Instead, they're making it stronger, or something. </p><p> Is that correct? Bizarre, but correct? </p><p> It would seem that the thing to do is stop bombardment then. I will use 10th level magic to help heal some of the damage done to the lands of the Oerthian Alliance, and try to stop/contain the Red Goo.</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: Your rescue team was just taken as new servants by Iuz. As for the Red Goo, it LOVES the mass destruction of the world of Oerth - the death of trillions of plants, animals, birds, insects, the whole ecosystem, and millions of people.</p><p> The Red Goo has been feeding like never before, in the last 200 posts.</p><p></p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> Tokiwong</p><p> </p><p> I think it is the fact that the bombardments caused so much death and despair that is what the Red Goo feeds off of and grows stronger... basically Forrester you did about 20 times more damage then Melkor, Iuz, and Red Army out together... good job... glad to have you onboard the Oerth Destruction Team...</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: Well, that was the problem with Anabstercorian's original tactic, which Forrester adopted.</p><p> Huge explosions of that sort aren't selective, and they are very clumsy as weapons - they hit your friends as well as your enemy.</p><p></p><p> When Anabstercorian initially hit the planet with his 5 hits, I tried to make that point clear. </p><p></p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> Uvenelei</p><p> </p><p> How much PL do I have left? </p><p></p><p> ANSWER: Most of your PL remains, Uvenelei, because it's all in your Secret Retreat (NOTE: This applies to most of the Powers in the IR, including William and Kalanyr.)</p><p></p><p>I need to know what I have left before I can act. </p><p> Also, could you answer some of my previous questions: </p><p></p><p> Did Kalanyr give 10th level magic to the metallic dragons? </p><p></p><p> ANSWER: He tried. He could not do it.</p><p></p><p> Has anyone come to help Oerth in response to Bahamut's call? Did he even send it out? </p><p></p><p> ANSWER: No further help was forthcoming. I stated long ago that no further help could be had right now.</p><p></p><p> Do we know IC where the Army of Darkness is and that the Shade are hiding out on Luna? </p><p></p><p> ANSWER: No, and no. Although the point is moot - Anabstercorian is incinerating Luna as I write this, and the Shade simply left as the bombardment began.</p><p></p><p> How much time has passed since the Red Armada was formed?</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: About one week. </p><p></p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> LordMelkor{Talos}</p><p> </p><p> TO Sollir: </p><p></p><p> -Hellmaster, I invite you to join me and Iuz, EMBRACE the power of Red Doom! DO it and you WILL find TRUE power, and true evil. You are a being of chaos and evil, you have no place in Union Of Worlds, dominated by Law!</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: Up to Sollir, of course.</p><p></p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> Kalanyr</p><p></p><p> I'm still chaotic, so are whatever remains of my power and I still think you are a apocalyptic imbecile. </p><p></p><p> ANSWER: Heh. I know Kalanyr didn't mean me ... I wonder who he was insulting? Melkor, I presume ...</p><p></p><p> Edena a few things </p><p></p><p> 1) How many of my people remain? </p><p></p><p> ANSWER: Most of them.</p><p></p><p> 2) Could you please clarify what you meant by full research? </p><p></p><p> ANSWER: You're getting 11th level magic next Turn.</p><p></p><p> 3) Did I give the good dragons 10th level magic? </p><p></p><p> ANSWER: Yes, but they couldn't comprehend it.</p><p></p><p> 4) You mentioned I had an avatar but I thought you said I was a Demigod. I didn't think Demigods had Avatars without special circumstances. </p><p></p><p> ANSWER: True. You must go yourself to deal with things. No Avatar.</p><p></p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> Anabstercorian</p><p> </p><p> Cauterize it! </p><p></p><p> Anabstercorian looks at Forrester with a fervorous expression on his face.</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: Anabstercorian is actually talking with Forrester personally?? This can be detected IC, if true, and it should be interesting hearing for more than a few people.</p><p></p><p></p><p> << We must continue! The Red Goo will only gain strength from this unless we finish it off NOW! Give the inhabitants of Oerth a week to retreat to their dimensional strongholds, and then we must sterilize the surface of Oerth. It's the only way to be sure! >> </p><p></p><p> ANSWER: Well, that's up to Forrester. Anabstercorian can be blocked by Kalanyr, if he tries to sterilize Oerth.</p><p></p><p> << I will tell my people to begin construction of more Rockjammers to store refugees. It's the only way the inhabitants of Oerth will ever see the Sun again. >> </p><p></p><p> ANSWER: The inhabitants of Oerth may NEVER see the Sun again, the way they are going.</p><p></p><p> Remember, Luna is heavily infused with Red Goo. I intend to sterilize the moons.</p><p> Everyone who is currently ON the moon, I am sending Rockjammers to pick you up and allow you to escape. </p><p> Oerth is dead. Time for you to build a new world. </p><p> That's my job. </p><p> Edena, how many levels did I get? I need 13 more before I can master creation of Substare. Once I do that, I can start constructing a Penumbral Hub.</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: (sigh) You gain the 13 levels, Anabstercorian. And, Luna IS heavily infused with Red Goo ... you are currently incinerating it, unless Forrester stops you (Kalanyr can't.)</p><p> You are too quick to give up on Oerth, but then again ... you're safe up there in space with the Army of Darkness, so it's no loss to you, eh? (chuckles)</p><p></p><p> - - - </p><p></p><p> LordMelkor{Talos}</p><p> </p><p> Don`t worry Kalanyr, you will join me, willingly or not!