It suffices to say, I think you've missed some posts. Here's how I've seen the Irongate tale progress:1) Irongate calls for the help of the UC2) Acererak says he'll let half of them live if I don't interfere.3) I say that he should back down and allow me to evacuate Irongate completely. And if he doesn't, I'll crush him. 4) HE says that he is ACCEPTING MY ULTIMATUM. (After insulting me a few times <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> ). Then Turn 3 starts. 5) Edena posts that because Acererak pulls back, the people of Irongate ATTACK HIM! Which is just completely and totally incorrect -- the deal was he pulls back, I get them out over the next month. 6) Maudlin, as Acererak, correctly states that he's not going to go for being attacked, and says that he eats the forces going after him. 7) Edena states that Irongate falls, and Acererak eats hundreds of thousands of souls. BUT:8) When I bring up to Maudlin/Acererak that he broke his word, he says that he only attacked those attacking him (which shouldn't have happened in the first place). I think to myself fine, if some people left Irongate to go after you, fair enough, but I'm going to start the evacuation now. 9) He complains that the evacuation is going to take a whole month, but he'll deal with it. So basically Maudlin/Acererak and I have come to the understanding that:1) Irongate has not fallen, 2) He's pulled back (as long as he's not attacked, which he shouldn't be), and 3) I'm CURRENTLY evacuating the inhabitants, slowly, with teleportation circles. It should take a month, I figure. Not a quick process. . . . And then you post that the Angels are beating me up because I forsook Irongate. In fact, they mention it a few times. Never mind their hypocrisy for not interfering, but yelling at me for not intefering. Even though I did.  Never mind the fact that they yelled at me for asking them to protect Toril while I was on Oerth, because they thought I was being all warlike . . . and now, they're ordering me BACK to Oerth. The fact is that I saved Irongate by getting, through sheer diplomacy, Acererak to back down. Of course, now they're all sick and they'll all probably die horribly from the disease, but that's not the point. The point is, I didn't deserve the Angel abuse!!!Forrester</blockquote>
