Spike then leads his forces into the center of the city. Harley can feel Spike claim the city. Upgrading the city will cost 2000 shmuckers. Harley also notices that the city has a dungeon zone. Finally some portions of the cities former glory still exists. Two city zone upgrades and one building slot upgrades. These upgrades will have no effect on the cost of upgrading the city and will take up these slots. However there effects can be maintained at no cost.

The first city upgrade will effect scrying on the city, the second city zone upgrade has something to do with crypts in the dungeon zone. The building upgrade has to do with the number of traps still within the city.

[_Wiz_]

Harley converts Gems in to shmuckers until she has over 2,000 shmuckers. She then orders the upgrade of the newly claimed city to level 1.

Order Dee to inspect the Lich bodies and report on anything she discovers about them.

W117. What about the existing traps?

The existing traps seemed to have been obsorbed with the leveling of the city.

W118. The current hp of gates and walls is 0, do we know if they'll repair at turn start?

The city has no wall. Remeber Arkum at level 1 city didn't have walls.

Question: can Dee over charge the level 0 tower?

A note from Dee

I have looked over the remains of the Lichs. They seem to be some kind of caster uncroaked. I can't raise them. However, I would like to use some juice to explore them. I might be able to learn something. As for the tower. I have never overloaded a tower. I don't feel a connection to the tower however maybe with juice I could.

[_Wiz_]

Reading Dee’s note Harley writes back a reply.

’Next turn we will definitely put aside some of your juice to examine those bodies. If you could learn something from them it would definitely be worth it!

p.s congratulations on your victory. From what I could see it was a hard fought battle.

p.p.s please try the amulet of healing on one of the incapacitated hobby horses. I want to see if it is capable of healing a unit after a battle.’

Normally the same as a building slot, tower, walls, ect. When a city levels the city gains one bonus city upgrade. Walls, tower, dungeons ect.

W121. How do we remove city zone upgrades? Simply by willing it

Harley can simply will it if the city isnt under attack and harleybis in her throne room.

”Ash I would like to have Crud here make you some armour out of this rare lightweight Mythral metal...” Harley declares holding a piece of it up. ”If I we’re to do that would you be willing to wear it in battle for your protection?” Harley then asks.

If Ash agrees Harley then turns to crud. ”Please start work on a set of Mythral armour (or barding) for Ash.” Harley then orders. ”Since your using mythral do you think you will be able to finish it this turn?” Harley then asks.

[WurmD]

+1)))))))))))

[Cyphermancer]

Spike and the rest of his group return to the capital

The infantry grab thier materials ( which corner is the archery tower being built in?)


Ash looks at the metal. Then down at his body before nodding to Harley.



Crud

Looking at the metal the twoll shakes his head while loock at ash.

No too twrns to make.

[_Wiz_]

The archery tower is to be built in the south west corner so that it protects the the west gate and wall and the southern wall.

”Two turns is acceptable. Please start on the armour right away Crud” Harley replies with a slight smile.

Harley then turns her attention towards reclaiming her lost mobility by taming some more mounts. She first sends Spike out on a Pondsea to gather some wild rations for taming.

[Cyphermancer]

Spike heads out of his foraging run. The grass lands yield very little only finding a single wild rations. With the light forest hexes yielding another two

Shadow then rides out to the hobby horses

After a bit two more hobby horses join the side

[_Wiz_]

Sure +1.......

[Cyphermancer]

Harley picks a place just outside the gates of the city.

Worker A begins to dig a permanent tunnel slanting down at an angle. The ant carries small rocks and pulls dirt out of the hole seeming to spit on the walls as it goes. Not long after the ant start Harley feels its move drop by two. Looking at the tunnel. Its short while humaniod creatures could use the tunnel they would have to crawl. Looking at the distance covered Harley thinks it would take another ten move to finish the tunnel to the hex boundary at its current height or 22 to expand the tunnel to normal head height but still single file. What are your orders?

[WurmD]

Worker A to continue at same height Move 0/10
Worker B to continue until crossing over Move 6/10

And lets find out what is the effect of crawling when traveling

Unless
Inmate Knowledge: effects of crawling

[_Wiz_]

Sure+1..........

[Cyphermancer]

The worker antz continue their work Ant A using the rest of its move and ant B taking up work right afterward crossing over the hex only uses one move for the ant

Worker ant A 0/10 move
Worker ant B 5/10 move

Tunnel 00.00 complete
Tunnel -01.00 1/?? Complete


As crawling you have no knowledge of this how are you testing it?

[WurmD]

Uncroaked Crossbow Darf B (8 turns)
3[1d4/1]/2/8/6 Move 6/6 (F)
Specials: Archery, uncroaked

Harley mentally orders this unit to walk to capital, then crawl into tunnel until he crosses the hex boundary

[_Wiz_]

Sure sure +1
