Your work on insectomancy reaches new heights! Working off of what you know already about Insectomancy, you finally are able to master the art of manipulating insects. Bork Baya himself can command a whole swarm of insects! Other necromancers can command large groups of insects, that can be very very annoying, and dangerous once they start crawling into a person's body.

The nation of Stagmun gladly accepts the Djinn, however they do not grant you a large block, rather a small block. However, this still gives you enough to create your Lume device, and indeed it seems to be incredibly effective against dark foes (Specifically undead), and can sear a fleshy target's skin very badly!

The forges of Koropolis work day and night to complete Edgewing. It takes a full year of hard work, but the metal plates are fully attached. On top of that, a platform is placed, with thin metal walls placed to provide some sort of cover from ranged fire. However, this leaves us with the question of what we shall put on Edgewing!

And with that, Bork Baya is made Supreme Senator! Long May he reign! With the help of the Aezak clan, and with his poignant stances on the issues of the Republic, many vote him to be our Supreme Senator for the next 20 years, even though he looks very abnormal for a dwarf.

In International news, it appears that the Anti-Cultist coalition of Dwarven Bandits has prevailed over the Cultist Bandits, good news for us! They were led by Bork Baya, who with his brilliant tactical cunning led the smaller bandit clans to victory over the larger ones. With him he brought news of a dark city, and dark nation. It appears to be northeast of the Bandit Clans. The city of Rogolash.

We begin to prepare our Population for a large war. The first legion of the serene valley begins to train intensively. Our people's training also begins to grow more intensive, and lately, training has happened twice a week rather than once a week, causing our people to spend the full weekend to train, train, and train. Our troll vassals are also being readied for a large war, with them being trained heavily as well. Stockpiles of food are created, and our smiths work tirelessly day and night to create plenty of armor and weapons for everyone, including the trolls. The Serene Valley has prepared for war.

So it begins.

We send messengers to every nation that we know of to launch an Invasion.

Here are the numbers that they contribute.
Tokrab offers us 1,500 Dwarves, and their king shall lead this force.
The Dragonforge offers us 3,000 Dwarves and a Titan (One with military expertise) to supplement our titan. In addition, the worlshaper declares this a holy crusade.
The Bandit Clans (now called The United Dominion) offer us 1,500 Dwarves to deploy against the enemy, and have already engaged in combat to keep them contained.
Lakoranda offers us 1,500 Humans to aid us.
The Fedrani offers us a multiracial army of 1,750 soldiers.
Rothan offers us 1,000 Troops, stating it is the most they can offer.
Stagmun shall give us a token force of 500 men.

In total, that is 10,750 soldiers and a titan from other nations.

As for us, we can recruit up to 5787 dwarves, 688 Gnomes, 91 Elves.

From the trolls within our nation, we can recruit up to 8,530 trolls.

How many shall we recruit within our nation?

We marshal 12,110 of our forces!

In total, this brings the combined forces of us and our allies to 22,860 soldiers.

The entire host of our armies are assembled in the Red circle, they are mostly in separate camps. The Fort to the east between the mountains (Grey interior with black exterior) has been occupied with a force of 2,000 cultists. In addition to this, the cultist forces are estimated to be approximately 10,000 with support from trolls in the west, who have contributed to them another 10,000. How shall we proceed?

The trolls move forward, and in their savage charge, they have been astonishingly repelled by the defenders! The defenders had used a combination of Ifrits, Shield wall tactics, and the fortifications they had left to form a sort of wall to keep the trolls at bay, needless to say this cost the lives of many trolls, about 500. However, we continue to whittle down the enemy troops.

The last of the Garrison is slaughtered by the trolls. Goaded on by Bork Baya these trolls are driven into a frenzy, apparently their hate for their enemy is greater than we had imagined. The enemy pulls every trick they can, shield wall... Smashed. Ifrits? Killed. In the end they attempt a last stand, however the trolls just slaughter them all mercilessly. They can go meet their dark god.

In total, this fort cost us the lives of 750 trolls, however many of the higher ups view this as good... As culling the troll population.

However, this begs the question, what shall we do now? Use this map for reference: >>2699842

As you approach the town by the lake, you find it entirely abandoned! Even the villages, hamlets and farms by the lake are abandoned. It appears that these cultists had left in a hurry, potentially to go north, towards Rogolash. With a source of water secured, what shall we do now?

As we march northward to the Northern fort, it is garrisoned by approximately 5,000 cultists, and their intention is to delay your advance as long as possible.

In addition, word from the east is heard. It appears that the Lord of the Eternal Flame himself is commanding a force of 7,000 drakes intent on destroying the cultists! Interestingly, it is much needed aid, for now they are tied up fighting the eastern city, which appears to be a bastion against the drakes.

However, we are now faced with the fort. How do we approach this?

