(IR) The 3rd IR, Turn 6 (thread 3)

[Creamsteak]

If the tattered remains of your insignificant armies enter into the territory of the Union of Oerth you will be destroyed. I really doubt that most of your allies would aid you in your unprovoked attack.

Hey Serpenteyes... if Iuz hadn't been such a frickin pain I would join in with Kal just because I am pretty frickin angry that you didn't send anything to fight.

HELL the way Edena ruled on it, apparently you could have sent your whole army at the Red Goo and taken no damage... (see above confusing post).

 

[Black Omega]

Impressive, Destructive. And I think it's about time Ana and Forrester quit working together.
-------------------------------------------------------
Saving Oerth will have to wait on 11th level magic, but I can live with that. That's still our main goal. In the meantime, Edena, with 10th level magic I have a couple of things I want to try and do. I can't eliminate the red goo everyplace of course. But can it at least be purified (or much reduced) in the land under Vesve? In a related point, project two for Vesve...start trying to purge the dust from the air over Vesve at least. This might need magical 'air filters' along the borders of the forest or something but we can work on that. The planet deserve one place where the Sun shines through that has nothing to do with tons of fusion material.
-------------------------------------------------------
Vesve Forest - The Day After - With full defenses against scrying up

Siobhan's armor has been discarded for something more sedate. Her eyes glow with silver fire but in the blackness of the dust her normal silver radience is dimmed. The stacks of maps are gone...they no longer reflect the land as it is. the piles of reports have vanished, there are few enough beyond the forest capable of reporting. And in a voice that hisses like fire, she dictates her orders.

"First, to those of Perrenland and Sepia and others still hidden away. We offer this choice. Oerth's very existance is in such danger that even our hidden areas that are safe, cannot remain safe. If Oerth goes, they all will go with it. For those who wish to leave this place, I will try to contact Hazen or Alzem and see if a place can still be found on Hope Island in Toril. This is not an option for the Seelie. We are the forest and we will not abandon it. For those who remain, with the most advanced magic, we can change you, allow you to join with the seelie. To become one with the forest and the land as we are."

-----------------------------
Thtis request will also be passed along to hazen and representative of Alzem. 10th Level magic..when it absolutely positively has to get there...
-----------------------------
"We will continue to gather, adapt and change the Oerthblood...it is our ultimate weapon against the darkness and the goo. Armor, weapons, magic. And Oerthblood golems...if it can be forged into a sword, it can be formed into a golem.

And, sadly. Once the forest is safe, we will send out forces into Iuz's lands. Cloaked in invisibility and shadow. The simple goal is this. To find where ever Iuz's temple still stand and to bring them down. To sneak in and deal with those who still foolishly worship the God who has done so much to destroy the Oerth. He is beyond our power, those who choose to follow him are not. We do not do this in hate. But rather the sorrowful knowledge that drastic measures must be taken to save the Oerth. And it is fitting that the God who started this avalanche be reduced to having his name whispered by a terrified few, huddling in the darkness."

"And last. To all Unseelie...Valkys and Forsaken. What has been said before we say again. We need to work together now. We are not the enemies or your blood, nor you of ours. We are opposite sides of the same coin, we the light and you the shadow. But it is to none of our benefit that this Oerth fail. We can ally, work together to end these greivous threats.

Siobhan Silirevnur, Glittering White Flame of Titania, Emessary of the Seelie."
---------------------------------------------------------------
Contacting them might be an issue. But we are familiar with the now Death Forest and hopefully can still contact Valkys there. For Forsaken, it depends on just how well hidden they are. At worst, we can go to the lands they previously held and proclaim this. If they are not totally ignoring what is going around around them, they should hear.

