Ghoulish Letters

This collection of notes was scavenged off of a scaab defeated while the adventurers were traveling in southern Gavony.

My dear Gisa,

Must you always cheat?

We AGREED on rules of conduct. The Five Laws of NecroWarfare: You can't raise ghouls mid-battle! You must send your army to meet me in the valley. Do not flank me! Do not sneak up behind me!
 * No spontaneous awakenings.
 * No luring, killing, and raising of bystanders or livestock.
 * Combatants face off at a predetermined place and time.
 * Combatants must have at least three limbs to play.
 * Headquarters are off limits.

Legless torsos do not count as soldiers. My skaabs have teeth marks all over their legs from your draggy little meat sacks. Oh, I want my sextant back. And do not come into my laboratory again!

You signed in blood. So it counts.

Geralf

Geralf,

Must you always whine?

I agreed to nothing. As always, you lack the brains of an infant.
 * I'll raise ghouls anytime I wish. You're just mad because you have to run back and sew more while I can just whistle them up from the grave.
 * If a farmer is stupid enough to check out a creepy light, then he deserves to be killed with a shovel and become my servant.
 * A predetermined place and time? What is this, a tea party?
 * Those so-called "meat sacks" are models of efficiency. You can't even make a skaab walk without giving it 17 different body parts.
 * I didn't take your stupid sextant. It probably melted in the fire.

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-style: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto;">I have decided that your lack of adherence to the Rules of NecroWarfare have utterly ruined our game. Therefore, I will no longer send my elite troops to the field of battle. I have far more devious plans.

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-style: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Have fun with your lesser specimens.

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-style: normal; text-align: center;">_____________________________________________________

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-style: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Geralf,

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-style: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto;">While I have no interest in your "devious plans," I must insist you inform me of your intentions if you plan to pass through my territory. As you know, my territory begins at Angel's Road and extends to Thraben.

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-style: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Gisa

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-style: normal; text-align: center;">_________________________________________________

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-style: normal; text-align: center;">

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-style: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Dear Gisa,

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-style: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Can you hear me laughing all the way from Trostad? Your territory does not begin at Angel's Road, but I can't be bothered to prove you wrong. If you must know, I plan to raze Thraben to the ground. It will be a glorious city of undead with me as the lunarch.

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-style: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto;">In an attempt to better myself, I've been musing on the nature of the Blessed Sleep. I postulate that the state of a skaab's mind is equivalent to that of a person who has attained that holy state. So, in actuality, I'm giving these poor sheep exactly what they desire most.

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-style: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Despite your past offenses, I extend you an invitation. Let us join together in this charitable venture. I claim the Thraben Cathedral, but the rest of the city is yours.

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-style: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Oh, I must introduce you to my Skaab General. I named him Grimgrin in honor of your face.

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-style: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Your loving brother,

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-style: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Geralf

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-style: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Geralf,

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-style: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto;">You've piqued my interest. I will join my forces with yours. Half the city is acceptable. But I demand half the corpses as well.

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 1.5em; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; font-style: normal; text-align: -webkit-auto;">Gisa
