The Easterlings are temporarily thwarted and thrown back in disarray from the DS contract to take an Eo MT - but we’ll be back! If only we can work out how!
The peaceful Easterling town of Ursh Lanna yesterday became full of the stench of Orcs :eek: as a small army under Tonn Varthkur paid an unannounced visit. The local garrison naturally detained him for questioning.
Garison commander Urdash was heard to splutter indignantly :fork:“How DARE he disturb my meditations! Why, I was on the brink of discovering the full details of the Cloud Bow’s medicinal uses!”
When the news reached Sturlurtsa Khand, Ovatha II formally announced that, as Sauron’s lap-dog hadn’t had the courtesy to announce his visit, the Easterlings would take on no new Dark contracts until all debts are paid. An appropriate penalty will be a matter for more private negotiations.
A cynic at court was heard to mutter “he’ll probably settle for more research on those useless artefacts despite all the bluster”
Oh my. Tonn is almost as rude as a dwarf. But at least we pay our debts;)
… fortunately he doesn’t stink like a dwarf!
Have Fun!

Nor does he smell like the Girly Elves.

The Easterlings are somewhat mollified since Sauron’s lot promised a LAT on a rarely-collected artefact of unusual properties which our mages wish to experiment with.
We will be back in business (for the DS, at least) when we have the location (our mages are very excited about this), and when the RA account is up to date.
I think we’ll have to try this again one game Michael - excepting the 2 of us can work as a team - you be the mercenary, and I’ll be your collection agency… 
Sniff – don’t like playing with me anymore 
Y’a think Clint would let us all be Noots in the same game…?? That certainly holds special possibilities…
That one will take some collecting - it’s over the seas and far away. Very, very far away.
The Easterlings announce that the attack on the Corsairs is aborted (unless, that is, someone offers to pay me). We learn that they now officially fly the Free flag.
We’ll only act against the Powers on contract. But there’s no such protection from Neutrals. Indeed following Harad’s logic, the Corsairs’ total lack of communication with the Easterlings obliged me to take action!
Anyway, what else was my southern army to do, with the Free disgracefully delinquent in its payment?
So, Dark Servants, this is your chance! Normally I’d let the Free hire this army, as its last contract was Free. But they haven’t paid their debts, so can’t. Care to fund a mission? Nice and cheap, since I don’t need to recruit anything?
Easterlings,
Here you go again flapping your jowls. When are you going to learn that you are “NOT” in control here. You think that you can manipulate both sides to your advantage…not going to work.
Your have arrived at Buhr Ailgra with your cav force, but you will lose! Again I write my orders knowing that I get to slay a bunch of Easterling scum. :bash: Love it!!

???
Those RA’s were provided to you this turn! Is there some failure of communication technology?
- The Bad Man
Ji Indur marched stoicly along with his fellow conspiritors, following their little groups leader off to their next location. They moved silently flitting from shadow to shadow barely leaving a trace of their passage. A muffled groan is heard to come from the large sack slung over Ji’s shoulder. “Shut up Arfan or I will sink the slipper in again!” A whimper is heard from the sack then silence. “Thats better, now when we get to our next stop are you going to be a good boy?” A muffled “Yeth” then another small whimper. “That’s what I thought. Now when we next stop It will rub the lotion on its skin or it will get the boot again!” Louder whimpering is heard from the sack and some crying. “Ahh grow a moustache ya big girl! You knew this could happen if you sided with the Freeps. What you thought those girly little Elves would protect you?” Ji adjusts the load on his shoulder to make to ride more uncomfortable for his passenger. “Dont worry Arfy baby you will have plenty of company soon!” Ji picks up speed and is soon back within his happy little group.

You’ve made your integrity bed. Now lie in it (no pun intended…)

The Corsairs took you at your word. :stab: I guess it was worthless?
Corsairs
Thanks for coming to my little part of the world! Enjoy the party! It will be a hoot!
We’re sorry Shagrat won’t be there to help entertain. We’re not very sociable as we spread the party-poop across Mordor…

Dear Chicken of the Sea,
Yes you with the navy and the pirate tatoos that is afraid of the water. Yeah you!
The Easterlings are crack addicts. You ever talk or reason with a crack addict? 
He doesn’t know if he is even attacking you or not. Good luck figuring out who is attacking who. 
Wise Wife. What kind of a name is that??? Apologies to Anja if she’s the inspiration, but even my 4yr old daughter thought it worth the challenge… Oh, and this Wise Wife beat up my 4yr old daughter pretty good, Olivia has 19 health. Good for her, put “beat up a 4yr old girl” on her tombstone…