</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: I wonder. Kalanyr might just decide to go ballistic. If I were him, I'd be pretty put out about my planet being trashed, not to mention my people.</p><p> </p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> LordMelkor{Talos}</p><p> </p><p> Anabstecorian, YOU DON`T know that my Secret Retreat is on Luna! My forces are hiding underground!</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: This is quite true.</p><p></p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> Anabstercorian</p><p></p><p> Your secret retreat is on Luna? </p><p></p><p> I didn't know that. All I know is that it has Red Goo and it isn't hard to evacuate - I'm sterilizing it.</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: As I said, he didn't know.</p><p></p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> Sollir Furryfoot</p><p></p><p> Sorry Mr. Melkor, the red goop doesn't agree with me. Btw, Edena said saying that your secret bases were on Luna (earlier), you revealed your secret hideout. (he gave you time to edit your post but you're continuing the part about your bases on Luna still)</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: I was always curious as to which side Sollir was on. It is finally revealed - he stands with the good side! Heh. But Sollir, you don't know Melkor is up on Luna. If I gave that impression, that you did, my regrets.</p><p> Of course, NOTHING is up on Luna now ... unless Forrester halts Anabstercorian from incinerating it.</p><p> </p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> Anabstercorian</p><p></p><p> I just got lucky </p><p> I honestly had no idea that his Secret Retreat was on Luna! It was just a coincidence. All I remembered was that Luna had Red Goo veins and people. </p><p></p><p> ANSWER: It also had a base from the Union of the Worlds on it, and I haven't heard Mr. Draco or Serpenteye state they were evacuating it.</p><p> I don't think either Mr. Draco or Serpenteye are going to appreciate you incinerating their base, Anabstercorian.</p><p></p><p> That said, I have a feeling Melkor won't let us evacuate Luna safely, so I guess everyone on Luna is screwed. Becuase I AM going to sterilize the rock - Melt it to lava and let it cool in to a sphere of glass. </p><p> By the way, will the Teutonic hell of the surface of Oerth eventually cool in to a nuclear winter?</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: No. But I will not explain why, right now.</p><p></p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> William Ronald</p><p> </p><p> Forrester, </p><p></p><p> The Red Goo feeds on death and despair. When the armies and civilians of Oerth died, this fed the Red Goo. I thought you would have used hydrogen fusion bullets, or keep the destruction to a smaller level. Oerth is in ruins. It is a good thing that the Wanderer is dead, otherwise Edena would have to really edit his comments. </p><p> Forrester, this was a case of overkill. It is now up to you to decide the fate of Oerth. If you decide to destroy Oerth, then I suggest you let your allies evacuate to Toril. </p><p></p><p> In Character post: </p><p></p><p> Hazen stands in a large room in the Lortmils Technocracy's secret retreat. There are large screens showing images of massive global destruction. He can barely see them. </p><p></p><p> "Forrester! I tried to reach you and you went ahead and used the sun's hydrogen in large clumps. My army is dead." </p><p> "Why?" </p><p> "You could have deployed your troops, you could have used pellets of the hydrogen and still done great damage to the enemy. You have killed friend and foe alike. The Angels have suffered greatly." </p><p> "It is up to you to save or damn Oerth." </p><p></p><p> (OOC: Glad I got my civilians to Hope Island on Toril.)</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: I tried to make it clear, with Anabstercorian's initial 5 hits, that this was not an effective way of dealing with the Red Army.</p><p> I gave lurid descriptions of the devastation caused by those 5 hits.</p><p> So, when someone casually announces, after that post, that they are just going to bombard the planet until the Red Army is gone ... well, you see the consequences.</p><p></p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> LordMelkor{Talos}</p><p> </p><p> Hmm, can`t we negotatiate? </p><p></p><p> ANSWER: Lord Melkor is going to NEGOTIATE? Overruled! That is out of character! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></p><p></p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> Uvenelei</p><p></p><p> Whoa, if I know there's Red Goo on Luna, then I help Anab by reducing it to a fine subatomic haze with a few Groundpounders.</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: Allowed. The Alliance of the Crescent could have created 1 or 2 new ones by now.</p><p> So, the Alliance of Oerth is going to work with Anabstercorian to incinerate Luna. </p><p> This is getting hilarious, although I doubt the NATIVE LIFEFORMS of Luna think so (it is a green-blue moon, not a moon like our own IRL.)</p><p></p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> Anabstercorian</p><p></p><p> Nope </p><p></p><p> If I actually found out, In Character, that your Secret Retreat was on Luna, I wouldn't even wait for them to evacuate the planetoid - I would sterilize it immediately. </p><p></p><p> ANSWER: So would everyone else ... they would have done so long ago, I fear. </p><p> </p><p></p><p> Unvenilei, I recommend you do not break up Luna. It would be best if it remained a stable planetoid in orbit around Oerth. Perhaps, later, it could be terraformed in to a stable habitat. After all, it has no atmosphere to hold radiation and toxins, so once it cooled, it would be usable for raw materials. Besides, if you dissolve it to haze, that haze will fall to Oerth and cause even MORE dusty ecological damage.