On day 111, we scouted the Griffin Conservatory and a convenient GO from Manticores. A prison gave Luna, and two more prisons helped me raise skeletons - immediately getting about 130. Clavius grabbed a Pandora's Box with 5k experience. The plan is simple - break the Conservatory and burn through the GO, so we play.
On day 112, I took the native secondary skill from the GO, check the Conservatory - it's level 3. Waiting for goblins to be delivered, building magic.
On day 113, scouted a stable and a Book of Air behind Efreeti in the common zone. There's an Urik. Clavius split to replenish mana, GM2 gave Blindness.
On day 114, GM3 gives Raise Dead, meaning the Conservatory will fall without losses. Slowly moving towards it. Luna meanwhile eats the Pandora's Box, which was supposed to give 5k experience as planned, but gives 60 skeleton warriors. Won't be burning anyone particularly now :).
On day 115, I take the Conservatory giving 3 Angels, and both hives via chain with the second Necromancer - giving 12 Wights. Total: I provide my ally with an army of 3 Angels, 12 Wights, 400+ skeleton warriors, and 9 Liches (there was an external dwelling, and another 3 were given by a Refugee Camp). Gretchin, who had been eating experience chests all this time and leveled up well, hits the GO, grabs a Pandora's Box with experience in the center, plus a couple more with Troglodytes. We don't risk staying in the desert - too few troops for Fire Bird, and no mana at all.
On day 116, the Green player occupies the central dungeon, picking up a Titan's Sword along the way; Gretchin is bought out there, breaks a minor Urik, and grabs a Helm +6 to all stats.
On day 117, Gretchin gets another Sword +5 to all stats and a Necklace +3 to all stats. Sits in the dungeon to replenish mana with all stats over 20.
On day 121, Clavius scouts the remaining dark corner of the treasure zone, but dies in the process. Nevertheless, the scouting helps spot a Dragon Utopia that absolutely cannot be given up. We run there through Shackles of War, and next to it - a Book of Earth! The Dragon Utopia also falls this turn, giving Armor +4+4, Gauntlets, and something else not very significant. Meanwhile, I discover two more Griffin Conservatories at my spawn, barely more than a day's travel off the road...
On day 122, Luna takes one of the Conservatories - a minimal one. Gretchin, via the Book of Fire and a prison, takes a Dragon Utopia, which gives junk. At this point we make a mistake and seriously expose ourselves.
On day 123, Shakti demonstrates logistical miracles, chases Gretchin out, but can't reach Dessa with artifacts and no mana. Grabs our Dragon Utopia, but aside from losses, likely achieves nothing. Sleeps there. We finish off the Conservatories, bring Angels up (+7 of them), and attack. In the final battle we have total superiority in army, stats, and magic, and the Shackles of War prevent escape.
Thank you all for the game!
