Anyway, at this point it's over for Toril in my eyes, I'm mealy looking for somewhere in the multiverse far enough away to hide out, We may use our Psionics to create a demiplane for us to hole up on, but we are worried about the war following us. We had heard rumors of a place known as Ravenloft that can be entered but no left. So if it comes down to it we will duck in there and let anyone foolish enough to follow, follow. Hopefully it won't come to that, My force doesn't have alot of arcane magic, mostly Psionics and Divine but I believe that we can create some temporary gates and we are invited anyone who wishes to pack up and leave passage with us when we go.

Forrester IP: Logged Edena_of_Neith Member posted 04-11-2001 02:15 AM At this point, there are hundreds of thousands of casualties among the elven allies, and thousands among the elves themselves. The bodies of elves, faerie, angels, knights of Veluna, dwarves, gnomes of Ulek, shiere of Arvandor, kender, lay in a vast wreckage from one end of Evermeet to the other. But Evermeet is still standing fast, in spite of it all. Without the Technomancy, the enemy has been able to defeat the elves. In wildspace, the Elven Imperial Navy has given pursuit to the retreating Scro fleet, cutting it off and engaging it. More ships are continuing their firefight over Toril itself. There is battle in the astral plane, as the githyanki match swords against the elves defending there (the githyanki are winning that one.) There is battle in the ethereal plane, as hordes of elementals attack the elven defenders. The Technomancy has yet to take a stand. The illithid have yet to decide. The Humanoids and all their allies hurl themselves against the elves like massive waves against a rocky shore. Rocks crumble, and avalanches of debris go crashing down into the ocean. Soon, the ocean is stained with silt and sand, and filled with rock debris. And still the war rages. The great cloud looms higher and higher, multicolored lightning flickering from it, like an avatar of doom, while the world of Toril trembles under the feet of those watching on in awe.

Mess with us, and we'll take a bite out of you that will make it so that you will not survive an incursion with any other force. We will continue trade, but we will not publish any of our further scientific findings. From now on, we benefit from our discoveries alone. The Humanoids are at a point where they can do without our knowledge. Though it is not as advanced as ours, since we would have built institutions far superior to any humanoid one, and we can afford the best minds (that's where hard currency comes in Forrester), we can afford to stay our ground. We redouble our efforts in researching defensive technology, as well as researching something the British coined "tanks." Adamantine tanks should prove to be quite an advantage over any attackers. Still, we urge the humanoids to leave the elves alone, for if they are part of the Weave, then their destruction can only mean the destruction of our world.

Power Levels: The Technomancy, without Humanoids: 20 (they are up to 1930s technology) The Humanoids and all allies: 23 The Elves: 18 The Illithid 15 (and they are exceedingly close to their goal now) This takes into account war losses.

Wiping them out is not suggested, not at all. But the elves point out that kobolds should not have war factories producing magical firearms, cannon, explosives, and whatnot. Nor should orcs, goblins, hobgoblins, gnolls, and other such beings. The elves think such high technology, should belong to responsible people: i.e., the Technomancy.

This is very unfortunate for the elves. The elves suffer over one million casualties, between them and their allies, and the destruction of half of Evermeet, before they manage to lure the thing into the ocean. The tarrasque, still hungry after eating so many elves, elven allies, and so much of Evermeet, heads for mainland Faerun. Wishes continue to be useless against it, and divinations show this is the fault of both the elves and the devils. Too many wishes thrown against the tarrasque too quickly. It will be some time before it can be affected by wish spells again. --- Forrester, good news. The tarrasque so devastated Evermeet, and the elves are so weakened, that the Humanoids are able - finally - to eliminate the elves totally. You have but to say the word.

