Sandro used his force to drive a wedge between the four heroes to stop them from building the Angelic Alliance. If this powerful artifact is ever completed, Sandro's defeat seems likely and his plans of conquest will be ruined.

Prologue

File:H3x2 UAk.png

Gem: We have collected the pieces of the Angelic Alliance, but Sandro learned of our efforts and blocked our path. The bulk of his army now separates us from each other. We must break through the Necromancer's army and converge upon one point. Once we join the pieces of the Angelic Alliance, we can defeat Sandro. If we fail, he will dominate all of Antagarich.

Scenario

Timed events

Day 1 - Day 1
We are separated from the others by the inlet. Both groups must stabilize their foothold and drive back the Necromancers from the Contested Lands and AvLee. The Necromancers have a stranglehold on the area, but we should be able to drive them out. There are Erathian troops scattered throughout the area, and with the Angelic Alliance, our troops should not have trouble working together.
Day 1 - Computer Stuff (every 7 days)
+50 Wood, +25 Mercury, +50 Ore, +25 Sulfur, +25 Crystals, +25 Gems, +50000 Gold
Day 5 - Day 5
Research on combination artifacts had continued after the four of you left to search for the Angelic Alliance. The wizards discovered a horn made of precious metals called the Cornucopia. If you put the Everpouring Vial of Mercury, the Eversmoking Ring of Sulfur, Everflowing Cloak of Crystal and the Ring of Infinite Gems together, they will make this Cornucopia. Rumors have surfaced that these items, along with a few bags of gold, are circulating throughout the area. No doubt Sandro's forces are seeking them.
Day 10 - Day 10
Disaster has struck. Thieves entered the castle late at night, killed the guards and stole as much gold as they could run off with. This will set back your building schedule quite a bit.
Day 13 - Day 13
Strange things have been sighted. Near the small town of Gourney the ground seems to be on fire, but nothing burns near it. Some have seen a spectacular orb sitting in the middle, its fiery surface swirling the beautiful oranges and reds of fire. Others say there are Fire Elementals dancing among the flames, but no one can tell for sure.
Day 17 - Day 17
Stumbling into camp one night, a poor man collapses onto the ground in front of Gem. She quickly applies her healing magic, and he is able to tell her his tale. He describes a place where the imps have set up a cache of stolen treasures, but that is only the landmark to a wondrous orb set upon a golden base. The orb swirls as if filled with clouds and actually seems to overflow onto the ground. He saw magical creatures made of nothing more than the clouds floating in and around the orb. Chased out by Necromancers, he does not know if the orb is still there or if they have taken it.
Day 20 - Day 20
This is just not your week. A messenger who was traveling between all of the castles, trying to coordinate the assault, accidentally was carrying termites. He didn't notice them because he didn't have any wood on him. But the castles are now noticing, and it's going to take a lot of wood to rebuild everything and a lot of gold to pay for the exterminator. Also, it's the exterminator's wife, so you have to appease her with some pretty gems, or he won't come and you'll lose all of your defenses. -50 Wood, -10 Gems, -20000 Gold
Day 24 - Day 24
The Forest Guard scouts return, each of them reporting something of interest. Sandro's movements have been towards your location, and he leads a large army. Some of the generals have the pieces to the Cornucopia, but they should be taken out easily. One of the scouts, the last one in, has an interesting tidbit of information. Within the barren lands of the necromancer's lies an even more rocky and foreboding land. Traversable, this land holds an orb with a golden base. The orb looks to be made of silt or mud, but the scout could tell it was powerful. It may have already fallen into Sandro's hands, as he was close by.
Day 31 - Day 31
Crag came out of his tent swearing up a storm. The entire camp was infested with fleas and lice. Normally he wouldn't care about such things, but many of the troops will suffer some serious side effects if they don't get these taken care of. The cost is enormous to flea dip every last Behemoth, Orc, Wolf, Riders and the rest of the hairy bunch. -15000 Gold
Day 38 - Day 38
A raiding party swarmed over the camps and surprised everyone there. Barely able to escape with their lives, the troops were unscathed, but all of the equipment has to be replaced. The smiths require more ore to make the metals and the gold with which to pay them. -30 Ore, -10000 Gold
Day 41 - Day 41
A Behemoth, one of Yog's scouts, returns looking ragged and filthy yet also very happy and excited. He exclaims, "I killed a hundred of those bony critters before they ran me outta there. And I saw this pretty ball sitting in a puddle as far south as I could go. It's east of here, deep in Necro territory." He puffs out his chest with pride, knowing he has delivered important information because Yog looks very excited. The Behemoth was shown a meal and a bath.
Day 45 - Day 45
Knowing the bad luck you have been faced with recently, a seer has been brought on board to search for disasters. She will look into the future and see if anything will cause any more disasters. With some luck and a little work, future problems can be avoided. -5000 Gold
Day 48 - Day 48
A message arrived for Gelu. He quickly read it and then flew into a rage, screaming unintelligible words and pounding his fists against trees and rocks. His second-in-command picked up and read the note. This is what it said: "We regret to inform you that Caleb, Captain of the Forest Guard, was killed in the last skirmish with the Necromancers. We have confirmed he was slain by Sandro's forces. You are therefore requested to return to Erathia as soon as possible. Once there, you will be trained in the formal duties of Captain and gain control of the Forest Guard. Congratulations." Knowing how close Gelu must have been to Caleb, this will not be a happy promotion.

44, 5, 0	Passing through this idle valley you are admiring the scenery. It is beautiful here, with the pretty pond and stream running merrily from it. Beautiful flowers grow underneath the green foliage, and a warm wind blows. Unfortunately, you are not the only ones in this pretty little valley: some rotworms have inhabited the area and are now inhabiting you. Since there is no cure except time, you and your troops will be functioning more poorly than normal. File:Morale small.gif -1 Morale
62, 99, 0	This area is definitely at a higher elevation than the others. It may be wise to keep an eye out for Air Elementals patrolling the area.

89, 46, 0	While traveling through the barren lands, you realize this would be a place Earth Elementals would prefer.

91, 78, 0	With all of the Fire Elementals in the area, maybe you should be more careful and avoid getting yourself entangled in another ambush. Fortunately, there don't seem to be any around at the moment.

4, 72, 0	Ogre's Club of Havoc	Whoever that Ogre is, he keeps leaving all of his stuff just lying around. You'd fine him for littering, but the stuff he leaves isn't exactly trash.
14, 93, 0	Boots of Speed	A perfectly good pair of boots has been left here. Maybe the owner ended up running so fast, they ran themselves right out of the boots. Well, you won't leave these to just anybody. After all, Sandro could get his hands on them.
32, 21, 0	Centaur's Axe	This axe once hung in the Great Hall but was stolen a few years ago. You are glad to get it back.
37, 101, 0	Targ of the Rampaging Ogre	Seems an Ogre left this just lying around. It would be a shame for such a useful item to go to waste.
45, 88, 0	Endless Purse of Gold	Here is a little purse and it's filled with gold! What a good day, you found one of the artifacts those Forest Guard people were talking about. Maybe you'll find the rest of them too.
49, 15, 0	Shield of the Dwarven Lords	It seems the Dwarves must have been defeated whoever was holding this. With a rustle of the bushes, you discover who defeated them.
