What is your answer? You say oops sorry guess I didnt know the gun really was loaded.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; You expect us to believe this?&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Go get really close with the Demons over there. You might as well start now getting on their good&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; side. Even if what you said was true your actions still reeked on incredible recklessness that resulted in&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the murder of thousands and was the first overt act that started a World War.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;As to your comments about closing the plane. You fail to understand. The Lady of Pain IS the master&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; of all planar travel. Gods themselves cannot use a gate when she closes them. If she choses to close&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; of Toril due to you blasting yourself to bit you will find that all exits are blocked no matter where they&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; go.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; AS he speaks everyone notices that Moriartty's image never shifted due to the sphinx's action. It has&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; remained his own the entire time.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Did you think to veil an illusion with an illusion? Or did you think I would accept this job and then show&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; up on a condemned world in person? I am here to make the required statements for my employer. I&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; am doing so through this image controlled from my offie in Sigil. I must say though that the rest of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; you really should take a look in the mirror. I don't know what is more ironic, how you look, or the fact&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; that a group looking as you do has the power to destroy this world.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; As he says this Moriartty walks over to his chair and sits down chuckling to himself.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; quote:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Originally posted by Gez:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; *The ambassador's image turn to the Tiefling*&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Well, Mister Moriartty, there are some things that you should know about the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Shadowdale tragedy. First, we have *not* nuked Shadowdale, it just seems we have.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Here is the true story. After the sabotage and assassinations made by the harpers, we&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; decided to eliminate the head of the terrorist to disrupt his evil organization and disrupt&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; further acts of terrorism. We used a True Ritual that could be described as a Supreme&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Greater Phantasmal Killer, that was aimed specifically at Elminster. Noone else. But&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; something has gone wrong. It appears Elminster's greatest fear was that we used the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; nuke on Shadowdale, and that is what he's seen. However, and Mystra is to blame for&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; that, it seems that magic don't works normally when dealing with Chosen. (mutters&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; something about &quot;immunity to timestop and other bogus rules&quot;.) So, rather than&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; simply frightening Elminster to death, this resulted in an actual nuclear warhead&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; exploding on Shadowdale. And the irony is that Elminster survived the blast. As for us&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; being &quot;friendly&quot; with devils and demons, I would only say that shows you don't know us&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; very much. This is comprehensible, I doubt you could find any people with gnome blood&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; in your... extended family; so I excuse you of being so ignorant.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;As for the closing of the gates, don't know if that will be really efficient. Planar travel&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; is still possible through the Astral or Shadow planes, or two the myriads of demiplanes&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; that exist on Toril, some of which are connected to other full-fledged planes.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Posts: 135 | From: Chicago burbs | Registered: Nov 2001&nbsp; |&nbsp; IP: Logged &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Aloïsius &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Member &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Member # 2977 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; posted December 04, 2001 01:53 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;&nbsp; quote:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Originally posted by Rhialto the Marvellous:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Rhialto replies;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; This is true.

