| Kevmann07-01-03, 04:05 AM | You enter the black citadel, known as Ok' Pnatemul. It is made of what seems to be a solid peace of Adamantium. The metal swirls with black mists, wards that protect the citadel from many things. You approach the gates, and from either side of you, pit fiends come forth, smell you, and then wave you in. Behind the great gate, you hear metal being moved, and the door slowly moves outward, allowing you entrance. Immediately, two eirynies come forth, asking for your name, then placing in on their records, before telling you to continue. All around you, human acolytes move around, doing daily business, and various devils are also about, doing random things. Then you enter the temple proper. The entire walls are filled with laws, scribed in the adamantium, and punishments for each law are also listed. Two great statues are on either side of the room, one is a dark cloaked figure with horns, the other is a statue of the temples creator, a large man with coal black full-plate, and a face forever hidden in darkness. Acolytes pray here, on their knees, begging for guidance. You more forward, the stairs at the end. Again, a pit fiend stands at the entrance, but upon seeing you, moves aside to allow you into the depths of the citadel itself. You are now in a large room, tables are here, a map of the entire area seems magically placed on one of them. The far end of the room is a large portal, beyond you see scenes of death and slavery, the ninth circle of hell. Kevmann is seen here, plotting with one of the tables, an eirynies waiting on him. “Ahh, I see you have arrived. Welcome to the completed Ok' Pnatemul, it is here were we make our secret plans. Only those allowed in by me (OOC: from the One Land Thread) can enter here, or hear our plans, or see what goes on. Here we can draw our plans without chance of any overhearing our words. Here is were our power comes from. Beyond here is the ninth circle of hell, my ally Asmodeous has allowed us access to his devils for our use. Come, let us speak!” OOC: This is a thread based off of the One Land thread. The only people allowed into the citadel are on this list: Kevmann Riggoras_44 Spellfire agogo Gellion If you want to post in character here and you are on the list, you may speak as if you were outside the main door into the citadel (be aware you are in the middle of human territory, and the middle of the human city, attack could not only come from those within the citadel but allso from the metroplois that surrounds it). If you are a new person, please go to the One Land, the primary thread, and choose a side in the war.

| Kevmann07-01-03, 04:14 AM | Now, now is the time for us to attack! But we are not to do a full blown attack yet, for we are too weak and our enemies too strong. We must attack with subtlty. I have spoken with our ally, Asmodeous, and he has told me of a disease we can replicate. It is a disease that effects all non-humans, non-devils. It is a slow death that effects living things, but to create it I need several things, some things we can only get from the other races. It is our job, we of humanity, to get these ingredants through subtlty and guile. First, we need a leaf from both the silver and gold trees from the elves at Peredhil. These I belive we can get through guile. And we need the egg of a silver dragon, that we can get from one of the half-orcs allies. These must be done in guile or secret, we can not let them know of our plans. This must be done, we must clear room for our humans. The flock in, and we are running out of room to put them. If we put in a disease, much death will occure, and many acres cleared for our advancement, before they find a cure. This is phase one, we must go with caution, one mess up and it is back to the drawing board for us! |
| Riggoras_4407-01-03, 09:34 AM | We can make diversion attacks upon our enemies to get the items from them, and then send inside Air Elementals under our control to do their job, swift as the wind, literally speaking. Or some other sneaky creature. |
| Riggoras_4407-01-03, 09:39 AM | I just read the One Land thread all the way to the end, and I have a perfect plan, Kevmann. Travel to the land of the Peredhil, with the excuse that you will offer them a gift as a token of peace. Once you are there, with me as your escort, it will be the perfect chance to take the leaves from their trees. |
| Kevmann07-01-03, 09:52 AM | It is an good idea, but let us see if the elves will take some usless trinket in trade for the leaves, then they would never know that they were of importance, and therefore would never suspect that we were the cause of any kind of disease :b: :smirk: |
| Riggoras_4407-01-03, 07:55 PM | Hey, Kevmann, I think you should put Spellfire agogo on the list. He's presented himself in the roleplayig thread, and wow, was it a gory presentation. |
| Kevmann07-01-03, 09:31 PM | Don't worry, I have already allowed Spellfire in, this is moste excelent, for our numbers grow, and they are failing. This is most excelent, Spellfire is quite accompished to have killed my guards so easily. The day of humanity will soon be here. Now, we have a problem, we already know what we want from the two other races, what should we offer them in return? What do you think that they would want? |

| Kevmann07-02-03, 09:03 PM | "Perhaps, soon we shall see if they accept our terms, then our next job will to be to get rid of that damned eye of the orcs, it is quite irritating. I belive it may see any kind of sneak attack we try, so we will somehow have to find out how to disable it. But that is only if they do not accept our terms..." |
| Kevmann07-03-03, 01:46 AM | The dark figure, Kevmann, sits at the table with two wonderfully beautiful blades sitting in front of him. Although at first glance they are beautiful, any human that looks at them wish a shudder, and feels the blades hatred of humanity. Your first instinct is to crush the blades, wink out their power, but Kevmann holds out his hand, and speaks to you. "So you feel it as well? Yes, these blades were forged by the several races against humanity itself. The blades are not just metal and magic, the have an intellect all of their own, and intense hatred of all humans are in them... So why, do you ask, are we giving them to our enemies? It was Riggoras who came to me with the idea. He lacks great power of his own, but his wisdom and intelligence is great, perhaps even beyond my own. This... blight... I plan to release upon this world. It has a power, because it runs on hatred. I planned to fuel this disease with only my own hatred, but in his wisdom Riggoras came up with an idea that will make the blight three times its original power. So here it is, here is the plan we shall use against our enemies! The leaves and the eggs are ingredients. I must corrupt all three with the unholy power of the hells, and then plant them here. The leaves will become trees of their own right. One will be black, representing death and decay, squalor and darkness, the other white, representing emptiness and dryness, desolation and baroness. But they can not grow on their own, from the egg will hatch a monstrous thing, half dragon and half devil, this creature will grow to massive size, the most powerful of all creatures to live. It will grow with the trees, fuel them as they begin to grow, and the dragon as it begins to grow. Now, here is when Riggoras's plan begins. Both the dragon-thing and the trees are fueled by hatred. As I said earlier, I was going to fuel them with my own hatred. And, I was going to grow these creatures in secret, but now I shall not. I will put them for all to see, because these blades, when in the hands of a person who wishes ill of humans, it imparts their hatred upon the person, who then multiplies it ten fold. From them, their hatred will spread and fuel the dragon-thing and the trees just as much as my hatred will. The trees are indestructible as long as the dragon-thing lives, and the dragon-thing is indestructible as long as hatred is alive among us. The tree releases the blight into the air, the physical embodiment of hatred. It will spread from here and effect all living things in this world except for the humans, for the trees as is the dragon-thing, are under my control. It will kill those low-born creatures and they shall become undead, and those that are strong shall be infused with it, and hatred will slowly take over their hearts and being, driving them to destroy, to fall among each other! The trees of the forest themselves will come alive with hatred at anything non-human, and the animals of the forest will do the same! The elves and the orcs will be fighting with those they used to call allies, and fight amongst themselves! All the while, my dragon-thing will be may champion as the army of humans tides over them all in a great attack! We shall be victorious over all! The plan can not fail! Does anyone have any questions on what we are to do? Prepare our acolytes, the town can not rely on animals and farming for food once this takes in effect. I want construction on magic items that are able to feed our population to begin immediately. In the mean time, we wait for our deal to go through, the elves and orcs will be destroyed within a year!" |
| Riggoras_4407-03-03, 02:16 AM | I am still concerned by Orcy's antipathy for us. If he doesn't make up his mind soon, we may have to steal the Dragon eggs for him. This would wound him down to the heart of his pride. Maybe he will try something rash. We should set a trap for him if it ever comes to happen. One last remark, Kevmann: the plan is a devilish masterpiece of genius! |
| Kevmann07-03-03, 02:28 AM | Indeed, Riggoras it was part yours, for it was your idea of the blades, I just thought to bury them forever. But yes, the elves also seem timid to accept our terms. We will take them by force if we must, but only after they blatently say no to our terms. But we can prepare, what kind of a trap can we set? That eye sees much, and I like it not, but if we act against it, it will be a sign of aggression and may cause war when we are far from ready. We must tread lightly. With the elves, we may try a more direct route. If our deplomacy from afar fails, we could go to their elev halls ourselves and make diplomacy directly. But this could also be an act of war, unless we get their permission. Also, we could steal the leaves while we are there if it fails, for being invited to their elven halls is the perfect opportunity to do as such. What think you Riggoras? |
| Kevmann07-03-03, 02:21 PM | "Great, now we have a problem, what are we to do about the silver dragon eggs? It is easy for me to summon evil draggons, all I have to do is offer them somthing they can't refuse. But silver dragons are another thing. I hate the thought that right up that mountain is the beggining of human dominance, but it is out of reach. So I need ideas people, how can we trick, lie, or steal our way out of getting that egg. And as it is going, we may need to come up with plans to get those leaves too, this may be harder to do then we thought!" |
| Kevmann07-03-03, 04:39 PM | "So it is official, they will not give an egg. So we have two choices, we either steel the egg or find another source. Stealing the egg will be very difficult, they eye watches all, and he does not allow us close to his halls. We could try and find a new source, but I wanted to see the hatred on their faces when they see their "child" turned into a creature of hell." *smiles maliciously* |
| Riggoras_4407-03-03, 11:31 PM | We can kidnap one of their Dragons when it goes out looking for food. Now, that would be so insulting for the orcish faction, that they surely would fall blindly into any trap. And then we could hasten the Dragon so it lays an egg quickly. Of course, the fact that all of its vital force will be drained away in the process is so... unfortunate. As for the Elves, we should ensure to get the leaves from them before proceeding against the Orcs as I suggested before, because after that we will be in a great time pressure when they invade. I thought I was convincing Silmarien before Lightfoot and DeepWoodElvenArcher appeared, and acting Elf-like as they always do, they are telling to not trust "the big bad ones" :rolleyes:. Oh well. This is what I'm going to do: I'll try to convince Sil to split away from them and to approach and join us. I always figured Sil to be the Peredhil's weak spot, because of the tainted blood. She'll be compelled to make a deal with us, I just have to put up more pressure. If this plan fails, however, it's time to prepare to rock'n roll, fight and take what we need from the Elves. |
| Kevmann07-04-03, 04:35 AM | "We could capture one, but we still would not be ready for war. The reason the plan was made is because the humans can not withstand a war from both the elves and the orcs... But we could capture the dragon as a non-hostile act and keep it as a hostage. Mabie even ask for a egg in return for the dragon, a life for a life. And as for the leaves, I still have faith we can get those without attacking. Sil is half human, her human side must be acheing to do what she knows is best for both her kind and mine... I must find a way to let that human side out without her turning from it... It must be so subtle that she never knows what I am doing, I must put my diplomacy skills to the test." |
| Riggoras_4407-04-03, 11:22 PM | The Elves have turned against us! I don't want to seem too rash and hasty, but I think it's time to unsheat our weapons. Luckily, I haven't been idle in the last few months, and I have gathered many treasures, among them the Elfbane weapons, that could turn the war to our favor, and many wondrous relics that we could use to recruit the most inimaginably mighty and powerful beings of all the Planes to our side. The Elves have obviously underestimated our armed power, and will sooner or later pay for it. It's your call, chief. They have attacked us; it is fair that they face us. This conflict wouldn't last very long. Just enough, in theory, so we have the time to steal the leaves from the Peredhil. Since they have insulted us with open hostility, it would be fitting that we poison their "holy trees" in return, destroying them forever. Then we will have time to kidnap a pregnant Silver Dragon and get its egg from it. The plan will march forth even in this heated ambience, and victory will be ours quickly. |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-05-03, 12:51 AM | OoC: Hi guys! I still haven't read the above - I did see something briefly about a dragon's egg....but shut my eyes....i'll leave it to you to decide whether the Scrying is permitted...you can of course block it if you wish...or, trick me with 'false posts', i.e. you may decide to allow the scry and then trick me with a ruse....also, you may scry Peredhil Halls too....if you can think of a magic that would work.. and there are some very important clues for you at the Half-Elven Foundation - a PrC I constructed that captures the exact nature of the Peredhil Verse. Silmarien is a Verse-Master. That Prestige Class describes vulnerabilities in the Meta-Concert - and ways you can saboutage us....looking forward.... :cool: ...you seem to sense or hear a melodic cadence - is it the dreaded Elf-Verse - and the air seems to shimmer in the nearby vicinity.... |
| Kevmann07-05-03, 01:20 AM | OOC: Thanks Sil. "Riggoras_44, Spellfire Agogo, we need to move now! Our plans must go into action, and we are forced to take what they would not give. What has given me this sudden insite? I feel something trying to peer into the black citadel, an elven magic is trying to pierce these walls with their eyes. Shadow magic is best at shrowding sight, but I can not hold back such poweful magic forever. Now, our first attack is two fold! Our first move tword the elven lands shall not be in force, but in stealth. I shall take a small number of my best devils, and we shall go to the forest. My shadow magic is powerful enough to prevent all sight and senses for a short time. First, I will blind the forest spirit for less then a few seconds, and then we shall continue into the forest. I shall then shadowalk in the plane of shadow to bypass most of thier forest defensis. We shall come out at the elven halls and that is when the real battle shall begin! I shall first try trickery to get in, then I will try to force my way. You must prevent others from entering the hall while I do what must be done. I must first smash the scrying device they have created, then I must take a leaf from the two trees. Then we must escape. I will try the quickest mode of escape, but we shall have to do what we do from then on. Now, let us go! Wait for my signal, I am going to attemt to trick them into allowing me in." |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-05-03, 11:50 PM | OoC: Kevmann - thanx for your work. I've just introduced a method for handling what happened last nite at Peredhil Halls...hava look. don't be discouraged - i've introduced a RRR standard and ARC standard and suggestion for 'getting what you want' (see Peredhil Halls). If we don't do this, or something like it, it's too easy (for attackers). Remember, you were on my turf - when I'm on yours - I expect it to be bloody difficult to get 'through' and really do some damage. I'm wanting it to be more than just narrative - with some 'real' chance of success/failure..... Lemme know what you think Sil |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-06-03, 12:33 AM | ....OoC Post Only: I've just read your Opening Post. Like Deepwood - there is no InRole posting here - How do you feel about setting up limited posting for Outsiders here? (Like at Half-Elves hall?) You are Thread Keeper here, and I await your advice :bow: Example. ...suddenly there is a distortion in the Shadow Magic. Someone is trying to break through the Shadow Magic Interdicts... OoC: as per your Step 1 2 3 Rules.....? Cheers Sil PS - we await your Action at Peredhil Halls - The option to have one go at Stone remains open to you... |
| Kevmann07-07-03, 06:27 AM | OOC: I shall enter a sentence on how you can IC and write here if your character is speaking from outside the gates. Oh, and one more thing, I noticed that you said that if we got the leaves and the egg that we would win. Trust me, remember that the draong-thing is fueled by hatred, the less hatred that there is the lesser its invunrability is. Trust me, it is a great plan, but it is not full proof! "As always, the try to assult my wards with their damn artifact! Don't worry my friends I have a plan for them that may work, but for now, we must plan. The first step of war must be done, it is time to make the fog of war! We need to make the enemy blind! First we need to kill that eye of the orcs, then we must do the same with the elves artifact. But we are not alone in this, Asmodeous, our ally from beyond, is going to help us further, in return I have promised him that I shall create a multi-universial portal for him and his armies. Suggestions my comrads, I am angered by our loss, we need to plan better!" |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-07-03, 06:41 AM | OoC: Received. 1. Also, we have frozen time at Peredhil Halls - you have One Action there - everyone is waiting for you - Orcy, Deepwood, Tan, myself. You may launch constructs/smite Stone or Flee - please advise. Note - there is a post at Half-Elven Foundation about the Artifact. Rules have been simplified see 11th post of page 2. 2. Also, Trees are at Formeno Naure - you must negotiate with Deepwood about rules of conduct for Outsiders - to get those leaves you need....message received about game 'not being over' and leaves. Thanx for the 'vulnerability' tip about your construct - make sure you are telling the truth in OoC. 3. I saw your post at Psionics today....i'm watching you my friend.....I kinda like the idea of a magic/psionics war if you think that's the way to go. Else, the Leaf thing could work too...make it a surprise.... best to you - Silmarien |
| Kevmann07-07-03, 06:44 AM | OOC: Don't worry, I don't lie in OOC, what would be the point? And also, I have already posted at your board, I hope this time around it works better. |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-07-03, 06:56 AM | :bow: i will check for revision in opening post - expect an assault....within limits you define there....when you least expect it. looking forward to it all - and again, thanx for being such a good sport. Also - to attract players - i'm sure no-one would object if you run a Human Thread here as well - i fully trust you to play it objectively. Just a thought. Anything goes - see you Suddenly Sil |
| Kevmann07-07-03, 07:08 AM | OOC: Ok, I made the change in the opening post... Now go back to your hall and DM!!! I have three RRRs for you to judge on!!! :D ;) :) |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-07-03, 07:57 AM | OoC: DONE! READ THE LAST FEW LINES of IN ROLE POST VERY CAREFULLY.....I trust you not to abuse the Gift...for the sake of FUN!!!!! Enjoy...now, the show must go on....it's getting very late in Oz - I must rest.....again, expect assault..... For...there is much at stake... |
| Kevmann07-07-03, 05:35 PM | "Friends, from this day on we shall now know the Gray and his lackies as trators, and shall never trust them again! They are not our enemies, for they are not openly hostile to us, but they are to be hated!" |

| The Gray07-08-03, 02:19 AM | 'Tis not the War that I desire to be long . . . it is actually life, in keeping with the Green. I cannot let one side grow stronger than another, as that would lead to victory, which would lead to elimination. If one faction is destroyed in the One Land, the Beams in all Planes, Cosmologies, and Multiverses shall become Broken, and thus the populations of the races destroyed here shall diminish and die. This One Land affects all others. The same is if the White or Red wins over another . . . the Beams would break, and all Existance would fall to chaos and Death. The Multiverse would, one by one, uravel, and I, upon the Last Minute of the Last Day, would die, Time and Nature having finally turned in upon themselves. So you see, this War must end peacefully, or continue until that Last Minute. Do you understand, Silmarien? OOC: This would make a great novel, huh? Or even a song. 'The Ballad of Silmarien.' Seeing as you're the only female character (I think), it'd have to be you're Ballad. Hell, I'd write either one. :D EDIT/OOC: This philosophy actually fits something you say about Kevmann a lot: ...for Kevmann is Unlife and if not stopped, we will all be snuffed out.... |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-08-03, 03:14 AM | OoC: beautiful! ....fairly said - but Nature is Balance in and of itself. A wolf is not evil - it just is, a bird is not Evil, it just is. Evil would have Nature Extinguished. For Evil is Narcissism - where there is No Empathy for Otherness - where One Will is imposed on all others - for purely Self-Serving motives - where the Birds' and Wolfs' being have no meaning - Where others serve only the Self - Where others can be manipulated wantonly.... The Quendi and the Peredhil would protect Nature - this I call 'Good' to us - it is not 'morality' but reverence for All Life.... much we have that is common The Gray... |

Fully do I understand the nature of the Red. Nature also is one of the aspects of the Gray. The Beam is Nature. Nature is the Beam. If you recall, Obad-hai, the so-called deity of nature, is one of my Oerthian aspects. I am Nature and Time as much as Balance and the Force of the Way. One point of your I disagree with, however--"Where the Birds and Wolves have no meaning"--an irreverence for Nature (and thus the Middle Path) isn't inherently evil. It is simply misunderstanding or ignorance. Most besides you and I do not understand the Way as it is, though you do not serve It as I. I hope now that you mow understand my position in the War. Though I would like to defeat the Red as much as you, I cannot, for it would end us all. OOC: This is probably the best boards roleplay I've seen for a LONG time. Glad we get each other. :cool: |
| ShoshuroKaigen07-08-03, 04:35 AM | Shoshuro Kaigen fades in from the ethereal behind a weaker demon and materializes and touches the demon's back, and infuses him with negative energy, killing him on the spot. Shoshuro seems to feed on the demon's essence and his eyes turn red and malevolent for a moment and then back to the cold, indifferent look before. (Vampiric touch) "I did not want to take part in this violence, but this portal must be closed. As for you, Silmarien, seems we are on terms. I do not hold your reverence of nature, but this rift into Jigoku must be closed now or chaos will be spread and unravel the fabric me and the Gray are trying to protect." Shoshuro looks to the others, and then to Kevmann. "Close the gate now Kevmann, or I will fight you myself to subdue you." With that his ghostly ninja-to materializes in his hand, infused with brilliant, honorable energy. |

| Kevmann07-08-03, 08:48 AM | *everyone outside heres a dark chucling from the inside, and then hears...* From depth of hell they shall proceed, And for your health, me you should heed. For the gates of hell are large and strong, and their armies ranks go far and long. For now I weave a song of magics unbound, So that your souls the devils will forever hound. Death, decay, murder and trickery, These things I bring to kill with mockery. The dark sky, the red blood, the cold night, I summon forth your enimies and evil's might. Let us see how long you stand at my gate, While I deliver you the seeds of hate. From deep within yourselves I call, The everlasting hate found in all. I sing a song of all that is evil and bad, A song of lust of power in the mad. For with power comes more power, Which I bring upon you with a glower. My death you can not bring, For it is not just shadow I sing. My soul is connected to the weave, If I were to go it too would leave. Would you sentance to die all that live here, For the sake of your hatred, for you bring a tear. I hoped to find evil in the depths of hell, Yet here at my gate, evil runs fell. For you think your cause is all that is mighty, And this is your downfall because you are flighty. You sentance another to die out of fear, When it is this fear that shall bring a tear. For you succom to your own self-presivation, when you come to kill with elation. Fools you are, fools you shal always be, To not understand the evil in your personality. You yourself did not wish peace, Even when offered by one who you wish to fleece. So your own evil shall cause your demise, For I call upon hell, and cause your hatred to rise. I call apon hell, and all that is evil, To come upon these that think they are right, To cause their flesh to rot and their skin to shrivel. Here they are, oh evils home, In their hearts you find a place, For revenge is their cause, and it shall not roam. Theirs is doomed, for they create what they wish to destroy, Evil begets evil, and theirs worst of all, Come now, damn them, for they deserve what they deploy! RRR: The effects of kevmanns song of power! I would read it carefully. |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-08-03, 09:09 AM | OoC post ONLY - NICE WORK! There IS a poet in you. :bow: RRR pending..... PS - don't let that stop anyone else/other assailant from doin' their thing.... :) it's gettin' late in Oz - am gunn havta rest soon... *See You Suddenly* *vanishes* |
| Kevmann07-08-03, 04:14 PM | OOC: This entire post is for within the citadel only, none other then the listed people on the first post can hear this... "The battle was lost, but not all was lost my loyal followers! For though the enemy is at my gates, they can not enter, and have no choice but to die or retreat. They are in the center of my power. And, a shard I have, from the artifact. From it I have created my own artifact of scrying. And I use the elven magic against them, I can only see one thing in the device, the trees, but it pearces all elven wards. Out new point off attack shall be the elven citadel, and this time we shall not fail, our plan shall yet come to be!!!" OOC: Oh, and still waiting for your creativness to pull something out of my song, Sil. I am looking forward to seeing your RRR. |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-08-03, 08:48 PM | OoC: Only - Cool Kevmann - some time in next 8 hours... - I'm still formulating.....don't you worry mister and make sure you read the entry at Peredhil Halls just prior to your Expulsion - it's very important to the Mythology *we* (ALL GOOD DM'S OF THE LAND) are building - and has very important clues for you...... I really really enjoyed the last few days - it's really heating up.... my best to you.... Also - Player Request (not a mandate, your Thread) Pnatemul must have Vulnerabilities too - else what's the point of trying anything on you .... Sil |
| Kevmann07-08-03, 09:06 PM | OOC: No structure is without its weakness ;) |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-09-03, 10:41 AM | OoC: True... Silmarien Hears the Spell of Darkness - she suddenly sees her peril in The Usurper's Words - for Rh'iel's Lends her Prescience - ....and is filled with Foresight, and a Quickening (Time Stop)to onlookers...there is a rapid blurring in the Peredhil Movement - as they quicken and seem to vanish...Time is now in Two Dimensions...where it was Unified previousely. But, she also suddenly sees herself in her own Image - a Being come to rend and break, to claim that 'her hate' is more 'important' than the Usurpers - a foolish justification for her foolish Violence.... Rh'iel's Image stands in her Mind's Eye. Rh'iel's hand is outstretched, in gesture that says WARD AND BEWARE SILMARIEN - Suddenly Silmarien sees herself and Divinely Small in the Scheme of the All - But Still in the Image of Miracle - as are all that Live - but also radiant with humility. She sees the child in her arms, the Spring Flower on Mountain side in breeze. The vast blue sky of Summer, the Wondrous Starlight of Starlight in Elf Eyes.... She steps into the Confluence of Future, Past and Present where Time is also hers to Command by Rh'iel's Leave....the Interstitial Lattices of Unspace - where Weave and Shadow Weave coexist Here....The Is and Is Not of Being..... For that which Is, Is And also that which Is Not also Is... The Both and Neither of Paradox, familiar to the Half-Elven Synergy... Her Demeanour Shifts and so suddenly do the melodic cadences of the Elf Verse. The Prismatic Power is suddenly Umbrella and Silver and Gold Radiance.....she strikes her staff onto the Ground - in PluriPotency The Verse shifts to Abjuration from Evocation - and as far away from violence and Hate as Day is to Night... Silmarien is a Master of the Verse - borne of the High Elven Magic, which is both "of" and "not of" the Weave of Light. The Peredhil flare into immeasurable incandescence For each Verse of the Usurper, there is a response from the Peredhil...the Powers Strive.....But, what is this you see, at Silmarien's feet, a blade of grass suddenly springs...from the dead ground. Now this way and then that.... Kevmann: From depth of hell they shall proceed, And for your health, me you should heed. For the gates of hell are large and strong, and their armies ranks go far and long. Silmarien: For Shadow Lands and Shadow Weave Be Born the Twin and Weave of Light Where Health Unbounded Rebounds Unending Gift for the Holy and forever Living Kevmann: For now I weave a song of magics unbound, So that your souls the devils will forever hound. Death, decay, murder and trickery, These things I bring to kill with mockery. Silmarien: So that The Light can Know No Limits So that all Souls can Find Redemption For what is Dark but Light Weave's Absence Dark's Gift to Us is Remembered Healing Kevmann: The dark sky, the red blood, the cold night, I summon forth your enimies and evil's might. Let us see how long you stand at my gate, While I deliver you the seeds of hate. Silmarien: Then shall Our Grief Become our Power Shall Find The Home in Healing's Dweomer To Provoke Strength and Endless Standing And Bring Light's stream to All Dark Places Kevmann: From deep within yourselves I call, The everlasting hate found in all. I sing a song of all that is evil and bad, A song of lust of power in the mad. Silmarien: Truly Spoken - our Disowned Aspects This Brings us Knowledge of Higher Purpose For Hate is not to be augmented But instead to point - the way to Healing For Hate is only Love with Tainting Is Trust forgotten and Unhealed Betrayal Is only Fear, of Loving Solace For those who Hate Are Only Lonely Love's Gift to Hate is Compassion's Solace Love's Gift to Us is Forgiven Trespass The Sound of Spring, when Winter Passes The Light of Green, in Forest Morning Know That Your Heart is Truly Holy Kevmann: For with power comes more power, Which I bring upon you with a glower. My death you can not bring, For it is not just shadow I sing. Silmarien: But Strength and Power are Different Beings We Do Not Seek, your Death in Ending Where Strength is Succour, no need For Power Our Strength we Bring to Holy Purpose Kevmann: My soul is connected to the weave, If I were to go it too would leave. Would you sentence to die all that live here, For the sake of your hatred, for you bring a tear. Silmarien: True Speech would Speak to Save the Living True Strength for Those Shall be as Singing The Weave is All of Isness Being Where One are All in Unity Endless Kevmann: I hoped to find evil in the depths of hell, Yet here at my gate, evil runs fell. For you think your cause is all that is mighty, And this is your downfall because you are flighty. Silmarien: We Rescind all Vanity of Vengeance Endless Give Up all Hate, for mindless bloodshed Instead we Sing of Living Vastness Of Life and Light brought to the Darkness Kevmann: You sentance another to die out of fear, When it is this fear that shall bring a tear. For you succom to your own self-presivation, when you come to kill with elation. Silmarien: We Are the Weave, we Know no Separation With Fear Rescinded and Freedom's Speaking No Need for Selfish, self-serving Motive For we do not Kill with Elation All Deaths are Grief to us Unending And Tears of Loss and Lamentation For Elves Eyes Bright in Starlight Shining Our Hearts for Life and Nature's Calling Kevmann: Fools you are, fools you shall always be, To not understand the evil in your personality. You yourself did not wish peace, Even when offered by one who you wish to fleece. Silmarien: We Cannot Know Hope without Despair We Cannot Know Good without it's Absence Our Wish For Peace and Eternal Loving Must Come from Truth, and Living Purpose Kevmann: So your own evil shall cause your demise, For I call upon hell, and cause your hatred to rise. I call apon hell, and all that is evil, To come upon these that think they are right, Silmarien: You See Yourself, Now Only Reading Your Own Aspects Found in this Moment For What You See is Only Selfhood Your Choices Only and Thence Your Falsehood Kevmann: To cause their flesh to rot and their skin to shrivel. Here they are, oh evils home, In their hearts you find a place, For revenge is their cause, and it shall not roam. Silmarien: No Revenge is Now for it has been Rescinded No Hate we Know, but Only Healing Our Hearts are Pure, your Gift Our Seeing We Are Rh'iel's, Corellan's, Elhonna's Living We Walk the Earth, In Wonder Seeming We See the Stars, their Silver Shimmer We Are All Stardust, in all This Being A Miracle Wondrous, and Wish for Healing Kevmann: Theirs is doomed, for they create what they wish to destroy, Evil begets evil, and theirs worst of all, Come now, damn them, for they deserve what they deploy! Silmarien: That which we Deploy is Purely Healing That which we Make is Creator's Image That which we Touch is Compassion's Image In Homage Now to Exalted Privilege Now *Mythal Strong* *High Elven Purpose* High Magic Light of Weave's Light Purpose In Prescience Now, And Second Chances More Potent Than the Spring's Bright Purpose Be Born All Life this Moment Bring Forth the Green of Tree and Grasses Look Hither Life, for New Beginnings Arrival From the Weave of Living... .....Silmarien feels Rh'iel's Presence within Her - the *Readied* Voice of AllMagicStilled.....Her Mental Sending also not audible to the Usurper - "Ready the Gate at First Sign of Trouble - We are enacting the Earth-Healing... |
| The Gray07-09-03, 02:42 PM | The Gray still floats in his position in the the Sky, watching it all very carefully. And still the Book speaks to me . . . even now. His eyes flash, for an instant, from Gray to Green and back again . . . an suddenly a young tree sprouts from the ground below him, and begins to slowly grow up to Him . . . The Green comes to me . . . it may not be necessary . . . |
| Demon Lightfoot07-09-03, 03:24 PM | Lightfoot stands a atop a bluff away from Ok' Pnatemul, filled with curiosity; the alien spell-songs that wend their way about each other seem to pulse and grow in the distance. He has little fear of Kevmann's rhyme, for long ago he accepted and made his peace with the darkness dwelling within himself, thus mastering it. He whispers an invocation: Darkness breeds Darkness Except when it births the Light Which cold shadows flee. |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-09-03, 08:36 PM | OoC: Uber-DM warning to good guys/Kev's enemies - Kevmann has Invitation to Become Sauronic is Scope - b/c he has been so bloody generous in playing the 'bad-guy'... :bow: i leave it to the Neutrals to fix this - if no other 'baddies' arrive. I'm busy building rapport with folk on Drow and Orc threads at the Foundations......hopefully, our Baddies will expand...at which time....well...we'll all worry about being consumed by fellness then...and it makes it more thrilling to be *really* threatened.... ...Silmarien Hears The Gray's Chant, and sees Demon Lightfoot's Fearless Radiance...again, she bursts into Joyous Tears - that flow freely down her face, and infusing the Elf-Verse with their waters.....The Tears explode into Dweomer as they are touched by the Healing Verse.....she Firms her Resolve....while Enacting the Great Healing...perilous for the Brazen Dare - right before the Black Gates of Hell...but, she knows the Usurper has a Shard of the Great Stone, and her fear of self-preservation does not drive her....for the OneLand is in great danger of being Consumed by Darkness...."This Must Be Prevented" - and she feels the Elves and Half-Elves Singing in her Heart... OoC: Desperate Enaction is a Half-Elven Synergy Feat, Dual Grace (ditto Feat) triggered by The Company of Compassion and Hope.....see Half-Elven Foundation for details..... To The Neutrals : While Sil is good - she has sufficient wisdom to know that Darkness is the Cost of Elven Wisdom.....two Polar Opposites - coexistant twins....a great grief to her, this Knowing....the paradox of the Both&Neither...hence her compassion for The Usurper's Plight, which to her is source of Sadness and Lamentation.... |
| Kevmann07-09-03, 09:17 PM | OOC: Hey guys, due to the invatation to become Sauronic, I will have to realy think about this. Give me time, mabie I will have something tommorrow Till then :smirk: :behold: :b: |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-09-03, 09:53 PM | OoC: The Credits Roll on Today's Episode in the OneLand... *To Be Continued*....in *Episode Two* of The First Battle At Pnatemul... The Dagor ????? (Dagor Means 'battle' In Elvish...there were Five Great Battles between The High Elves and Morgoth Bauglir in the First Age of Middle Earth - in Beleriand....each had 'Dagor' as the first word....and a second word - not always pretty......) What will become of the Land's Heroes? Will Silmarien's Srivings succeed? Is she on another kind of Sortie - not yet evident in her Magiks? What will become of Kevmann & The Neutrals? ...may the Tension Build Exquisitely ..... :bow: ThanX Kev...we will check e-mails with baited breath... In Mean time - EVERYONE KEEP ARRIVING....Let's go grab some Dwarves....hmmmmm....... *Vanishes with silent Purpose* ....take care everyone... trails in the Aether |
| The Gray07-09-03, 10:06 PM | OOC: The Dagor Pnatemul, maybe? Kevmann, maybe you could create a ranslation of your Citadel's name. Dagor Kevmann? Hm. |
| Kevmann07-10-03, 11:04 AM | The doors to Ok'Pnatemul finnaly swing open, and out strides kevmann, or what you think is kevmann. He is huge, nearly ten feet tall, and his face, covered in darkness like always, now has a pair of red eyes coming out from it. Now, you shudder from his presence, as now he does not just exude darkness, but seems to be the embodiment of it. On his hand you see a shine, a ring with the shard of the elven artifact on it. He speaks to you, and his voice seems like death... "See Sil, see what you have done to me, I now am the greatest power in the universe! You all will bow down before me or die!" OOC: For your information, here is the stats for the ring... Ring of Elven Bane: This ring was forged by dark, unholy magic with a shard of a great elven artifact. It was corrupted to be the death of all elves. It has several abilities... 1. The wearer gains a spell resistance of 10 + his level against all magic used by a spellcaster with elven blood. (SR50!) 2. The wearer spells gains +10 to penetrate spell resistance of those with elven blood and magic items made of elven blood. 3. The wearers dispell checks gain +10 vs all spells cast by spellcasters with elven blood. 4. The wearer is able to use the ring and cast greater scrying at will, and gains +10 to his scry check when scrying agianst targets with elven blood. 5. The wearer is immune to all divination spells. And... he has somthing else that I will reveal later! |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-10-03, 12:26 PM | OoC: OH SH_IT = Coolness Plus ..The Great Black Gates Open - and out vomits the stench of Death and Corruption. The Dark Lord strides Forth - adorned with The Ring of The Elf Bane - it's Light the very Essence of Corruption.... The Peredhil shudder to their cores - their Voices Waver - as the Verse Falters.....for Elf-Blood they have.....as they recognise this Doom that Falls upon the OneLand...... But Courage is Silmarien's Ward - for she is also of Human Origins.....she is unwavering in Her Purpose....this Desperate Enaction.... She does not seek to Penetrate the Usurper - or assault him in ways his fear imagines. Ever does Evil see Assault, Violence, Threat and Rending. Consumed with Itself, and ever scheming for over Lordship, and Subordinating of Otherness to Itself. So that all It sees is 'just so'. Kevmann is yet blind to her True Purpose.... And Silmarien Has No Magic Resistance - for She is Master of the Verse - and has no need for it. She sees this Abomination, striding out from the Dark Gates, and does not falter - for Her Gift is to Life and she does not fear her death.... She feels compassion for his Illness - for his Wrongness - for she knows that Ill is the Cost of Elven Wisdom.....and ever has this been so. They Sing - Usurper Devises - His Elven Murders No Heed for Life - Beyond his Vengeance Again she strikes Rune Staff on the Earth, detonating a Thunder Clap. The Abjuration flares to incandescence - in Defence and thence the Peredhil Empowers and Maximises this in PluriPotent crescendo. And quickening - thence to Conjuration - Rune Staff ablaze with silver and gold radiance....another Thunderclap, and Striving as Night Sky erupts into Day. The Peredhil reiterate That which we Deploy is Purely Healing That which we Make is Creator's Image That which we Touch is Compassion's Image In Homage Now to Exalted Privilege Now *Mythal Strong* *High Elven Purpose* High Magic Light of Weave's Light Purpose In Prescience Now, And Second Chances More Potent Than the Spring's Bright Purpose Be Born All Life in This Great Moment Bring Forth the Green of Tree and Grasses Look Hither Life, for New Beginnings Arrival From the Weave of Living..... Green sprouts from the Ground beneath the Peredhil's Feet, and saplings new and green, reach up, out from the ruined Earth.... As the Dark Lord strides forth, adorned with Corrupt Dweomer, the cadences of the Elf Verse shift suddenly again, Silmarien's focus unwavering, her Heart and Will now with Rh'iel's Being..... And this is not all.... For, the Blurring of Peredhil is Sudden. Time is Divided into Two.... She is Immersed in the Interstitial Lattices of Unspace - *The Peredhil Vanish* - but you can still hear the Singing - now Everywhere and Nowhere AllAtOnce.... |
| Demon Lightfoot07-10-03, 12:41 PM | Holy *censored*, Dude! Clarification: Is that SR v. spells cast by those of elven blood or all magic used by those of elven blood? |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-10-03, 12:54 PM | Originally posted by Demon Lightfoot Holy *censored*, Dude! Clarification: Is that SR v. spells cast by those of elven blood or all magic used by those of elven blood? Silmarien is Still Here....She is Split in Time...Fear not Demon! For the Dark Lord can be smitten by only the Highest of Magiks...and heed - Dweomer Exists that heeds not magic resistance - and all Magik be it of the Weave or Shadow Weave has Weakness..... OoC: Actually, there are about 1/2 dozen spells I can think of off top of head that need no SR check....I suspect he's just a mere SR '40' for Non-Elves...just as we'd expect of a scary baddy... He has not yet guessed the Peredhil's Purpose....Fear Not [B]HOLD[B] she booms |
| DeepwoodElvenArcher07-10-03, 01:00 PM | A horn sounds in the wooden hills to the North of the black citadel. It is the sound of an elvish horn. A horn that strikes fear in the hearts of the human forces. Suddenly rank upon rank of elven soldiers begin pouring from the trees. They wear heavy armor and wield longswords. At their head stands a tall, elf in similar armor. It's Deepwood. Drawing up a long bladed sword he crys out. Kevmann! You have betrayed the free people of the one land! You have sought peace only to bring war upon us! Yes there will be peace! When you and all your works have persished! You are a traitor Kevamnn, and a corruptwer of elves hearts! For this and your other numerous crimes, YOU SHALL BE PUNISHED! |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-10-03, 01:11 PM | [I]...the Everywhere & Nowhere of Melodic Cadences is Enhanced - all about you, reverberating - The Verse..... Deepwood!! Deepwood - Ever Timely in Thine Arrival - Great Heart, Great Bow, Light Heart - Great Heir of Elmacar The Great - The Chosen - - The Elves - The Elves - You Hear Tears reverberating all around you. HOLD WE MUST HOLD FOR YET A WHILE |
| Demon Lightfoot07-10-03, 01:36 PM | Lightfoot focuses his mind. Through the pitch-dark heart Of the sundered soul of Man We shall stand and stay. |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-10-03, 01:48 PM | OoC: *eyes red, head lolls, bites tongue as head nods* ........have....to.....go....to....bed.. ... *may the First Great Battle Rage!!!!* 1. The Abjuration is Greater Dispelling (+20) + 1 for every Verse Member enjoined in MetaConcert So, that's +13 for the 13 Great Houses of the Half-Elven=+33 (base)...and...that Synergy Thingy means 'the whole is greater than the sum of the parts' and exponential function...with 13 Peredhil=extra +10 ...oh yeah, I empowered it, and maximised it....so at another 1.5 Times to be used as an Protection for the Host of Allies, ie. to stop Kev making crispy critters of everyone - D-E-F-E-N-S-I-V-E This is her purpose in this battle, she wields it continuousely, until I return tomorrow....unless she tires or something... Total=150% of +43 = +65 for Sil+Peredhil's Power to Counter Magic (as Greater Dispelling). Don't forget to add in any Elf Verse Masters who join in.... e.g. (+1+2)+(+1+3)+(+1+4) for three extra.... 2. After 30 Seconds, the Peredhil suddenly Re-Materialise - just where they were before they vanished. A (planned)Uber Effect has just been built into the Mythology.....but no-one sees any immediate change....I will role-play the retro-active declaration when time is right. 3. The Desperate Enaction Synergy Feat was a Verse Healing (see H/E foundation, it's part of Sil's PrC). It's to create Life's New Growth and to Innundate all the Land's Heroes....in grass, if it goes wrong, Sil may go *temporarily* insane...Gives Hope Bonuses to Allies of Land = + ? You set that Kev. DC Check=? (you set it Kev)but note, it's High Elven Magic, see next post Gurth Gothrim Tel'Quessir...Demon Demon Lightfoot!!! To Arms To Arms...grass springs up about your feet, as The Gray and Silmarien strive to bring Living Green to the Death all About.... |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-10-03, 02:00 PM | OoC: just...one...more...post ....all about on the Dead Plane of the Battle Field, ruin, ash and the stench of death assault the senses...... The Peredhil Sing - Again, Silmarien's eyes flash with Blue Incandescence, and stare straight at you Now *Mythal Strong* *High Elven Purpose* High Magic Light of Weave's Light Purpose In Prescience Now, And Second Chances More Potent Than the Spring's Bright Purpose Be Born All Life in This Great Moment Bring Forth the Green of Tree and Grasses Look Hither Life, for New Beginnings Arrival From the Weave of Living.... Her brow furrows - her staff is incadescent - a pulse of azure radience explodes outwards - all across the Battle Field, immolating all the lands about for 1 league.... Grass begins to sprout from the Ground, new Life, shrubs, and all the Heroes are Filled with new Hope...living Viriditas brings Invigoration, and an exalted uplifiting, as the Birth of Life unfolds in the Dead Lands....The Forest Spirit Enjoins in the Healing Enaction...it radiates Green Viriditas towards the Battle Field... Eldar! Eldar!!! Fear Not, the Starlight Yet Shines....HOLD...WE MUST HOLD OoC: Mythal is High Elven Magic (Magic of Faerun). I'd encourage you to set the DC check with a reasonable chance of success....remember, In the first Age of Beleriand, the High Elves of Valinor maintained grasses right up to the very gates of Angband.....for where the Elves walk, there is always Life.....when we're back home...well...that's something else... |
| Kevmann07-10-03, 08:55 PM | The huge brute of Kevmann laughs, his great booming laughter filling the hills, even his own people shuddering from the chillness of it. "You still don't understand do you Sil, let me give you a clue!" And from then the darkness around him lessens, if only for a moment, and you notice two horns on his head... "They are not a devils horns, Sil, but you will have to use your wisdom with this. Until then..." Kevmann raises his hands and between his great arms a hole begins to form. A great pure blackness comes from it, and a cold that is beyond anything in the mortal world. Not only a gate to the void, but a physical embodyment. It grows to the ends of his hands, and then he throws it at those that are gathered. "Come Sil, see if you can counter this!" The ball stops two feet from the ground, and then it begins to suck. The absence of the void causes the world around to begin to warp, as huge winds begin to suck all around into it! Kevmann stands their laughing, apparently unaffected by his own spell. OOC: By the way, I have decided to give away my "ruling" rights to Sil on my boards. I still have control over the large stuff, such as how to get into the citadel, etc. but I want Sil to rule over the combat here. That being said... RRR: The effects of my epic level spell, total annihilation! I have not created stats for this spell, I leave it up to you Sil. But it is a spell that uses negative energy, and remeber I DO have ten levels of Void Disciple, the link is in my signiture if yo want to have a quick look at it! |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-11-03, 12:48 AM | OoC - AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH the Fun Scream of Role-Play, my favourite feeling!!!! *face gets all hot* *vanishes - for now* |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-11-03, 01:13 AM | OoC: Battlefield currently has - 1XElf-Lord (Deepwood - The Chosen) - 1XArmy of Elves - Orcy is Here - The Gray Hovers....he's changed to Green to Help the Land's Heal... - Demon Lightfoot..... - As yet, awaiting The Zollex, and anyone who wants to be here... Ruling - post your Role-Plays, place yourselves strategicall, make your battle cries, and GO FOR IT.... Silmarien's got this black-hole thing covered. She will deal with it in the next post. So, her and Kevmann are momentarily frozen in time...while we get the battle field around them going........Start Hacking! Plenty of Melee for All!!! The DEMON HORDES RIDE FORTH FROM THE BLACK - legions of Orcs, The Undead, The Corrupted, the Enslaved of the CITADEL - out from Black Pnatemul in wave after wave of vomit, abomination and stench...Twisted faces, ruined bodies, distorted features - all ghastly and vile, and enslaved to the Dark Lord - ruined beyond description. The Stars dim.......The Black Speech is All About in the airs - as the Mighty Spells of the Dark Lord invade the Material World... And in juxtaposition - the many thousand strong legions of Elf Lords stand in lines - spears blazing, Shields shine in Silver and Blue in the Night Sky.....a fey light in their eyes.... As Silmarien's Healing-Verse explodes outwards in Azure potency - a rapidly expanding sheet of energy of and incandescence - harmless to the Elves - the Night Sky is transformed...the Elves Faces shine with hope....outwards to One League in diameter behind The Peredhil.... The Elf-Verse strikes Crescendo and Green sprouts out from the ruined earth - living grass - fragrant as the Spring Morning.... Silmarien's mein is focussed - she strains in conentration.....almost losing her sanity for the sheer magnitude of the task....but she has been successful with the Verse-Healing - the Allies cry in Unison - we Hold, we Hold!! To Arms!! There is a mighty roaring of many thousands of voices - like a colosseum filled with countless voices - all aligned in purpose - Elf war cries, all defender cries radiate out in defeaning cheer....the charge the Legions of Darkness, Van Guards in long lines of spear, sword, dweomer ...... OoC: Hope Bonuses to Allies - you all get +10 to Attacks +10 on Will Saves +10 on all DC checks versus Undead Constructs/constructs from neg material plane.... |

