Message: <blockquote data-quote="William Ronald" data-source="post: 179861" data-attributes="member: 426">Lord Ronald sends a message to Hellmaster Phibrizzo and all the leaders of the Alliance of Dread.  (OOC:  You seem to be confusing Hazen my PC with my NPC Lord William Ronald of Keoland.  Two different people.)"There are now no spells on me to prevent you from telling whether or not I am telling the truth.   I suggest you do a scan.  Mind control, teleportation and destruction spells are prohibited.""As for the Union of Oerth, you allied with them under Mina's banner.  You must decide if you can trust them.  However, unleashing your forces and unleashing ours would likely mean that whoever survives -- if any -- would meet the Taraakians in a weakened state.  I was under the impression that your forces believed that their survival was paramount.""The Union is prepared to act in their own interest and what they believe is the best interest of their people.  We expect nothing more of them.   Nor can we really speak for them.  We expect you to seek your own best interests.  I would argue that not attacking is in the best interests of everyone.""Yes, we  have contacted the Taraakians.  If it is a choice of universal destruction and a chance of survival, what would you chose?""Also, I am mortal.  Hazen is the one who has been transformed into an Angel.  He has made mistakes.  I have made mistakes so huge that the Scro Star League could fly their armada through and still have room left over for a few dragons.""However, if we do not fight each other we can be in a better position if the Taraakians desire to obliterate all.  If they just desire to obliterate you, then being at full strength serves your interest.  Either way, you gain something.  By attacking, both of us will lose.""So, while I can't guarantee what the future will bring, I can speak for today.  I suspect you would prefer to face the Taraakians at full strength.""Possibly you may be able to destroy us, and we may be able to destroy you.  (OOC: Sollir, there are more factions arrayed against you than with you.) However, we can chose not to attack each other and survive for the present.  No attacks mean that individually we will be stronger than we would be after an attack.""Hellmaster Phibrizzo, your people hold power to be valuable.  Does it not make more sense to harness your strength for the future rather than to expend it now? Especially when those whom you oppose will not die without a fierce fight.""The decision is yours, Hellmaster Phibrizzo.  You may wish to consult with your allies.  Patience is a greatweapon as well.  Perhaps patience will serve your ultimate aims more than an attack which would be countered by strength at least equal to your own.""No one knows yet if the Taraakians are righteous or self-righteous. You may ask what is the difference?  A self-righteous man will punish the innocent with the guilty.  So, if the Taraakians decides Oerth must be destroyed, obviously we are not helping them to destroy Oerth.""So, once again, no further attacks would be in your interest -- especially if the worst opinions of the Taraakians are the most accurate.  I politely wait your response and that of your allies, Hellmaster Phibrizzo."</blockquote>