</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: I will allow both Anabstercorian and Uvenelei to take back their statements about incinerating Luna.</p><p> It is a blue-green world, with millions of it's own people, and it's own forms of life.</p><p> </p><p> - - - </p><p></p><p> Uvenelei</p><p></p><p> Ok, I'll give you a chance to sterilize it, but if the infection goes too deep, then Luna has to be destroyed in order to get rid of the Goo. Luna can be rebuilt later, anyways.</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: No, it cannot be rebuilt. Not even 11th level magic will allow you to return a planet that has been totally destroyed (ala the Death Star, Alderon.) </p><p> </p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> LordMelkor{Talos}</p><p> </p><p> Edena, I will evacuate my forces and Red Goo to my pocket dimensions.</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: Noted.</p><p></p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> Tokiwong</p><p> </p><p> William Ronald </p><p></p><p> Iuz sends a message to Hazen, "Greetings Angel... I am sure you are aware of the state of the world... sad isn't it? Perhaps my own timely intervention was not needed, but I am pleased that I was a catalyst. Do you understand my purpose, It is to bring the world to the brink... to thin the herds, remove the chafe... if it takes oblivion then so be it..." </p><p> Iuz smiled, "But I only wish to commend you in the hand you played in damning this world... perhaps we were on the same side all along... send my regards to Forrester..."</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: Forrester, I think Iuz just insulted you ...</p><p></p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> William Ronald</p><p></p><p> Negotiate, Melkor? </p><p> You and Tokiwong want the world destroyed and you want to negotiate? </p><p></p><p> ANSWER: I'll leave this to the Players.</p><p></p><p> Maybe we can save the planet. However, I would say that Iuz and Melkor have a problem.</p><p> They might be running low on living worshippers and temples on Oerth. </p><p></p><p> ANSWER: They are, and they are going to start weakening because of it, and they may die from lack of worshippers, if those worshippers are all killed.</p><p></p><p> I think an intact planet is more valuable to you than a flaming slag heap. You should have thought of that. Not too much left to conquer.</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: I'm staying out of this argument.</p><p></p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> Tokiwong</p><p> </p><p> Iuz thinks for a moment... "Of course..." he turns to his few remaining missionaries, and sends them out into the Planes and other worlds.. to spread his gospel... </p><p> OOC: Iuz is secretly sending missionaries to other planes and worlds to spread his word and begin setting up cults that revere him in a myriad of forms; The Destroyer, Warmaster, Destruction, Slayer, Raveger... etc.... spend up to 15 PL for this effort, meaning whatever I have left up to 15 PL if I can muster this much... all secret of course</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: The moment they enter Krynnspace, they are killed. Mina has access to 11th level magic there, but nobody else can cast magic higher than 9th level.</p><p> </p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> The Forsaken One</p><p> </p><p> Not much left to conquer, but plenty left to rule.</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: (chuckle) Oh quite the contrary, quite the contrary, Forsaken One. EVERYONE'S Secret Retreats become public knowledge on Turn 7.</p><p> And I do believe more than a few people have some interesting plans for then.</p><p> </p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> William Ronald</p><p> </p><p> Hazen sends an inflatable balloon of a goat dressed as a prostitute to Iuz. </p><p> "I thought you would need suitable company. A fake companion to match your fake sympathy." </p><p> "The world has been pusthed to the brink, because you and Melkor decided to conquer by destruction. We are not on the same side. I fought bravely. You, however, are a coward who seeks to destroy what he can't have. Perhaps it is your upbringing. Though generally most children I know get past your stage of development by age three." </p><p> "You honestly think you can bring me to further despair with your words. Bah, Iuz the Senile should be your title." </p><p> "I asked Toril for help. I did not know this would happen and neither did you." </p><p> "I believe Forrester OWES his allies an explanation." </p><p> Hazen will talk to the Angels about everything that has happened. He is upset. I am upset.</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: Hazen cannot find the Angels. If they are on Oerth, they are not making their presense known.</p><p> About 20,000 PL of Angels survived, but they have their own attitude about this situation, and they are NOT happy with anyone in the IR, right now.</p><p></p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> Tokiwong</p><p> </p><p> Iuz smiles, "My thoughts exactly... though such things are temporal... true power is eternal..."</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: Then Iuz doesn't have True Power, because if his worshippers are killed, he will fade and fail, and die.</p><p></p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> Tokiwong</p><p> </p><p> Iuz laughs, "Iuz the senile... you honor me with your mirth..." Iuz looks to the goat, "I have to say I did not think you had it in you... and if you thought enough to send the gift then I obviously sparked something in you Angel..." </p><p> Iuz reclined his throne, "My goals are simple... oblivion... that is the only path to balance.. because it is obvious that no power on this world is capable of reaching a delicate Peaceful balance..." </p><p></p><p> ANSWER: The DM is still out of these IC arguments.</p><p></p><p> Iuz pulled one of his firelander concubines into his lap, "You asked Forrster for help and this is the outcome.. perhaps you should rethink who your allies are... blind faith my kill you yet, Angel."