| Kevmann07-11-03, 08:37 AM | OOC: Depending on Sils ruling, the immediate area has huricane+ winds due to the hole. |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-11-03, 10:40 AM | Kevmann radiates with the Necromancy of Elf Bane - his Ring casts a shadow into this world - an invisible, but palpable fell radiance that is Horror to Elves. Where once the fair Weave of Light radiated from the Shard of the Great Stone, now in its lurid crimson glow, the Shard releases Ill Elf Dweomer - a Necromancy of the Shadow Weave. The infusion of the Void-Necromancy into the Shard, has created an Abomination. Now a Hurricane is Summoned, as all Life is sucked into the Void. The Shard now radiates with the Shadow Weave. Because, as Mighty as the Elven High Magic was, there is Shadow in the Shard's Verse. Kevmann's Song is the Dark Verse of Abomination. Silmarien and the Peredhil grieve and are sickened to their core - sure in the knowledge of the Cost of Elven Wisdom in this Plane. The Balance of Power in the One Land has shifted by unfathomed magnitude, in favour of Darkness. All the Life of the OneLand is in Danger. Elven Potency as Elf-Bane - Kevmann Hellish pact brought to ruination of the Earth. The relationship between Lore of Law has been Altered Irrevocably, by Kevmann's Vile Darkness. This was Foretold by High Elven Prophesy in the Ancient Tomes of the Great City of Elves - Ost-In-Edhel and Formeno Naure. Great Northern Flame - Heart of Elvendom. And so, 10,000 years of peace, potency, mastery and Overlordship - is shaken to its core - and is Ended. The Earth is in great danger. The Dark Lord Returns through the Doors of Night - but in Kevmann's body, his flesh - now he is barely Human. And within this Abomination, this thing that was once a man, now burns the Malice of Darkness - Ancient Bane of the Elves, and of all the Beings of the Earth. The very Force that Expelled him - the Elf Verse - 10,000 years Ago, now the Conduit for the Dark Lord's Return through the Shard. But, Fear and Despite have no hold over Silmarien. For while the Imprisoned Human within The Dark Lord wishes this to be the fault of the Elves - this cannot be so. For it was Kevmann who assaulted the Peredhil Halls, and did slay Elf with Devil, and did Smite the Great Stone - thus securing Himself access to the High Elven Magic. There is a shift in Silmarien's Demeanor again, as this Foresight is in-the-Knowing - Now! Now! And Forever Now! "Amen" Sing the Peredhil, in the Plural Holy Hallowed Light of Rh'iel, Corellan and Ehlonna Aligned. Plural Pantheon BE! They strike Crescendo again. You are suddenly Summoned to Discovery. Filled with flashes of Knowings - as the awareness comes to you that the Lore of Law has undergone Transmutation in the OneLand. And so, with This Epipheny, comes Insight for Action. So what will you do. You can see Silmarien strive with the Elf Verse. An Insight explodes into her minds eye: Lore Now Permits the Fusion of Divine and Arcane Purpose. Just as Kevmann's New Elf-Bane permits - Kevmann has Broken the Lore of Law in enacting the Shadow Weave through the Shard. He fused Necromancy with Evocation - and Broke the Lore of Law. Silmarien is suddenly overtaken by PluriPotent Hope - a Chorus of Symphony erupts in the Aether. The Elf-Verse Suddenly Undergoes Transmutation. The Peredhil explode into Incandescence as Silmarien extends her Staff - now suddenly Incarnadine. She Intermixes Abjuration with Evocation - she is both Diviner of Rh'iel, and Master of the Weave of Magik. - in PluriPotency, she blends Holy Aura with Holy Sword (pg. 214 PHB) - there is a deafening explosion. This is her first Discovery. She Radiates the Magik Resistance of the Holy Aura - but now amplified into PluriPotency (SR=25+Synergy Bonus of 13+10=48, for 13 Enjoined Peredhil SR=No! See PHB pg 214). Kevmann's Penetrance may not be able to Pierce the Peredhil. Her Will against Possession is also Amplified - blocking Possession from Necromacers, Undead. OoC: See next post for dark hole thingy - ps, i am actually shi_tting myself.....that's how this got invented - |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-11-03, 10:49 AM | Suddenly, an Elven Diviner, a Divine Herald (PrC, see Mongoose Publishing) opens a Path of the Gods, which allows a second Elven Diviner a Divine Hammer, to Shield Silmarien from all the Blows from her Enemies. Silmarien looks up into the Heavens - the Evil Dark clouds are opening above the Elves and their Allies - the Starlight Shines down onto the Armies. Silmarien sees three stars: Silastarinnen, Telecontar, Gileledhen are aligned in Conjunction. The legions cheer again, in unison, and a Colosseum raw erupts into the Battle Field. A flash of Discovery erupts in Silmarien a second time. The Past Present and Future converge. From Unspace, from the Space Between Words, she is filled with Rh'iel's Wonder. Her Deity's Voice explodes into her minds Eye. "YOU ARE ONE WITH ME NOW! YOU ARE HERE WITH ME IN MY ARMS OF SOLACE. BE SUSTAINED! BE SUSTAINED! REMEMBER THE LEGENDS NOW OF THE WEAVE AND THE SHADOW WEAVE. THE ANNIHILATION IS OF THE SHADOW LANDS INFUSED WITH ELVEN MYTHAL. IT IS A DARK MYTHAL. MY WILL TO YOUR WILL. MY STRENGTH TO YOUR STRENGTH. THENCE CREATE ORDER FROM DISORDER SILMARIEN." Silmarien's Will - is the Force that creates order from disorder. The Act of Making is this Force - that Force is in all of us. All Living Beings have the Power in the Act of Making. All mundane objects, chairs, tables, all matter - are all also metaphysical things. These things are made with a Free enaction of Our Wills. We build with our hands, and transform matter with energy every day of our lives. We forget the majesty that is in the mundane. That a simple flask - is also a projection from our Ancestors into this Now, Here - a flask is a Device for Protection from Death - for it Carries Clear Liquid, that When Ingested, is Holy Sustenance for our Flesh. Our Flesh, also a Miracle and Vessel for Soul. A Vehicle to Reflect Life Back Into the Universe. Rh'iel booms: THE LORE OF LAW HAS BEEN BROKEN BY THE USURPER AND DARK LORD. IT IS TIME. DO NOT FEAR - ENJOIN WITH THE PEREDHIL WITH THE ELF-VERSE MASTERS AND BE TRANSMUTATION, INTERMIXED AWITH ABJURATION.......COURAGE COURAGE - N-O-W!!!! Silmarien is filled with the Half-Elven Foresight. She suddenly shudders in New Knowledge - and is shaken with fear. She knows what she must do - and this Knowing brings Terror. But, Rh'iel's Will Fills her Again. She calls to the Peredhil, and they Flare in PluriPotency. The Verse Shifts to Abjuration - infused with Transmutation. She Calls the Elf-Verse Masters from The Armies. Suddenly, the Peredhil Verse strikes unearthly Crescendo, and there is a dramatic explosion and increase in the intensity of the Elf-Verse. Her fear tells her to Smite the Usurper - to rend, and destroy. The Break. To Strike. But, Rh'iel warns her. "NO SILMARIEN! DO NOT SMITE! NOT YET. LEAVE THAT TO THE LAND'S HEROES HERE. YOU WILL BREAK BOTH LORE AND LAW IF YOU DO. HE CANNOT BE DESTROYED BY YOU ALONE. OR BY THE ELVES ALONE. ANOTHER COURSE AWAITS YOU." Suddenly, the Peredhil become Living Energy - their Bodies Converted to pure roaring Azure Fire intermixed with Incarnadine - in the blending of Abjuration & Transmutation - Defence and Destruction as One - the Both and Neither of Half-Elven Paradox. Rh'iel beckons! N-O-W - D-O I-T Silmarien makes a Leap of Faith - and in a sudden convergence, and blast at the Speed of Light, the Peredhil become coherent Radiance, and Light - they Hurl Themselves into the Abyss of Kevmann's Annihilation. The Augmented High Elven Mythal of Peredhil & Elves and of the Two Energies, Collides with the Dark Mythal of Annihilation. Thus, Will, Order, Abjuration and Transmutation collide with Chaos.....an Interaction in the OneLand never before seen....... OoC: everyone do as you WILL! Kevmann is still there all scary, and all the legions.... This ruling is outcome of several convergent Uber Influences, some the Allies, some Kevmann..... It will be clarified.....soon.... ....there is a Rending Boom, that tears the very Aether of Unspace - a sub-vocal but defeaning Corruscation of unfathomable magnitude.... |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-11-03, 11:27 AM | OoC: The Interaction between Shadow Mythal of Annihilation, and the Abjuration & Transmutation of The Peredhil Verse has....created.....a Zone of Dead Magic for all Shadow Magic of the Shadow Weave for 300 yards radius around ground Zero. While the Material Plane is seemingly unaffected, the *Destruction* of the Dark Mythal has created a rent in the Shadow Weave - an event with NO precedent. The Interaction Effect permits the NO Precedent Ruling. If any player can think of a novel way of interpreting or creating uber influences in Interaction, your Own Uber Influence will be Enacted....even though NO precedent hitherto exists. Now, the Lore of Lore was broken by Kevmann in the blending of The High Elven Magic with Necromancy and Shadow Magic of his Void Prestige Class. This created a Dark Mythal at Pnatemul. In the Magic of Faerun, a hypothesis about the destruction of a Dark Mythal is touched upon. While normally, a deity is required to destroy a mythal like Kevmann's (Shard Ring + his Annihilation Effect) (and augmented by his transformation into Dark Lord), he broke the Lore of Law by fusing Shadowy Necromancy with Elven High Magic. This permits the Fusion of ANY TWO constructs of Necromancy, Abjuration, Evocation, Illusion..etc. Now, I haven't had long enough to see what you can do with spell effects. We all look forward to your NEW INVENTIONS of Combo Effects. And, same HOLD FOR ALL WEAPONS, MAGICAL CONSTRUCTS, SUPERNATURAL ABILITIES AND SPELL LIKE EFFECTS. YOU MAY INTERACT ANY TWO CONSTRUCTS.... :bow: ENJOY!!!!!!!!! Silmarien |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-11-03, 11:37 AM | OoC : Now roleplaying New Constructs.... ....no one is harmed....but, where the Dark Lord Now Stands, the Shard Ring is no longer glowing......OoC: until he steps out of 300 yard influence - outside the Rent in the Shadow Weave - then he comes back On-Line...!!!!! ..his eyes still glow, an Elf Verse Master sends out a Mighty Sending to All the Allies...."HEED HEED!!!! THE DARK LORD'S MAGIC IS STILLED.....HEED!!! HEED!!! HURRAY HURRAY...SMITE HIM NOW - 'ERE HE STEPS OUT OF THE DEAD MAGIC ZONE....HURRY HURRY Suddenly, you hear a familiar Sound - the Peredhil Verse resounds in the Aether - and there is a sudden appearance of spherical dweomer - incandescent Azure - there is an explosion - and The THIRTEEN Half-Elves of the Great Houses of the Peredhil - materialise - out of Azure....for "THE WEAVE OF LIGHT MAY FUNCTION IN A DEAD ZONE OF SHADOW WEAVW.....To Arms! To Arms! AND HEED! DO NOT SMITE HIM WITH INTERACTION EFFECTS - LEST WE REND THE FOUNDATIONS OF THE EARTH.... WE MUST FIND ANOTHER WAY.....DEFEAT HIS LEGIONS!!! DEFEAT HIS LEGIONS - THENCE WE MAY WIN A REPRIVE - STRIKE THE UNDEAD FOE!!! DO NOT STRIKE KEVMANN WITH INTERACTION- FOR THE DARK LORD IS YET INVINCIBLE!!!!"[/I] |
| Demon Lightfoot07-11-03, 12:47 PM | Atop the bluff, Lightfoot sees the Doom that Kevmann has unleashed upon the One Land. He recalls a bit of Lore from an ancient tale; a bleak smile faintly tugs at his lips and he uses the piece of Legend to fuel his magic. Fear, Fire, Foes, Awake! Doom abounds in lightning-crack In war down goes all! Lightfoot begins to channel his Art; he takes to the air, struggling against the combative winds, unleashing walls of ravening bolts of lightning, sound and flame down upon the battlefield, as he makes his slow, tortuous way towards where Kevmann stands. |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-11-03, 01:04 PM | DEMON LIGHTFOOT! EVER TIMELY IN ARRIVAL!!! SMITE THE DARK LORD - QUICKLY - ERE HE STEPS OUT OF THE RENT IN THE SHADOW WEAVE!!! SMITE |
| Kevmann07-11-03, 01:14 PM | Kevmann looks around in supprise, and then at his ring. When once it was shining with a black light, it appears dead. He looks at it with supprise, and then to the closing of the hole to the void. He then smiles, and begins to laugh... "Still, you do not understand Sil, what I have become. Yes, you have defeated my spell, and yes you have suppressed my magic here near my citadel. But with the rules of law and order, you are only allowed this slight once, and you have wasted it. For I do not require my magic to defeat you, even though I shall have it soon. Want an answer to the riddle Sil? How about I just tell you and get it over with! I have become the first and only chosen of Gargauth, god of corruption, power, and guile. I now embody him and are a leader of his power. But that is not all, for now I and Gargauth plot to transend the laws fo the universe. A god is bound to the balance, for that is their duty. But a mortal such as I is not bound by such rules, for soon Gargauth will give me direct access to his divine power, if only for a little while. But this little while is all I need, for soon I shall have both the leaves and the dragon eggs I need to begin my work upon this world! And with direct access to godly-power, no spells, no protections of yours can stop me from gaining the two leaves and the dragon egg. And, you think you have the upper hand here? Look Sil, I have lost the power to show you, but look at the edges of your land! Did you think the humans were idel in your ventures? More people come in every day, we have more then two million people, more then 200,000 abled bodied and fully trained soldiers. And are you willing to go to war with them. I have given them this land, and they are willing to die for me of their own free will, but they have done nothing to you or your people Sil. Are you willing to allow thousands of innocents deaths for the sake of your personal grudge against me? You are half human Sil, these are your people too! Look at them, look at the edge of your lands! Our valley is so overpopulated that they have now gone to clearing acres of land to make room for living space and farms! Soon the dam will break, and the humans shall spread beyond the edges of your lands, to seek living in the elven, dwarven, and orcish lands, it is the natural turn of things. Look in the other world Sil, humans ounumber all the other races combined by three to one, it will happen here as well. Come now, it is time for you to make your desicion Sil, what are you willing to do? Come my people!" Kevmann yells, and then you see the outwardly dorment city come to life, as thousands upon thousands of soldiers come out, with ballista, catapults, and all manner of weapons. Mages, even clerics of Kevmanns own order are in the army, as they approach the elven army. Also, spread among the army, you see undead and devils of all sort, and in the skys above the great red dracoliches fly in an arc, making many of their enemies shudder form the fear. "Come Sil, the decision is now! I need not my magic to destroy you! I have become more powerful then you can imagine!" At this, he draws his shortsword, Godsbane, the sword of Cyric, which then grows to the size of a greatsword hin his hand. Godsbane is obviously eger, its want to drink blood makes all who look upon it cringe. And it obviously gives Kevmann strength, as his muscles buldge and his eyes flicker as a sharing with the sword commences... "Come Sil, you are half human, need so many innocent lives die today?" |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-11-03, 01:42 PM | OoC: beautiful!! ...Thence from the confluence of Dweomer and Diviner flow the Unumbered Tears of Hope - inumerable, and exalted in humilty. Radiant and vast, uncounted and immeasurable. From the Verse of the Light Weave... "....KEVMANN! You ask us to Parly with Darkness - ". She strikes Staff Heel onto the ground, and a thunderclap resounds as night sky flashes Azure incandescence. "To let our Forest Home be ravaged by careless axe, by hunger and power......thine Greed is as Endless as The Void - unfathomably Empy and Unfillable. You will NOT stop at land!!!" AND!! YES!! TRULY BUT ONCE CAN A LAW BE BROKEN - BUT - KNOW THIS - RH'IEL'S VOICE IS PROPELLED INTO THIS NOW - THAT - EACH RENDING OF LORE AND LAW BY THEE - SHALL BRING THEE THINE DOWNFALL..SHOULD YOU TAKE THE LEAVES OF THE TREES BY A RENDING - THENCE YE FALL. FOR EACH ACTION HAS A REACTION SO IS THE ORDER OF IN ALL LIFE.... WE STRIKE UNDEAD, DEVIL, AND THOSE YOU HAVE ENSLAVED ONLY - THE WILLESS MINIONS...YOU CANNOT USE MAGIC AT YOUR GATES FOR 300 YARDS - THE HUMANS I LOVE AND YOU SPEAK TRUTH - THOUGH THEY MAY REND NATURE WE WILL NOT KILL THEM TODAY!!! AS FOR THE LEAVES OF THE TREES- TAKE HEED, RH'IEL KNOWS OF DEIFIC PURPOSE - I ONLY LEND HER WILL TODAY.....SHE IS IN COMMUNION WITH THE DEITY YOU NAMED..WARD WHAT YOU DO WITH DIVINE INTERVENTION!!! W-A-R-D!!!! Deities cannot come in directly in this plane - they need Mortal Flesh to Enact Their Will...If they enter The Plane, the Earth Is Rended and All Life ceases!!!! THE LEAVES YOU MUST STRIVE FOR WITH ALL YOUR CUNNING AND CRUELTY - YOU ARE YET INVINCIBLE - DO NOT REND THE EARTH!! |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-11-03, 01:57 PM | OoC: To Kevmann - you, my friend ARE the PROJECTIO HERE IN THE ONE LAND of This Deity you name.... ....has COME THROUGH THE DOORS OF NIGHT INTO THIS PLANE - THROUGH YOUR MORTAL FLESH - IN YOU! The Return of the Dark Lord through the Doors of Night....from the VOID! ..TRULY YOU SPEAK!!! YOU HAVE THE FATE OF MEN! KEVMANN!! Today, you cannot be defeated - but you CAN be smitted!!! DEMON LIGHTFOOD, ZOLLEX, DEEPWOOD, SMITE!!! SMITE!!! ERE KEVMANN STEPS OUT OF THE DEAD ZONE OF THE SHADOW WEAVE.... YOU KEVMANN ARE DEIFIC REINCARNATION INTO FLESH!!!!!

| Demon Lightfoot07-11-03, 02:39 PM | No Ring? No Uber-SR? Groovy. ''Have a taste of a fell magick that has come into being from discussions with my fellows of the Council of Archmages, villain!'' With a banshee howl Swarming cheated hollow winds Frame devistation. Sonic-Substituted (per the Archmage's Mastery of Elements power) Meteor Swarm, directed at Kevmann; I use Mastery of Shaping (also per the Archmage) to form zones around my allies (Sil, et al) to protect them from the effects. Sound emanates forth from Lightfoot's hand, shaping swirling globes of glowing air as it streaks towards Kevmann, cutting through the hazy regions of darkness. |

| The Gray07-11-03, 06:37 PM | OOC: It seems I've missed a bit . . . (I'd like to note that my extra control over the Green, represented by the Tree, will lessen the effects of most spells on the natural surroundings of the Black Citadel and most of the One Land. Animals and other living creatures and Constructs are still affected, but landscape, etc. will be harmed less--but still harmed--thanks to my more-Green-ness.) The Gray's Tree has grown to an amazing height, and He now sits at its peak, watching this Battle with fear. The Balance has shifted. I must Intervene now. At this, the Gray-forces under Silmarien's control multiply tenfold, many beasts and Rilmani appearing seemingly out of nowhere. The Book's prophecy comes true now . . . the Last Minute approaches. The Beast must come to me. The basew of the Tree splits, and the Mist of Balance pours forth over the Land. From this Split comes a great Rilmani, equal in height and stature to the Black Kevmann, bearing a massive sword of alien green steel, green field-armor, and a shield bearing the mark of a great Tree. He stride forth from the gap, stopping just behind the forces assembled to War against the Citadel. The Gray shouts from the Tree: [I]Behold, the Beast of Neuan! He comes to maintain the Balance through Force. Sent to me through the Great Teacher, he shall fight for the Gray in this War.[/I OOC: The Beast is effectively the only soldier in the War besides Kaigen who will actually fight for MY side. He fights against whatever army that's currently strongest, and after this Battle he'll go back to the House of Balance. The gap, also, is a portal to the House, though most who enter will feel its effects on nonneutrals. Here is a summary of what the Beast can do: *He's effectively a DvR 0 Aurumach, advanced to 20 HD. *His Sword is a +10 shocking power greater balanced (+10d6 against CE, LE, CG, and LG) greatsword *His shield is a +9 animated large steel, and his armor is +10 gray (effectively +15 against attacks from CG, CE, LE, and LG opponents) full plate. He has SR 30 (which increases to 50 against spells cast by CE, LG, CG, and LE). *He also has 5 levels of cleric and fighter (making him, effectively, a 30HD character). I only gave him 10 character levels because the maximum is 40, and I figured that DvR 0 would give enough benefits, along with being an aurumach, that he'd be over-stepping the limit if I gave him 40 levels.) *He has DR 30/+5 against normal attacks, but 60/+10 against attacks from CE, LE, CG, and LG characters. *He can command any of the forces I summoned for Sil, though they are currently in her total command right now (so she can use them as she wants, though they'll disappear if the Balance is affected by her use of them). |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-11-03, 09:13 PM | OoC: just in case it got too confusing two Rulings! 1. there is essentially an anti-magik field for 300 meters around the black gates. 2. sil CANNOT use Uber-magik on Kevmann without 'rending the earth' - 3. You may blend any two schools of magik (e.g. abjuration with conjuration) from within or across Divine/Arcane/Bard/Druid/Ranger Schools. 4. The 'rending' of the Shadow Weave is a game-balance tool that doesn't ruin all the Dark Lords' groovy effects when he steps out of Dead Magik Zones.. I designed these features just so this becomes a Melee for Sword, Bow, Arms, and normal magiks.. To also 'clip' silmarien's wings - she cannot fell the Dark Lord. She is MORTAL - and NO god. |

| zollex507-11-03, 10:31 PM | OOC: Well, I'll further discribe my attack. Zollex's blade brightened as it headed towards Kevmann. Zollex observes every move Kevmann makes. |
| Kevmann07-11-03, 11:34 PM | OOC: One last post, then it is to bed... Kevmann looks at the elves around him, and spies the construct that is before him. He sees it is alive... Then he rushes it, intent of giving Godsbane a meal to satisfy its hunger, and to power the sword for the rest of the battle. The rush is quick, supernaturaly quick, and he swings the enlarged sword in a quick cut tword the left, but it is a fient as he pulls back on the sword, quickening the blow but missing the contstruct. But then he spins around, stabbing backwards at the arm of the beast, but it is again a fient. Kevmann lures the thing even closer, then stabs upward with the sword, hoping to hit the center of the beasts chest. OOC: Ok, that is it, PROMISE, must...sleep... |
| Demon Lightfoot07-12-03, 01:16 AM | Sil, not to seem thick as a brick, but are you referring to game-stats, or more flavor text? |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-12-03, 04:16 AM | OoC: To Kev - :bow: It was your intuitive creativity, that melded Elf-Verse with Necromancy&Chaos - thus the Shadow Song of the Weave is BORN - Kev's ABOMINATION inspired me to discovery!!! To Everyone: Now - all I did was formalise Kev's intuitive fusion of D&D Lore - and distilled it into a ruling. Grab your Player's Handbooks. Look at the spells there. You will note that each comes from ONE school of magic ONLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Kevmann's SUPER GROOVY ABOMINATION - has opened a Doorway to all of Us into another dimension of Spells....GET EXCITED.....it's only just begun. we have just all stepped into the Unknown with Magic at the OneLand..... :cool: Fighters ALSO have ACCESS TO THIS TOO IN THEIR NEW MAGIK WEAPONS. YOU MAY NOW COMBINE SPELL EFFECTS/SPELL CONSTRUCTS FROM TWO SCHOOLS OF MAGIC. I will explain by way of example: see Silmarien's "First Discovery" (in the Entry Above, just after Kev brought the Black Hole thingy into the One Land). In this example, Sil FUSED two PHB spells (Holy Sword and Holy Aura - which are EVOCATION & ABJURATION see pg. 214 of PHB.)into the Elf-Verse!!!!! NOT NORMALLY ALLOWABLE IN D&D CORE RULES!!!!!!!! This gives her SR=35+ and immunity to Possession, etc.!!!! NOT NORMALLY DOABLE. THIS IS AN INTERACTION EFFECT!!!!!!! Under The 'NO Precendent' Ruling, and by way of Dark Lord's Greed - where he fused HIGH ELVEN MAGIC - to NECROMANCY AND BROKE THE LORE OF LAW[B]this Doorway is NOW OPEN TO ALL in the OneLand! ...Rh'iel foresaw this! sobs Silmarien..sob sob......wailing Tears of Healing... Coolness Very Times One Thousand Guys..... YOU MAY FLICK THROUGH THE PHB, AND FUSE EFFECTS - .....DO THIS WITH PHB CONSTRUCTS EVERYONE...... [B]A NEW MAGICAL UNIVERSE HAS OPENED UP TO YOU ALL HERE - GRAB IT AND RUN WITH IT....N-O-W E.g. a 15th level Druid and 15th level Magic user Fuses Druidic DIVINATION (Speak With Plants) to Arcane Fireball (EVOCATION). In this Interaction of DIVINATION AND EVOCATION ACROSS CLASSES!!!!! The Interaction Spell can, for example 1. Cause a Fireball to Speak to Plants in a region - SUB VOCALLY, BEFORE THE spell goes off!!!!! or alternatively 2. CREATE AN IMMUNITY IN PLANTS TO THE FIRE - WHILE LEAVING THE FIREBALL ABLE TO DAMAGE Animals!! NOW ONE SPELL ONLY IN ONE ACTION OF COMBAT Where this was previousely a Two-Action Event..... e.g. Kev might now Fuse Necromancy with Conjuration across Two PC Classes (as long as he has levels in two spell casting classes, that is). But even if he does not have two classes, at the very least, he can FUSE two Schools of Magic from his Void PrC thingymagiggy, and create interaction effects there. Everyone got it yet??? I need to know if you haven't got it. We will stay in OoC mode until people get this....then, the battle can resume!!! WITH NEW INTERACTION EFFECTS. The schools of Magik are: Abjuration Evocation Conjuration Illusion Necromancy Divination......have I missed any? ....you may combine any two Schools of Magic Into ONE SPELL. Kev has just opened the door to the creation of a cagillion NEW EFFECTS. Imagine a Magik Sword with combo number 2. as per speak with plants and fireball...the PERMUTATIONS ARE ENDLESS. Let Us pay Homage to Kev for his melding of Elf Verse Transmutation with Void PrC Necromancy :bow: This is how he got his kick-as_s Spell Resistance, Penetrance & Elf Bane features. I *want* to see ALL OF YOU SURPRISE US WITH BRAND NEW Cool Magikal Effects..... You will need to be guided by PHB basics, have an idea of how the magic interacts ACROSS CLASS AND/OR SCHOOLS OF MAGIC, and then ROLE-PLAY THEM OUT. I will then rule in Uber-DM Voice about Your New Spell Discoveries!!! Any Questions for OoC mode before we resume Role Play????? |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-12-03, 11:26 AM | OoC: Demon Lightfoot - g'day - (aussie drawl) - I'm a goose! I thought that opening post on this page was Kevs - ah dahh sil! - I mean Silly-marien. :embarrass OK - to answer Demon Lightfoot's question - you have a sphere of construcs (e.g. spells, supernatural abilities etc) or constructs in your ARMADA already :) *rubs hands* *thinks to self "bring it on Demon!!* Now - with that last post just here, note how fusing two schools of magik Creates The Uber-Magik Fusions. *you* ALSO have access to these Fusions (they are Synergies of Schools of Magik). So, this means your Supernatural Abilities operate to New Laws of Magik. Our greedy dark lord (just as we WANT him to be) broke the Lore of Law.... So, fuse any two schools of magic, and see what happens my friend.... E.g. Demon I remember you hurling electricities...i.e. Demon has Lightning Boltish stuff (.e. purely EVOCATION), and I think I remember you have "No Fear of Darkness...for I have resolved the inner conflicts Long Ago".....(I would say that is HOLY DIVINATION, where "holy" here means "reconciled in inner Healing", hence HOLY DIVINATION (in D&D Lore)....or if not holy, if you prefer Neutrality, then at the very least AWARENESS of the role, place and USE of HOLY CONSTRUCTS.....*YOU* may now access Power of HOLY voice (if Good or Neutral)...and I guess, the Opposite too (if you are neutral), you ever choose...(Unholy/Evocation fusions). So, with the New Lore of Law (*sil cheers Kevmann's Meta-Rending of the Weave!!!!*), you get MAY FUSE THESE FANTASTIC IDEAS YOU CAME UP WITH INTO A REAL EFFECT IN THE ONE LAND... an EVOCATION/HOLY DIVINATION FUSION Interaction... Some ideas about what this might mean for your Character... e.g. Kevmann is normally immune to electricity with all his spell resistance...SR 50!! BUT! 1. Holy Electricity (with Synergy allowing you to HURT NECROMANCERS (i.e. Kev) or UNDEAD WITH HOLY ELECTRICITY). Now, in D&D, Undead are OFTEN IMMUNE to electricity (e.g. Vampire)...most certainly many of Kev's Necromatic crew would be immune to electrickery....BUT NOT IN OUR UNIVERSE - here - you can HURT UNDEAD with Holy Electricity...or (Evocation-Divination Fusion)- you can HIT Kevmann with this....in this model, the Interaction may CANCEL Kevmanns HUGE Spell Resistance... 2. A second option might be Channel Holy Electricity - you send a pulse of Energy from the Positive Material Plane out in INCANDESCENT Smitings....or that specifically TARGET negative energy (Necromancy - Dark Lord's Magik).. 3. You could also use this Fusion defensively...as an Immunity to Possession (Holy Divination) via Holy damage to Necromancers if someone to touches you...or 4. BEST: Your Holy Electricity DOES NOT HURT GOOD beings, but DAMAGES NECROMANTIC Beings - those with Negative Energy.. one important note - Kevmann is Invincible at this stage....if we Destroy Him, we will Rend the Earth. He has immersed himself into the Shadow Weave - the VERY FABRIC OF THE ONE LAND. The New Magik is PERILOUS.... The Gray is Balance and you too if you are neutral - he will clip all out wings if we get too upity/...... :) But, you can MAIM The Dark Lord - or try with new tools - e.g. an Eternal Pain - describe your Attack - and what you *do* with the New Uber-Magik Fusions... Does this help you?? :bow: |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-12-03, 12:10 PM | ...SMITE HIM ZOLLEX!! SMITE HIM DEMON LIGHTFOOT - BUT YOU CANNOT DESTROY HIM!!! WE WIN A REPRIEVE FROM DARKNESS. 10,000 YEARS OF PEACE AND HARMONY IS ENDED - THE LORE OR LAW HAS BEEN BROKEN. MAGIK HAS NEW LORE & NEW LAW! MAGIK HAS NEW LORE AND NEW LAW S-M-I-T-E THE DARK LORD - FOR THE ONELAND!! FOR THE ONELAND!!...ERE HE LEAVES THE ZONE OF THE DEAD DARK WEAVE!!! BUT THE EARTH IS IN PERIL FROM THIS NEW MAGIK.....IF YOU DESTROY THE DARK LORD WHEN HE IS PART OF THE DARK WEAVE, THE EARTH IS RENDED TO ITS FOUNDATIONS - SO WARD YOUR WAY FORWARD WITH YOUR WISDOM!! |

I have been disguised to look like him. He has been tied up in some buisness and shall attend the battle in time. Until then, may I ask you to refer to me as Deepwood and treat me as such, for if you do not, it wold hardly make the disguise work.

| Kevmann07-12-03, 01:04 PM | Kevmann looks at the elves around him, and spies the construct that is before him. He sees it is alive... Then he rushes it, intent of giving Godsbane a meal to satisfy its hunger, and to power the sword for the rest of the battle. The rush is quick, supernaturaly quick, and he swings the enlarged sword in a quick cut tword the left, but it is a fient as he pulls back on the sword, quickening the blow but missing the contstruct. But then he spins around, stabbing backwards at the arm of the beast, but it is again a fient. Kevmann lures the thing even closer, then stabs upward with the sword, hoping to hit the center of the beasts chest. By the way, I DO wish a RRR ruling on this one! |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-12-03, 01:34 PM | Originally posted by Kevmann By the way, I DO wish a RRR ruling on this one! Uber-Voice: Yes! Agreed! Define the parameters of your request. Remember, the Lore of Law is Broken. What do you want your Godsbane to do in the Uber-Magik Fusion sense? Define in role play and a brief OoC to help your friends interpret your wish. If you overstep, I will trim a little. Go for it! Charged for rest of battle. And, Shadow Weave! So, you must leave Dead Magik Zone to use it!!! ENJOY! |

And don't spew some stupid excuse how you are for light and for good, because light burns more then shadow, and good is in the eye of the beholder. If you are to know, I have never done anything of evil to you! When I came here, it was YOU who was hostile to me. When I offered peace, it was YOU who refused. I attacked you for the good of my people, it was YOU who attack two fold what was twor dyou. For my people, what could he mean? I mean that I attacked you because you were not to be trusted. Do you think I enslave my people? I think not, ask any of them what they hate, what they fear. Do you know what they will anser? They hate how they do not have enough farmland to feed there family, they hate how they do not have enough room in their homes to move around, they will tell you that they hate the elves, who so ignorantly and pridfully refused peace, and decided to bring us to war. I did nothing wrong when I attacked you. You refused my offer of peace, and therefore you declared war on us. I thought that it was the best intrest of my people to strike first, to silence your spying device that you constantly watched my people in their private lives. I say, it is YOU that is evil, it is YOU that declares war, it is YOU who are the evil one, the pridful one. And please, spare me your drole about how you are close to nature and light, it is bull.

| Silmarien Aldalome07-13-03, 12:19 AM | OoC: ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL Kevv :bow: !!!!! [I]...Silmarien SCREAMS again, in shrill inner Agony. The ABOMINATION of the Elf-Verse an assault on her senses and emanating from the Dark Lord and the Shadow Weave.....for even though The Dark Lords fuctions are suppressed INSIDE the rent....his Voice is still Connected to the Great Weave OUTSIDE the rent...... AN ABOMINATION!!!! But, unlike the Dark Lord, she has no need to hide this experience - as the Dark Lord hides his inner agony with Vilent Words... She focuses the Elf-Verse again....brough furroughed in concentration.... "Ever this is the Self-Deception of Evil Kevmann....ever claims of Innocence...EVER is thine LIES.......the following Harms are named against you by the Peoples of the OneLand 1. Thou hast Manifested the Elf-Verse as Damnation in the Shadow Weave of a Dark - ABOMINATION. 2. Thou has created a Meta-Rent in the Weave of Magik...this Rent straddles both the Weave of Light and Darkness - you have Altered the Lore of Law by your Meta Rending... 3. Thou hast Spilled Blood at Peredhil Halls many Elves 4. Thou hast Attacked the Great Stone at Peredhil Halls with Devil, Undead, and EVERLASTING VILENESS 5. In thine Greed and UNENDING SELF-SERVING MALICE, thou ART NOW ELF-BANE... 6. Thou are the Dark Lord Returned through the Doors of Night....but 7. Kevmann remains TRAPPED within thee....AND 8. Whilst in the Rent of the DARK WEAVE - thou hast thine Free Will as Kevmann - the Dark Lord's Evil is lessened when in the rent... LESS HOLD OVER YOU....enough less so that your Human Side actually CAN hear the following..... [I]...KEVMANN!!!! Silmarien Appeals - a tear trickles down her face.... KNOW THIS - MINE COMPASSION FOR THEE!!! AND THINE FATE.....tears stream down her face.... She explodes into Peredhil PluriPotency - "TO THE BEING HERE IN YOU NOW IS STILL HUMAN, I BESEECH THE HUMAN IN THEE - THAT DOWN DEEP, WHEN YOUR DARK LORD RESUMES HIS FULL HOLD - NEVER SHALT I FORGET THAT THOU ARE HUMAN SOMEWHERE UNDER NEW FORM...for LOOK! Though you be 10 feet tall, with Eyes as Fell and Red as any Evil, and though you bear the Elf-Bane Ring on thine Hand....this IS A GREAT GRIEF TO ME.....The cost of Elven Wisdom is a Heavy Burden....BUT She Strikes her staff on the ground again! Fires Explode out into the Night...WHAT DO YOU SEEK of the Free Peoples??? AND WARD - TAINT IT NOT WITH EVIL.....FOR *WE WILL NOT PARLY WITH DARKNESS*.....HUMANS HUMANS - CHOOSE!!! THE BATTLE IS ENJOINED, THERE IS NO OTHER RECOURSE..... |
| Kevmann07-13-03, 12:30 AM | No magic, no power, nothing but voice comes from Kevmann as he speaks... "See what I mean, nothing but self-deluded hate... You tell me that I have somehow corrupted elf-verse as damnation? This is funny, you tell me that you magic is somhow holy? Is somehow better then all other magic? How self-conceded are you? Magic is magic, it is the person who uses it, not the magic itself, that determines what you call evil. Shadow magic can be used for good just as much as your elf-magic... I created the ring of elf-bane not in offense, but in pure defense of your hatred. You say I have altered the Lore of law? What is this law, why am I beholden to it? i do what I need in self-defense of your mindless attack. I spilled blood, I attacked your hall, because you declared war on me and my people. We were outnumbered, we had no-were to go, I decided to attack before we were overwhelmed by you. A mistake perhaps, but I did it in defense of my people. You say I have greed, what greed do I have? You hold you so-called sacred forests and land against my people. You say I have self-serving malice? I have done everything I have done for the good of my people, and it was YOUR malice which made you not accept the peace I OFFERED, it was YOUR malice that brings you here to attack me and the innocent humans who wish to do nothing more then LIVE! Human side? I am Kevmann Sil, make no mistake, this power is the only thing that keeps my flesh from rending at you attack. I AM Kevmann, and you had better stop refering to me as if I was someone else! You say I am I am deceving you? It is you who deceve yourself of the truth. Your own kin wish for peace, wish for this to end, and yet you continue to attack! You say you have compassion, but you have nothing but hate, I hope your people can see the truth, which you have blinded yourself to." |

