More decades passed and stil the Scout group could not find their way home.

[Pitboss Greece]

Athens, home of the Athenians, was built on the shores of the seas.
It was a beautiful place and the Athenians lived in peace.
Some scouts were sent into the far distance to make contact with other peoples. Peoples they had never met but had heard about when their parents told them the great legends of the past.

Time went by. Day by day, hour by hour, and everything stayed the same. No word from the scouts.
Only the lazy life of farmers who live near fruitfull grounds and enjoy the sun during the days and the moon during the nights.

It's good to be an Athenian, every Athenian would tell you, if you asked him.

[Pitboss Greece]

Nearby Athens stood the Mountain Olympus.
The gods lived on this mountain.
The Olympus was home of the Gods who ruled the Athenians.

[Pitboss America]

The Hovel Report



There is upon this earth a sanctuary of freedom and liberty where man (but not women) can live in harmony - it is called America. 'We inhabit Washington which was founded on the banks of the Potomac River by our immortal leader Roosevelt. Fortunately he was well endowed (despite odd issues with this legs that no one understands) so we have multiplied to 100 odd souls. Game, maize and cattle are bountiful in our land. The Tree Gods were truly pleased with us.

There is alarm in the village though ... a strangely dressed group of men were seen in the distance. The women have been sent into hiding to keep them safe. Unfortuanately Wendy the Whore escaped and was seen running across the fields to throw herself on the new comers. Envoys have been sent to find out their intentions (other than what will be obvious with Wendy). Perhaps they'll keep Wendy.

How did you get those screen shots. I can't even rotate the camera, much less drop the angle

The lsot generations
---------------------

The city was stagnant. For centuries now there had been no growth. There was a complete lack of food and resources, the people were dieing at the same rate as the birth rate.

The Ruling family has no idea as to how to change this and the people were not happy, in fact suicide was the greatet cause of death in Oldonia.

More circles in the empty world for out scouts. Seem to have found a very large lake, they killed this a Sea as they could See it was big.

[Pitboss Vikings]

It was approximately 350 years after the palace was built and the scouting expedition sent out.

Still no growth in the popualtion but some of the palace dwellers had begun long walks and in the foothills of the Great Mountain they discoverd some shiny rocks. They liked the look of these things and they emplored the Olde Family Elders to help them work out how to bring them into the palace and make use of them.

Achievements


Piercian warriors are now patroling on our territory.

A great discovery has been made about the fauna of the region. The so called El-Ey-Fats are actually creatures of the land, and not of the sea. Entire herds have been dicovered not too far away from Pierced Hill.


Our scouts are now heading for further away territory, hoping to meet other tribes. May the spirits be with them.

The Oldonian LAnds

[Pitboss Japan]

Much time has passed since Lord Oda sent out the three ninja from the hidden leaf. After 3yrs they finished there recon of the southern and western parts of the island and reported back to Lord Oda. Oda had them sit and eat a meal prepared specially for them. “Now tell me, what have you seen so far?” Oda asked the leader. The leader replied, “ My Lord Oda, we have seen many things in our travels. We have seen other lands that have leaders like you who are concurring everyone in their path. Is only a matter of time till they make it to Kyoto. We have also seen thousands of barbarians wondering throughout the land led by a woman with long red hair and blue eyes. She was said to be moving from place to place leaving a path of destruction along her path.” “ Where is this woman now?” said Oda. The leader replied, “ well sir I'm not entirely sure but from our reports they where last spotted heading north of here.” “ What other news do you bring?” said Oda. “ We have marked every location on this map we made of who controlled each location and what resources are there.” Said the ninja.
After the three finished there meal Oda sent them to gather recon of the north and to find the red hair woman. Once the ninja left Oda ordered an emergency meeting of all his generals. In this meeting he told his generals what the ninja told him about the threats to Kyoto. He talked about the six major threats to peace, which were first, the 5 daimyo that are growing powerful enough to try to take Kyoto, and the barbarians. He told his generals, “ We must face our enemies now before they are able to move against us. We must wipe them out all at once and show then that they will not intimidate the Oda. As for the barbarians I will personally lead a force to wipe them all out as for the rest I will leave each of you to pick who you would like to fight. Once I am done with the barbarian threat I will join each of you. Now go assemble your forces for soon the dogs of war will be let out and the rivers will run red with the blood of our enemies.”
The six top generals then decided which daimyo they wanted to face. Maeda Toshiie decided to go after the Imagawa Yoshimoto. Naganasa Sassa wanted to take out Nagamasa Azai. Tokugawa Ieyasu wanted Akechi Mitsuhide. Which left Toyotomi Hideyoshi with Sanada Masayuki and Shibata Katsuie took Takeda Shingen. The protection of Kyoto was left in the hands of the only one Oda Nobunaga trusted with the city and that was Hattori Hanzo. The plan was to wait another few years till they were ready and once they were ready they would go and destroy the other daimyo. The only one who had a different plan was Oda took two others and left to take care of the barbarians.

There was a crashing through the trees and suddenly it was upon the lost scouts. A herd of ferocious lions. The scouts were unprepared and every man woman and child in the group were slaughtered.










{Sadly this ends the expedition}

[Pitboss Vikings]

Outside the city the people could see the evil animals. They didnt know if the animals would venture inside the city. The Leaders kept making promises but no one beleived them.

The people asked the leaders to teach them how to fight these wild animals. But the leaders did not know how. They had no weopons, no sticks or rocks to throw. They hoped and prayed to the Great one to take this away from them.

The people decided it was all too much. At night they crept into the palace and slew the Olde Family. They threw their carcasses out to the Lions and hoped they would go away.

The whole of Oldonia was in peril. No one could leave the city for fear of being killed.
