(IR) The 3rd IR, Turn 6 (thread 4)

New thread, but I would seriously recommend you go back and read pages 4 and 5 of the preceeding thread.

What I said there, and what others have said, is very important relevant to the IR and your situation.

Iuz continues to enjoy himself... at the festivities

OOC: Edena any thoughts to my secret actions... and the Email I sent I hope I have not gone over my limit... and you are doing cool stuff keep it up

Anabstercorian looks down at the sleek black surface of Luna and smiles. It took a long time, but he has sealed it away. The Red Goo of Luna will starve in time.

As Aurican applies his magics to cleansing a pond in northern Ishtarland, removing the slime and blood and restoring it to it's former beauty, word reaches him of the appearance of Iuz, Melkor, and their slaves at the party. At once, he leaves for the party to order his people to leave. However, he arrives too late - all of the peoples of the Crescent have already left of their own volition, refusing to take part in any of the sadism displayed by the partycrashers. Aurican then approaches Iuz.

"I'm in want of time at the moment, so I'll keep this simple. I want you to release your concubines. If you do not wish to do so, I will buy them from you."

Edena: Even though I bet I could penetrate Luna's new armor, I won't. In fact, if Anab needs any help sealing Luna off, I'll help him. I don't know how to form Substare (unless he teachs me - I'm a fast learner), but I will put up force walls laced with Positive Energy and/or Oerthsblood; again, only if he needs help. I want to prevent the spread of the goo. I'll also keeep my eye on Luna; if someone or something tries to break through the shell, I want to know as soon as it happens.

edit: Before I leave, with or without those slaves, I'll stay for a Tarrasque ride. Wee!

Yoink!

"Free to go as I please, eh? Very well, then. I'll take them all. Sorry if I seem greedy; its simply part of my nature to hoard things."

The slaves are rounded up and escorted away from the party and brought to one of my lairs to please me. By the way, what pleases me is seeing them fed, cared for, and seeing them do as they please. ("Cared for" includes the breaking of any mental coersion or brainwashing previously placed on them; I ask Kalanyr and Siobahn for help if I'm in over my head in deprogramming them.)

Hey all. Just woke up and catching up on the board. Nice to see the destruction on Oerth has not gotten much worse. I had doubts there would be a planet left by the time I got back. And Ana...no offense but by now it seems well established we can't destroy the red goo with destruction. Um..so to speak.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
To Melkor,
Hmm..concubine...would Kalanyr count as a concubine? Hm... More seriously, Siobha has no kids yet and her SO is well known.

Now..as for Kalanyr, he -better- not have a concubine...=) (Edena Note: This is just me kidding.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
To Edena:

Fear? Done out of fear?? Ha! Siobhan doesn't know the meaing of fear!

Morre: Fear, transitive senses, to be afraid of : expect with alarm

Siobhan : Oh crap.

More seriously, I see the points on our little love fest. But you don't just flip a switch and decide to be loving and forgiving. It's an environment you cultivate. I don't consider this a fight against the DM, but it is a fight against the Red Goo. And ultimately that seems to be the same as a fight against nilhistic violence, hatred and fear. the key to that is fostering love and peace. And..after my sleep it also comes to mind, most of all, we need hope. None of us will benefit by the red goo winning, we'll simply all eventually lose control of our characters from the sound of it. This doesn't seem like a penalty against evil, but it could be a hint the Red Goo ultimately has no allies. Just my personal thoughts though.

Lawful pray, fun and fae party was just a joke really, everyone is free to take their own route on this. And freedom is something I'll return to in a short time.

Please note: Anyone is welcome to the party. and we certainly hope some of the sides of good will show up. This is a valuable time for networking if nothing else.

And in that vein (and remember, that next freedom thing is coming up as well).