As we continue to pummel the fortifications through the night, it appears these walls are quite resilient. While they crumble in a few locations, these walls are resistant to titan magics, it appears that they have been consecrated, and some piece of Wydroganet's power emanated from them, protecting them from titan magics. Although our FYTs are decently effective, they make a large breach in the section of wall facing our forces. We have a few options as the morning comes.

The trolls move forward, it the most organized manner they can, with shields raised and prepared to deflect any projectiles that come their way. Our own ranged units open fire once they enter into firing range. The Battle begins.

Bork Baya himself leads the charge! Our supreme senator goads on the trolls to charge forward with him. He is a monster of a dwarf, with muscles that make him stronger than most trolls, and seven feet in height. However, equipped with strong armor and his knowledge in the way of the mountain fist, he leads the charge to break through the enemy lines. The Trolls are right behind him, furthering the breakthrough. However, the cultists are putting up a stiff fight. What shall we do now that we have engaged in melee combat?

As we deploy Edgewing, alongside Bork Baya he is truly a fearsome fighting force! With a squad of T-bowmen on top of him, an FYT, and a fearsome bite he aids Bork Baya in breaking the lines for him. Now the trolls start to spill into the courtyard as the enemy's line starts to fall apart. Our trolls are able to use their superior strength now.

As we totally break apart the enemy's lines, they are forced into the courtyard. We've separated the enemy's forces in fact! Half of them are still on the walls, trying to fire down at us and kill some trolls. Then there are the forces in the courtyard trying to desperately fend us off. Our trolls are prevailing in both areas, using their brute strength to crush the enemy. Those assigned to the walls charge up them and wreak havoc on the archers and mages on top of the walls, whereas in the courtyard, a savage melee has broken out between the trolls and the cultists. Bork Baya is in the middle of it all, breaking cultists apart with the way of the mountain fist!

The cultists are now being slaughtered in large numbers. Muratir himself charges into the fray riding his war goat, trampling over many cultists, and breaking them apart with his hammer. By the end of the day, the fort has been taken by our troops. The superior strength and willpower of our trolls has prevailed. While we killed 5,000 cultists, we have lost 3,500 troops in return. With 2,500 of them being trolls, those were lost in the initial waves of the assault. Of the other 1000, about 250 were of the Serene Valley.

As of right now, our forces number 18,610 soldiers. And our troll forces number at approximately 5,280 of those are trolls.

As you head westwards, you find yourself at a crossroads, and not wanting to be flanked you head northwards towards a troll hole inside a volcano.

As we head further westward, we find the western city likewise to be abandoned! It appears that the cultists have pulled everyone back to Rogolash to defend the city until Wydroganet can be summoned into this world. We do let our trolls run rampant on what remains of the city. They appear to be content with acquiring shiny objects that the civilians left behind when they fled this city. This does raise the morale of the trolls, and they don't seem to be so sad about their comrades falling in battle.

However, this does mean that we are left with the question, what shall we do?

It takes about two days of marching to reach the capital of Rogolash. There is only one way in and out of the city, through the main gate. Any other way would mean going through a river of thick blood. This is reminiscent of when we fought the first war against Wydroganet. There is so much blood in this area, it is entirely possible that they have sacrificed dragons, those have plenty of blood. That or thousands of people. Roc riders give us an accurate indication of what they have in terms of defenses.

There is approximately 13,000 soldiers inside this city, and civilians could also be potentially forced to fight as well. Should we make it past the river of blood, two sets of walls stand between us and the main temple of Wydroganet. On these walls there's plenty of towers, where Catapults and Ballistas have been mounted, alongside archers. In addition, there appears to be a magical storm of sorts... Our magicians can sense it, lightning, made of pure magical energy seems to shoot from this magical storm which swirls just above the highest spire of the main temple, where Wydroganet is certainly being summoned. One thing is certain. We cannot fail in our mission.

Oh and send a roc scout to make sure nothing got out of that troll hole.

As a bridge is constructed, we cross the blood river using such a bridge. Afterwards, we quickly get to work building large earthen bunkers to protect us from catapult and ballista fire, with the aid of the titans they are capable of repelling this catapult and ballista fire. Our FYTs move into position. However, these walls prove resistant to titan magics, they too have been enchanted by Wydroganet's power, meaning they are resistant. However, the FYTs open fire!

The undead and trolls are sent in as the first wave. T-Bows are prepared to give as much support as possible to our units. The titans move into position to protect our attacks from the enemy titan and enemy dragons, which seem to be flying in to attack our undead and trolls. The enemy has clearly concentrated their troops in this breached section of walls, and likewise prepare to fire off their ranged attacks.

With Edgewing being deployed, the DC is lowered to 35, making this into a critical success.

