[QUOTE="Serpenteye, post: 1975063, member: 1492"] Not unlike Gallador's vampiric Drow the dark elves in your care recover sooner than most others. The Evil divine energies that were missing, the drug they were withdrawing from, could rather easily be substituted for with Iuz' own Evil. They eagerly devour your dark power, finding it not so different from Lolth's. In time your few scores of thousands of Drow become your most fanatical followers. Elistraee recoils, but recovers. Her eyes full of loathing she laughs at you from beneath her veil. "Charming." "I have a feeling that those of my siblings you claim as your own will soon desert you. A dozen nations are at this very moment plotting your death, and noone stands to oppose them. The powers of Good are triumphant in diplomacy even as your doomed ally stands triumphant on the field of battle. Our forces are gathering, and soon we will cleanse your evil from the world." "You have not come to fight me? Believe me, we'll fight soon enough." They were hit same as the rest, those of them who worshiped the evil Drow pantheon that is. Those who worshiped you, and those who worshiped no deities, are doing quite well. Fortunately, or unfortunately, there were never many atheist Drow, and the ones who did exist scattered when civilisation collapsed (somewhat richer than before). Elistraee shares your reaction, she senses the scene with painful clarity. As she recovers she simply looks at Iuz wearily. ooc: Consider me reminded ;). ooc: No it didn't. (You can't just remote-teleport something out of someone elses posession, unless you cast a Word of recall (or similar spell) on your hand before you lost it.) ;) Good idea. :) Your forces pull back, bruised but not beaten. There are a few last clashes, but the enemy does not pursue. The United Alliance of Gnibile hails the news as a great victory and some of the less somber courts hold lavish and bloody celebrations when the news are confirmed. Their forces are regrouped to prepare for future battles and your spies report a significant increase of telepathic messages between nearly all the official capitals of Gnibile. Your casualties so far in the war is 12 epPL and 110 rPL, but you have gained 60 rPLs of mindless undead. Your enemies casualties are comparable, but their total loss of rPLs exceeds yours by a nice margin. - The attempted convertions of (some of your) troops to undeath fails, for the most part. The drain of negative energy makes the vampires attempting the convertion sluggish and weakened. Some of them develop depressions... ooc: And Elistraee is now under your control. I think you deserve a rest. :) 'k She will always be scarred, and so will Iuz, but the return of her parts helps. A lot of you did just that, but I don't want to formalize it. Another rule will only complicate things. - I don't really have time to chat, and I tend to need to consider my reply before I can make any promises about what actions can and can't be made and the what results of those actions would be. True enough. :) They were blasting right back at you. Also, undead-turning and rebuking is somewhat weakened for clerics of demigods, I'd think. Thank the dice ;). That's true. :uhoh: indeed... (It's not easy to teleport an item from someone elses posession to your own when you're casting the spell from half a continent away.) "zzz" ooc: [sblock]Hmm... so no God-flesh Golem then... ;) [/sblock] Or your neck... The people are quite intimidated by your display of power, and some are even enthusiastic about their new government. I'll take a look at your posts there, copy-paste them, and reply to them in this thread. Does Elistraee accept? ;) The damage was minor, all things considered. Approximately equal to 0,5 rPL. The people of the Bakluni Empire should be proud of their leader, and they are. The clergies in your territory, which were originally sceptical to Al'akbar's supremacy, begin to rely on his wisdom. The people still pray to their old Gods, but some also mention you in their prayers. Most of them are unable to believe in the visions you show them, but the healing continues. Ok. [/QUOTE]
