@ Ayreon & Hell_Wizard:

play your turn, save, and share the save
Hell_Wizard is next!
Day 1
Rumor has it thousands of years ago the last of the Behemoths went into the mountains to hide from hunters and trappers. Now the Behemoths have come for their revenge. The villages around the mountains need your help killing the ancient beasts.
Tazar was very pleased to see Bron in the local Tavern and hired him for a few mugs of ale. On the other hand, Bron was not so pleased to part with his Basilisks, but was quickly sent off to flag an ore mine west of the town. Tazar didn't know this part of the swamp so well, so he decided to play it safe and not go for Wyverns day two but Serpent Flies instead. He recruited all the troops and rode out, heading east. He didn't stop by the Sawmill to claim it, since he had other things to do: a Crypt nearby drew his attention...
He continued westward, staying on the road to have more movement next day. Satisfied with day one, he felt generous and hired a Dungeon hero - to boost the army, flag the Sawmill and the Gnoll Hut, and perhaps send him to that mysterious one-way portal...

That was one hell of a start. Orrin, known for his expertise in archery, spent half a day in the newly constructed Mage Guild. Since there was only one level, he had time for more on the very same day. He recruited a few loyal pikemen, who were eager for battle. While carefully flagging a sawmill, he noticed a nice treasure chest. His commander upgraded his attack and defense skills, while Orrin himself chose to use experience to gain more leadership.
Meanwhile, he ordered his hometown to recruit allies. And so it happened that Cuthbert joined his side. Cuthbert came to the discovery of a magnificent artifact called, the Talisman of Mana. He didn't find much more except for some pieces of wood.

Good job, guys!  You don't always have to post the story and screenshots... I did that to introduce the settings etc. It would be nice if you had the time, of course. 
Day 2
Bron, Malekith and Tazar did some simple chaining to get the Dungeon creatures (as well as a new stack of Basilisks) to Tazar. The Beasmaster stayed on the road and easily made his way through wandering Centaurs and Halflings. He was secretly hoping to improve his skills, but alas, there will be no time for that - amid the tall trees Tazar noticed the rooftops of a small Fortress outpost.

Turn 4
A short description:
When he heard of the new Demon Gate in Brimstone, Calid has returned to take the new inhabitants of his town. Then the explorer went to Zydar, left the Demons in his master's army, and took for the nearby Sawmill. Zydar then continued his adventure and lost 20 of his imps in a battle with Gargoyles.
- The End -

Vlaad's turn. up here
Day 3
Since Orrin had been sleeping on day 1, he found that his building plans for a refined economy wouldn't fit in one week. Therefore, instead of building a Blacksmith, he reckoned that it was smarter to gain more recruits. His eye had fallen on a bunch of wild Magogs, who block the path to further glory.
When Cuthbert had flagged an ore mine, he heard the call from his master Orrin, who ordered him to approach. Cuthbert did not really listen, and grabbed a treasure chest first. As a punishment for his insubordination, Orrin took the Talisman of Mana from Cuthbert, and decided that he could take his army as well, Magogs are fierce enemies after all.
Now, all preparations are being made for the attack. When Orrin was ordering the pikemen to create a camp for the night, Mirko, his commander, tended to speak to him. 'Sir, I would advise you not to be so hard for the men. I guarantee they do their work better, with a good morale.'
Orrin looked at him and knodded. 'I understand your concerns, Mirko, but these men don't even know how to set up a camp! Some fight that will be tomorrow...'
And night fell...

Day 3
"Chaaarge!"
Tazar was eager to engage in battle! His troops slaughtered the defenders and the beastmaster claimed a second town. It was just an empty outpost, but even a savage warrior such as Tazar had to stop and admire the scenery: there were few places in his native Tatalia more beautiful than these lucid pools... Needless to say, the precious experience he had just gained pleased him even more than the nice view; Tazar was now an Expert Armorer, while his commander mastered Basic Hit Points. Later on the commander may pursue a magic skill because of the valuable Haste spell, but his short term goal is to reach the priceless Fear ability as soon as possible.
Tazar ordered a Mage Guild to be built, as he felt uneasy without any spells. Then he rode south to claim a gem pond guarded by some sturdy dwarf miners...
Meanwhile, Malekith reluctantly went through the one-way portal only to find himself on a stranded island on the other side of the land. He collected some minor treasure, but three portal exits made him uncomfortable. There was no doubt the enemy would soon find their way here...

