(4th IR) What does your character write?

[Edena_of_Neith]

Ok, guys, you have a serious problem.

Queen Amlaruil will NOT allow non-elves on Evermeet ... MUCH LESS gnomes who might be in league with Lantan.
Evereska has never allowed non-elves in.
The elves of Toril have always been like this, and they aren't changing.

The Faerie could take the gnomes in ... but the Faerie are suspicious of them, and the Faerie request someone else take them in.

The halflings of Luirien state their realm is threatened (they are quite right) by both the Meritocracy and the Alliance of the Phoenix, and if they take in the gnomes they will be destroyed.

The Metallic Dragons could house the gnomes in their lairs ... the Metallic Dragons think that is a totally unreasonable proposal, since there is lodging aplenty elsewhere.
The Gem Dragons, simply will not allow it, stating their homes are secret and they do not want a large number of strangers (and possible thieves) in them.

The dwarves state they are in over their heads.
The Dark Crusaders are threatening them.
The Meritocracy are threatening them.
The Orcs, are threatening them.
The Alliance of the Phoenix is threatening them.
The Imaskari Empire is threatening them.
The phaerimm, are threatening them.
And now, you want them to bring the wrath of Lantan down on them also, when Evermeet is sitting OUT THERE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OCEAN, SAFE AND SECURE?!
The poor dwarves, are right in the middle of the trouble, and you want them to take in the gnomes???
LOLOL!

Everyone in the Dauntless, wants everyone else in the Dauntless, to take in the Gnomes.

And if someone doesn't resolve this matter, it is likely these gnomes will end their offer to the Dauntless, and join the Free Nations of Faerun instead, or perhaps some other power ...

Now, Queen Amlaruil of Evermeet is a very influencial person, and a very powerful person.
Her word is law among the elves, and she is influencial among the faerie.
If she agreed to take in the gnomes, the problem would be solved.
But Queen Amlaruil is stubborn, and Evermeet has never allowed non-elves in. Why should it do so now?

I am wondering, what you authors have to say to Queen Amlaruil regarding this situation ...

Misha stands against these tomes... in all their guises... and denounces Gustav for his reckless use of such tomes, even for a good measure to usurp control... Misha is horrified by such a creation and will bring such news to the people in several tomes denouncing the these books as tools of damnation... they must be destroyed... He burns gnomish books, destroys printing presses... he wages war against the gnomes of Lanatan.. and urges the Dauntless to join as well...

Gustav remarks, "They don't have to trigger the spell. I just need these particular lieutenants fully informed on my take on strategy."

He readies a plan. He uses scrying mages to identify the positions of every enemy portal and supply point, counting up the numbers, and figuring out how many mages must be in count for this. He states right off, "I'm going to stop their numbers now, then crush them outright. If your going to help, then follow my lead. If your going to get in the way, then I recommend you sit down and think about what your doing, because I already have. As soon as I've confirmed the positions of my enemies portals and gateways, I'm cutting them now before they become a problem."

How many gnomes are we talking about here, Edena?

"If you simply seek to inform then you have me as an ally... Gustav... my blade, my stalwart arrow... and my faith will fight by your side... and crush the threat here and now... shall we work together?" Misha replies.

The poor dwarves, are right in the middle of the trouble, and you want them to take in the gnomes???

The Dwarves are invited to join with my cause. Their leaders are some of the greatest warriors around, and I invite them as my friends to aid me on my quick-counter-strike against the enemy. I'm not stopping till I identify every location, and quickly mortar the hell out of it with either concentrated meteor strikes, or hand to hand with special hero infantry units. If I have to take the portals down one at a time myself, I'll do it. If I have to single out each and every mage, I'll do it. Magic can be detected, I'm going to find these things and rip them apart now. I'm angry that they are even thinking of being so audacious...

If my sponsors choose to support my cause, so be it. If they don't I'm going all alone, but not stupidly. My friends and I can deal with this problem now, before the ignorance of many mages causes another catastrophic delayed war or divine intervention...

"Hmm, we should investigate why the intelligence altering effects vary so much per race, because it doesn't bring them to the same average.

"I think this information is not to be divulged until we find a Counterspell."

"Misha, the books used by Gustaf were not mind-influencing. We need a strong army to face the Dark Crusaders, which are our most dangerous enemy at the present time. Please trust the Chosen to watch upon Lantan until this crisis has passed. We need your sword in another battle. The very forces of hell are threatening the population."

Gustav's triumph

TO CREAMSTEAK

Congratulations, Creamsteak.

Gustav is already a great hero in Mulhorand.
In fact, thanks to the Gnomish magic, he is considered almost legendary.
It is a simple matter to gain the support of the 16 generals.
After that, the people of Mulhorand demand Gustav be made leader of the country.
When the government says no, an uprising occurs, the military revolts, and ...

Gustav is the new ruler of Mulhorand!

The Damari recognize Gustav immediately, for his name has spread far and wide in renown.

With Gustav as leader, and with his books on military strategy and tactics, the Mulhorandi finally succeed in driving the Dark Crusaders from their country.

Lantan sends it's congratulations to Gustav and Imaskari.
Lantan then asks Gustav what other books he would like to purchase from them?

"If you simply seek to inform then you have me as an ally... Gustav... my blade, my stalwart arrow... and my faith will fight by your side... and crush the threat here and now... shall we work together?" Misha replies.

Gus, already in his abnormally supernaturally heavy armor, looks at Misha and states, "Exquisite. I'm with you then. Do you conqur with my plan? Stop the summons first, then Isolate the enemy? I need more mages as well, to identify and position the enemy locations, and to concentrate and coordinate magic strikes. If I can stop them from recieving support now, then we can really do some damage the same way they were planning on attacking us."

"I concur, we act now to crush this threat, remove their ability to summon more infernal creatures, then eradicate the knowledge permanently... a premeptive strike orks well in our favor, perhaps even a strike deep into their lands to prove they are not safe from our blade no matter where they wish to hide..." Misha replied.
