[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 122215, member: 2020"] [b]ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS AND MY SUGGESTIONS[/b] Here are the answers to your questions: - - - Third -- Edena, I (we, more likely) need the answers to a few questions: 1) If we kill this Avatar of Melkor, how soon can he create another one? A year? Ten years? Less? More? I would imagine it would take awhile, and the Shade should be in some way penalized in power. It's not every day a god loses a 20PL Avatar. Not at all. There's got to be a reason gods don't throw them around casually. ANSWER: If you kill the Avatar of Melkor, the Player Character of Melkor the Player is out of the IR. My regrets, Melkor, but this is the case. You'll have to create a new Player Character. Melkor will eventually regenerate his Avatar, but not for a long time - not until after this IR is over, in all likelihood. HOWEVER ... If the Shade choose to kill Anabstercorian, considering where he is, then Anabstercorian the Player permanently loses his Player Character - there is no recovery of the PC from the Home Fortress of the Shade in the Deep Plane of Shadow. The Moderator suggests, for the sake of OOC feelings, that you trade - prisoner for prisoner. The Moderator thinks feelings will be hurt if you kill each other's Player Characters. - - - 2) If proof of Melkor's capture were to go out over Realmspace and Greyspace, how much would that hurt the Shade's cause, do you think, as far as their followers are concerned? The road my conversation with Melkor takes will depend on your answers, obviously. I need to know whether he has any reason to bargain (does he have anything to lose?) and whether I have any reason to bargain. I'll start up the conversation, though : ANSWER: It is helping their cause, not hurting it. There is widespread and EXTREME rage amongst the Church of Shade across Realmspace that their Lord has been taken. Already, a number of incidents have occurred, with many fatalities. Members of the Church of Shade, armed with their own 11th level magic, are planning to attempt to cause major destruction across the world of Toril. Furthermore, they are calling their brethren in the Plane of Shadow for help. The capture of Lord Melkor has enraged a large number of the beings of the Plane of Shadow, who are now forming a host (yes, you heard that right folks - a THIRD host now threatens Oerth) to seek vengeance for this insult upon them all. The mages and clerics of Shade who have Anabstercorian imprisoned, inform him that a long, slow, and grisly death awaits him if Lord Melkor is killed. Afterwards, he will be raised as a creature of Shade, and tortured again - but he will never die. They will make sure of it, using their magic to keep him alive. Their revenge against him will last for ten thousand years, and more, and the torture will never stop, if their Lord Melkor is killed by Forrester. And when Lord Melkor finally returns, Anabstercorian will be given to HIM, personally, for his own dark delight. (Melkor is always free to override what I just wrote, of course. If Lord Melkor is killed, I would suggest Melkor not take it out on Anabstercorian. Hurt feelings may result from that. What was said above was IC only.) - - - POSTED BY ANABSTERCORIAN RAGE Anabstercorian walks along the Plane of Shadow, towards the last strongholds of the Shade. The fortress is apocalyptic in scope - Screams of purest agony can be heard from every tower of black stone, every adamantine parapet. The tallest tower fades in to nothingness, at the edge of even Anabstercorian's minute vision. The entrance hall is long, and empty, guarded by dozens of Helmed Horrors, weapons at the ready. At the far end are two Shade magi, who look at Anabstercorian with interest. "Lord Anabstercorian," one of them begins, "It is a pleasure-" And Anabstercorian whips out a Dream Gun and blows his head all over the wall, spraying the other one across the ceiling with a flick of his wrist. He draws the other gun and glares. << This is for being so bloody dumb. >> He blasts open the door in a spray of molten iron and hot plasma and charges, screaming a warcry in his mind... Edena, I am removing Forresters wife from Melkor's custody as of NOW. I will use the Dictum to Enthrall any members of the Shadow Council who array against me. If they're half as silly and overconfident as Melkor is, they should be unprotected. Additionally, I am wearing Shades of Cataclysmic Redoubt. Before I undertook this assault, I stole (or at the very least attempted to steal) a single nuclear warhead from the Eternal Empire of Ana Keri. I will be detonating this bomb after I leave with Forrester's concubine if at all possible. ANSWER: This was Anabstercorian's post, and I am holding him to it. Anabstercorian's attempt to obtain nuclear weapons from the Eternal Empire force in AnaKeris failed, although Zouron lost a number of people protecting his nuclear stockpile. The Dictum is 10th level in strength: in the home fortress of the Shade, they have 11th level magic. The Shade laugh at the Dictum. Anabstercorian, you walked into a trap every bit as terrible and lethal as the one Lord Melkor walked into. I hope, for your sake, that Forrester agrees to a prisoner exchange. [/QUOTE]
