(IR) The 3rd IR, Turn 7 (thread 4)

I have a number of statements of mass destruction from both sides of this conflict, in addition to the Attack/Defense Dueling and Coup de Grace Attacks.

And I myself have yet to issue my statements of mass destruction, if any.

I am making a Ruling now concerning this:

If you lose countries or areas of your Power, your Main Infrastructure suffers.
It is the equivalent of a minor Coup de Grace Attack, except that I must assign how much damage you take (or I take.)
This damage will never exceed 90% of your Main Infrastructure.
Only an 11th Level Coup de Grace can totally eliminate your Power.

People killed by these lesser actions can be resurrected, given enough time (people killed by an 11th level Coup de Grace cannot ever return.)
Infrastructure destroyed by these lesser actions can be replaced, given enough time.

I do not think there will be time enough, in either of the above cases.

With that said ...

An awful lot of people are about to die in this IR.

Seers looking into the future are predicting between 5 to 50 billion killed, and an equal number wounded, in the next 2 days.
With further enormous casualties likely after that.

THE RULES FOR EMPLOYING 11TH LEVEL MAGIC IN WAYS OTHER THAN DUELING

Each Power in the IR has a large army of mages, clerics, psionicists, and perhaps other wonder-workers who are capable of casting 11th level spells and otherwise employing 11th level magic.
Considering what a single mage capable of throwing 11th level spells could do, there is no question concerning the astronomical capabilities of a whole army of such mages, especially if this army has large amounts of time in which to spellcast.

Indeed, the whole point of 11th Level Dueling is to destroy this army of mages - and clerics, psionicists, and others capable of wielding 11th level magic - for this 11th level army is the supreme weapon of the Power in question (the equivalent of having Warp Drive, when everyone else is limited to Impulse Drives.)

- - -

The List below assumes the whole army of mages, clerics, psionicists, and others are working to accomplish the end specified.

The List represents what they can accomplish, given a certain length of time, from a few seconds to the entirety of Turn 7.

If they are attempting feats that require an hour of less to achieve, it does not interfere with your Power's Attacks and Defenses, or your ability to Hold Attacks and Defenses.
It is reasonable to assume that a very small portion of your 11th level army of mages, clerics, psionics, etc. are spending their time in alternate projects besides Attack and Defense.
Or, that your entire 11th level army quickly conducts the project in question, then returns to the business of Attack and Defense.

However, if your 11th level army attempts one of the projects below that requires more than an hour to achieve, it interferes with your Attacks and Defenses, and you cannot Hold Attacks and Defenses from day to day.
Simply put, it diverts so much of your 11th level army's efforts and time, that they cannot build up a Category 4 Attack or Defense, and they cannot maintain any level of Attack or Defense from day to day.
Your 11th level army is so busy on the alternate project that it's efforts in Attack and Defense are crippled. It cannot do both things at the same time.

- - -

Here is what your Power can do.

On each day of Turn 7, your Power can accomplish the following:

It can launch Category 4 Attacks and Defenses.
It can Hold Attacks and Defenses through to the next day.
It can accomplish 1 feat that would require an hour to accomplish.
Or, it can forego that, and accomplish 1 feat that would require less than an hour to accomplish.

Or:

It can launch Category 3 or weaker Attacks and Defenses.
It cannot Hold Attacks and Defenses through to the next day.
It can accomplish 1 feat that would require a full day to accomplish.
Or, it can forego that and accomplish 1 feat requiring less than a day to accomplish.

If you state your Power is attempting to accomplish a feat that requires a week to accomplish, your Power must spend a week working on the project.
Forget Category 4 Attacks and Defenses, or holding your Attacks and Defenses from day to day, as long as your Power is working on the project.
At the end of any day during this effort, your Power may elect to accomplish a lesser feat - one requiring a day or less to accomplish.
IF YOU DO THIS, YOUR POWER RESETS.
Of course, your week-long project is totally ruined, all the effort spent on it wasted.