Gods themselves cannot use a gate when she closes&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; them. If she choses to close of Toril due to you blasting yourself to bit you will find that&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; all exits are blocked no matter where they go.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Sure, The Lady of Pain hold great power in HER cosmic system. But Toril cosmic system is NOT the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; great wheel, and the Astral plane does not connect us to the outland. You have to travel through the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Shadow Plane, or use Shadow gate to reach Toril from Sigil and the others plane of the Great Wheel.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Here, only Ao rule supreme, and Shaundakul and Eilistrae have dominions on Portals and Gates. So, if&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the gates from Sigil are closed, be sure that those between Toril, and the House of Nature, Heliopolis,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the House of the Triad or the Supreme Throne are not.&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; Third edition only&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Posts: 345 | From: Montpellier, France | Registered: Mar 2001&nbsp; |&nbsp; IP: Logged &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Aloïsius &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Member &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Member # 2977 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; posted December 04, 2001 02:39 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; Reprisal, I think the commonwealth will soon be created. Do you accept our proposition of creating a&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; moving Parliament ? If yes, do you prefer a magicaly flying land, or one based on our floating forests&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; ? We are able to produce both, but the former is perhaps unsecure if the magic goes wild, but is&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; otherwise classical, while the latter may look too err... elvish and disturbing for the taste of some of&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the commonwealth citizen but doesn't rely on magic since it use naturally air-buoyant plants filled with&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; nonflamable gas. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Posts: 345 | From: Montpellier, France | Registered: Mar 2001&nbsp; |&nbsp; IP: Logged &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Gez &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Member &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Member # 444 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; posted December 04, 2001 03:29 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; &quot;Mister Moriartty, we are sorry for your son, as well as for all other victims of the Shadowdale tragedy,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; but you should understand that this war an incomprehensible error, something that simply wasn't&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; wanted. If we'd knew what would be the outcome of the illusion magic that was employed, we wouldn't&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; have used this.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; ((OOC: The nuking of Shadowdale was made while Edena played the Gnomes. I would never have&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; made this move myself if I had took control of the gnomes at this time. It was just a silly and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; ineffective idea whatever the way you look at it, so I'm trying to repair that with a quite silly&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; explanation, that allows me, by the way, to put out a minor gripe I have with the FR (Elminster's bogus&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; rules). I don't change what has happened, as it wouldn't be fair, I just give a new way of how it has&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; happened. From outside perspective, this change nothing.))&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Hazedil, don't call that creature stupid. He's the less stupid beings of all who've been in this room for&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the past five centuries.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;For the flying city, we propose both. We Gnomes simply don't think a ghettoised commonwealth will&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; give a real chance to peace. People should live together, see each other in their day-to-day life.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Otherwise, they will project their frustrations and ignorance on a phantasmed image of the Other, and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; quickly make them scapegoats. This in turns will cause new racial hatreds to burst. What I propose is&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; that the flying city that will hold the World Council, let's call it Avenir, will be as cosmopolitan as&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; possible.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; It should have trees, caves, surface buildings, even small lakes. It should be a miniature of the world,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Toril in a nutshell, a very symbol of what Toril is. Magic will be necessary to hold it, but if a magic&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; accident happens, natural buyancy should allow it to land slowly, as if it were featherfalled.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Our space-scientist have developed several lightweight but strong as adamantine materials that could&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; be used for most of the foundations. The natural balloons will be assisted by artificial ones, that will be&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; concealed in the city. The outlook of the city could be made to look as neutral as possible, with trees,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; artificial rivers, grottos and buildings all intermingled in an indiscociable fashion. As I speak, our&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; designers have already started the conceptual research. I suggest you to give that computrans&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; number to your fellows lathanderites, the one that are responsible for the flying cities project. Everyone&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; interested in the effort should contact our team.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; *The Computrans adress appears in big, golden holographic letters near a wall.*&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; *The gnome ambassador looks at Queen Aumlaruil and sees that her look is shifting back to normal*&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;I really hope someone will make a fair and truly noble move to save peace and life. I think someone&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; is close to admit that vengeance, hatred and spite won't undo the tragedy nor revive the dead --&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; although magic can, if the slaadi were polite enough to suppress their wild magic silliness, you can't&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; rebuild a world when your tools don't obey you--, and will take the decision of life, hope, and renewal&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; rather than the one of bloodshed, damnation and despair.

A prophecy it's always so cute !&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; - It depends. Sometimes, it's about destroying the world...&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; From the Dungeon of Naheulbeuk, a pretty silly MP3 adventure.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Posts: 1472 | From: Somewhere in France | Registered: Dec 2000&nbsp; |&nbsp; IP: Logged &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Semirhage &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Member &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Member # 8099 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; posted December 04, 2001 04:14 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; Valkys shakes his head, &quot;This is ridiculous. If each and every power, meagre or mighty in the cosmos&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; decides to implement their own version of a forced peace, there will be no satisfactory resolution.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Immortals can force a peace. The Slaadi are attempting it. Sigil is attempting it.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;All that any of you will accomplish is the creation of resentment, which is hardly against my&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; philosophy. And I hardly care about the gnomish idea of 'laws of science'. I ask the gnomish&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; ambassador to consider: If gravity can be different, cannot science also be different? In Faerie, your&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; cherished science functions at such a reduced level that it is nonexistent.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;But I digress. By forcing this peace, or any change, you only invite more conflict. Ask the Demons. I'm&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; sure they'll agree. The key to a happy ending,&quot; and he makes a face of disgust, &quot;is to keep the&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; conflict contained to Toril, not spread it to every plane and turn Toril into an interplanar battlefield.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;I suggest that the Slaadi remove their chaotic enchantment and stay out of this. The mortals and&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; those party to the actual conflict must be the ones to reach an agreement.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The Slaadi invite every force in the cosmos who disagrees with their methods to bring their power to&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; bear to alter this suppression of free will. &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The majority of you have advocated an end based upon a free decision by the 'residents' of Toril. The&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Unseelie were residents of Toril, just as the Seelie were residents. All of the Fey are currently in&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; self-imposed exile for their own protection, but Serran and myself are sent as representatives.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; So far, none of the extraplanar delegates have been willing to actually 'allow' a resolution that isn't&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; forced. I am not requesting that you leave, only that you let events and diplomacy take their proper&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; course. Too many non-torilean interests are represented, those who have no rightful say in events on&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; this world. Stay out of it, for you only invite others to do the same.&quot; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Posts: 31 | Registered: Oct 2001&nbsp; |&nbsp; IP: Logged &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Riot Gear &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Member &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Member # 202 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; posted December 04, 2001 04:27 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; &quot;This interference in Torillian affairs is completely unacceptable.

