[QUOTE="Uvenelei, post: 136848, member: 2533"] Oh crap. Things just keep getting more entertaining, don't they? I cut off all tech sharing with the Empire of Malachai. The last thing they get from my technicians aiding their research is a bill for services rendered. The amount requested is equivalent to the entirety of the Empire of the Bright Lands, to be payed at your convenience. I'd hurry up on payment if I were you, though; the interest's a [I] real [/I] bee-yatch. After dealing with this small unpleasantness, Aurican retreats to one of his lairs. There, surrounded by his great wealth in the form of huge heaps of precious metals and gems, artwork, and troves of magical items, he reverts to his true form. Stretched out in a large valley among the mountains of coins, he kneels down and places his long neck along the ground. The point of his beak-nose lays before a massive platinum altar, the size of a moderate human dwelling, covered in draconic runes. He murmers the words of a powerful prayer in draconic, his deep voice reverberating off the walls of the gigantic cave. After some time, he raises his head from off the ground and stares at a ghostly dragon, made of silvery whisps of ether, perching on the altar. " My Great and Wealthy Lord," Aurican intones as he gazes up at the figure of Bahamut. "I beseech of you, aid your children in these times. O Fount of All That is Holy and Expensive, hear me!" "Oerth, the mother of life and the storehouse for all that is Shiny and Worthy of Worship is dying, felled by a grevious wound. An evil disease has taken hold of the world, and it spreads even now, infecting the bodies and minds of the living. Even your children, the great dragonfolk, have been possesed by this vile cancer." "Many have rallied under a banner of Good, and have dedicated themselves to healing the world and restoring the peace and business of this world. However, I fear it will not be enough. The sickness is too powerful for us. We need your aid, o Platinum King. Please, let me bring your power into this world to save your children and the mortals of this world! Use me to heal this world! Make me your Chosen lest evil triumph!" As he cries out this last request to Bahamut, Aurican rears up and raises his head above the altar. He summons his will and exhales a white hot plume of flame in dedication to his lord. The apparition does nothing, moves nothing of itself, but Aurican knows that it is pleased. He returns his head to the ground. "Thank you, my Lord". Aurican raises his head once again, and looks around the cavern before turning his gaze to the still present spirit. "Say, Bright Lord, whadda ya know 'bout this Mina girl?" ------- For Edena to know and the rest of you to figure out: How long until the Red Army reaches the Blood Waste? Regardless, I'm going to start warming up my Groundpounders and readying them to move. I wish I didn't have to use them yet, but this takes precedence over their original use. However, I may use them for [I]that[/I] purpose, eventually... ;) Here's the NPC that I mentioned before, the one that weilds Wyrmstounge: Jade Harlyane (NPC, female High Elf, ranger 15 / fighter 15 / sorcerer 5 / Arcane Gunner 10 / Deepwood Marksman 10 / Order of the Rifle Initiate 10, neutral good) PL 2-3? The last three are Arcane Archer, Deepwood Sniper, and Order or the Bow Initiate, only with guns. Oerth's Revenge will be primed and ready to go, and Jade will be on standby. [/QUOTE]
