(IR) The 3rd IR, Turn 7 (thread 5)

Attacks often cause collaterial damage, and friendly fire casualties have been a part of war since man invented war.
I'm not complaining, it's part of the territory. And has made for some of the most memorable moments.

Mmh, just wondering, how true this is in IR:

"A god outgrown immediately becomes a life-destroying demon."- Joseph Campbell, The Hero With a Thousand Faces
 

"And a great sea of chaos will consume Greyspace, leaving destruction in it's wake...quite a poetic end, don't you think?" Hellmaster Phibrizzo chuckles on his dark throne..."These fools think I'm scared, yet they don't know what power truly is."


To All in the IR
Hellmaster sends a message to all the leaders in the IR, "The Legion of Dread demands that you surrender now, this is your final chance: Surrender now or be destroyed! Don't say I didn't warn you!"
 

At the Embassy of the Kevellond League

Before the God Emperor arrives, Ambassador Guillaum Dolanor mutters, "They are scanning us!! It breaks all diplomatic protocols. It's an act of war!"

Hazen shakes his head, a look of disappointment. "I expected this. The God Emperor is consistent."

Hazen listens to the God Emperor.

"No threats to you are meant here. Sadly, I cannot tell you that the Alliance of Dread has been vanquished and that our soldiers should celebrate."

"Behind your words and your actions, I have seen a man with a deep love of country and his people. I also sensed a man who suffered a deep loss, perhaps helping him to empathize with his people."

"I can not heal every wound, but I believed your pain needed to be addressed. I am not your enemy, and I hope that you do not see me as one. Despite the scan of the embassy," Hazen smiles politely and with his right hand beckons.

An Angel, beautiful beyond mortal comprehension, holds a child in his arms. It is an infant girl wrapped in clothes finer than silk, shinier than gold or mithral. She is deeply asleep, a contented smile on her beautiful young face.

"This is not a simulacrum or an illusion. It is her whom you loved and wished to give so much to in her life. She has no memory of her passing."

"Many assisted in finding her and restoring her to the world of the living? A Power mightier and purer than words can described aided. This Eternal Power loves your daughter and yourself for who you are and whom you both might yet become. Your daughter is returned. She has not been altered in any way from the last time you saw her alive and well. Love her. Her only thoughts as she dreams now are of the father who loves her. A gentle touch from you will awaken her."

The Angel hands Hazen the child. Hazen holds the young girl gently, and delicately presents her to the God Emperor of the Union.
 

Ergoth-Nog sighs.

"Wonder when Hellmaster learns to save his breath.",
Ergoth-Nog thinks.

He doesn't bother to answer to Hellmaster's weak and futile threat. Why bother to answer someone, whose terms of surrendering mean destruction as well, only difference being, that it's actually more likely. Especially when that someone is standing on brink of his own destruction as well.

"We have such a shortsighted evil bothering us, hopefully those summonings don't bring along as shortsighted good. We can always hope..."

Ergoth-Nog ponders.
 

A plea for a truce

Well, it looks like Edena's call for a truce has fallen on deaf ears.

Billions will die in the IR because people wish to fight. One party in particular wishes everyone to surrender. Apparently he never thought his actions would have consequences and that someone might be angry for attacks on their worlds.

(OOC: No criticism meant, Sollir. Universal destruction is a goal for your faction. Just as it was for Rhialto.)

After returning to the command bunker of the Kevellond League, Hazen listens to Gwilym Raonul.

"Well, it seems that the Legion of Dread is consistent to the end. They may destroy us all, but they don't care that they will surely be destroyed. One wonders how they keep morale up with such nihilism," Gwilym says.

"They are sadly consistent. They have no idea of what power is, what glory is, or even their own potential for goodness. I pity them even as I oppose them," Hazen says. "Gwilym, I have another important assignment for you."

"My bags are packed. The Taraakians, I presume."

"Correct, my friend. You are our best expert in off world relations. I ask you to speak with them."

"I am ready now."

"I wish you well. May Rao, all the powers of good, and the Eternal bless you."

(Must write Gwilym's speech later.)
 

TO EVERYONE IN THE IR

(The DM looks at all of you gravely)

I am looking at the Attack/Defenses for Day 5.

It's going to be bad, folks.

It's going to be bad beyond the darkest nightmare.

Please brace yourselves for what is going to be truly awesome destruction and massacre.

From the DM

He's not joking.
He means it.
The Attack he is preparing is colossal.