For while she is Chaotic Good - she recognises that others must choose their fate as they will. And part of her feels enternal relief - YOU can make the decisions that HER alignment DOES NOT PERMIT...SHE IS CHAOTIC GOOD!!! YOU ARE NOT!!! But, she says to you In Role ...ZOLLEX - BE CAREFUL - HE IS ETERNALLY TREACHEROUS - and his very voice of Damnation... OoC: DM-Voice:- you DP experience his Voice Amplified through the Shadow Weave as EVIL and ABMONATION - can see this in your mind's eye. The Shadow Weave is ugly and dark. But it does not SMITE you like it does Silmarien. Just like you can 'suffer the light of the Peredhil Verse' you can 'suffer the dark voice of Kevmann'. While CN, you cannot lead a Meta-Concert of Shadow Verse of Light Verse, but you MAY CONTRIBUTE TO Either Verse on your own. Now - Zollex also knows that if Kevmann succeeds, the WORLD ENDS. [I]....WE WILL NOT PARLY WITH DARKNESS...SMITE him if you WOULD - but DO NOT DESTORY Him - that will End us All![/B] |
| Orcy The Green Wonder07-13-03, 12:38 AM | A bright red flash come forth from the eye and the green wonder appears, fully armored for battle and riding atop a massive wolf. Behind him, an army of orcs, half-orcs, and the Knights Von Drache. He smiles. Kevmann, you say you offered us peace and that we are the ones who began war against you. Yet you attacked my castle, after I refused to give you the life of one of those under my protection. You use the bodies of the dead against their will, and you slay the living to make them your servants. Now, you ask us why we believe you are evil? I believe it is clear why we believe so. You initiated attacks against the half-elves as well, we made no hostile moves towards you. Your offer of peace was likely a scam to gain more power. I know how evil works Kevmann, I have seen enough in my time. Remember Kevmann it was you who struck the first blow, and lost. Prepare yourself human, for today, the people of the one land take up arms and fight! HOOAH! *note: HOOAH! is orcy's battlecry, meaning all enemies that can hear him must make a save of around 23 or suffer the effects of the fear spell, this is one of his abilities from the Green Wonder class* The Green Wonder charges forth upon his mount, swinging his massive sword at Kevmann. Bringing it at him with all the force of a raging storm. For within him the green wonder fights a battle to this day against his own darkness. A darkness he had almost succumb to in his early years. Now, he uses it to push him foreward and give him strength. |
| Kevmann07-13-03, 12:40 AM | "Why should the world end if your bloodlust is not furfilled? Why is shadowmagic an abomination? Evil is in the eye of the beholder, Sil, and yours is quite twisted. Light burns those in it's beem, it destroies those looking for water, it feeds yet kills life itself. Darkness does none of this, it cools those from the beating of the sun, it provides hiding for those who are weak. To me, your magic of life kills more then my darkness. I do not have rankor to the other races, I have said it before and I shall say it again. I wish to co-excist with the other races, I have always said this. I think humans and the other races have much to give each other, the trading of knowledge is always benefical to all. I think you should realy look at yourself Sil, not bring your twisted justice to me." |
| Kevmann07-13-03, 12:45 AM | "The trade was to be precious things, and I had promised with my word and part of the peace that the egg should receve no harm, that it would thrive and be the glorious beast that it was. The dead have no need for their body, and I have never brought back the dead of someone that I have slain. NO HOSTILE MOVE? I laugh at you Orcy, for it was you who cut the mountaintop, and threw it at the valley my people were to live in. If you call that not hostile, I know not what is. You do not even question yourself, so beliving in you cause are you that you do not even look to see that you have left it, that you fight an evil that does not excist, that you have become the evil you wish to destroy. It is not to late, my friends, peace is the anti-hatred, for no fighting can excist. No, I am not the evil you convince yourself I am..." |
| Kevmann07-13-03, 12:53 AM | "Elf-bane is not that, use your magics if you wish, for its enchantments are purely defensive... I leave you to your thoughts, but think long and hard to your "good" and "right" war you now wage, think of the innocent life you wish to waste for your vendeta. You have one day to think, I belive you should listen to your kin though, for if they have wisdom and compassion, you may find yourself the only one fighting here." And with that, the dark lords eyes go dark, and he shrinks to his normal size, the shortsword godsbane he puts in its sheath, and he walks into the citadel, the adamantine doors slaming shut behind him... "Think well..." OOC: Bed time for me, this is some good role-playing! And I am having some good fun! I will see you tommorrow! |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-13-03, 12:58 AM | OoC: OK - To Orcy - I can't actually see your post - my PC goes all wierded out sometimes....I will respond to your post, when I can access it... ...No Kevmann! You speak Forsooth (i.e. lies) The Shadow Weave channels from the Negative Material Plane - is Unlife - Sucks the Living Life out of Living Beings...now greatly amplified by the Shadow-Mythal Song - this is LORE!!! *A*B*O*M*I*N*A*T*I*O*N* Again - we give SOLACE to the HUMANS ONLY! Your Undead Hordes will not be suffered..... OoC: TO ALL THOSE WITH ELF BLOOD, Chaotic, Neutral or GOOD - DROW EXCEPTED - NEW UBER-RULING - WE NEED DROW..... So, ZOLLEX - you feel SICK/ILL when you are around the Dark Lord - he radiates a Sickness to All Those of Elf-Blood......when not in the Rent in the Shadow Weave.... ABOMINATION without connotation to Evil. He assaults your very form and nature.... ..WARD HOW YOU PARLY WITH HIM ZOLLEX - HIS GOD IS THE CUNNING AND BETRAYER - HE HOLDS GRUDGE AGAINST YOU, and HIS WORDS SOOTH FALSELY... DO NOT LET HIM SEDUCE YOU...WARD!!!! HE WILL POSSESS YOU WITH NECROMANCY... |
| Demon Lightfoot07-13-03, 01:01 AM | Had this written before Kevman made his last three posts-got distracted by dinner cooking Lightfoot spits, awash with magick energies that he has never known before, and speaks, his voice ragged from channelling so much unaccustomed power: ''You say 'Good' and 'Evil' like they mean something; those are only words. I fight to protect my kind from your kind, Dark One. I'd kill a thousand of your vile, threacherous sort to save the least of them. Humans of your ilk aren't rare or precious; they're as grains of sand on a beach.'' He pauses, momentarily overcome. ''I am one of two of my kind who yet live from my homeland, thanks to a horde of humans, orcs and half-orcs who thought that they could, like you, just walk in and take what they wanted from those who had lived there for countless generations. The Peredhil offered you uninhabited lands beyond their realm that are more than suitable for your kind, 'But before we go anywere, or accept anything, we must have a truce', you said.'' His eyes flare with Power. ''You have lied; what you want is that which you cannot and should not have. What you could not steal with guile and trickery you have attempted to take by main force from those who have harmed you not. Murder, war, destruction and ABOMINATION you have delivered to the inhabitants of the One Land. No more; take your females and their mewling spawn, those accurst undead that you brought with you here from your benighted place of origin, your demons, orcs and your animal-slaves and go on to the Far Lands. You and your people may yet live and thrive in peace with those of the One Land if this you do.'' His face is as bleak as a graveyard at Dawn. ''Go, or be Damned Eternal.'' |

| zollex507-13-03, 01:38 AM | OOC: Well, it took a while to think of it all. That was the most in-character thing I've said. "I will withhold my use of the Power of Good for now. I must warn everyone that it may be the only way in the end." OOC: Third time I've attacked. This time it WILL not be withdrawn. Zollex draws his longsword. It illuminates the area around it. Zollex charges for Kevmann, keeping his blade high. The sword glowed even brighter and burst into all-out flame. The white glow of snow covers the blade, forming quickly into Ice. Both Flame and Ice now cover the blade. Zollex gets close to Kevmann and swings down hard. He watches every move Kevmann makes. OCC: New discovery! Elements can now be combined! So many uses.... My sword is a +5 Chaotic Flaming Wounding Spell Storing Longsword. I don't have a spell stored now. I casted an Ice spell while I attacked (don't know any of hand; I don't have the PHB with me). |

But, The Gray, I make MISTAKES - Help me to foresee these - Great Being - AND HELP THE DARKLORD ALSO - where we Allies GO TOO FAR.... My reading, The Gray, is that we Have Balance at the Moment....but, do Speak to Us here..... In This Multiverse - where Creation is Possible with Uber-Magik Fusions..... What would you Coucil The Gray.... |

OOC: Third time I've attacked. This time it WILL not be withdrawn. OoC: The Ruling for the Outcome is in post below.. ROLE-PLAYED |
| zollex507-13-03, 03:37 AM | OOC: I forgot to note something in my attack. It will be withdrawn if Kevmann surrenders. However, that is highly unlikely. |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-13-03, 07:24 AM | OoC: DM-voice 2. To Everyone - about a new freedom for Kevmann.. Kev, the REAL person is here in the OneLand in multiple identies, IF HE WISHES. At the start of every post, he may add "This is NAME OF CHARACTER - not Kev". That is, he, Kevmann, the real person, may join aspects of his Role Play into our home threads AS ALLIES. We must always EVER remember that he wants to HAVE FUN TOO. So, he must be able to have access to Ally Activity too (if he WISHES)!! or else we are being unfair to him. His 'good' characters may not 'inform' the Dark Lord.....that is, his GOOD characters are GENUINE That is, he may be 'Geledin' the Elf at Formeno Naure, and assist the allies, for example, or 'Andarain', the Peredhil of Peredhil Halls... NOW! Some of his characters are genuine, some ingenuine......HE'S SUPPOSED TO TRY TO ENACT TREACHERY IN THE ONELAND. We are SUPPOSED TO NOT KNOW and to GUESS!!! Assume that Dark Lord is so masterful of the Shadow Weave that he can Uber-Magik Fusion to FULLY MASK HIS TRUE IDENTITY SIGNATURE - if he wants to....That is, there is NO magic that we have that can penetrate his disguise except 1. Unless the Mythal Song of High Elven Magik is used to TEST HIS FIDELITY..... 2. Another character, in another PC class invents a Fidelity Test. Remember, his "good" and "neutral" characters REALLY WILL AID US IN OUT STRUGGLE.... AND, NOONE mostly not Uber-DM is NOT ALLOWED to Test Fidelity of characters willy nilly. There must be a ROLE PLAY REASON for You or Silmarien to be suspicious in the first place. Using High Elven Magik is TAXING OF Sil's Resources......and just going up to someone and saying, "excuse me, i just need to blast you with my High Elven Magik is an UNGOOD action. Or a RUDE Role play action. In RolePlay zone, it might be insulting, or provoke the Allies to suspect YOU as Infidel..... REMEMBER IT IS ALL FOR FUN. If anyone has concerns with new freedom for Kev, POST NOW!!! Be as Dastadly as you can! Silmarien |

OK Orcy, your character's Powers are Amplified by the Uber-Magik Fusion rules. You have new Powers that STACK with your current ones... My reading of Orcy is that he has 1. Access to Unholy Energy 2. Access to Holy Energy 3. Access to Fear 4. Access to Elementals stuff (fire, electricity...) Anything else? OK With your New Power, you can fuse across two schools of Magik. One example for you, and hava look at previous examples for other chracters just above....& last page.. Eg. let's look at Fear (necromancy - NO GOOD AGAINST THE DARK LORD - HE *IS* ALL NECROMANCY) may work on Orcs and others in Dark Army, but not his Undeads!! OK, let's look at an Elemental & Holy Energy....Uber-Magik Fusion.... Fire (e.g. fireball is EVOCATION) Holy (e.g. Spell Holy Sword is ABJURATION - page 215) NOW - Uber-Magiked you can have Offensive Options 1. Your Fire Attack is actually a HOLY Fire Sword....and not only BURNS like real fire, but does HOLY FIRE DAMAGE TO THE DARK LORD (you can do this, because Holy Sword is Spell Resistance=NO). 2. Holy Fireball....Fireball does DOUBLE DAMAGE AGAINST NECROMANCERS Spell Resistance=NO Defensive Options 1. The Holy Energy gives you Immunity to Possession, and Attacks from the Negative Material Plane, while your Fire Attacks CONTINUE...BUT, in this model, YOUR FIRE DOES NOT HAVE SPELL PENETRANCE. The Fire, will NOT work against he Dark Lord's Spell Resistance (he has SR=40/50!!) But this option WILL work inside the rent in the Dark Weave that Sil created at the gates..... And there are many other combinations - you can select from the above, or make your own....ENJOY!!! [B]1. Define an Effect, 2. role play the attack, and 3. I will make a ruling about - how much damage you do. - how much you take from Dark Lord. - adjust Fusion if you make an error.....I can't make a ruling about your attack until you add Synergy to your attack... AND Uber-Magik Fusions MORPH each round. You can make them DIFFERENT EVERY ATTACK/DEFENCE Melee Round..... Any Questions? Cheers Sil |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-13-03, 09:11 AM | FOR ZOLLEX Zollex draws his longsword. It illuminates the area around it. Zollex charges for Kevmann, keeping his blade high. The sword glowed even brighter and burst into all-out flame. The white glow of snow covers the blade, forming quickly into Ice. Both Flame and Ice now cover the blade. Zollex gets close to Kevmann and swings down hard. He watches every move Kevmann makes. OoC Ruling for Zollex's Uber-Magik Fusion effect. 1. I'm going to assume you took Conjuration (as per Beads of Fire spell) + 2. Evocation for Ice Storm.... DM will assume Zollex is well-versed in Ice Lore, you will note that Ice Storm has no spell resistance check (SR=NO! so is best option in PHB for you), thus, you can Ice Storm Dark Lord, AND use second Fire Wounding to shield yourself from Attacks from him that Inflict Fire Wounds on Zollex...BUT NOT ON YOUR ATTACK ROUND, on your NEXT round. It's only one of several effects for Zollex's Sword Role-Played Zollex is exalted in stature - his Eyes blaze with the Light of the Peredhil - he is fell and grim, and unwavering in his demeanour... Zollex walks into the Rent in the Shadow weave - he thence breaks out into a run and unfearing he brings his sword DOWN upon the Dark Lord.... ...there is a mighty explosion ..... ***BOOM*** and a flash of Light the colour of Ice and Fire Fused...that resounds across the Battle Field...Zollex has NEVER known such power before - his Sword is Transformed beyond all his knowing in the New Universe of Magik into an assault of both Fire and Ice intermixed! .....it strikes the Usurper squarely - both Ice and Fire come crashing down upon the Dark Lord..... "ZOLLEX!!! ZOLLEX!!!! Calls Silamrien - FIRST TO STRIKE THE DARK LORD!! HAIL GREAT HEART HAIL THE MIGHTY ZOLLEX...THE ZOLLEX OF THE ONE LAND!!! HAIL THE ZOLLEX - LET US PRAISE THE ZOLLEX!!!! TAKE HEART TAKE HEART - THE DARK LORD IS SMITTEN" The Usurper calls out in immeasurable PAIN and agony - he is filled with rawing fires, and pelting colds - and by Meta-Rending, BOTH of these elements DO NOT cancel each other out..... Kevmann wails in pain....but, now....The Dark Lord still has God's Bane - and while God's Bane does not have Magik in the Weave of the Rent - Godsbane is a Masterclass Weapon, and Kevmann a Fallen Hero - an unimaginably high Level Assailant of unknowable potency....EVEN without his Magiks...he can do great harm to The Zollex....Kevmann readies himself....TO STRIKE BACK OoC: Kev, take 100 hit points...i'm assuming you have well over 400. Total this day 100 + 80 Demon Lightfoot. |
| Orcy The Green Wonder07-13-03, 12:02 PM | OOC: Orcy's magic is from his weapon, it has a massive amount of enchanments on it. He has access to abilitys that act as some spells but not a lot of them. His Beware the Wonder ability (the big blast of energy) isn't an elemental type of energy but instead pure energy itself. Thus it has no SR and there is no Reflex save. Now, just to note this, Orcy's Knight Von Drache class allows him to choose to, instead of dealing extra damage with a critical, break the bones of whoever he hits. Leaving them in pain and unable to act for 1-3 rounds. Anyway, Orcy doesn't have any actual spells, but he can hit something really really hard :D |
| Kevmann07-13-03, 12:15 PM | OOC: Wait, if you remember, look at my third post, for I retreated into my citadel for a day to allow you to think on what I had said, as as of yet my character has not come out again. One more thing, I belive every word my character says. *I* belive that your character, Sil, is twisted and self-rightious as well as self-deluded. DOn't take it the wrong way or anything, becuase I love stuff like that Everyone has their self delusions, everyone belives their are right in their way. It is a selfish kind of plague that goes against all human, elf, and even modern times. But, of course, that is how I run all my games, everything is grey (no bun intended, The gray), that is why paladins don't last very long :). But back to my point, I absolutly belive what my character says, and he is not twisting or deceving or anything, he is acctualy telling the truth (you know what they say, truth hurts more then lies)... But on with the role-playing... The great doors of the citadel open, and out walks the six foot tall human with coal black armor, his face forever hidden by darkness. "I am here, good elves, and I come under a flag of parley. Attack me and you break the rules of warfare, and prove yourself dishonorable... I have come, and I have heard what you say outside of my gates. You say that negative energy is evil? Energy that kills and sucks life? Have you ever been to the postive energy plane, Sil, it kills just as fast as the negative. Fire kills just as fast as negative energy, acid burns flesh, and your precious light sizzles the flesh off bones. Do not say my energy is "evil" for it is just as bad as yours. And you say undead is evil? For us, it has done nothing but good. The souls of the dead have long sence fled to the afterlife, and have no need of their bodies. Undead are little more then manual labor. With them, I built the city so that my people did not have to slave to do so. With them, I stormed the mountain, so that my people did not have to die. They have done nothing but good, and no evil. And you keep calling me such names as "usurper" and "betrayer", you say I lie, yet I have done nothing to deserve these names. I have never taken the throne of anyone, when I came the humans were leaderless, and Grimclaw was no-were to be seen, I did what I needed for the good of the humans. And I have never betrayed anyone, in fact, it was one of your kin that is a betrayer. Name one instance were I betrayed you, against my word. And I am not lieing, I tell all the truth, with words un-honeyed, without guile or anything else. Just because you SAY I lie, that I betray, does not mean that I acctualy do it. You say mixing the laws of magic, the schools of magic is abomination? Why? Is not magic the very study of going against the laws of nature, the laws of physics. Why then is it so bad to break the laws of magic itself? If anything, I have opened a wonderous thing to be studies, for it was quite accidental on my part. I come here in peace because I do not want to see thousands of my people and yours die today for a cause that is not needed, this war need not take place. So what say you? Will you not hold your hate and parley with me? Or will you break the sacred laws of combat?" |
| Orcy The Green Wonder07-13-03, 03:37 PM | I threw the mountaintop into the valley, this is true. Yet you had no claim to the valley, you said nothing of your people living there. I placed the mountaintop in a position to assist me, not to hinder you. What claim do you have to the valley? None. As for your negative energy, it is closely related to evil. Those who serve evil use it as a weapon. Or as a tool to fuel undead, who are unmistakibly evil in nature. The raising of ones corpse and creating a mockery of the living is never a good thing, no matter what they are used for. You attacked the half-elven halls, bringing foul creatures into them with you. You attempted to steal what we would not give you. Your bargin of good faith turned to you striking out when you were denied that which I had no right to give, and what sil would not give. Yet you continue to say that your attacks against those who did not strike at you are just? Let us hear your words of peace Kevmann. The Green Wonder places his sword across his legs and sits atop his wolf waiting. |
| Kevmann07-13-03, 06:02 PM | "You call undead evil? How are you so blind and ignorant? Do call constucts, automita made with metal and screws evil? For that is all undead are, constructs made with bone rather then metal, and energy rather then screws. They are no mockery of life any more then a statue is. And many that are "evil" as you say use just as much fire and acid and cold as they do negative energy, do you call those energies evil? And what about sunburst, evil can use it to destroy lives even more effectively then negative energy, do you call light evil? Think, good orc, of what you are saying. A sword is a sword, it is itself not enherntly evil, but it can be used to cause evil, just as much as it can be used to cause good. Negative energy is a sword, a tool like any other, it can be used for good just as much as it can be used for evil. The devils are the same, they are simply a tool that is easy for me to controll. They can do nothing what I say, if I told them to plant a flowegarden and play with children, they would do so, because they are under my controll. They may hate the order, but they can do nothing otherwise. I attacked you because you declared war on me when you refused the peace I offered you so that all of our races could grow and prosper. Why did I attack you first? Because you outnumber me more then ten to one, and I though that I may be able to win a victory for my people early on which would help me later. I failed my people, but here I stand once again, I wish peace with you so that lives may not be lost!" |
| Demon Lightfoot07-13-03, 06:55 PM | Lightfoot's voice cuts through the air: ''You come to steal lands that belong to others. You claim that because your demands were not immediately met, that you had no choice but to attack the halls of the Peredhil, and murder those that you could, and attempt, by force, using undead, devils and treachery, to take that which the owners choose to not give freely, which is their right, for some vicious plot. You do this and expect others to believe in your words of ''peace''.'' The corner of his lip curls slightly. ''Yet by your lights you, your monstrous creations, vile allies and wicked deeds, are 'good' and 'evil' is the term you apply to those of the One Land.'' Sparks gather around his clenced fists. ''Typical.'' The air around him crackles with blue-white arcs of electricity. ''You disgust me; were it not for the injunction against slaying you outright, you would not exist at this moment. But have a care; my patience is not of legendary stature.'' |
| Orcy The Green Wonder07-13-03, 07:36 PM | Undead are not evil? Undead are not a mockery of the living? You use the corpses of the dead as tools. You bend the bodies of those who have passed to your will. Yet you still say you are not evil? You use the devils as tools, and you expect me to believe some evil bargin was not made to bring such a large amount through? I highly doubt that. And you continue to stand before me and tell me you are the good one in this battle? Orcy laughs As for your comparison of undead and constructs. They are not the same thing. Undead are the bodies of the deceased, where constructs are created of pieces of metal or clay, and other substances. They are not the same. Now, enough about this, what are these talks of peace you wish to have. |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-13-03, 10:35 PM | Originally posted by Kevmann OOC: Wait, if you remember, look at my third post, for I retreated into my citadel for a day to allow you to think on what I had said, as as of yet my character has not come out again. OoC: G'Day Kevmann - Ozzie says....I take your point. You may RRR and Smite both Zollex and Demon BACK! - In Weave Rent - In the actual 'order of the threads' it was Demon who smote first. But, I erred in favour of Zollex - because, Zollex throws his FIRST RRR back to pre-demon's assault (Zollex hailed us three times to attack - we were all confused about New Magik and how to use it). HOWEVER, your point about Zollex going 'this way and then that' is also valid. I still haven't ruled about the long-term-effects (if any) on Kev by Demon's and Zollex's assaults - I'm still formulating, and will take your Point of Order into consideration. Thanx for pointing it out. :bow: In terms of 'hard-coded history' see next entry. Note InRole Quote next - Important From: The Memoirs of The Peredhil...Dated - Second Age - Year 5,312 ...for in the History Tomes - The Dark Lord did Assaulted the Weave and did effectively violate the very Lore of Law...The Dark Lord successfully rended the very Essence of the Universe - with a Meta-Rending of the Great Weave of Both Light and Shadow...this resulted in a dramatic shift in the Balance of Power. Whence Kevmann did Fuse Necromancy with the Dweomer of the Elf-Verse in the Shard of the Great Stone - the Universe was Torn - invisibly to the Material Plane - but ALL MAGIK in the OneLand suddenly became Perilous to all...for, now people had such vast and unknown Magik they could now draw from The Great Weave of Magik...Recall that All Magik is derived from the Weave - be that Magik Necromancy, Transumtation or otherwise. At the End of the First Age (that lasted 10,0000 years), thence Did Kevmann create a Dark Mythal outside of Pnatemul - a Black Hole - and this Moment is the first day of the Second Age of the OneLand. The First Day that the Allies discovered their vast new Powers. For, unbenknownst to the Dark Lord, Silmarien leaned an insight into the Organisation of the Universe - and by Kevmann's Greed, she was able to see how to invent a method to create rents in the Shadow Weave. Lending Rh'iel's Will, Silmarien was able to fuse Abjuration with Transmutation - a feat not hitherto possible in the OneLand - and with The Will of Rh'iel burning strong in her - she summoned the Elf-Verse Masters to Augment Silmarien's Meta-Concert of High Elven Magik.. Thence, Silmarien Wove a New Power into Being - and with Synergy & Divine Will - plunged into the Chaos of the Black Hole - and did Destroy the Dark Mythal and also created a Zone of Dead Magik to users of the Shadow Weave - outside the very gates of Pnatemul...... One more thing, I belive every word my character says. *I* belive that your character, Sil, is twisted and self-rightious as well as self-deluded. OoC : BRING IT ON KEV - I AM VERY DIFFICULT TO OFFEND WHEN I KNOW IT'S FOR F*U*N!!!!! :) I look forward to the NASTIEST INSULTS YOU CAN IMAGINE.. The great doors of the citadel open, and out walks the six foot tall human with coal black armor, his face forever hidden by darkness. "I am here, good elves, and I come under a flag of parley. Attack me and you break the rules of warfare, and prove yourself dishonorable... I have come, and I have heard what you say outside of my gates. You say that negative energy is evil?

And I am not lieing, I tell all the truth, with words un-honeyed, without guile or anything else. Just because you SAY I lie, that I betray, does not mean that I acctualy do it. ....Silmarien hears this Fell Voice reverberate through the Weave of Light - and it is VAST and gruesome to her. It is an assault on all that she values, loves, and holds dear. Silmarien knows that the Usurper is filled with despite, cruelty, deception and trickery. She knows this by the Feeling that comes with The Dark Lord's Voice. To Silmarien, it is not about Evil necessarily, but about Health. The Elf-Bane is an ASSAULT on the HEALTH and vitality of All Those With Elven Blood.... *****BOOOOOMMMM******* Silmarien strikes staff heel on the Earth, now her Power is greatly amplified by Synergy of Magik Fusions......Again, a corruscation of living energy - Blue for Abjuration, intermixed with the Red of Fire-Evocation. Paradoxically, the fires are BOTH blue and red - and not green in this fusion....and alien/different to the powers of The Gray. Yet, all Beings that use magik DRAW ON THE WEAVE. The Night Sky is transformed into blindnig light... Silmarien Speaks with PluriPotency - infused with Peredhil Lore masters in a Meta-Concert.. "YOU HAVE BECOME AN ABOMINATION KEVMANN. WE CANNOT DESTROY YOU WITH OUR MAGIK WITHOUT DESTROYING THE EARTH. YOU HAVE BROKEN THE LIMITS THAT SEPARATED MAGIC IN OUR SPELLS. YOUR HAVE ALTERED THE VARY LORE THAT ORGANISES THE UNIVERSE. THIS IS A META-RENDING OF THE GREAT WEAVE. YOU HAVE *T*O*R*N* THE EARTH" At This the Peredhil Verse Explodes into Power infused with Tears - for now water streams down Silmarien's face....again.....for she feels the Pain of the Great Rending in the Light Weave. She feels the Earth's Pain, she feels the great harm - the ABOMINATION committed by the Dark Lord as Bodily Pain.... Power EXPLODES From her staff ***BOOOOOOMMMMMM***** And Evocation-Conjuration Fusion is exploded into the Night Skies - "WE WILL NOT SUFFER YOUR LIES" THE HUMANS MAY SHARE OUR LANDS - THOSE WHO ARE NOT EVIL I *Will* *Not* *Parly* *With* *Darkness* ****BBBBOOOOOOMMMMMM**** again "YOUR NECROMANTIC BEINGS WE WILL SLAY ON THE BATTLE FIELD. WE WILL STORM THE DEAD MAGIC AND WE WILL FIGHT TO SAVE OUR EARTH" ****BBBBOOOOOOOMMMMMMM*** another pulse of the Peredhil Verse explodes into the night sky An Evocation Conjuration mix - Blue of Lightning, with Red of Fire..... "STAND DOWN KEVMANN..." Silmarien, however knows that Kevmann will not hear this...she knows that her Voice is HATED by Kevmann...yet, she is Chaotic Good, and MUST TRY....even if she knows Kevmann is too Evil to understand |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-13-03, 10:53 PM | OoC: G'day Orcy!!!! Great to see you. Now, DM is gunna work with you to clarify your constructs. They are still too fuzzy to allow me to make rulings about your effects on enemies and (Almost) gods. Kev is BARELY human, and is MORE powerful than ORCY. IT MUST BE LIKE THIS. He is the Dark Lord, and we are all IN DANGER. Originally posted by Orcy The Green Wonder OOC: Orcy's magic is from his weapon, it has a massive amount of enchanments on it. He has access to abilitys that act as some spells but not a lot of them. OoC: please declare them to us all - then I will describe how to make them work in the OneLand with our game-environment. Remember, the OneLand is a Universe with order in Lore!! His Beware the Wonder ability (the big blast of energy) isn't an elemental type of energy but instead pure energy itself. OoC: DM says: ALL ELEMENTAL ENERGY IS PURE ENERGY. Thus it has no SR and there is no Reflex save. Now, just to note this, Orcy's Knight Von Drache class allows him to choose to, instead of dealing extra damage with a critical, break the bones of whoever he hits. Leaving them in pain and unable to act for 1-3 rounds. Anyway, Orcy doesn't have any actual spells, but he can hit something really really hard :D OoC: yes, you may by-pass SR, but NOT WILLY NILLY. We must give you some guidelines for HOW. I need to see your stats! Remember, 40th Level!!!!! .....I will work with you to ensure you can manifest Orcy's Powers in the One Land via the New Uber Magik Fusion constructs....Your powers are VAST in Uber-Magik Fusions. I need you to understand HOW. But, you may keep the Reflex save construct. This is very cool and fine.... Work with me now my friend....let's get this un-fuzzy.... My best to you.... Silly-marien |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-13-03, 11:16 PM | Silmarien turns to Demon Lightfoot She is incandescent with Blue Fires - she speaks to you in PluriPoency...Great Heart, Bearer of Both Light and Darkness...Hail, true, thine voice - a being to be trusted....YOU I see know yourself, and know whence a line must be drawn.....The ABOMINATION SPEAKS LIES!!! ****BOOOOOMMMMM*** and explosion of Light - Mauve - The Transformed Elf-Verse as Abjuration intermixed with Evocation - Lightfoot - it is TIME ***BBBOOOMMM*** We must begin to rally our Armies!! Lightfoot!!! Command the Elven Warriors with Deepwood - I am no war strategist - I am a verse master. I will enjoin with the Elf-Verse Masters in the Army's Van-Guard!!!! We will command that aspect of the assault...... DEMON LIGHTFOOT, let us BEGIN to bring order to these armies....lest the Dark Lord seduce us with false word....His armies Gather - he will erupt from the Gates and the Rent with GOD'S BANE She turns to Allies: WE ARE IN MORTAL DANGER ALL OF US!!! HE COMMANDS MAGIK FUSIONS OF ELF-VERSE WITH NECROMANCY...WE ARE IN MORTAL DANGER AS SOON AS HE STEPS OUT FROM HIS GATE.... *****BOOOOOMMMMM***** WE WASTE TIME ON SENSELESS PARLY To Deepwood "Deepwood" OoC: who is still away "Accept Demon as Leader of the Elven Van Guard of Fighters...... "ORCY!!!" Silmarien calls in PluriPotency "Rally all your Creatures - these Knights of Van Drach!! HURRY LEST OUR REPRIVE END...HURRY!!!! The Zollex - Command The Elves with Demon Lightfoot...HURRY - COMMAND THE ARMS OF THE PEREDHIL - BETWIXT MINE SPELLS!!! HURRY ****BBOOOOOOMMMM**** Thence, Silmarien Fuses Wish Transmutation with Sending Evocation - The Peredhil Verse changes to a melding of Blue with Orange....She sends a mighty pulse through the Weave to all those who can Hear - a Sending - OoC: RRR From yesterday ....HUMANS HUMANS ! HUMANS ENTRAPPED BY THE DARK LORD - YOU HAVE FREE WILL IF YOU CHOOSE IT....JOIN US - JOIN US - FIGHT WITH THE ELVES - FIGHT WITH THE PEREDHIL - WITH THE BEINGS OF THE GRAY - WITH ORCY'S KNIGHTS - AID US TO SPARE THE ONE LAND FROM RUIN...... Silmarien infuses the Great Sending with Tears of Hope....a gentle touch - felt by those of goodly and neutral orientation and seen for its naked truth....she radiates invitation and humility in this verse - no anger[B]the grasses grow up to the very gates of the Dark Lord - he is deceiver, and betrayer, you are in danger - come Humans the People of the OneLand BEG you!!! Hearts of Light and Hearts of Truth Humans High and Noble Vast and Potent The Peredhil See your Greatness The OneLand Needs your Courage Fail us Not in our Hour of Need The Dark Lord's Undead Hordes are Vast Indeed Heed not his Necromancy See not Undead Unlife See Us in Life and Light Elf Verse strikes Crescendo of Humility and Invitatation without Coercion..... OoC: Kev, you decide what anyone who can hear does with this..... |

| Kevmann07-14-03, 09:10 AM | "I ignored you, Zollex? I think not, I wanted peace just as much as you, but Sil over here was yelling at the top of her lungs that no peace would be offered, that blood must be spilled... It seems that there is no talking to you, you are too blind and have too much mis-placed hatred in your heart, but I do have one last request, before this battle is fought. No armies, leave our kin out of this, for I do love my humans and do not wish innocent elves that are free from your taint of hate to have to die for your will. My humans are free willed, and fight were they will, but I shall order them not to fight, if you do the same to your army. Let this just be a fight between us, shall we? Your hate is for me, not for my people, leave them out! What say you?" |