Edena, just because the red goop doesn't agree with me doesn't mean I'm necessarily good...keep thinking what you want people! *Big Grin*

Edena, just because the red goop doesn't agree with me doesn't mean I'm necessarily good...keep thinking what you want people! *Big Grin*

For Edena: (and Creamsteak, if he chooses)
[Color=333333]Hellmaster will attempt to research/create some form of way for him to control the black pudding with a single thought, this of course keyed to only himself. He will try and make it so that he can shape the ooze using his sheer force of will and even create constructs and structures with them. All the forces of League of Warlords will retreat into our secret retreat for now.

We will also experiment a little of mixing several components into the oozes such as the Oerth Blood and White Puddings, these samples will be overviewed by Hellmaster himself incase they create some disastorous where they will be terminated.[/color]

An extract from Khelarque Stonechoke's journal during the time the Hellfurnaces were under attack:

Though there was little concern for the now almost empty Hellfurnaces Silver Phase insisted that we aid the skeleton crew there in escaping and going through the procedures that he had laid down for them.

That's why I'm sitting in a dark tunnel with Silver and our other compatriates awaiting the red army to surge up and attack us. We left a pile of corpses in the city when we stayed in the main exit to give time to the city occupants to escape.

There was a fighting retreat on our part because these things didn't stop coming. A bit I remember in particular was when what looked like a siege engine, but covered in red stuff and acting on its own attacked us. Lenauae had just prismatic sprayed a bunch of creatures and I'd used a buffing spell on those fighting in front so James brought the roof down on it. Crushed a lot of red soldiers but many of them just dug themselves out.Kcyldyei was standing with us spell casters and squewered red soldiers as they clambered out of the rubble.

In front was Silver Phase with Obmi, Bobo and Durgrim. The four of them were quite capable and cut them down almost as fast as they would come. Thats why it turned into a fighting retreat, because even though we had vast experience under our belts we couldn't handle a constant flow of super troops without any hope of them retreating from casualties.

We walked backwards for a mile I'd say, fighting off the red army as we went. At some stage Durgrim struck one of the walls with his axe and once again the roof came down but this time blocking the tunnel and preventing further assault for a time.

Silver led us back here and while we went we've laid many traps, far too many for me to remember or count at this time.

I felt a heavy tremor in the ground just then, I think something big just hit the Hellfurnaces. I'd better stop here because there's a rumbling thats getting louder and Lenaurae is about to teleport us out. I'll look into what is happening later.

 

[Uvenelei]

One more question for you, Edena:

Did I find a Torilian computer powerful enough to manage the Wyrmstounge that will operate on Oerth?

 

[Serpenteye]

Hey Serpenteyes... if Iuz hadn't been such a frickin pain I would join in with Kal just because I am pretty frickin angry that you didn't send anything to fight.

HELL the way Edena ruled on it, apparently you could have sent your whole army at the Red Goo and taken no damage... (see above confusing post).

That's really too rediculous to be true. If I could have ended my research in the middle of the turn and still have gained all the benefits of research I would have sent more of my armies to fight the Red Goo. If that is the way it's going to work in the future then there's no reason why everyone would not spend everything on research (for about ten minutes) and then send all their armies out to war, or spend the resources on advancing (for another ten minutes) and then send all their armies to Penzanos for a year-long lunch.

And I did fight the Red Army. Really I did. Read thread two again if you don't believe me.

 

[William Ronald]

Hazen sends a message to Aurican, Forrester, and Anabstercorian. It is shared with the Angels, the World Congress of Toril (and its member nations) and the people of Luna:

"I will not tolerate an attack on Luna. I will stop it with my life if I must. Their world must be healed of the Red Waste."

"Aurican, I ask you to firmly declare your intention towards Luna. We do not need the destruction of ANY more innocents." (Uvenelei, you have to do this in character.

"I have not heard one word of apology for the destruction of my forces and most of Oerth. Not a word. I have asked for people to explain themselves."

"The apathy of a few powerful forces has led to great evil being done to Oerth and her people. Indeed, this apathy has been as great or greater than any evil I have seen."

"Ground forces armed with Oerthblood weapons could have won the day. Instead, some people decided to do nothing. Others decided to cause destruction on a planetary scale."

