Team Alfa Eighty-Ninth Session

30th Harvest (continued)

thola questions the prisoner:

• what's with the dragons? "Three tribes united! The Flind's bow to the Great Mind"
• Blood is our goddess! Strength our god!
• The Great Pack will sweep across the mountains and the rivers! Bring back many captives!
• Gnoll labor is battle! Someone must lay brick on brick
• United, we focus our aggression outward!
• Where do dogs come from? Space! The Great Mind constructs them and gifts them to us to spread our rage!
• We bring back to him treasure and captives to work on even greater Wonders!
• When you are gone, the first thing we shall do is burn the outposts -- dwarves and men and halffolk willl fill our city and our bellies! Then we will push north
• The gnoll is executed

The Collectorum questions some dead

• The human livestock numbers in the low for digits
• We prepare for the final battle that will decide the fate of this river valley, and the world!
• Do you know of the tree? *The Hanging Willow -- yes, it is haunted! We do not go near it.*
• (He gives the location of the tree)

We seek out the tree and unlock it with our key, eventually. Takes a few attempts but we get in. Then we debate strategy, ultimately deciding to explore the tunnel and gather some intel before deciding. (there's a button that opens and closes it from the inside)

Likely option:

• Cenomorph sends an expeditionary force.
  • we infiltrate, instigate an uprising
  • have giants sent to us
  • coordinate giant attack
  • Monstertown defends from an entrenched position

We alert Monstertown to be alert for incoming, bunker down
