(4th IR) What does your character write?

[Edena_of_Neith]

TO FORRESTER

Welcome Forrester, my friend!

Heh. You do not wish to be sucked into the IR?
Don't worry ... I'm not getting any responses anyways. My poor IR seems to be dying!

In any case, the gnomes MOST CERTAINLY approach your character (assuming you have one), Forrester.

In YOUR case, the gnomes make the offer, and like with Anabstercorian wish nothing at all in return.

In fact, Forrester, in your case LANTAN is offering to sponsor you (defecting from who it is currently sponsoring) if you will only choose to write for them.
The gnomes really do like you, Forrester.

You could also obtain sponsorship from King Obold and the Orcs of the North, the Goblins of the North, the Orcs of the Moonsea, the Goblins of the Moonsea, and the Humanoids of the Underdark (PL 3 due to a total lack of cooperation, but that PL would skyrocket if they united.)

Merriam smiles as her book gets printed off, "And this is only the beginning." Wrapping a white cloak around herself, she hurries off back to her home, a modest sized building.

Upon entering, she quietly closes the door behind her and forgets everything else-she simply begins to start writing the notes for her next work, <<Shackles of the Gods>> As the voice instructedher, she dumbly nodded.


Edit-
William Ronald-Thanks for pointing that out, I didn't get that fact-heh, I suppose my character's first writing was either more fictitious, or whatever Edena deems would be appropriate (similar to the idea overall).

 

[Bugbear]

And in both your cases, the gnomes state that if you say no, you will remember nothing of the conversation (Serpenteye is the only exception so far to this rule.)

Do we receve a saving throw against this effect?

 

[Edena_of_Neith]

TO SOLLIR

Sollir, the gnomes approach your eccentric lady writer.
They offer the same thing as per above to her.

They want her to denounce magic. Denounce Mystra. Denounce Shar.
Magic is a fraud. Magic, is wicked. Magic, has put power in the hands of an insane elite. Magic is the yoke of slavery for the entire world.
If Magic were gone, a new golden age could be ushered in by the gnomes with their machines and inventions.
Gnomish inventions could be the Godsend of an easy life. Gnomish inventions, could raise the common man to the level of Kings. Gnomish inventions, could cure all illness, end all social ills, and bring justice and peace to the world.
If only the wicked mages were eradicated, and those idiots who support them and lick their feet, the gnomes (and perhaps the dwarves too) could build a paradise.

Again, if your character says yes, she gains the gnomish aid.
If she says no, she remembers nothing of the conversation.

FROM BUGBEAR

Do we receve a saving throw against this effect? (reference to not being able to remember the gnomish offer.)

THE ANSWER

Of course.
I assume you make your save, too.

This does not mean, however, that people are suddenly going to believe you if you run around screaming that the gnomes are trying to take over the world.
The gnomes ... who are they? Oh, those little folk out on Lantan Isle? THEY are going to take over the world??? HAHAHA!!!

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

Mirriam puts down her quill as the gnome enters the door, sensing something powerful about him...

"If I simply must include that as an occuring and running theme in my works, along with my newest topic: I will agree to your bargain, mighty one."

 

[Edena_of_Neith]

Sollir accepts the offer

Done!

Sollir is the first to accept the Gnomish offer.

Remember, Sollir, that you are under Geas (no save) to keep to your end of the agreement. You must badmouth magic and mages.

Now, be careful what you say, Sollir ... for people are going to believe every word you write ...

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

Mirriam smiles and cradles herself in both arms once the gnome leaves, the enormous feeling of irony and laughter almost overcoming her.

Don't...ever...bargain with a devil...You'll get just what you asked for...

Mirriam goes back to writing, her speed almost doubling since her last book.

OOC-I'll be careful, Edena

 

[Bugbear]

Hannover Fist looks hard at the little, prevaricating gnome that stands before him. He considers carefully his next words, while at the same time trying to burn the memory of the gnomes face and his message into his mind.

"Gnome, I find your words to be offensive, in the extreme! You come to me asking that I spread your LIES of gnomish superiority! I have allways sought the truth, have allways shared the truth.

If gnomes were a superior race, you would not need a magic printing press to rule Faerun, your nature would carry your people to the thrones of nations. But this is clearly not the case, as your people rule no lands, not even Lantan Isle.

If Gond the Wonderbringer was the god who best suited the need of the masses, his temples would be overflowing with worshipers. But this is clearly not the case, as Gond is but a minor deity, who give little back to his flock.

Therefore, I must decline your "fair offer." Pray that I indeed do forget this conversation.

Now be gone!

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

OOC-Ironically, I'm going to church right now, but I'll give Mirriam's work as soon as I can after it should prove interesting.
