===== Town timed events ===== {{TEheader}} {{TErow| 1 |loc={{purple}} {{town|Stronghold}} (22, 69, 0)|[[Titan's Thunder]]|Your shaman wakes you. "I've had a dream, my King! A dream of your death, killed by our enemy in yonder mountains."<p>You ask, "Is this a prophecy, or just a dream?"<p>"Yes, my King, a prophecy" says the shaman. "But it can be avoided. You must assemble a powerful artifact, the [[Titan's Thunder]]! With its power at your command, even the massive armies of our enemy can't stand against you."}} {{TErow| 2 |loc={{purple}} {{town|Stronghold}} (22, 69, 0)|[[Titan's Thunder]] assembly|A visit to a local witch proves useful. Not only does she cure the warts on your hand, but she also tells you how to assemble the [[Titan's Thunder]].<p>"Find four artifacts - the [[Titan's Gladius]], the [[Titan's Cuirass]], the [[Thunder Helmet]], and the [[Sentinel's Shield]]. With these, you will possess power beyond your dreams. Seek the [[Hut of the Magi]] and he'll point the way."}} {{TErow| 6 |loc={{purple}} {{town|Stronghold}} (22, 69, 0)|[[Wallpeaks]]|The months of combat have prepared you for the battles to come. Looming on the eastern horizon are the [[Wallpeaks]], a vast mountain range with your enemy guarding every pass. Not even [[Jarg]] had to battle his way through these mountains, so you're about to cut a path no other has tread.}} {{TErow| 10 |loc={{purple}} {{town|Stronghold}} (22, 69, 0)|Depression|You've taken to eating your meals alone in your tent, so you're a little annoyed when your advisor and friend, [[Hardac]], interrupts you.<p>"What's bothering you, my King? Is it the [[Barbarian]] woman?"<p>"Nothing," you say, although [[Hardac]] is right. You miss [[Yalla]] even though you had such a short time with her.<p>[[Hardac]] doesn't press the issue, but when he leaves you regret having lied to him. Not only that, but you feel very alone...again.}} {{TErow| 16 |loc={{purple}} {{town|Stronghold}} (22, 69, 0)|Past Failures|Nothing, not even your past victories over your enemies seems to give you satisfaction anymore. With each victory, you hear a dozen stories of armies who have failed to fight their way through the [[Wallpeaks]] and the torturous punishment these men received for their arrogance.}} {{TErow| 19 |loc={{purple}} {{town|Stronghold}} (22, 69, 0)|[[Wallpeaks]] Strategies|You have a long talk with the bards about the history of the [[Wallpeaks]], especially the military history of this region. What they have to say is not encouraging.<p>No one has been able to conquer these mountains. There are just too many Castles. But one tactic hasn't been tried. A true Horde - an army so massive that it would break the back of the world!<p>You must build that Horde.}} {{TErow| 20 |loc={{purple}} {{town|Stronghold}} (22, 69, 0)|Ambush|A report comes in that one of your supply trains was attacked. The enemy appeared out of nowhere, stole everything, and disappeared. Trackers tried to follow them, but nothing. It was as if they were never there.|effect=-8 {{w}} [[Wood]], -2 {{m}} [[Mercury]], -5 {{o}} [[Ore]], -1500 {{g}} [[Gold]]}} {{TErow| 21 |loc={{town|Castle}} (101, 50, 0)|take resources|effect=-10 {{w}} [[Wood]], -2000 {{g}} [[Gold]]}} {{TErow| 22 |loc={{purple}} {{town|Stronghold}} (22, 69, 0)|[[Raider's Plateau]]|While sitting at your evening meal, one of your warriors tells a story about a secret place where bandits dwell - the [[Raider's Plateau]]. It is believed that these bandits have a secret entrance into the [[Wallpeaks]] where they constantly ambush the supply wagons of the [[Wizard-Kings]] of [[Bracaduun]]. Wouldn't it be nice if this place were real?}} {{TErow| 28 |loc={{purple}} {{town|Stronghold}} (22, 69, 0)|Revenge & Doubts|And now, even some of your commanders have started voicing their doubts about your plan.<p>"What do we care about these [[Bracaduun]] lands? We have our homeland back now!" they say.