(IR) Preparations for the IR - Thread 5 (AND IT WILL BE THE LAST ONE!)

[William Ronald]

Edena:

Thanks. I saw the thread close, and I thought I would react quickly while you was working on other things.

I am reposting my history and technology links:

Darkness, thanks for the information on the planar claims. It looks like I have the Kettish Hills, but check the claims list - there might be something near your lands.

I claim the celestials, the guardinals, and the earth elementals.

To the celestials and the guardinals, I offer to build temples to good aligned deities in my lands and those I may claim. I will work to promote peace and tolerance among peoples of diverse origins. I will also offer incense and other items. Additionally, I will work on increasing the rights of all people, regardless of class or race. Also, I promise to have all temples in my territory heal the sick and the poor free of charge. Others will be charged a sliding scale based on their income. (Kind of like airline tickets.)

To the earth elementals: I will work to prevent industrial pollution of the land. I will offer booty from battle to them. I will work with other nations in preventing industrial pollution. I also will establish trade with them for finished goods. I also will speak on their behalf to other nations.

Heh, You didn't have to offer them all that, William. All Earth elementals want to do is Smash Stuff

IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ

To Valkys:

See if William will forward your e-mails to me, if you will them to him first.

To Williams:

Would you help Valkys with this, since Valkys is unable to contact me via e-mail?
Just a request.

Comments and Answers to posts on this thread (read this!)

Darkness, thank you.
Actually, doing what you did made my job easier, as I can now directly respond to posts from the earlier thread.


Lord Melkor (Talos) wrote:

Since Cairn Hills are near Greyhawk I claim beings of the Cairn Hills! Shade agents are working on subverting them.

((Yes, and I have noted that the Cairn Hills are now contested.))

For my Planar Claims:

Metallic Planar Dragons (Dragons from all Planes other than the Prime, good) PL see the Planar Arms Race

To the Planar Dragons I offer part of my personal fortune, 100,000 gold coins just to begin discussions.

((It is no longer necessary to convince the Planars to help them. Claim them, and they are yours. Nice roleplaying, Creamsteak.))


Williams wrote:

To avoid competing claims, I am dropping my claim to the celestials.

((That will not be necessary, Williams. As the rules state, Planars are an exception to the rule. Two or more players may select the same Planars, without a contest.))


Creamsteak wrote:

I have some NPC's that I would like to submit as my commanders of my forces in certain areas.

((I will place the names and classes under your claims, Creamsteak, but not on the List of NPCs for grabs. Your submitted NPCs will not have a Power Level, but it is great roleplaying, and I think others would agree.)


Serpenteye wrote:

I'll be generous

I'm relinquishing my claim on Hestmark Highlands to Maudlin, he needs it more than I do and deserves it more than anyone else.

((Maudlin gets the Hestmark Highlands.))


Anabstercorian wrote:

I'd like to claim...

((Note, Anabstercorian, that the Solistarim are now a 50 point power, instead of a 40 point power.
I originally conceived of the Solistarim as being strong enough to take on Iuz, the Kevellond League, and all the land holdings of Black Omega at once.
Because of the Power Level inflation, it was necessary to strength the Solistarim.))

I'd like to claim any sentient evil inhabitants of the northern Dramidj Ocean and western Icy Sea. It probably isn't much, but I just want to have some sea influence - The Solistarim has no problems with non-humans, as long as said non-humans stay the hell off the Flannae.

((Your Power Level already factors in help from the sea. I intend to instruct Maudlin to place two spots in the water, one in the Icy Sea and one in the Drawmij Ocean, representing the Solistarim.))


High Leader of the Solistarim, who are North-West of the Land of Black Ice, and have a Power Level of about 24

((Try doubling that, and then some. Where are your Planar Claims, by the way?))


Creamsteak wrote:

Me and Gnome are working on a deal I think.. I offered to give him the Southern half PL 2 and I take the Northern Half PL 3 since I claimed it first... when he gets on I think he will agree... is this ok?

((The southern and northern half of what?))


Creamsteak wrote:

Are you keeping the thread William made going... did you count my claims of the planars there?

((No, I missed them. Creamsteak, please restate your Planar Claims on this thread, and I will place them in the Lists.))


Bonedagger wrote:

Damn. I hoped this would be called the sixth thread. I have been waiting for that one.

((ROTFLOL. Do you realize that we have posted more than EIGHT HUNDRED POSTS for something we haven't even STARTED YET???!!
I don't think that THAT has ever happened on the ENBoards before.))


It's the end of the world as you know it- Vecna has arrived!

((You don't do something about it, it might BE the end of the world. Vecna has 10th level magic. The Doomgrinder clicks that final click just as he arrives in the Present.))


Anabstercorian wrote:


I'd like to claim any evil intelligent aquatic creatures near the Solistarim HQ - I'd like some sort of sea defense and I'm sure they'd be happy to have the continental shelves to themselves again.

((I'm working on it.))


GnomeWorks wrote:

Creamsteak, I agree to your terms on the splitting of the Hollow Highlands. Sounds fair enough.

((Interesting. I will allow that. When Acererak attacks the Hollow Highlands, he is now attacking two Powers, and not one.
Who's taking the north side, and who's taking the south side?))


Darkness wrote:

BTW, I've also posted my PC on the previous thread, as well as on the PC thread.

((Darkness, could you post your PC again on this thread? This is a request.))

Errm, William?