</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: Iuz places all the blame on Hazen and Forrester. Interesting ...</p><p></p><p> - - - </p><p> </p><p> Kalanyr</p><p> </p><p> Iuz </p><p> I think you'll find us more than willing to make your attempt to rule into an exercise in being conquered. </p><p> I for one really don't appreciate the attempt to turn poor Oerth into a Goo Ball and the death of a few thousand Upper Planar beings. </p><p> Edena can we get a description of what Oerth currently looks like?</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: Most of Oerth's surface is still water and land.</p><p> But there are sizeable areas of Red Goo.</p><p> And there are much larger areas of lava.</p><p> There is land where water used to be, and water where land used to be.</p><p></p><p> The Lortmils still look pretty much like they did.</p><p> That is not true of the rest of the Flanaess, or of Oerik.</p><p></p><p> It is difficult to tell things for sure, because the planet is shrouded in one great cloud, and beneath that cloud it is pitch black - or would be, except for the towering glowworms of blue and green radiation where the bombardment occurred (all 55 hits), and the red glow of volcanoes, and the silver glow of the Oerthblood where it is geysering to the surface now. </p><p> </p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> Tokiwong</p><p> </p><p></p><p> OOC: Point the finger at Forrester for that he nuked the Angels... besides I love Angels... so pretty and sweet, oh and I don't want to rule... to mesy not with all of you psychos willing to nuke the planet... just seek a true balance... just you all impede that balance...</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: Well, Iuz has made his point. The question is, does anyone agree with him?</p><p></p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> Anabstercorian</p><p></p><p> I think we broke his brain </p><p> Edena is probably banging his head againt the wall right now.</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: No. That happened 5 days ago. My brain is back in working order now.</p><p> Oerth is not in working order, though, and I suspect you lunatics are glowing to blow it up. But we will see.</p><p> 11th level magic would undo all the damage done, and restore Oerth to a blue-green world.</p><p> 11th level magic could also be used to put a final end to the world's misery.</p><p> Your choice.</p><p></p><p> - - - </p><p> </p><p> William Ronald</p><p></p><p> Tokiwong: </p><p></p><p> No one was at war with you when the Red Army manifested itself. I think you have to take some of the blame. Maybe I am to blame for calling Forrester in. </p><p> Edena is probably VERY UPSET right now. I thought you and Melkor wanted to conquer not destroy the world. </p><p> Remind me never to let either of you around anything more dangerous than a plastic spoon.</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: Tokiwong and Melkor have played their Powers as being truly Evil. But admittedly, Forrester has done the most damage ... Anabstercorian is trying to outdo him now ...</p><p></p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> Tokiwong</p><p> </p><p> Iuz considers the fact that he is to blame for the mess he speaks, "I am not one to avoid blame Angel, I know very well I was at the core of the troubles... and perhaps at a time I wanted to rule... but this world is far too gone for that... maybe I went too far..." </p><p> Iuz smiles, "But I assure you I have not gone far enough... you hold me to blame I accept it... but hold other who brought this about as well... there is a reckoning... you too easily point the finger when each and ever power holds a small kernel of responsibility... perhaps Oblivion is not so bad afterall... I can even save you an honored place in it, Angel..."</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: Defeatism will get you nowhere.</p><p></p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> The Forsaken One</p><p> </p><p> Heh, I was just chatting with Kalanyr, and I came to the conclusion that if Edena would have restricted us to swords and bows and not even magic, we (as a bunch of destructive freaks) would still have found a way to destroy the plane. </p><p></p><p> ANSWER: Toril went through this. All of this. The Wanderer tried to warn you that this would happen, if you choose to walk the path the Torilians walked.</p><p> The Wanderer may have been a bitter old man, and a racist bigot, but he saw the future, and what he saw was bleak.</p><p></p><p> **Start digging guys** </p><p></p><p> Man we are destroying whole planes.. and we are having fun about it hehehe, man we are dangerous with a capital D. </p><p> William, with that spoon he'll probably go own the kitchens sink and force the respect of all dishes and rule supreme as the "spoon king" with his "Kitchen Concubine". </p><p> just put us all in a empty pocket dimension and even in something totally empty we'll find something to molest hehe, I'm sure of that </p><p></p><p> ANSWER: With you maniacs, I'm sure you could figure out how to destroy the whole Crystal Sphere with those plastic spoons. And 1st level magic only. I mean it!</p><p> The creative ability of man is matched only by his ability to destroy.</p><p></p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> Tokiwong</p><p></p><p> OOC: Well not trying to be upset... but hey I am having fun... and yeah give me a spoon... I can have lots of fun with that... now where did I put that goat prostitute you sent me... which reminds me... how in the hell do you make a goat look like a prostitute... and why would an angel know that... yeah... sickos... all around</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: Actually, Tokiwong, you're a piker compared to Melkor.</p><p> Forrester stated Melkor could have the elven girl, he didn't care, and he hoped Melkor would do his rotten worst to her.