THE ENEMY is very Tall, standing some 10 Feet in Height, and is covered with a short fur, with markings similar to that of a DOG. It comes from the mountains of Sorrow's Reach, north of the Stone Clan, and bears the Silver Dragon emblem on its Armor. BE ADVISED: THEY HAVE TAKEN SORROW’S KEEP. They keep prisoner Court Scribe Iazen and others. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO APPROACH THEIR STRONGHOLD IN THE REACH. YOU RISK YOUR OWN LIFE AND THAT OF THE PRISONERS! Their LATEST ATTACK was the 5th of Akroeg. Even during long periods of Blessed Peace, they are still believed to be Active and Planning. TYPES. The various Types have been named in the order of their Experience (listed from Weakest to Deadly) by Lt. Cmdr. ESMIAN: Ranged: Bowyer Hunter Sharpshooter Deadeye Toxophilite Melee: Instigator Partisan Dissident Fomentor Rebel Incendiary Malcontent The Lt. Cmdr. likens the weakest to a Viper, the middle to a small Gryphon, and the Worst is deadlier than the Celpeze. Be wary of your engagements! TACTICS. The following have been employed. The Elpalzi are very WILY and are known to change strategies often. They may use some, all, or None. BOMBS. They are known for their most Cruel and Unusual use of small animals fitted with Deadly Explosive Devices. Be wary of CATS, KITTENS, BUNNIES, and the awkward and ugly GIDII. DO NOT PET SMALL ANIMALS!
