Funny little story. I'm not normally one who 'role plays' my games much, but the way this turned out was so amazingly humorous I had to relate it.
The Lanun empire managed to spread quickly over the multi continent world, and joins the fellowship of the leaves religion. Exploration revealed a certain island, that contained on it: 1 Gorilla, 1 Wolf, 1 Lion. Knowing that the Lanun priests could summon a Tiger, the Grand Menagerie seemed like an easy and sure thing, assuming they could get someone to go capture these wayward animals.
A crusty old satyr answered the call, and was transported over to the island where he quickly round up the wild animals, and trucked them back to Dunwich. Mission accomplished!
But wait... we were missing one, there needs to be a Dancing Bear to make the Grand managerie. But bears are common, and tend to stick around on archipelago style maps like this, right? I should find one settled down in a nice lair somewhere?
Wrong. I searched almost the entire map, My crusty old satyr taking to the seas (He was mollified) in searches of one final bear.
And then... And then we found it. It was owned by the Nasty Amurites! They had captured the Last Bear already, and had decided to not make it dance. Of course, war was declared (Dubbed by historians as the War of the Ultimate Ursine).
The Lanun hired dozens of mercenaries to win this war as fast as possible. Unfortunately the the Crusty Old Satyr was on the other side of the world... sailing as fast as he could to the Amurite lands. Would the raucous mercenary army accidentally kill the (Hidden nationality) bear owned by the Amurites? Would the amurites extinct themselves thereby disbanding the bear? It was a race against time! Fly my Satyr, Fly!
In the end, the satyr fought exactly one combat in the War of the Ultimate Ursine. He killed the last unit, in the last city, owned by the amurites. And in doing so, both captured the last remaining bear living in the entirity of Erebus, but also banished the Amurites from the land forever.
Truly Epic!
