The gnomes, in concert with the humans (that'd be Buzzard, myself and Lannon), started to&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; battle back this war of Elven aggression.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The Elves were fighting for the environment, as were the Druids. The humans and the gnomes, under the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Banner of the Technocracy/Technomancy, believed that the Elves had no right in dictating what these&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; sovereign nations could do and could not do.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The war escalated, the Humanoids (Goblins, Orcs, Ogres, and what-not) joined our side, and we gave&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; them tech. This brought anyone against the humanoids against us. Someone on the humanoid side&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; summoned Devils and other fiends to help them, that brought in almost everyone else.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The Elves decided to invoke some spell that destroyed the balance of magic in the Realms, and it pretty&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; much pissed everyone off. Believing that they'd come out the victors after the Spell of Karsus or whatever,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; they just made it so that the illithids could take a piece of the surface world pie.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Things got bad, and we warred like nothing seen in the multiverse (well, maybe not the Blood War).&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Sooner than later, things got WAY out of hand, and the Technocracy lost the will to fight, seeing that we'd&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; win easily, or the world would be destroyed as a result.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Currently, we're at the bargaining table to hammer out an agreement. The Humanoids still want war, but&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; we, their allies, do not. We do not condone the use of Fiends as allies.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; That's it in a pinch, it's far more intricate than that, but hey, I'm a part of the Technocracy, we have other&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; things to do.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Rep.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; ------------------&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Intelligence in chains loses in lucidity what it gains in intensity.&quot; - Albert Camus &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; IP: Logged&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Riot Gear&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Member &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; posted 04-10-2001 05:58 PM&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I'm an Illithid diplomat to the surface world!

Now it's down to a matter of whether or not the fae races will remain on the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; planet, or if the Weave can be held together without their presence, which will decide whether or not&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; technology or magic reign on the planet... one or the other must go.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; It's worth reading the whole thing to see how it came this far. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; ------------------&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Kesh&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; IP: Logged&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Gruffmug&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Member &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; posted 04-11-2001 06:25 PM&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; I am leader of the Scro alliance consisting of githyanki, githzeral, Scro(humaniods), and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Thri-kreen(xixchil).

Well, nevermind. IP: Logged Edena_of_Neith Member posted 04-10-2001 05:45 PM I simply asked a theoretical question: I asked: What would you do if the gnomes of Toril had begun the industrial revolution? What would your characters do? My question is the first Post on the first page of the Thread. Everything that happened after that, every Post, is in direct response to that question.

When you check page 14 anbd read stuff like "power level", "illithid" and dwarf/gnome/whatever-hating, you become slightly confused if it transformed to something else... ------------------ / Psionicist - psi3e.rpgdot.com #exclude "football.h" IP: Logged Reprisal Member posted 04-10-2001 05:51 PM It's not a joke, actually, it's more akin to macro-Roleplaying. The premise is that the Gnomes ignited the Industrial Revolution, and Edena wanted to know what our PCs would do in such an occasion. It turned into something far greater from there... First off, advocates of the Elves and the Druids decided to start a war against such environmental atrocities. The gnomes, in concert with the humans (that'd be Buzzard, myself and Lannon), started to battle back this war of Elven aggression. The Elves were fighting for the environment, as were the Druids. The humans and the gnomes, under the Banner of the Technocracy/Technomancy, believed that the Elves had no right in dictating what these sovereign nations could do and could not do. The war escalated, the Humanoids (Goblins, Orcs, Ogres, and what-not) joined our side, and we gave them tech. This brought anyone against the humanoids against us. Someone on the humanoid side summoned Devils and other fiends to help them, that brought in almost everyone else. The Elves decided to invoke some spell that destroyed the balance of magic in the Realms, and it pretty much pissed everyone off. Believing that they'd come out the victors after the Spell of Karsus or whatever, they just made it so that the illithids could take a piece of the surface world pie. Things got bad, and we warred like nothing seen in the multiverse (well, maybe not the Blood War). Sooner than later, things got WAY out of hand, and the Technocracy lost the will to fight, seeing that we'd win easily, or the world would be destroyed as a result. Currently, we're at the bargaining table to hammer out an agreement. The Humanoids still want war, but we, their allies, do not. We do not condone the use of Fiends as allies. That's it in a pinch, it's far more intricate than that, but hey, I'm a part of the Technocracy, we have other things to do.

