Edena, since you didn't answer my above question, I emailed my template to you already (several hours ago), but if you haven't gotten it, would you like me to email you again?

Deep within the ranks of the armies of the Dark Union…
----------
Kas looked around. His eyes falling over the proud warriors of the Dark Union. The same Dark Union that he ruled jointly with the God Emperor. The soldiers stretched on for miles after miles, all eager for the fight they knew would be happening soon.
Indeed, even Kas himself was eager for the battle, having last fought against the legions of Vecna. He was curious as to how much of a challenge these new enemies would provide.
Suddenly, a messenger came up to Kas from the temporary command post.
"Sir! Sir! We have just received news from the scouts. It seems that some sort of primal wave of energy is sweeping through Acererak's host. Leaving udead as dust, or crippled wherever it passes through."
Kas turned his attention southward. Indeed, he could see it now, a light, bright enough to be seen these many miles away, sweeping through the southern lands of Acererak.
Truly, he thought to himself, this is an omen of victory and future glory for the Dark Union. Only minutes earlier they had sealed a deal with the former Underdark Alliance, giving the Dark Union the lands of the Crystalmists, the Hellfurnaces, Rauxes, and the Yuan-ti's old Empire. Not only that, but he was eager to get his hands on the promised ashes of Vecna's Phylactery. He would finally be rid of the old fool. And all for a passage to the shade, unmolested. It was a bargain.
Suddenely, the strange light from Acererak's lands went out. Kas had seen this before, he recognized the sheer power of the 10th level magic that must have been needed to accomplish this. Now would be their time to strike.
Looking over the assembled army of the Dark Union, he dispatched orders to the commanders of the various units telepathically.
Soon, the call went up amongst the troops as they began to march.
"For victory! For Dark Union! For the God-Emperor! Onward!"
And thus, the forces of the Dark Union swept southward, like a dagger, straight into the lands of Acererak.
At the same time, the Dark Union armies in Dullstrand and the Shauhagin Empire began their own offensives against Acererak's territory.
Using tactics that had been perfected through hundreds of years of warfare, the armies moved, coordinated to the point of a single organism, devoted in thought to the Dark Union, devoted in heart to the Dark Union, and devoted in battle to the Dark Union.
-----
OOC: What this means: As soon as the catastrophe has ended, 220PL of armies, including Kas and his legions, is moving south from Ahlissa into Acererak's territory (the 5 PL remaining is being used to garrison, this means the 28PL of special troops origionally stationed there is going with the army, the 5PL remaining are regulars). Also, 45PL from Dullstrand is striking East into Acererak's lands. The final force is composed of 35 PL from the Shauhigan Empire striking at the Lordship of the Isles, then moving south. Once they have conquered Acererak's lands there, they will be striking at the Scarlet Brotherhood east of their position. One final tactical note, when we have located the tomb of horrors, our forces will not enter, but bombard it from the outside, knowing of its rather nasty history. Also, we will set up a nice ambush for anything that decides it wants to die on the outside fighting us, rather than on the inside while we pelt it with ranged attacks.
Also, it means that the deal with Kalanyr has gone through. Go ahead Kal, do your best. And remember, Kas wants all of the ashes of Vecna's Phylactery, not just some of them.

To Mr Draco/Serpenteyes
Sanctus Punitor,
Kas... ironic brother... enemy who I let rest on my busom... When You March on the Shade, My Forces will follow you through your territory for the attack. The Delrunian Army will march with you, in mass, to attack the Shade...
To Sollir Furryfoot,
The goo in your lands... I will help you treat it to the best of my abilities. Do you ask me for my assistance?

MR Draco/Serpenteyes,
The Delrunian Army is marching through your lands (as non-violently as a lawful good alligned army can, which is means you might not even notice a bent peace of grass if you tried to find it). This should be quite a large force, however. We are attacking the Shade with the Delrunian Army... Should take a couple days to walk there...
But Dagnabit, I am attacking the Shade...
But not directly and immediately. My forces are going to entrench outside the Shadow throne with our trebuchets and fire into the territory. We are going to cause structural Damage First, and attempt to force their forces to attack us. If they refuse to attack us, then we press into their territory another 10 miles each day and set up a new line. If we get in range of Grayhawk then you can expect to see many large (possibly magically enhanced) boulders flying into the city.
To Sollir,
I am not sure what we can do about the red goo... if it starts to threaten your people I will supply refugee camps in my attached counties. I think the only solution is OOC- the research of 11th level magic...
I guess we could put a cumulative force into researching it if we have to... I'm not sure what to do.
To Edena,
Here is a list of my NPC's (It includes 16 PL worth... I'm not sure if I should count Tenser against my total, so take the last person off the list if I am limited to 15 PL.) I have some stat blocks for ALL of them if you want... but why throw so much clutter into a post? If I get these forces at this turn I explain that all of them are adventurers who have been with Sanctus Punitor and we are all good friends (some very unlikely friends as well). These NPC's are staying in my capital for now, because I want to give them a few days to get comfortable in their new quarters. We are also forming a Round Table if anyone wants to join it, just submit your resume.
Cadaudric, male human Rog19/Sor11: CR 30; PL1;
Etendaldan, male elf (wild) Sor14/Ftr6: CR 20; PL1;
Baeron, male aasimar Pal19/Ftr11: CR 30; PL1;
Abireder, female half-elf Ftr30: CR 30; PL1;
Legoabaen, female human Ftr13/Rgr7: CR 20; PL1;
Elirab, male elf (wood) Rgr15/Ftr15: CR 30; PL1;
Rhaywyn, female gnome (svirfneblin) Wiz30: CR 31; PL1;
Thoch, male gnome (rock) Drd19/Rog11: CR 30; PL1;
Lum, male giant, storm Sor13/Rog7: CR 33; PL1;
Brohagan, male dwarf (hill) Ftr15/Sor15: CR 30; PL1;
Choredan, male gnome (rock) Wiz15/Rgr15: CR 30; PL1;
Nydoiwyn, male halfling (deep) Rog14/Rgr6: CR 20; PL1;
Eloat, male aasimar Ftr17/Drd13: CR 30; PL1;
Weritram, male gnome (forest) Wiz17/Bbn13: CR 30; PL1;
Astelikin, male elf (aquatic) Brd18/Drd12: CR 30; PL1;
Laroit, female elf (high) Wiz19/Brd11: CR 30; PL1;
*Anyone who wants to join my round table... you are welcome to. If you would like to form your own in your country and consider our orders rivals or allies thats fine.
**The Tournament in Delrune will take place either durring the next non-combat half of a turn or next turn.
