I gated to Trinsic to check out the beach. I thought I'd check to see if sand dwellers were about and if not, I'd catch some rays!

There were certainly many sand dwellers evident and they had already staked out the best sunbathing areas and were highly indignant that I might want to join them.

I summoned some earth elemetals to assist me since there were probably 60 or more sand dwellers, soldiers, brutes and archers surrounding me. It took quite awhile and a few nicely timed earthquake spells but I managed to polish off all aggressives. Just as I was finishing up, someone else joined and helped send the last sandy people to their sandy resting places.

I then visited Magincia and I was somewhat awed at the population of sand dwellers on the beach. The entire area was swarming with them! Just as an idea of the ones closest to me:

And these were just the ones nearest me, I had the entire beach out of sight still!

I notified Edison of the situation and set to work. He let me know that he and a party were clearing the Vesper beaches.

I lost track of time, of the number of campfires I built away from the battle, the dozens of earth elementals I summoned, the bodies I looted and eventually ran out of earthquake scrolls! I had filled three bags full of loot and decided to grab some more scrolls because there were still dozens of sand dwellers left. Not hundreds anymore but still a fair amount and too many for me to handle without all my magical paraphenalia.

I had to leave behind stacks of unlooted bodies sice they were surrounded by still quite lively sandy friends who were pounding on my elementals but I knew I would be to the bank to retrieve scrolls and back into action in no time!

I was surprised when I got back to see Edison, Kale Greeneye and many others battling the foe! They all worked quietly, in concert and were very focused so I picked off the edges of the horde of dwellers and sent my ellys in to assist wherever needed.

Eventually, all but just a few of the sand dwellers were slain and the valiant troupe of mages and warriors were focused on finishing them off so I returned home to attend to harvesting my crops, a task I had meant to do earlier.

As I was picking ears of corn I sorted through some of the loot I had gained and found a note I had taken from the body of a brute of a sand dweller that said, "...to create an indestructable army."

Regardless of their sheer numbers, the sand dwellers have no real chance. I alone was able to account for a couple hundred or more of them and when you get a disciplined team such as Edison, Kale, Atei and whomever else came to Magincia tonight, working against them, it only takes patience and time.

I'll be hours getting the sand out of my clothes, boots and underwear though..damn stuff gets everywhere!

I only poked my head in for a minute, was house hunting (yes im moving yet again when I find a big enough house). I gated to trinny and met a crew os sand dewds so I msged silivan and we wiped them out and are currently killing some in compassion.

They must have been everywhere! I was glad the crew showed up at Magincia last night. It was taking me so long to get through the masses of opponents that I was involuntarily letting loot encumbered corpses fade away.

Speaking of loot, we included you in the split and Atei is holding your share. I forgot about the obsidian so if you want some just see me in-game. I think I've accumulated enough to last me a hundred repairs

You see: Dirk the Sand Dweller archer

Now we know what Dirk has been doing all this time

Oh! How delightful, but unexpected and not necessary. I didn't really do much after y'all arrived, just cleaned up corners here and there. You all were the ones that took over sand pounding so effectivly. I was half afraid I'd shake down a building or two, I was earthquaking so much. lol

You are lucky there wernt any assasians. The poisen every 30 seconds. You might be for dinner otherwise