She stares at Kevmann - and smirks. She knows it's a deception - as are all faces that contort the beauty of our flesh. For we are not born with knowledge of Faces-That-Maim or Shame. This knowledge comes with teaching, jeering, insult and cruelty. Nonetheless, Silmarien is shaken to her core with Fear. She is not sure if her friends yet realise what The Dark Lord can do with the Magik Fusions. While the Allies feel omnipotent with new Potency - Silmarien has been in the Very Heart of a Dark Mythal - and seen Kevmann's Necromancy first hand. If not by the Will of Rh'iel, she would have been Annihilated. Silmarien also knows that the Magikal Lore has infused Spells with such potency, that the Flesh cannot endure them without Protections....she is terrified, and the smirk merely a ruse - to hide her fear.... "...ZOLLEX! WARD! HE WILL POSSESS YOU WITH NECROMANCY!... OoC: And a silent Sending - just to Zollex ONLY! Not yelling - whispering. ...Zollex! My friend! Allow not your wish to master the Dark Lord to best you - he appeals to your Vanity. Heed him not too closely! Care - smite him but do NOT fell him - and ward, he is Strong of Body beyond your Ken. He may hurl you into the Dark Citadel and Possess you - CARE my friend - I will ward as I can. But brave heart - I am not your Will - this is your Choice! The Zollex must do what The Zollex must do! Do not stray out of the Dead Zone in the Dark Weave! It will be your ending! Care! Stay within the Rent! |
| Orcy The Green Wonder07-14-03, 12:28 PM | The Green Wonder steps foreward with his army and orders them to spread out. Then, as they spread they turn toward the elves and take defensive stances. We will hear words of peace before any blows are struck sil. If I myself must break you and your people for this to happen, so be it. I do not like him either, but I would rather have peace with him and his people than fight a war in which many would die. Now stand down. OOC: Ok his sword has, flaming, shocking, frosting, acidic, sonic bursts (last two arent in the book but we used them), it is ghost touched, defending, speed, theres probly more I'm forgetting. Its +15 and all that cal. And his beware the wonder attack isnt any energy type. I have no clue what the heck yer talking about with combinging stuff in my weapon. |
| Kevmann07-14-03, 12:57 PM | OOC: I know this is fanatsy and everything Orcy, but your sword has a +31 bonus, and a +15 enchancement bonus. I mean, that is pretty out there man. Mabie we should just stick to the limits of the Epic level handbook, +10 max enchancment bonus and +20 Max bonus all together. |
| Kevmann07-14-03, 01:20 PM | Now, I don't realy know if stats for Godsbane has ever been created, but I am just going to guess here.... Remember, this is the super-powered Godsbane after it has absorbed the stuffs of two gods... Godsbane Artifact Shortsword +10 Unholy (+2), Fleshgrinding (+2), Vile (+1), Souldrinking (+4)Intellegent Artifact Shortsword. Intellegence Abilities: Ability Scores: Charisma 22, Intelligence 18, Wisdom 12 Alignment: NE Communication: Speach, telepathy Primary Abilities: 1. Wielder has free use of uncanny dodge (as a 5th level barbarian) 2. Wielder does not need to sleep 3. Wielder does not need to breathe Extraordinary Powers: 1. True Seeing at will 2. Heal X/day No Specific Purpose Ego: 39 Special Powers Upon striking an enemy, Godsbane instantaneously inflicts 1d4 permanent constitution damage upon the enemy. For every point the blade absorbs, it gets one blood point. Each blood point can be either used to cast heal upon the wielder, or to give the wielder one positive level for an hour. A positive level includes giving +1 to skill and ability checks, +1 to attacks, +1 to saving throws, and +1 to effective character level (when creatures level is used in a die roll or calculation, increase it by one for each positive level), and +1 hit die (d12 hit die + constitution modifier). These positive effects wear off after one hour. Also, the user is immune to all energy drain and ability drain due to ability decreasing effects (not including posion and other non-magical ability damage effects). Godsbane has absorbed the stuff of the gods that Cyric has destoried, more then two gods, mabie more that none know of. The sword not only gives its wielder the power it gains, but with each soul it destroies and absorbs within itself, it too gains more power. It was soon stolen from Cyric by Mask, who then posed as the sword to fool Cyric. But it was lost from Mask when a move by Shar to take part of Mask's power succeded in taking the blade. When Shar created the one who was to be her champion in the domination of the world with shadowmagic, she gave the blade to him to help him in his efforts. But the man betrayed her, and now uses the blade in his own ends to help the humans that he shares blood with... I think that is pretty good description, does everyone like it? |
| Demon Lightfoot07-14-03, 02:49 PM | Lightfoot speaks to the Elven troops, his voice taking a sense of urgency, yet without fear. ''Form your ranks, warriors; generations unborn shall sing songs of this day, whether we stand and win or fall and die! Infantry! Archers! Ready your Weapons and prepare for a gift of magick! Wizards! Where are the wizards? To me! We must take advantage of the Uber-Fusion Effect to empower the troops and weaken our foe's defenses!'' Sil: I'm still formulating a few ideas on that. [...] Damn, Orcy, now that's a sword ! [...] Hmm, I always thought that Cyric's sword was an overamped life stealer. I may have the 2e stats somewhere, not that it matters much for our purposes here. Not a bad Uber-Evil weapon, though, Kev. Lightfoot speaks to the gathered Elves, his voice starting low, yet audible to all: ''Kevmann's humans are not all touched by his madness, I'm sure, but we fight in defense of the One land and the Free Peoples! You cannot let your sympathy for some of them soften your resolve to fight. He has come, to take, to befoul and destroy and they follow him! We have seen it with our own eyes; you witness it here and everywhere that his talons have clawed. If we are forced to send them to join their ancestors, remember that we did not choose this fight, it was thrust upon us! Sorrow if you will for those who were led astray, but remember that the lives of your friends, families and fellow One Landers are in the hazard here, in this place!'' Grim-faced, Lightfoot indicates Ok' Pnatemul, the Black Citadel. ''This is his plan for the One Land, his template for the future. We cannot let this come to pass! By Sword and Bow, by Spear and Shield, by Art and Craft, through smoke, mage-fire and monsters fell, unto the very walls of Hell, we must here stand and stay, ere the Dark lord win this and every day!'' He turns to face the the troops squarely. ''WHO IS WITH ME?!?'' |
| Orcy The Green Wonder07-14-03, 03:01 PM | OOC: Orcy's sword is a rather powerful artifact gained by fighting in a tournament. The sword itself was the prize. The reason such a strong weapon was the prize? Kord was participating. Of course, he wasnt using his full power but was still quite a challenge. Orcy almost beat him but he unleashed the rest of his power. That kinda threw Orcy back a bit. Kord gave him the weapon anyway. Telling him he could give it a certain number of special properties. Thus, he has this massive sword. Now, if you all want me to limit it, I suppose I can. But that doesnt leave me with much, as Orcy uses no real magic whatsoever. Oh, and I'd like to note he wears a robe of eyes around himself more like a cape than a robe... its been through a lot, heh. I'll put up a list of his things if you want. |
| zollex507-14-03, 03:57 PM | OOC: OK. That's it. No more melee for me. I still haven't learned that wizards shouldn't charge with swords. Composite longbow and spells for me from now on....... |
| Kevmann07-14-03, 04:04 PM | OOC: I don't mean to nerf you or anything Orcy :) I was just saying that we should probably limit ourselves to the limits set by the epic level handbook, since there is has been absoulutly found no way to create a magic item beyond one of epic proportions, even major artifacts don't go that high. Now, of course, we are fourtyith level characters (hince the ability to have up to +20 weapons). But hey, it depends on Sil I guess, he is the uber-DM |
| Demon Lightfoot07-14-03, 04:26 PM | Jeeze, If I listed everything that Lightfoot has from 20 years or so of playing him, we'd all be reading a few more pages, at least!:D He's been very grabby and lucky with loot and manufactured goodies, plus has access to Psionic Wild Talents and to some bits of Star Trek: Enterprise-level technology.:D :cool: |
| The Gray07-14-03, 07:09 PM | OOC: Jesus. You guys have been busy while I was away. Sorry I missed so much . . . To Silmarien: You asked for my council. Here it is. Peoples of the One Land: The Balance is my only ally, my only Lord. As I watch, the Teacher's prophecy comes true again and again. Thus I offer my wisdom. As Silmarien said, the Necromancer grows powerful, but we cannot destroy him, for he is tied into the magic that brought us all here and with his Death we should all follow. Thus is the prophecy of the Last Minute. Kevmann may be defeated and subdued, and the Balance shall remain. However, I shall defend him as I have aided you if he falls below in strength and you continue to attack. The Beast follows me toughtlessly. I follow the Green thoughtlessly. Find strength, but use wisdom. That is my decree. At this, the Beast draws his sword and walks toward Kevmann and the Battle of Ok'Pnatemul . . . |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-14-03, 09:12 PM | OoC: OK - I'm at work - and can only post quickly..... But, I will attend to all matters when I get home. 1. Orcy - great to see you again. Bring it on, but Godsbane must be the mightiest weapon on earth. But, be uplifted, because, your new Magik Fusions (including sword abilities) MORPH each round. HAS EVERYONE ABSORBED THIS YET!!! Uber-Magik is OVER AND ABOVE your sword's basic functions - that is, standard effects plus synergy Effects as Uber-Magik - that MORPH each round as you Will. I still need to see Orcy's stats......Post Them. 2. To The Gray - ever thine wisdom must be our Guidance - allow my Vanity NOT to interfere with mine Wisdom, The Gray :bow: 3. Demon Lightfoot - I had this feeling you'd been around for a long time in D&D......just a hunch :bow: 4. TO EVERYONE - Kevmann is JUST THIS SIDE OF BEING A DEITY... Kev! Up the Mouse Juice on Godsbane - it is TOO WEAK! When that sword strikes undefended flesh - there are to be RUINOUS consequences! And Kev - REMEMBER - Uber-Magik and Sword's Necromanic functions interact with Non-Necromantic Ones....NAME the Sword's Schools of Magik that is is INFUSED with....... and EVERYONE - BE SCARED of The Dark Lord - you are STANDING IN FRONT OF SAURONIC PRESENCE...... Kev, make sure the character Radiates SO MUCH fear, that ONLY THE MOST STRONG WILLED can withstand your presence.... Ok, one quick Role-Play at my work desk.... ... Demon Lightfoot's commanding presence inspires awe in the Elven Legions....."DEMON! DEMON!!" they cry - "TO THE DEATH SHALT WE DEFEND THEE AND THE ONELAND!!!" Demon points Sword towards the black gates - as he stands commandingly in front of 2000 strong Elves - . Shields and Starlight radiate of their faces, and from their eyes..... Demon stands next to Deepwood - there is a ROAR of many thousands of Elvish Voices - Mithril Tipped spears radiate Elven Magiks now Increased in Power by the Meta-Rending of the Weave...... Silmarien stands at the Army's Van-Guard - next to her comrades - the three of them radiate potency - faces fey and grim - but unfaltering in their Courage..... Silmarien says : Does anyone seek to Strive in Solo Combat with the Dark Lord - to see if we can Stay the Onslaught yet a while more???? STAND FORTH ANY WITH SUFFICIENT COURAGE...... |
| Kevmann07-14-03, 10:04 PM | At first, almost a small human, with darkness covering his face, and black armor around him, he says calmly... "come!" And then, his eyes flash read, and the ground beneath him rends as he hugs his sides and doubles over. His mass growing, new muscles ripple out from his flesh, his body almost seeming like a mass of worms. His armor, usualy black, seems to come alive around him, the metal seems to now ebb and flow from his body (a mixture of abduration and transmutation) it seems to be ready to move and flow as if it was a mass of insects. From his hand, godsbane begins to glow a bright read, it grows in his hand to the size of a greatsword, and it begins to vibrate so quickly that it is barley noicable to the naked eye (also, mixture of necromany and transmutation ability, if you play Starwars you know that vibro-weapons, or weapons that vibrate incredably fast, do alot more damage). But that is not all, for as you look two horns grow from his head, and darkness covers the area in a black mist which blocks out the sun and brings dispare among those inside of it (mixture of enchantment and necromancy). Those that look, upon the Kevmann, the dark lord, see something that is so horrible that even those that are brave tremble at the sight. His form is hidden, all you can see is the dark outline of a body, and two red eyes that come out at you, all that look upon him feel the urge to bow down to their knees in subserviance of him, and his body even seems to have a field of this palable feeling about him, for even when you move to strike your hand viers away from him (A mixture of abdjuration and enchantment). But it is not over, for he lifts Godsbane above his head, and the sword itself shreaks in bloodlust, worse then any banshee, as it vears into your very bodys to the blood that lies in your viens (Mixture of necromancy and divination). Then he lowers the blade, and he moves forward, his bulky body moving so incredably fast and ajile that he not only blurs, but it is even hard to see his body, a keen awarness of his immediate surroundings seems to allow him to control such speed without zooming past you (mixture of transmutation and divination, sort of a super haste, which will allow me to fight all of you at once if need be). It is then that he speaks, and from his mouth not only spews words, but death itself, as it reaks of the carrion of a thousand rotting bodies, which corrodes at your throat and nose as you breath it in (mixture of necromany and evocation, sort of a bad version as a one round acidic cloud). The voice he speaks with is almost not human, almost sounding otherwordly as if the voices of a thousand people spoke in him... "Come, come if you have the nerve to fight me one on one. Or do you wish it to begin, do wish our armies to fight. Remember that the elves you send to their deaths today are on your hands, not mine, and when you fail you shall know the endlessness of your despare, for I am unbeatable!" OOC: Ok, a few things I would now like to add out of character. Now, first of all that I recognize that Sil is the uber-DM, but I will withhold the right of being a sectional DM depending on the situation. I don't forsee this happening, but I am just warning in advance. Second, replace the "special attacks" section in Godsbane with this... Upon striking an enemy, Godsbane instantaneously inflicts 2d4 negative levels upon the enemy as it drains its very life essence from its body. This is not negative energy, and can not be prevented in any way shape or form unless the creature attacked has no constitution modifier. These negative levels can not be healed in any magical way, and come back at the end of the day without a fortitude save at the rate of one per day. If a subject should die from such an attack, he is not brought back as undead, but is forever destroyed. Even powerful magics such as wish or miricle only have a 50% chance of succeding in bringing a person killed in such a way back. For every negative level the blade deals it gets one blood point. Each blood point can be either used to cast heal upon the wielder once, or to give the wielder one positive level for an hour. A positive level includes giving +1 to skill and ability checks, +1 to attacks, +1 to saving throws, and +1 to effective character level (when creatures level is used in a die roll or calculation, increase it by one for each positive level), and +1 hit die (d12 hit die + constitution modifier). These positive effects wear off after one hour. Also, the user is immune to all energy drain and ability drain due to ability decreasing effects (not including posion and other non-magical ability damage effects). That should be badass enough :) Oh yea, also replace Souldrinking (+4) with Marrowcrushing (+3) and reduce its ego by one point! |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-14-03, 10:20 PM | OoC Only - not lunch break - 'ats the way Sir Dude-us! Scare the sh_t out of the Armies of Light........ :bow: |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-14-03, 11:45 PM | Originally posted by Orcy The Green Wonder The Green Wonder steps foreward with his army and orders them to spread out. Then, as they spread they turn toward the elves and take defensive stances. We will hear words of peace before any blows are struck sil. If I myself must break you and your people for this to happen, so be it. I do not like him either, but I would rather have peace with him and his people than fight a war in which many would die. Now stand down. "A Hero.....A Hero.....is there One Brave Enough to do Singular Battle with the Dark Lord - a hero with Courage"......" The Dark Lord request it!!.....He wishes to Save Face, our Dark Lord....for he is nigh magikally powerless in the Rent....but ward his physical strength Then turns to ORCY "ORCY....I will NOT suffer the Dark Lord's words - UNLESS - He Firstly Submits to my Dweomer IN THE MAGIKAL RENT - Then To Kevmann "Orcy requests that The Armies of Light and Neutrality that Thou Shalt Submit to a Test of Fidelity Kevmann!!" ****BOOOOMMMMM***** Thence shalt we discover his Truth or Untruth - ORCY - The Dark Lords DOES NOT know Peace - His god is The Deceiver - ever Betrayer of the OneLand - and hence is it recorded in the History Tomes in the Early Years of the OneLand, now Ten Thousand Years Old.... ...HE LIES.... But for love of ORCY ALONE, I shall allow a Test of His Words ******BOOOMMMM****** another flash from the Peredhil as Silmarien strikes staff heel on ground....she Shifts The Verse to Divination Infused with Conjuration - Mauve & Blue Intermixing Dark Lord - DO YOU SUBMIT TO MY TEST OF FIDELITY!!??? OOC: To Orcy: NOTE: a. Flame can be Conjuration, or Evocation (have I missed one - check PHB) b. shocking - at least Evocation c. Frosting - at least Evocation d. Acid - I don't have PHB here (CONJURATION??) e. Sonic - I think conjuration f. 'ghost touch' i need to check Re: "+15" OK BUT ONLY IF YOU CHANNEL ONE Uber-Magik MORPHS into the Sword - at the expence of one Uber-Magik Function!!! Make Sense? Your sword is NORMALLY +5 only! So, general ruling guys is that ONE Uber-Magik Function triples a weapon's pluses to hit........ Re: "The wonder attack isnt any energy type" - My response to this is: Q - is it 'supernatural' or 'spell-like'? If yes to either - *it is subsumed by Uber-Magik Fusion Rulings. If not - specify! I have no clue what the heck yer talking about with combinging stuff in my weapon. OK - Here's an example, based a through f above.... Now, IN ADDITION to the swords 'ordinary magik functions' You, may - ONCE per Melee Round YOU MAY Fuse say Sonic (CONJURATION) with Fire as EVOCATION....so, what does this provide you with? OK OVER AND ABOVE SWORD'S NORMAL FUNCTIONS> Offensive Options: 1. you MAY channel the CONJURATION of Acid Resitance into Penetrance - to GET PAST Kev's magic resistance ..... and thus allowing a FIRE attack on the dark lord, that has Spell Penetrance (i.e. can get past his defences). 2. You may channel the EVOCATION of Fire into Spell Penetrance, while allowing the CONJURATION of Acid to Hurt the Dark Lord.... 3. You may SPEND one Uber-Magik function to ENHANCE the bonuses of sword to +15 from +5. Defensive Options: 1. You may channel the Evocation of Fire into defensive Shielding around you that gives you SPELL RESISTANCE, while retaining the CONJURATION function as offensive. 2. You may channel the CONJURATION of Acid into an acidic Shield that can hurt the Dark Lord, - PROVIDED, you spend the EVOCATION of fire on Spell Penetrance........ etc. - there are many many options. You may have one Uber-Magik function for every TWO Schools of Magik. So, the way I've got your sword above (Three Schools), you have TWO Uber-Magik Functions (UMFs) PER ROUND...OVER AND ABOVE swords ordinary features... AND The UMFs MORPH as you WILL them too.....does this make sense yet... |
| Kevmann07-15-03, 09:06 AM | OOC: First, what did yall think about the change in Godsbane, I want to be limited by the epic level handbook RRR: I forgot to say this in my first post, if you read through it I have spells and then their mixtures in parenthesis afterward. Would you mind going through and giving and side effects or anything else in that last post I did. Kevmann speaks, and from its mouth belows death as he speaks "What, what test of fielty do you speak of, why should I take such a test?" |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-15-03, 09:18 AM | OoC: Outside the Rent for Kevmann's Powers OoC: Noted - Kevv has 'sectional' DM rights - use your imaginations - what might this mean!! Remember - Pnatemul's inner wards are NOT mine to DM - and this is a Co-DM model - so - that means Kev may back-feed into rulings when I have made a *MISTAKE* when I make them!!! When we are on someone else's home thread - same applies for you.[/OoC] OoC: 1. One nerf - to Godsbane functon "once SMITTEN - this negative energy cannot be prevented in any way" Respons: - but some magik (e.g Transmutation/Abjuration or Conjuration/Abjuration Fusions) can be used to PREVENT a touch of Godsbane in the first place. 2. And - "sort of a super haste, which will allow me to fight all of you at once if need be" - response - the function isn't immune to CounterMagik - normal SR checks apply.[/OoC] The Elves scream in HORROR - and all about on the Battle Field clutch their ears - Silmarien is dumb-struck - the radiant Fellness of Undead Necromancy fused with the other Magiks is Power that she had never witnessed before...... But Rh'iel - or Corellan - or any Deity of the Plural Pantheon any Voice that You Trust - even if this is Faith in Cynicism or Faith In Science, or Faith in Unfaith - these are the eternal Radiant Voice Within All of Us - speaks - from Unspace....and you find meaning in them in the Space Between Words, not in the Words themselves... ...Beings of the OneLand - your Beauty is in what you are - in your essences. I Am With You Now and Forever - look at the things in front of you Right Now. What do you see? What words find their Way into Your Heart? What do you Trust? Remember that You ARE All Courage and Are All Life - and the Answer Here may be found in what you *do not* know, rather than in what *you do* know. Trust in This - Trust! Find Hope! Do Not Falter - the OneLand's Life is Yours to Protect. In this, weAreAllOne - Find Courage and Do Not Despair! Silmarien's mein is immediately Lifted, and her Eyes shine with the Life of Stars - Matter of the Heavens - the Stuff of the Universe. All the Same we are - even the Dark Lord. He merely forgets that Life is in his grasp - and has turned to Unlife..... ...Silmarien - well versed in Magikal Lore can discern effects of spells by scrutiny - and the Dark Lord's Lore is no exception (Spellcraft). She sees the Wards around the Dark Lord - and while horrified - she is not daunted. Her greatest enemy is her own Fear - and well this is known to all Necromancers - for Evil Necromancers assault the Self with Fears of unimaginable Horrors. Thus, Silmarien's Third Discovery - an Abjuration/Conjuration Fusion "Enchantments Broken - By Holy Communion Fear No More - The Dark Lord's Token!" **BBOOOMMM*** Mauve Radiance explodes around the Peredhil - it is infused aglow with Silvery Radiance from the Positive Material Plane. (OoC: Break Enchantment+Holy Aura Fusion. The Holy Aura Borrows the Magik Resistance=NO! From Break Enchantment) She sees the blur in the Dark Lord's motion - and gasps - "This must not be suffered" she baulks. Thence, her Fifth Discovery "Hasten Motion - Blurred Devotion Match the Dark Lord's Swirling Station" ***BBOOOMMMM*** Transmutation infused with Illusion Indigo and thence four more times Once for Zollex Once for Deepwood Once for Orcy Once for Demon Lightfoot The Five Defenders are gain a Haste-Magik-Fusion - akin but not identical to the Dark Lord's. They may now be (seemingly) In Many Places At Once. The Godsbane Death Blade! "Ai! Another Abomination" Staff Heel strikes onto the Earth and a flash of light Explodes ***Boom**** outwards in concentric circles The Blue and Sliver of Abjuration intermixed with the Transmutation Again. Another Discovery Holy Aura - Repels the Object Deflects the Godsbane - Before is Smites Us! **All** the Peredhil (including Zollex) are immolated in Protective Fires - Telekinesis is Melded into a Holy Aura - Godsbane cannot penetrate this Shielding. But, thence - the most important Fusion for the Allies - Silmarien must be able to Commune Telepathically with her comrades - so that Strategy may be permitted in this dire battle. Mental Communion - the Voice of Sending Be Blended Then Our Divination Fuse this With Sound of Evocation Be Born the Bond of Mental Lending The Peredhil Verse strikes crescendo - another explosion of light and sound - this time Green and Red - the Divination of Rary's Telepathic Bond Intermixed with the Evocation of Sending. A great Amplification of Both Effects occurs - Silmarien puts all the Allies' Leaders into Mental Communion. Then she declares to all the Battle Field "SO! THE DARK LORD WALKS FORTH - AND GONE ARE HIS SOOTHING WORDS! I WILL NOT PARLY WITH DARKNESS ***BBBOOOOMMMM*** DOES OUR BRAVE DARK LORD HAVE SUFFICIENT COURAGE TO FIGHT A HERO IN THE RENT OF THE DARK WEAVE - OR DOES HIS SOOTHING WORDS END AT THE RENT? WHICH SHALL IT BE!!! The Elf Verse Masters enjoin into the High Magik - the Elven Paladins, Druids, and Clerics prepare themselves. The Elven Armies are still - "ARE THE KNIGHTS OF VON DRACH READY?". And over all watches The Gray...... |

Would you mind going through and giving any side effects or anything else in that last post I did. OoC: Confused - what do you mean by 'side effects'? Please clarify and are you inside Pnatemul, or inside Rent, or walking outside rent? "What, what test of fielty do you speak of, why should I take such a test?" [/B] Orcy seeks to hear your parly - but I will not suffer your words unless you submit to my Test Of Fidelity - a Test of Truth - that unfailingly Detects Deception, Treachery, and Falsity. DO YOU SUBMIT TO THIS TEST OF FIDELITY Then she turns to Zollex, Orcy, The Gray, and Demon - WHAT IS YOUR WISH FRIENDS - DOES ANYONE WISH TO BATTLE THE DARK LORD - SOLO - IN THE RENT - WHERE THE FIGHT IS EVEN? ELSE PREPARE! THE BATTLE IS NIGH OoC: Kev, did you get message about being 'many characters' in one land? OoC: Zollex, Demon, Orcy, Deepwood, you are all Meta-Hasted - as fast as the Dark Lord. Zollex - you share in the Ward against the Sword from being enjoined into the Elf-Verse with the Peredhil. |
| Kevmann07-15-03, 10:13 AM | OOC: I would rather not play multipule characters, I see this as going aganst the whole point of foundation based roleplaying. Also, the whole super haste thing I did so that I could set a defense against each person (since I am noly one person) and do a counter attack against each person as well... Also, your magic agaist godsbane is cool, but it can't be full proff, mabie something like a +10 deflection bonus or something like that, otherwise I couldn't do anything to you. ok, on to roleplaying... "Fine, bring forth your champion, for I shall have no treachery upon him. But listen and listen well, any of you that should think you can come upon me, that I shall not hold back upon yee, and although my magic is not upon me now, my sword is strong, and I have the force of a hundred warriors." |

Also, the whole super haste thing I did so that I could set a defense against each person (since I am noly one person) and do a counter attack against each person as well... OoC: The way the spell reads - you could attack everyone in the Armies all at once. If you want it for Defensive purposes - OK - but we can't have you zooming around attacking 2000 elves every round. Also, we can't have you able to reach us if we are 500 elles away from you. Also, your magic agaist godsbane is cool, but it can't be full proff, mabie something like a +10 deflection bonus or something like that, otherwise I couldn't do anything to you. OoC: Silmarien can only give these defensive features to Verse Members (Zollex and myself). And, she also tires. Either it can be full proof when she has a big meta-concert, is fresh, and while the armies are hale. Or, it give +20 defence all day every day. We can explore limits as the battle progresses/as she tires. Also, we can't destory you, and are limited to defensive functions. And Godsbane has just gone thru the roof in nastiness. ok, on to roleplaying... "Fine, bring forth your champion, for I shall have no treachery upon him. But listen and listen well, any of you that should think you can come upon me, that I shall not hold back upon yee, and although my magic is not upon me now, my sword is strong, and I have the force of a hundred warriors."[/QUOTE] ..so you do not submit to the Test of Fidelity then?

Do you dare this feat - Demon - or you Deepwood...if none of you will Take this Dare - I will!

For ever is Human Pain a Pointer to Healing....there is a small hope of his Redemption... Silmarien releases an Azure pulse - that she directs just above the Usurper's head - missing his scalp by inches **BOOOM** The blue of electric fires intermixed with Holy Energy flashes off the Dark Lord's Features. She calls "WE SHALL TAKE THIS DARE - WE DECIDE WHO SHALL STEP FORTH!!!" |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-15-03, 12:19 PM | "There is no need, what treachery can I exact, with you watching? High praise. Didst thou taketh mine for a fool? A Truth-Speaker would take Insult at the Request - yet you speak of 'watches and wards'. Kevmann - what do you see as you are Here? What Aspects of Yourself are Reflected back at you - in This Dweomer - in This Universe. Do you only see the Disowned Spaces of the Unhealed? Where We cause You pain. Would you have us be Cause of Your Pain? And Kevmann - the Man - is still in You. The Dark Lord asks you to forget your Humanity. He asks you to forget your Magnificence of Humility - that which you were Born into the World with. Yet you speak of Humanity ever. But, where is your own Humanity. Where is the Man within the God - and why does the God wish to destory our Earth? |

DEEPWOOD - THE CHOSEN! 2000 Elves are shining with Joy and Hope - they raise their spears BRAVEHEART BRAVEHEART The Colloseum ERUPTS into UNRESTRAINED ROARING that lasts night 10 minutes.... A tear from Silmarien's eye. She smiles warmly at Deepwood, and intonates carefully - and slowly - PlutiPotency of the Elf-Verse nigh stilled. "Deepwood - ward my friend. Great care - he has the strength of many Men. I will guard thee with dweomer - READIED - should any trickery come of this - I will...." *she turns to the DarkLord and in pluripotency SHOUTS* "STRIKE YOU AND Defend DEEPWOOD." ***BBBBOOOMMMM*** "Kevmann!!! I appeal to your sense of Fair Battle. This is a Test of Subtelty and Strategy - not one of Power! You learn our style, and we learn yours - ere Battle Begins" "Deepwood - fair the Elven Heart....may the Heart of Elvendom - The Great Ost-In-Edhel forever shine with the Light of Gil Galad's Star...

| The Gray07-15-03, 09:58 PM | I cannot engage in the duel. Chose another. With that, the Gray becomes again silent. |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-15-03, 09:59 PM | ...Demon Lightfoot - the Wisdom of Ages is Pentrant Sight - that sees straight through all Ruse - thou hast seen much life and thou knowest the Silver-Tongued Falsities of Charm without Character. It radiates in all that you see, speak and do! A great Gift to our Armies - :bow: OoC: in Mental Mode Orcy, Deepwood, Zollex, Demon, Sil (new spell see above)/OoC ...Demon - it be essential to earn Orcy's Trust - ere his Fidelity to Our Armies falters.....Orcy, I understand your wish for Certainty in the Dark Lord's Treachery - for what are we if we smite the Truthful but Untruthful ourselves....but, ward - the dark lord has declined the Test Of Fidelity.....this speak to us of his Falsity - for only Untruthful beings fear Penetrance of Our Sight... OoC: I have about another 30 mins - then am off to an appointment - Demon - Ub.DM if you please :bow: |
| Orcy The Green Wonder07-15-03, 10:15 PM | The Green Wonder laughs aloud. An elf is going to do battle one on one with a human. An elf doing battle with anything one on one is funny enough, but with this man? Orcy laughs again. I look foreward to watching this, and to stepping in when its done to finish the job. Lets see what this elf can do. Orcs snicker throughout the ranks of Orcy's army and even some of the Knights Von Drache crack a smile. The eye looks down upon the field, and unseen to others another being watches from the shadows upon the mountain. Waiting. |

Someone help Deepwood out with how to use them - Deepwood - GO FOR IT. We're all your friends here - and enjoy Battle with The Dark Lord Kevmann 2. Remember Allies are all in Mental Communions 3. You guys decide how long to wait for Deepwood...but my intuition says he is just...about...to....arrive.... 4. use .....message.... for words you do not want the DarkLord to here...

Be Humbled and Radiate your Courage - We Will Not Fail! We Are One in This World. OoC: OK if Deepwood doesn't check-in then Orcy - GO FOR IT - ...thence shall it be Orcy who Write History in The Tomes of the Peredhil.... again, if i'm not Here someone else DM..... GOOD LUCK DEEPWOOD/ORCY!! |
| DeepwoodElvenArcher07-16-03, 11:55 AM | Deepwood steps forward, a tight grip on the magical golden long bow that he holds. I am ready. Come forth Kevmann, betrayer of the free peoples of the One Land, and let us see what you are made of! |
| zollex507-16-03, 01:35 PM | "Good luck," Zollex says. OOC: Let's get on with it. I'd like to see what a cleric can do against a ranger without spells. |
| Kevmann07-16-03, 03:20 PM | "Very well, let us make this interesting!" Then, Kevmann rasies his hand and a adamantium cage flows over a huge area, encompasing only Deepwood and Kevmann.

Glyphs apear at every corner, preventing transport in or out of the cage, as well as warding all exterior effects to effect those on the inside. "Here are the rules, Deepwood, and they shall be strickly adheard to... ONE, we both must be stripped of all non-permanent non-magical effects, such as spells but not magic items of effects. You may create temporary effects in the course of the battle, but you are not allowed to start with them. SECOND, you are not able to accept any magical help from those without the cage. You make speak with them and they with you, but no help. THIRD, the battle ends when eather of us yield, are unconcious, or dead. Not before, and at no other time. FOUR, the battle must have a point. We may each request a boon as a reward for winning, in the case that the other yields, is knocked unconcious, or killed. These are the rules, if you can think of any other I shall consider it, if not then do you accept? As for my boon, this is it... You, and all of your elven, half-elven, and orcish allies shall withdraw themselves and their armies, and offer an apology to my people for disturbing their lives. Your armies may return, if for some reason you wish to do this again, but untill then you must remain out of my realm AND do not spy with your devices into the private lives of me and my people. And, finally, you shall not attack my people as they expand beyond the confines of this valley. If they act hostiley to you or your people, you may respond in kind, but we must be allowed to grow. Do you accept? And if you do, you may also ask of me a boon. |
| Orcy The Green Wonder07-16-03, 04:37 PM | The Green Wonder smirks. So, you want us to allow you to go where you please and set up settlements? You wish to enter our teritories and build as you will without our interferance? Kevmann, I know too well what humans can do when allowed to go as they please. Building where they want and then, forming kingdoms. Kingdoms that then can ally themselves all over and rise up, from all directions. You may expand, but you will not pass my mountain. This is the only way I shall accept this. As an added point, you will keep your people away from and out of, this includes on and under, my mountains. We will trade if you need what we have within. Of course, this is only if you win. |

And Deepwood is NOT severed from outside help. 4. Lose the yucky stuff on the Adamntine walls. That gives you unfair benefit. If you throw Deepwood into those things - YOU are getting outside aid.

And FURTHER - if you - the Dark Lord - fully 10 elles in height, fully with the strength of 30 mortals, are not content to allow Deepwood's Aid in the Rent...then....you abase yourself to cowardice beyond the knowing of the lowest of Men who are Betrayers! ***KABOOMM*** If none of these terms are acceptable - THE FIGHT IS OFF - AND THE ASSAULT BEGINS! OoC: Deepwood was given DM's word of safe passage - in OoC mode. I will ensure that this is honoured. But, that aside - well done Kev - very scary. |
| Kevmann07-16-03, 08:32 PM | "What do you say? You have already dis-allowed me the use of shadowmagic, my current form's strength and speed is the only thing I have without my magic. And explain exactly what you mean by "succor" I will revert to my normal form, equil to the good Deepwood, ONLY if the battle is held outside this shadow-dead zone. And, he must be kept from outside help, as shall I. The wards I place work on both me and him, I can accept no help from the outside eather!" |

Fully 600 Leagues. Bounded by the Ered Formeno ranged to the North, and the Great Divide to the East, just behind Pnatemul. All is forested. The sea 600 Leagues to the West. I offer no terms for our victory - FOR I WILL NOT PARLY WITH DARKNESS - you CANNOT be trusted to hold to your word. As SOON as the balance of power shifts again in the OneLand - we know you will betray us. This fight is NOT about paryling for us! *D*O* *Y*O*U* *U*N*D*E*R*S*T*A*ND*!! KKKKAAAABOOOOOOMMMM If we win the, victory is in the knowing alone. For, you cannot be defeated by any power we hold. But we can maim you, or cause you pain.

Several explosions resound amongst the The Elven Armies as Verse Masters from the Meta-Concert emit pulses of Radiance into the sky! ...Demon - recall thine Lore of Men. That, no man who endures Pain shalt be Unmoved or Unaltered by this Pain. And that Pain points the way to Healing - if Men but do Heed this Pain. We aim to leave the Abomination with an Eternal Scar. Thence, shalt our Battle Propel itself into the Future - ever and Amen - for thence, shalt we Bring the Past into the Future. However, YOU HAVE FREE WILL my friend. Do as you Will and is Your Walk. Mayhap the Two of You can do battle together....Chose as you Will - I am but one Voice in the movements of our Armies. Your Courage uplifts my soul. Great is your fortitude and vast is your Wisdom - do as you Will. |
| Kevmann07-16-03, 11:01 PM | "Very well, enough talk then, we shall rest, and then we shall fight! I accept your terms, and I shall remove the wards from the arena! Tommorrow, we fight! OOC: Bed time for me, see you guys tommorrow! |
| Orcy The Green Wonder07-17-03, 12:03 AM | The Green Wonder smiles again. Good, this shall be entertaining. I havent seen a good duel in a long time. Good luck Deepwood, you may need it. Kevmann, no trickery, there are things you do not yet know. Orcy glances over his shoulder to his mountaintop castle, and the eye seems to glow in answer. A lone figure stands among the shadows, unseen by all. It's cold eyes watching and waiting. |
| zollex507-17-03, 12:04 AM | OOC: So we can help Deepwood. Good. I think we might have gotten the new board I requested. I think that's what the first thread in this forum means. |
| zollex507-17-03, 12:08 AM | OOC: No, I guess it's not. I guess that they're making a new forum for foundations. Better start packing.... |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-17-03, 12:53 AM | OoC: well done Kev - The Allies gave you a verbal pumelling today. And, that makes you a resilient person for being personable about it. You have earned my enduring respect. :bow: Zollex - a new forum hey! Sounds good - Orcy - we all look forward to your surprises - Deepwood - you have friends - Demon Lightfoot - I would never want to face you as enemy - but I have this feeling that would never be the case in real life. Thanks for your support. Now - when the Two Dual - remember everyone - to make it as exciting as today (and Kev, believe me, I had that flushed-face feeling when I signed on today - wonderful), the dual tomorrow MUST have some risk for both combatants - or else as Kev says, what's the point. It would be like playing D&D knowing that no matter what happened, your character could never die. For Kev, his risk has been named - Something Eternal. For Allies - Land - to the Humans - unless someone objects (in which case make another suggestion that you think is reasonable. Sil doesn't control your Wills. You may of course challenge her, insult her, tell her to f__k off, or otherwise). Alternatively, Deepwood may bear some legacy from the Battle - maybe like Frodo's 'memory' of Shelob, and the Ring Wraith's wounding of him. This may of course play out somehow in the OneLand's Future.......no Hero is a Great Hero unless she or he is Scarred from experience. ....for each of you, my friends carry unique Divine Scars from your experiences in Life already - in This World. No Psyche In All the Universe has not been smitten by Unhealth, Malice, Cruelty at some point in time. And each of your knows the Suffering of jibe, taunt, humiliation and ridicule - and have at some point been expelled from Friendships Circles, Betrayed, Abandoned and wounded thence. But Take Heart, for all such Scarring is ultimately what makes your Beauty more poignant.....The OneLand is the Forum for the Transformation of Your Suffering into Gifts of Healing - for yourself and others......Pass this Life onto others you touch in your Lives. Bring what we build Here to Life. And remember, the Dark Lord reminds us all the more poignantly about Life - by his Unlife as Contrast. Thence my Compassion for the Dark Lord's Plight........see you suddenllllyyyy |
| Tigernach07-17-03, 06:51 AM | Greetings!! I can simply not get over what has happened to our multiverse in the short time I have been away....what a dense piece of work, piece of mythology you guys have all come up with :bow: :bow: I am sincerely impressed :OMG! The problem being, I am not entirely sure how to get back in.....am a bit exhausted trying to read through all your posts :confused I must say though, all credit to you Kevmann....I had a much needed belly laugh when I came across the posts where you were posing a moi :rofl: .....Tigernoch....really......haha And Shrill-marien...you milady are always entertaining. You are all brilliant. :) A big hello to those of you I have not met as of yet I am going to have to have a think about what to do next.... Tigernach |
| Tigernach07-17-03, 07:03 AM | Ooc: Soooooo 40th level......you see this is where I have to declare my ignorance in that I am a bit overwhelmed by what that entails, so I will warn you in advance that I am more than likely stuff up some of my actions etc....but there appears to be a healthy dialogue in that respect amongst you all.:confused: Hey Sil, I understand that even though I have been away, I have been in meta-concert with yourself and the others...is that right? I love the sound of that....and I need to get info regarding being a versemaster. phew Can I be a real pain and ask for a brief run down from those of you in the know? Maybe this sort of recapping will help in terms of getting more people on board.....maybe I am just a bit too new to this, but it can be quite intimidating getting into this game if you aren't well versed in the language of D&D :confused: Declaring ignorance (and feeling much better for doing so)...Tigernach |

It will be a pleasure to assist you - and an honour. Hey Sil, I understand that even though I have been away, I have been in meta-concert with yourself and the others...is that right? I love the sound of that....and I need to get info regarding being a versemaster. phew Correct - but a Peredhil can enjoin the Song without being a Verse-Master. You *may* choose to become a Verse Master (see H/E foundation). This is your right and freedom. Zollex is Enjoined, but is not a Verse Master. Verse-Masters may *lead* a metaconcert. A Verse-master coordinates and synthesises Voices into PluriPotency and channels Collective Energy into Energy Manifested. Even if you are not a Verse Master - you can still *request* energy from the coordinator/conductor - by mental wish. I would love for you to choose whatever you wish your character to be. We will all happily assist you - that's what friends are for. Can I be a real pain and ask for a brief run down from those of you in the know? Maybe this sort of recapping will help in terms of getting more people on board.....maybe I am just a bit too new to this, but it can be quite intimidating getting into this game if you aren't well versed in the language of D&D :confused: Declaring ignorance (and feeling much better for doing so)...Tigernach You know me Tigernach - we are friends in Melbourne - the others should know this. You know that my response to your declaration is that sometimes one can "give up power to empower yourself". I respect the guts it takes to walk in on our work, and make your wish known. You tell us of your strength of character. I find that humbling, and a reminder of why you are one of my dearest friends here! ....The Elven Host sees Tigernach - and again a roaring erupts - they chant - brandishing Mitrhil Tipped Spears. The Elven Verse Masters Enjoin into a Song of Welcome: She Returns from a-Wandering Far Away but then a Boomerang Always Homewards Our Hearts Remebering Kinsman's Part - Peredhil's Comforting In PluriPotency - the Verse Masters throughout the Elven Armies emit coherent Light - some Blue, Silver, Gold - into the Heavens - the Night Sky is transformed by colour and Verse-Song. Silmarien looks at you, her eyes flare alight into Blue Dweomer - and look straight at you - this is The Piercing - the Celebration of Awareness and Knowing of Living. For, by staring, now, here at This, you see thence your own Image reflected back to you - in all its beauty and humanity. And across time and space - common knowing is shared. "Great thine heart kinsman! Know your place Here and Forever - you see your radiant humility reflected back at you - for you inspire us all to Greatness by Declaration of Fidelity. Where there is but one of you - We Shall Prevail" "Tigernach - Our Halls were assaulted. The Great Stone was struck three times by a Devil with vile sword - and many Elves slain in our home. A devil escaped with a Shard of the Stone. This Shard contained Elf-Verse of the Weave of Light. The Elven High Magik draws on the Weave of Light. The Weave is Everywhere and Nowhere - the source of all magic (Divine, Arcane, or otherwise) in the OneLand and all the Universe. This shard burned the Devil's hand, but despite terrible pain, he delivered this shard unto Kevmann - who was merely a Man until but a few short days ago. Whereupon Kevmann did touch this Shard - he perverted it and Infused it with Necromancy - for Kevmann is a Void-Master - and wielder of Shadow Magik. Shadow Magik draws on the Shadow Weave. The Shadow Weave is Mirror Image Opposite and Dark Twin to the Weave of Light and Elven High Magik. Thence Kevmann Became an Abomination. He created the Ring of the Elf-Bane. An Illness to all with Elven Blood. In this ring's lurid light, anyone with Elf Blood is sickened. The Ring and Kevmann are Abomination. For thence and with the Shard's Power, did The Dark Lord Return through the Doors of Night and by aid of this fusion of Necromancy with Elven High Magik. And so, in this Spell, Kevmann become nigh a God. His deity is being channeled by Kevmann. Kevmann the Man is trapped deep within - and the Dark Lord has enslaved Kevmann to his will. Infused into the Shadow Weave - The Dark Lord cannot be Unmade. No power we hold can Undo this Action of Fusion. Thence did The Dark Lord emerge from his Dark Citadel - as our Armies gathered at his doors. Thence I spied our plight. Kevmann made a Black Hole right here - a Dark Mythal. The World was about to be sucked into Chaos Forever. The wind blew, the world swirled....we were all being sucked into the Void. But, thence Rh'iel (my deity) did speak to me. And thence I recalled the Legends of the Dark Mythal. For, when I was at the Elven Citadel of Formeno Naure - I researched the Origins of the Shadow Weave. I discovered an ancient Tome, 10,000 years old - written just before the Dark Lord was expelled from the Universe and sent Through the Doors of Night into the Void. This Tome did reveal to me that High Elven Magik was responsible for the Dark Lord's Expulsion. And so, the cost of Elven Wisdom is the Dark Lord's Return. For it is by the perversion of High Elven Magik that the Dark Lord was able to return. But, in his greed, and when the Dark Lord fused Necromancy with High Elven Magik - he Broke both Magikal Lore and Magikal Law. This meta-rending of the the Weave altered the Laws that govern the Use of Magik in the Universe. Now, two schools of Magik may be fused into one spell. But, by his Greed, we all gained access to enhanced power. With this power, the Peredhil and Elven Verse Masters propelled themselves into the Dark Mythal - we plugned ourselves into the Black Hole - and by lending Rh'iel's will.... Will, Abjuration, Transformation, collided with Chaos - and We Peredhil created a Rent in the Shadow Weave - right outside Kevmann's Gates - a 300 elle diameter rent. Where The Dark Lord's Magik is dysfunctional, while our magik functions. But the new magik is perilous. The flesh cannot withstand it unprotected. And we cannot smite the Dark Lord down with it. If we do, we will destroy the Universe... Now, look around you Tigernach - you can see 2000 Elves, Paladins, Druids, Warriors, and even Orcs - your friends stand with you. Deepwood, Orcy, Demon Lightfoot, The Gray, The Zollex and all our armies. And Deepwood is about to do one-on-one battle with the Dark Lord in the Rent of the Shadow Weave.... |

| zollex507-17-03, 08:26 PM | OOC: Is this ever going to get done? Deepwood's still on, but Kevmann left. And he didn't say hi.... |
| Kevmann07-17-03, 09:00 PM | OOC: Herrmm, I have tried unsuccesfully to create a character sheet for my character (more accuratly, I got bored). So, we can begin this... "Very well, since you are the attacker Deepwood, you may have the first attack!" |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-17-03, 09:38 PM | ....The Zollex wishes for the Dual to begin!

The Bow Sings - it suddenly glows Gold - Holy Radiance is Infused with Flame first, then Ice, then Electrickery. The Bow Speaks to Deepwood - it says "Master - I will Guide this Magik Fusion - and will bring our Power down Upon the Dark Lord".... The Bow lends Dweomer to Deepwood as his shots fire - Deepwood is immolated in Golden Radiance - a Holy Glow from the Postive Material Plane. The Arrows of Frost, are Fused with Dweomer - Holy Electrickery, strikes the Dark Lord. The first Volley is Conjuration fused with Evocation. *Pffudddd-Boom, pffudddd-Boom* Arrows strike the Dark Lord's Flesh - his whole body crackles with Silvery golden blue fires - and he SCREAMS sending shock waves through the Great Weave - and the Earth Trembles - shaken to the Foundations..... "WARD DEEPWOOD!! DO NOT FELL HIM - THE UNIVERSE SHAKES...CARE!!!" OoC:L Dark Lord - 100 hp of damage + existential Pain |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-17-03, 10:04 PM | ....and the Legions CHEER Deepwood.... DEEPWOOD DEEPWOOD! HAIL DEEPWOOD. The Verse Masters of the Elven Armies explode into Radiance...sending pulses into the Night Sky |
| Kevmann07-17-03, 11:18 PM | OOC: wait a second, I thought I was allowed a defense! In any case, this will continue tommorrow (bed time for me here). |
| Gellion07-17-03, 11:19 PM | Gellion appears in a puff of green smoke. It appears i am too late. I could not find Kevmans dream self. Apparently the duel has already begun. *Sends a telepathic message to Silmarien*Remember the "gift" i gave you. Utilize it if you have to. OOC:Only Silmarien heard the message. So dont act like you did.:) |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-17-03, 11:36 PM | .....Great Gellion - Mysterious Being! The Dual is Engaged.....Never shall we forget your Gifts......The Dream is NOW - but Ever Lasting also - :bow: |

Cheers Sil PS - You may have some company Dark Lord - I've been speaking to Tigernach's true identity - and she's interested in being a baddy - OoC Truth Mode - no deception - we're watching out for you my friend - enjoy |
| Kevmann07-18-03, 09:38 AM | Defense: The arrows fly at Kevmann, but yet how could he fight Deepwood without a defense. Smileing cruely, he places the blade of the now greatsword Godsbane and the blade widens, widens to almost a foot wide, and using it, his eyes flash as he uses quick sight to sue the blade to deflect the arrows as the come at him... "your a fool Deepwood, now you shall see the true power of Godsbane! One lick of your blood, and you shall know what the pain of un-life is!" Attack: After his volley of arrows, the blade returns to normal greatsword size, and Kevmann will rush at Deepwood with predinatural speed, doing a huge side-to-side slash made to cut Deepwood in half! |

OoC: 1 foot is partial cover - i'm happy to give you 25% cover stacked with Kev's haste and assumed feat benefits so, two arrows find home Kev dude - if this is still unsatisfactory - please advise - am happy to work with you about it. The Dark Lord's blade moves in a rapid blur of movement...the Legions see that Kevmann is no novice, and are not immune to this expertise. Despite themeselves, the Allies marvel at Kevmann's skill....but, Deepwood is not novice either - and his Elven Eyes more sharp than those of any Elf before him. Not even Elmacar, his mighty forebear was as skilled with Bow. And this Living Bow knows Cunning, and can sense the Dark Lord's motion. Somehow, the Bow is learning - by watching the Dark Lord's moves. "This will be no easy battle Deepwood - but we will not falter". Two of Deepwood's arrows find home. OoC: 40 points of damage - and Deepwood is permitted defences also.... ..the tension in the Elvish Host is raised. Deepwood is up against a mighty adversary - and the man Kevmann - within the Dark Lord still loves humans, and fights for them with all his commitment...Silmarien's face shows no emotion, but her Heart turns to Deepwood's encouragement..... ...HOLD Deepwood - courage now Great Elf - Elmacar your forebear stands with you - he burns strongly in you NOW...HOLD HOLD... |

OoC: I'll allow it. In the spirit of fairness. ...The Dark Lord charges at Deepwood with unearthly speed. He strides fully 100 elles, with but 10 strides - almost a blur in his movement. Deepwood doesn't have time to martial his defences - he is still absorbing the Enemy's gait and manner in Melee. Deepwood shines on the Battlefield - his face radiates the silver of Stars - and his eyes mirror the miracle of Starlight back out to the world. He stands - a shining figure diminutive by contrast to the Dark Lord's formidable Stature. Deepwood dodges a cunningly dealth blow - voosh, the Dark Lord's blade skims past Deepwood. But, again the Elf dodges, and parries - and the Dark Lord is not novice Warrior. Kevmann has a lifetime of training and experience as a Human - and this skill is the Dark Lord's to manifest. The Dark Lord's blade comes down again, and again misses Deepwood, who dodges at the last moment. A third time, the Dark Lord strikes, and Deepwood slips onto one hand...thence, the Dark Lord's fourth blow in nigh 6 seconds - comes crashing down. Deepwood dodges, but does not fully escape the blow. Godsbane - strikes Deepwood's flesh - a non-fatal blow and to his side. Even without dweomer, Godsbane is a cruel blade.... OoC: 50 points of damage to Deepwood - cross it off. And, to make this real - I am going to roll dice here at home. If you don't post stats about blade, str bonuses, and damage, I'm going to make them up (fairly), then roll the dice, and let you know..... This is a REAL melee - with a REAL chance to each combatant. To move the odds away from my 50-50 default, you need to add colour and style to your role-plays. I will be weighting outcomes by rewarding the BEST roleplayer with bonuses.... |
| Kevmann07-18-03, 10:51 AM | OOC: Hey Sil, I will seriously try to create my character on a character sheet (this is a 40th level character, so it won't include everything). I have your e-mail, so I will send it to you when I finish. It won't be 3.5 (because I don't have the books) but I will try my best. Oh, one more thing, does he take negative levels? :smirk: |

I have your e-mail, so I will send it to you when I finish. It won't be 3.5 (because I don't have the books) but I will try my best.[/I] OoC: I will look very much forward to this. Your best is best indeed - you are a highly competent roleplayer and game player Kevmann - I wish we could have you here in Oz in one of our campaigns - BTW that applies to all of you - I'm growing quite fond of you all! Also, you are more than 40th level! Let's try at least 60th and see how that goes ouside the Rent, you are more than a match for any one of the Ally's heroes. I'm operating to the model provided by Tolkien at the end of the Second Age - when Isildur, Anarion, Elrond and Elendil together could best the Dark Lord, but not each on their own. Also, I've printed out the Pnatemul thread - and have everyone's stats posted so far - ready to use for combat purposes. And, the 50-50 game balance Rule only holds in the rent for one on one, when you do not use your other tools (Adamantine, etc). So - no negative levels inside the Rent do not apply - and if this causes too much Ally power, we will revise it. Much of what we try together will be massaged to ensure thrill (=risk of success AND failure for both sides. I'm on line (it's late nite - but it's Saturday tomorrow - woops, I mean today now (1:30 am) here. |
| Kevmann07-18-03, 11:46 AM | OOC: Are you sure I should make him 60th level? I calculated it, and a 40th level person should have around 180,000,000 GP, or 180 million gold pieces... A sixtith level person, according to the .76 rule, should have around 44,490,000,000GP, or around 44 billion, 490 million gold pieces, according to the .76 rule... So what is my gold-pieces in equipment? Do I just get whatever equipment I can carry (12 magic items)? I promise, if that is the case, I will not have "custom made" magic items (using DMG & Epic rules) and only have pre-made items, and I will also only get a few non-spot filling items as well (rods, etc.) and I also promise i will take no more artifacts other then Godsbane. So what is the ruling on this? |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-18-03, 12:05 PM | Originally posted by Kevmann OOC: Are you sure I should make him 60th level?[/i] yes. if it causes problems, we can fix this later with a role-played game balance tool. you are the Dark Lord - you kick as_s I calculated it, and a 40th level person should have around 180,000,000 GP, or 180 million gold pieces... A sixtith level person, according to the .76 rule, should have around 44,490,000,000GP, or around 44 billion, 490 million gold pieces, according to the .76 rule...[/i] you, my friend, as the dark lord, break all the rules of the core rules. you have access to the resources of a Dark Empire. if you overdo it, I will game-balance a role play. remember, the Allies' will enjoy working out how to develop (role play) tools for 'coming back'. makes it more fun. So what is my gold-pieces in equipment? Do I just get whatever equipment I can carry (12 magic items)?