Assuming that this plan will work, we WILL make sure that Zouron's elf-freeing is kept to a minimum. Not that the elves would trust Mr. Lord of the Undead, also Former Enemy, farther than they could throw him, anyway . . . Forrester IP: Logged Edena_of_Neith Member posted 04-11-2001 03:26 AM (The following assumes Forrester goes ahead and obliterates the elves. Based on the last post I read before writing this, he had indicated that he is taking this course of action.) Forrester has chosen. In one great climatic battle, the Elven Alliance is destroyed. Millions of Humanoids die in this attack. Hundreds of thousands perish among the Githyanki, Githzerai, Scro, everyone who is aiding the humanoids. The elves are obliterated, and Evermeet is overrun. Leuthilspar is put to the torch, her people massacred, the palace of Queen Amlauril goes smashing down. The Faerie Folk alliance loses tens of thousands of it's people (more than 2/3rds of their force), and flee weeping from the island. The dwarves and gnomes are obliterated. Even the kender cannot escape. Hundreds of thousands of elves, all that remain on Toril, plus their elven allies from other worlds - they all die, or are taken as slaves. Across the length and breath of the ruined desert that was Evermeet, the humanoid cheers of victory go up. The flags of the humanoids rise over the ruins of Leuthilspar. An end is come to the elves of Toril. Likewise, the Elven Imperial Navy is swept out of Realmspace, and the Scro are victorious. The remaining Elven Fleet reassembles on another Crystal Sphere. The elves have one final surprise for all of you, though, and it isn't nice. It isn't nice. It's not nice at all. The elves, in their last desperation, throw several dozen Wrath of the Just spells. Evermeet literally blows itself apart in titantic convulsions and volcanic eruptions. An avalanche the likes of which has not been seen since the Sundering plummets into the ocean. The first tsunami heads for the coast. It is over 2,000 feet high. Guess what happens when it hits? Then Evermeet convulses, and explodes. The entire world of Toril lights up, the light reflecting off of the moons, as a titanic fireball a hundred miles across rockets up into near space, hanging off Toril like a lightbulb. A titanic earthquake grips all of Toril. Cities shatter, buildings toppling, smashing down, riven asunder. Trees tumble down, their trunks split. Massive fissures open in the ground, sucking everything down into them, enormous waterfalls the size of the Gulf Stream pouring into them, whole mountains shattering and crumbling into the void. Across Toril, volcanoes explode into red, unholy life. The Technomancy suffers massive destruction from this quake. Factories collapse, boilers explode, steel beams are ripped in half, concrete ceilings smash down, the cries of tens of thousands of terrified people suddenly silenced. Mines cave in, there are vast natural gas explosions, pipelines are broken, railroads are knocked out. All communications are knocked out. Most roads are knocked out. Enormous fires are set in most cities. The new art of firefighting is not a match for this, because the newly built water mains are broken. What the Technomancy suffers, is also suffered by the nations in league with the elves. Undermountain collapses, caving in. The tsunamis destroy the entire western coastline, eradicating, among other places, Icewind Dale, Luskan, Waterdeep, Candlekeep, Coastal Amn, Coastal Tethyr, and most of Calimshan, sweeping scores of miles inland (hundres of miles inland in some cases.) Zakhara suffers the same fate as the Technomancy. All communication from Zakhara ceases. Kara-Tur also suffers the same fate, although they avoid the tsunamis. Communications from Kara-Tur cease, also. Maztica takes the full brunt of the waves, and the earthquakes are greater there. Vast areas of tropical forest are wiped out, and whole cultures come to an end as waves half a mile high bring Armaggedon to that unfortunate continent. The Weave staggers from the explosion, and all magic is disrupted. Magic becomes extremely unreliable, with large numbers of spells going Wild, and others killing their casters when thrown. However ... The illithid are also stopped. The explosion is so great vast areas of the Underdark collapse. Everyone and everything caught in this collapse is killed. A greater part of the NeoIllithid perish. A greater part of the Svirfnebli perish. Mithral Hall and Citadel Adbar are reduced to smithereens. In the deepest deep of the Underdark, the earthquake hits the Illithid just as they are preparing to douse the sun. Tens of thousands of illithid perish as their caverns and tunnels collapse. Plans are buried under tons of rock. Carefully stored up psionic power is unleashed, and goes off randomly, causing further havoc. The Elder Brain screams in terror and pain (perhaps for the first time) as the death agonies of thousands of illithid hit it. The illithid attempt to blot out the sun is halted, at least for now, at least for a decade. All access to the illithid, through the Underdark, is not cut off ... half the Underdark has caved in. On the surface of Toril, gigantic Wild Magic storms from hell race across the surface of the world. Hurricane force winds topple whole forests, tear the roofs off buildings, drive people screaming for shelter. Crops are smashed flat in the fields. Multicolored lightning flickers and plays across the sky, occasionally blowing giant holes in the ground. Freak cold and heat waves hit all parts of the planet. Then the sky goes dark. The enormous cloud of dust raised by the destruction of Evermeet fills all of Toril's atmosphere, cutting off the sunlight and it's life giving warmth. Across Toril, it grows dark. Across Toril, it starts to grow cold.