If you state your Power is attempting to accomplish a feat that requires the entire Turn to accomplish, your Power must spend the entire Turn working on the project.
Forget Category 4 Attacks and Defenses, or Holding Attacks and Defenses from day to day, for as long as you are working on the project.
At the end of any day during this effort, your Power may elect to accomplish a lesser feat - one requiring a day or less to accomplish (or a week or less to accomplish, if a week or longer has passed.)
IF YOU DO THIS, YOUR POWER RESETS.
Of course, your Turn-long project is totally ruined, all the effort spent on it wasted.

- - -

Note that most of the feats shown in the lists scale in power. The longer you spend on the project, the greater the result.

Increasing your Player Character's PL by 5 requires mere seconds, for instance.
Increasing your Player Character's PL by 10 requires a few minutes.
Increasing your Player Character's PL by 20 requires an hour.
Increasing your Player Character's PL by 100 requires a day.
Increasing your Player Character's PL by 200 requires a week.
Increasing your Player Character's PL by 300 requires the entire Turn.

In these cases, lesser effects do not stack.
To obtain a PL of 20 for your Player Character, your Power must spend an hour to do so - it cannot spend a few seconds to raise said Player Character's PL by 5, then repeat the process hundreds of times.
To obtain a PL of 300 for your Player Character, your Power MUST spend the entire Turn working on the project - nothing less will do.

This applies to each and every feat shown in the lists below, for nearly all of them scale in the same fashion.

Assume that ALL the feats below scale, and you cannot go wrong.

You may destroy an area the size of Furyondy (think of the Rain of Colorless Fire.) Everything in the area is permanently dead, and all structures are erased from existence.
You may protect an area the size of Furyondy from 11th level destruction in any form. You must publicly designate what is being protected, unfortunately.

URGENT TO ALL WHO HAVE YET TO SEND IN ATTACK STATEMENTS

IF YOU HAVE NOT YET POSTED YOUR ATTACK FOR DAY 4, DO SO AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

IN 6 HOURS, I AM RESOLVING COMBAT FOR DAY 4.

EVERY ATTACK COUNTS, ESPECIALLY YOURS.

NOT EVERY PLAYER HAS YET SENT ME THEIR ATTACK AND DEFENSE STATEMENTS.

I'm so frickin cocky, I pose my moves publicly. Hoo ha

<< We play to win, Legion of Dread. We will kick your ass. We are the forces of creation and life, all ethics aside. You are the forces of destruction and entropy. Our conflict is as natural and inevitable as the cycle of birth and death. But this time, birth shall win, as it never has before! >>

He raises his hands, crackling with thunderous psionic power, and he, along with hundreds of other postIllithid, raise their voices high.

<< Let there be life. >>

The stuff of the stars boils and writhes beneath them, and gives off great burning gouts of stellar plasma. Slowly, vast waves of burning hydrogen gather together in to enormous bulges, like lesions of fire, and then burst, revealing titanic forms hundreds of feet high formed of pure psionic force and stellar fire.

We live. Command us, Creator.

Anabstercorian calls out.

<< Creatures! I proclaim thee to be named the Starbearers. You are commanded to strike out with your cleansing flame and glorious light and undo the horror of the Red Goo. >>

It shall be thus, Creator. All glory to Ilsensine.

And the creatures closed themselves and began to thrum with energy.

<< The stars are in my favor, Phibrizzo. You shall face righteous defeat for your atrocity. >>

=============

11th Level Actions This Round

Level 4 Attack by the Starbearers: Destroy the Red Army. (Overwhelming wave of positive energy that releases them from their fate.)
Level 4 Attack by the Knights of Neraka: Destroy the Red Army. (Also a positive energy wave.
Both of them put up a Level 4 defense over themselves.
11th Level Wonder: Creation of the Starbearers

Hazen turns to Larissa Hunter, Mayor of Dyvers, and speaks softly. They are walking rapidly through the Great Hall of the Kevellond League.

"So know we fight against those who would damn our worlds. I think the truth about many of the great nations shall be revealed today, based on where they stand."

"Even if we do not fall into the Domains of Dread, many will die."

"You'ce done all you can," says Larissa. "You have the greater majority of the powers of many worlds standing with you on this. Sadly, some fools can only see making everyone else miserable in order to claim victory."

