Their aid, and their knowlege is more than welcome.

Have the gnomes determined the long term effects of the anti-magic plauge they developed?

Misha will agree to this as well as a temporary measure to the problem at hand, until a more permanent solution can be found, for the elves live in a world of magic... Evermeet will work with the scientists of Earth to find a technological solution for the Red Death, enlisting our gnomes to help.

(Way, way, way... way too over the top. Why Edena? Why do you have to complicate this sooo far...)

FROM EDENA

(genuine look of hurt feelings)

I do my best. That is all I can do.
This is an IR. I am putting the Industrial, into the IR ... the creators of the Forgotten Realms Setting very throughly industrial revolution-proofed the setting. I have worked hard to create a believable story in which that proofing was overcome.

POSTED BY CREAMSTEAK

Gustav will deal with it as any leader should, he will send envoys of diplomacy, encourage public sanitation programs, produce doctors of both magical and mundane means through field training, and begin the contruction of magical and mundane research for counter-measures for the problems.

FROM EDENA

Unfortunately, medieval thinking and methods are no match for chickenpox, not when chickenpox is 50% lethal.
The clerics of Imaskari, concentrate an all out assault on the illness, using all their combined magic to stop it. That, and the fact that Imaskari is under a strong leader (Gustav) saves most of the people of Imaskari.

The Dark Crusaders are driven out of all the lands of Imaskari.
The Dark Crusaders, are beset by the chickenpox themselves, and they are having new problems ... many of their Fiends are mysteriously going out of control, and turning into mindless killers - who immediately attack their fellows.

The Silver Cabal offers it's aid to Imaskari.
Louis Pasteur talks to your emissaries, Creamsteak (see my post above.)

BUGBEAR POSTED

Then they have to go to the quarentine camps, sorry. Perhaps they can help find a cure.

FROM EDENA

The Chosen are not ill from chickenpox.
The Chosen, are ill from something else that is not a disease. Their behavior is considerably less rational than it was, they are prone to violence and fits, and are increasingly talking about things Chosen would not discuss: the need for world domination, the joy of using destructive magic, the need to dominate using magic, the need for magic to be held in the hands of the elite.

FROM BUGBEAR

The Dauntless (I guess I speak for them now?) reply that this was not an intentional attack against there worlds. They point out that Toril is suffering from the red death as well.

TO THE ENTIRE IR

If everyone agrees to this, I wish to make Bugbear the person in control of the Dauntless.
His character is held in high esteem already, and with the new crisis the Dauntless want his character as their High Speaker (which will end in his character being their effective ruler.)

I request that someone take control of the Nations of Krynn.
This can be anyone in the IR who does not already control a power.

BUGBEAR POSTED:

Same ansewer as above ((reference to the powers of Oerth))

FROM EDENA

I request someone take control of the Powers of Oerth.
This must be someone who will be hostile to Toril.
Thus, my request is aimed at: Mr. Draco, Inez, Forsaken One, and Melkor.

BUGBEAR POSTED:

where do the athasians gain terretory? We send emesaries to them asking for a cease-fire and councel. ((reference to the onslaught from Athas))

FROM EDENA

Here and there, across Toril.
They do not negotiate. They KILL everyone they encounter. They savage the land as they come.

I request someone extremely hostile to Toril take up control of the Athasians.
Melkor, or Forsaken One, would do nicely.

BUGBEAR POSTED:

okay, here goes

1> Opening trade between our worlds, those who have an aptitude for magick may learn it.
We ask that those of us who have an aptitude for earths technology and sciences be allowed to learn as well.
2> We want a cure for the diseases ravaging the worlds of Krynn, Toril, Athas, and Oreth. If they don't have a cure, we willl ask there aid in finding one. Also, any information that thay have concerning the entity which came to our world through the gnomish gate.

FROM EDENA

Earth is still agog at the Torilians.
Due to the anarchy on Toril, trade is going to be difficult, but many nations on Earth agree to it.

The most important development is the offer of the Silver Cabal, which is made to EVERY power (including yours, Serpenteye) on Toril.

TOKIWONG POSTED

Misha speaks for the Dauntless as well...

FROM EDENA

I would have no problem with Tokiwong and Bugbear, dividing control of the Dauntless as they see fit.

I need someone to take control of the Free Nations of Faerun.
Unless someone objects, I would like this person to be William.
Or, control of the Free Nations could be split amongst those interested.

MR DRACO POSTED:

Edena, is there any more ability (held by the Dauntless or the Free Nations) to produce more of the gnomish domination books?

FROM EDENA

Mr. Draco, you can now produce your own Books of Domination.
The Dauntless and the Free Nations are probably able to produce their own as well, although it is unlikely they will do so.
Nobody is producing Gnomish Books of Domination anymore, since Bugbear's Antidote got out.

SOLLIR POSTED:


The ambassadors of the Dark Crusaders immediately take advantage of the situation, passing out Mirriam's books of "Flame and Pyre", -Domination Magick or not-This is a way for people to prevent themselves from being infected by disease and a cure for those who don't wish to be supported by the godlings who charge for their efforts. These books are handed out for free and passed onwards to others to share.
More of the Dark Crusaders and worshippers of the fiends transform into fiends...in the case that the domination magick would break, they would still be bonded to devils...
Meanwhile, Mirriam rests...and somewhere, some part of her inside of her cries and laments at what she has done.

