Not one of the old factions except the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Druids is working to repair this world, not even the best among you.&quot; At this Alzem turns his glare upon&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the Chosen, &quot;Instead you call everyone here to try to decide who was TO BLAME! Instead of trying to&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; gather everyone here to forge a new peace you bring them here in the pretense of judging them when&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; NONE OF YOU has the right to pass judgment upon another.&quot; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Yet you all plot and plan on ways to destroy your enemies, with weapons that now can wipe all the life&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; from this planet, with a power that if unleashed might even destroy our Island! You the ambassador to&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the City of Shadows, return home. There is no one power on this planet that can gain sole possession&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; of all its peoples, or enforce their will upon another without damaging this world, possible beyond&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; repair.&quot; Alzem now looks at the representative from the Drow. &quot;And you. Do you really think that you&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; have the power to subjugate any of the races anymore, you are now nothing more than a minor player&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; in this world, fit only to sulk and scheme in the background while others mold this world.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Alzem next closes his eyes and a soft and soothing glow emanates from him for a second, and all those&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; present feel a moment of sublime peace, then it is gone and the representative from the Deep Ilythiiri stands&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; in the room, no longer a proxy. &quot;As for you DO NOT think that you can block out the sun and not be&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; affected as well. You feel safe in your underground caves, protected from the devastation you would&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; visit upon the lands. KNOW THIS if you use your knowledge and block out the sun we shall rise up and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; shine like a light upon this world like there has never been before. Nowhere shall our light not&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; penetrate, your homes shall be lit from the power of our will, the people of the surface shall not freeze&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; by the heat of our conviction, and the land shall not wither for the rain of our tears.&quot; After this the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; representative vanishes by an action of Alzem's will.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;As for the elves, you among all the races are we the most disappointed. In the 40 years since the war&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; you have done little to ease this planets suffering, instead you hide behind your fortresses and plan&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; for power. Once again you hold in your grasp the power to destroy this world, but let me ask you, do&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; you have in your power the ability to save it? As for the faerie you are native to this land, and as such&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the land seems to need you, as a body needs blood to pass along its life force, but do you care? No,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; instead you wait until all others bow to your will, no compromise, no quarter. If this world dies because&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; of it then so be it you say, we gave them a chance. A chance at what to live life as slaves to your&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; desire, that is no way for a race such as yourselves to behave. As for the great good dragons, I can&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; not believe that they have condoned this, to risk the death of a world in order to save your view of how&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; this would MUST be.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Our Island it still a sanctuary for anyone who wishes to live in peace, and open to all. But understand&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; this, we also have not been idle for the last 40 years and our defenses are on par with none, do not&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; think to attack our home, for while we abhor needless violence we WILL protect those who wish to live&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; with us. Do not fear that we will have no room for you at the inn as it has been said, for we have&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; expanded our Island to fit all the peoples of this world, with any type of home you desire. We have&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; also been looking into a way for the weave to exist, sustaining itself not off the faerie but instead off&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the other natural people of this world. We would maintain the weave ourselves but we are not native&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; here, and as such can not do so with out sacrificing our essence into the weave, forever annihilating&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; ourselves, we have lost a few trying this.&quot; At this everyone can see a single tear fall down Alzem's face,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; falling to the floor, and causing the ground to become renewed with life. &quot;Also upon our Island we have felt&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; a new weave growing and upon this weave we hear the voice of millions of Humanoids talking, we&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; believe that a Psionic Weave has started to form. So our efforts for the repair of the failing weave has&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; fallen upon the humans, who it seems must carry this burden.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; edit: fixed formatting errors and removed .sig&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; [ December 03, 2001: Message edited by: Alzem Dalcama ]&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Posts: 532 | From: Gastonia, NC USA - Proud to be an AMERICAN | Registered: Jan 2001&nbsp; |&nbsp; IP: Logged &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; maddman75 &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Member &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Member # 3494 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; posted December 03, 2001 12:08 PM&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; Forrester, I'd gladly work with you again.