And you, halfling, shut up.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; In a typical show of Eladrin individualism and boldness, he transforms the Halfling in to an Elf/Orc&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; hybrid.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;You've become the worst of those you hate. If I were the halflings I would send a new, cooler headed&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; deligate.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; He turns to the Phaerimm.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;I, personally, think that the Gnomes have the right idea. We will bring about transportation back to&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; your home plane if necessary.

Not only do you radiate goodness,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; but you manage to do so even in that hideous form you have taken. I've never wanted to vomit so&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; much in my existence. I'd suggest you not keep the form too long though, someone could hit you on&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the back, and then your face would be stuck that way.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;And I don't think you should force the Phaerimm to live. After all, they are reisdents of Toril.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;I am a diplomat, as we should all be. A compromise is in order. It can't be forced in any way.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Destroying the weapons of war will not solve the problem, only prolong the outcome.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Faerie will not be destroyed if Toril is, but the repercussions would be unpleasant and I do not wish to&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; see anything happen to my homeland. None of you do. In their own way, even the demons love their&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Abyss. *I* can find things to like about it.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; He shudders, &quot;Tolerance is all that is needed, because...&quot; and he shivers violently, &quot;acceptance is not&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; going to come overnight. Contrary to what the Eladrin's new form suggests, elves are never going to&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; breed with orcs. Note, I am restraining myself from suggesting that orcs are inferior in any way to&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; elves. Someone might say it, but *I* have not said it. I refrain from this in order to foster a&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; settlement equitable to all parties in this situation.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;Let's just carve up Faerun and create magical boundaries. I'm sure the phaerimm can adapt to that.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; They were bound for quite some time by the sharn. After all, the 'animals' would still have large cages,&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; almost as big as the cage that the phaerimm would get.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Valkys looks around, &quot;The last bit was a joke, naturally.&quot; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Posts: 31 | Registered: Oct 2001&nbsp; |&nbsp; IP: Logged &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Edena_of_Neith &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Member &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Member # 1235 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; posted December 04, 2001 05:11 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; Gez, who represents the Gnomes, has asked me to post his message, which goes as follows:&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; The Ambassador of the Gnomes project his image again.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; &quot;If the representative assembled here can offer full safety for our people, &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; the Gnomes may come back to Toril. It would be a good news for everyone, as &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Gnomes, like Elves, have some measure of Fey blood and their renewed presence &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; would slow down the weakening of the Weave.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; We offer to join the Technocratic Commonwealth, however we urge it to not &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; join a &quot;new Netherese Commonwealth&quot;. The Netheril showed much recklessness in &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; their researches, and this ended up threatening the homeplane of the &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Phaerimm. This in turn caused much problems here, and we don't want that &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; history to be repeated.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; If there is no deception in her words, we accept Aumlaruil's conditions. We &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; Gnomes never had problems with elves until the sabotages that started the &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; war. If the Elves don't repeat their mistake, we thankfully accept their &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; peace.&quot;&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;

