Just think of the joys they could have prepared all the way up Landsdrop, the constant sniping at commanding ur-viles, the artillery strikes against Fleshharrower, the string of daisy-cutter mines along Doom's Retreat, and, of course, the uplifting sight of a dozen Challenger 3 tanks cutting up yet another ur-vile wedge with 120mm HE(I) rounds and then blasting Foul's Creche to shreds with APFSDS. :)

Or, alternatively, he could have brought a towel...

Multivitamins? Maybe a bulk delivery of Lithium for the siege of Revelstone? Oh, and to go back to something mentioned ages and ages ago, how about THE WHEEL so that the people of the Land could build wagons to help transport the Warward? :wink:
rofl :haha: :haha: lol .. yeah he should have brought a towel!!

like those big white things that rumble along behind horses in westerns? ok i get it..

but why didn't the lords and the warward use them? time needed to make them? i guess thats it... and what would they make it out of?

thats a point... if the lords didn't use wood, rather the earthpower inside, how did they presume to make the gilden keels for the giants?

It says somewhere that horses are rare in the Land. Who's gonna pull the wagons? Rahynyn? I don't think so! :P

They get two choices : pull the wagon, or be what sticks two of the wagon's plank's together. :)

Yeah in TPTP the bad guy army is repeatedly topped up with supplied brought on wains.

No way can I cite where though as my books are in a cardboard box at a mate's place that I can't get to. I'm very certain of it, though.

F&F will help us out he always does.


Attn Dromond : Think how frustrating it is to never be able to find the sticky tape, or a pen, or your glasses/sunglasses, or whatever. Make these products with ranyhyn glue, and they'll appear the moment you wonder where they are :)

(stuff made with sandgorgon glue will take a little longer, but are usually exempt from customs hold-ups, so use it for exportable goods)

So there you have it, TC should take with him the blueprints for a knackery!
