[QUOTE="Forrester, post: 92469, member: 1279"] [b]Red Goo of Doom[/b] This is what I have learned from my experiments with the substance . . . I think we are in trouble. ------------ Since you are asking so many questions, you discover a minor little fact, Forrester. Just a minor little fact. Do you know what Flesh-Eating Disease is? IRL? It starts with an infection, then it spreads underneath the skin. The skin itself is not affected, but underneath the skin, the subcutaneous layer of flesh between skin and muscle becomes infected, then dies and rots, at an astounding pace. The effects are most pronounced, often, in the hands and feet. Once the subcutaneous layer of flesh is destroyed, the skin dies, and flakes off. The underlying muscle and bone then dies. It leaves people with hands and feet that are blackened and dead (look mom, no skin!) Well, guess what? The battle caused a deep wound in Oerth. The goo, is the infection from that wound. And it is spreading, underneath the surface of the Flanaess, through the rock strata that underlies the topsoil and surface rock. It is spreading at a good clip - on the order of 100 miles per Turn. It is spreading far faster than that in some cases, and new infections of the rock strata are occurring in isolated places all over the Flanaess. What do you think is going to happen next? You can stop this infection with 11th level magic. 11th level magic will cure it. However, you must obtain 11th level magic to cure it, and you don't have that magic right now. Vecna knows. Vecna knows exactly what is happening. Vecna intends to destroy you, regardless of that. And if the world rots, so be it. He will rebuild Oerth in his own image. He is glad, in fact, to destroy you and end any hope Oerth had of obtaining 11th level magic, and saving itself. Vecna is REALLY, REALLY EVIL, and it shows. [/QUOTE]