</p><p> Which Melkor is doing ... he is using dark magic to make her love the pain, the abuse, the endless use ... </p><p></p><p> - - -</p><p></p><p> William Ronald</p><p> </p><p> As the human capacity to destroy things is almost infinite, you may be right. </p><p> Did anyone think how all this is affecting Edena? He put a lot of hard work in to this. The idea was to conquer, not to destroy the world. That was Rhialto's character concept. </p><p> Forrester, you have the power to save or damn Oerth. Please save the planet, and help us wipe the smug smiles off Tokiwong's and Melkor's faces.</p><p></p><p> ANSWER: I sorta think Forrester is the one with the smug smile right now. His world, Toril, is bathing in riches, beauty, power, and peace, while yours is a smoking, radioactive ruin.</p><p> Furthermore, he will (on Turn 7) be able to use 11th level magic, in Greyspace.</p><p> Do you know what the highest level magic you will be able to use in Realmspace is, if you were to try to attack Forrester?</p><p> 9th level.

[QUOTE="Edena_of_Neith, post: 141239, member: 2020"] [b]IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ (ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS)[/b] The Forsaken One Hmm owyeah PL isn't representative for numbers, so he's weaker then me, ok more PL has to mean something. ANSWER: PL represents fighting capability. - - - Forrester So these bombardments destroyed the Red Army, but they *aren't* destroying the Red Goo. Instead, they're making it stronger, or something. Is that correct? Bizarre, but correct? It would seem that the thing to do is stop bombardment then. I will use 10th level magic to help heal some of the damage done to the lands of the Oerthian Alliance, and try to stop/contain the Red Goo. ANSWER: Your rescue team was just taken as new servants by Iuz. As for the Red Goo, it LOVES the mass destruction of the world of Oerth - the death of trillions of plants, animals, birds, insects, the whole ecosystem, and millions of people. The Red Goo has been feeding like never before, in the last 200 posts. - - - Tokiwong I think it is the fact that the bombardments caused so much death and despair that is what the Red Goo feeds off of and grows stronger... basically Forrester you did about 20 times more damage then Melkor, Iuz, and Red Army out together... good job... glad to have you onboard the Oerth Destruction Team... ANSWER: Well, that was the problem with Anabstercorian's original tactic, which Forrester adopted. Huge explosions of that sort aren't selective, and they are very clumsy as weapons - they hit your friends as well as your enemy. When Anabstercorian initially hit the planet with his 5 hits, I tried to make that point clear. - - - Uvenelei How much PL do I have left? ANSWER: Most of your PL remains, Uvenelei, because it's all in your Secret Retreat (NOTE: This applies to most of the Powers in the IR, including William and Kalanyr.) I need to know what I have left before I can act. Also, could you answer some of my previous questions: Did Kalanyr give 10th level magic to the metallic dragons? ANSWER: He tried. He could not do it. Has anyone come to help Oerth in response to Bahamut's call? Did he even send it out? ANSWER: No further help was forthcoming. I stated long ago that no further help could be had right now. Do we know IC where the Army of Darkness is and that the Shade are hiding out on Luna? ANSWER: No, and no. Although the point is moot - Anabstercorian is incinerating Luna as I write this, and the Shade simply left as the bombardment began. How much time has passed since the Red Armada was formed? ANSWER: About one week. - - - LordMelkor{Talos} TO Sollir: -Hellmaster, I invite you to join me and Iuz, EMBRACE the power of Red Doom! DO it and you WILL find TRUE power, and true evil. You are a being of chaos and evil, you have no place in Union Of Worlds, dominated by Law! ANSWER: Up to Sollir, of course. - - - Kalanyr I'm still chaotic, so are whatever remains of my power and I still think you are a apocalyptic imbecile. ANSWER: Heh. I know Kalanyr didn't mean me ... I wonder who he was insulting? Melkor, I presume ... Edena a few things 1) How many of my people remain? ANSWER: Most of them. 2) Could you please clarify what you meant by full research? ANSWER: You're getting 11th level magic next Turn. 3) Did I give the good dragons 10th level magic? ANSWER: Yes, but they couldn't comprehend it. 4) You mentioned I had an avatar but I thought you said I was a Demigod. I didn't think Demigods had Avatars without special circumstances. ANSWER: True. You must go yourself to deal with things. No Avatar. - - - Anabstercorian Cauterize it! Anabstercorian looks at Forrester with a fervorous expression on his face. ANSWER: Anabstercorian is actually talking with Forrester personally?? This can be detected IC, if true, and it should be interesting hearing for more than a few people. << We must continue! The Red Goo will only gain strength from this unless we finish it off NOW! Give the inhabitants of Oerth a week to retreat to their dimensional strongholds, and then we must sterilize the surface of Oerth. It's the only way to be sure! >> ANSWER: Well, that's up to Forrester. Anabstercorian can be blocked by Kalanyr, if he tries to sterilize Oerth. << I will tell my people to begin construction of more Rockjammers to store refugees. It's the only way the inhabitants of Oerth will ever see the Sun again. >> ANSWER: The inhabitants of Oerth may NEVER see the Sun again, the way they are going. Remember, Luna is heavily infused with Red Goo. I intend to sterilize the moons. Everyone who is currently ON the moon, I am sending Rockjammers to pick you up and allow you to escape. Oerth is dead. Time for you to build a new world. That's my job. Edena, how many levels did I get? I need 13 more before I can master creation of Substare. Once I do that, I can start constructing a Penumbral Hub. ANSWER: (sigh) You gain the 13 