So what is the ruling on this? go for it. yes, epic level constructs pose quite a problem - not allowed, except in SPECIAL circumstances. having said that, *we* players should think about *inventing* our own 'epic-ish' constructs (at special junctures) - and also move away from the publications at the epic level of thought. that's *our* domain - to invent, create and have fun with. enjoy - this is Your Universe |
| Kevmann07-18-03, 12:12 PM | OOC: Ok, so, I am 60th level... I will only use in-the-book magic items... Godsbane will be my only artifact... My character's stats will be created from the 32 point buy system... And for now, will be 3.0 rules... I just ask that everyone else also follows these rules, and asks Sil if they can have a custom-made magic item or that goes against these rules... Sound good? |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-18-03, 12:22 PM | Originally posted by Kevmann OOC: Ok, so, I am 60th level... I will only use in-the-book magic items... fair enough - but remember - after this battle - we can all go to our Halls and start *making* new tools/weapons/armour that draw on Magik Fusions. This Universe is for us to Creat In. I figure - that it makes fully sense - that the Battle and Fusions took us all by surprise - and we are actually playing this out on the battle field - later we will regroup, maybe relocate or whatever - and think of it just like in a world where a new discovery has been made......for the Heroes race against Time to devise new tools and to conduct new research into Saving the Land - they have a new Universal Order of The Weave to come to terms with - and so they provide themselves with the conditions to foster and nourish Insight - for no Power in the world they know can save them - something else is needed - they must open their hearts and souls to Discovery...and ever does the Dark Lord do the same - the Allies must work together to save themselves. Godsbane will be my only artifact... but not your only new construct/tool...... My character's stats will be created from the 32 point buy system... And for now, will be 3.0 rules... we await..... I just ask that everyone else also follows these rules, and asks Sil if they can have a custom-made magic item or that goes against these rules... Sound good? [/B] sounds great |
| Kevmann07-18-03, 02:46 PM | OOC: My character has been sent to Sil, and as a sneak preview to all of you out there... +70 will save, +57 to hit, My ninth level necromancy spells are set at DC 62 Oh yea, kickass... If any of you want it, ask Sil, I don't know if she wants you to see my character sheet or not. |
| DeepwoodElvenArcher07-18-03, 05:44 PM | Deepwood winces from the attack but does not falter. He tears his teo enchanted elven blades from the shethes on his sides. "Listen, spawn of the abyss! If you are to defeat me in this duel, than all my elves shall be damned and the free people of the One Land shall be cursed to damnation as well. You shall have no land to rule but that of your own vileness. The elven people would rather live a happy life with Corellon than in your hatred filled world. That is, of coruse, if you defeat me..." he says with a wicked smile. "I shall never give in to your hatred nor your malice. You are a traitor, Kevmann, and a corupter of elves' hearts. Let see know who is the rue master of the blade." With that, the unarmored wood elf spins into motion, slashing and chopping at the Dark Lord with uncanny speed and agility. His blades fibd the chinks in Kevmann's armor. Godsbane is too large and cumber some to parry the swishing blows of the humanbane shortswords. OOC:So are we now 60th level? |
| Kevmann07-18-03, 05:58 PM | OOC: No, I am the only one allowed to be 60th level, for the basic point that I am only one bad guy against like 10 good guys. In order to give me a chance I have to be considerably higher level. Defense: As Deepwood begins spinning in his flurry of attacks, Kevmann lifts his hand and from it materializes a large shield made of a dark metal. His hand retreats, and the shield floats there on its own. As Deepwood begins his attack, the shield floats this way and that, as if it was Kevmann himself that wielded it. "Trust me Deepwood, your destruction is inevitable. Here in the abomination mythal, my magic does not work, which gives you an advantage. But trust me, even without my magic, I can defeat one such as you! You haven't seen all my defenses, it is the way of darkness, to hide the supprise untill it is too late for you, and then spring them on. The shield is one of many that I have available to me. Oh and trust me, I have a plan for this mythal which shall cause all of you to once again run in fear... Kevmann's eyes flash in this last revelation, as he again comes at Deepwood and... Counterattack: Kevmann then stabs inward with his sword, not to hit Deepwood but rather to stop his rythem in the dance, the second blade comes around again, but it also aimed to force Deepwood to parry the blow, to ruin his melodic dance... And with his last two attacks, the first comes in, trying to use the momentum of Deepwood himself to come into the blade. And with the last blow, Kevmann steps backward, using the extended reach of the greatsword to his advantage in the attack on Deepwood. |
| DeepwoodElvenArcher07-18-03, 06:16 PM | OOC: Wait a minute...A 40th level character against a 60th level character would get splattered. Deepwood would be nothing but a green stain on the boot of a 60th level Kevmann. Maaaaan, is this going to hurt. (runs off to roll up a new character.) Deepwood laughs. "You think you know all the secrets of teh shadows? Ha! I was born in the shadows. I live in shadow. I am shadow." and with that, he promptly disappears. (Use of invisabilty from NOTCM) Kevmann, caught off guarde, suddenly feels the sharp, searing pain of an elven blade burst through the skin of his back. (Deepwood used a sneak attack 10d6) The elf whispers in his ear. "I believe that it is your death that is inevitable." |
| Kevmann07-18-03, 07:28 PM | OOC: Not realy, the counter factor is that pretty much all my levels are eather cleric types or shadow adept, and the mythal takes away my most powerful weapon, my magic... Oh, and I know we have to wait for Silmaren to see what stuff happens but just as a heads up. My sword gives me true seeing at will, my cloak of eyes makes it so I am never caught flat footed, and my heavy fortification makes it so I can not be sneak attacked... So realy, this is a even fight, but remember the evil precognition from my character, I am cooking up something pretty cool to end this shadow magic dead zone... But untill then, we need Sil to RRR our fight so far! |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-18-03, 09:24 PM | OoC: Well done - both - remember to be good to each other in OoC Mode. 1. Deepwood - this is a 50:50 battle in the Rent. Balancing factors a. no shadow magic for kev in rent b. you have size adjustments in your favour c. you have magic you may use - Kevmann does not d. in favour of dark lord, more benefits from higher level. to win this, you're going to have to zorch him good and hard with you're own kick-ass weapons and magic. 2. Your Role-Play of your characters (both "what you say to each other in character" and "what you do with your skills/feats/attacks/defences. Will shift the balance in your favour. Then, I roll dice - ruling for last series of blows in next post. DM says : good luck to both of you. Sil says: ...Deepwood! Deepwood! The Host cheer Deepwood raising swords - calling praise - and boo and hiss when the Dark Lord. The Armies lean in towards the Melee - all the attention focussed on the battle. |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-18-03, 10:08 PM | OoC: Deepwood - I need your character. E-mail: silmarienaldalome@yahoo.com (ONLY if you are comfortable doing so - else - post it on-line). The fight will speed up, once I've got a grip on all your stats - and dice to bite yuzz with. Kev 1. Very effectively role-played - you've invested heavily into one attack. when I hear from deepwood, I will post damage - taking into account the strategy. I will need Deepwood's AC. 2. You will get Role-Play Voice bonuses as well (for sounding scary). 1. - you get -18 to AC while in the Rent - Dark Mithril is imbued with Shadow Magic 2. -10 to Attack b/c Godsbane is off line (+1 for masterclass weapon) 3. the Shield doesn't give you as much protection as you would hope in the Rent from Deepwood's melee(+1). Deepwood 1. Also very effectively role-played - Heroic Voice - impressive - well done. You also get Voice Bonuses (VB) this round, over and above role-play bonuses (RPB). 2. I am happy to devise stats for The Human Bane sword - unless you prefer. 3. Kev's SR is nigh 0 in the rent. Magic will penetrate him from your weapons. 4. You are going to need in excess of 42 to hit him (in the rent). To everyone Kev's SR of 60 only applies to Elves Have I missed anything? |

| Silmarien Aldalome07-18-03, 11:06 PM | OoC: G'day Gellion - welcome - And to everyone - remember - TWO or MORE concurrent things can happen here. The Armies can be mobilised/spoken to by you all, or any of you can add another theme to the melee - while respecting the Dual is between Two. Be active if you wish. cheers sil |
| Kevmann07-18-03, 11:10 PM | OOC:It sounds good to me, but with all my magic items off line, don't you think the favor moves tword him (although I do have 800 and something hit points, my AC and attack was very dramaticaly reduced by that. It is just something to think about... Also, I want to continue with the fight even if Deepwood doesn't have his character sheet. Mine took a few hours, but it is only a rough draft and I kind of rushed it. By the way, what did you think about it? I am worried that no-one is else coming by lately, it seems it is just me, sil, deep, and gellion here today. |

Be active if you wish. cheers sil OoC: let's keep battle moving. While you make the char, I'll improvise here - meaning, I'll make some assumptions about your attacks - until I receive news of your character.... Ruling for last Melee Events: ...there is a blurring of Light and and a flash of radiance from Deepwood - Elmacar's Descendant's sword sings in battle - and in a blur of motion the Human Bane Speaks to Deepwood "....Let Me find him and thence shall I burn the Dark-Lord's defiled flesh with my Dweomer Deepwoood - ...I will guide the Fusions for you - my powers are greatly enhanced since The Rending...I will Ward your Body with Holy Dweomer...SMITE HIM! SMITE HIM...you cannot defeat Him, but Our Future depends on my Meeting with the Dark Lord's Blood..." The Human Bane is aglow with Incandescence - and suddenly, Deepwood is Immolated in Blue-Golden transluscent flame...the Battle Field is suddenly alight with Star Fire.... When the Dark Lord's sword strikes Deepwood's flesh, a surge of Holy Electricity is propelled deep into his being - penetrating to the Core of his fell Essence - this disrupts the DarkLord's concentration long enough for Deepwood to get ONE blow with the Human Bane. The Human Bane brings Life into Unlife (i.e. ="steels") life from the Dark Lord.....whose Pain is propelled through the aether of the Weave. Again, the Foundations of the Universe are rocked....as shock waves are propelled throughout The Weave. The Elven Legions Cheers in mighty Clamour Deepwood Deepwood Deepwood.... OoC: Deepwood - you take 80 points from one the Dark Lord's blow - but Human Bane can give you some healing - in timely junctures - and DarkLord has a kagillion more HP than you.... Dark Lord - you take 50 points of "fire-shield" like damage (holy electricity), and 30 points from one sword blow) Continue Duelling - I have to attend to something here - keep meleeing (multiply) and I will make multiple rulings over all your blows and rounds...when I return - no need to halt every round....GO FOR IT KEEP FIGHTING..... |
| Kevmann07-19-03, 12:28 AM | OOC: To make things fair, I think we should have generalized rules for ALL character creation (keep these in mind Deepwood). 1. Base stats created off the 32 point buy system. 2. Only one major or two minor artifacts (or intellegenct/super magic item)on one character. 3. No custom magic items, with the exception of magic items that only come custom such as weapons and armor. 4. Only a few epic level magic items, say something like a limit to around 4 epic level items on a single person (including artifacts). 5. 40th level limit6 6. If you want to have a custom made item, you must first get Sils permission. And you, Sil, should only allow custom items that effect the role-playing of the game (no amulets that give +5 luck bonus to saves, AC, and attacks, etc.) Remember, although you can not create custom items, in the aberation spell-melding thingy you can make your standard magic items do wierd things! How do these rules sound to yall? These are open to discussion, |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-19-03, 06:57 AM | OoC: Great stuff! I always like it and encourage players to take ownership of game-boundaries. This is how we develop mutual respect for shared game-limits. I think the core idea is that anything that is too Uber can prematurely end a game - but at the same time - at crucial junctures - it's more exciting to allow a new-construct to re-map the balance of power in all our OneLand. This is how your world will evolve and take you by surprise. So good alchemists - formulate away - and bring the ideas forward - I want you to hypothesise about ways of withstanding the OneLand's Dark Lord. Some of our experiments will not work or even backfire, and some will shift the Balance of Power again.... |
| Kevmann07-19-03, 03:25 PM | Attack: Kevmann takes steps back, and again he springs another suprise at Deepwood. As he again places his hand on Godsbane and it morphs yet another time. This time, the blade inlongates to almost fifteen feet, and then seems to go completely limp (it has now morphed into something akin to a dagger-whip). Kevmann makes sure he stays at least 15ft away from Deepwood as he he begins to lash mercilously at him, the blade seeming to be made of liquid metal as it lashes over Deepwoods flesh... "Despare, Deepwood, for I have more pain and more supprises then you could ever imagine. Of course, you could always yeild, but to do so would shame you infront of your people. Personaly I would like it better if you did not yield, for it gives me a reason to disconnected your haughty head from your shoulders!" |
| zollex507-19-03, 04:33 PM | OOC: I do have a custom item-a star-shaped gem on a neclace. It has very minor powers here. It does have powers against certian people-but none of you are any of them. All it does now is glow when danger is near. Right now I guess it would work as a torch. "Deepwood, this will protect your fortitude!" Zollex pulls two wands from his pockets in his cloak and fires them both at Deepwood at the same time. Deepwood glows for a moment, then the light dies off, but the effect remains. OOC: Sil knows what those are wands of. :D |
| DeepwoodElvenArcher07-19-03, 05:19 PM | OoC: While waiting for the RRR ruling, I'll post my defense. Defense: Deepwood ducks under the whiplashs first past, yet is struck by it the second time. The vocarious blade sinks into his pure elven sin, leaving a white mark on his back. He screams in agony and protest. He is forever scarred with the terrible wound from Godsbane. He raised his two swords in defense and parries the next seven attacks. He then takes a step back. Attack: He sheathes his two knives and activating the pwoer that is in his bow, begins to fly. He soars maybe twenty feet above the arena floor, firing numerous arrows at Kevmann. |
| Gellion07-19-03, 08:22 PM | Gellion summons ten Pseudonatural Couatl(Epic level Handbook version of the template), and orders them to grapple Kevmann. They latch on to Kevmann holding him back. I do not think that will hold him long Deepwood, but it is all i can do as of now. |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-19-03, 09:42 PM | ...Gellion - they do battle in solo combat - as nobles guided by the rules of dueling - we must not assist Deepwood - we have given our word... OoC: It is FANTASTIC to see you here, good Gellion. Stay and join us! Don't be put off by my ruling that follows for you here. We've devised some game boundaries - which disallow Epic Level constructs in the OneLand - BAR at crucial junctures - and if we use them, we must Hypothesise about them first, then invent ways of manifesting them and then test-drive them ourselves. Like the other stuff we've been discussing at Peredhil Halls (which rocks very) - and we can keep those.....I'll keep that symbol head thingy. For now, those Epic constructs have to vanish - for sake of game balance Ruling in Role Play for this ...the mysterious creatures appear, wyrds from the Beyond - with an alien resonance at the OneLand. They see the Dual and turn to Gellion - and Speak in a mysterious and unearthly resonance ..Gellion - we do your bidding on many things - but the Universe Speaks to Us - and Our Intervention is Disallowed by the Unknown.....The Fate of the Dark Lord is not ours to Command - this must be played out by the Mortals.....we will watch this Fight........they bow to Gellion and position themselves at the perimeter of the Rent.... OoC: Zollex - to get that item to Deepwood - you my friend are going to have to role-play a mad dash right into the heart of the Dual GO FOR IT!!! OoC: Deepwood's RRR (I think this is what you are referring to) ...Deepwood suddenly takes Invisible Form - blending into the Light of the Earth - Kevmann's primary attribute is not intelligence (OoC: PC Char)- and so he is taken by surprise - he also has difficulty seeing Deepwood - but one lash of the MetalMorphWhip strikes Deepwood - ....the Living Blade somehow senses Light Weave - even through the Rent in the Shadow Weave...but, thence corruscations of Holy Burning Fires travel up the Whip to immolate the Dark Lord - For the Second Time, Deepwood's Shielding ravages the Dark Lord's defiled flesh. But, suddenly there is a pulse of golden light and Deepwood is propelled high into the airs - The Elven Eyes of the armies can discern him - most especially the Verse Masters. Deepwood looses a volley of Arrows at the Dark Lord - who uses Godsbane for shielding....but the Bow says to Deepwood ...his Flesh I can Find....release Arrows NOW.... Deepwood experiences an intuitive guidance for timely shooting from the Golden Bow....Pfud *Boom* Pfud *Boom* Pfud *Boom* Pfud *Boom*....The Dark Lord's flesh is struck by Gold and Silver Fusion - crackling forces rend and twist Kevmann's body....and he falls to one knee - just for a moment....The Legions CHEER in UPROAR - TO HIS KNEES TO HIS KNEES TO HIS KNEES - DEEPWOOD DEEPWOOD DEEPWOOD.... OoC: Deepwood, you take 50 points from lash + 20 for Kevmann's role-play voice (RPV-effects) Kevmann - you take 30 (defensive shielding) + 60 from three arrow shots. And let me know if I've missed something. Deepwood I'm assuming you have 400 hp or so. |
| Kevmann07-19-03, 10:02 PM | Attack: Deepwood is flying upward, but this a whip is heard below him as Godsbane lashes up to wrap around his leg, in a mighty pull with the strenth of tens of men, Kevmann pulls downward, hoping to smash deepwood from the air into the ground... OOC: if he indeed hits the ground... Attack, part 2: Then, Kevmann will launch himself in the air, Godsbane again morphing to the shape of a huge greataxe, from the air, Kevmann will smash down, tring to land a huge blow, using his increased wieght, his own strength, the the momentum from my jump (look at the boots of swiftness) to smash the axe down, to try and cleave Deepwood where he lays... "Fool Deepwood, do you realy think you can win this battle? I, someone that you can not kill! I, who have the part of the power of TWO gods? When I win this battle, you shall see my power as I collapse this dead zone and bring my true power to bare!!!" |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-19-03, 10:21 PM | OoC: NICE ROLE PLAY DARK LORD ...the Allies hoot and jeer and taunt "Fall Fall Fall..." Silmarien's mein hardens - she hisses to herself as the Dark Lord's blows are launched at Deepwood again and again....her eyes flash with blue dweomer - she clenches her fists at her sides, and tightens her jaw. ....Deepwood - We are with you! You cannot Fail, for your Bravery transgresses all expectation - you have earned our Eternal Respect...You shall be revered and Celebrated for this Bravery for thousands of years - HOLD HOLD Deepwood - HOLD!... |
| Gellion07-19-03, 10:34 PM | Very well then. I shall watch this fight from the sidelines. |
| zollex507-19-03, 10:36 PM | OOC: I was casting a fused spell on Deepwood, not giving him anything. How far is the Rent from where we are? |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-19-03, 10:48 PM | OoC: Gellion - feel free to interact in all sorts of other ways - e.g. talk to the Armies, their Leaders (Orcy, Zollex, Sil, Deepwood, Demon Lightfoot). Or, help us prepare for the ensuing battle when the dual ends....or anything you can think. OoC: Zollex - I'll give the range on that thing Touch!!! So, we can send a Familiar in, or you can request a Spell from the Weave - (sixth level spell - Project Image) but I want you to Role-Play the Effects - describe the Voice of PluriPotency, and visual effects! GO FOR IT! Remember - we are vulnerable to Dark Lord's Necromancy through Project Image OUTSIDE the rent!!! But, it would make another Heroic Entry in the Annals of The Peredhil if you actually physically run..... ...Great Zollex - channel your Will into the MetaConcert's First ***NOW***... |
| Orcy The Green Wonder07-19-03, 10:50 PM | The Green Wonder watches the battle rage on. His army cheers for the battle itself and not for any side. They see the battle as honorable, so far, and cheer it on. Come now elf, you must have more than that. The Green Wonder motions to a robed man that is standing nearby and whispers something. The man nods and then a chai appears out of thin air. The Green Wonder sits down and relaxes. |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-19-03, 10:55 PM | ...ORCY! Great Green Wonder - thine Fearless Demeanour radiates from thee. And is inspiration for all the Allies. But Ward, my friend, we hold the Balance of Power only while the Beast is in the Rent - I am thirsty - may I have some of that chai.... |
| zollex507-20-03, 01:12 AM | OOC: Great. Touch. I have to ask: Can I have the Improved Familiar feat from the 3.5 preveiws? I've wanted a psuedodragon familiar for a long time. It shouldn't affect balance much. So, can I keep him? Pleeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaase? :bigeyes: |
| Kevmann07-20-03, 01:19 AM | OOC: you put that familiar in this cage, and it might be dead in a matter of seconds *Godsbane looks at familiar hungerly* that was OOC by the way, but the threat is real ;) |
| zollex507-20-03, 02:00 AM | OOC: I have a plan. I'm not the leader of the strategy foundation for nothing! Besides I have a wand of almost every 4th level or lower spell, so I can use lots of spells at will. I probably lost a level making all of those, but I'll be prepared. |
| Kevmann07-20-03, 02:21 AM | OOC: Hey, I am not a level 60 dark lord of the god of guile for nothing eather ;) |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-20-03, 09:18 AM | OoC: G'day The Zollex - excellent - advise the Allies in MentalMode...and YES! Pseudodragon is allowable from V3.5 - but you will have to guide us with rules for it b/c i don't have 3.5 constructs yet. And, Sil will work with you in MentalMode to enact this plan. Kev - you're not going to notice what I'm about to do. :cheesygrin: ...Zollex! Zollex! Allow me to make the Familiar invisible....now you Guide the Metaconcert with your Song-in-Will - and I will Channel your Will and Coordinate the Enaction - you may borrow my Will...Sing the Spell...NOW...!! |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-20-03, 09:43 AM | OoC: I HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS FOR THE PEREDHIL!! We have just gained the 14th House of the Half-Elven - Zollex! Update the Lists Custodian of the Tomes.... ...suddenly, a Form materialises out of the Airs - a Half-Elf - surveys the Battle Field with concern. He says "I was tending to lands far away in the OneLand - many leagues from here. The Weave spoke to me - I heard the Peredhil Sing - the Song bespake of Urgency and 't'was a Summoning - my Deity thence materialised before mine very eyes, in a Vision - and in awe was I. A Vision of This Place came to me - and I was compelled to Enjoin with the Song....he cocks his head, tuning into the Peredhil Verse - and begins Singing. He explodes into Radiance and is immediately Immolated in The Aura of the Elf-Verse....A Ripple is cast through the Weave of Light - and the Peredhil Song suddenly shifts in Quantum Magnitude of more than One Voice....The Half-Elven Synergy - the Whole is Greater than the Sum of the Parts - Silmarien's PluriPotent Voice is Enhanced. Her Face Shines in Joy and Welcoming. She gets onto One Knee before the newcomer - and strikes PluriPotent Crescendo... The Summoning Voice - Where Many are Called A Sound through the Weave - An Echo Through Life The Welcoming Here - The Arrival of Song The Strengthening Voice - Our Hope Greater than One. There is an eruption of Blue Radiance - a Sphere of Blue Fire explodes outwards - out to a league - and the Elven Armies Cheer and raise there shields....and none of the non-elves are untouched by Hope....The Allies Cheer. |
| zollex507-20-03, 11:05 PM | "Actually, I was planning on maling my familiar invisible, blured, mage-armored, and sheilded. I'll leave the invisibility up to you." ;) Zollex pulls many wands from his cloak. He passes each one over his psuedodragon familiar. The psuedodragon waddles over to Silmarien. She recites a mistical phrase and motions here hands. The familiar disappears. The psuedodragon waddles back to Zollex in an unseen way. Zollex then uses two wands. They glow brightly. The two energies leave the wands and colide as they head for the invisible creature. The energy vanishes. "Go. Deliver the spell," Zollex commands and he points to Deepwood. "Deepwood, do not resist. It will protect your fortitude from Godsbane." Deepwood feels a light touch on his shoulder. Deepwood glows for a second, then it fades. OOC: I still need a name for my familiar. I already know what Kevmann will suggest. BTW I have a link to the page with the Improved Familiar feat >>HERE<< (http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/rs/20030513a). I'll go update the member listing in the Half-elven Foundation. |

| DeepwoodElvenArcher07-21-03, 11:36 AM | OoC:Sorry Sil, but the character sheet will need one more day. I'm having probelms with a potential girlfriend and I needed to spend some time with her. I'll e-mail it to you by the ned of the day tomorrow. Okay, defense, defense... Defense: Deepwood's leg is wrapped in the demonic rope, yet he suddenly gets an idea. He throws himself into an aerial barrel roll, twisting the rope from Kevmann's hand. It twists and contorts on the ground for a moment, all the time hissing, then reverts back to its shortsword form. OOC: If he has like a locked gauntlet or something, then... Defense: Deepwood's leg is wrapped in the demonic rope, yet he suddenly gets an idea. He throws himslef into an aerial barrl roll, twisting and writhing to get free. He manages to swirm out of the rope. OoC: Either way, the attack is still the same... Attack: Deepwood begins zooming around the cage, never staying in one place very long. He will fly to one spot and fire and arrow then retreat to a new spot in hopes of confusing the Dark Lord. He remains compleatly silent. |
| Kevmann07-21-03, 11:44 AM | OOC: I do not indeed have a locked gauntlet, but there is mathimatics involved here. I make a strength check and Deepwood makes a dexderity or strength check (whichever is higher). I am allowed an additional +4 bonus because I am a size larger then him, AND if you look at my magic items Sil, I have bracers of relentless might. These bracers make me count as two sizes larger then I acctualy am for combat related checks, such as trip attacks, which gives me an acctual total +12 to my trip attempt on top of my strength. Also, I am a chosen of Gargauth, which increases my size and strength (I still have not created what this is, so I leave this up to you Sil) |
| DeepwoodElvenArcher07-21-03, 11:49 AM | Kevmann, I'm not tripping you, I'm disarming you. |
| Kevmann07-21-03, 11:58 AM | OOC: Ahh, but I am tripping you, and to disarm me you must first pass my trip attack, THEN you can try and activate a disarm check. Also, it is even easyer for my character to beat your disarm attemt, since your knige (or your hands) count as a light weapon which gives you a -4 penalty to the check. And my bracers of relentless might still give me a +12 bonus to my check vs your disarm check (there is a reason the bracers are the most expensive magic item in the epic level handbook). Still, you have an interesting defense, we will have to wait and see what Sil says. Then I will put up my defense against your next attack depending on her response. |
| DeepwoodElvenArcher07-21-03, 12:11 PM | OOC: I was never the stragiset. We'll just have to wait for Sil. I have a terribly bad feeling about this result of this match...Oh well, I guess I'll just have stick out my chest and take it like a ma...err...elf. |
| Demon Lightfoot07-21-03, 12:16 PM | Well, I prefer the cold, m'self; xcan't stand the heat. *sigh* Right now I have a lovely hole the size of my bed in the bedroom floor. Apparently the joists were rotted through, and the floor had taken an abrupt and unnerving sag in the northeast corner. Essentially, at any time, we could have plunged backwards *and* headfirst directly into the laundry-room. There are a couple of guys busily finishing the job of destruction; they should be starting the task of rebuilding, shortly. My cats are *completely* terrified and in hiding...which is good. I don't blme them in the least; I *hate* having strangers in the apartment. I hope that we will have a place to put our bed tonight, or I'm gonna be an unhappy camper. It's bad enough that the joint is more of a wreck than usual from having to move junk out of the bedroom to provide work-space, I don't wanna have to push the mess around in order to lay out the bloody bed in the dining-area. Lightfoot watches the battle playing out before him, face set in stony indifference. His mind is elsewhere, however, as he contemplates the Effect upon his magics that this range of probabilities has had. The faint shadow of what might be a smile pulls at the corners of his mouth, then vanishes. |
| Kevmann07-21-03, 12:18 PM | OOC: To tell all truth, I think that (and I read alot of good stories and novel) this stage in the story is the second step in creating an antagonist. Step one, introduction to an antagonist effect has already been done, since I have already done an offisive action upon you. THe second step (the current step) is called the creation of sutable threat. An antagonist without power is not an antagonist at all, the enemy must be shown to have great enough power to win the war or else there is no threat to the protagonist of the story. In all accounts, I will probably win this battle in the cage, and be successful in fighting your allies back, but this is a needed thing, since then the elves can (possibly) come back and win in the end. Of course, I always find the best books are the books were the enemy wins;) or the enemy was acctualy found not to be an enemy at all, but the only thing preventing total anialation. But we will just have to see how that works out in the end (hint hint). |
| The Gray07-21-03, 03:53 PM | The Man in Rags watches from the Tree, as does the Beast from below. Both are quite interested in the outcome of the Duel. |

I'm having probelms with a potential girlfriend and I needed to spend some time with her. I'll e-mail it to you by the ned of the day tomorrow. Okay, defense, defense...[/i] OoC: No worry dude - it's a balancing act - some time just for yourself, some for the woman, your friends, family. Remember to assert yourself if the demands are unreasonable - and many of us in the world have partners that love geek stuff - and play in campaigns - that's the best solution for a verteren geek - it solves multiple competing needs at once.

| Kevmann07-21-03, 08:44 PM | Are you going to rule if he falls or not? If I get a hit in or not? |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-21-03, 08:45 PM | Originally posted by Kevmann OOC: I do not indeed have a locked gauntlet, but there is mathematics involved here.

Also, I am a chosen of Gargauth, which increases my size and strength (I still have not created what this is, so I leave this up to you Sil) OoC: I'm going to assume Deepwood the following: 1. A very high dex (base 20-max for his race at 1st level) that he has stacked with both level and item advancement 2. Dex=+5 for five of his 10 earnings 3. +5 for an experience with a Manual of Dexterity; 4. +5 for various other magic items. Total of ~ 30 = +10 5. -16 to Deepwood (Size + weapon differences) 6. Deepwood is invisible (you have a 50-50 chance of completely missing the wrong 5 foot square - unless you can see invisible - Blind Sight & Invisibility I'm still thinking about - if you have it that is). 7. Dark lord is being zorched by Holy Electricity EVERY ROUND he holds onto Deepwood with this MorphSwordWhip - 2 for every 4 points of damage - IT BURNS LIKE HELL (i.e. Heaven for Kev).. So, approximately +5 or so to Deepwood. Total Nett = -1 to Deewood PLUS a 50-50 chance to miss him completely to his Trip Check - 8. I'll assume Deepwood has a Skill that also gives him Dodge or some equivalent set of (e.g Improved Evasion Feat) And, I won't roll dice, until I see Deepwood's char, but I have enough to assume he won't trip easily in the current circumstance. ......The Dark Lord's MorphWhip is writhing furiousely, but Deepwood's Elven Grace allows him to stay composed ... OoC: But, to disarm - not easy - Dark Lord is very strong, AoO on Deepwood allowed, successful attack on target needed (weapon is big Ally Bonus), then opposed str check. I set probability to about 15% chance of success in current circumstances....rolling Dice.....Deepwood CHOOSE HIGH OR LOW NUMBER for success....I have already rolled...... PS - Kev - if I've missed anything - speak |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-21-03, 08:47 PM | OoC: AoO on Deepwood - 50 points of damage Defensive Shielding Damage to Dark Lord - 30 points. HIGH OR LOW - If Deepwood doesn't choose, Kev, you choose.... HIGH OR LOW FOR SUCCESS |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-21-03, 08:50 PM | To Demon Lightfoot - Now that's one trippin' story - ....hold Demon - thine furniture - hold - summon Repair Rent in Home - Hurry - lest plaster befall upon the people, and blind them... :rofl: |
| Kevmann07-21-03, 09:01 PM | OOC: Sil, Godsbane gives true-seeing at will, but you already said that that was inert... BUT, look at my robe of eyes, it gives me all around vision and I can see all invisibile and etheral creatures withing 120ft, which Deepwood was in, so I CAN see him. |

Whether that is Divine/Arcane/High Elven Magic/Shadow/Otherwise. Clarify if you Faerunian Mythology differently, and quote a page number and reference.... Cheers |
| Kevmann07-21-03, 09:48 PM | OOC: The standard weave is not of light, it is neutral. With the standard weave, you can cast both spells of light and darkness, both good and evil. Why would you call the normal weave magic of light? Because it has just as much darkess. |
| Orcy The Green Wonder07-21-03, 10:11 PM | OOC: The Normal weave is both. The magic mystra grants all mages is neutral in itself. Its the person that decides what to do with it. The shadow weave itself is neutral, though it is used and controled mostly by evil. There is no light weave, there isnt really a dark weave either, its a shadow weave. Magic isnt evil or good itself, its the caster thats good or evil. |

Thank you Orcy, that was eloquent and completely true. |

There is no light weave, there isnt really a dark weave either, its a shadow weave. Magic isnt evil or good itself, its the caster thats good or evil. OoC: Weave and Shadow Weave are themselves neutral but LOCKED to Polar Opposites - by way of warring Twin Sisters (Mystra has a daughter or twin) who are Deities....... The meany sister bashed up the good sister - and there was a time when the Weave went off line. Then the good sister came back and restored the Weave. Now - yes, neutrals can draw on either. I have no problem with this. But: because two deities are involved in the Weave and Shadow Weave - there are some role-play issues (HINT) when 'good' characters draw on the 'wrong' Weave (Shadow Weave) - and when 'bad' characters draw on the 'wrong' Weave (Weave) So, "Weave" has analogy of "Light" and "Shadow Weave" "Dark" - but ONLY because two Warring Deities are also involved..... remember - your characters are being watched by the Twin Sisters (or mother-daugher) who HATE each other... Please continue to challenge this very important ruling - I am listening to your concerns.....,.. |
| Gellion07-21-03, 10:33 PM | Sil just wants to think the Shadowweave is evil, and that her weave is "pure". Just messing with ya Sil.:P |

| Kevmann07-21-03, 10:38 PM | OOC: Now, I don't want this board to be broken into a discussion. But if they were polar opposites, then a person accessing the standard weave would not be able to cast darkness spells as the shadow weave users can't use light spells. THe weave is exaclty that, a weave of magic energy, shadow magic is the space in betweeen the weave's strands. They are one in the same, how do you get they are polar opposites? Also, Shar (the creater of the shadow weave) does have a twin sister named Selune, and they are polar opposites. But Selune has no relationship with Mystra or the weave. Now, lets get on to the duel!!! Attack: OoA: This one is easy, I let the elf spin, then at the right time jump to the side of the cage with the axe, I put all my energy into a single blow, swinging the axe counter to whatever direction Deepwood is spinning, letting not only the momentom of the axe, but Deepwood's own speed to make a mighty attack! |
| DeepwoodElvenArcher07-21-03, 10:45 PM | OOC: Ow. It's an attack of Oppurnity, so I don't get a defense, right? |

Dark Lord - 60 points Deepwood - Kev, state the damage the Axe does - i don't see it on your character sheet.

| zollex507-21-03, 11:59 PM | OOC: I think that Kevmann is kind of a sad villan. He is only of equal power to any of us. In my opinion he should get some more power. That way there would be a great danger to us and we could have some more role-playing fun. Otherwise, why don't we just run in there and take him out? Kevmann should be able to take all of us on and be equal. Just my opinion, of course. |

| Kevmann07-22-03, 12:14 AM | Deepwood - Kev, state the damage the Axe does - i don't see it on your character sheet. I am using an inherent ability from contact with Gargauth to morph godsbane into whatever weapon I wish. At first it was a shortsword, then it morphed to a greatsword, then it morphed to a wip (to trip Deepwood), then it morphed to an axe. It is basicaly a greataxe with Godsbane's stats. OoC: Important: There is suggestion in MoF that a spell-caster who access Shadow - has consequences for their trajectory/deific relations.[/b] I don't have MoF to quote page number. (I need to confirm) I remember seeing somthing like this, but I will have to look at it tommorow. If you are indeed correct, then I will just be wearing items made from shadow-weave (which I guess are null in the mythal) which means my character will soon be taking different action ;) OOC: I think that Kevmann is kind of a sad villan.

| Silmarien Aldalome07-22-03, 01:15 AM | OoC: Hi everyone - good stuff yesterday. When we get tangled again about Game Constructs - post the concern 1. Here For Weave/Shadow Weave (http://boards1.wizards.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&daysprune=&forumid=66) related issues. 2. Here for purely Faerunian Deific (http://boards1.wizards.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=69) related issues. Then we can banter it out on those threads - and then bring outcome back to Pnatemul or the OneLand. That way, we keep the Role-Play here, nice and role-playish. In terms of yesterday's Shadow Weave versus Weave discussion: Important: There is suggestion in MoF that a spell-caster who accesses the Shadow Weave - that this has consequences for their trajectory/deific relations. I don't have MoF to quote page number. (I need to confirm). That is, the spell caster gets enmeshed with the Expectations of Evil deities. Important: Weave and Shadow Weave are not the same. Think in terms of Dark Matter in our Universe, versus 'normal space'. They are co-existant but non-same forces. Now keep duelling - I'm saying that other Deities are invested in the Outcomes at the OneLand - if you dispute this, I want an argument to say why this should not be the case. Important: When DM uses term "Light Weave" I am using the term "Light" to refer to the Deity in the Background, not the Alignment of the Weave - as was pointed out, the Weave and Shadow Weave have no Alignment. And when I refer to "Shadow Weave" ditto for the Deity who is invested into this source of magic. |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-22-03, 06:01 AM | OoC: OK - quotes from Magic of Faerun - Lore about the Weave and Shadow Weave - to allay the concerns raised yesterday. I was happy to do this extra work for you all - as I suspected, a good aligned Deity is enmeshed in Weave, and Evil Deity with the Shadow Weave ("a dark distorted copy of the true Weave" MoF, pg. 7) Having said that, I researched this well - before Silmarien enacted the Destruction the Black Hole (the Dark Mythal). Any other doubters of my research - please post them at the Faerunian boards - where we can sort our your concern. 1. "...Selun tore the divine essence of magic from her body and hurled it at her sister, tearing through Shar's form and pulling with it like energy from the dark twin..." (MoF, pg 4). 2. "This energy formed Mystryl, the diety of Magic. Composed of light and dark magic but favouring her first mother..." (MoF, pg 4). "first" here refers to Selun not Shar!! 3. Mystryl sacrificed herself to save the Weave. Her death caused magic to cease across the Universe. (MoF, pg 5) 4. Her death caused a new Deity to be born - Mystra. 5. Mystra the First was SLAIN at Waterdeep in the Year of Shadows (1358DR). (MoF pg. 5) 6. A mortal named Midnight assumed the"mantle of Divinity" and took on board the "portfolio of Mystra" (MoF, pg. 5). 7. She named herself - and became Mystra (The Second)! 8. "As Mystra, Midnight's philosophy focuses more on the good use and purposes of magic, rather than Mystra's (the First's) position of keeping the balance of all magical forces. (MoF, pg 5) 9. NOTE!!!! Shar, the dark-tressed deity of Darkness and secrets, has nursed a grudge against her sister Selune and their daughter Mystra since the dawn of creation. (MoF, p6-7) 10. "Because she knows that striking directly against Mystra at this time is foolish and dangerous, Shar chose an indirect method to combat her traitorous daughter....This creation is the Shadow Weave, a dark distorted copy of the true Weave that enchances the magic of shadows, enchantment, nceromancy, and illusion. With the Shadow Weave, Shar hopes to draw evil-inclined spellcasters to her flock, especially since those are inclined to avoid paying homage to the good-aligned Mystra anyway.... |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-22-03, 06:18 AM | OoC: Ruling on Alignments and Use of the Weave and Shadow Weave Assumption behind Ruling - all High Level characters are so rare that Deities notice their existence - high level characters pose a threat to Deities because of the enourmous power that high level characters wield. Decision that follows on from this assumption: 1. At 40th level - a good character that draws on the Shadow Weave will attract Shar's AND Mystra's attention. 2. At 40th+ level an evil character (especially Necromancers) who draw on the Weave ('Of Light') will attact Mystra's AND Shar's attention. 3. A low level character will get away with crossing over forces - for a little while. 4. High Level Neutral characters must balance access to each Weave - or incur the Deities' Attentions. |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-22-03, 07:07 AM | OoC: 1. A really big *HELLO* to Demon Lightfoot - great to see you. 2. A really warm thank you to The Zollex - for being great spirited enough to empathise with the Dark Lord's real person - Kev - even though he's on Allies team. 3. A big hello to The Gray! Welcome Back! 4. And to Gellion - *The Cheeky One* 5.Thanx Orcy for your assistance re, the Weave, I appreciated it. 6. And thanx all of yous! I appreciate your enthusiasm - and to Kev too - keep me on my toes. 7. I've just been back thru the last 5 pages and calculated damage. 8. Let's keep it moving - limit OoC posts. Current Tally Deepwood=230 HP of damage DarkLord=250 HP of damage Dark Lord - Robe of Eyes is offline & I gave your last attack a 50-50 chance of the right 5 foot sqaure - you hit Deepwood with your last Axe blow. Deepwood, the Dark Lord cannot see you, and you are not bound to Godsbane. Deepwood - you are doing FANTASATIC - ...the Allies cheer Deepwood - they boo at the Dark Lord - and hiss with intaken air when Deepwood is nearly tripped by the MorphBlade, but holds his balance. Deepwood is blindingly quick and deft in his movements, and is almost a blur to the Dark Lord's eyes......as the Elf dodges, the Dark Lord feels a 'swoosh' of air, and attacks the Elf....Silmarien's mein is focussed and her jaw is clenched tightly closed. Her eyes steely as she surveys the battle field....Deepwood - spend your strength and try another Disarm - Get that Blade to the Allies if you can....you fight Valiantly Elf...the Allies cheer in support....the Dark Lord remains unfaltering in his assaults - Suddenly, you hear Elvish: Wilin Aicanár! Wilin Aicanár! i Umbar Nossëi ná nnalyë Enyalië vanwa! Enyalië vanwa! Enyalië vanwa ná sina enyalien - Nosta - Sí - úyelyë eressë man Cenuvalyë, nan oialë yonta vanya ëa issë - Ai Enyalië vanwa. Edain vanwa man órë - ar ve í cuivëa oi vanya ëa Keep it moving fellas..... cheers sil |
| Kevmann07-22-03, 08:52 AM | The dark lord looks down, and realizes that none of his magic items are working. He looks around, gaining the knowledge that without eather his magic items nor his magic he will not be able to win this battle, he says... "Gar nok' Forlam neit tu lam! Beagorimanis verniamos palio" OOC: This is a human regional tongue. Immediatly the human army moves backward, and forms into columns and lines, loading the siege machines, and preparing formations. "It is time to end this battle, my people, I shall deliver you from our aggressors. It is time to end this duel, it is time to make the odds a little more in my favor." At this, Kevmann walks to the side of the cage, sets his hand on it, and it parts before him, out he strides, in long steps, tword the edge of the dark mythal. |
| DeepwoodElvenArcher07-22-03, 09:06 AM | Where in the Nine Hells are you going? We made a deal, Kevmann! To break it would be to surrender yourself to the armies of elves and orcs before you! OOC: not to mention break your alighment ;) Deepwood's voice echoes from no where. He draw an arrow up on his bow with swift elven grace. Move one more step, human, and I drop you were you stand. OoC: Deepwood is readying an action to fire of a round of arrows at Kevmann if he keeps walking away. |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-22-03, 09:09 AM | Silmarien is gripped by white fear - she sees what has just transpired - and feels a sinking horror to the base of her spine.... .....WE MUST TRY TO PREVENT HIM FROM LEAVING THE RENT - BRING THE ARMIES UP TO THE THRESHOLD - H*U*R*R*A*Y! Horns sound in the Elven Armies! There is an uplifiting of Spears and the Host Cheers! The Predhil focus the Telekinesis/Holy Fusion - The First Great Battle is NIGH! She shouts in PluriPotency - light explodes from the Elven Armies, in explosion of sound - and in myriad colours - The Faces of the Elves Shine.... |
| Kevmann07-22-03, 09:27 AM | Kevmann chuckles as he says... "Tell me exactly how I am breaking my rules? I did not say you could leave the cage, nor did I yield. So trust me Deepwood, our duel is very much still on, I am just re-locating it to a more sutable position." OOC: LE is great and manipulating the rules in their favor without breaking the rules. And if you read the four rules, he is acctualy not breaking any of them :) |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-22-03, 09:39 AM | Courage is the twin of Fear - and without one there cannot be the other. Despite - or rather because of her terro - Silmarien's mein hardens - and she strides up to the edge of the Rent. A diminutive figure by contrast to The Usurper. She stares him straight in the eyes - yes - she is looking straight at you. Her eyes flare into Blue Dweomer - she voices carefully - in PluriPotency - nigh 5 feet from the Dark Lord. " - you are a disgusting blight on the face of the Earth - an Abomination. The Earth Suffers in Unbearable Pain - the Weave has been Rent. More than just Rh'iel and your abominable God are watching us - and I have no doubt incurred Shar's Eternal Fury for Discovering how to Rend Dark Weave. But, Mystra Watches Over Me. Take one more step - and we shall begin the First Battle of the Second Age - and bloody it shall be beyond all knowing - She strikes staff heel on the ground *BOOM* - what shall you choose Dark Lord - War or Duel?" |
| Kevmann07-22-03, 09:50 AM | "Oh Sil, so foolish are you, so far from the human that is in your blood, that you would attack us and kill us descriminating with your elven blood. It is sad to see you have fallen so far, but you can not stand against me, so close to the edge I feel my power returning already. A slight shimmer can even be seen in my ring that you have given me! Sil, you deny me what is mine by my right, and you will not stand in my way." OOC: I think we should wait for some other people to get on before continuing. |

| DeepwoodElvenArcher07-22-03, 10:26 AM | OOC: guy's it's inevitable. It's time to take it to the dice. I bet we could go open a thread on the Real Adventures Board and just roll it all out. it would be much easier than the system we have now. What do you guys think? |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-22-03, 10:39 AM | OoC: It's nearly 1:00 am here - i have very little time left before i have to sleep. So - if you want to continue when I'm not here, someone else can DM - until I return - Kev - you can do it - but if Demon Lightfoot returns - he can keep an eye on you. Deepwood - tell us a bit about these boards. A '6' or lower is a Fail on the Save. |
| DeepwoodElvenArcher07-22-03, 11:02 AM | The Real D&D Adventures Board is a board where a DM can set up a campain online. The DM of course sets all the rules, such as point buy systems and whatnot, and the camapin is played out via posts. An online dice roller is used. You roll your dice on this page, and then you link it to your pots so the DM knows you are not cheating. It's a great way to play online. Currently I'm in three campains and would be more than happy to start up another. What do you think, Kev and Orcy and Zollex and anyone else still around. |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-22-03, 11:10 AM | [i]Originally posted by DeepwoodElvenArcher An online dice roller is used. Thanx Deepwood - seems like only thing missing here is a dice-roller.

