Message: <blockquote data-quote="Edena_of_Neith" data-source="post: 1964894" data-attributes="member: 2020">(Mind you all, I have only read to the beginning of page 3 here.  I believe Serpenteye has oked the Withdrawal, so I am responding thusly.  But I do not yet know what bedlam went on in pages 4, 5, and 6, nor am I sure of Serpenteyes' rulings on a number of things.  I'm simply posting as I can here.)  POSTED BY AIRWHALE(OOC: IC post coming later. The forces under my control divert what they are doing, both to protect the elves, and to telaport all drow refugees to the great city... This movement is driven by the Grayspace parts of the elvish imperial navy, and is supported by the rest of the faction. They will only leave to perform their convoy and other actions once they are convincecd that the drow are in safe hands.)  FROM EDENA  Ok, if this is the case, then we have the following happening as of Airwhales' post:  - Rikandur is having the Rampage of Iuz, through the 99 drow cities (taking stuff, killing some drow, inviting the rest to join Iuz.)  - Melkor is sending his vampires to the 99 drow cities to help the stricken drow, to become vampires ... if he succeeds and Serpenteye allows it, we might have a race of superpowerful, superevil vampiric drow.  - Airwhale is teleporting units from the Elven Imperial Navy of Greyspace to the 99 cities to rescue the stricken drow, and send them to the Great City under construction (where most of the drow are.)  The Elves of Aliador are very grateful for any help the Elven Imperial Navy can give them, and they ask if some of their children can be taken to the safety of Ginsel.  Beset Celene and the Lendores are just happy to have ANY help, from ANYWHERE, especially if that help is from elves.  They cheer as the Spelljammers appear in their skies.  -  POSTED BY WILLIAMThe hand of friendshipAl'Akbar, tired of waiting for the devils, goes to the aid of the drow in the Malkuvah Baklunim. His clergy and those of the remaining Baklunish pantheon, such as Azor'alq, attend to the dark elves.  As he sense the presence of the avatar of Ellistrae, he smiles and realizes what she is doing."I thought the drow could change, but that Eclavdra would not. In the absence of the hatred and evil of the Queen of Spiders, the drow could not cope. So, they have collapsed and someone who truly loves them stands with them in their hour of greatest need. Now, I have a promise to keep to the Mordheil and to Eclavdra. However, I am keeping it under conditions I had not imagined." The demigod gathers a small force of celestials and djinn with Daoud by his side.  FROM EDENA  Most of the drow delegation to the Baklunish Empire survive through the Withdrawal and become good, because of the aid of Al'Akbar, a lawful good demipower.  Now, as of this post, William is stating he is sending Al'Akbar and a contigent to the Great City under construction, where most of the drow are.  Since the Great City is not shielded from scrying, he shouldn't have a problem getting there.  POSTED BY WILLIAMA bright light fills the cavern as Al'Akbar appears with a throng of celestials and djinn."I swore to Eclavdra that if her people were overcome and threatened with annihilation, I would aid her. This is not a matter for you, Lord Gallador! Furthermore, Ellistrae has aided me in the past. The Whispered One comes. I suggest you prepare for that struggle for the Sword of Kas no doubt hungers for the ultimate foe of Kas. I suggest that you go now!"Daoud and a strike force of celestials search for Eclavdra. They check the place where Al'Akbar secretly meet with Eclavdra and the great city.  FROM EDENA  Ok, as of that post, there were two powers within the Great City that I can safely confirm:    Melkors' Gallador and his force.  Williams' Al'Akbar and his force.  And, of course, a million stricken drow, unable to react one way or another.  Eclavdra is hidden by magic and her artifacts.  Even Al'Akbar cannot find her through scrying.  Again, a conventional search, using manpower, might work.  But that will take time.  And I'm guessing Gallador is the most pressing issue at hand.  -  BUGBEAR POSTED:When Rhynnon learns that Gallador and his minions have appeared near the great city (from the small group he sent to check on the great city and it's inhabitants), He teleports to the Great City to find Eclavdra and ensure that she is safe. He takes with him a selection of the knights of Herionious (5ePL)and some of the more powerful Modrons who seemed to have joined him (more on the Modrons latter) to secure the city.  He orders his armies to mobilize and prepare for action, and sends messengers to the other TEC pact members warning them that Gallador may have betrayed the Pact by attacking the great city.  FROM EDENA:  Ok, as of this post I can safely say that three powers are at hand in the Great City:  Gallador of the Vampiric Concord and his force.  Al'Akbar of the Baklunish and his force.  King Rhynnon of Greater Nyrond and his force.  -  POSTED BY SOLLIRThe Arch-Merchant Glu'boise receives a sending from Al'Akbar, seeking the mercane's aid ... (post continues for a long ways)  FROM EDENA  Eclavdra is protected by magic and her Regalia of Lordly Might, so her exact position cannot be scried.  She did this as a way of protecting herself from assassination.  She will have to be located through searches, or magical forces greater than the Regalia.  I cannot speak for Eilistraee, assuming she is there.  Not until I read the later posts:  if Serpenteye has ruled I control Eilistraee (which I doubt is the case) I'll return to this post, and have her respond.  Otherwise, assuming Eilistraee is there, Serpenteye has control of her, and you'll have to talk to him, Sollir.  Sorry about the confusion on this matter.  I hope we can get it straightened up as soon as possible.  -  POSTED BY KALANYRMorwel looks up in sudden surprise from her place.Impossible!  FROM EDENA  (chuckles)  And yet, it is happening.  The drow are turning good.  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />  FROM KALANYR  And then focusing her divine energy she views the place form which the disturbance in the very balance of good and evil has come and looks into the Great City itself. And then without a spoken word she is gone in a shimmer of starlight.  FROM EDENA  And she would see the following, as of this post:  A million stricken drow.  Gallador and his forces.  Al'Akbar and his forces.  King Rhynnon and his forces.  All are in the Great City.  I'm guessing quite a search is on for Eclavdra, at this point.  FROM KALANYRFor a moment the area brightens as if the stars shine softly overhead and then Morwel appears, Faerinall, and Gwynharwyf by her side, accompanied by a small force of Ghaele and Firre Eladrins. (15 Elite PL, taken in even percentage from where they are stationed and 2 Epic PL and Morwel)She stares up at Gallador, and draws her divine power around her, even as she gathers her impressive arcane energies."You are given a single opportunity to leave this place Gallador, your presence here violates the spirit of the TEC and I will not hesitate to destroy you utterly."  FROM EDENA  Ok, as of now, we have four powers debating the fate of the drow:  Gallador the Lord of the Vampiric Concord  Al'Akbar, Good Demipower of the Baklunish  King Rhynnon, Neutral King of Greater Nyrond  Morwel, Queen of the Eladrin (I believe)  POSTED BY KALANYR  Serpenteye:The clerics of the Miranda Alliance and the remaining Eladrin there will take care of the drow embassy to the best of their abilities, given their limited access to divine magic. However the eladrin do have many healing spell-like abilities.  FROM EDENA  Most of the elves in Miranda survive, because they are being aided directly by elves.  These drow will become good drow.  Unless Serpenteye rules otherwise, this takes all of Turn 1.</blockquote>
