Edit:

Oops, just saw the current turn.  Apparently Hinnom sent their armies out to meet me on the field and I had left.  Well, that's a mistake I intend to correct.  Let's see what happens.  Epic fight might happen any moment now.

Okay, one thing to say here.  Hanan'el be a tough little cookie.  Wow.

Yep, that's my boy. You have your hairy, squeaking demons, I got this guy. I sincerely hope you will get to meet his father Azazel, he is even more charming fella.

Luckily, his cousin Malthus does not have a shield

Happy to oblige

With all due respect, I think we probably shouldn't be posting stats like this. I'm not really much of a role-player -- at least where this particular game is concerned -- but posting stats sort of removes a lot of the magic under the hood for me, if that makes sense. I'd rather read his stats when/if I enter battle with him. More challenging, realistic and fair that way.

I dunno, if no one else has a problem with it, go for it I guess.

Thoughts?

I guess I could post it as a link, rather than link the image directly.  That way, those who aren't playing the game or have been knocked out can see, and if you'd rather be surprised, you could choose not to click (I could post a warning).  

Wouldn't be making common use of it anyways, it's just that the bugger practically soloed my army (to be fair, he had a lot of meat shields with him), and I guess the posting was also a veiled: "OMG, look at this guy.  He's going to eat me!" kind of thing.

All he needs now is a ring of regeneration, and, well, off to the drawing board.

Regarding Magic Duel, no astral mages on my side unfortunately.  

Not just the boots though.  I don't imagine Hanan'el is going to be removed from the Hall of Fame anytime soon, and his ability is to get more and more reinvigoration.

I'll try to keep descriptions in a more role playing fashion by describing the items held by the enemy (or at least their appearance) and results from the effects. 

So in that spirit:

The Bane of Lanka was truly a beast to behold.  Every strike our brave demons made would be artfully dodged by that surprisingly nimble giant.  Even hits that would look certain to land would some how, if almost by some supernatural degree of luck, miss.  He wore armor as dark as night, which looked very difficult to penetrate.  And despite all this, he never tired, always maintaining a constant state of vigor.  He radiated an aura of fear that truly tested the hearts of our warriors, and in the end they could be tested no longer and upon seeing the fruitlessness of their attacks, and the piles of their fallen warriors, broke off to flee.

Truly is this an entity to be feared.

This thread is full of awesome.

The remnants of the Lankan army sent south have been completely annihilated.  The Bane of Lanka and his posse (Malthus shown above, two Melquarts, his prophet Eren,  and a Kohen) have launched a counter attack on the Lankan staging grounds of the Dead Marshes.  The Lankan invasion of Hinnom has been thwarted.

Things are so much more spicy in the western part of the world.

Over in the East Marverni and I are bludgeoning each other.  Or rather, failing to bludgeon each other.  He has an army of elephants that has been opportunistically taking provinces reinforced only with province defense, while my pretender and prophet have been doing the same in the other direction.  Neither is willing to take the plunge into headlong warfare with the other, it seems.  Or we just keep missing each other...

Eventually one or the other of us will punch through, pushing the battle back to one of our two capitals.  But that's looking like it could be many seasons from now. 

Heh, that's entirely possible.  Though Abysia is confident that Arcoscephale means us no ill for the time being.  We suspect that, despite our involvement in another war, the Son of Themistocles knows that defeating us would be costly indeed.  Moreover, an attack would force us to reposition some of our demonic assassins, an eventuality no nation should desire.

Well if you were expecting those reinforcement from your capital, don't bother I appear to have stepped on them .
