(IR) The 3rd IR, Turn 7 (thread 1a)

[GnomeWorks]

Project Pi

I just want to post, Edena, to tell you that Project Pi has been delayed until 9:00pm CST today. Kalanyr, that also affects you.

Kalanyr, I want you to get your half of the research done ASAP. It's imperative that your part is in progress when my science group jumps in and starts helping. Remember to observe carefully what occurs, and when I give the signal, you should stop your labs immediately. It's imperative that you do so - doing otherwise could lead to disastrous results.

Edena, I apologize for the inconvenience, but I have much homework to do and I have to go to church. I will alert you as soon as my part of the research is ready to begin.

[Edena_of_Neith]

As of this point, most of the Powers in the IR have declarations of Attacks and Defenses.

The buildup of 11th level magic is staggering.

It is producing Wild Magic Storms, strange light phoenomenon, and twists in reality in every Crystal Sphere involved.

The room the Peace Conference was held in is still lit, and totally abandoned.
A sad, deathly silence hangs over the place where a future for the Spheres could have been created.

 

[Edena_of_Neith]

Kaboom, noted.

You need not state you are abandoning an Attack publicly - you can e-mail me that you are doing so.

Now that you have called off your Attack, Kaboom, you may not make a new one today.

GnomeWorks, I understand.
Take your time, and I hope your IRL work goes well.

 

[William Ronald]

And so it begins

Here are the things that are being done by my power, all based on the 11th level magic post. As much of these things as possible are done in the first hour of the IR.

In the Great Hall of the Kevellond League, Archcleric Hazen stands. He is standing with Emperor Cho Je Pa-ser of Suhfang, Gwilym Raonul, Lord William Ronald, Fand Dyvyr, Mohgyrthe Old, the elf lord Orran Rilanth of Sterich, and Kuroth Kor, King of Orcreich. (Edena, this is a role playing post. Kuroth has no PLs.)

"So it begins -- the Great War that will shape the future of worlds. I tried to find common ground between feuding factions at the peace conference. I submitted a proposal and no one accepted or offered a strong counter proposal."

"The Kevellond League, Suhfang, the Baklunish-Esmerin Confederation, Erypt, Orcreich, and our allies are merging into a single nation -- the United Federation of Oerth. We will have a democratic republic, with guaranteed civil liberties. Each member state keeps their own leadership." Hazen says to the reporters.

"I will remain Emperor of Suhfang," says Cho-Je Paser of Suhfang. 'We will have a local parliament as well. We believe that the people have good judgement and should run their affairs. However, we are preserving our own unique cultures."

Orran Rilanth steps up to the microphone. On his vest is a sight that will shock some people -- the Iron Fist of Orcreich.

"I fought and died in Orcreich when the Red Armada invaded. I instructed the people of that land, my friends, how to build Oerthblood weapons. When I was resurrected, the King of Orcreich declared me a brother and gave me the highest medal in his lands. I respect their beliefs, and they respect mine."

King Kuroth steps forward. "Because of the new technology, we can farm our fields better, and build better weapons and tools. We have freed our slaves, and given them land. We will live in peace with our neighbors. We will honor Gruumsh, but we will not hate those who died fighting to save our people. Perhaps in time, all peoples will live in peace and friendship."

"Besides," Kuroth says smiling broadly and wrapping a huge arm around Orrin's shoulder. "Anyone who fights as fiercely as this elf deserves my respect."

"What are our values? We have used healing spells to clean as much of the Red Waste in our lands to the best of our ability," Hazen says. (This has been done over several turns.)

"We believe all peoples have the right to make their own destiny and live in freedom and peace with their brothers. We believe we are all members of the great family of being. Regardless of who you are, we wish you well."

"We can resist the Dark Powers even in the midst of this war. We will not fight with hate in our hearts, but determination."

"May peace, freedom, justice, and compassion become the norm in all worlds. We wish you well."

OOC: It has been stated that 11th level magic will be needed to clean the Red Goo. I have tried to be a force for peace and moderation, but I don't think it worked. I did encourage peaceful protest against corrupt regimes, but it was a bit too late by them

 

[William Ronald]

Hazen will answer any quesions by the press. After the questions, he will speak to the press.