levels, Anabstercorian. And, Luna IS heavily infused with Red Goo ... you are currently incinerating it, unless Forrester stops you (Kalanyr can't.) You are too quick to give up on Oerth, but then again ... you're safe up there in space with the Army of Darkness, so it's no loss to you, eh? (chuckles) - - - LordMelkor{Talos} Don`t worry Kalanyr, you will join me, willingly or not! ANSWER: I wonder. Kalanyr might just decide to go ballistic. If I were him, I'd be pretty put out about my planet being trashed, not to mention my people. - - - LordMelkor{Talos} Anabstecorian, YOU DON`T know that my Secret Retreat is on Luna! My forces are hiding underground! ANSWER: This is quite true. - - - Anabstercorian Your secret retreat is on Luna? I didn't know that. All I know is that it has Red Goo and it isn't hard to evacuate - I'm sterilizing it. ANSWER: As I said, he didn't know. - - - Sollir Furryfoot Sorry Mr. Melkor, the red goop doesn't agree with me. Btw, Edena said saying that your secret bases were on Luna (earlier), you revealed your secret hideout. (he gave you time to edit your post but you're continuing the part about your bases on Luna still) ANSWER: I was always curious as to which side Sollir was on. It is finally revealed - he stands with the good side! Heh. But Sollir, you don't know Melkor is up on Luna. If I gave that impression, that you did, my regrets. Of course, NOTHING is up on Luna now ... unless Forrester halts Anabstercorian from incinerating it. - - - Anabstercorian I just got lucky I honestly had no idea that his Secret Retreat was on Luna! It was just a coincidence. All I remembered was that Luna had Red Goo veins and people. ANSWER: It also had a base from the Union of the Worlds on it, and I haven't heard Mr. Draco or Serpenteye state they were evacuating it. I don't think either Mr. Draco or Serpenteye are going to appreciate you incinerating their base, Anabstercorian. That said, I have a feeling Melkor won't let us evacuate Luna safely, so I guess everyone on Luna is screwed. Becuase I AM going to sterilize the rock - Melt it to lava and let it cool in to a sphere of glass. By the way, will the Teutonic hell of the surface of Oerth eventually cool in to a nuclear winter? ANSWER: No. But I will not explain why, right now. - - - William Ronald Forrester, The Red Goo feeds on death and despair. When the armies and civilians of Oerth died, this fed the Red Goo. I thought you would have used hydrogen fusion bullets, or keep the destruction to a smaller level. Oerth is in ruins. It is a good thing that the Wanderer is dead, otherwise Edena would have to really edit his comments. Forrester, this was a case of overkill. It is now up to you to decide the fate of Oerth. If you decide to destroy Oerth, then I suggest you let your allies evacuate to Toril. In Character post: Hazen stands in a large room in the Lortmils Technocracy's secret retreat. There are large screens showing images of massive global destruction. He can barely see them. "Forrester! I tried to reach you and you went ahead and used the sun's hydrogen in large clumps. My army is dead." "Why?" "You could have deployed your troops, you could have used pellets of the hydrogen and still done great damage to the enemy. You have killed friend and foe alike. The Angels have suffered greatly." "It is up to you to save or damn Oerth." (OOC: Glad I got my civilians to Hope Island on Toril.) ANSWER: I tried to make it clear, with Anabstercorian's initial 5 hits, that this was not an effective way of dealing with the Red Army. I gave lurid descriptions of the devastation caused by those 5 hits. So, when someone casually announces, after that post, that they are just going to bombard the planet until the Red Army is gone ... well, you see the consequences. - - - LordMelkor{Talos} Hmm, can`t we negotatiate? ANSWER: Lord Melkor is going to NEGOTIATE? Overruled! That is out of character! :) - - - Uvenelei Whoa, if I know there's Red Goo on Luna, then I help Anab by reducing it to a fine subatomic haze with a few Groundpounders. ANSWER: Allowed. The Alliance of the Crescent could have created 1 or 2 new ones by now. So, the Alliance of Oerth is going to work with Anabstercorian to incinerate Luna. This is getting hilarious, although I doubt the NATIVE LIFEFORMS of Luna think so (it is a green-blue moon, not a moon like our own IRL.) - - - Anabstercorian Nope If I actually found out, In Character, that your Secret Retreat was on Luna, I wouldn't even wait for them to evacuate the planetoid - I would sterilize it immediately. ANSWER: So would everyone else ... they would have done so long ago, I fear. Unvenilei, I recommend you do not break up Luna. It would be best if it remained a stable planetoid in orbit around Oerth. Perhaps, later, it could be terraformed in to a stable habitat. After all, it has no atmosphere to hold radiation and toxins, so once it cooled, it would be usable for raw materials. Besides, if you dissolve it to haze, that haze will fall to Oerth and cause even MORE dusty ecological damage. ANSWER: I will allow both Anabstercorian and Uvenelei to take back their statements about incinerating Luna. It is a blue-green world, with millions of it's own people, and it's own forms of life. - - - Uvenelei Ok, I'll give you a chance to sterilize it, but if the infection goes too deep, then Luna has to be destroyed in order to get rid of the Goo. Luna can be rebuilt later, anyways. ANSWER: No, it cannot be rebuilt. Not even 11th level magic will allow you to return a planet that has been totally destroyed (ala the Death Star, Alderon.) - - - LordMelkor{Talos} Edena, I will evacuate my forces and Red Goo to my pocket dimensions. ANSWER: Noted. - - - Tokiwong William Ronald Iuz sends a message to Hazen, "Greetings Angel... I am sure you are aware of the state of the world... sad isn't it? Perhaps my own timely intervention was not needed, but I am pleased that I was a catalyst. Do you understand my purpose, It is to bring the world to the brink... to thin