We accepted the first
challenge to dispose of 40 trolls crowding together from the north. A
knight led us to the border forest. It wasn't so hot. Wide meadows were
crowded with sheeps. I took Lynin + Fey race and we begun strengthening
the defense. Scouts have reported a Shop to the south-east and some more
mines to convert. Miranda took some time to play with the sheeps, while
regenerating mana. She loved peaceful animals a lot. But not much time
after, we realized a horrible truth. The trolls were picking the sheeps
and throw them at us, making huge damage and stunning my units. Now we
needed to save as many sheeps as possible too. The towers would be
useful only with 4 archers in them, so I needed Lynin to set a defensive
perimeter in safe distance. Besides, there was an enemy hero travelling
with a pack of Ogres. Like always, there was not enough stones too. Mobs
of orcs were testing the defense, but unable to breach it. When Miranda
gathered enough Mages, she took a small squad and advanced north
slicing the east side of the map and avoiding the enemy hero. Another
shop was found in north-west corner. Miranda bought Shadowshiv Blade(+10
Damage, +1Asnn, 5% Cast Shadowform) from there, she would like to test
it in the next battle. The enemy hero dropped the Boots of Khamar(+20
Live, +5 Armor, -5% Cast Chance). Then it was time to finish them off.
As a reward we were offered to take Prince Henrik in retinue. Nothing
more to do there we continued to Silvermyr.
