INSULTS, MESSAGES, and CHALLENGES


To:Pagan Demonlords
From:Kane, Sneaky Gits (1786) [KC]
We salute you and your fallen brothers after our recent battles. We can't decide whether it was madness on your parts or not. If only some of your allies had some of the same courage and backbone on the field of combat. Your souls will be sorely missed. We were mainly enquiring as to whether Ballister Gunn had chewed dirt in the last battle. We know you lost some Dwarf Fighters but weren't sure if he was one of the casualties. We hope to see you in the future on the battlefields of Cromlech.


To:Ravens and The Circle
From:Degeneration X (1694)
You too want to destroy the Knight Crusaders, well... I see it like this: I'll take your swords, shen them up real good, turn the sonovabitches sideways, and then shove them straight up your ..........


To:All
From:The Sultans of Swords (1530) [KT]
The warriors are returning from their home in the desert, armed with their scimitars and adorned with their prized possessions. Unbeaten in all fights against NPCs and monsters. These men of the sand are now over 150 turns old and ready for the oncoming war. The question is... are you?


To:All
From:Clod Hoppers (1207) [KT]
Spare a thought for Herm. He lived up to his name but was globed before his time.

To:Pagan Demonlords (1315) [UPC]
From:Gnomes (1901) [KT]
After defeating Pagan Terrors (1749) so easily we decided to take it easy on you and try to make a fight of it... But you fought well, better than expected. (Pity our only loss was to a globe) P.S.: Don't let The 'Gits' grind you down... (Oh, I see they already have)


To:Danaan Anti-Heroes (1736) [DSL]
From:Ripping Yarns (1282) [COTB]
Best wishes and deepest respects. Please get in contact so that I may arrange the 14 funerals and 1 hospital bed that you are going to need.


To:Herald Editor
From:Wipeout, Surfs Up (1742) [KT]
Hi, I noticed in the issue 1 of the Herald that there was no Fame and Fortune section. I was wondering whether you are going to print it again? The Fame and Fortune was what made the newsletter great and many like myself who are relatively new to Cromlech get the chance to see how good our parties are in their age catagory.

Don't worry! Fame and Fortune will return (ED).


To:Rabbits (1424)
From:Rhall McArgen, Circus of Kwim (1079) [KT]
Your senseless prattling betrays your fear. Once we've sorted out this Dragon we're coming for you. Run rabbit run.


To:Up for the Quest (1680)
From:Sparky, Circus of Kwim (1079) [KT]
We have discovered a dungeon bursting with trasure and need your help. Bring extra sacks!


To:Moon Warriors (1560) [T/S]
From:Satans Saviours (1156) [DSL]
For our first battle, SS gave you a run for your money, perhaps a higher flee factor and the victory would have been mine.
We salute your victory.


To:Clod Hoppers (1207) [KT]
From:Gnomes (1901) [KT]
What about poor old Grom? Barely saw where the offending globe came from.


To:Crusaders of Death (1280) [T/S]
From:Primordial Chaos (1155) [DSL]
Those disintegrate spells did the trick. With no armour or weapons, what do we fight with? But we're still smiling and maybe when we bump into each other again, I will hit you with an engulfing globe or three to return the favour.