FROM EDENA

Noted.
The Dark Crusaders are reeling from Bugbear's Antidote, but you are producing new Fiends.
Unfortunately, many of them are mysteriously going out of control, and attacking everyone at random.
Others, are joining your ranks as you intended.

Gustav, with all of this happening in a matter of minutes, starts to go a bit insane. Not only is he dehumanizing the enemy, but he's dehumanizing himself, the circumstance, and his allies. He goes out to speak a few times, trying not to be whelmed by the speed of the times, he states, "Your all pretty much hopeless. Apparently nobody can do anything. Well, that's it. Have your fun. Enjoy yourselves. Nothings going to come of any of this."

He then goes to speak to all of the leaders on Toril, and states, "We all agree then that we are going to work against this disease rather than each other right? No need to be fighting about petty things, like good and evil, when the entire universe is doomed."
 

At the next moment, Gustav requests a private meeting with mister Pasteur. He states, "Hello, good sir."

He welcomes him in, and then asks, "So, are you ready to die?"

He waits to see what Pasteur's reaction is to his words.

"I have this crazy theory that your not what you seem."

He waits to see what Pasteur's reaction is to his words.

"I think you've brought the problem..."

And Gustav waits again... waiting for the answer to base his decision on...

(Yes, I do have a big overly sized plan going on in my head.)

FROM EDENA

Does anyone else accept the help of the Silver Cabal?
They are offering their help to everyone.

FROM BUGBEAR

Also...

Have the gnomes determined the long term effects of the anti-magic plauge they developed?

TO BUGBEAR AND EVERYONE IN THE IR - IMPORTANT

The Enlightened Gnomes state that the unleashing of their Contagious Anti-Magic could ultimately halt all magic use on the world of Toril.

FROM EDENA

Louis Pasteur looks at Gustav in shock.
He stammers: 'I am not the problem. Who are you, to say this of me? Who ... are ... you?'
Pasteur, looks like he is ready to turn and run (since nobody else is present at this particular moment, Gustav could easily kill him.)

A voice whispers in Gustav's head ... perhaps it is Gustav's inner voice itself ...

'Kill him. He is an enemy. He will destroy Imaskari and all of Toril. He will kill you. Kill him before it is too late. Kill him. Kill him. Kill him ...'
 

Gus hasn't ever had to deal with this kind of thing before. Here's his thoughts in a flash...

1) This man is a fake, he doesn't make any sense, he wants to remove magic from toril, thereby weakening us...

2) He does offer kindness, but I don't think his efforts make any sense if he wants us to remove magic, but has it of his own...

3) He shouldn't be killed, not just yet...

So this is what Gustav does... he grabs Pasteur by the shirt collar, or coat colloar, or hair, or neck. He holds the man, and calls for him to be teleported back to Toril, for a trial. He will be held in an appropriate prison for the time being, inside Immeriski.

"This nation has protection from gods, I think that we need to look at this mans intents."


He holds a caucuss, and asks this man if his plan is to destroy Toril, so that it can be rebuilt. He threatens this man with his life. He charges this man with bringing about death everywhere. Gustav, even in his own mind knows that he is the false accuser, but he doesn't relent. He finally, after whatever trials ends, sends the man to the executioners grounds, charging him with treason of an unknown kind.

But Gustav won't kill him, no, not at all, he interrogates, judges, and threatens, and acts like a complete ass... then states,

"No no, I'm just testing you. You sir, are key to the plot. I won't be the fool to kill you. If I do, the same things will still happen. Instead, I'll hand you over to the least likely man to ever harm another out of malice."

Gustav has Louis sent to Ardan. Ardan will have to deal with him. Whatever knowledge made by the interrogation will have been important.

(Note, if at any time Louis shape shifts or turns out to be an evil shadow creature, I kill him despite what I want to do in the post. Big plans... but they need to be handled in phases. Just so long as this is what Gustav thinks it is, he won't actually harm the man in any way, other than possibly causing him humiliation with the trial.)
 

<<Wake up...Wake up Mirriam, wake up you weak, pathetic-fool>>

Words of spite and malice issue out of Mirriam's fiendish assaultent as she awakes with a burst. "I must find the cause of this anarchy! These fools, what have they done!"

Mirriam personally investigates to see what is bringing the Fiends out of order, wrapping around a black silk-woven cloak around her neck, she exits her abode and walks out into the worn torn area without flinching at the destruction around her.

Polymorphed Devils are sent to Earth to tempt poor souls and issue forth a new generation of Fiends there as well...

Gawd, Edena, the 4th IR has only been going on for four days, and already you've managed to make every major world in the multiverse, including Earth, into powderkegs waiting to go off.

I'm impressed. :)

I won't be playing in this one; already it seems as complicated as the 3rd IR was at its height. However, I will follow it (as well as I can), and I don't want to be completely left out of it, so...


With the coming of the printing press and the mass distribution of books, Milo Terrywheather writes what any respectable, adventuring halfling would: cookbooks. No rhetoric, no socio-politico-economic theories, no domination magic, just the incredible marvel that is bacon.

Coming Soon - The first in a series on off-world cuisine: The Food of the Earth Nation of Italy. I think it'll be a big hit.