[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 1304738, member: 2020"] [b](Post 17) The Second IR[/b] DocMoriartty Member Member # 8593 posted December 04, 2001 01:53 PM Moriartty stands anger rolling off him in waves that are almost visible. "So you readily admit that you caused the destruction that murdered my son and everyone in Shadowdale. What is your answer? You say oops sorry guess I didnt know the gun really was loaded. You expect us to believe this?" "Go get really close with the Demons over there. You might as well start now getting on their good side. Even if what you said was true your actions still reeked on incredible recklessness that resulted in the murder of thousands and was the first overt act that started a World War." "As to your comments about closing the plane. You fail to understand. The Lady of Pain IS the master of all planar travel. Gods themselves cannot use a gate when she closes them. If she choses to close of Toril due to you blasting yourself to bit you will find that all exits are blocked no matter where they go." AS he speaks everyone notices that Moriartty's image never shifted due to the sphinx's action. It has remained his own the entire time. "Did you think to veil an illusion with an illusion? Or did you think I would accept this job and then show up on a condemned world in person? I am here to make the required statements for my employer. I am doing so through this image controlled from my offie in Sigil. I must say though that the rest of you really should take a look in the mirror. I don't know what is more ironic, how you look, or the fact that a group looking as you do has the power to destroy this world." As he says this Moriartty walks over to his chair and sits down chuckling to himself. quote: Originally posted by Gez: *The ambassador's image turn to the Tiefling* "Well, Mister Moriartty, there are some things that you should know about the Shadowdale tragedy. First, we have *not* nuked Shadowdale, it just seems we have. Here is the true story. After the sabotage and assassinations made by the harpers, we decided to eliminate the head of the terrorist to disrupt his evil organization and disrupt further acts of terrorism. We used a True Ritual that could be described as a Supreme Greater Phantasmal Killer, that was aimed specifically at Elminster. Noone else. But something has gone wrong. It appears Elminster's greatest fear was that we used the nuke on Shadowdale, and that is what he's seen. However, and Mystra is to blame for that, it seems that magic don't works normally when dealing with Chosen. (mutters something about "immunity to timestop and other bogus rules".) So, rather than simply frightening Elminster to death, this resulted in an actual nuclear warhead exploding on Shadowdale. And the irony is that Elminster survived the blast. As for us being "friendly" with devils and demons, I would only say that shows you don't know us very much. This is comprehensible, I doubt you could find any people with gnome blood in your... extended family; so I excuse you of being so ignorant." "As for the closing of the gates, don't know if that will be really efficient. Planar travel is still possible through the Astral or Shadow planes, or two the myriads of demiplanes that exist on Toril, some of which are connected to other full-fledged planes."

The Humanoids know about you now, and somehow, I think they are going to want to finish what they started. Hazedil smiles "The few remaining elves-I means those from Toril, not the exhile from Mystara- are under the protection of Lathander's Church. And the majority of Lathander followers reside in the human lands of the Technocracy. An agression against Lathanderite owned flying cities will imply an attack on Technocratic citizen..." Then he hears the Gnome's speach. "I too recognize a lie : Shadowdale was nuked volontarily, and by the way, this stupid illusory sphinx and the associatives illusions are not a good idea, since they will only enrage their targets."

But Toril cosmic system is NOT the great wheel, and the Astral plane does not connect us to the outland. You have to travel through the Shadow Plane, or use Shadow gate to reach Toril from Sigil and the others plane of the Great Wheel. Here, only Ao rule supreme, and Shaundakul and Eilistrae have dominions on Portals and Gates. So, if the gates from Sigil are closed, be sure that those between Toril, and the House of Nature, Heliopolis, the House of the Triad or the Supreme Throne are not. ----- Third edition only Posts: 345 | From: Montpellier, France | Registered: Mar 2001 | IP: Logged Aloïsius Member Member # 2977 posted December 04, 2001 02:39 PM Reprisal, I think the commonwealth will soon be created. Do you accept our proposition of creating a moving Parliament ? If yes, do you prefer a magicaly flying land, or one based on our floating forests ? We are able to produce both, but the former is perhaps unsecure if the magic goes wild, but is otherwise classical, while the latter may look too err... elvish and disturbing for the taste of some of the commonwealth citizen but doesn't rely on magic since it use naturally air-buoyant plants filled with nonflamable gas.