(Emphasis is mine, as is this color.)

quote:

RULE 7: THE PLANAR ARMS RACE

A player can claim 1, 2, or 3 Planar Races to help his Power, at (or before) the start.
Those Planar Races come and aid the Power calling them, automatically.
That Power gains 1 point per Turn for each Planar Race helping him, automatically.
Two or more players may claim the same group of Planars.
If this happens, it is not considered a Contested situation.
A Power may claim the same Planar Race twice, or thrice (such as claiming the demons 3 times.)
Such claims take the place of claiming other Planar Races.
If you discard one Planar Race during play, you can take another in it's place.

((Thank you, Darkness, for helping Williams. Williams, to make a long story short, you can keep the Celestials, and Creamsteak can claim them also.))

And speaking of planars:

I claim dao, fire elementals, and planar gem dragons.

((Done, Darkness. I will modify the Lists.))

 

[William Ronald]

E-mail

Well, you answered my question about e-mail. I would be happy to help Valkys.

Turrosh Mak: I add "Earth elementals are allowed to SMASH my enemies to my claims list description.

Edena: I also will create some NPCs - ambassadors, commanders, common people, soldiers- who will add some characterization to the thread.

Also, as Murlynd has ties to the Old West of Earth, I will throw in a few references here and there. For example, he may sing Emily Dickinson poems to the tune of The Yellow Rose of Texas. (On Babylon 5, a character once quipped all her poems can be sung to that tune. Hmm. "My candle burns on both ends/It will not last the night/But, oh my foes, and oh my friends/It sheds a lovely light.") This may cause Heward to groan.

Was my e-mail last night of any help?

Heh. I'll go and get those posts over here now...

edit: Lord Melkor's post is now the first in the thread (as expected); they are sorted chronologically... Don't worry, I'll do something about that.
edit 2: Okay, found a solution, I think...

((I need Creamsteak's Planar Claims, so I can put them on the Lists.
Remember that you may claim 3 Planar Groups AND you may announce your entry into the Undead Arms Race, in which case you have good or neutral or evil undead also shown on your listing.))

Since everybody else seems to be posting their planar arms claims I'll do the same.

Evil Earth Elementals
Yogoloths
Negative Energy Elementals ((The Xeg-Yi, by the way))


GnomeWorks wrote:

YET ANOTHER CLAIM

If I am allowed to, and no one else has, I would like to also claim the Modrons from Mechanus. I offer them machinery, technological advances, and the chance to help restore order back into a chaotic world.

((GnomeWorks, that's fine. You are entitled to 2 other Planar Claims in addition to the Modrons.))


Sollir Furryfoot wrote:

I claim Slaadi
Demons
... and Chromatic Dragons

((Done))

(If any of these are taken, i'll take devils, if thats taken i'll find another one heh)

((You may take a Planar Group already claimed. Two or more players can claim the same Planar Group.
Please inform me if you are sticking with your claims, or dropping one and taking the Devils.))

((Done. Nice rping on winning the Planars over, but you are not required to do so with the change in the rules.))

[Serpenteye]

A question to Edena

Is it possible that Kas can choose another place than Tovag Baragu to arrive to the present? If he does have free will he would prefer to land in Dark Union territories. If he cannot arrive elsewhere than Tovag Baragu, then all available Dark Union mages put all their time and energy during the two weeks before Vecna's arrival to transporting the Legions of Kas to Aerdi. This question is essential to our strategies during the first months of the IR.

Sorry if I'm making a nuisance of myself.

 

[GnomeWorks]

EDENA

I'm getting the smaller half of the Hollow Highlands, PL-wise.

Also, I think I'll claim the Formians and the earth elementals, as well, for planar powers.

 

[Creamsteak]

Re: IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ

This Information is mostly a re-post, but I am covering some stuff Edena may have missed.

For my Planar Claims:

Metallic Planar Dragons (Dragons from all Planes other than the Prime, good) PL see the Planar Arms Race

To the Planar Dragons I offer part of my personal fortune, 100,000 gold coins just to begin discussions. For every Dragon they send I offer 1,000 gold per size class or one magical item for their personal hoards. To maintain their loyalty I also vow that my sword be granted to Bahamuts personal treasures when I die. (I also have an ambition to eventually share an alliance between silver dragons and elves, very similar to the alliance between githyanki and red dragons.)

Nature Elementals (Planars from various Planes, all alignments but always on nature's side) PL see the Planar Arms Race

To the Nature Elementals I offer to annex 1/5 of all the forests I am in control of to their direct command if we win victory in this war, and of course I mention just how well kept the elves have made these forests for centuries. I point out that Vecna does not need nature in any way, and nor do many evil forces such as the demons. I also vow to protect these forests the same way I protect my people. I try to influence them to join me more out of mutual respect and necessity.

Celestials (Planars of Mount Celestia, lawful good) PL see the Planar Arms Race

I offer myself in death to the Celestial court... to become a lantern archon petitioner and hope to attain higher ranks. I offer my armies services against any extra planars that we share as enemies. I am willing to offer much gold if they want, but I doubt they need much mundane metal.

Dealings between me and GnomeWorks:

I am taking the Northern Half of the Hollow Highlands PL 3, GnomeWorks is taking the Southern Half PL 2.

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

Thanks Edena but I like my claims just fine , ah my proposal is still up, any evil orgnaizations needing a Half-Celestial, Half-Machine, Advanced HD, CE Death Slaad?