the herds, remove the chafe... if it takes oblivion then so be it..." Iuz smiled, "But I only wish to commend you in the hand you played in damning this world... perhaps we were on the same side all along... send my regards to Forrester..." ANSWER: Forrester, I think Iuz just insulted you ... - - - William Ronald Negotiate, Melkor? You and Tokiwong want the world destroyed and you want to negotiate? ANSWER: I'll leave this to the Players. Maybe we can save the planet. However, I would say that Iuz and Melkor have a problem. They might be running low on living worshippers and temples on Oerth. ANSWER: They are, and they are going to start weakening because of it, and they may die from lack of worshippers, if those worshippers are all killed. I think an intact planet is more valuable to you than a flaming slag heap. You should have thought of that. Not too much left to conquer. ANSWER: I'm staying out of this argument. - - - Tokiwong Iuz thinks for a moment... "Of course..." he turns to his few remaining missionaries, and sends them out into the Planes and other worlds.. to spread his gospel... OOC: Iuz is secretly sending missionaries to other planes and worlds to spread his word and begin setting up cults that revere him in a myriad of forms; The Destroyer, Warmaster, Destruction, Slayer, Raveger... etc.... spend up to 15 PL for this effort, meaning whatever I have left up to 15 PL if I can muster this much... all secret of course ANSWER: The moment they enter Krynnspace, they are killed. Mina has access to 11th level magic there, but nobody else can cast magic higher than 9th level. - - - The Forsaken One Not much left to conquer, but plenty left to rule. ANSWER: (chuckle) Oh quite the contrary, quite the contrary, Forsaken One. EVERYONE'S Secret Retreats become public knowledge on Turn 7. And I do believe more than a few people have some interesting plans for then. - - - William Ronald Hazen sends an inflatable balloon of a goat dressed as a prostitute to Iuz. "I thought you would need suitable company. A fake companion to match your fake sympathy." "The world has been pusthed to the brink, because you and Melkor decided to conquer by destruction. We are not on the same side. I fought bravely. You, however, are a coward who seeks to destroy what he can't have. Perhaps it is your upbringing. Though generally most children I know get past your stage of development by age three." "You honestly think you can bring me to further despair with your words. Bah, Iuz the Senile should be your title." "I asked Toril for help. I did not know this would happen and neither did you." "I believe Forrester OWES his allies an explanation." Hazen will talk to the Angels about everything that has happened. He is upset. I am upset. ANSWER: Hazen cannot find the Angels. If they are on Oerth, they are not making their presense known. About 20,000 PL of Angels survived, but they have their own attitude about this situation, and they are NOT happy with anyone in the IR, right now. - - - Tokiwong Iuz smiles, "My thoughts exactly... though such things are temporal... true power is eternal..." ANSWER: Then Iuz doesn't have True Power, because if his worshippers are killed, he will fade and fail, and die. - - - Tokiwong Iuz laughs, "Iuz the senile... you honor me with your mirth..." Iuz looks to the goat, "I have to say I did not think you had it in you... and if you thought enough to send the gift then I obviously sparked something in you Angel..." Iuz reclined his throne, "My goals are simple... oblivion... that is the only path to balance.. because it is obvious that no power on this world is capable of reaching a delicate Peaceful balance..." ANSWER: The DM is still out of these IC arguments. Iuz pulled one of his firelander concubines into his lap, "You asked Forrster for help and this is the outcome.. perhaps you should rethink who your allies are... blind faith my kill you yet, Angel." ANSWER: Iuz places all the blame on Hazen and Forrester. Interesting ... - - - Kalanyr Iuz I think you'll find us more than willing to make your attempt to rule into an exercise in being conquered. I for one really don't appreciate the attempt to turn poor Oerth into a Goo Ball and the death of a few thousand Upper Planar beings. Edena can we get a description of what Oerth currently looks like? ANSWER: Most of Oerth's surface is still water and land. But there are sizeable areas of Red Goo. And there are much larger areas of lava. There is land where water used to be, and water where land used to be. The Lortmils still look pretty much like they did. That is not true of the rest of the Flanaess, or of Oerik. It is difficult to tell things for sure, because the planet is shrouded in one great cloud, and beneath that cloud it is pitch black - or would be, except for the towering glowworms of blue and green radiation where the bombardment occurred (all 55 hits), and the red glow of volcanoes, and the silver glow of the Oerthblood where it is geysering to the surface now. - - - Tokiwong OOC: Point the finger at Forrester for that he nuked the Angels... besides I love Angels... so pretty and sweet, oh and I don't want to rule... to mesy not with all of you psychos willing to nuke the planet... just seek a true balance... just you all impede that balance... ANSWER: Well, Iuz has made his point. The question is, does anyone agree with him? - - - Anabstercorian I think we broke his brain Edena is probably banging his head againt the wall right now. ANSWER: No. That happened 5 days ago. My brain is back in working order now. Oerth is not in working order, though, and I suspect you lunatics are glowing to blow it up. But we will see. 11th level magic would undo all the damage done, and restore Oerth to a blue-green world. 