"My people on Hope Island on Toril DEMAND an explanation of why people acted as they did. The dead demand this as well."

"I have fought for this world. I was prepared and I am still prepared to die for this world. I will not tolerate ANY further destruction of it, from any power great or small."

"I ask that the World Congress of Toril and its member nations, and the other Torillian powers speak about the actions of the forces from their world. Sadly, the words of the Wanderer are being made true. The forces of Toril are devastating Oerth. We did not expect devastation from someone besides Melkor."

"Indeed, I must say that the silence of some speaks volumes about their true intentions and true concern for this world."

"I ask for explanations and reparations for the dead. My soldiers died at the hands of their enemies and at the hands of an ally. Oerth must be restored."

 

[Kalanyr]

Serpenteye, fine, keep the land.

I have a debt to pay in blood and I assure you it will be paid. Whether its you, Iuz and/or Melkor who gets to pay it will be decided by me at a later date (depending on current actions)(Yes that is a threat I've had a *#@$ enough of several powers in this IR and I intend to do something about them) ( I may not be able to wipe out you empire but I can do a heck of a lot of damage, oh and since I'm a divinity now, I could kill you.). For now I think I will rebuild whats left of my country.

I try and get worshippers on any world where the Seldarine are worshipped or Lolth hods sway. (My as well tick her off some more ). General Information on way I want to do this:

Worship Alignment, Any Good or Neutral
Portfolio: Personal Combat,Freedom, Magic,Drow/Yuan-ti of good and neutral alignments,Fighter/Mages,Sacrifice for the Good of others.
Domains: Chaos,Good,Excorcism,Drow,Elf,War,Magic,Trickery,Scalykind,Air
Symbol: Crossed Longswords with a Sun and Moon behind them.
(Since Freedom is a cosmic force I doubt It will object to a God supporting its cause).

If someone of a suitable alignment already has these I won't be squabbling with them. (Eg since Eilisteraee already holds Drow of Good and Neutral alignments on most published campaign worlds I won't contest this on those worlds)



In Character post coming shortly.

Edena yes the apocalyptic idiot comment applied to Melkor.

Oh and Melkor
I'll drop fusing Hydrogen on you and myself before I join you. I'm sure most of my people would do the same. One of my to do list items involves building a palace out of you divine corpse and selling bits of you to Sigillian collecters. (assuming your corpse dioesn't have artifact level powers of course.)

 

[Forrester]

Man, you Oerthers whine like mules.

First you want help. Then, when I help kill the 100,000PL Red Army, you bitch and moan about it. What's up with that?

Would you have preferred that THEY kill you?!

Once we have 11th level magic we can repair Oerth, no problem. Unless Edena decides that someone can make another 20PL sacrifice, get a billion PL from somewhere, and destroy the multiverse. Or that someone can decide to create an artifact that grows their power exponentially each turn. Whatever.

If you don't want my help, I'll go back to Toril.

 

[William Ronald]

What I think of certain powers in this IR can't be mentioned on the boards.

I ask the players of this IR to replace names like Ishtarland, Furyondy, Delrune, and the Union of Oerth with the names Australia, the U.S., Canada, and Russia. If a bunch of aliens came in and acted the way that some powers are acting, we would be as mad as all hell. If a single nation or two joined them, everyone would be opposing them. Those nations not doing anything would be branded as traitors.

(Seriously, consider take some of the actions and place them onto Earth. It might give you pause for thought.)

Consider if this IR was being played out on Earth. Then consider the actions of your own power and the other players.

In the good news category, I heard from Alyx. He is back on line after being gone for a weak or so. He is coming back.

I hope he is the first of many people to come back. Edena may have to consider asking for new players to replace some who have left.

I will likely be offline until tomorrow evening. My free time is getting a lot shorter. So, I want people to post. Remember, posting equals actions.

Edena: Sometime back I let you know I was using nutrients and magic to increase the growth rate of my population and monsters (as well as their hardiness). Is this working?
