>>5905519>Action 1: Nightmare Obelisks. The temple of Zenmetjenu creates cursed pillars which they sink into the water, to afflict whales above them with Tulpas, the great size of the whales should make it easier to only target them with the Tulpas.As the rightful heir is busy finding a way to hurt the whales physically, the priests of Zenmetjenu ponder to use their magic to solve what strength cannot. A problem is that a dream mage attacks through eye contact, but when they think of cursing items, then suddenly the problem seems trivial. Cursed gates are hard to manage because you can expend its energy by just passing a lot of people through them, but whales are even fewer in numbers than Kefis. With this in mind the temples start producing stone Obelisks etched with cursed sigils on each of their four faces, containing Tulpas. The great size of the whales makes them easy to target, leaving Kefis unaffected, even when the Obelisk is active. The Obelisks are then rowed out into the waters and sunk, they take great effort to sink them upright, yet with enough speed to dig themselves into the seabed, because the tip of the Obelisk projects the cursed aura upwards, so if any whale swims above the Nigtmare Obelisk, they will be cursed.
>Action 2: Attack on Kem-Mi-Neb Estate. Miew assassins strike at the Rightful Heir Meraha and his supporters, and succeeds in wounding him, severely.As the Lower Pharaoh Hatmer loses further influence, the remaining Per-Desher family makes their move, rallying to Meraha's banner, leaving Hatmer to her court of Miews and barbarians. Word soon travels across Ta about this, and that a meeting will take place between clans Per-Desher and Kem-Mi-Neb. Kem-Mi-Neb was one of the two largest clans at the conquest of Ta, but Per-Deshers tactics and diplomacy has Kem-Mi-Neb convinced to join rather than fight, a fight they may very well have been able to win. Thus they present as an open question to Per-Desher rule... should they ever oppose them. It is therefore troubling should Per-Desher and Kem-Mi-Neb side with Meraha, as that would be the deathknell of Hatmer's rule.
It is therefore, while Upper Pharaoh Grognar marches to face the Rightful Heir's warband, that hundreds of Miew assassins infiltrate the Kem-Mi-Neb Estate, attempting to slaughter every man, woman and child there. Though they were able to slay most of the Kefis at the estate, the Kem-Mi-Neb High Chieftain made his escape and the assassins were forced to trap Meraha in the burning estate after he slew a hundred assassins just by himself. Grognar would later find the Kem-Mi-Neb estate a smoldering ruin. Bodies of Miews and Kefis alike, with one survivor, buried in charred rubble, a nigh unrecognizable Meraha, his body severely burned head to toe. A group of Penew servants would attempt to secret Meraha away in the night after, to somewhere he may recover, though the odds don't look good.