IP: Logged maddman75 Member posted 04-10-2001 08:08 PM This IS getting out of hand - there's a thread about the thread! For those interested, the war has grown to include fiends, celestials, psionicists and defilers from Athas, the Elven Imperial Navy from Realmspace, and Aerdy and Iuz of Oerth. Someone found Elminster and he's not very happy.... This really is a fascinating thread. If you have the time, read through it.

IP: Logged zouron Member posted 04-10-2001 08:31 PM I as a necromancer, first gathered wizards under my banner to preserve the nature of magic and research how tech and magic could function together and also how to gom in harmony with nature, then tried to create a hope of peace by forcing the sides to work together... but others intered the fray soo..., anyway mostly with drew for a time gathered resources. the elves casted that cursed spell of nullification so after that stopped I sent out my forceds to gather land and destroy the foolish elven sorcerers that had access to such a spell (unsuccessfully), being one of the weakest forces I haven't accomplished lots, but trying to establish a single country for the nature of magic, by allying with oputsiders, using undead and spellcasters. in a few alliances at the moment nothing big though IP: Logged Equinox Member posted 04-11-2001 03:21 PM Well we obviously know now what would happen if the gnomes invented the industrial revolution. *grabs trusty battle axe* time to kill some big-nosed halflings ------------------ I get violent when I'm not killing. IP: Logged Forrester Member posted 04-11-2001 03:29 PM What *happened* is that the humanoid hordes (led by yours truly) wiped out all of the elves on Toril. ALL of them. They got pissy and tried to destroy the world. When that failed, they decided to erase the thread, so that news of their defeat might be hidden from all. Well, nyeah, nyeah, nyeah.

Speaking as leader of the Elven forces, I will simply say that that was a somewhat skewed opinion.

Thanks to a noble sacrifice of a certain faction, the Weave binding Toril together was not only restored, but powered even stronger than before. This had the effect of not only killing all the Illithid planetside, but totally cut off the crystal sphere of the Realms from any form of travel the Illithids could manage. Now it's down to a matter of whether or not the fae races will remain on the planet, or if the Weave can be held together without their presence, which will decide whether or not technology or magic reign on the planet... one or the other must go. It's worth reading the whole thing to see how it came this far. ------------------ Kesh IP: Logged Gruffmug Member posted 04-11-2001 06:25 PM I am leader of the Scro alliance consisting of githyanki, githzeral, Scro(humaniods), and Thri-kreen(xixchil). We kicked much tail. We defeated the elves, gained vast knowledge in technology, magic and psionics. In fact, we had a influx of psions. We now control realmspace(grins) . The Elves have been paid back 5 fold for defeating us in the inhuman Wars. There are only small pockets of Elves in Realmspace, and they are living in caves, eating berries and fungus, and ducking for cover whenever a orc walks by . Talk about a role reversal. Soon we shall, finish humbling the illithiad, as the they have big heads and look like squids. Nok We are many, you are few the out come is certain [This message has been edited by Gruffmug (edited 04-11-2001).] IP: Logged maddman75 Member posted 04-12-2001 01:59 AM The most important long range result was the devils aquireing guns. Do you really want to contemplate a Pit Fiend with a Gatling gun? ------------------ "If I ever get a tumor I'm gonna name it Marla." IP: Logged Forrester Member posted 04-12-2001 02:45 AM I dunno about that . . . I think psionic kobolds with machine guns are a bit scarier. Before Edena's Campaign: One Pit Fiend >> 100 kobolds After Edena's Campaign: 100 psionic kobolds with machine guns >>> One Pit Fiend with a machine gun Not that we plan on warring against you, mighty fiends. We're the ones that supplied you the weaponry, after all . Forrester IP: Logged Estlor Member posted 04-12-2001 10:07 AM Let me say this much, Forrester - you're lucky Edena didn't give anyone time to react to anything. Because had Blood Jester been online, or had I been speaking for the elves, I sure know they would have attacked the minute you started soliciting help. At that point they still out-powered you ------------------ The Lighthouse Webmaster "More conversions, less talk."

Not my idea of worthwhile reading.