| DeepwoodElvenArcher07-22-03, 11:18 AM | I vote dice. It's the only fair way to settle this |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-22-03, 11:22 AM | Make that two votes - but - can work without them if others don't like it. BTW the on-line roller stores the result by user, with a short description - immediately accessible to anyone....it's a table that grows. and is very simple+quick |

The Dark Lord is not a weak-willed creature - He resists the Telekinetic Surge - with the blink of his Mind....Silmarien Firms the Telekinetic-Holy Aura Fusion - but turns the Verse Inwardly - and reaches out In Verse to the Elven Verse-Masters - her Will needs more Voice - now as Personal Shielding - She stands right before the Dark Lord...Unfaltering - and Focuses the Necromantic Resistances, and other Dweomers Readied for the Assault. Her voice is Enjoined by the Elves....She also borrows Zollex's Discovery - and protects her Constitution with Fusion...."VILE ABOMINATION" She yells! SR=No; DC=10+5+10 (base) + 14 (For 14 Peredhil) + 5 Elves Lend Voice + 20 Synergy Points + 25 (for Externally Focussed SR)= 88 I'll give you one swipe at Sil as she re-focusses the Fusion Kev - IF YOU DARE! |

| The Gray07-22-03, 02:43 PM | The Middleman's eyebrows meet, and he frowns. The Beast steps up next to Silmarien, assuming a defensive stance. OOC: After Kev's next attack (the one Sil just gave him), she'll get an AC bonus as the Beast is defending her. Just how much is up to the DM. |
| zollex507-22-03, 07:10 PM | OOC: I vote dice. I guess that means we all need character sheets. I'll use Kevmann's computations of 180 million gold peices for a 40th level character. I'll also roll up stats for Aicanár (thanks for the name suggestions Sil). He'll be inside of our mental ring because of the telepathy. One major artifact or two minor ones, huh? That's going to be a hard choice. I think I'll take Sil's Arcane Avatar. Off to go roll up the character.... P.S. I have a way with d4's, so if I have high HP for a wizard don't be surprised. |
| zollex507-22-03, 07:40 PM | OOC: Errrrrrmmmmmmmmmm, Sil I just looked up half-elf in elven. It's Elandili; Peredhil means halfling. I just thought I'd let you know. I thought I was the only one who did stuff like this. Well, I'll get back to work. |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-22-03, 08:00 PM | OoC: Sil's Back. Kev - check your e-mail I've sent you the Synergy Process data. ....Silmarien sees The Gray standing next to her - and she Bows Low and says "Again, thine support an immeasurable Boon my friend. However, I fear the worst - we may not be able to Hold forever - but we shall try" Silmarien switches the Verse to a Fusion of Break Enchantment+Telekinesis - in Defensive Mode.....new numbers apply... |
| zollex507-22-03, 08:00 PM | OOC: I have a problem. I want to take 20 levels in wizard and another 20 levels in some PrCs each with +1 caster level. There lies my dilemma. I'll be the equivalent of a 40th level wizard and I don't own the epic level handbook! I don't know if there are more higher-level spells in that book. So, I need an uber-DM ruling for my spellcasting abilities. Maybe lots and lots of spell lots for 0-9 level spells? |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-22-03, 08:10 PM | OoC: Great The Zollex - good morrow Kinsman! - only up to 9th level spells. - when part of MetaConcert - there is this Within-Day "Partially Rechargable Pool of Spell Energy" (See PrC at H/E foundation) available - it's not spell slots. - When casting autonomousely (non-High Elf Magic)- at 40th level - 6 spells in every level max (+int modifier - does anyone have Epic Level handbook to correct me?). |
| Kevmann07-22-03, 08:15 PM | OOC: Sil, you said I could have one attack before you cast your spell so... Sil just cast telekinesis, and I resisted... Attack: I rush at Sil, the look of evil and hatred in my eyes. The axe looks ominous in my hands. I rush full on, all my speed coming into my dash. I lift the axe high, and as I reach Sil it comes down.... ...But it is not an axe at all, for it has morphed into a pole! And to the suprise of everyone, the pole digs into the ground and Kevmann pushes up with all his strength into the air, using the pole as an assist. Going full over Sil and everyone else, as he lands again, right at the edge of the mythal... "Never do what your enemy expects, and you will never be disapointed." Kevmann smirks as he begins to stride out of the mithal... |
| zollex507-22-03, 08:20 PM | OOC: So I'll just give myself 6 spells of every level. I suppose I'd know every wizard spell (I'll subtract 50,000 GPs to pay for scrolls). Oh well, I should have plenty of extra abilities from the PrC's. |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-22-03, 08:23 PM | OoC THAT'S THE SPIRIT DARK LORD - DON'T BE DISCOURAGED - ....The Dark Lord is OUT of the Rent - and the Armies SCREAM in horror "THE ABOMINATION THE ABOMINATION" - The Peredhil Verse maintains the Abjuration Fusions - ...PEREDHIL & VERSE ELVES - DISPERSE!!! STAY ENJOINED, BUT HIDE AND DISPERSE - USE DEFENSIVE ABJURATION-EVOCATION FUSTIONS TO AID THE ARM - CHARGE THE UNDEAD - WE AIM TO GET KEVMANN BACK IN THE RENT AND DESTROY THE UNDEADS - WE CANNOT HOPE FOR ANY MORE...... Silmarien Fuses Project Image with Fireball - and suddenly - a Fiery Projected Image appears before the Dark Lord - She is roaring with Fireball Fire - and greatly enhanced by the Verse....."BACK ABOMINATION - GET BACK!!!!" - She commands |
| Orcy The Green Wonder07-22-03, 09:07 PM | The Green Wonder stands up from where he is sitting and watches Kevmann. His face is twisted in disgust with Kevmann as he calls upon his army to stand ready. I knew you had no honor in you Kevmann. A real man would have fought the duel as he had agreed to. Without having to twist the rules so you can say you didn't break them. Well, now you have to deal with all of us. The Green Wonder looks over his shoulder to the eye and nods. A small figure appears out of the shadows and floats up to the top of the wall. It begins to move its arms and the eye begins to glow and radiate power. Spell energies begin to flow into the eye as the figure chants. *Maybe now I should tell you what the eyes main function is. It can amplify the power of any spell cast into it. Doubling the effect of the spell for the first 20 levels of the caster. At level 30 its 3 times the effect, and at level 40 its 4 times. But the caster isnt quite 40th level yet. So, the spell only tripples a spells effect. Meaning if a fireball were cast into it at that level, the effect would be 30d6 damage rather than the normal 10. The effect weakens the eye each time however. It has 10 uses 5 at x3 and 5 at x2 at this level. 2 uses were drained with the mass turn done against the undead. (the only other effect it can channel) and now a third is going to be used. However it takes an additional turn to tap into the eyes power.* |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-22-03, 09:20 PM | Silmarien casts a quickened Fly - and leaps into the air - while at the same time, she is projected in front of Kevmann - she channels Peredhil Synergy into Outward Focus - Penetrance - She Strikes PluriPotent Crescendo "BURN DARK LORD" She yells! BURN ABOMINATION Evoke Illusion - The Roaring Fires Be Channelled Now - My Firy Dweomer The Roaring Blue Dweomer explodes outwards from Silmarien's Projected Aura.... OoC: Kev - a RRR might be forthcoming - but remember - I've cast a quickened Fly from my Arcane Spell lists (Non-High Elven Magik). Penetrance = 25+10 (Base)+ 14 (Peredhil) + 15 (Synergy)=64 Penetrance Points versus your SR=50 for HEM. BUT - I had to spend Fusion Energy to get through your defences which limits the fireball-like effect- so 10d6 damage applies ONLY. Plus you get a Dex Save to Half ROLL DARK LORD (you save automatically) Damage: Fireball-Shield (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Kevmann#50577) |
| Kevmann07-22-03, 10:09 PM | "Attack me not, or you break the rules of the duel! I did everything within the rules. Attack and you prove you are dishonorable to all who watch! In any case, it is time to end this. I shall end the mithal and the fusion in one fatal blow!" The dark lord then raises his hands... "First, I use the power of abduration. To shield the world from rending at the magic I am going to use." Then a visible force extends over him, a orb of energy is created in the air. "Second, the power of divination, to see through process with utter clarity!" Then from his eyes, two continual blue beams emerge, streaking into the orb. "Third, the power of illusion to block you eyes from the creation, so that you do not know its secrets! From his hands, energy arcs upward, striking the orb and its contents, obscuring the process taking place within from all eyes and all magic! " Fourth, the power of necromancy, to empower the shadow magic of the dead zone, to make it strong enough to manipulate." And from his hands, coldness exudes as black energy arcs into the orb, making the insides dark. "Fifth, the powe rof transmutation, to fuse the shadow weave again with the magic weave, to restore the shadow to is further glory." From Kevmann's hands, arcs of energy join with the orb and its contents, making them erratic and random. "Sixth, the power of enchantment, to fuse the magics together, and insure their permanency in the world. And then, a purple glow comes out, and infuses the magic bomb, ending the erraticness and calming it. "Seven, evocation to create the darkness, the stuff of shadow." Then, the bomb is shrouded in darkness. "Eight, conjuration to conjure the power of fire into the orb. Creating light to mix with the darkness, the catalist with wich the magic bomb shall explode! Then, a spot of bright fire floats upward, entering the orb. "Now, I have made the ULTIMATE magic infusion! This will fix the weave, ending all of the infusions you rely on. And simotaniously ending the shadow dead zone, returning it back to its final glory! And then you and I, Deepwood, shall finish our duel, and you shall feel what true pain and defeat is!!!" And with that, the dark lord lowers his hands, and the magic thing explodes, magic recoils throughout the lands, recoiling through the world, a massive wave going over everyone and everything. One of the most massive surges of magic the world has seen in its ages! |
| zollex507-22-03, 10:32 PM | "No! Kevmann, where did we state that we could not pitch in? WHERE? You attempt to fool us with a quick word. Deepwood can have outside help! You aggreed!" With that Zollex takes up a defensive stance and awaits a resonse. |

| zollex507-22-03, 11:27 PM | OOC: Sil, what class are you? I have a plan. ;) |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-23-03, 12:13 AM | OoC: PLAY IS FROZEN UNTIL I RESPOND. |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-23-03, 12:44 AM | OoC: STOP CHALLENGING EACH OTHER TEAM. YOUR DM WILL advise about who can do what and get involved with what. THAT'S WHAT A DM IS FOR - TO ASSIST IN DECISION-MAKING WHEN IT GETS FUZZY. Having said that - CONGRATULATIONS Kev - Well Done - Nice and Scary. Just how we like it. Zollex - Fear Not - Enjoy the Terror!!! It's supposed to be like this! Remember - the world is IN GREAT DANGER - Gileledhwen, Silstarinnen and Telecontar ARE IN CONJUNCTION AND WILL BE FOR SOME DAYS. ...the Scriptures say that this Conjunction is infrequent - but a sign of enourmous change in the World - Ever has it been 'just so' in the OneLand. The Second Age is upon us. Shar, Mystra, our Dark-Lord, Corelland, Rh'iel, Ehlonna are all invested in this Outcome - as are others in Our Plural Pantheon! |
| DeepwoodElvenArcher07-23-03, 12:59 AM | Deepwood stares at the giant bomb of terrible evil and black power. Suddenly, he smirks. He stands there causally, not making any move to get out of the way, or anything. OoC: Deepwood is readying an action. He plans to use ethereal jaunt that is granted from NOTCM when Kevmann releases his giant orb of nastiness. |

| Demon Lightfoot07-23-03, 06:09 AM | Oy! Things are getting uber-hot here! Sorry I've been lagging behind, y'all Some of what I'm gonna post here is gonna prolly be uber-redundant.; mucho appy-polly-loggies all 'round in advance! If it still matters, I vote "dice" as well. :D I'd almost suggest that we all pull back, finish our characters up, and brainstorm how we wanna do things, maybe by creating a ''One Land OOC'' thread so's we don't clog this 'un up. I know Sil said no challenging each other and stuff, but the following is what Lightfoot will do, regardless of whether he fails or succeeds. Lightfoot starts forward abruptly, as if awakening from a dream; he suspects that black magic had held him unaware. :D He sees Kevmann's ''bomb'', and, realizing what it is and what's about to happen, hurls himself at it, attempting to expend all of his magics at once in a hopefully-not-entirely-vain attempt to contain it. Power contained in Invisible Hands of Fate Let there be an End. He pours all of his power and channels all of his tightly-contained rage and pain into his magic, not knowing if he'll survive this mad attempt. Burn, bright spirit-flame Ignite a heart forged in Time To Purge this Darkness. He fuses Anti-Magic Field with Bigby's Grasping Hand which creates a huge three-fingered hand that attempts to grab and smother the "bomb" with its magic-suppressing grip. |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-23-03, 03:05 PM | OoC: 1 Action for every two Schools of Magik/1 Fusion. There are FOUR (8/2=4)actions involved in this Fusion - not a quick activity to mend a Rent. 1. Zollex - you may proceed with your manoever. 2. Demon Lightfoot - your action is readied, and is activated as you wish it. 3. Deepwood - Ethereal Jaunt away. Originally posted by Kevmann "First, I use the power of abduration. To shield the world from rending at the magic I am going to use." ...and so the Weave and Shadow Weave are spared from ruin... Then a visible force extends over him, a orb of energy is created in the air. "Second, the power of divination, to see through process with utter clarity!" Then from his eyes, two continual blue beams emerge, streaking into the orb. "Third, the power of illusion to block you eyes from the creation, so that you do not know its secrets![/quote] ...There be no Arcane or Divine Secret that can be witheld from the scrutinising eye... The Sight of Truth - is Mystra's Gift Behold it Now - Eternal Might... From his hands, energy arcs upward, striking the orb and its contents, obscuring the process taking place within from all eyes and all magic! "Fourth, the power of necromancy, to empower the shadow magic of the dead zone, to make it strong enough to manipulate."

And with that, the dark lord lowers his hands, and the magic thing explodes, magic recoils throughout the lands, recoiling through the world, a massive wave going over everyone and everything. One of the most massive surges of magic the world has seen in its ages! When Silmarien sees Demon Lightfoot's Dweomer - she envelops him in Abjuration/Conjuration Fusion as his Fusion approaches the Dark Lord's manifestation - and grants him Demon SR=50 She also recognises that Kevmann cannot repair the Rent from WITHIN the hole - but must be OUTSIDE it. For Dead Magik Zones are Void within. She decides to opt for a simple solution. [Mental/Mode]....Elven Verse Masters - Hither NOW - protect me while I halt Magik! [/MentalMode] The Elves see their Peril, and many Lend their Voices to Silmarien. The cadences of the Elf Verse shift to a Torrent of PluriPotent force - 5 Elves lend their Voice As Deepwood becomes Ethereal, and as Demon's Fusion approaches the Dark Lord's - Silmarien fuses Telekinesis with Break Enchantment A Transmutation with Abjuration fusion. Her voice exalted in PluriPotency. But it must be so, for much energy is spent to negate the Dark Lord's resistance to High Elven Magik.... The Spell has Outward Focus - as Penetrance - Her Staff explodes into Blue&Orange - sending a telekinetic surge at the Dark Lord - just as Demon releases his Fusion - draining power from the Dark Lord. At exactly the same time, a violent force assaults the Dark Lord - The Powers strive against time - it takes precious moments to ready this mighty dweomer - for a metaconcert is no simple thing. OoC: DC check= Base=10+5+10+ Break Enchantment=25+11 Synergy (14 Peredhil+5 Elves)=39 Dark Lord's SR=-50 =Nett 50 Demon Lightfoot's Energy=+33 83 NETT Versus Will Save DC=70. You have 33% chance of success Dark Lord. Kev - roll dice at DC 13 (i.e. put in -13 as modifier)...I thought you might like to roll it. If you fail, you are pushed very violently back into the Rent. If you do save, you still need to roll a concentration check (don't worry about it, I've just checked your character sheet) LOL!! |
| Silmarien Aldalome07-23-03, 03:16 PM | OoC: If the Dark Lord is successful in repairing rent - Sil goes into Defensive Mode - and Demon/Kev can DM if you all wish to proceed. See You Suddenlyyyy..will be returning in about 5 hours or so.... well done everyone! |

| Silmarien Aldalome07-24-03, 07:40 AM | From the Annals of the Peredhil Second Age 5251 ...And so it was, that Elmacar's Heir - Deepwood did do Battle with the Usurper nigh the very Gates of Hell. And knowingly did Deepwood stride forth - with the collective Lore of ten thousand years of Elvendom his to command. His eyes ablaze with starlight. Tall and Fey he seemed, though beside the Dark Lord, only a diminutive figure - yet fearless in his stride. Golden bow afire with Fusion - Gold and Blue - and Human Bane - Alive and eager to strike the Dark Lord. Searing Elven Flames struck the Dark Lord from both Bow and Sword. Many times did the Dark Lord cry out in Eternal Pain - as Holy Electicity rent the Dark Lord to his core. And each time the Dark Lord was struck - the Universe was shaken to its Foundations. Even the Deities and ever-warring Shar and Selun were Shaken - and Torn - by the Duel. All time stood still - and above Deepwood in the mantle of the Midnight Sky the Three Stars Gileledhwen, Silastarinnen, and Telecontar blazed in Conjunction. The Dark Lord Fell to One Knee. And 'twas told by Silmarien in Ancient Tome..... "...thence did all the Elven Armies cheer in Adulation - and Verily did Deepwood recall the might of his forebear Elmacar in that Dark Hour, for despite there being no hope, Deepwood did not Despair - and Ever is Courage measured not by any Power, but by Strength of Heart. Long were we in discovering this simple Truth, for ever in our Vanity did we strive for Mastery With Power: with Magik...... .......but ever treacherous was the Dark Lord - ever cunning, and ready to twist, distort and deceive. This is the Wont of Self-Deception and Fragility. Of Truth Lost - where the Difference between Strength and Power is hidden. So cunning was the Usurper in the Lies he told, that some say He even believed them himself. Yet all was not lost that Day on the Battlefield although it seemed to us otherwise at the time - such death and ruin and violence none of us had seen. But one hope, that Deepwood's Life did Eternally Wound the Dark Lord so that never again could Kevmann extinguish that Pain. Ever it stayed with him - an inner burning and Eternal Suffering - and so shall it stay, bound up with the Lies and Deceipt of the Unredeemable. Deepwood's blows were superficial to body but Unextinguishable in the Existential Realm. Little did we glean at the time about this, and Little did we know what this would bring....... .....and likewise, Deepwood's sword, the Human Bane did taste The Dark Lord's very blood - for the Sword did bespeak Urgency to Deepwood to ensure the fulfilment of this task. And so it was that the Human Bane had its wish...." And so it was, that despite all Word - the Dark Lord broke Tryst - and seeing futility in the Duel, he sought to escape the Rent. And being Ever Treacherous, he sought to claim fairness in Duel, and fidelity to Duel - despite his dishonour. And despite his breaking of the Sacred Code of Conduct amongst Duelers. For without his Shadow Magic, the Dark Lord was no match for Deepwood. Yea, verily and despite Godlike Power, the Dark Lord Feared His Own Image. For what was Deepwood but a representation of Life - the Living Embodiment of Life's Essence - The Usurper feared more than anything else. This more than any Dweomer - a fundamental threat to his existece and self-hood. Deepwood's Truth - is the reality of Life - and he reflected that back at The Dark Lord. This Mirror was a Fundamental Thread to the Dark Lord's sense of self. And so, ultimately, The Usurper was a tragic figure - yet vast in his violence - as vast His violence as was his denial of Truth. And no logic, reason, or kindness could make The Usurper see this..... Ever and Amen. But then, you already know this - for naught is Hidden in This Universe. You were Here during the Rending, and your Life you brought to the Universe - to your own succour. But know this! This was foretold, as was also foretold Your Summoning to the OneLand. So you can Remember yourself - so you can have a Second Chance - for All Is Interconnected Here - and you Remembering this Now as you Read - somewhere underneath these words - subvocal Lore - Unspace - you recognise another Truth that defies all words. It Sings in you Right Now - and you find the Courage to Give it Life. Be content that while you are Here, you are not Separated from Life. The Life of the OneLand is Everywhere and Nowhere all at Once. This is the MultiVerse of All Creation - where you are Humbled and Exalted - Bravely Diminished - Frivolousely Serious, Daringly Simple. But what you are just begninning to Discover, is that the Great Weave is Interlaced both in the OneLand and it straddles your World also. In This We Are One - and I Speak to You Across the Void - We Are One - Remember This - All Separation is an Illusion. You are Never Alone This Discovery Awaits your Journey. Remember who you Really Are - far Vaster also Smaller than anything you Imagine. You have Forgotten Yourself so you can Remember All Over Again. YOU LIVE! THIS IS A MIRACLE - YOU FORGET YOURSELF - REMEMBER NOW - YOUR WORLD DEPENDS ON THIS KNOWING - THE WEAVE CONNECTS US ALL. Across all Time and Space. Ever and Amen |

| Silmarien Aldalome07-28-03, 12:25 PM | OoC: this is just reassurance to team members that I haven't gone away - and have been in contact with Kev, The Zollex, Tigernach, and Demon Lightfoot (I saw your post to the Elf-Bashers and thought it great!). It is perfectly OK for pauses to define spots in game-play. We await Zollex's activity - but do not wish to pressure him to enact it prematurely. There has been the need to create statistics. So, enjoy the refactory phase everyone - See You Suddenly Silmarien.... Kevmann - you should know, I have spent the last four days doing EXTENSIVE research on Weave and Shadow Weave matters, and have been in close contact with several Loremastes - some of whom I found elsewhere on the Net. I have much clearer knowledge of what it is you need to be doing to effect your sought outcome..... The Battle is Nigh Everyone...... Cheers&Best to you - looking forward to your company suddenly/soon. Silmarien |
| zollex507-31-03, 08:09 PM | OOC: *gulp* Here i' goes.... Zollex moves his hands in a deliberate motion and repeats some arcane words. A glowing sphere appears above Kevmann's creation's location. The shpere flattens and widens into a flat surface. The half facing downward shows a bright light. Zollex then casts another spell, with different motion and wording. The bomb begins rising into the gate. OOC: Go me! :D |
| zollex507-31-03, 10:59 PM | OOC: So the Rent no longer exists. Oh well, I can still fuse spells. And Orcy's going to reply to the Dragon Foundation. How do I know this stuff? I just do. ;) |
| Silmarien Aldalome08-01-03, 09:35 AM | ....The Peredhil Verse explodes into the Silver of Divination - an aura of incandescence - which reveals to Silmarien - in crystal clarity the Dark Lord's intention. Silmarien watches on in abject horror, her face whitens as she perceives The Dark Lord's Incantation. She turns her attention inwardly - and then Directs a Mental Voice to the Dark Lord - infusing it with all her disgust of Kevmann ..FOOL! SHAR DOES NOT CONSTRAIN YOU AS MYSTRA LIMITS ALL BUT THE CHOSEN - BUT YOU ARE NEITHER CHOSEN OF MYSTRA NOR LOREMASTER OF THE SHADOW WEAVE! YOU WILL FAIL!... but secretly, she is not sure how this 'experiment' will eventuate - but she is more concerned with Insult and effect, than truth. She turns her attention inwards and muses to herself "he must secure a Drow Shadow Weave Loremaster - and one who wields Darkfire - this is not Darkfire! The Drow are not amongst us - we yet have precious time on our hands.....we must HURRAY!" Her attention shifts to Zollex - she sees a Conjuration - and perceives the Gate to the Positive Material Plane. She gasps. Suddenly a roaring Dweomer erupts immediately upon the Dark Lord's Dweomer "Rh'eil & Mystra Guide Us" she whispers in terror. She prays - momentarily horrified by the knowledge of the pending collision between Conjuration, Necromancy, Abjuration - and some sort of energy from the Positive Material Plane. A surge erupts outwards from the Gate - another force propels Dweomer from the Other Side - Silvery Golden Radiance - as Holy as Midday Light. Silmarien SCREAMS - with all the Might of the Peredhil Verse behind her in PluriPotency - the Shout EXPLODES outwards at the Speed of Sound - all the Elves SCREAM - a colloseum of two thousand screams - discordant hysteria and terror.....Hands cover ears and to no avail. It is a metaphysical horror an unparalleled existential annihilation of the Self. No Psyche strong enough to withstand - not even the Dark Lord's. ...DDDDDDDDUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKK.... She throws herself on the ground - and there is an explosion of such magnitude - Never Seen in the One Land - vaster than any ever known in the Prime Material Plane.... KKKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAABBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOO OOOMMMMM A Black, Gold, Silver, and Blue Infusion erupts across the Battle Field - it is One League in Diameter - ALL on the Battle Field are inundated in it..... In SubVocal Space everyone 'hears' a defeaning scream - Shar's and Mystra's Voices are Hurled outwards into the Prime Material Plane - agonising Pain. Shock Waves are propagated through both the Weave and Shadow Weave - but no Rending - only Immeasurable Pain from the Mistresses - and Fury and unmeasured Horror from both Deities - propelled throughout the Universe! All within One League are encased in Magic Unrestrained.... Suddenly, there is a corruscation of Divine Voice - Corellan, Rh'iel, Ehlonna - aligned Sing Lamentation - Rh'iel's Tears fall on the Dweomer - Corellan's Hope embraces the Battle Field, Ehlonna's Viriditas encases all Grasses in Silver. The Fires burn - hotter than anything ever known - they are a metaphysical horror of unspeakable magnitude - and of as yet Unknown Side Effects. Everyone is Burned - but not destroyed - Rh'iel's Tears spare many lives - but not all - 100 Elves succumb - the rest burned by Unspeakable Horrors - wraiths wail, Hallowed Fires Burn - Eternal Moments pass - the Fires End - grass remains, trees - but humanoid Flesh has been rent. OoC: All with less than 50 HP perish immediately. Everyone takes 100 points of damage. No savings throw, and everyone is senseless - including the Dark Lord - technically, a Fort save is required - waived by way of the Unforseen. The First to Emerge - Dark Lord - he has One Action. Then the Heroes Awaken from Horror - 2 rounds later - high level Elves. Three rounds - the rest. |

I can survive it, but I think Aicanár has only a few HP left. Lots and lots of Potions of Cure Serious Wounds.... :rolleyes: |
| Orcy The Green Wonder08-01-03, 09:26 PM | OOC: Some random damage that comes from nowhere and nobody gets a save? Well isnt that nice. I also don't see why you give "the dark lord" so many benefits. With this much help he could take us all at level 40, let alone being level 60. He's already strong enough to beat the crap out of half of us before we start hurting him a lot. Giving him a lot of extra help is pushing the boundries on what we can take. The Green Wonder snarls as he is hit with the blast. Recovering after the human, to his disgust, he watches as the human reacts. Only a few knights fall and around half the orcish soldiers drop to the ground, and move no more. OOC: just thought of something, if everyone with under 50 HP dies, Kevmann doesnt have a reason to fight since the majority of his humans just died a rather horrible death. |
| Silmarien Aldalome08-01-03, 09:40 PM | OoC: Orcy! Peace! But, great to see you - Kevmann and all undead took damage - all lesser undead are dead - pardon the pun. The alternative was far worse! If kev isn't so uber - we would have nothing to achieve or fear. The Humans are protected by Intervention - they had no part in the Vanity of The Corruscation of Our Power. AND The Rent in the Shadow Weave is still Rent ...Orcy - Shar, and Mystra are ENRAGED! We have attracted the Ire of the Deities - Our Fusions have propelled Harm into Unspace - we must pray - All of the Universe and their eyes are upon us! All Beings from All Planes - our Actions Threaten the Firmament of the All - Magic has been De-Restrained, and the Deities Tremble....We Are Watched! One Error on our - and all Devastation will Transpire. |
| DeepwoodElvenArcher08-04-03, 05:02 PM | OoC:Hey guys, ummmm, yeah. I just had a huge thing to work uot with my girlfriend, so I didn't have any time to work on Deepwood. I'm gonna start making him. Should be done by the end of the week. Anyhoo, I agree wholehaertly with Orcy, seeingas how I had to fight the guy one on one. |

Anyhoo, I agree wholehaertly with Orcy, seeingas how I had to fight the guy one on one. OoC: And you did a good job of it. You knew the Dark Lord was more Uber before you went into the fight. Remember that. Please also remember the Rent was wholly for YOUR benefit Allies. And if you want a save to halve damage, you will have to make a fort save to save your lives - as per PHB and rules about dam over 50 points. Is anyone still complaining. I'm getting shirty with the Allies for not seeing it from Kev's point of view. His is alone and one versus many. Have compassion for the person who is behind the Dark Lord. It is an amazingly challenging role to be one versus so many and to be so goodwilled about it. I won't have any more complaints. |
| Silmarien Aldalome08-04-03, 08:53 PM | OoC: Now that I've had my nark (nag) at Deepwood - ..Silmarien sees that Deepwood is closer to Death than any of the others - he has just duelled with the Dark Lord. She sees that he will not survive without assistance. She Summons Rh'iels Healing Divination - and Deepwood's Wounds Close. OoC: Quickened Heal spell - non High Elven Magic - cleric spell. There! NO MORE COMPLAINING! |
| DeepwoodElvenArcher08-05-03, 11:14 AM | Whoa, Sil. Take a deep breath. I didn't mean for you to get upset. I'm Orcy didn't either. The last thing we need is fights breaking out amoung the allies. |
| Orcy The Green Wonder08-05-03, 12:23 PM | OOC: Personally if I were Kevmann I wouldnt want so much help. I believe in having a challenge. But a level 60 character is quite a match for a few level 40s. All the hey, you recover faster than everyone, yer better than everyone, you cant be killed by us puny mortals stuff... gets annoying. If "the dark lord" is going to win he has to plan better than we do. I wouldn't expect to be given so much help... anyway... uhm... whoo. |

OoC: Greetings Orcy - thanx for your post. *turns to Campaign Members - this style of comment is quite welcome. It is sufficiently respectful of all party members.* *eyes look straight at you* *smiles at you* *warm radiance from the aether* But, remember too that Kev is a person - and he doesn't rub shoulders with anyone as he is being the Dark Lord - he stares at armies of assailants, and at campaign members who all want to bash Kevmann up. Allies get the solidarity of each other. We must respect Kev adequately. He deserves more reward from us, even when we get carved up by him. Remember to be playful with the bad things that he does to us, he is doing them in-role only. If you've had a look at Kev's posts elsewhere, you'll find him a fairly kind-hearted poster. Nourish each other, don't poke at each other. OK - *puts lectern away* :bow: |
| Kevmann08-05-03, 10:58 PM | OOC: Hello everyone!!! Sorry it took me so long, I just realized we had started up again :) Now, being level 60 against alot of level fourties is not as powerful as you think Orcy... But, my real power lies in epic level spells, and I am going to try to cook up some real nasties. And as per the super magic explosion... I am going to have to move in on my DMing capability, and tone down the blast. First off, the blast was made to effect the weave and shadow weave the most. So, first off, spellcasters will take the most damage, being the closest to the weave. Then, clerics will be next, because they access the weave through their gods. Non-casters will take the least damage, and this likely will be due to the magic items they wield fluctuating wildly, perhaps causing random damage. So realy, the masses of the army will not be effected THAT much, although all may have some kind of lingering effects, wether damage or something else. But, as to the specifics, I leave that up to Sil... On to roleplaying! In character: "I sense the rend is still present, and my attempt failed. But that is no matter, for it is just a matter of time before I find the knowledge I need to break it. But now, I feel the power of elf-bane, my ring, and Godsbane comes to life in my hands. Say what you wish Elves, I am now open to your parley if you so wish it. I will spare your lives, for now, if you decided you would rather retreat :) And that goes for you too, Orcy, if you would like to go crawl back into your mountain *chuckles evily* |

But, as to the specifics, I leave that up to Sil... OoC: Hey Kev! Great to see you - WELCOME VERY! I introduced energy from +ve material plane - and added an interaction effect - beyond bombs original scope - I made it bigger! By Uber-Fusion it WAS ALSO metaphysical in scope - so instead of nerfing it, a BIGGER bomb was made by extra gas from the +ve material plane - so that it could get Undeads. Now - it's still 1 league big. But your "range in damage" thingy stays. And, I REALLY LIKE the Weave-metaphor for justification. Spellcasters take most damage 150 HP to spellcasters - 90 Clerics 70 Druids 40 The Rest :bow: ZOLLEX - The Pseudodragon is SPARED - not being particularly weave-esque it ONLY TAKES 40 HP. All lesser undead DEAD! Zombies, Skeletons, and 80% of wraiths and wraith-esque creatures. It was a metaphysical BLAST that radiated through the Weave. Deliberate. The beings of the positive material plane were IN A BIG BAD MOOD with the arrogant mortals for putting the world at risk. So, they zorched us big! But, couldn't stand to see undead go unharmed. They're too .... +ve mat. plane for that. Rh'iel saved us with her tears - OR ELSE ALL OF US WOULD HAVE BEEN MADE EXTINCT. If the Deities DON'T get the sense that we're careful with Ubermagic, it is their best interests to wipe us away. So, the deities are *watching us* as are all beings on all planes that can scry. Role Play!!!!! "I sense the rend is still present, and my attempt failed. But that is no matter, for it is just a matter of time before I find the knowledge I need to break it.

BACK IN THE RENT FOOL!!!!! 50 Elves suddenly materialise at your feet - the strongest of body in the Elven Armies. They CHARGE YOU AT A GREAT RUN - crying "Gurth Gothrim Tel'Quessir! Gurth Gothrim! Gurth Gothrim!" brandishing Mithril Fist, and shining Blue and Silver Armour. Their eyes are fell, and bright. Their faces grim. |

You make me laugh, Sil, you may have made me stay once, but never again shall I be cut off from by god" And at that, Kevmann raises his hands in the air and disapears and then several of him, more then ten, appear and different parts accross at different places (teleportation and creation). "Now that my magic is back, you have no chance of winning! I will have fun shaming you and your elves." |

| Silmarien Aldalome08-06-03, 01:09 PM | ...The Elven Arcane Archers load their Bows - and Fire. Dozens of arrows at each target. They Explode on Impact. Suddenly - the Peredhil are 15 a newcomer materialises - OoC: (See H/E Foundation) - "Verily the Weave is disturbed, for I was sleeping when the very aether did explode into mine ears - causing me to wake. I had a dream A Silver Gate did appear before me - and beyond - I saw a vast explosion of Silver Black and Gold Fires. Rh'iel Came to me "You Exist to Live for Life - all you are is everywhere and nowhere. Fear not, step through the Gate". Silmarien embraces him quickly - The Verse is Strengthened. A PluriPotent SHOUT explodes outwards through the Weave. The Peredhil EXPLODE into Incandescence, and hurl Bluefire into Pnatemul - into the Rent - the fires form a canopy in the Rent - suspended in a highly charged field. It is Abjuration and Conjuration. |
| Tigernach08-07-03, 09:38 PM | Hi all! I too like Deepwood am still working on my character and will be back on board next week....going away to look at some more rocks. I have just gone through and read the more recent posts...very interesting stuff here people and am looking forward to getting back into it. Sil, Kevmann, as always, doing a brilliant job keeping it all together :bow: Zollex - your new avatar suits you much better :D Cheers, Tigernach |
| Kevmann08-07-03, 10:39 PM | "You shall die for your impotence!" And at that, the dark lord raises his hands, and he is engulfed in a column of flame, then, the flame spreads out from him in a great wave of unholy fire, immolating all it comes in contact with! And the Dark Lord seems unhurt by his own fire. Even more strangely, the fire stops, and continues to burn in a huge ring around the Lord. "you have felt the pain of heat, now experiance the emtiness of ice" And at this, he raises his hands upward and the weather begins to change considerably as he begins to cast. (I am casting the dire winter epic level spell, its a baddy :)) |
| Silmarien Aldalome08-08-03, 09:27 PM | As the Dark Lord incants - there is the experience of a sudden chilling - clouds gather - masses of black, heavy, low cloud, and a frosty chill. The Airs change direction, and the landscape cools. The winds howl ...... Icey blasts and eruptions But, just as the Dark Lord completes the Spell - the 50 Elven Strong Arms CHARGE the Dark Lord - and pummel him head long and directly in his belly. They are moving very quickly, and their gait is magically fortified - a Dweomer upon them, rather than upon the Dark Lord. They charge as a magically fortified triangular wedge - magical strength focussed through the member at the Triangle Apex. The Dark Lord is HURLED Backwards - doubled over and winded - gasping for airs. But, something else is happening. As the Dark Lord invoked his Spell - all Weave Users suddenly feel strange. There is a surge of sub-vocal Sound - and Electricities erupt from the ground in random places - surging upwards, criss-crossing and arcing through the airs. OoC: that's only one bit. Sil does something next KEV! Post the stats for the Spell for me or a link. |
| Silmarien Aldalome08-08-03, 09:52 PM | OoC: Kev - Make A Reflex Save DC=55 (yields 50-50 to you) If you fail - you are back in the Rent If you save - you are just outside it. ..Suddenly, the Peredhil Verse undergoes a dramatic shift in Tempo. There is a random pulsing to the Verse - First One Half-Elf, then Another takes First Voice - in undecipherable and unpredictable beat. It is a plural-chorus where first one Loremaster Sings,then Another - and spread out across the Battle Field. The Peredhil Share Power - and protect their Verse by sharing the Load. A Druid-Verse Master communes silently with Silmarien and he suddenly Vanishes into the Earth - At the same moment, Silmarien Fuses Elminster's Effulgent Appuration with Maw of Chaos - greatly enhancing the properties of each spell by fusion. OoC: Elminster's Energy lends its Spell Resistance=No to the Maw of Chaos. The Chaotic Energy disrupts concentration - but much more potently than would normally be the case (DC Check at -60 if she is successful see next). Instead of a rolling ball, the Chaos is infused into the six spheres that hover above Silmarien's Head - they raw with crackling Chaos. Silmarien Readies Action with these sphere she bends her will to Kevmann - studying him very closely, looking for the slightest sign of spellcasting......Silmarien looks at Kevmann and smiles maliciousely at him, barring her teeth as she does so. ....YOU WILL FAIL. YOU ARE AN ABOMINATION. WE WILL NOT SUFFER YOU OoC: Zollex Deepwood Demon Lightfoot The Gray Orcy Tigernach Gellion if i've forgotten anyone - woops - my apologies [i]....ASSAIL HIM - LET US ASSAULT THE DARK CITADEL..GET HIM BACK IN THE RENT - WE WILL BRING THE ARMIES FORTH AND ASSAULT THE CITADEL.... OoC: Feel free everyone, to use three or four NPC's from the Elven Armies for your own unified assaults. Or your own NPCs as you wish (e.g. Knights of Von Drach are Orcy's). And, use directives to the DM with your requests - by saying what your NPC's do in First Person. Eg: Say through your NPC's to everyone "THROW THE OIL NOW - ". Everyone's Initiative. If you are away and the thread gets a sudden burst of posts, we look forward to you claiming your RRR's (all your missing Actions) upon your returning.......if a lot of actions are missing, to make it easy, we'll simplify - by posting a quick summary-response to your RRR. You may enjoin as you wish - and I always love to see your posts - Silmarien |
| Kevmann08-10-03, 03:08 AM | OOC: Sil, due to the copyright laws, I can't repeat the spell to you, but it is on page 76 of the epic level handbook under Dire Winter. In basics, it has a humongeous radius (thousands of feet I think) and it lasts for 20 hours doing 2d6 cold damage a round to all in the area. Oh, and I think I lost the link to the roll internet sight. |
| The Gray08-10-03, 03:29 AM | The Beast speeds from his position near Silmarien towards the Necromancer, his mighty sword raised high and crackling with the energies of anarchy, order, evil, and good; it reaches him and swings downward in an attempt to disrupt Black Kevmann's spellcasting. OOC: 60ft. movement I'd assume would reach him . . . unfortunately, I, too, lost that dice URL thingy. Though I will be doing a lot of damage (I hope; I'm going for a high Concentration DC): If I hit, that's 2d6+28 for GS damage, plus 2d6 holy damage and 2d6 chaotic damage (assuming Kev's LE), 10d6 for balanced ability, and 3d6 electricity from lightning blast. And a lot more if I crit. Wow. |
| Kevmann08-10-03, 03:34 AM | OOC: Sil, Gray, I think you are forgetting my ring of fire that is STILL ACTIVE and working, it is basically a flame strike spell that has conjuration and alteration, making it a 40ft ring of fire around Kevmann that stays there for one minute (1/round per level). Although it does not do alot of damage (only 15d6 I think is the max) remember that it is half divine damage that you can not defend against. Carry on! |

From the Elven Apex Leader - tall for an Elf - nigh 5'10" in height, and deeply muscular, sinewy Elven form, wiry and hard. The Apex is a carefully crafted Gestalt - where arms are angled and entwined, such that the Leader of the Apex receives the combined might of 50 Elves. This is a suicide mission to these Elves. The leader knows his body may break on impact. But, the Elven Clerics watch on closely - poised to Act. "....WE DO NOT FEAR YOUR FIRES - WE FIGHT TO SAVE THE ONE LAND AND THE FORMENO NAURE! WE SHALL BURN - AND IF WE DIE, WE GO KNOWING WE HAVE SERVED OUR PEOPLE! BACK IN THE RENT ABOMINATION!" OoC: I'm not going to nerf the Fires with kick-Ass Counter Magic.

