I took the liberty of giving everyone a Builder's Guild and a razed teleporter in the corner of the map, which leads to the opposite corner.

So what is next? Do we need to choose races or build leaders?

Oops. I missed out a K in Daemonviru's name/email address. Trying again......

I can't be bothered with that stuff normally, so I just assign them arbitrarily and have non-customised heroes (but they start low level in this map anyway I think).

If everyone is interested in custom leaders, I could run with the tweaked map and set that up.

Here's a link to the edited version of the map, if you want to use it.

Puck, Leader of the Goblins, Day 1

The old protectors Toadstool Vale have left and now is our chance to prove that we are capable of being the defenders of The Vale. They always see us as being tiny and weak, but we have our ways of gaining power other than sheer strength.

Day 1, Orcs

We set about things.

Day 1, Halflings


What a beautiful day.
I have been woken by the kiss of the sun, the songs of the birds and the smell of eggs and ham.
Today I will head west to the builders guild and afterwards I am going to visit our farmstead, walk through the fields to the old oak tree, sit down for a pipe and a nap and then head to the pub for the evening.
Yes.. what a beautiful day.

Puck, Leader of the Goblins, Day 2

It seems the wild wolves in the forests are quite aggressive. Nobody has been harmed, and we have an excellent source of meat this day! Onwards we will push to find allies to strengthen our claim Toadstool Vale.

Sorry for the delay everybody, new job, seasonally depressed wife, and lucky me getting sick on top of that makes for a fun time. I'm starting to get back into livestreaming which should mean that I'll have plenty of time to play my turns as well. I'm trying to make it as often of a nightly thing as I can even if that means only doing so for one hour.

Orcs, Day 2

A Nymph tries to seduce one of our Orcs, but his cruelty won out, and so we still have our cavalryman. We have bought the loyalty of a whole tribe of goblins, and will set them on a nearby human city.

Day 2, Halflings

Oh no. Oh no.
A group of goblins has settled near the western glen.
So much for pipe and food and my afternoon walk.
If goblins are left to dwell, they will soon attack our homesteads.

We have to drive them away.

Puck, Leader of the Goblins, Day 3

A Fairy Sprite in the woods killed one of my guards. Luckily my cleric was well rested and prepared for the surprise; a magic bolt square to the chest had the sprite falling to the ground. What else is hidden in these woods waiting to attack when we are unaware?

Day 3, Halflings

We did it.
The goblin dwelling has been conquered.
Now we need to clean the pollution they brought to these lands.
It will take some time, but the earth will heal.