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; like to state that:&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; The conference in progress has attracted the direct attention of Ao.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Ao, himself, is coming to the conference.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Ao, intends to become a participant in the conference.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Ao wishes to discuss the situation, propose remedies, explore options, and look at future scenarios,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; just like all the rest of the emissaries and the Chosen.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; What Ao is NOT coming for is to:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Tell you what you must think.&nbsp; &nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; to do so.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Ao is perfectly happy if you decide upon grand world peace.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Ao, is content with whatever you do.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Ao, who has always been beyond the understanding of mortals, would appear to have a sense of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; curiousity.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Perhaps he is fascinated by the events that have unfolded.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; discussions, in which the future fate of Toril will probably be decided.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

When it clears, six cornugons stand around a tall&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; armored figure. The figure wears dark black armor and a blood red cape. Its face is obscured by a helmet,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; whose crest is a raven's claw clutching a human heart. The gauntleted hands of the figure remove the helm,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; revealing underneath the attractive, blonde-haired face of a young man. There is only one thing wrong with&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; this face--the eyes are a pair of dark inky pools, revealing not an iota of light. He glances around at the hall,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; until his eyes stop upon the Pit Fiend Lord. He then begins to speak. His voice is light and melodic.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 'Greetings to all. We are Baalzephon, of the Dark Eight.

If they are encountered&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; by any of our forces at a later date, they will be killed.'&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 'Lord Maddman and his followers stand accused of the following high crimes, against our most&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; absolute rule:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 1.

The crime of despoiling the name of the baaetzu to hitherto neutral parties.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; 6.

I am sorry to say this, but I doubt we can reach a good and rightous compromise as things are. Hazedil and I agree, we continue to live in peace, war is not something that interest me, but that does not mean that I will lay down everything I believe in and fought for, in the process. At this point I am actually doubting what the whole point of this process is, seems to me more a farce then having an actual purpose. I hope someone can convince me, this is worth time and trouble. -------------------- Alone is something we all are only far away voices breaks the silence whom wish to escape this labyrinth of loneliness we fumble our way, but finds nothing because here are no walls only the fear's angst keeps us apart Posts: 158 | From: Hvidovre, Denmark | Registered: Apr 2001 | IP: Logged Alzem Dalcama Member Member # 893 posted December 03, 2001 11:25 AM As Alzem looks up from the last of the transcripts he just shakes his head in bewilderment. "It seems even after all this time everyone here has not thought of the future. Not one of the old factions except the Druids is working to repair this world, not even the best among you." At this Alzem turns his glare upon the Chosen, "Instead you call everyone here to try to decide who was TO BLAME! Instead of trying to gather everyone here to forge a new peace you bring them here in the pretense of judging them when NONE OF YOU has the right to pass judgment upon another." "Yet you all plot and plan on ways to destroy your enemies, with weapons that now can wipe all the life from this planet, with a power that if unleashed might even destroy