Message: <blockquote data-quote="Edena_of_Neith" data-source="post: 171123" data-attributes="member: 2020">IMPORTANT(sighs)  Please pardon me, folks, I am deathly tired.  I'm continuing the IR, as I promised, but I'm tired.  I have a request to GnomeWorks:  At 3 in the afternoon my time, tomorrow, I will be resolving Attacks and Defenses for Day 3.  If you are unable to participate in the Attack/Defense routine for Day 3, could you allow me to assign the Veiled Alliance to Alzem, GnomeWorks?  Also - everyone, Dagger has had a very bad week, and he deserves letters of support.  He certainly has my support.  I am giving William temporary control of Dagger's Kingdom of Ulek until Dagger can return - William would play Dagger's power in the spirit in which Dagger would want.  - - -  Melkor has pulled a successful, and terrifying tactic, and I think all of you should appreciate what he has done.  Melkor used the corruption ability of 11th level magic (see the lists on what you can do with 11th level magic in a given time) to corrupt the people of Calimshan, Amn, and Tethyr in the United Commonwealth of Toril.  Including the military.  As a result, a new Power has been created, which is wholly on the side of the Shade, has it's own Attacks and Defenses, and which will fight alongside the Shade on Day 3 (that is, they are Attacking and Defending on this round of combat, to be resolved tomorrow.)  Any of you could pull this tactic.  For instance, Kalanyr could corrupt a small number of the Shade, who would then form a new 11th Level Power wholly on Kalanyr's side.  THIS CANNOT BE DONE UNTIL AFTER THE RESOLUTION OF ATTACKS AND DEFENSES FOR DAY 3, TOMORROW.  For the sake of preventing a runaway chain reaction, I am limited the number of times this stunt can be pulled to one, period.  That is, you can only have one extra Power at a time in this fashion, fighting at your side.  If that Power is destroyed, you can create a new one - provided YOU are not Disarmed at the same time.  Thus, for instance:  Alzem has one Power.  If GnomeWorks will agree (as I have requested) that he gains the Veiled Alliance, he has two Powers.  If both of these Powers use their one hour action to corrupt, say, part of the Union of Oerth, Alzem would have four Powers.  The Union of Oerth counts as one Power.  It could corrupt part of Alzem's people, to form a second Power (but not a third.)  The Humanoid Alliance, run by Mr. Draco and Serpenteye, could corrupt some of Alzem's people, thus forming another Power, wholly on the side of the Humanoid Alliance (and thus, the Union of Oerth.)  Thus, Mr. Draco and Serpenteye would have three Powers.  Tokiwong could throw a corruption on Creamsteak, corrupting some of his people.  Then, Tokiwong would have two 11th Level Powers.  Creamsteak could throw a corruption on Tokiwong, corrupting some of his people.  Then, Creamsteak would have two 11th Level Powers.  If you use your one hour action to corrupt a people, that Power is considered created IMMEDIATELY and can act THAT DAY.  Of course, to uncorrupt those people, you must defeat them in 11th Level Dueling, then launch a successful Coup de Grace.  I appreciate that this greatly complicates and seriously aggravates the already bad situation (regards the blood-feud between Melkor and Anabstercorian, among other combats.)  However, Melkor already pulled it, so it is only fair that all of you could pull this stunt.</blockquote>