Edgewing, our strongest war machine is sent straight into battle. A fearsome weapon of war, well armored with T-bowmen and FYTs atop him. This aids in our push upon the breach. The trolls, the undead, and edgewing are putting significant pressure upon the tortoise formation that the cultists have set up. It appears that the enemy is also using trolls, however they are not front-line infantry. However, we must focus on breaking through! Just a little bit more...

Our offensive starts to stall now, while our T-bows are effective at picking off cultists on the walls, the trolls and undead are faltering, the undead are being hacked apart faster than they are being raised, and the trolls, while effective are having their numbers whittled down. The only constant here is Edgewing, who acts as a potent weapon platform who continues to wreak havoc.

"Well as a mage of light, I'm somewhat 'illustrious' I suppose, har. Throw it to the trolls, they may be hungry."

However, the cultists have grown cocky. They start to break formation a little, and our forces exploit that to the fullest extent. The trolls start heavily pushing on the enemy front line, and the undead fill up any gaps that the trolls miss. We're on the edge of breaking into the city now, and from there we can push to the second set of walls. So far, approximately 1,000 trolls have fallen, and 1,000 cultists have fallen as well.

Our offensive starts to grow bloody... We manage to break through their shield wall at the cost of many troll lives, we're slowly but surely starting to trickle into the city, sliding through the gaps that the cultists leave. However even in the city, it is a hostile environment to us, where even civilians throw rocks, spears, and sharp things such as knives in an attempt to stop us... For now they are easily slain. However, as we have made it into the city, how shall we proceed?

On the Supreme Senator's orders (Supreme senator is the tiebreaker), we shall start to now clear out the city slowly but surely. It appears that the most reckless approach is not the best one, so we shall ensure that the outer sections of the city are secure for when we proceed into the inner city.

As our trolls and undead start to clear out the city, our dwarves start to flow in as well, to ensure what was taken by our troops cannot be lost. Savage street to street combat ensues, but this is where our trolls excel! Using their superior strength and stature, we are able to secure about a quarter of the city at the cost of many lives. In addition, our own troops start to press towards the second set of walls to drive a wedge between the cultist forces.

Critical Success

Newboy leads the troops through the left wing of the city! Followed by all sorts of troops, undead, trolls, dwarves, humans, and even some drakes from Fedran they start to clear the left wing. The enemy starts to bring forth all sorts of elite forces, but are proving to be poor at stopping our great advance. In specific, there appear to be mounted champions of Wydroganet riding around the city, trying to stop our advance, but by the end of the day, we have secured the entire southern portion of the city. However, a puzzling event is occurring just outside the city... The river of blood appears to be slowly growing smaller and shallower. As if it is being drained. Regardless of that, what will we do with night having fallen?

Our plan overall succeeds, and the FYTs are fully in position, and started their bombardment of the temple which does significant damage to it. They also widen the breach leading into the inner city for when we have to take it.

However, over the course of the night, we investigate the blood river, and receive news from back home.

Searching the blood river, it appears that several major drains have been opened, and all of them seem to lead into an underground area, possibly under the temple. Efforts are underway to block these drains, and 1 drain has been blocked so far.

As for news from back home, the cultists have started a Guerilla war within Fedran, Lakoranda, and the Serene Valley. For now our boys back home are able to contain their aggression, and the Serene Valley is the nation hit the least by these cultists, due to us having purged a large amount of them, but they are a blight within Lakoranda and Fedran.

As dawn breaks, our men wake up, ready for another bloody day. It appears the storm over the temple has grown, and gotten worse, with more lightning bolts. What shall we do?

So it begins. The final attack on the temple. Wydroganet cannot be allowed to come into this world! The FYTs have softened up the temple, and opened a large breach in the walls. Our trolls are the first ones into the breach.

With his fearsome battlecry, goading every single man in our army forward, he is the first through the breach, and along with the trolls he simply shatters the enemy line.

They range from powerful Ifrits, to heavily armored trolls, to humans that look like Berserkers. They are heavily armed, and heavily armored.

At last we take the temple, at a heavy price, many have died to secure this city, but as the storm rages even harder, we finally secure the temple, having cleared out the last of the resistance within this temple, the battle still rages within the other parts of the city. There is an issue however. The location of where Wydroganet is being summoned is not in the temple! However, we have uncovered the entrance into an inner sanctum of sorts. A terrifying visage is seeing just inside, perhaps a priest of sorts? We are not sure, however the chanting grows increasingly louder, far louder. Perhaps these are the last incantations of the ritual to summon Wydroganet? We do not know. However, many dwarves, and even trolls start to sulk... Are we really too late?

Some among us reject this notion. The Inner Sanctum shall be a terrifying trial beyond any doubt. The vast majority of our troops refuse to go in.

Step forward brave champions, and give it all you can.

The passages underground are long and winding, however they do not fork, it is only a singular path heading deeper and deeper underground.