our Island! You the ambassador to the City of Shadows, return home. There is no one power on this planet that can gain sole possession of all its peoples, or enforce their will upon another without damaging this world, possible beyond repair." Alzem now looks at the representative from the Drow. "And you. Do you really think that you have the power to subjugate any of the races anymore, you are now nothing more than a minor player in this world, fit only to sulk and scheme in the background while others mold this world." Alzem next closes his eyes and a soft and soothing glow emanates from him for a second, and all those present feel a moment of sublime peace, then it is gone and the representative from the Deep Ilythiiri stands in the room, no longer a proxy. "As for you DO NOT think that you can block out the sun and not be affected as well. You feel safe in your underground caves, protected from the devastation you would visit upon the lands. KNOW THIS if you use your knowledge and block out the sun we shall rise up and shine like a light upon this world like there has never been before. Nowhere shall our light not penetrate, your homes shall be lit from the power of our will, the people of the surface shall not freeze by the heat of our conviction, and the land shall not wither for the rain of our tears." After this the representative vanishes by an action of Alzem's will. "As for the elves, you among all the races are we the most disappointed. In the 40 years since the war you have done little to ease this planets suffering, instead you hide behind your fortresses and plan for power. Once again you hold in your grasp the power to destroy this world, but let me ask you, do you have in your power the ability to save it? As for the faerie you are native to this land, and as such the land seems to need you, as a body needs blood to pass along its life force, but do you care? No, instead you wait until all others bow to your will, no compromise, no quarter. If this world dies because of it then so be it you say, we gave them a chance. A chance at what to live life as slaves to your desire, that is no way for a race such as yourselves to behave. As for the great good dragons, I can not believe that they have condoned this, to risk the death of a world in order to save your view of how this would MUST be." "Our Island it still a sanctuary for anyone who wishes to live in peace, and open to all. But understand this, we also have not been idle for the last 40 years and our defenses are on par with none, do not think to attack our home, for while we abhor needless violence we WILL protect those who wish to live with us. Do not fear that we will have no room for you at the inn as it has been said, for we have expanded our Island to fit all the peoples of this world, with any type of home you desire. We have also been looking into a way for the weave to exist, sustaining itself not off the faerie but instead off the other natural people of this world. We would maintain the weave ourselves but we are not native here, and as such can not do so with out sacrificing our essence into the weave, forever annihilating ourselves, we have lost a few trying this." At this everyone can see a single tear fall down Alzem's face, falling to the floor, and causing the ground to become renewed with life. "Also upon our Island we have felt a new weave growing and upon this weave we hear the voice of millions of Humanoids talking, we believe that a Psionic Weave has started to form. So our efforts for the repair of the failing weave has fallen upon the humans, who it seems must carry this burden." edit: fixed formatting errors and removed .sig [ December 03, 2001: Message edited by: Alzem Dalcama ] Posts: 532 | From: Gastonia, NC USA - Proud to be an AMERICAN | Registered: Jan 2001 | IP: Logged maddman75 Member Member # 3494 posted December 03, 2001 12:08 PM Forrester, I'd gladly work with you again. It was a beneficial arrangement to be sure. Don't worry about Iuz. An offhand comment is hardly a contract, and one can't really take anything that a demon says seriously, even a demon godling. In fact, I've spoken with my superiors, and they would be willing to commit Devil princes and other elder devils to the coming fight in exchange for your nuclear weapons. We only want them to kill demons. Surely you have no objection to demonic fortresses being turned into sheets of glass. It is clear that this will come to another conflict, and this discussion is pointless. My superiors want those weapons, and in exchange for them are willing to unleash the full forces of the Hells upon your enemies. Demons, Iuz, drow, illithid, even the celestials will not stand in our way of this power.