"I have tried to be a force for moderation and reason. I have treated the peoples of this world and other worlds with respect."

"I ask that everyone to try to reconcile with their neighbors. We are at war. However, we can spread peace amongst one another. I have evacuated civilians to places of relative safety."

"I would ask that the people of Oerth and Toril pray for the well being of Forrester and President Lesage. I hope that they shall return, and help bring peace. I wish the people of the United Commonwealth well in this time of war. I wish the people of Mystara, Athas, Toril, Krynn and Oerth well."

"What unites us is far more important than what divides us. Perhaps I have failed to adequately express this ideal. I must claim some part in the current state of affairs."

"May Rao and all the powers of good, light, life, justice, and freedom bless the people of all the worlds. May we build a future worthy of our posterity. I pray that the future will forgive us our mistakes."

"I may have been given form and powers like to an Angel, but at my heart I am a mortal man. I am flawed, imperfect. Yet even an imperfect man such as myself can seek to become more than has been in wisdom and goodness. Each of us has this power. It is the weaponry that will defeat the Dark Powers. If we choose."

11th level magic actions

Geysers of pure Oerthblood gush forth from the rocks of Dragon isle and on the Celestial Plains. They roar to the heavens and dissipate as they touch the air, spreading out across miles a healing mist that rejuvinates the land and air. (Action 1)

The church of Toril oversees a mass-production of Oerth Blood weapons. Forged in an instant, coming whole from the earth, newly formed blades, bullets, and shells are created. All are given the power to cast heal and cure wounds on contact if the user wishes such. The weapons are teleported to all the nations of the Oerth Alliance as quickly as they are being made. Among the weapons are bombs that hurl Oerth Blood in a wide radius upon impact. (Action 2)

A collection of mages, on the behalf of the Lendore Isles, give the power of shapechange and awaken (as per the spell) the entire species of Dolphins. An underwater city of self-contained air and a permenent portal to the city are created for them. The Sunrise alliance offers them our full protection. (Actions 3 + 4)

Edena, how long would it take to create a new star near Oerth? If I did it in stages and had it built through allotments of quick or minute-long 11th level magic? I do not do this action. For now, I merely speculate.

Thank you.

[Anabstercorian]

Statements of Action and Intent

Edena, as much as I appreciate the offer, I must turn down the True Staff of Ancient Penumbra. I'll try and find it on my own.

====

What am I doing with 11th level magic quickly?

"You can project visions of other realities to a subject creature (such as showing a slave what freedom means), and that subject creature will instantly understand your point of view, with possible changes of alignment and personality." (All those who accepted my offer of ceremorphosis now know EXACTLY what it means to be Illithid, and what it means to be Postillithid, as I'm dubbing the new species. The illithid of the Army of Darkness are shown why I'm doing what I'm doing as well, in addition to all of the Neoillithid intellectuals of Toril.)

"You can bring sustenance (rain, enriching the soil, etc.) to the natural ecosystem over an area the size of Bissel."
"You can undo the environmental damage of technological inventions, over an area the size of Furyondy. "
"You can immediately begin growing a forest." (Setting up a self-contained eco-system on the Penumbral Hub.)

"You can summon the Avatar of any God (although it may not choose to stay, and it might be very unhappy with you.)" (I call on Ilsensine to aid me in the construction of the Penumbral Hub, so that the seat of the next Illithid empire would be more to his liking.)

"You can grant yourself and your mages psionic abilities (you gain all the psionic classes), and your Power increases in PL by 50.
You can begin casting psionic enchantments." (WHAM. Every illithid in my army now has the feat Merciless Mind Blast of Screaming Agony.)

"You can break an 11th level enchantment upon one creature (1 in 2 chance.)" (I'd like to try and ward against this sort of effect on Mordenkainen.)

Additionally, I'm going to set up enormous wards around the Penumbral Hub to protect against 10th level and lower assaults, including things such as teleported nuclear attacks.