For Anabscorian:

Brightly clad in silks, Siobhan floats over to say 'Hi.' and a little more "I'd appreciate it if you could pass this message along to Forrester. I understand you are trying to 'cleanse' the Red Goo. But that can't be done by sacrificing the Oerth or it's moons. Sunstuff or whatever it's called can't do it. It will take peace and a change in the world. A hope there is something more than the Red Goo destroying the planet or someone else doing it to try and destroy the red goo. I'm going to be trying to put together a peace conference. A chance for us to talk out our differences and perhaps reach some measure of understanding and hope. I hope you will attend. And..um..if you don't mind me asking, Sir. Are you a sir? I don't know much about illithids, I'm not even sure why you would show up to revels, is it just the good vibes or something? no offense, i'm just curious.

For Iuz:

Brightly clad in silks Siobhan floats over, giving a little bow and a smile "Greetings Iuz the Mighty. I'm pleased to see you've arrived, I do believe we have a little to talk about. I'm trying to promote the idea of a peace conference, I hope you will attend. I know you are allied with the red goo. But you have always been practical. I hope you can see that ultimately the Red Goo is 'allied' only to itself. It's to all of our benefits for it not to take over the world. We're fast reaching a point where it's too late. I hope you will give my words some thought and consideration. And while we are chatting, I'd like to thank you for bringing the firelanders. I know you understand the Seelie have always stood for personal freedom. Here there are no slaves, all are free. Your gesture in freeing those pleasure slaves is a grand one and much appreciated. I'll let them know they are free to choose where they wish to go, and even to stay here after the revels if they so choose. I will await your answer on the peace conference, Might Iuz.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Am I the only one thinking Iuz must sound like ooze, so it's no shock he's allied with the red ooze? Just a passing random though. Siobhan will be letting the pleasure 'slaves' know they are free, explaining what that is if needed.
--------------------------------------------------------------
More to follow soon.

Iuz pauses, "I said not all... leave half..." his eyes glimmer... Iuz replies to BlackOmega, "I shall make it a point to make an appearance at this peace conferance..."

OOC: Iuz will only allow Uvenlai to take half of the concubines

For Melkor:

Siobhan floats over, clad in her bright silks. A slight nod and a dazzling smile for him "Welcome to the party, I hope you are enjoying yourself. I've been going around chatting with people about the idea of a peace conference. A way for us to get together and perhaps forge something stronger than the red goo. Perhaps this sounds silly to you. I've been observing your actions and I admit I'm a bit confused. It doesn't seem to me the Red Goo knows what the meaning of 'ally' is. It devours all. What is it you want, Melkor? What is it you are trying to accomplish? I'm truly curious. You are welcome to attend or send someone to attend the peace conference. The time for warfare is past.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
For Alyx and William...um..the Red Elf and Hazen
Siobhan floats on over, brightly clad though looking sorrowful. This conversation shielded from others with 10th level magic.
"You've felt it, I assume. The changes. What is going on. I can imagine what you think of the revels. It's not fully unjustified. But we need something more than war. I'm putting together a peace conference, I hope you both will attend. We need understanding in these times. We need peace. More than anything, we need hope. Hope that our future is not simply which side or faction destroys the world, for whatever reason they might profess at the time. I'm not giving up on this world. I hope you are not either."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
My apologies if I missed anyone at the revels, by the way. It's a busy place and Siobhan is only one fae.

Messages will be sent out to every faction we can find, either through high level magic or low cunning and everything in between. We're letting people know about the peace conference. It will be held in Vesve (it's a good central location). It's a peace conference, so no eating or sacrificing delegates will be allowed. The message is simple and straight forward. Either we have peace and hope, or the world dies. No one will win by violence now.

ooc:

Black Omega I might not be a good example in many way but netherless one of the last places to get red goo is Anakeris, for several reasons, I been constructive rather the destructive all the time in what I do, and that of the many reasons one could claim is the most important.

My attempts is not about pretend all perfect love fest to equal the new Toril, but simply taking care of those little things that in the big pictture matters... the thousands that are without home cannot use a love fest for shelter, care for them. The thousands that are dying of hunger cannot fed on the love fest, care for them. And so on. I think it will work remarkably better though most likely slower.

You had your fun and wars now it is time to clean up the mess and make overall the world a better place not my creating an artificial love, but improving things mending the wounds and let things return to peaceful and prosperous (but not too much so) conditions.
