[QUOTE="Serpenteye, post: 1967247, member: 1492"] ooc: I'll agree with that commandment. If it's not followed, I'd never be able to make myself understood. :heh: The Bakluni are not attacked. The slave-uprising has been subdued, and the suffering Drow are being taken care of by a grand coalition of healers. Heh... Sorry. I know you wrote that but I forgot about it. :\ I can't undo what I have ruled, though, that would make a mess out of everything. I can say that Knight Otu seems to be handling Eclavdra in a nearly saintly way and that his intention didn't seem to be to cause Eclavdra harm. The fact is, plenty of factions were protecting Eclavdra and it would have been a lengthy process for you all to negotiate about who would be entrusted to take care of her. Knight Otu was the first one to state that he was taking her and I, wanting to simplify the situation, ruled in his favour. Anyway, what's done is done, and it probably won't cause too much trouble. Many elves accept your blessing gratefully (see Edena's posts on the matter). Your generosity, of giving of your own power freely and unconditionally, will gain you new converts. In the short term, though, it costs you as much power as it gives you. - Since Knight Otu stated that Eclavdra's location is not protected against divinations of teleportation Morwel has no difficulty arriving by her side. It does need to be specified, because your forces will have to divert some power into it which will make them less effective in combat. If one of the Brothers would have done nothing but cast Dimensional Anchors or similar spells Iuz's chances of escaping would have been much lower (but his chances of defeating them would have been greater). Absolutely free choice... That would give Eclavdra what no being in existance has ever truly had. Some might speculate that absolutely free choice, absolute power, would elevate her to a status that transcended reality. She would become... infinite in every way. Fortunately, or unfortunately, Iuz does not have that kind of power. The Miracle is granted. Eclavdra will have free choice, to some degree. -- Iuz can grant them spells, but since few of them under His control only a very small number will turn to His worship. Those under the control of Iuz's ideological and theological enemies might cast an occasional spell drawn from Him. In the end, it seems unless some things change, Iuz will spend more divine energy on granting the spells than he will get back in worship. Nice... I'm really looking forward to when your character will enter the game in truth. :] Eclavdra woke up briefly, thanks to Zagyg's intervention, but drifted back to unconsciousness again. One way or the other, I rule, Iuz's Miracle will wake her up. What free choice Eclavdra makes is entirely up to you. -- I rule that many of the Drow being tended by the goodly factions will become Good. Many, not necessarily a majority, though, that remains to be seen. Others will turn Evil, insane, both, or worse. The Drow are evil, they are the poster-girls (and boys, but mostly girls) of evil, that's not going to change easily. Many of those who turn Good will turn a grim kind of Good, not all sunshine and lollypops. The adults of the Drow have been evil for centuries, they've committed terrible deeds of cruelty and loved it with all their hearts, that is a stain on their conscience they may never be rid of, a heavy burden to carry. So, the millions of former slaves are once again taking up residence in the city as subjects of the Wolf God. There is open speculation in the literate circles on Oerth wether this means that the Wolf God is de-facto making a claim to the Great City itself... ooc: I know, I know... I :):):):)ed up. As I wrote, it would have been a long and difficult process to determine her whereabouts to be if it would have been handled by diplomacy. I wanted to resolve the situation and move on. Anyway, sorry, If I had remembered correctly I would have handled things differently. True... The Drow, the vast majority of them, are completely unable to take care of themselves and those of them who recover on their own are more likely to slit some throats than help their fellow dark-elf. Almost all of them die, from pain, thirst, or violence. Free choice is free choice... The wording of the spell should protect her against its inerent taint. (And perhaps Iuz is not as evil as He used to be) [/QUOTE]