If we'd knew what would be the outcome of the illusion magic that was employed, we wouldn't have used this." ((OOC: The nuking of Shadowdale was made while Edena played the Gnomes. I would never have made this move myself if I had took control of the gnomes at this time. It was just a silly and ineffective idea whatever the way you look at it, so I'm trying to repair that with a quite silly explanation, that allows me, by the way, to put out a minor gripe I have with the FR (Elminster's bogus rules). I don't change what has happened, as it wouldn't be fair, I just give a new way of how it has happened. From outside perspective, this change nothing.)) "Hazedil, don't call that creature stupid. He's the less stupid beings of all who've been in this room for the past five centuries." "For the flying city, we propose both. We Gnomes simply don't think a ghettoised commonwealth will give a real chance to peace. People should live together, see each other in their day-to-day life. Otherwise, they will project their frustrations and ignorance on a phantasmed image of the Other, and quickly make them scapegoats. This in turns will cause new racial hatreds to burst. What I propose is that the flying city that will hold the World Council, let's call it Avenir, will be as cosmopolitan as possible. It should have trees, caves, surface buildings, even small lakes. It should be a miniature of the world, Toril in a nutshell, a very symbol of what Toril is. Magic will be necessary to hold it, but if a magic accident happens, natural buyancy should allow it to land slowly, as if it were featherfalled. Our space-scientist have developed several lightweight but strong as adamantine materials that could be used for most of the foundations. The natural balloons will be assisted by artificial ones, that will be concealed in the city. The outlook of the city could be made to look as neutral as possible, with trees, artificial rivers, grottos and buildings all intermingled in an indiscociable fashion. As I speak, our designers have already started the conceptual research. I suggest you to give that computrans number to your fellows lathanderites, the one that are responsible for the flying cities project. Everyone interested in the effort should contact our team. *The Computrans adress appears in big, golden holographic letters near a wall.* *The gnome ambassador looks at Queen Aumlaruil and sees that her look is shifting back to normal* "I really hope someone will make a fair and truly noble move to save peace and life. I think someone is close to admit that vengeance, hatred and spite won't undo the tragedy nor revive the dead -- although magic can, if the slaadi were polite enough to suppress their wild magic silliness, you can't rebuild a world when your tools don't obey you--, and will take the decision of life, hope, and renewal rather than the one of bloodshed, damnation and despair. I sense a good news approaching." *Look at Forrester, who seems blurred, as between two states* "I even hope two good news will be announced. -------------------- "What's our mission ? - We must get the last of the Twelve Statuettes of Gladolfera. - A statuette ? - It is written on the Tablets of Syeloss that only an one-legged gnome from the northern forests, dancing by starlight during a full moon in the middle of the Twelves Statuettes wrapped in ham would open the Gate of Zoralback and fulfill the Prophecy. - But what is that strange prophecy ? - No idea. We're motivated by wealth. - Nevermind. A prophecy it's always so cute ! - It depends. Sometimes, it's about destroying the world..." From the Dungeon of Naheulbeuk, a pretty silly MP3 adventure.

If each and every power, meagre or mighty in the cosmos decides to implement their own version of a forced peace, there will be no satisfactory resolution. Immortals can force a peace. The Slaadi are attempting it. Sigil is attempting it." "All that any of you will accomplish is the creation of resentment, which is hardly against my philosophy. And I hardly care about the gnomish idea of 'laws of science'. I ask the gnomish ambassador to consider: If gravity can be different, cannot science also be different? In Faerie, your cherished science functions at such a reduced level that it is nonexistent." "But I digress. By forcing this peace, or any change, you only invite more conflict. Ask the Demons. I'm sure they'll agree. The key to a happy ending," and he makes a face of disgust, "is to keep the conflict contained to Toril, not spread it to every plane and turn Toril into an interplanar battlefield." "I suggest that the Slaadi remove their chaotic enchantment and stay out of this. The mortals and those party to the actual conflict must be the ones to reach an agreement. The Slaadi invite every force in the cosmos who disagrees with their methods to bring their power to bear to alter this suppression of free will. The majority of you have advocated an end based upon a free decision by the 'residents' of Toril. The Unseelie were residents of Toril, just as the Seelie were residents. All of the Fey are currently in self-imposed exile for their own protection, but Serran and myself are sent as representatives. So far, none of the extraplanar delegates have been willing to actually 'allow' a resolution that isn't forced. I am not requesting that you leave, only that you let events and diplomacy take their proper course. Too many non-torilean interests are represented, those who have no rightful say in events on this world. Stay out of it, for you only invite others to do the same."

Slaazor, we demand you recall this at once. If necessary, we WILL repay you for magics wasted. And you, halfling, shut up." In a typical show of Eladrin individualism and boldness, he transforms the Halfling in to an Elf/Orc hybrid. "You've become the worst of those you hate. If I were the halflings I would send a new, cooler headed deligate." He turns to the Phaerimm. "I, personally, think that the Gnomes have the right idea. We will bring about transportation back to your home plane if necessary. This is, as the gnome said, Animal Farm." -------------------- ------- I love maces, I really do.