Dice Roller: Dice Roller (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/rolldata.asp) To The Gray: I'll assume you "readied Action", in your RRR. You need to roll to hit (his AC is 60 - I recommend a touch attack here; AC=16). Kev's Concentration is stacked to 77. You need to do A LOT of damage with your Readied Action to fuzz the spell. GOOD LUCK THE GRAY! Net: 10+Spell Level(9?/10?)+Damage Done - 77. If result greater than 0, Kev wins, if less, The Gray. ROLL! |

I'll check tomorrow - bed time now. cheers sil |
| The Gray08-11-03, 04:29 PM | OOC: Sil, I'm not casting a spell, so you're using the wrong formula . . . the Beast is attacking him (1d20+48, need a 12), and if I hit I get 2d6+28+10d6+2d6 holy+2d6chaotic, the result of which will set his save DC. And I think I got the dicer to work . . . kinda. I got the attack roll and Ref save against the Kev-fire to work, but it (for some reason) will have nothing to do with my damage. Here's the stuff I got: Rolls (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp) Tell me if that works and if I screwed up somehow. Thanks. |
| Kevmann08-12-03, 04:38 AM | OOC: Hey Sil, here is my save http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Kevmann#53256 I got a 56 which means I passed. As for his creatures, while I am finishing casting the Dire Winter spell, I will intertwine another spell. I will cast an uber dissmissal upon the creature. I just looked at the stats of the creature, he has 30 hit die, and I have 60 hit die, which means that he must make a will save DC 86 or be wisked away to his home plane. I happen to notice he only has a +41 to saves, which means even with a natural 20 ( total result of 71) he can not pass (unless you have something to stop it). RP: As he casts the spell, he notices the beast rushing up, and bursting through the barrier, his fur on fire. Kevmann reaches his holy simbol out, and a blast of fire threatness to blast the creature out of this dimension. "It is too late for you, my winter has almost begun, and to the death of your armies if you do not withdrawl. Also, a new player has arrived in this world" The dark lord says, and chucles evily. |
| The Gray08-12-03, 05:31 AM | OOC: I still can't get the dicer to roll my damage/Concentration DC. Maybe someone else could try it for me and see if that works? Maybe it's not made to roll that many dice (19), or something. I dunno. Help? I got nothin against the dismissal, yet. If I cancel the DW would that delay the casting of that spell? |
| Kevmann08-12-03, 06:32 AM | OOC: Hmm, forcing Kevmann to cast the dismissal probably delayed the casting of DW for an additional round, so the creature did help some by saving you some time. |
| archNME08-12-03, 09:47 AM | Zahal flies toward the dark citadel followed by his undead and unholy horde. The slim, pracfticly skelatal, elf orders to stop. HALT!

I am pretty much confused at whom vs whom is here and where they are. :confused: OoC: Nicely put - nice and directive, and clear with your needs. I appreciate it. ...Behind Rung there is an army of several thousand Elves in Shining Blue and Mithril Mail. They brandish their Mithril Tipped spears and corruscations of BlueFire erupt from the legions in the night sky. They wear Hauberk, carry sword, and cheer in unison. Amidst their ranks - wielders of High Elven Magic - Singing Verse - and various loremasters of all kinds there also. As the eagle flies, you see Orcy the Green Wonder and the Knights of Von Drach - Fourteen of the Fifteen Peredhil (Half-Elven Verse Masters) incandescent with Azure Abjuration, and all dispersed randomly. There is also Demon Lightfoot - and these ranks face the Dark Citadel of Pnatemul. It's unholy spires pierce the night sky as the Dark Lord summons a Dire Winter. As he incants in evil verse, you see a wedge of 50 Elves - Strongarms - pummel the Dark Lord - he doubles over in pain and is winded - but not pushed back far enough. The Dark Lord is huge, and he is immolated in roaring fires - unholy power, and radiant Necromancy. On his finger glows a Ring - the Elf Bane. The Gray - or some beast in communion with him, suddenly cries out into the night sky - and charges to the Dark Lord - and assaults him with Force and Chaos. There is an explosion of colliding dweomer, and a surge of Wild Magic in the night sky. All about, electricities surge upwards from the ground in blue arcs of power. OoC: 1. Silmarien has a readied action. 2. The Gray is not dispelled. 3. Kev must make a concentration check - or fizzle Dire Winter spell. ZOLLEX! WHAT DO YOU DO? Silmarien |
| archNME08-12-03, 11:31 AM | So this is the game. It seems our ally is quite outnumbered and his situation is quite grim. What do you propose, Rung, my faithful servant? What is our strategy, Our plan? The skull keeps floating soundlessly, without any obvious reaction to his lord's questions. Soon after, Zahal grins widely. You are indeed my disciple, . Let's bring the new pieces to the board and show the gold-skinned and green ones who is the ultimate enemy, the ultimate player. Take command of my peons, knights and bishops, Rung. Let the king and the queen get closer to the opponent's key figures. The floating skull nods and floats back to Zahal's horde giving new orders. Thus creating a lot of commotion within the unholy populance. As Rung finishing giving orders, the lesser evils of Zahal move in to the fray, they numbers are little but their strength is : The massive skeleton dragons, carrying liches and zombie-mages alike, intercept the Knights of Von Drach, reading their spells and incantations as they fly. The dark acolytes emerge on the battlefield chanting summoning spells. Thus creating terrible beasts known as the Grugnah, beasts that are formed from the carrion of battles: worms, flies, musquitos, crawlers and other disgusting bugs are gathered to form a demihuman figure. Growing in each step, these beasts are vulnurable only to special magical means of attack. The Vargouilles float above the elf armada, dropping mossy brown seeds. These seeds, once fed with blood will grow into red weed that radiates all the false emotions that a soul can feel: despair, hate and fear. The vampires and their spawns fly toward the dark lord's army, biting all living so his forces shall be infused with the gift of immortality and inhuman strength. And finally, Zahal's task force of hell descends upon the battlefield, commanded by pit fiends and gelugons. This task force contains all that is unnatural and evil: Lesser demons, mindless slaves, decaying zombies and paralyzed followers. All poised to strike the elves and their allies. Zahal watches the events with pure delight. He than summons for his sickle, created by the screams of hundreds of lost souls. He kisses the dark blade softly. Time for us, dear nefastia, to harvest the living once again... i see you are as anxious as I am. But careful planning is what separates us from our brainless slaves. Isn't it? The game looks very interesting, but in chess, only the king matters and all other figures, peons and castles alike, are expandable. Let us enjoy this moment and strike the enemy. This is the reason for our existance, no? Zahal stops for a moment as if expecting an answer. But than he shakes himself, removing himself from the trance of self-delusoion and descends onward towards Kevmann. |

Cheers Well, thanks, but you'll want to add 2d6+28 and 4d6 electricity to that, as you didn't put my GS damage in (but you did add everything else--4d6 antithesis and 10d6 special weapon ability). Though that might be overkill, depending on what Kev's Cocentration bonus is. |
| zollex508-12-03, 05:03 PM | OOC: Let's see. *flips through spellbook* Ah, this will do. Zollex also has a readied action. 2d6 damage a round wouldn't be good for me! |
| Kevmann08-12-03, 07:23 PM | OOC: WHAT, how did his thing do that much damage??? First off, remember that I have a ring of major universal energy protection. Meaning that I reduce 30 points of damage from all energy sources. Which means that he acctualy does 7 + 28 + 5 damage, which converts to 40 damage. Meaning I have to make a concentration check DC 59 which I automaticaly do on a roll of one. RP: Kevmann watches as Zahals army of devils and undead come forth, and then he smiles evily in the casting of his spell. His eyes flash brilliantly and the gate to the citadel opens, with hordes of Pit fiends and Ereynes flow out. But that is not all, because the ammased army of humans begins moving forward. Catapults and Ballista begin fireing forward, wizards and sorcerers beggin to do a long-range peppering of the field using fireballs and energy substituded cold balls, lightening balls, acid balls, and sonic balls. Kevmanns clerics take up their positions in the field, ready to use healing and their devine power to help in the battle. They also finish up giving elemental resistance: cold to all in the army. His archers in the back draw their bows and begin letting volleys of arrows into the battlefield. His first line is a line of varius undead, including skeletons, zombies, ghouls, specters, and mummies moving forward to take the brunt of the first assult. After that, the first line of humans are alternating, every even one having greatswords to cut down enemy spears, the odd having warhammers to assist in melee and break through enemy shields. Behind them are spearmen with long reaching weapons with large shields at the ready. Behind them are the main bulk of the infantry, composing of several different individual prefences. Besids that, the calvery bring up the two flanks of the army, providing a mobile heavy armor to devide the enemy and protect our flanks. Above them, the six remainging dracoliches swoop around, perparing to realse their horrid fire breath upon the battlfield below. "Now you are caught, Sil, between two armies. And my Dire Winter is almost complete!!!!" OOC: I hope I described it well :) |

Silmarien Adds: At the Same Time the Gray strikes Unholy Flesh, The Apex Leader strikes Kevmann's Unholdy guts, and they propel the Dark Lord backwards. While the Userper is not hurled back into the Rent, the Collective Fist of 50 Mighty Elves deals him a great deal of damage. The Elves are immolated in Ugly Unholy Fires, and cry out in pain as they Strike the Dark Lord. You hear bone breaking, as the Head of the Apex's body breaks as he strikes the Dark Lord. Suddenly, from the Armies, you hear a Holy Chanting - a Projection of an Elven Cleric Appears at the Apex Head, and Heals the Elven Strongman. OoC: Dark Lord takes another 35d6 PHYSICAL DAMAGE. Kev, roll it, as I can't do so, this is a quick post from work. Please adjust your concentration DC Check appropriately, add in The Gray's extra bits too please. Thank you :) To ArchNME: Note, your Lesser Undead are Dead (see up a couple of posts). So, all Zombies, Ghouls, Skeletons, and 80% of your wraiths. I will make an elaborate DM of a response when I get home. For now. ALSO - We need to position you. Your Arrival Point. I will allow a post from you to say what direction you arrived from. I personally think you should issue forth from the Black Citadel, but will allow you free choice here. West is the Great Forestg and its Interdict. The Undead QUAIL at the Site of the Natural Order, and the Forest Spirit watches on with baleful eyes. With the partial regrowth on the Battle Field, the Forest Spirit may extend some of its power - and disintegrate all it strikes. To the East - the Great Mountain Ranges. And bound by Forest and Mountains, Pnatemul, the Dark Citadel. The Great Mountains run North-South for many hundreds of Leagues....and their peaks pierce Cloud. OoC: I'd suggest you came down the mountains, or from the Citadel. Your only other option was a north or south march. I won't allow a massive materialisation from somewhere though. BTW, nice to meet you - your undead lesions are truly FOUL! As they ought! The Elven Armies see the Vile Abomination of Undead Lesions. The Clerics shout out ABOMINATION! PERISH FOREVER - YOU ARE A VIOLATION OF NATURAL LORE AND SHOULD NOT EXIST. WE WILL NOT SUFFER YOU. ZOLLEX - SPECIFY MY FRIEND - TOO VAGUE! Cheers Sil |
| Kevmann08-12-03, 09:38 PM | You know what? Yall go ahead and have fun, 35d6 damage does 122 damage by itself, it is impossible for my character to even cast a spell or protectec against anything so I see no point in playing. In any case, I have probably taken enough damage to die anyway. Yall have fun, bye. |
| archNME08-13-03, 03:17 AM | Zahal rises his arms to the sky and shouts "COME!" summoning a humangous carriage, been pulled by hundreds of Nightmares and animal half-devils. The 'carriage' contains enormous number of dispicable abominations, structures and creaturs. Vampires, skeletons, devils - undead and unholy alike. Darkened pyramids, black citadels and living zombie forests - all waiting anxioustly to conquer and destroy. This carriage slowly rambles on from the eastern edge of the mountains, even the smallest of creatures hundreds of leagues away see it and tremble before it's sheer size. The Invasion continues - Rung unleashes another massive force - the evil treants that combine together an enormous falanx that look like a walking forest. Decaying and withering, these trees join Kevmann's artillery and some merge themselves with the wooden catapults and ballistas, creating an unholy weapon, that does not require manpower. Instead of rocks and arrows, these abominations fire disgusting green moss that eats living flesh. The rest of the treants move forward to Sil's forces, those that reach the front will immediatley plant themselves and multiply in an unnatural speed. Giving birth to another dead treant in less than a minute. Morever, to these human and unhuman machines of war, joins another feature - skeletal wheeled terrors, size larger than a dragon. Any creature unlucky enough to be close to them would see hundreds of tiny skeletal arms beneath the machine's corpus, reaching and tearing the spoils of war from the earth: heads, limbs and even small pieces of skin, broken swords, arrows and armor - All are gathered to form golems of the most various shapes and sizes. While Zahal himself flies towards Kevmann and whomever Kevmann is fighting with. Armed with a blackened scythe the unholy master grins. :smirk: It is just the begging, my love. OOC: :confused: :confused: :confused: Is Kevmann dead??? |
| Gellion08-13-03, 04:26 AM | Gellion opens up a gate to the Far Realms behind Kevmanns forces, he orders the creatures that come forth to attack Kevmann and archNMEs forces. |

Silmarien will create a second account - called The Usurper (usurping the usurper). Alternatively, we can leave it to ArchNMY. But - it is qualified - Kev may reclaim his throne whenever he wishes. Because, grudges cost The Self too much. When Kevmann has calmed down - and realises his power - that he has 800 HP akagillion defences, access to epic level spells (which we do not) can heal all HP with the touch of that foul sword, or with a 100 Heals as a cleric - from in fact any of his clerics, and that he has 10 times as many forces as we do - he may of course return anytime he wishes. With no hard feelings. And, looks like we have another baddie - archNME to help out in the mean time. e-mail silmarienaldalome@yahoo.com for further comments on this event. Your feedback is welcome. No more on the boards here about it though. Cheers Sil |
| Kevmann08-13-03, 05:17 AM | OOC: I may come back some time in the near future, once I feel like I could have fun again playing... RP: With Kevmanns spell failed, and wounds about, he found himself surrounded by elves. With a dash he ran and cut one of them in two as he ran out of the circle with a speed like a blur, in a blink he rushed into the citadel... "I must regenerate, soon shall I emerge to release my full darkness and to a golden age of the humans. To my newest ally, Zahal, I give temporary command of my forces. But remember Zahal, I am watching." And with that, the huge adamantium gate of the citadel swings shut, and locks whith huge bolts... |
| Silmarien Aldalome08-13-03, 09:06 AM | OoC: Greetings, nice post ArchNME! Kevmann is far from dead - but his pride is wounded and power frustrated (for now). He has put you in charge of Evil's forces. Do you accept ArchNME? In Role Play ..The Elven Legions CHEER at the sight of the retreat! The Dark Lord nurses many wounds to his body - his undead flesh is Torn and rend. Ichor flows freely from several wounds. He throws his head back in pain. He is not invulnerable - but nigh so. A reprieve for the allies - The Elven Verse Masters release explosion of Blue Fire - fused with the Silver Evocation. Light and sound explode through the ranks of the Elves. Deepwood is hailed and revered by his People. Silmarien and the Peredhil sing in PluriPotency - and their Tears explode into Silverfire as they infuse the Elf-Verse with their healing. Adamantine Shines in Song-Fire, and you see the Elven Eyes burning fey and with Starlight. But the Celebration is Short, for the Wains of the Abomination arrive - hundreds of Undead. Their radiant illness, white faces, and dead eyes stare into the Void - and draw power from the Shadow Lands. Compassionless, vile, cruel, and hideous to the Living. The Undead and Lost Lives of Those Who Once Lived. The many hundres of Nightmares and animal half-devils in 'carriage'. All manner of abomination: vampires, skeletons, devils - undead, evil treants, golems and unholy alike Green Moss Fire is hurled at living flesh as new evil saplings grow. The Elven Druids Incant. The Elven Paladins and Druids draw Holy Symbol. The Peredhil Enjoin - summoning Verse. Silmarien sees the Undead - and prays - communing with Rh'iel's Inner Radiance. Holy Fire - Silver Life Green is the Earth its Beauty Bright Look Here right Now Revive your Faith You are all much more than you think or know A miracle of Life and blessed with Hope Communion Now with Holy Aspect The Joy of This and All those With Us OoC: The Armies ready Defensive Actions. Turns to reader *Eyes flare into blue dweomer* *A radiant smile greets you - * "Have faith - never forget forgiveness, and bring your Spirit into This Now - and add your Voice to the Melee". |

| zollex508-13-03, 04:37 PM | OOC: Okay, Dire Winter failed, Kevmann left, and Zahal now has comand of his forces. It could be worse, a lot worse. RP: Zollex watches as Kevmann flees to the safety of his citadel, then turns his attention to Zahal. "There is little you, Zahal, and your forces can do to stop us. We will reach the Citadel, and there Kevmann will fall." Zollex casts a Fireball into the center of Kevman's forces and drops several of the remaining soldiers. |
| archNME08-13-03, 04:38 PM | Thank you Kevmann, you have just gave your forces to me... The need to fear my subordinates reactions to my own descisions had never arose. But I believe you will have second thoughts about giving an army to me... giving a living army, that is. khe. Thus said, Zahal raises his upper right hand and than... Lowers it. The air is suddenly filled with high pitched screams that echo and repeat throughout the valley, the carriage moves onward with greater speed than ever. Merging itself with Kevmann's army. The humans weren't even given a chance to defend themselves against the upcoming horror. The vampires turn and continue to bite the human generals and lieutanats to vampiric spawns, their coffins safely lie in the 'carriage'. The soldiers are taken away by the demon lords as new slaves and puppets for Zahal's war machines. The forces of human power and undead maccabre join to an unholy unison. Giving birth to an army that can only get stronger with each kill. This new power turns it's flank to face the new threat commanded by Gellion. The first to challange this army is the Grugnah - beasts that are formed from the carrion of battles: worms, flies, musquitos, crawlers and other disgusting bugs are gathered to form a demihuman figure. Growing in each step, these beasts are vulnurable only to special magical means of attack. But regardless, the elven spellfire is too strong for the lesser minions, undead are destroyed and demons are banished as soon as they reach the power of the verse. Torched in the blue holy flame. Well, well, it seems our foe has taken defensive strategy, we must advance our key figures. Don't you agree, my love? The scythe writhles and dances to the light, as if it's excited. Zahal fearlessly rushes towards the elven forces. How can one, pure of high elven blood, be affected by their incantaions? I have no need in rings of power, nor artifacts of greatest magic. My love, my QUEEN!!, is with me and there is little you can do. Allow me to reverse this small setback! *spits* ELVES! ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRghgh!!!! ((Any one that is struck with the Blackened scythe sees a very strange hallucination = a crowned beautiful maiden of elven blood sits on a high leaved throne, surrounded by sparkling waterfalls and beautiful ballads. The maiden sings an produces a a hand to the struck soul. Promising eternal peace and comfort. But as soon as the soul reaches and touches the maiden's hand, his vision returns to normal... there is no maiden, only a dirty disgusting figure that no one could imagine as beautiful, wearing a golden crown. The figure keeps laughing histerically while holding the soul's hand. "Welcome to my kingdom, peace and comfort will come soon! oh, VERY soon". Once finished the soul is lost in the midst of all others that this blade has taken. None has managed to escape her call. None at all.)) OOC: It is so good playing the evil bastard, only setback is that I know that I will lose in the end... :( but who cares??? :devil: |

| Silmarien Aldalome08-13-03, 10:05 PM | ...at the sounds of the mortal cries and suffering - at the hands of the merciless undead - Silmarien bursts into unrsestrained and unashamed tears - this suffering strikes her deeply and is worse than any cut to her flesh. The insufferable destruction of Unlife's massacre. The Elven Clerics summon Light - Bright Daylight an untarnished radiance. Many coherent beams - and the Elven Clerics direct it to the Undeads - those who Predate on Human - but their aim is to create a Safe Space around the humans, a Free Zone of about 20 yards around the growing masses of humans - where Mortals can Convene safely. This requires much of the Clerics' resources. Silmarien cries. And through her tears she calls out in PluriPotency - an Amplified Sending that touches all Human Ears [b]She strives with all her being to protect the life of the Humans. "FIGHT TO SAVE YOURSELVES- DO NOT SUCCUMB - FIGHT! HELP ME - HELP US - THE PEREDHIL STRIVE TO SAVE YOUR LIVES FROM UNLIFE - STRIKE THEM! STRIKE THEM WITH HOLY SWORD, WATER OR WEAPON" "Ai! Varda Ancalime! Elen Sila Lumenn Omentielvo" her voice is exalted! I will not let you die! We are with you HUMANS!" Her form is incandescent - and her tears flow into the Verse. Life must Be - set it Free Do Not Die and Take no Harm The Elves they Come - to Aid your Kin Though, Human Strike us Down Her first thought is for that Scimitar - the dark gleaming blade of horror. Telekinesis of Holy Aura Infusion of Two Spell's Purpose Wrest the Sword from Undead's Holding Fly It High, above the Whoring. There is an eruption of Silver and Mauve from the Peredhil - a surge of Holy-Telekinetic force - bright as Daylight - straight for the Scimitar. OoC: For now, Silmarien puts a HolyAura-Telekinesis fusion as shielding, that she moves wherever the Scimitar goes. It gives effective AC bonus protection from attacks done by the sword - it aids to prevent the sword from touching flesh. Sil |

| Demon Lightfoot08-14-03, 05:12 AM | ''Fools. What did they think they'd get for following Kevmann?'' Lightfoot's voice is cold and heartless, like the blood-stained gravestones of children grinding together. His face is as impassive as a wall of iron, with icy blue fires of boundless rage dancing in his eyes. So the Time is nigh For the War to be rejoined; Cold Dissolution. He fuses Disintegrate and Ice Storm, targets the ''carriage'', and manifests a pitiless downpour of frosty green obliterating energy ''hail'' over it, hopefully destroying it and everything within a 20' radius (or more, DM willing) of it. ''Die, you vermin.'' |
| archNME08-14-03, 05:34 AM | The epic magic makes way towards the powerful carriage and surprisngly hits it! The stone walls crumble, the wooden coffins break while the dark towers and pyramids shake. The skeletons and zombies are disintegrated, All the vermin are dead. "Ohh, we shall die, but since when death had stopped the already dead??" with a grin says Zahal. The floating skull named Rung mumbles something, one could only describe as a... laugh? Suddenly the skeltal parts float and reform to humanoid form, All the zombies rise and recreate their endless throng, The unholy are summoned rebuilding the eternally condemned. Only few minutes pass after the magical attack when the carriage 'reassembles' itself and it's denizens. It seems as if the magical power lashed at it only made the undead horde stronger. "What doesn't UNkills us, makes us stronger." |

Demon Lightfoot's Hail Green Storms of Ruin Undead's Demeanour Shifts to a tremour See how they quail To Dust in the Hail As Demon's fusion strikes the coffins, there is an explosion of Light and Sound - the Coffins in the wain are disintegrated. At the same time, the Undead's Green Acid Moss from the rains on the Elves - many scream in terrible pain. The Elven Verse Masters erect Wall of Forces as protective shielding. Gellion's Summoned hordes engage with the Undead - creatures that do not fear Unlife. In the collision of forces, there is explosion of matter and energy. Wails and screams of torment and ruin. Senseless carnage. Ruin. The Elven clerics use Resurrection and powerful spells to revive the Undead to Life - a slow process. They firstly commune with the Deities to determine which Undead were good in Life, and thence, the Clerics pinpoint these beings - and restore them to life. Silmarien's tears run unabated - she scans the battlefield - her familiar flies into the Night Sky. From the airs, she sees the eruption of Spell - barrage after barrage of light - all colours of the rainbow - mostly the blue of Abjuration. And explosions of sound - wails, elves cheering and also wailing. The familiar looks Eastwards - the sun is one hour off the Dawn - the Eastern sky begins to brighten and it has been a long night. On the ground - the Elven Clerics turn undead - masses of them exploding into dust. But most striking of all - the electricities that erupt from the ground - random surges - a byproduct of the One League Explosion - in the Collision of energy of Necromancy, Positive Material Plane, and the volley of magics from all around. Shar's and Mystra's voices propel through the Weave and erupt in sub-vocal space within the mind's eye. Silmarien sends word to all Allies - in sub-vocal space You remember yourselves - your love for all that lives, breaths and grows. A Gift to the world your being - just so for all who live. Be radiant in your magnificence, and humble in your walk. You are a paradox - unexplainable. You are far more beautiful than you know. Bring your Truth out from the Darkness. Let this Be here. Do not hide yourself - you serve us by being True. Look at this window before you - and see your reflection cast back at you across time and space. It echoes with your walk - and your Gift to us is never forgotten. You will never be forgotten. You are in my heart now and forever. I submit to your Life - that it may propel you forever forwards and bring you all that you ever imagined possible or dreamed true. May your walk be Eternal Healing....For the One Land! Now and Forever |
| Gellion08-14-03, 03:21 PM | I think this is a pretty good description of what the Far Realms would be like. The content from here on out was posted by Tevish Szat. I drempt of my death once, but now it dreams of me/and only rats and rotting flesh can hear my silent plea. Ah, the far realm. to see the defaning silence of the colossal midget's laughing screams and taste the sad exhaliration of the black sun's frozen fire, smelling the delecate taste of fine dungs and hearing the pleasing vile scent of roses in the evning before the moon reaches its apex for dawn. Mad? thats only the begining. here light moves at a snails pace and darkens where it should illuminate while the living ghosts sing the silent songs that bring the colors of the midnight noon to the cheeks of a black pudding who's complexion never changes and plays chess on a mah-jong board with a dragon with a tail for a head and his head on his tail and a baby who has learned in his long life all the things he still dosn't know. But here is not here, so the grand mugwup, who is the lowest of all peoples did edict before there was here and here was everywhere and the people declared him grand mugwup for being a horrible grand mugwup in the future and never paid attention to his speeches to which attention must be paid. the grand mugwup died one day before breakfast but was born after dinner and conceived before he woke up to go to the breakfast which he died before. Let it be known how the heroic villian fended off four of the evil hero's best worst lackey masters because they had killed him and he felt no rancor about it after the fact. after all no one always wins but someone wins every time in order that the game thet no one plays can begin for everyone to participate in. |
| Dark Elven Shadow Master08-14-03, 10:55 PM | OoC: Hello people! I'm very very bad! And I've come to blow you all UP! HERE I COME!!!!!! As the dawn sky lightens, there is a shimmering of Air and you hear a barritone Chanting - a vile sound that disrupts your sense of peace. Suddenly, a Gate opens - its gaping mouth black as pitch, and out vomits legions of Drow. Their eyes are the characteristic Red of this race, and their pointed ears the only thing that shows common lineage with Elves. Silver hair characteristically Drow. They form a triangular wedge - protected by ArchNME's Undead Ranks - the two Lieutentants smile wickedly at each other. Dark Elven Shadow master smells the carnage and smiles - revealing a ghoulish smile with barred teeth. The Drow Incant - their verse a mirror image opposite to that of the Peredhil Verse and Elven Verse - laced with greed, power, and unchecked vengeance. It is an assault on your living essence. Black as Pitch Vomit Forth Explode from the Shadow - Shar's Great Verse Behold our Horror - we strike you with Terror The Shadow our Power - and Shadow is Master There is a sudden explosion of Black Bolts from the Dark Elves This strikes the abjuration of the Elves - and the powers strive - a collision of Magics (not of Weaves - no vortices happen). The Defensive Shielding of the Elves is threatened. The Dark Elven Verse Master's voice becomes as Potent Silmarien's. He HATES SILMARIEN! He calls to her "You're a cheap witch - ugly and deformed - and worth nothing to us - your flesh not even worthy of cattle fodder." The Dark Elf's eyes narrow into a baleful glare of hatred. They flare with the dweomer of Shadow Weave - *look at YOU - all of you* ...you shall perish - you will not be suffered - the Elves are a scourge on the face of the earth and YOU have evoked the Drow's Ire by rendering assistance to the Elves - we WILL PUNISH YOU The Dark Elf's eyes scan for Allies - with DarkSight, he sees YOU and suddenly a surge of Black Energy reigns down on Silmarien, Zollex, Deepwood, Orcy, Demon Lightfoot[/b] OoC: Allies - Roll Reflex Savings Throw to halve damage Black Fire (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Dark Elf#54007) = 44 points for full But - many of the humans - including the resurrected ones - flee - sandwitched between Drow and Undead - it is too much - They join the Allies! Eternally Baleful Dark Elven Shadow Master |
| archNME08-15-03, 02:03 AM | "Ahh reinforcments! And i thought we are destined to lose, tsk, tsk, tsk." I welcome you, shadow master. Though I usually welcome only the dead, you will be my second exception of that rule. Feel comfortable to slay all that your eye meet, and there is plenty flesh to slay in these accursed grounds. The elves, though, should be your topmost priority at the moment. I'm afraid their punny little magics had my horde shudder a little. But no fear, it is only a 'small setback'. Behind you are Gellion's forces, ignore them, as they are a minor thing. Supporting the elves are the orcs, another peon, powerless as the rest of those *spit* 'allies'. The rest are to be ignored - Demon Lightfoot is merely a trickster, and Zollex is just a bishop in a key postion. YOUR MOVE |
| The Gray08-15-03, 02:39 AM | OOC: This is my Reflex save. (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp) Was I successful? The Beast, seeing this new force of Fallen Elves, senses a possible balance disruption. It runs from his position on the battlefield, entering the undead legions, tearing through lesser beings with his mighty Sword. Its great swings send nearly a dozen creatures of unlife back to Hell with each. It seems to be making its way toward the drow legions and their foul Master. OOC Again: Welcome to the fight, DESM (and archNME too, since I haven't said hi to Your Evil Newness yet). To Sil--I'd assume they'll be 50th level each now that there's two of 'em. They're still outnumbered, but two characters ten levels higher will still be a Balance problem. Oh, and would it be terribly disrupting if we killed these ones? They aren't connected to the One Land like Kev was, are they? |

The Gray! The Gray! OoC: To Sil--I'd assume they'll be 50th level each now that there's two of 'em. They're still outnumbered, but two characters ten levels higher will still be a Balance problem. Oh, and would it be terribly disrupting if we killed these ones? They aren't connected to the One Land like Kev was, are they? OoC: You ROCK The Gray - STRIKE THEM DOWN! They are not connected to the Weave - STRIKE THEM DOWN! TO HELL WITH THEM! In terms of level - sounds reasonable enough. There are only Enemies, versus many of us. Silmarien says Ai! Mine Dark Kin - another abomination of Nature - traitors of Corellon! She propels a PluriPotent SHOUT to the Evil Ones! ...SPEAK NOT OF SCOURGES! DROW - AS DISGUSTING AS the refuse passed by a DOG with disturbed BOWELS. Nay! That be too gentle a term! For, even a dog's refuse is treasure to a garden. :) The Peredhil Verse Masters' faces harden to white hatred. The Elves are stirred to hatred. The Peredhil raise an OFFENSIVE Verse - it is the Peredhil Verse - a Conjuration - infused with Evocation - a Holy Meteor Shower rains down on the Enemy...Holy Silver - starlight on Red Fire - a rain of Ruin to all undead and Drow OoC: Holy Fire (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/addtodatabase.asp) Roll Savings Throw Undead+Drow - DC=25, Note to creatures with Spell Resistance - you need to exceed 28 SR Roll (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/addtodatabase.asp) (Both rolls are under "Silmarien" on data base - I rolled Sheit on last one a "3" + 25 = 28! |
| Gellion08-15-03, 09:07 AM | Gellion opens another gate to the Far Realms. More giant creatures from beyond time and space come out of the gate. Gellion orders them to engage the enemy forces. He then fuses Conjuration and Abjuration, forming a protective wall of tentacles over the allies forces. OOC: The tentacles will move out of the way, should the allies need to attack. I will be starting school on monday, so i may even get less time to post on this, but i do not know for sure. Is my sig getting too long? I dont want to annoy people with it. |
| Gellion08-15-03, 09:47 AM | Gellion utters arcane phrases, and giant tentacles with spikes on them come out of the ground. He directs them to wrap around and crush members of the opposing forces. |
| Kevmann08-15-03, 01:23 PM | A dark shade overwhelms the battlefield, as a huge dark shape, shadowy in appearance, nearly 30ft tall in the form of a black mist forms above the citadel of Ok'Pnatemul... From the forms vague head, two red eyes peer out. "Zahal, fool, think not that you have power over me, or that you are more powerful then I. For you do not know my true purpose, my true self. I gave you controll of my forces, and you squandered it, misused it. You are now an enemy to me, for you are obviously not one of my ilk. You destroy without reason, you try to spread chaos and evil without gain or purpose. Therefore you are no ally of mine. And as for your misuse of my armies, you shall be punished accoringingly. For I have the ultimate knowledge of undead, and my controll is better then yours, for I am the master of the void disciples, think not to use that weapon on me again. For I know the weakness of all undead, that which you can not controll! Whach my power now, and know that you shall not move agianst me again!" And with that, the blackness raises its hands, and all of the humans let up a great cheer seeing the form of their leader. "See now, Sil, the power that destroies also creates! And then, a great sound is heard from the voice of the mist. A low unexplainable growl, that permiates the land and washes over the undead. Many of the undead suddenly scream, and find themselves whole again. As Kevmann has realeased positive energy of massive proportions, rasing all of the humans that were made undead by Zahals treachery (a sort of ultra-mass raise dead that targeted humans only). Also, the dracoliches break off from Zahals army, and the undead formialy in Kevmanns army also break off, protecting all of the retreating humans who make their way with the army back to the city and the citadel, forming defensive positions as well. "For now, I shall remain out of this battle, but I shall not forget your treachery Zahal, and nither should you. Leave my people out of this, and I shall not be forced to join the war against you Zahal." Mental Message (to Sil only): "Remember this, Sil." And with the Kevmanns army put together again, and succesfully retreated in defensive positions around the citadel and the colony, the mist recedes and dissapears from sight. OOC: I am not back, but as I said I may pop back every once and a while to add some flavor and stuff for the game. Continue and have fun, looks like this is getting juicy! |
| archNME08-15-03, 05:51 PM | "Zahal, fool, think not that you have power over me, or that you are more powerful then I. For you do not know my true purpose, my true self.

"Intriguing, you ask for alliance and then decline it. You ask for power and you dispel it. You saw my forces, what council did advise you that my little pets will fight side by side with your living flesh? The only purpose of my army is to kill... There is only one fool in this here realm, and he had obviously never played with a demon before. Your situation has gone from bad to suicidical. Join, and I may still grant your people quick death and high status within my ranks. Reject, and you shall merge your people's fate with the golden-dressed one's and any one else who grants them assistance. And regarding the undead, I have no control over them. They control themselves. Thanks to the efforts of my dearest one." Says Zahal while licking the blood of his scythe. And then he turns to the enemy hordes. "My pets can be blown, sent to hell and rebuked with holy fire. But how can you disintegrate a soul?! HA! TELL ME FLESHLINGS, HOW CAN YOU MURDER A SOUL?!" Zahal puts his scythe in front of him. And whispers: "Unfold your strings, my love." Hundreds, THOUSANDS, of small black lines erupt from the black blade, touching the ground and thin air. When finished, the undead been immolated and destroyed come back to unlife again. Those been struck by Zahal's scythe seem to be completely unaffected by ressurection and raising spells. OOC: Many of the undead suddenly scream, and find themselves whole again. As Kevmann has realeased positive energy of massive proportions, rasing all of the humans that were made undead by Zahals treachery (a sort of ultra-mass raise dead that targeted humans only). How can Raise undead cure the curse of vampirism?? |
| zollex508-15-03, 10:04 PM | OOC: This isn't going good-for anyone. My Reflex Save. (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Zollex#54145) Twenty-five had better be enough or I'll be VERY angry. RP: Zollex looks to the newcomers. "Tel'gothrim lokirim," [Drow snakes] he curses under his breath. [MentalMode]Our enemies grow many. Our win is becoming more and more unlikely. What shall we do?[/MM] "Zahal - there are ways to deal with those who are already dead. Your advantage will be gone soon enough." "Drow. Our siblings from the Dark. You will be cast back into the caves from which you came." |
| Silmarien Aldalome08-16-03, 09:12 AM | Many of the undead suddenly scream, and find themselves whole again. As Kevmann has realeased positive energy of massive proportions, raising all of the humans that were made undead by Zahals treachery. Upon seeing the Redemption of Men - Silmarien's Tears of Grief at the Undeath are transformed to Tears of Grace. ...Despite your Dire Evil - you Love. You cannot deny this - Men Live - by your Grace. Abomination though thou Art, within Thee remains the Core of Thine Human Heart. It was this Heart that Redeemed Men. This Heart knows no Abomination - but Imprisoned with your Heart is your Own Redemption. Silmarien is Radiant with Verse - for the Elves receive some ten Score Humans into their Ranks - those Redeemed by the Elven Clerics. She does not ask them to Fight. Instead, they are received with Compassion's Grace. To Zollex - Silmarien sees an Unvoiced Cry For Help from a Peredhil. As the Shadow Bolts are hurled through the airs, Silmarien turns to see Zollex - his eyes fey and bright - they stare half way into Death. Silmarien's mein is suddenly focussed, all her Will bent on Zollex. She propounds "kinsman! Shame for hiding thine wounding so from me - ah, but ever do I see thine courage as reason for this! Brave Heart!" She bursts into tears - sees the Shadow Bolts - and Incants to Zollex - as the Annihilation travels through the Airs. Healing Touch of Earth' Whole Life Thine Wounding Great and Body Rent Restore Thine Form - and Gait to Health Begone All Wounds and Heal my Friend. Zollex's wounds close - as the Assault Hits... No, Zollex, you didn't save. But, you had full hit points before it struck! To Gellion - Gellion's Gait is exhaulted - his dweomer potent and imbued with all his Life Force. Gates he opens - and out pours Aid - beings of mysterious substance. They engage the Dark Hordes - rending all in their path...The Dark Elves see this Threat. They turn their focus to you. You hear the Dark Verse shift in Cadence - and blighted nightmare in its sound. A Black Surge EXPLODES outwards towards you - and you are enveloped in Binding Blackfire. It does not threaten your body, but threatens to Lock your body in Verse Binding. OoC: Make a Will Save. DC 30 |
| Silmarien Aldalome08-16-03, 09:33 AM | G'day ArchNME - great to see you. Nice post!!! Originally posted by archNME "Intriguing, you ask for alliance and then decline it.

