Ashdod tried to retake his capitol with 3 Adons and 1 Talmai (his prophet). The Marshmasters of C'tis promptly invoked curses on all four of these conceited giants. They then summoned a few swarms of useless dragonflies and 9 Water Elementals, all the while raising the dead to fight on behalf of the March of the Marshes.
The cunning Talmai was anointed not just as a prophet; he dared to invoke the immortality of the phoenix. But the Marshmasters' curse took it's toll... as the conflict continued, this false prophet received grievous wound upon grievous wound. Before being laid to rest, this Talmai was reduced to a weakened, limping, tired, one-armed, cowardly mute. The same fate claimed one of his brother Adon.
The other two Adon ramained at the back preventing the hundreds of risen dead from surrounding and dragging them down. One lost an eye and will forever cringe from battle, and both are cursed, but they live to fight another day.
Many items were recovered and will be rushed back to the nearest lab.
Sadly, this victory was not without cost: 3 members of the council of Marshmasters and their two banelord servants have perished. Some 65 useless souls have fallen to later be recalled by their Marshmaster betters.
TwoBits & Squirrelloid: You guys are up. My chaff units have fled, the Banelords rest under the earth again and C'tis will retire from the field long enough to once again rally more Marshmasters.
