us something. They owe him money, an me grog. All this pain in my head from withdrawal of heavy drinking is killing me. A grasp can stand some things, such as heat, but not alcokol starvation for a day. When will it end!
September 23rd-Preperations again![edit]
After a rough jorney to Deldrimor war camp, the outside of Sorrows furnace is packed full of Stone summit. So we've retreated to Deldrimor war camp to plan our invasion. Here is what we did:
- We made several other siege bows and catapults outside of the camp, which have proven themselves good against the stone summit. The catapults, loaded with special siege rocks (supplied b the Fury) can kill 50 Summit troopers in one hit.
- We have troop release points in tactical areas. These are small portals with spawn my grasps.
- We have released other troops that have joined the army.
- We have requested back up Dwarves from the Deldrimor King Jalis Ironhammer, a friend of mine.
These measures have removed a significant amount of troops. We have managed to get Kilroy inside for his mission, which will happen shortly.
Entry 2[edit]
Success again. Galen fooled Krak with some of my grasps as slaves. He's to busy locked up in there to see the battle outside. So we have a map of the inside of Sorrow's furnace from that mission, an a load of dead Summit troops in Sorrows furnace. However, i cannot thank my ice golem bodyguards enough for their help. Without them, this mission wouldnt have gone well.
September 24th-Invasions[edit]
The meeting with Jalis went well. He has offered us as many troops as possible due to the fact that the Stone summit are having their last stand here. This has greatly helped our invasion. However, progress on the furnace was slow due to the last Stone summit fighting for their lives.
September 25th-Problems[edit]
Not much success today. The tome of Rubicon is my main concern, because of its destructive abilities. I have planned the invasion-we use Balthazite to ruin the temple. Its not going well. They have it under extreme guard in the Furnace, which makes it a problem. Also, Orozar's plans arent going well. He has "bribed" the guards, but i dont think the Summit are gonna take money for a deal. We dont really have any troops to spare for him. The expidition for High Priest Alkar will go underway sometime in the next few days, im sure. Then we will focus on Orozar.
We have an update on the Forgeman. Apperently, (according to a new dwarf) he is controlled by three Rage Binders. They possess a magic, and if they are all killed quickly, the magic bindings will break. Ive managed to import a ritualist so we can bind the Forgeman using the structure of the current bindings. My ritualist says all we need to do is kill the binders, and he will use a ritual to re apply the bindings, but under my control. Sounds crazy, but if it works, he is getting payed well. Not sure how yet, maybe a grasp general...
September 26th-An alliance[edit]
Because of my "valiant" efforts in Grenths Footprint, King Jalis forced me to sign an alliance treaty! I thought it was soemthing like my death warrant, but now i have a palace in the Southern Shiverpeaks, a town named after me, and im considered as royalty. This is amazing, because now I dont need to conquer the Shiverpeaks.
They recommended i see the Asura. I need so GOLEMs, so i excepted. Ive left all my grasps behind to sort out Sorrows Furnace while i get help from the Asura. I heard they had a problem with Raptors, but im sure ill be able to deal with them.
September 27th-Raptor slaying[edit]
Meh, these Asura struggle with these raptors? They die quickly. Im getting a lot of money for it, and the Asura are loving me for it. Can things get much better? I mean, i think i heard an Asura say i was cool! I hope they make me some more Sinister GOLEMs now. The army might need them!
September 28th-Raptors[edit]
I swear these raptors are getting darn right annoying. I kill all of them in the cave, then a load of the eggs hatch and i have to all the work again! And whenever i get into the town, they all come back! When will this end..
September 29th-Portallica 400![edit]
Ahh, my new Portallica has arrived! Of course, i need a new license for this one, due to the fact that its a new vehicle. I have the provisinal one, now just the 2 other tests.
September 30th-Full license![edit]
Ive passed the theory and practical tests! I can now carry aditional passengers at the same time (my grasps!). This new one is a lot better-a lot faster and more effecient. I got a picture of it below:
Also, i hear some members of royalty, known as:
- Daniel Frozenwind, King of snowmen
- Mad Queen Malafide
are hosting a party near Halloween! I am looking forward to it, escpecially because my good friend Thorn comes around this time of year. Im looking forward to our cups of blood. I hope i can help him wreak havoc on the land with my grasps!