Ayreon*s Turn
Short Report:
Calid, feeling fresh in the morning, quickly raided on a pile of wood near the sawmill. After seeng no resistance while taking over the lumber camp itself, he went to explore the last unguarded territory. All he found was a scholar, who taught him how to make his spells stronger. Meanwhile, Zydar found a pile of gold behind an ore pit and took back to Brimstone. In the end of the day, he saw that Calid is right near him, returning to the city he was hired to protect. Judging by the rumors, there was already a mage guild in Brimstone.

Day 4
As Mirko had promised, the fight against the Magogs went very easily. 'Soldiers are not automatically good builders,' he told Orrin, who still wondered why they couldn't set up a normal camp. He now had a lot more confidence in his army, and with a big smile on his face he went to see what the Magogs were guarding. They seem to had imprisoned a merchant inside his own house. The merchant was trading in war machines, and in exchange for a suitable amount of gold, Orrin was given a ballista. 'Can always come in handy,' he told Mirko, who seemed to question his buy.

Day 4
Having seen Tazar's army approaching, the dwarves started to scatter but didn't get far. The beastmaster would have considered this day wasted had he not mastered Logistics after the skirmish with the miners.
He has also spotted a Witch Hut nearby, but - like most warriors - Tazar was wary of witchcraft. He must send Bron to inquire into the hag's intentions...

Ayreon*s Turn
Zydar hurried to his castle. He knew his people already knew what requided a Fire Lake.
"Hurry! Build a Fire Lake!" shout Zydar happily, watching at his approaching friend Calid.
"We need ten more ore! Mhahahaha!" said the main builder of Brimstone. And his head fell before his body.
"Mango, replace him!" commanded Zydar and left to kill some more creatures while he was angry. "Oh, yeah, build me a Hell Hole and give me the Pit Fiends! On the double!"
It was already evening, when he approached a group of Gnolls. They seemed friendly and joined the heretic. That was the end of the day.
When Calid heard of the new unguarded path, he hurried to explore for his master. But the only road he saw there was guarded by some Gremlins, so he borrowed the Gnolls from his master and defeated the small green creatures.

Day 5
'Stay awake, master.' Orrin sat up straight immediately and gazed with empty eyes at his commander. It had been a boring day for Orrin and his army, he had to do great effort not to fall asleep. As they reached a magic well, Orrin felt his mana rise, and it made him feel a lot better. The journey southwards made them spot Gargoyles.
'Be careful, master,' said Mirko. Orrin merely grunted. Like he didn't know that his army was not capable of killing this amount of Gargoyles.
Cuthbert on the other hand had been travelling back to Kanan, with orders from Orrin to make the city ready for siege. Orrin could be really paranoid when it came to enemy attacks. A castle was build, possibly providing more troops for the next week. Since there were areas to explore, Cuthbert left Kanan on the very same day, riding southwest, into the black void...

Day 5
Bron climbed the steep stairs and reluctantly entered the Witch Hut. Normally he shunned from hags and their mysterious purposes, but he was here under Tazar's orders. "So your master was so afraid that he sent you?", the witch sneered from the depths of the dark room. "Very well!" Bron didn't say anything, but he could feel cold sweat running down his forehead. He stood on the doorway for what seemed like a thousand years, although it was but a few moments. When the witch was finally done, she let a scream then started giggling. The beastmaster feared no Basilisk's gaze, but this giggle got him running. When he finally stopped, he realized he now possessed the knowledge of Offence. Tazar will be pleased!
Meanwhile, a citadel was erected back in Mossden, while the double build in Deadfall will be halted after the construction of a town hall. The Wyvern Nest on the following day would have been impossible if all the three heroes hadn't wasted their movement to collect resources and gold from treasure chests...

Thanks. I've always thought heroes must feel uneasy about Witch Huts because they could learn Eagle Eye or Navigation, you know?