I have had a special request from a player, and will honor it. Before reading any of the new posts that have been written since I last perused this thread, I would like to state that: - - - The conference in progress has attracted the direct attention of Ao. Ao, himself, is coming to the conference. Ao, intends to become a participant in the conference. Ao wishes to discuss the situation, propose remedies, explore options, and look at future scenarios, just like all the rest of the emissaries and the Chosen. What Ao is NOT coming for is to: Tell you what you must think. Tell you what you must say. Tell you what you must do. Tell you what you must decide. Ao is perfectly happy to allow you to blow yourselves, and the world of Toril, to pieces if it so suits you to do so. Ao is perfectly happy if you decide upon grand world peace. Ao, is content with whatever you do. Ao, who has always been beyond the understanding of mortals, would appear to have a sense of curiousity. Perhaps he is fascinated by the events that have unfolded. Perhaps not. Whatever his reasons, he will be appearing, apparently, in the near future to participate in your discussions, in which the future fate of Toril will probably be decided.

Prior to that time, it was not known that Ao even existed by any but the Gods themselves. This will be only the second time in the history of Toril that Ao is appearing before the mortals. - - - Now, I will sit and read all the other posts, both on this thread and on another thread related to this one.

When it clears, six cornugons stand around a tall armored figure. The figure wears dark black armor and a blood red cape. Its face is obscured by a helmet, whose crest is a raven's claw clutching a human heart. The gauntleted hands of the figure remove the helm, revealing underneath the attractive, blonde-haired face of a young man. There is only one thing wrong with this face--the eyes are a pair of dark inky pools, revealing not an iota of light. He glances around at the hall, until his eyes stop upon the Pit Fiend Lord. He then begins to speak. His voice is light and melodic. 'Greetings to all. We are Baalzephon, of the Dark Eight. Our purpose here is simple--we are here to reveal our judgement on certain errant parties, under our jurisdiction.' Here he unrolls a large scroll. 'The Lord Maddman, and those who follow him, stand accused of crimes against the will of the Dark Eight, and the Nine Lords of Hell. They are hereby ordered to return within the hour of this announcement. Any who fail to return will be declared anathema to all who obey the wills of the Dark Eight, and the Nine Lords of Hell. They will be severed from the plane by Our Lord, Asmodeus, whose will is as law, and if they attempt to seek refuge there, they will be destroyed. If they are encountered by any of our forces at a later date, they will be killed.' 'Lord Maddman and his followers stand accused of the following high crimes, against our most absolute rule: 1. The crime of aiding and abbetting known allies of the tanar'i. 2. The crime of failing to maintain absolute loyalty to the Blood War. 3. The crime of failure to act in accordance of the terms of a contract. 4. The crime of destabilizing our rule, and the state of the baaetzu in general. 5. The crime of despoiling the name of the baaetzu to hitherto neutral parties. 6. The crime of failure to adjucate a reasonable price for services rendered.' 'All of these are most serious crimes against our unassailable rule. We recommend you contemplate the scope of your crimes against our august persons. Then, return, or accept a harsh, and pain-ridden exile.' With that he rolls up the scroll, and stares fixedly at the Pit Fiend Lord. (OOC: I'm sorry for bringing in the big guns, but I simply can't accept that all the devils of Hell, a group of notorious stickler for rules, governed by a passionate hatred of their rivals the demons, will simply ignore the fact that Humanoids violated their contract by accepting aid from Iuz, in return for weapons. This is after all, essentially giving weapons to the Tanar'i, and I know they wouldn't like that.)

I'm just not on often enough to play this. I'm wondering... Who's going to play Ao? And did anyone else notice Aplha omega? Also, frankly, I don't think Forrester is getting fair Power Level. He has a massive, massive conventional army of powerful psionicists trained in the use of explosive modern weaponry as well as precise nuclear missiles - He should have a total power level of AT LEAST 160.

That crunch noise is just SO satisfying, and the flying shards of bloody bone - Well, that's just icing on the cake. :D Posts: 1574 | Registered: Dec 2000 | IP: Logged Edena_of_Neith Member Member # 1235 posted December 03, 2001 07:03 PM I will first answer Aloisius: I am representing the Chosen of Mystra in this conference. I am also speaking for the kender emissary. I may end up having to speak for the elves. Other than that, I am speaking for nobody, representing nobody. I have interjected comments from some of the others for various purposes, but I do not represent them. It had been my hope, and it is still my hope, that others on this board will take interest in this thread, and choose to speak for some of these powers. The Technomancy (as far as I know, Reprisal) The Humanoid Alliance (Forrester) The Elven Alliance (Someone attempted to speak for them above. Nobody has spoken for the shade of Amlaruil) Zouron's Magocracy (Zouron) The Thri-Kreen Nations (Darwin of Mind) The Tuigan: 1 (?) The Nations of Kara-Tur (?) The Nations of Zakhara (Reprisal, since Zakhara is heavily behind the Technomancy - but not totally, another could speak for them also) The Phaerimm and Aboleth (?) The City of Shade: (?) The NeoIllithid: (Phasmus) The Deep Illithid: (Phasmus and Riot Gear) The Independent Dwarves: (?) The Independent Gnomes: (Gez) The Elves of Northern Maztica: (?) The Drow: (?) The Athian Immigrants (Darwin of Mind) Hope Island and it's Angels: (Alzem and Riot Gear) Bran's Druids: (Bran) The Church of Lathander (Aloisius) The Scro and Gith: (Gruffmug, were he to post ...) The Githyanki on Luna and elsewhere: (?) The Defilers: (Darwin of Mind) The Devils: 1 (someone above is representing them) Iuz and the Demons: 1 (Johnbrown) The Chosen of Mystra (myself) The Faerie and Dragons (Blood Jester) Ao (SN name unknown) Balor is in the conference, but I am not sure who he is representing. Madman is at the conference, and I am not sure who HE is representing. Rhialto appears to be an independent witness to the Court. - - - Of course, anyone is welcome to come in and represent any power. NOBODY has the right to stake out a power, and declare himself sole spokesman. There are disagreements within all the powers and races over what to do, what to think, and what they think will happen.
