The battle was won easily with minimal losses among our troops. Ragusa is now back in the folds of the empire and the Venetians have lost their recruitment center behind our front lines.

Unfortunately the battle was not won without sacrifice. Magnentios' servants hid the extent to which a disease caught at sea had ravaged his body, no doubt to avoid being pressured to skip the fight with the Venetians. While pulling a feint on a unit of spearmen to distract them from Markos' charging bodyguards, Magnentios fell off his horse. Markos' charge was a success, but Magnentios was torn to shreds by the spearmen.

The fortress was sacked for 8898 florins, as revenge for Magnentios' death.

Report of 1180

I must begin the report with some faction news. I am sadden to report that Pavlos Chrysovergos has paased away. The em- megas was a man whose loyalty and duty to the empire were above reproach he will will be sadly missed.

Recruitment:

Reinforcements and retraining in Zagreb, Damascus, Tortosa.

Construction:

No new projects

Taxation:

The recent addition from the sacking of Ragusa as assisted the treasury. We lost a merchant to the Sicilians.

Diplomacy:

The King of Portugal has left his mortal coil. I am unaware of his character or country. We exchanged maps with the HRE. Our relations with the Sicilians do hamper relations with the western factions. The Sicilians have many enemies.


Hot Issues:

No new issues

Military Campaigns:

We have captured Ragusa and can now move west with our supply line secured. Though it did come at a great loss.

In the east we have a settlement still under siege and we need to break the siege. The Egyptian land appear to be settling.

Save of 1182.

There is an adoption up from Kags avatar I left it in case anyone is looking for a new avatar. If no one wants it will decline when I pick up the save.

Will pick up Thursday the 22 after 1500 EST.

I have engaged the brigands terrorizing travelers on the road between Arta and Athens. Venetian coins and travel papers were found on the person of the bandit leader, leading me to suspect they were in the employ of the Italians. More worryingly, they seemed to know of our arrival, setting up a defensive position on the slope of a mountain we had been passed while looking for them, where my artillery was unable to follow.

Nonetheless they were easily routed and rounded up. All prisoners were executed as befits such scum.
