Vanheim cordially thanks Oceania for the despatch of its peace-keeping forces to East Vanheim (formerly Marverni). Unfortunately, some of these troops appear to have joined the rebels.

Vanheim sympathises with Oceania's inability to keep its bloodthirsty troops in check (what can one expect of fishmen and trolls?) and is pleased to confirm that the hundred-strong element of the Oceanian force that had been plundering the Marverni forests has now been despatched.

Permanently.

The timer got reset for Caelum, I take it?

Jup, had to reset the timer, got real busy. Sorry for that, I will take my turn in time. And cheers to Beefeater for joining the table talk here.

Oceania offers apologies to the noble nation of Vanheim for any trouble our investigators may have gotten themselves into. You see, they were celebrating a milestone achievement in their research. In their revelry they over-imbibed on the potent spirits of the woods of Marverni, and got themselves into a bit of a kerfuffle.

Just what was their amazing discovery? Well, it seems they have determined that the Marverni woods are haunted by the spirits of many druids that were slain long ago by a Vanheim ruled by a cruel and ruthless tyrant. The manifestations of these spirits appear to be behind the recent vanishings.

Do not fear, Vanheim! Oceania will not abandon our quest to determine exactly who ultimate fault lies with, in the disappearance of our Sea Troll brethren. Our new crack team of researchers will continue to pursue our official investigations with renewed vigor.

I'll be on holiday for about three weeks, from this Friday (December 14) to around January 6 or 7. A pause would be great -- hopefully I won't be the only one away during that time!

[vfb]

A pause sounds good to me.

[lch]

I'll turn off the game timer right now, then, although everybody is encouraged to play his turns as it it were on.

[Randvek]

Is my memory playing tricks on me, or did you just lose two globals, Ich?

[lch]

Oh, yes. And over a dozen remote spells on my unprotected capitals. Seems like Arco (or whoever else, but I got only attacked from Arco so far) has way too many gems to burn.