11th level magic could also be used to put a final end to the world's misery. Your choice. - - - William Ronald Tokiwong: No one was at war with you when the Red Army manifested itself. I think you have to take some of the blame. Maybe I am to blame for calling Forrester in. Edena is probably VERY UPSET right now. I thought you and Melkor wanted to conquer not destroy the world. Remind me never to let either of you around anything more dangerous than a plastic spoon. ANSWER: Tokiwong and Melkor have played their Powers as being truly Evil. But admittedly, Forrester has done the most damage ... Anabstercorian is trying to outdo him now ... - - - Tokiwong Iuz considers the fact that he is to blame for the mess he speaks, "I am not one to avoid blame Angel, I know very well I was at the core of the troubles... and perhaps at a time I wanted to rule... but this world is far too gone for that... maybe I went too far..." Iuz smiles, "But I assure you I have not gone far enough... you hold me to blame I accept it... but hold other who brought this about as well... there is a reckoning... you too easily point the finger when each and ever power holds a small kernel of responsibility... perhaps Oblivion is not so bad afterall... I can even save you an honored place in it, Angel..." ANSWER: Defeatism will get you nowhere. - - - The Forsaken One Heh, I was just chatting with Kalanyr, and I came to the conclusion that if Edena would have restricted us to swords and bows and not even magic, we (as a bunch of destructive freaks) would still have found a way to destroy the plane. ANSWER: Toril went through this. All of this. The Wanderer tried to warn you that this would happen, if you choose to walk the path the Torilians walked. The Wanderer may have been a bitter old man, and a racist bigot, but he saw the future, and what he saw was bleak. **Start digging guys** Man we are destroying whole planes.. and we are having fun about it hehehe, man we are dangerous with a capital D. William, with that spoon he'll probably go own the kitchens sink and force the respect of all dishes and rule supreme as the "spoon king" with his "Kitchen Concubine". just put us all in a empty pocket dimension and even in something totally empty we'll find something to molest hehe, I'm sure of that ANSWER: With you maniacs, I'm sure you could figure out how to destroy the whole Crystal Sphere with those plastic spoons. And 1st level magic only. I mean it! The creative ability of man is matched only by his ability to destroy. - - - Tokiwong OOC: Well not trying to be upset... but hey I am having fun... and yeah give me a spoon... I can have lots of fun with that... now where did I put that goat prostitute you sent me... which reminds me... how in the hell do you make a goat look like a prostitute... and why would an angel know that... yeah... sickos... all around ANSWER: Actually, Tokiwong, you're a piker compared to Melkor. Forrester stated Melkor could have the elven girl, he didn't care, and he hoped Melkor would do his rotten worst to her. Which Melkor is doing ... he is using dark magic to make her love the pain, the abuse, the endless use ... - - - William Ronald As the human capacity to destroy things is almost infinite, you may be right. Did anyone think how all this is affecting Edena? He put a lot of hard work in to this. The idea was to conquer, not to destroy the world. That was Rhialto's character concept. Forrester, you have the power to save or damn Oerth. Please save the planet, and help us wipe the smug smiles off Tokiwong's and Melkor's faces. ANSWER: I sorta think Forrester is the one with the smug smile right now. His world, Toril, is bathing in riches, beauty, power, and peace, while yours is a smoking, radioactive ruin. Furthermore, he will (on Turn 7) be able to use 11th level magic, in Greyspace. Do you know what the highest level magic you will be able to use in Realmspace is, if you were to try to attack Forrester? 9th level. You'd have to research magic in Realmspace to get magic higher than 9th, just as Forrester has done in Greyspace. Will Forrester allow such research? I DON'T THINK SO!!! As for Oerth, you can repair it. It doesn't have to end like this. But of course, Melkor wants it to end like this, and Iuz wants it to end like this, and others didn't stand up and do anything, and Anabstercorian has gone berserk and is incinerating Luna, and ... well, I'm not laying odds on the future, here. - - - William Ronald Tokiwong, You missed the aborted thread when the server crashed in February. That was the gift Hazen sent to Vecna. Although I think it was a live goat. (Yes, good aligned people do know all about the evils of the world. How else can they fight it.) Of course, I think I sent Veca some moldy bread, moldy cheese, and very bad wine. ANSWER: I remember that. Vecna made the Kevellond League pay in blood for it, too. - - - Tokiwong OOC: Hey not trying to ruin the game... just felt it was time for evil to be well just flat-out evil... and besides going down in Infamy is cool... ANSWER: Heh. The fun evil approach. Hmmm ... just remember, Tokiwong, you destroyed something they worked very hard to build. So when they come after you on Turn 7, remember your deeds brought their wrath down on you! - - - Kalanyr Hmm, as proud co-owner of one of the surviving chunks of Oerth, I have to say, I'm claiming every bit of the Union of Oerth's land that isn't occupied or totally destroyed. Serpenteye-if you want it back let me know, I'm sure we can work something out. ANSWER: Oerth isn't in chunks yet (Luna will be shortly, unless Anabstercorian or Uvenelei reverse their statements.) As for the Union of Oerth, THEY have been sitting nice and safe in their Secret Retreat, and have taken almost NO harm or loss from the insane situation outside said Retreat, and on Turn 7 they are going to have 11th level magic. And I do believe they are going to be a little ANGRY at all the rest of you for wrecking their country. And THEIR army is at full strength. Better start praying. - - - OK GUYS, I JUST ANSWERED SOME IMPORTANT QUESTIONS ABOVE. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST, SO YOU WILL GET MY TAKE ON THE SITUATION, AND THE ANSWERS I PROVIDED. [/QUOTE]