"Such things are to be expected, Larissa." Hazen says. "Free will is a great gift and a terrible responsibility, to quote Orrin Rilanth. Sadly, some people will chose to oppress their brothers rather than lift them up with them."

"Do we at least know where this new Shade faction stands?" Larissa asks.

"No. Clearly they knew something. It does not bode well that they refused to volunteer this knowledge before asking about a price. Still, I can hope. I can hope that this change in leadership is not a complex ruse."

URGENT FROM THE DM

ANY POWERS THAT HAVE NOT YET DECLARED ATTACKS, DO SO IMMEDIATELY.

I know Zelda declared an Attack.
She posted it two threads back.
Can anyone find her Declaration?

TOKIWONG, I NEED YOUR ATTACK/DEFENSE STATEMENT.
IF I RECEIVE NO STATEMENT, I WILL PLAY YOUR POWER UNTIL YOU RETURN.

Zelda

Hi, Edena:

I checked two threads back. The only reference to Zelda's attack was that you confirmed that you had received it.

I want to say it was a level 3 or 4 attack on the Black Brotherhood. I e-mailed her, but it is very early in the morning in Finland. I have also asked creamsteak if he knows what was her target and strength of attack.

Sadly, there will be massive casualties in this part of the IR. Peace cannot work when a few parties want the annihilation or the subjugation of everyone else.

Edited: On the previous thread, you had Zelda’s Thillronian Alliance - 100% intact 10 (CDG TOKIWONG’S EMPIRE OF IUZ)/10.

However, I was under the impression that she was fighting the Black Brotherhood. I have tried to e-mail her, but she is unlikely to respond before the attacks are resolved because of the time differential.

Perhaps you could treat her attack as on the Black Brotherhood. It seemed that she was ready to help avenge the losses Venus suffered.

The Twilight

It is a beautiful winter day in Faerun, Maztica, and Kara-Tur.
Under the green sky, balmy tropical conditions prevail clear to the pole.
The friendly sun shines down, pleasant and gentle at this time of year.
Over the polar region, a million stars shine down upon the dormant forests there.

In Zakhara, it is summer, and the moonsoon season has arrived, bringing brief powerful thunderstorms which interrupt the heating of the blazing sun.

Selune, in her blue-green beauty, shines down upon Toril.
Luna, where the Scro Star League comes to trade, also shines down in white, green, and blue glory.

Nobody is watching.
There are no people standing outside, feeling the summer breezes, the gentle warmth, or the fiery sun of Zakhara.
There are no shoppers heading to market.
There is no market to go to: all the markets are closed.
All forms of communication - satellite, airwave, cable, magical, are broadcasting Emergency Statements.
Nobody is listening.

Abandoned homes sit, the lights still turned on, the doors left open, the appliances still running.
Meals sit half eaten.
Drinks sit untouched, or spilled, and in many cases the delicate glasses and tableware are shattered all over the floors.

Pets sit abandoned, bewildered, wondering where their owners went, or running through the opened doors are wandering through the streets.

They are not in danger of being run over.
The streets are empty.
The wreckage of millions of vehicles bears mute testimony to the final panic that came and went.
Bodies of the dead, and some still alive but unable to move, litter the ghostly streets, and the pavement is covered in blood.

Great skyscrapers loom into the air, all their lights on, their power systems functioning, air conditioning creating a pleasant atmosphere inside.
But there is nobody to enjoy that atmosphere, and the great buildings are empty.

No people watch over the Preservation Combines, which have worked all these years to infuse the native flora and fauna with health and strength, their sacred duty to protect the forests and their inhabitants.
No people sit in the power stations, insuring the steady flow of Technomagical Energy to the billions who depend on it.
No people are working to create the energy anyways, so the power stations won't be running long anyways.

No people are monitoring the vast, underground greenhouses that feed the population of the nations of Oerth.
The plants are being drowned where the sprinklers were left on, or drying up where they are not being watered.
There is nobody there to care now.

No ships of commerce put out of port, either by sea or by spelljammer, by spaceport or by teleportation.
Huge cargoes of imports from hundreds of worlds sit on the docks, some of them priceless in value.
There is nobody to guard them. The guards left long ago.

