I'm rapidly starting to see him as my nightmarish wife. To set the terms myself and get the ground war I want I need Speedo to refuse one of my demands, but I can't get a word in edgeways because Speedo's ceaselessly demanding things from me, thereby tying up our diplomatic status. I absolutely can't let Speedo determine the terms of a vendetta between us, because he always picks single combat of champions and then puts forward this brick shithouse. The problem here is that Speedo owns a properly ludicrous praetor, a massive minotaur with a hitpoints stat that suggests he's not made of flesh but cast in iron. I want to place a thumb on his meagre legions and holdings, apply some pressure and smear them across the map, but I can't. It's time to take one.įUCKING SPEEDO DEMON. One thing which strikes me as probably honest is the Praetors situation. I can't even remember now what was truth and what was lies. KG: Gimme a few turns and I'll steal his praetors to equalise the armies a bit. Nothing I can do as long as I'm still the target for Looting the Vaults. He clearly thinks you're the biggest threat. Won't be in a position to do anything for a few turns. Scrof: Yep, but Sponge is pressing down on my north and I can't afford to lose the Temple of Lust. KG: Are we still working together then? I'm altering my diplomatic status to your little friend. While the actual deal appears to have been done in an exchange transcript, here's a snippet of the talk around the game at this point. I basically offer to help him out against Zah'hak by bringing my own powers to bear. Everyone's robbing him blind - I didn't realise at the time, but does serve him right for going for a Charisma build - and he's virtually tied down. I realise exactly how close to the edge he's been pushed, in terms of being openly furious. Between this turn and the last there's been desperate begging on my part not to go into war. But in Solium Infernum, the actual turn results aren't telling the full story. So it appears it wasn't a misreading of Scrof's character at all. If you've only been following what's been linked here, you won't have read either Sponge or Hentazu's 21-30 turn reports, so head over there and come back. It was the best of times it was the worst of times.īefore we delve into the open combat, here's a check-list of the diaries so far.