<p>But you disagree. How can you allow the enemy to sit comfortably in their [[Tower]]s plotting the enslavement of the [[Barbarian]] people? They've destroyed entire families as they did with [[Yalla]].<p>Even your own family has been scarred. Two days out of the year, your mother would always break out in tears as she recalled the birthdays of your two older sisters. [[Bracaduun]] law stated that no Barbarian family could have more than one child, and your parents were so poor they needed a son to help with the hard work. They didn't want to do it, but they had to give their own daughters to the [[Wizard]]s.<p>And then there was what they did to [[Yalla]]...}} {{TErow| 32 |loc={{purple}} {{town|Stronghold}} (22, 69, 0)|Another Ambush|Your supply lines have been hit again. This was no ordinary ambush. The enemy struck quickly and vanished before the troops you assigned to protect the wagons had a chance to react. This will get costly unless you can rid yourself of these ambushes.|effect=-3 {{w}} [[Wood]], -3 {{o}} [[Ore]], -3 {{s}} [[Sulfur]], -2000 {{g}} [[Gold]]}} {{TErow| 39 |loc={{purple}} {{town|Stronghold}} (22, 69, 0)|[[Hardac]]'s Son|Today, you named [[Hardac]]'s eldest son, [[Tordac]], one of your captains. The young warrior is a charismatic leader - the troops like him. Despite weeks of depression, you smile at the parental pride visible on your old friend's face. It is a good day.}} {{TErow| 40 |loc={{purple}} {{town|Stronghold}} (22, 69, 0)|A bad day|Today was a very bad day.<p>You had to kill an [[Orc Chieftain]] who has been with you since the beginning, a bold captain and a good leader. But [[Ungrod]] went too far. It happened so quickly - [[Ungrod]]'s accusation that you were putting your personal blood quest ahead of the interests of the clans.<p>"You're as arrogant as a [[Wizard]]!"<p>Those were the hasty words that enraged you. Swords were drawn. The duel was short.}} {{TErow| 48 |loc={{town|Castle}} (101, 50, 0)|take again|effect=-5 {{gem}} [[Gems]], -3000 {{g}} [[Gold]]}} {{TErow| 51 |loc={{purple}} {{town|Stronghold}} (22, 69, 0)|Third Ambush|A lone soldier stumbles into your camp, barely alive. He tells you of another ambush. They were part of a small band attempting to transport some Gold secretly through your territories, but one night as they pitched their camp two [[Giant]]s appeared out of nowhere. The soldiers were no match for the creatures, and this man barely got away. Unfortunately, the Gold was lost.|effect=-2000 {{g}} [[Gold]]}} {{TErow| 56 |loc={{purple}} {{town|Stronghold}} (22, 69, 0)|[[Tordac]]'s trap|The ambushes have become an unbearable annoyance, so you gather your captains and advisors and ask if any of them have an idea how to stop them. The son of your friend, [[Hardac]], is the first to step forward.<p>"A trap, my King," says [[Tordac]]. "Load wagons with soldiers in disguise, waiting for an ambush. We'll release the rumor that half our Gold is in those wagons so the [[Wizard]]s can't resist attacking it."<p>It's a good idea, and from one so young. You're impressed, so you make [[Tordac]] the leader of this trap.}} {{TErow| 60 |loc={{purple}} {{town|Stronghold}} (22, 69, 0)|The Trap is Sprung|A pair of [[Ogre]]s return carrying the body of [[Hardac]]'s son, [[Tordac]], between them. [[Tordac]]'s trap was a success, but it came at a high price.<p>They were attacked by several [[Giant]]s led by a powerful [[Wizard]], which explains how the enemy appeared and disappeared so quickly. [[Tordac]] and the other soldiers fought bravely, and [[Tordac]] even managed to slay the [[Wizard]] before he too fell.<p>Then [[Hardac]] arrives, distraught and weeping as he clutches his son's corpse.<p>Placing a hand on your friend's shoulder, you say, "He died with glory. You should be proud."<p>[[Hardac]] looks up at you, a flash of regret in his eyes as he says, "I brought him along with me."}} {{TErow| 67 |loc={{town|Castle}} (101, 50, 0)|Portal of Glory|effect=[[Portal of Glory]]}} {{TErow| 85 |loc={{blue}} {{town|Castle}} (96, 78, 0)|Portal of Glory|effect=[[Portal of Glory]]}} |}
