(IR) IR Interlude Turn 4 - 5 (thread 3)

Interesting

Malachi watches with an impassive glance, "So it is true then... the Union of Oerth does make a bid to prove their goodness..." he smiles, "we have seen all that is need to be seen. Perhaps with the leadership of such calm and thoughtful tyrants, Oerth will be redeemed and healed... or perhaps more blood shall be spilled... for I see little peace in the coming days."

"For all the good in this world, pride and arrogance will deny peace, if only to prove who is the stronger," Malachi continued, "Even when Acerak dies, the crusade will not be over. There is always someone left to fight."

When does turn 5 start?

Anabstercorian · Mar 17, 2002

And here comes the Meddler...

<< Acererak? >>

Anabstercorian just walks down the street. Where he came from is a mystery... But he holds the True Staff of Ilsensine in his hand. It appears to have grafted on to his flesh.

<< Acererak is not a threat to us. His desires are not your desires. His dreams are not your dreams. You fear him because of his power, but he does not care about your fate. The only fates he cares about are those of his Children, the undead. As long you don't harm the fates of his children, he is no threat to you. Indeed, he is one of the more straightforward entities involved in this vast conflict. >>

He stares out at the crowd - A solar, a Fae, a gnome, and Kas himself.

<< You're all rather silly, you know. You always need to have an enemy to kill, a foe to thwart, an impossible deed to finish for the sake of all your people. Can't you get it through your head that you've run out of enemies? Go home, create a new life, build up your marvelous cities in to vast citadels of glory and peace. All of you, really, get a life. >>

Nonchalantly, he nibbles on a fondue in a small jar hanging around his neck as he speaks. Apparently he's grown rather fond of it - This explains why the head cook of Pezano's has grown so wealthy.

<< If Acererak achieves Apotheosis, he will not be our problem any longer. Now, getting his children out of our homes before they break someone? That might be a problem... But Acererak is not a threat. >>

Anabstercorian · Mar 17, 2002

Oh, and Tharizdun disciple.

Anabstercorian looks to the Disciple of Tharizdun. He raises an eyebrow.

<< Your god is dead, massacred on the field of battle by mortals. What do you follow now? The 'abstract concept' of universal oblivion? There are better ways to spend your time, silly little human. The only reason that the world appears so miserable and ultimately flawed to you is because it is not adequately controlled by competent minds. Control is the key to improvement, not oblivion. >>

(Oh, OOC, I had the best game of DnD last night. Watching a 6th level cleric fight off ghouls is like watching someone burn down zombies with a flamethrower. Man, totally cool.)

Tokiwong · Mar 17, 2002

Malachai replies

"I find that rather interesting, since you seem just intrigued enough to make your presence known Anabstercorion. For you too play the games just as well as they, and plot just as furiously. Perhaps is is you that should take your own advice... and perhaps get a life... or possibly a clue..." he smirks and turns, "we have seen enough, and know now the path that Oerth must take."

He waves to his retinue and they are teleported away back to the lands of Iuz....

The Disciple chuckles.

"And of course the person to put in control is you. Nope, no corruption there! Your benignity is self-evident."

She bursts out into laughter at this, then calms down after a moment.

"As for Tharizdun--well, there's dead and there's dead. Tharizdun has been dispelled for a while, but he has not been utterly destroyed--nor can he be until all destruction ceases in the multiverse. If someone with sufficient power wished it, he could be revived--as will happen some day."

She smiles. "After all, when you worship the Lord of Entropy, a certain amount of fatalism is inevitable in one's outlook..."

Tokiwong, Rhialto, emails incoming.

Mr. Draco · Mar 17, 2002

wow, aren't weekends supposed to be the non-slow days?

LordMelkor{Talos} · Mar 17, 2002

Suddenly Ahlissa teleports to conference. The person who accompanies her is no one else than Melf Brightblade, now a Shade, and he smiles maliciously to The Red Elf.

Ahlissa spits in the face of Kalanyr:

-Idiot! You are a disgrace for The Race of Drow! You cannot even keep a secret, for we know about the attack you and and your pathetic allies plan against Anabstecorian! This is how you want peace?! Hipocrites! For Anabstecorian is no treat for you, and he did nothing to provoke your attack!

-Know that Anabstecorian is under protection of Melkor, Lord Of All, and so is Acerak, for he considers them to be worthy! Know that if Acerak or Solistarim are attacked, Elder Ones willl be unleashed upon Oerth! Maybe not now, but IT WILL HAPPEN, few months from now.

Edena, I will send you a revised template.
