(IR) IR Interlude Turn 5 - Turn 6 (thread 3)

[Spoof]

Edena

Alzem comes before Mina and with a glance is able to tell that while her words are that of sweet honey, they are laced with the poison of slavery.

“Mina, you say you can help us rid this world of the destruction coming upon us, but you have yet to say how. Will you just wave your hands and make everything go away? If that could be done do you not think the gods of this world would do such a thing? Or are you telling us that you have it in YOUR power to do these things? If this were so then to prove your good intentions you would just remove this plague from the lands and not try and bargain for a power base here on Oreth, as you seem to be doing. If I were to come to your world and learn of such an occurrence of the Red Death and I knew I could halt it I would do so without demanding concessions. So Mina why are you really here?”

Edena I will also send a representative to Krynn to locate the orders of good knights located there. I will tell them of our plight along with the suffering of the people, and if they were to come and assist us in our time of need then I would in return after our troubles are over, return with them to assist them in their struggles.

While on Krynn the Representative will also look into Mina and her One God, so see what has happened since she began to preach about it. He will also look for any enemies that Mina might have made while there and try to enlist their aid.

The representative will send representatives to the different good dragon factions that are there to try and enlist their aid and their opinions on Mina and her cause.

Edena Only:

Also what has come of the research to locate a dimension that is the opposite of Ravenloft, and my operations in Ravenloft itself?

[Anabstercorian]

Do'h!

RIGHT after I kill myself - 4,000 PL backup. Dang.

Can't take back the post... Maybe Ilsensine will refuse my request, or be unable to pierce Shade defenses.
If I DO die, then Manzebossk (whose PL is included in the Solistarim PL) will become my new PC.

Also, Forrester? If I DO die, I want Melkor to die. Please do that for me... old friend.

 

[Forrester]

Sorry, squid-head

As much as it pains me, it would be extraordinarily bad roleplaying to trade Melkor for Anabstercorian. For one thing, the latter two actually had an alliance of sorts -- Anab and I really didn't, though we had mini-deals from time to time.

And what would the Eternal Empire think of that? We may need their help down the line -- saving the life by trading away the leader of the SHADE (an enemy of theirs as well) to save ANABSTERCORIAN (the guy who singlehandedly killed five million of their men) wouldn't look good, now, would it?

For all I know, this could be a Shade trick.

In any case, I fail to believe that the Shade would be so stupid as to kill Anabster -- it has 4000(PL) reasons not to. As in the incoming Illithid fleet.

I have to run to work (I can't afford to take three sick days in a row)-- but barring extraordinary posts/circumstances, I'll post my Official Melkor-Related Actions later today.

Forrester

 

[Edena_of_Neith]

Mina speaks, and she is heard around the Oerth:

Come all.
Come to Rauxes.
The time for decision is at hand.

Responsible leaders live up to their duties to their people.
Leaders of Oerth, that responsibility lies heavy on you, and you must face it.

Come to Rauxes, and let us meet, and discuss the situation.

I am Mina, and I follow the One God.
I am from the world of Krynn, come to your world in your hour of need with my army.
With faith and with courage, with determination and with truth, we can overcome all the obstacles that face us.

Yet you must come, to Rauxes, for this to be.
Come, leaders of Oerth, and let us talk.

 

[Forrester]

This request for a meeting is broadcast by the Thorn Knights via magic to every part of Oerth and Greyspace.

Ooh, the Knights of Thorn!

Do they have Banding and Protection From Red?!

[Mr. Draco]

Well, Kas is already there, and I'm going offline for the next 10hrs.

 

[Anabstercorian]

Terribly sorry

I just killed myself, you see - Final retirement. If I did something that silly I must be getting old. The Solistarim are in a bit of a tizzy right now while my protege', Manzebossk, tries to get things under control - But we'll be there sure'nuf.

 

[Edena_of_Neith]

Yes, and when Anabstercorian kills himself, his Stasis Clone spell activates a new Anabstercorian in the Secret Retreat of the Solistarim.

Anabstercorian's soul successfully escapes from the Plane of Shadow, and joins with this new Clone.

- - -

One of the people ringing in Lord Melkor was a traitor.
Carefully shielded by 11th level defenses, nobody knew this mage was secretly an agent of the Church of Shade.
But Lord Melkor knew.
And the Agent tipped Lord Melkor off to an all too obvious plan, using a special signal, an instant before he made his move.

The agent was carrying a small anti-matter device in his Bag of Holding.

He takes it out, and it detonates.
This does not destroy the 11th level shields around Lord Melkor - they can withstand such a blast.
But it kills those who were on the OUTSIDE of those shields, and who were maintaining those shields.
It also kills the agent.

Lord Melkor, given an instant of notice, is able to teleport away as the shields collapse, but before the blast incinerates him also.

Lord Melkor, at this point, has no choice but to immediately flee Realmspace.
It is that, or be instantly destroyed.

 

[Anabstercorian]

Whoo.

Anabstercorian sits bolt upright on the pedestal, his new body reviving. He grins.

<< Yes! Miserable surface cattle can't hold me down! >> He gets up and starts doing a ceremonial dance of victory "in the flesh", before he notices the Solistarim clerics looking at him with an expression of great concern - and amusement. He composes himself.
<< All right. Here's what happened... >>

========================

Shade, don't feel too bad. You've just gained some extremely powerful weapons! The Cloak of Dream Armor, the Dreamguns, Dreamedge, the Sunbuster Cannon, the Boots of the Void, the Belt of Disbelief, the Bracers of Ass-Whomping, the Ring of the Psion, the Ring of the Master -

Holy .

Edena, my Ring of the Master was the thing enthralling my Bloodsteel armored dragons! The Shade can take control of those now, if they think to take the ring in to their power!

Props to Melkor...

 

[LordMelkor{Talos}]

Edena, could you answer my former questions concerning the situation on Krynn? Shade will send their ambassadors to check the situation. And my question concerning Shade having 11th level magic on Toril?

Also, does Melkor have time to take Forrester hostage?
