VICTORY

[Ehndras]

Add another, lets say 5-15k for southern blight resurgence and we've got ourselves an absolute cluster!@#$ in Riombara. <_<

[Sypher]

For doing so well down south, you won the prize of another blight daimon plus Tom threw in 2 portal guardians for free.  :P

[Ehndras]

So well. >_> We've been fighting for our lives.

I've never seen such tight-knit, well-ordered combat movements as I'm seeing in Rio atm. This is some GOOD stuff. The awesome leadership and participating nobles are what's making Rio do 'so well', not luck or any such things. These folks are really giving it their all, even though everything is falling apart around them. I'm definitely enjoying all the RPing and the fighting itself as well. :-)

Thalmarkin doesn't have any daimon around :o. They are afraid of the very people who have slain their master ;)

[Tan dSerrai]

Regarding Thalmarkin not having any daimons around: I assume that there is more than one of each portal guards. And as it is likely that next to southern and eastern portal guards there are northern portal guard(s) as well -  I think it very likely that there ARE daimons close to Thalmarkin.

What I really want to know is a) will the guards attack (as the Blight Creatures are doing) or will they stay on station and /guard/ something. And if the latter, b) what would we gain by defeating one? Something along the lines of preventing the portals from closing or preventing bligthed areas being drawn to the daimon lands? And if this is the case, do we need to defeat a guard in the next 3-4 days? If yes (and if 30.000+ strength is their true strength and that they are similar in combat to the other daimons) I can near guarantee that Riombara will not be able to defeat a guardian during the next 4 days. Or is it not necessary to defeat them and all we need os to slip (only) a noble or a noble with a unit past them to simply /reach/ a portal? Questions, questions.

Knowledge so far:
eastern portal Guard has been sighted last halfday, has been stationary in Melegra, comitting genocide this morning (around 500 peasants lost)
southern Portal Guard has been sighted this halfday - presumably having been stationary since yesterday as well.

both Guards command 30.000+ scouted strength. True strength unknown. Capabilities unknown.

does that mean you get 4 of them?

[Sypher]

Having one Portal guards for each of the cardinal points would fit the pattern of this invasion. I assume they have appeared to do the ritual that takes the remaining blighted regions into the netherworld. If the deadline is to be believed, then we have what 3 or 4 days?

You just haven't scouted it yet...

the western blight daimon was spotted moving to Weghie

Fact and speculation aside, I think it's just plain funny that none of the blight daimons attacked Enweil despite Overlord having been so determined to destroy them earlier on.  I guess they just had bigger fish to fry. 

Now I'm curious as to whether or not portal guards will go on an offensive,  and whether or not daimons in unblighted lands go or stay with the ritual.

I'm pretty sure it has more to do with the fact that Enweil didn't actually border the southern blight anywhere, at least not after Darkest Hour was killed.

[Tan dSerrai]

Ok...the Portal Guards /do/ go on offensive. The eastern has moved from Melegra to Ajitmon - and the southern from Bolkenia to Irombro, ironically meeting Sassan and capturing him. Prison. Yay.

[Gustav Kuriga]

You used ironically wrong, you be thrown in jail!

[Ehndras]

Oh. Sh*t.

Without Sassan's orders, Riombara is screwed.

I do believe, good sirs, the sh*t has just hit the fan.

Everyone is already running around like chickens without a head, bahaha. Coldchest isn't making it any easier. :-P

At least one of the Marshals is reiterating your last orders to preserve some semblance of order.

[Telrunya]

Yeah, and I'm not sure Marche has been making friends today :P
