We, the people of the Lortmils, have decided something.
We're screwed.
But that's okay. We're not going to go down without a fight. We can handle Vecna. We can at least cripple him, anyway.
We retreat into the Lortmils, into the homeland. Kessel himself will go out into the battle, preparing all sorts of maximized combat spells and powers, and praying that whatever deity is watching him up there helps out, even if it's just a little bit. Everyone in the Lortmils is being pressed into service - either to fight Vecna, or (the smarter ones) being assigned to rapid technological warfare research.
Those really small iron golems? We'll start fashioning them so that they can be fired from our weaponry. We start arming them with magic missiles, or vials of nitroglycerin made magically stable until impact, or something. We'll arm them with stuff that will be capable of taking out an adequate radius, preferably in an explosive or spectacular manner. We'll try to command these to aim for the leaders in their ranks (ones that can be hurt - ie, not Vecna), but if they hit anything that is an enemy, I'm okay with it, but leaders before normal troops would be prefered.
We'll also try levitating tanks and such, see how that works. We'll begin working on planes armed to the teeth, but not bogged down with so much that they can't fly, augmenting their flight with fly spells if necessary.
We pull out all the stops, Edena. Everything we've got, tested or not, it's going at Vecna's troops. No matter the cost, he must be stopped.