Not only do you radiate goodness, but you manage to do so even in that hideous form you have taken. I've never wanted to vomit so much in my existence. I'd suggest you not keep the form too long though, someone could hit you on the back, and then your face would be stuck that way." "And I don't think you should force the Phaerimm to live. After all, they are reisdents of Toril." "I am a diplomat, as we should all be. A compromise is in order. It can't be forced in any way. Destroying the weapons of war will not solve the problem, only prolong the outcome." "Faerie will not be destroyed if Toril is, but the repercussions would be unpleasant and I do not wish to see anything happen to my homeland. None of you do. In their own way, even the demons love their Abyss. *I* can find things to like about it." He shudders, "Tolerance is all that is needed, because..." and he shivers violently, "acceptance is not going to come overnight. Contrary to what the Eladrin's new form suggests, elves are never going to breed with orcs. Note, I am restraining myself from suggesting that orcs are inferior in any way to elves. Someone might say it, but *I* have not said it. I refrain from this in order to foster a settlement equitable to all parties in this situation." "Let's just carve up Faerun and create magical boundaries. I'm sure the phaerimm can adapt to that. They were bound for quite some time by the sharn. After all, the 'animals' would still have large cages, almost as big as the cage that the phaerimm would get." Valkys looks around, "The last bit was a joke, naturally."

"If the representative assembled here can offer full safety for our people, the Gnomes may come back to Toril. It would be a good news for everyone, as Gnomes, like Elves, have some measure of Fey blood and their renewed presence would slow down the weakening of the Weave. We offer to join the Technocratic Commonwealth, however we urge it to not join a "new Netherese Commonwealth". The Netheril showed much recklessness in their researches, and this ended up threatening the homeplane of the Phaerimm. This in turn caused much problems here, and we don't want that history to be repeated. If there is no deception in her words, we accept Aumlaruil's conditions. We Gnomes never had problems with elves until the sabotages that started the war. If the Elves don't repeat their mistake, we thankfully accept their peace." --------------------------- --------------------------- Out of the thread: you should edit your post with Aumlaruil's speech: "How will I enforce this decree? This is how ... The shade of !?Alustriel?! gestures, and a power -not yet mentioned on this board - is seen by all as if from a great distance. For the spirits of the elves did not retreat to Arvandor in peace, after the Cataclysm - they remained in undeath upon Toril, and until now they have been quiescient, asleep."

We wish no hostilities with anyone, which means we cannot ally with anyone, for all of you have enemies. I've said: "If the representative assembled here can offer full safety for our people, the Gnomes may come back to Toril. It would be a good news for everyone, as Gnomes, like Elves, have some measure of Fey blood and their renewed presence would slow down the weakening of the Weave. We offer to join the Technocratic Commonwealth, however we urge it to not join a "new Netherese Commonwealth". The Netheril showed much recklessness in their researches, and this ended up threatening the homeplane of the Phaerimm. This in turn caused much problems here, and we don't want that history to be repeated. If there is no deception in her words, we accept Aumlaruil's conditions. We Gnomes never had problems with elves until the sabotages that started the war. If the Elves don't repeat their mistake, we thankfully accept their peace." ? )) Posts: 1566 | From: Michigan, United States | Registered: Jan 2001 | IP: Logged Riot Gear Member Member # 202 posted December 04, 2001 05:13 PM The eladrin waves off the comment, returning to his normal form. "It was only a suggestion. I'm not saying we should force them. I'm just saying that it seems like a good idea for all involved." He muses on the suggestion of massive magical boundaries. "No good. Space travel means there's nothing stopping them from 'jumping the fence,' so to speak." He turns to the Kender. "We can't in good conscience rule over you. That isn't our role. BUT, we have more leeway over this dimension than others. If a disposal of weapons is ever needed, we are more than capable of obliterating them quickly and safely by shunting them to the Energy Planes." -------------------- ------- I love maces, I really do. 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 04, 2001 05:42 PM (this post moved) [ December 04, 2001: Message edited by: Edena_of_Neith ] Posts: 1566 | From: Michigan, United States | Registered: Jan 2001 | IP: Logged [/QUOTE]
