[Epic] Scions of the Endless Falls

[Zack2216]

Su'ryuu, Half red dragon Wilder

You are lucky I do not split you in two, peon. "Alright, agreed. I do believe you know where the plain once was, so I will leave you to prepare what is needed. I will inform my, colleagues, of your coming, lest they destroy you utterly on sight." Su'ryuu tells the major domo before she plane shifts back to the Endless Falls.

Once back in Endless Falls, Su'ryuu will report her findings to those assembled, including the possible aid of Tiamat if we offer her the essence of the god of power, aswell as where we can find the god's domain.

 

[Ferrix]

Sigrún smiles and muses to himself "the creative mind at it's finest." Perhaps though the smile is also in response to the warmth offered by the dryad, but little does it matter when Su'Ryuu returns and spreads news of her visit to Tiamat and the Gith Queen. Fleeting like the morning dew, the smile is gone. His gaze responds to Su'Ryuu with a coldness uncommon to his warmer features, "I do not imagine the land you proffered up to Tiamat was your own, not to speak of the resignation I do imagine most of our companions will have of dealing with her on its own, as well as slaying a god," he says glibly, a sharp mirth to the tone. "And the queen of the githyanki is no innocent waif in any case, we should watch her 'emissaries' closely."

OOC: - That's fine Isida, I can only apply two metapsionic abilities to a single power at once though due to the requirement of expending focus. Was just trying to max/min the effect/XP cost ratio. - Knowledge (psionics) 53 - to see what I can gather from my memory about the Githyanki and how they would be interested in all of this. - A week passes for me to fully manifest Genesis, so I should be about on the same timeline as everyone who travelled away.

OOC: Rahveon, the other's interviews probably did not take as long as our actions. We still could leave for the Court of Stars and return at the same time as they do. Still interested? If so, Caira with open up the gate.

Caira's mirth quickly disappears after Su'ryuu's annoucements. "We are not here to start a war against the Three. Su'ryuu, your allies are questionable in their motives at best. You had best tread carefully."

Su'ryuu, Half red dragon Wilder

OOC: Hey guys, just got back from an out of town thanksgiving. Hope everyone had a good weekend.

IC: "If one wants to gain anything, then one sometimes have to give something in return. Besides, the Gith Queen hasn't even declared that she will help, and I doubt we will have any trouble slaying any mere magicians that come to inspect the plaine, should we not want them there."

 

[Wrahn]

(OOC: perivas, let's hold off for the moment and consolidate the information we have. While I am interested to see Isida's version of the Court of Stars, we can wait on the celestial tourism until it become necessary, in the interest of the story)

*Rahveon is has a look of amazement as life starts to reappear in the world.*

Wow, I thought the creation of life was beyond mortal magics.

Maybe it is...

*When Su'ryuu returns with her news, Rahveon's great wings spread, obviously agitated.*

"Are you insane?"

"Have your dreams of conquest rotted your mind? Tiamat is a goddess of Evil. Does that not mean anything to you? She is power hungry enough to want everything, arrogant enough to believe she can take it and wily enough to do it."

"How long will it take for Bahamut to figure out what is going on and send agents to stop us. He can not allow us to make Tiamat stronger than she already is."

"You have embroiled us in a conflict as old as him." Rahveon points at Sigrun. "And the Gith queen is coming here to "inspect" the land? Did you invite any Demon princes while you were at it?"

"We need to send someone to talk to Bahamut and explain our position. Solarian, I think you are the one he is most likely to listen to. He may even offer support in our goal if only to prevent Tiamat from gaining an advantage."

"As for the rest of us, I think we should probably prepare ourselves, I doubt very much the Gith Queen's visit is going to end peacefully."

 

[Ferrix]

Sigrún laughs heartily to Rahveon's words, however the laugh is neither derisory nor mocking, "at least someone has a nominal grasp of my age."

Turning to the half-dragon wilder, "I am sorry to say but I think that Rahveon has a point. Bargaining with the powers of good always turns out a safer deal in the end than bargaining with those whose agendas would prefer they held all the cards and I for one do not enjoy others trying to play me for a puppet."

"Perhaps sending Arion along with Solarian might be a good idea, he does have a slight way with words in the very least, so long as he keeps that blade of his from talking through him, although keeping them both around a touch longer couldn't hurt to help greet our Githyanki guests."

Giving a sweeping motion with his hand to display the breath of life in the land, "and we surely do not wish to disturb the creative force which has rekindled the spark of life here. Let us prepare for the envoys of the Gith Queen, perhaps we can dissuade them from wanting a share of this land while at the same time gleaning what information we can from their actions as to what the queen would want with here."

 

[Kelleris]

{OOC: I should point out, as Ferrix did, that Genesis takes a week to manifest. Ergo, Rahveon et al. should have time to go to the Court of Stars and back while Sigrun is manifesting, Arion is visiting, and Su'ryuu is beseeching.}

 

[perivas]

Although she waits for the others to finish speaking, she is trembling from obvious anger. The passage of time seems to make it only worse. Only a nanosecond passes after Sigrun's last word is uttered, when Caira seethes. "The designs of those you bargain with are simple enough to surmise...pain and death, albeit not necessarily outright and immediate. You are proving yourself to be a fool, Su'ryuu." At this point, the huge treant behind takes once step back, cringing from the anticipation of explosive anger. Caira blinks slowly once before continuing, more calmly this time. "Although I agree with the urgency of Solarion's new mission, I think it best if he stays for the moment. What's done by Su'ryuu can hardly be undone so quickly. And a show of greater force may be necessary to thwart any premature designs of the Githyanki queen."

 

[TheOneAboveAll]

OOC: Sorry about my posting, or lack ther of but overtime is kind of killing me right now.


IC:
Solarion listens and watches to all that is going on around him. He feels that as a whole this gropu seems stratified and unsure of what direct steps should be taken. they each have their own ideas and plans of actions.

The one with the ideals closest to his own though is Rahveon. He decides that someone here must sacriface his or her own personal agenda for the greater good.

"Rahveon. I have decided that it is in the best interests of the world we are trying to save or to rebuild if it is beyond saving to follow the lead one individual for good or for ill. It that spirit I feel that you might be the best one to follow under these circumstances." He pauses, further putting his pride aside.

"I will follow you to the court of stars to see what it is we can learn."

He senses that tempers are flaring all around.

"We need not fight amongst our selves. It would only serve to make our task that much harder."

 

[Ferrix]

Interjecting into the heated exchanges, "I doubt that Su'ryuu would have lasted this long if she was as much a fool as you make out Caira." Sigrún smiles at the dryad and wilder. "I have started the process of reconstructing this world, now I think it is time that whoever is going to the Court of Stars do so now, elsewise, we're best not splitting hairs over it and move on to something more constructive."

"Now, when Arion returns we should full well make use of the knowledge he has gathered, and begin to formulate how to go about retrieving the essences we need to revivify the Endless Falls, without being as overly vague as we've been up to now." Sigrún has seemingly run out of interest for the current line of discussion.

OOC: Shall we get a move on then? Or is everyone as absent as it seems?