Empty papers and debris, garbage and containers, blow down the empty streets of Toril, but nobody comes to pick them up, and the electronic monitors that would have detected the mess are long since shut down.

Fires burn out of control in many places, slowly spreading to become firestorms.
Homes, businesses, and even some of the great skyscrapers go up in flames.
No firefighters or magical preservers come to fight the fires.
There is nobody left, in most cases, to even see the fires.

They are crying.
In the crowded bedlam of the shelters of the Church of Mercy, people by the countless millions weep, or they sit and stare, or they talk about nonsensical things in a desperate effort to not think about the reality hanging over them.
Brittle efforts at humor are made, which are greeted by equally brittle laughter, which ends with bitter, sad looks from all involved, and then dies into silence.

Some people marry.
They were in love, and they want to marry the one they love before the end.
The tears of joy are mingled with the tears of sadness from hundreds of onlookers.

Some people cavort in mad festivals, or orgies, heedless of all else, engorging themselves with wine or seriously disabling substances, harming themselves - maybe even killing themselves, but they do not care anymore.

The soldiers stand dejectedly, offering no help and less comfort.
However, there are very few soldiers. These are the loyal ones, the ones who would not shirk their duty to protect their people.
Most of the soldiers ran away, and hid in deep bunkers under the ground or in magically protected places.

- - -

This is what it is like, across all of Toril.
Across all of Oerth.
Across all of Krynn.
Across all of Athas.
Across all of Mystara.

Across Selune and Luna, Toril's moons.
Across all the other planets of Realmspace.
Across Celune, Oerth's moon.
Across all the worlds of Greyspace.
Across all the worlds of Krynnspace.

Everyone knows.
Everyone knows the end is coming.
The silence in communications does not fool anyone; they know the dark truth.
The end is at hand.

Even the kender sit in silence, faces dark and fatal.

Elf, dwarf, gnome, halfling, human, neoillithid, phaerimm, orc, goblin, bugbear, kobold, mull, thri-kreen, giant, kender, ogre, minotaur; they all sit and wait for what they cannot stop, and they cannot survive.

Hellmaster Phibrizzo ignores everyone elses whining as he laughs from within...taking initiative he goes to the demon lords...

"I am Domain Lord Phibrizzo, I know you crave power much, 11th level magic, and I will help you with that...what's more though, is that once everyone enters Ravenloft in my domain, they will lose their 11th level magic and you will be able to gain it, power over your opposition, is that what you desire? Right now I am battling, the angels will be your playthings, that I guarantee...come, serve my domain and you shall be one of the most prominent races! Forget about the pitiful humans, I will bring infernal fires upon these lands like so many other lands, I will grant you the power you deserve, join me!"


He will also send his image to the Githyanki Lich Queen,

"You have asked for action, and now you have found it, evil has won and you know it! Bring your legions, let them come and they will be the army of my domain, you will be worshipped by the ones who sought to kill you and you will be a part of this evil! Look at your allies, the Union of Oerth, sure, they are powerful and crafty, but look how they align themselves with those who stand for good! You know the truth in my words, you know they have only manipulated you, become a part of Acererak and Myrkul...as well as the strongest undead in Ravenloft, join the fight and help the cause of evil!"

(We will also be saving up amass gold pieces for something later on....)

Three things:

*EDENA: How is the cydian metamorphoses going along? Also, have we had any success with the nightfighters or is it still too early? I need to know this because of invasion plans.

*Lich Queen: The hellmaster knows all is lost. His 9 or 10 allies stand with him, and all they have managed to accomplish is to unite the remainder of the multiverse against them. In other words, they have secured their own destruction. Meanwhile the Union of Worlds has secured its own life! (Edena, we tell the Lich queen about the progress of our cydian project, our colonization, our nightfighter project, and our new allies) Now is the time your majesty! Bring the remainder of your forces and join the fight against the Legion of Dread. As for the one known as Acererak? He is a fool and shall soon be eliminated. I have seen to it. By this time two days from now he will be naught but a mention in a history book.

*ALL FACTIONS: The Union of Worlds hereby officially claims dibs on kicking Acererak's poor little undead donkey. Let us deal with him. He didn't learn months earlier and he will get no second chance now.
