[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 137957, member: 2020"] This was meant to be posted anonymously, and although I am overlate I am posting it now. I am sure this article will cause considerable confusion, but I must post what the players request I post. I cannot at this moment make a ruling on this post, except to say that Toril cannot be invaded - the Torilian Border Guard and the Angels, at this moment, are still strong enough to repel any attack. - - - A reverberating thunderclap is heard throughout the cosmos. Suddenly overhead of Toril darkness moves, the same one that was noticed before. As it searches the Universe there is a cold desire emanating from this horrid creature, a feeling of a purpose so dread that even Paladins shiver in fear. Once again it seeks its destination, but this one is well hidden, harder to find. In time some come to see what has caused this disturbance in their realm, they thought they were safe here. They were wrong. Suddenly one of the mages tries to halt this being, to send it back from where it had come from. Magic powerful enough to devastate worlds is launched to repel this invader from their space. Magic that just seems to pass right through it. Suddenly they know that the beast has noticed them, where before they were beneath its notice, now one of them has drawn its attention. [I]I had no quarrel with you, did not plan you any harm, and this is your only response? Well then you shall know the price of your arrogance, of your mistake, of your life.[/I] At this the shadow moved into the throng of wizards of every type that had arrayed themselves before it. Each of them casting the most powerful banishing and damaging spells they knew, but the creature is able to dodge all of them, and come through without injury. Passing amoung the assembled wizards hundreds are left dead in its wake, those that survive the initial onslaught try to flee but find their teleportation spells do not work. They then try to call for aid, but know that no one can hear them. [I]So where are you aggressive actions now? Why do you seek to run? Is this how you will stand at the last, when you know that you are doomed, will you run in fear, or do what you can, what you must?[/I] As soon as this is uttered the form seems to become enraged, tearing into the few remaining survivors with a savagery that they have never seen before. The skin is ripped of the living, as they are left to howl in torment, others feel every bone in their body shatter into a thousand pieces, as they scream their agony to the universe, but it does not answer, it does not care. Others still have their bodies untouched, it is their minds that are affected, pictures of torture and depravity so grim that they tear out their own eyes, but even that is not enough. They can still see it in the back of their minds. They then grab their daggers and ram them into their empty eye sockets, trying to dig those visions out of their minds, killing themselves in the process. After the last of the defenders are dead, and their souls captures, the creature moves on. Trailing a wake of darkness behind it. Soon it will find the one it seeks, soon it will have the answers it needs…. [/QUOTE]