When finished, the undead been immolated and destroyed come back to unlife again. Those been struck by Zahal's scythe seem to be completely unaffected by ressurection and raising spells. OOC: How can Raise undead cure the curse of vampirism?? OoC: to last bit first - restore life is possible with the right combinations of dweomers in CORE Rules. Even "curse of the vampire". Especially because our cohort of Allies are either Mythal Casters or equivalent or ultra high level clerics who can act in Concert. And Kevmann has Enourmous Will as the Dark Lord. There are few entities (alone - unassisted and certainly not a vampire like one) who can withstand his Will. He has a 30 Will. Your Vampire cannot withstand this - not to mention that he is part of the Shadow Weave (which, BTW, puts him as an adversary to Shar - Shar has a "Karsus-Like" competitor here). In a one-on-one with Vampire-Madam - she's gunna give way to him. But - The Drow are another matter - the DM suggests strongly that you speak with them at this point. ;) You are not alone. ....our Dark Verse is as potent as Shadow Weave itself.... Cheers - Silmarien |
| Gellion08-16-03, 04:40 PM | Ummmmmm...Sil, the dice roller still isnt working for me, when i try to get the results it says that the page canjnot be displayed.:sad: Well i am a 40th level caster, which means my will save must be pretty high.:) Here is some improv. Gellion shrugs off the dark forces that are trying to bind him. |
| Tigernach08-18-03, 05:51 AM | Ooc: hi all! back from my jaunt and ready in action. Got to get myself versed in the dice roller. Good to see that our resident evil dude Kevmann is back :D Tigernach glares at the abominable filth that is spewing forth into the One land. She walks over to Silmarien, smiles serenely and says "I am here." |
| Silmarien Aldalome08-18-03, 07:25 AM | OoC: Gellion - you have saved. Gellion's Save (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/addtodatabase.asp) Not sure what you is doin' incorrect. Make sure you add the "0" to "modifier" i.e. don't leave any blanks free..... :) ..the Black Imprisment strikes Gellion square on - it immolates him in Verse-fire black as pitch. He cries out in pain - and throw fists up into the air - and in a mighty shout, shatters the Prison. Gellion's eyes shine - he focuses on the Enemy... OoC: Your move my friend - GET 'EM!!! Turns to Tigernach: Silmarien sees Tigernach's mein, and sees an indomitable determination - her eyes, Sea-Grey, stare penetratingly at the Enemy - . Silmarien calls out "Tigernach! Tigernach! Mighty Cleric of Arda! None can withstand thine Holy Aspect - DESTROY UNDEAD! Repel them! Rend them - attack the Dark Elves! They are summoning Dark Verse - their song strengthens...I sense a Dark Mythal is being brought forth - we have but 10 minutes, ere they succeed....THEY MUST BE STOPPED!!! |
| Dark Elven Shadow Master08-18-03, 08:18 AM | The Shadow Verse Master - Vercul - stands at the head of the Drow. He is tall for an Elf - nigh 6 feet in height, his silver white hair distinct in the night airs. He carries a Staff - as Dark as Night - a Black Staff - runed in Evil sygils. Vercul focuses - communing with Shar - the Staff suddenly explodes into Shadow Magic. The Dark Elves Enjoin. Their Verse laced with greed and vengeance. In pluripotency their horror - a distortion and a sickness. They look outwards - to you - and see you - picking you out from the Allies - all the Heroes targeted. The Drow Eyes stare straight at you *You hear a mental verse* *And see Drow Eyes Staring at you* The Land's Great Heroes Our Eyes can See You We Are the Shadow Verse We Come to Find You Your Lands our Naming Your Hearts we See You It is the first Stanza of a Song of Abomination. Though only just beginning, The Heroes feel its merciless cadences. Shadow Fire erupts from the earth, in random places - amidst the Blue Electricities that have not abaded since they began after the Great Explosion. What do you do? |
| Gellion08-18-03, 03:46 PM | Gellion orders even more creatures to come forth from the gates. He then orders them to flank the enemy forces. |
| Demon Lightfoot08-19-03, 05:43 AM | ''I have little desire to slay those belonging to my Lifemate's People.'' Lightfoot's voice carries more than a hint of steel. ''I am, however, fully prepared to exterminate those who will not throw down their arms in surrender and turn from the Path set for them by the Demon-Queen of Spiders.'' He shifts position slightly. ''What say you? By Titania, by Oberon, by Corellon and the Seldarine, what say you? Will you yield, and this avoid, or doomed by opposition, be thus destroyed?'' |
| Dark Elven Shadow Master08-21-03, 02:16 AM | Vercul hears the shout of Demon Lightfoot - and experience an inner surge of hatred. His eyes flare with Black Dweomer - and it drips with the Vitriol of his Hatred. He looks straight at YOU - Demon - and a ghoulish grin spreads across his face - the shadowy smile of pleasure at another's suffering - The Shadow Smile - and filled with all the abuse in Vercul's inner being. He holds his staff forth - and momentarily suspends the Shadow Mythal Verse - he laughs as he then points the staff heel at YOU. There is an eruption of Shadow Fire - it is fused with something - though you can't tell what, for the alien nature of Shadow Verse - a creature of Shadow is coming towards you - it has rending claws and baleful eyes - and a finger is pointing at you and nearing every moment. When it touches you, you feel a terrible pulling sensation - and a compulsion - to rescind your personal control to another. Something is trying to possess you. Make a Savings Throw. The Dark Shadow Verse resumes - the Second Stanza of Abomination. Our Hate propels through Nonspace Now We Reach into all Life and Bring Abomination's curse and defilement's wind You will not withstand the Shadow Mythal You will bend and break your Spirit Ours |
| The Gray08-21-03, 04:28 PM | The Gray, the Being of Dark and Light, watches from Its perch on the Tree as the Beast fights still toward the Shadowmaster. Drow and undead fall before it as makes its way toward the black elf, a look of calm nonchalance on its face. |
| Demon Lightfoot08-21-03, 06:29 PM | Originally posted by Dark Elven Shadow Master Make a Savings Throw. I'd love to, but I can't figure out the stupid die-roller. Also, I haven't quite finished Lightfoot (are we using 3e, 3.5 or some ghastly abomination?): I do know that he has enough HP to still be alive. Be a sport and hit him with a damage-causing spell instead, eh? :D I knew that I should have stayed a neo-Luddite. A pox on technology! (The irony of this is that Lightfoot is very Technology-friendly) |
| Silmarien Aldalome08-21-03, 08:37 PM | Silmarien sees The Gray's resolute focue - and is awed by his? its? courage. She feels a surge of warmth for this strange beast of dual-form. When the Gray happens to look back towards the Allies - she locks eyes with him momentarily - Her eyes are steely - but reveal their warmth to you too. The Gray's Life first on her mind ...The Verse-Master's STAFF! BREAK IT! It will Disrupt the Verse of Abmonition HURRAY - WE DO NOT HAVE MUCH TIME Then she sees Demon Lightfoot struggling with the Evil - and she whitens - in fear for her friend - but Silmarien's fear oft guides her to find courage - She watches Demon - to see which way the Struggle will fall - and raises Blue-Silver fire in her staff - ready to Strike Demon with it if he should fail the Test of Will. To herself she says "He is no weak-willed fool - he will prevail - ". But, she also gleans the Form of the Dweomer - and propels Mental Fortification to Demon. In an explosion of Sub-Vocal Force - and in PluriPotency - she SHOUTS into Demon's mind "DO NOT SUCCUMB! YOU MUST HOLD FOR THE LOVE OF YOUR PEOPLE AND ALSO YOURSELF. YOUR COURAGE STANDS BEFORE YOU NOW - I RADIATE IT BACK TO YOU AND STAND WITH YOU DURING YOUR TRIAL. I WILL NOT FAIL YOU DEMON LIGHTFOOT, DO NOT FAIL US....DO NOT GIVE IN - HOLD! She bursts into tears - of compassion for Demon's Struggle. And by communing with him, puts herself at risk also, but the Wills of Silmarien and Demon are each fortified in the struggle against Possession. OoC: It isn't Shadow Verse - the Dark Elves are casting from The Shadow Weave - it's a quickened Necromantic Spell - 5th level. You get +5 from Silmarien - I hope you have good wisdom, or good will Save bonus - or something protective on your character sheet. You rolled a 1!!! But, it's base of 6 with Sil's aid! You need 14 more bonuses. Demon's Save (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Demon Lightfoot#55927). Lookup the Save under Demon Lightfoot. Silmarien Saved Silmarien's Save (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Silmarien#55928) ZOLLEX! YOUR INITIATIVE! THE GRAY - SPECIFY YOUR ACTION/ATTACK OPTIONS - you HAVE ARRIVED AT THE DROW WEDGE. TIGERNACH - WHAT DO YOU DO? AND - DEEPWOOD - WE KNOW YOU'RE WATCHING! What do you do. DITTO ORCY! Missed anyone? Join In! We're expecting Frostbite Ravenheart. |
| The Gray08-22-03, 03:58 PM | The Beast recieves Silmarien's message. It seems to be given new strength from her voice and cuts even harder and faster through the drow legions. Upon reaching the Shadowmaster, the Beast lifts its great sword and swings downward in an attempt to shatter the Shadow Verse Master's staff. OOC: Sunder attempt; I'll roll damage now, and assume the staff isn't extremely aligned (though it probably is evil, so I'll add 2d6 holy damage). Attack=59; Damage=57 (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp) Hope that breaks it. EDIT: My attack was actually 63, as I'm weilding a two-handed weapon; I'm not sure what the staff's hardness would be. Shadowmaster must make an opposed attack roll, and an AoO. If I win the opposed roll, I deal damage as above minus hardness (which only affects the GS damage, not the shock or holy). |
| DeepwoodElvenArcher08-22-03, 07:02 PM | Sil, your amazing telepathy never ceases to amaze me. However, I am letting one of my players borrow my books aty the current moment, thus am rendered unable to finsih my charcater. While I know what I would do, I really can't, seeingas how he's not done. Sorry again. I'll try to finish him as soon as possible. |

From where you stand, you hear a detonation of a thunderclap - as a two-handed Sword swings through the air and collides with Shadow. Light infused with Black Pitch explodes into the approaching Dawn in huge arcs - 50 elles high, and in random bursts. As The Gray focusses on Sunder - Vercul's attempts to spare his staff from The Gray's smite. OoC: Opposed Roll Check (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Vercul#56187)=63 ! I rolled an 18 at +45!!! But, Vercul's strength is not 37! You win! As The Gray's prepares the mighty blow of the two-handed sword - Vercul - brings down the Staff onto The Gray. AoO (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Vercul#56193) Base Damage (if it hits)=11 + 15d6 (56). Fort Save to halve. You hear a great *crack* - as the Staff bends under the weight of the blow - it cracks but does not break..... Hardness=20. HP-not disclosed. Turns to Others ****ANYONE GUNNA DO SOMETHING TO HELP THE GRAY BEFORE I TAKE BADDIES INITIATIVE?**** Well Done The Gray!!!! The Elven Army sees the flash of light and sound, and The Gray battles with Vercul and the Drow Legions. They are awed by the Gray's native courage - The Gray shines amidst a sea of blackness - swinging Two-Handed Sword - fearless and exalted. The Elven legions CHEER - the two-thousand strong host - and several Paladins and Clerics see The Gray's intention, and rush to his assistance. But, they will need time to be of any use. From the Eagle's perspective, there is an amassing of Drow just outside the Rent - for they cannot use Shadow Verse inside the Rent. To the West, by several hundred elles - the legions of Elves - shining Adamantine, Mithril and and Helm - blue and Silver Shield. Near Demon Lightfoot, Silmarien strives with the Shadow of Possession - where dark twisted form strives with Allies' Will. Demon Lightfoot's soul is in jeopardy - he also strives against possession. And Silmarien bound with up with this struggle - by rendering aid to Demon. Zollex's might battle cry rings out as a SHOUT from the Allies' ranks. His eyes have a fell light in them - as he summons Dweomer. There are flashes of fire, electricity and magical force all over the battlefield. And the Eastern Sky brightens towards dawn. DEEPWOOD COMMANDS THE ELVEN ARMIES Deepwood - you don't need PHB for everything - position the Elves ...Deepwood yells commands to the Elves - they assault the Dark Forces - place them on the battlefield. |
| Silmarien Aldalome08-23-03, 02:12 AM | ...an eruption of blue-fire splits Un-space apart - a surge of magical force is propelled through the aether - and Out from the Void step two Peredhil! And then there were 17 - - They Enjoin with the other Half-Elven - - PluriPotent crescendo rises - to new levels - Rh'iel's and Corellan's Voices erupt from nowhere - and they Speak - in Unison - lilting melody of womanhood fused to masculine baritone potency - a gestalt of Vocalisation - wierd and Awe inspiring - unearthly but somehow beautiful - compelling. It touches you deeply, the empty caverns of your heart, where all your hurts of life are locked away in the Darkness of Shame. In this space - is where your vengeance simmers, and where you are at risk of forgetting your beauty. Where you hide the harms you have taken from cruelty of this World. But Rh'iel and Corellan explode into this space with Deific Love. It is the unsullied Dawn of Inspiration, where you Dance in Joy to the sound of Birth. ...BEFORE THESE GATES, YOU SEE YOUR OWN DAWN. A NEW DAY ARRIVES - LOOK! LOOK AT THE SUN'S COMING! JUST BENEATH THE HORIZON - SEE ITS POTENCY - SEE THE SUN! WHAT IS THIS CREATION THAT RISES EVERY DAY - BURNING WITH PURE LIGHT - THAT YOU SCARCELY ACKNOWLEDGE AS YOU TAKE SUSTENANCE. BARELY AWAKE YOU ARE, THOUGH YOUR EYES ARE OPEN AFTER SLEEPING. OPEN YOUR EYES *NOW* - THE SUN IS A MIRACULOUS THING. IT IS A MIRACLE OF STARDUST - WHERE ALL THE STUFF OF THE MATERIAL PLANE IS MADE - BEFORE YOUR VERY EYES AND - IN STARS. AND LOOK NOW AT YOUR FLESH - SEE YOUR HUMANOID FORMS - SEE YOUR OWN MIRACLE - NOW - FOR YOU ARE BORN OF SUNS. YOU ARE STARDUST TOO. YOU CONTAIN WITHIN YOU THE SAME ENERGY OF BURNING RADIANCE AS THE SUN ITSELF - LOCKED AWAY IN YOUR SLEEPING FORM. YOU HAVE NOT YET DISCOVERED YOUR POTENTIAL. AT THE CONFLUENCE OF DAWN AND DARKNESS - WILL PROPHETIC PURPOSE UNFOLD. YOU MUST FIND YOUR WAY TO THE DAWN - DO NOT DESPAIR - THOUGH SHAR, MYSTRA, AND ALL THE DEITIES WOULD STAND BEFORE YOU. DO NOT DESPAIR. |
| Demon Lightfoot08-23-03, 02:34 AM | Sil, based on the less-than-complete conversion of Lightfoot, he made his save, but only due to the aid of Silmarien; otherwise he'd be a possessed Zombie Lightfoot, which would be not much fun at all.:D This is, of course, only if he's actually based off of the pre-existing Lightfoot character; things might be slightly different if I make up an entirely new ''Lightfoot'' specifically for this game (RP-wise identical to the original). This is the primary reason that I've held back on posting an RP response here. Your call, Boss. Did you get my last email? |

Inside Pnatemul - verily - thou wilst bath in wealth and power so that you shall no know want - come! but - suddenly he yells as he throws his head back - shattering the Possession. Silmarien at the exact same instant, stumbles, and falls to one knee - exhausted from the mental struggle. But, then she looks up to see Demon's natural gait - unaltered, and resolute as ever - his eyes and mind are his own..... OoC: you saved PS - haven't checked my yahoo account for about a week - will go right away!!! And will look forward to it. Thanx for the prompt, and apologies for the delay.... :bow: |
| DeepwoodElvenArcher08-23-03, 08:00 PM | OOC: Well, 'm back. Twas a shame to see old Kev go...man, he was great. Anyhoo, here we go. A horn sounds from the North. An Elvish horn. From the Northern hills come the armies of Formeo Naure, marching rank upon rank upon rank. A clear voice cuts through thestill air like an elven blade through undead flesh. SPAWN OF HELL! YOU HAVE WRECKED HAVOC ON THSI WORLD FOR FAR TOO LONG! YOU SHALL BE SMITTEN! DIE ABOMINATION! You look to the spot where Deepwood had been lying eariler and he is gone. 'Tis the voice of Deepwood! He has come to aid the Allies with all the armies of the Elves! over 60,000 elves march to overthrow of the enemies of the One Land. Deepwod whispers under his breath to himself It's time to clean up this mess... He approaches the Lady Sil, and embracng her, plants a kiss upon her pure cheek. Sil, you have battled hard and faithfully. Kevmann's withdrawal is to your credit. You may retreat to your halls now if you desire. I shall take it from here. |
| Gellion08-23-03, 08:13 PM | Gellion bows to DeepWood. I may summon even more of my minions from the Far Realms if you so desire. |
| Dark Elven Shadow Master08-23-03, 10:01 PM | The Dark Elves hear the sound of the Elven Horns, and they begin to laugh, barring their teeth into leering smiles. Vercul sees Deepwood's change of identity, and picks out the real Deepwood's position. Vercul looks straight at you Deepwood - and he smirks in disgust at you. You hear a message "Greedy fool! You will prevail on this battlefield on this day - but didst thou take me and mine for a fool. You stupid elf. In your haste to rid the world of Abomination, you have emptied the Formeno Naure of nigh all its defences. Thence, and even as we speak, our Verse Masters are preparing an assault on the Elven Capital. Ere Seven Days have passed, your City will be in Ruins, and we shall have the Two Trees. And maybe we shall even ruin your armies here - with your aid!" There is a surge of Dweomer - and A Shadow propels itself to you. Make a Will Save. |
| Silmarien Aldalome08-23-03, 10:42 PM | Silmarien sees the Elven Armies - and feels pride and joy - Deepwood Commands a mighty host! But, Silmarien turns to Deepwood, and speaks to Deepwood's kiss on cheek...."Deepwood - ward! I have a spouse!" Then, she speaks to Deepwood's suggestion to depart and says "And what of this 'you may retire to your halls' business. Great Elf! How you insult me. You would have me abandon my friends - and skulk in servitude to darkness by leaving you all to perish alone!" I WILL NOT! There is an eruption from Silmarien's Staff - Blue Dweomer surges skywards and brightens the face of Deepwood and those nearby. She looks straight at *you* Deepwood - Silmarien's mein is unfaltering, her eyes resolute, steely, and also filled with tears infused with Blue Fire of Verse-Song. "You do not yet know your own purpose Deepwood. You are yet untested. You are a wielder of Silverfire - know you anything of this Lore? Speak! Ere you can wield Silverfire, you must trust your friends with your unspoken hurts. Your friends must help you heal mistrust, anger, vengeance, and all the sundered aspects of your psyche. Your friends stand beside you now, and would support your Healing. No insult cannot be healed - but you must speak the harm ere it can be mended. This is the Law of Nature. You must heal hate. Who do you hate?" Then Silmarien hears Vercul's Prophesy - and she bursts into unrestrained tears - azure and silver explodes as water touches Peredhil Verse. The Formeno Naure - it is assaulted. I fear the worst Deepwood. She turns to the Allies - "We - all of us - Command the Battle of The Dawn - the Dagor órë. The First Battle of the Seventh Age of The One Land. Know that as we ruin lives here at Pnatemul - that the Elves of Formeno Naure are in danger." OoC: Deepwood - it is likely that many Elves reside at Formeno Naure. 60,000 is probably more than I would have thought. But, I won't downsize the Elven Army - instead, expect to come across scarier and bigger foes! Enjoy! |
| zollex508-23-03, 11:13 PM | "I will go to defend Formeno Naure," Zollex says. "But I will need a little help. I am begining to run out of spells. I can teleport us there, but we must hurry. The war has been taken to our homes. It must not stay there." Zollex turns to the enemy forces. "You have skill, but it will nat last. Evil cannot rule. There will always be those who dream of freedom. We will defeat you, regardless of the methods we must use. HEED MY VOICE! YOU WILL FAIL! GOOD WILL PREVAIL! WE TO HOLD GREAT POWER! A great light engulfs Zollex. It grows until it is blinding. It isn't too bad for the allies, but on evil people/creatures/things it is devistating. OOC: Only a minor blinding effect. Probably doesn't affect the leaders, but will throw of some of the troops for a while. |

| Demon Lightfoot08-23-03, 11:33 PM | Lightfoot's darker essential self snarls its way to the Light through the attempted possession, then submerges, allowing his light nature to resurface and take control, but not before a savage untamed ululation bursts forth from his lips, shaking even some of the Dark Elves to the very core of their beings. The wildness fades from his eyes, leaving but a trace of feral fierceness illuminating his features. "Lady Silmarien, I give you my...thanks. " (This last word comes as if from one unaccustomed to its usage)"Without your Light to guide me back, I know that the Darkness would have claimed me again. Any boon that I may grant is yours." He turns to face the Dark Elves resolutely. "So that is how you would have it; this answer I had expected, yet held out hopes that wisdom would come to some of your number." His head bows slightly. "I am sorry it has come to this." Tempest of darkness Looming fierce in the chill night He said: fiat lux! Lightfoot fuses protection from evil with sunburst, creating a new and devistating effect, an explosive flare of purest sunlight that only affects evil creatures and hurls it to detonate above the dark elf lines. I see that I'm not alone in this idea. I should post faster. :D |
| Gellion08-23-03, 11:34 PM | Gellion orders several of his minions to grapple Dark Elven Shadow Master. He watches as their tentacles wrap around his body. |

I honour the Giver by Accepting the Gift - :bow: Ever thine fidelity incurs fidelity in mirror image. For without the one, there cannot be the other. Only in hatred do we ever forget this. Lightfoot fuses protection from evil with sunburst, creating a new and devistating effect, an explosive flare of purest sunlight that only affects evil creatures and hurls it to detonate above the dark elf lines. Vercul's ranks suddenly scream in the bliding horror of daylight. As if that is not anathema to their purpose - for even greater a horror - the holy propulsion of light+holy energy. The concentration of the Dark Elves wavers... Concentration Check - he has a 25% chance of losing control of the Dark Mythal - a 0-5 will disrut the Verse of Abomination. Vercul's Concentration Check (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Vercul#56417) The Shadow Verse falters - but the verse re-coalesces..... The Drow attempt to Dispel Magic - and create Darkness both innate ability of Shadow Verse Masters. Dispel Check - Vercul rolled a 20 - Around the Drow, an impenetrable Aura of Darkness suddenly appears - but many Drow, the non-mythal casters - scream in terror and throw themselves onto the ground in the face of Demon's Fusion.... From Hell it Came To Break the Ground To End the Life Of Holy Mound We Hate the Light We Hate the Elves To Hell with All We Rend and Break The Third Verse of Abomination.... But, Gellion's forces suddenly explode into the frey - their tentacles reaching for Vercul and the Verse Masters. OoC: AoO (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Gellion#56419) for Vercul - if he hits, Grapple must resume next round..... GELLION DUDE - What's their AC - I rolled a 10 unmodified......? Sil |
| archNME08-24-03, 03:16 AM | Zahal grins as the shadow master and the elven queen exchange of attacks, his minions had died and reconstructed more than 20 times in the past few hours. The constant verse of both sides either weaken or strengthen his army. He trully knows that while he hold his dearest, his scythe, nothing can be done. In the meantime he can slash any living thing that come towards him and enjoy the screams of the living while feasting on the murdered ones flesh. Demon Lighfoot shouted: Tempest of darkness Looming fierce in the chill night He said: fiat lux! The sudden burst of power, sourcing from the sun's power and from arcane protection manages once again to destroy the hoard, with the notable exception of few of the dragon-riding liches, the 'Grugnah' beasts, the machine-created golems and Rung, the small floating skull. But Zahal had disintegrated, his skin bolstered and torn apart piece by piece from this holy power. When the burst was over, nothing was left of him, even the bones had evaporated. Though one could still see the Black Scythe, Zahal's dearest, lying amidst the presumable corpse. . . . . . And once again, the blade rises, thousands of dark lines of unknown matter reach to the battlefield, each line reressurects the undead. And once again, the undead armada rise to despare the allies forces. . . . . Somewhere, beneath ground the Scythe lies upon, a sinister laughter was heard, it soon rang and echoed throughout the battlefield. The former king, Zahal, had emerged from the ground showing his true form: an unkempt, dirty golden elf wearing only tattered breeches with fiery red eyes. "Wrong move! HA!!" OOC: Can someone please explain the dicerolling system??? :confused: :confused: :confused: |
| Gellion08-24-03, 09:27 AM | Sil, their AC is 50 unmodified. Also i hope it is not too late, but because they are Psuedonatural creatures they have a True Strike ablity. So each of them would get +20 to their attack. |
| Silmarien Aldalome08-24-03, 09:39 AM | Hey there ArchNME! Welcome Back! OK - the dice thingy has caused quite some confusion - so, to help you out - here's the URL for the on-line dice roller Dice Roller (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/rolldata.asp) Also, I'll chuck it in my signature to help everyone out. Now - when you roll the dice 1. Make sure every field is filled. 2. If you make positive modifiers, make sure you put a "+" sign in there. 3. Persist trying different options if you don't get it to work and 4. lemme know if it is still all wonky. To Gellion: Quite good, high AC! Vercul is 40th level, about 20 of those are fighter, and so, i'm gunna give him a 50-50 chance to hit you and disrupt your first grapple attempt....re-rolling now.... AoO On Gellion (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Gellion#56425) 10 again - your first attempt is disrupted. OoC: DM's NOTE to everyone There are too many dice rolls for us to use all the CORE rules. To simplify, I will assign either 10%, 25%, 67%, 75%, 90% to your probabilities, based on a scenario. To stack odds in your favour, AC, Fort, Will, Reflex stuff may guide us. Turns to Deepwood: Dude - important info for you in last few posts, make sure you read closely - lemme know if you're confused. Note reference to Silverfire in particular. I'll wait another 12 hours, the cut-off for current initiative round, then - Vercul will go next. ArchNME may take an initiative - if she/he wishes too - he's lost one since last post. Enjoy Silmarien |
| DeepwoodElvenArcher08-24-03, 05:20 PM | Deepwood frowns. Indeed, he has blundered. But, there is still hope. My friends! This drow has fooled me. It is my error and is thus my falt. I ask all of you for aid, but none need give it if they do not desire. Gellion, yes, I shall have need of your assitance. Send whatever forces you can spare to my citadel, they will be needed there. Orcy, have you any soldiers that are free? WE will need all help we can get. Zollex, thank you. Your mighty spells will be needed. Sil, milady, you are correct. I do not know what magic is in my blood, nor what purpose I play. All I know is that Formeo Naure must not fall. I know naght of SIlverfire and most certainloy no not how to wield it. Forgive me, my lady, I must seem like a foolish little elfbabe.Come, we have wasted too much time in words. Will you take me and however many troops you can quickly to the my stronghold? I have few experinced wizards. most certainly not enough to teleport them all...Please, Sil, I beg for your aid! OoC:Well, you know me Sil...I'm not a spellcaster...the whole Silverfire thing is leaving me baffled...Feel free to elborate. I'm assuming I can't have my army be in two places at one, even if this is an interlace game. |
| Gellion08-24-03, 05:48 PM | Very well Deepwood. I will send some of my forces to your stronghold. Gellion makes more of his minions come forth from the gates, and telepathically tells them to go defend Deepwoods stronghold. |
| Silmarien Aldalome08-24-03, 09:12 PM | ...Deepwood - do not take shame - for ever the Enemy watches us - if your troops came not to this Battle Field - then, another more fell disaster would have befallen us. The Drow seek to un-nerve you as much as anything else. HOLD GREAT ELF! Know that the Drow fear the Elves - that is why they bestow Hatred so lavishly. Drow do not hate that which they do not fear! Know this! In Life it is the Same. Hate is kindness contaminated with fear. Always remember this - therein lies explanation for your enemies' behaviour - Ever at your Service Deepwood - but 'ere we depart - The Gray NEEDS OUR AID - He Breaks Vercul's Staff.... And to Silverfire - en-route to the Formeno Naure - I will tell a tale - shortly..... *Turns to Gellion* :bow: [b]The Beings of the Far Realms are Generous - mayhap thou Art Weaveless in thine Casting of Spells. This will manifest in the One Land - somehow.....[/i] |

| Dark Elven Shadow Master08-24-03, 11:02 PM | Vercul sees Gellion's Minions here, and there, The Gray, and suddenly, the Half-Elf, Vilyamiste in the midst of the Dark Verse. The Dark Elves cannot tackle all threats at once. And they see that Silmarien, and Demon have recovered. But, then Vercul smiles ghoulishly - the first threat - The Gray - Vercul looks straight at *you* The Gray and his red-irises reveal hatred. He says to The Gray "we will pursue you to the Ends of the Earth - though I may perish - I have relayed your form and identity to our Clerics in the Underdark. You have raised the High Priestesses Ire - they will find you no matter where you are The Gray." Then, Vercul raises his staff - and brings it down HARD onto The Gray 50-50 probability of hitting you. It Misses (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=The%20Gray#56463 ) Then, Vercul brings the Staff Down onto Vilyamiste It hits (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Vilyamiste#56464 ) There is an awful sound of bone breaking - Vilyamiste is struck by Staff Force and also by the full force of the Shadow Verse. He must will save - or be stunned (25% chance of being stunned) He saves (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Vilyamiste#56465 ) Vercul, then grabs a Shadow Stone from the folds of his robes - it glows and flows Black Pitch - Shadow Stuff. He says to Deepwood "CHOSEN OF MYSTRA! ENJOY THIS" 25% chance of HITTING DEEPWOOD It Misses (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=Deepwood#56466) And lands next to Deepwood, vomiting Abomination over the Earth - it is an expanding carpet of Shadow Stuff.... WHAT DO YOU DO WITH IT ALLIES? And DEEPWOOD - MAKE A WILL SAVE VERSUS POSSESSION see Several Posts Up. |

And, I will allow multiple grapples, but can you describe how 20 can grapple at once before I start rollin' Also, Drow have SR - and Vercul has SR.....roll an SR check my friend - you have a 50-50 chance of penetrating Vercul's Defences.

As for 20 grappling you, well just picture every tentacle they have on you. I have also have the feats Spell Penetration, Greater Spell Penetration, and Epic Spell Penetration, cant remember what epics modifier is though, i do not have the book with me. All twenty creatures grappling you get a +20 bonus to their grapple check because of their ability. The hand also gets a +10 as well as a +4 for being large. I ill see if the Dice Roller works for me. I will let you know next post. |
| Gellion08-24-03, 11:28 PM | Ok the Dice Roller still isnt working for me, but i added it all up. So you will have to beat a 414 in order to avoid being Planeshifted to the Far Realms. Well, i am going to bed, i will hopefully be able to post tomorrow.:) |

OoC: Any successful AoO on a grappler disrupts a grapple for a round. There are three steps involved 1. Touch Attack (that provokes AoO). 2. Opposed Strength Check 3.

| DeepwoodElvenArcher08-25-03, 07:22 AM | OOC:Ummmm...Sil. I don't have my charcater sheet finished, but I think I can figure out my Will save. Okay, with Wisdom 20, I get a +5. A 10th level ranger gets a +3 to his Will save. As does a rouge. So, I'm at +8. Now a 10th Ninja of the Cresent Moon gets a +3 as well. And a 10th level Deepwood SNiper also gets a +3.My grand total would be +14. Looks a little low...(You should see my Reflex...) As an Elf, i get a +2 to my Will save vs. Spells of the Enchantment school. So if this is an Enchantment and +2 to my save. Here goes... Will save=31. (http://krisinchico.brinkster.net/searchroll.asp?username=DeepwoodElf#5651 5) Still looks too low...I did roll a 17. Dude, I'm getting goosebumps.. |

But, Deepwood's inner resilience asserts itself - he is no weak-willed fool - but Lord of the Elves - and Commander of 60,000 Elves of the Formeno Naure - he also hears the inner voices of fidelity. You see a corruscation of forces - you stand before the Formeno Naure - and your form is immolated in Silverfire - incandescent. You see the city's gates smashed and there is burning from inside the Citadel - Drow Legions are assaulting the City - and spell casters cannot cast spells - their Spells are Silenced. The Seven Towers of the Formeno Naure are cold and no light shines from them. But, you hurl the Silverfire into the aether - there is an explosion of Dweomer and Song - the Silverfire erupts in a vast explosion - and immolates the entire Elven Citadel. Suddenly, the Seven Towers come back to life...... The Vision Passes - and you see Zollex, Demon and Silmarien staring in concern at you. They smile when they see you are yourself....

| Frostbite_Ravenheart08-26-03, 01:23 PM | Frostbite of the Ravenheart House sets through a portal opend by the mighty-weavless caster Silm. He survays trying to get a full view of the area and the battle field. Not really knowing what in the darkests realms he is doing he runs off to find his half-elf friend. |
| Frostbite_Ravenheart08-26-03, 01:44 PM | OOC :Ok This was a guy from long ago (had a differant name) who was a cross between a bard, a druid, and a paladin. This was a guy i wrote for the heck of it and his alignment it True Good. I was gonna write a history and a story for him but i kinda got lazy. I will tell you a little about my charactor though. Hes was givin the name Halrath (hal-Reth) the windrider beacuse Frost isent a very attracted elven name. He was called the Windrider beacuse of his mighty mount from the holy planes known to have three fourms but only two have ever been seen, A strong swift horse and a very strong yet noble griffen. The Mounts name is StormDagger but the elves call him Verendor Lord of the skys . He weilds a might Greatsword with propertys obviously tied to air, cold, water and ice but also it is most likly akin to the holy avenger. It is rumored to be The holy Chainbreaker which was weilded by Halrath Before and it was an anti-tyrant. The Holy Chainbreaker was thought to be lost in a battle against a tyrant that Frost will not speak off. He also has three flags that appear as tatoss on his body but he can awaken the tatoo and allow it to become a might flag apon shining gold or silver. The First flag which he has from his days sailing is a Greatsword but inpalace of a blade there is a lightning bolt. The flag itself is Dark Blue. The second flag he has is a flag of vailence which he will bear most often into battle and this flag is what represents himself to non-sailors/pirates. The second and Third flags i am still working and will take suggestions but the second flage is gonna be the flag he bears in battle and is gonna stand for vailance and noblity. The third flag is gonna represent his old rebel/Tyrant-killing days. He rarly bears this flag but if he does that is like a passion of the Elderdays and it will probably be raises only in his last battle. Finnally he carries several horns and a few other items of varying powers. The horn he blows oft reminds people of the older days and of the Elves of War which was a small group of elves, half-elfs and elf-friends who were all mighty warriors and combatance. BTW i need a name for the greatsword i weild now i cant quite think of one. It used to be Frostbite way back when but that is my name now so i cant really use that...and also help of the two flags would be helpfull. |

Much of Kevman's army was spoilt by the vampires and Nazgul [:D]; I would suspect that the survivors would be less-than inclined to come back under his wing, and I don't see him rejoining his former ally anytime this millenium, so apparently the worse threat comes from the Drow at Formeno Naure rather than here at Kevmann's gate. Were it possible, I'd almost recommend taking the surviving humans away from this doomed place and dropping a chunk of rock the size of Vercul's ego on it. |

| Dark Elven Shadow Master08-27-03, 11:05 AM | Vercul see the disarray amongs the Elves and Deepwood's Despair - and they laugh. Scornful laughter - sadistic cruel mirthless laughter. It is the shadowy laughter of shame. They turn to Deepwood - Vercul sends Deepwood a Message ...in nigh 10 minutes from now, the Formeno Naure will be Broken. Even now, as you hear this - my cousin Names Abomination - and he summons the Fourth Stanza of Darkness. Your people will be slain - we will bathe in their blood. And the city's riches shall be ours. No Elf will remain unsullied. For those who do not perish shall be Corrupted. We shall see to their Eternal Damnation - and they will bow before the Dark Lord in nigh Six Sunsets. Thence shall you drink with us in Abomination. *turns to Demon* [MentalMode]....oh yes! Tell us your self-righteous story you stupid fool. Verily and anon - flawless in thine purity - no doubt that is what you tell yourself. How shall we celebrate in your Fall to Abomination.

Perhaps we should send you to your mission with heal spells for your enemies. You insult the Drow race with the Enemy's Reprieve." In front of you appears a vast shimmering black vortex. It is infused with small explosions of gold - and erupts with red fires and spews the smell of sulphur outwards. Out steps Seven female Drow. They are bejewelled and adorned with scanty clothing - that reveals their navals, the curves of their hips and cuts of their arms. They wear some tight-fitting black material, and ears are laden with earrings crafted of ghastly images. Their hair is braided into neatly arranged tresses, and their eyes burn with fell light. Each carries a Blackstaff, and on each finger glows a Ring - lurid pale red light radiates from them. Gellion's minions strike - and pass through their flesh. The Drow laugh. They clap their staffs together - and Energy erupts from them into coherent beam - upwards - and then forms an umbrella around the Drow Male Mythal Casters.... Divine Ascendence Our Power's Protection Form us Now an Inviolable Fortress Protect the Men from Elven Intrusion The umbrella is semi-transparent and it glows the same lurid red colour of their Rings......

But I sometimes do require promting...Frostbite - my humblest aplogies for the delay my friend....I've been developing Concepts and Constructs at Faerunian Boards *turns to everyone* to play out here.......I work *hard* for my campaigns. To respect you. *Back to Frostbite* OK - Summary URL Annals of the Peredhil - Year 5250 Seventh Age It over five thousand years ago, when the First Battle of the Seventh Age of the OneLand was begun at The Abominable Pnatemul. This was the Dagor Amaurëa - the Battle of the Dawn in the Ancient Elven Tongue. Ahh, how I recall the Banners of the Elven Armies, at the approaching dawn. Nigh 60,000 Elves were gathered at the Gates of Pnatemul. Their voices fell and yet melodic. For their World they fought, men, women, to save their Homeland. Their Mithril Shields and Spears shining in reflected starlight. The Elven Verse Masters mighty Incantations and Powerful Dweomers. How the Ithildin of the Shields was radiant silver in the darkness, so that each Elf was as a piercing light on the Battlefield. And Stars set on their Blue Shields,that shone into the night. And thence, turning eye towards the Black Gate, - the Undead - everywhere - a certain horror to all the Living. Vampires, Zombies - all manner of Abomination. Also gathered at the Gates - The Drow - casters of Dark Elven Magic - and who threaten the Allies with all things vengeaful and cruel. Their greed and hatred unmeasurable, and their Fell Verse - Destruction to All. Their purpose - only to Destroy. For they hate what they once were. Several days beforehand, the Dark Lord had assailed the Half-Elven Halls - and they did steal a shard of the One Stone - the living artefact of the Elves. This Stone had long been an interdict and protected the One Land from the Dark Lords return. The Stone channels the Holy Power of the Two Trees of the Elves. One tree silver, the other gold - living, sentient Trees - Immortal - and imbued with Elvendom. Together, Stone and Trees were ward to the Dark Lord's return. Ten thousand years before the Battle of the Dawn (thus 15,000 years ago now), the great wielders of High Elven Magic did cast a mighty Mythal - to expel the Dark Lord from the OneLand. Together, Stone and Trees and the Voice of Elvendom was enough to achieve the Expulsion. Alas - the cost of Elven Wisdom. For none could have foretold what would transpire when the Great Peace of 10,000 years finally ended. For, one Kevmann, the Usurper - did assail the Half-Elven Halls, with Pit Fiend, and foul Devils. Three times they struck the Great Stone - and verily the Stone nigh perished - for a great Crack appeared in it. But the Half-Elves saved the Stoen with mighty Divination - nigh its destruction. But, when Light was restored to Peredhil Halls, and when The Usurper did flee - one of his Devils did steal one tiny shard of the One Stone. How this shard did burn Devil hands - but thence, The Usurper, Kevmann, corrupted the Shard and fused it with Evil Necromancy - and he thus created the Ring of the Elf Bane - whose lurid light is Sickness to all Elves and Half-Elves. Thus, in Desperation, Silmarien lead the Half-Elves to Pnatemul - to begin the Great Siege. And, Demon Lightfoot was there, Orcy, Deepwood with 2000 Elves, Zollex, The Gray, Gellion, and Tigernach. And - then the Abomination appeared. For Kevmann had become swollen, huge and distorted by the Ring of the Elf-bane. And, with the Corrupted Shard -the Dark Lord (expelled 10,000 year ago) Possessed Kevmann, and so, this Human became Godlike in size. But, worse - Kevmann, unforseen by the Usurper, he became Fused to the Shadow Weave - so that his Killing would result in the Ending of the Universe. All the Universe was thus in mortal peril. For, the Allies could not destroy Kevmann without destroying Everything. A paradox was cast - a "double-bind" a "damned if you do, damned if you don't", A Riddle For the Allies to Untie But, unforseen to the Darklord also - and by a Twist of Fate, when Kevmann fused Necromancy to the Shard of the OneStone, he Broke Lore and Broke Law. This Breaking was named the "Great Rending of the Weave" - and altered the Laws of the Magical Universe. It was now possible to Fuse Two Schools of Magic - any Two - and this granted new Power to the Allies. With the Power - when Kevmann confronted the Allies, Silmarien Gleaned an Isight - she learned how to Rend Shadow Weave. Thence Kevmann cast a Dark Mythal - one that was about to swallow the Universe - and destroy the OneLand - and one that would grant the Dark Lord access to The Prime Material Plane - directly, and not through Kevmann. So, at the very gates of Pnatemul - the Peredhil (half-elves) with Rh'iel's Will (our God) hurled themselves INTO the Dark Mythal, and with New Power of Magic Fusion - The Peredhil created a Rent in the Shadow Weave And All Magic of the Enemy *only* was Halted. This rent is 300 yards in diameter, and is right before the Pnatemul. It surround the Gate of the Dark Citadel. And within it, all users of Shadow Weave (the baddies only) cannot use their Fell Magic But, then the Drow Arrived - and - And at the same time, back at the Formeno Naure - The Drow assault the Elven Citadel - the very Heart of Elvendom. The City's Great Peril - the Voice of Elvendom threatened - The Song of Elvendom shaken to its foundations as The Earth Shakes..... unforseen, Frostbite Ravenheart did too, just as the Drow were casting their fell magics.... Your Servant Silmarien Frostbite! Be Welcome my friend - you may post here and at Formeno Naure all at once - but, use a second identity - either create a second account at Wizards - or post us another ID in the top left hand corner.... There are no exclusive clubs on our threads. Be Welcome Frostbite. |
| Kevmann08-30-03, 03:15 AM | OOC: Frostbite... I know I do not always post here often, but I do keep tabs on this place were Kevmann ever to need to come back... But you should know what Sil's tale does not tell (and a biased tale it is :)) is that Kevmann was just looking out for the betterment of humanity. And although the power of the dark lord so long ago was in him, the tables were turned, and it was Kevmann who was controlling what power was left in the lord. Because Kevmann had one thing that the dark lord did not, and it gave him power over the dark lord, and that was a love of humans, for which he always looks out for. Although Kevmann did do allot to the elves, he did it in self defense (or what he perceived as self defense) as they would not let the humans spread, and live elsewere that they would not be constantly attacked by the elves and orcs. The valley they were in was becoming overcrowded with the refugees of the other worlds, people who had lived under repression and slavery, to a new world were they could live free. Kevmann saw that the elves were resisting the humans, so he struck back for the good of humanity. The humans love Kevmann, and why wouldn't they when he is the one who brought them here out of their repressive old lives into one of glory and riches, a world full of raw materials and equal opportunity. I did not say that Kevmann was free of blame, but there is another side to this story, and the elves are not free of blame either. Good work guys, this makes for a very interesting read! |
| Silmarien Aldalome08-30-03, 01:13 PM | Kevmann - it's never too late to make Kevman into something you wish. Sil never touched how you handled the humans - ever - and she knew you loved them - and would never harm them. That's why she cried so much! She knows Kevmann is conflicted within, and that his Heart Retains Love - the Hope for his Redemption. And she always swore to never take blade against the humans in battle. And - she was working *very* hard with Kevmann to allow them access to the OneLand - the humans were welcomed by Sil. But, the god you chose is of treachery, deception and betrayal. While Kevmann Wills well for Humans - it stops there. He is Lawful Evil and has the Elf-Bane and hates Elves. ...But, it's never too late to make Kevmann into something you wish....ANYTHING Transformation of Character is the Way of the Universe - Kevmann is as free as you wish him to be. There are plenty of Enemies to come yet - Kevmann's role may or may not be with them - thats up to you. The Lawful Evil thing though..... :) ....Kevmann - your Heart Radiates Love through the Weave to the Allies. We can hear your call. It is the Untainted Voice which arrives to Us through the Weave. The Abomination radiates through the Shadow Weave. We do heed that. And, Your Voice has grown Louder in the Weave. Your Heart Sings to the Elves in this Moment. Do you love them? There is a sudden pause on the Battle Field. The Weave ripples with Destiny. The Dark Lord is poised on a Precipice. On one side is the Abyss of Abomination, where The Dark Lord radiates his hatred at Life and where he wields the Ring of the Elf Bane. on the other side, Kevmann's Human Heart Sings in desperate Hope back to the Weave. His Human Heart - the Untainted Core Reaches to Life. He wants to be Free. The Elves stand still. A hush falls on the Battle Field - 60,000 Elves Commune with Corellan's Love *and they See that Kevmann's can Hear them - is with them - for One Moment* *The Elves Radiate an Ancient Song of Grace Back into the Weave* Kevmann Hears When One Who Falls - Does Raise his Eyes And Dare to Look - in Hope's Great Hall Will Humbled Be - and Redeemed to Life Thence Life it Sings - and Blossoms Grow The Coldness Fades - and Pain Does End His Shame so Old - a Thing Long Known From Long Age Gone - and Fell Deeds Done But Shame is Healed - with Redemption's Home The Drow will not stop at Us - they want to Destroy you. For the Pnatemul Houses a Great Treasure of the Drow - that you have stolen from them - and used - to stir their Wrath - and the Wrath of their Deity. But the Drow hate Elves more than they hate you. When they are done with the Elves - they will come after you ...scratch that, if you don't want in. Or have another Wish :) The DM - and Your Servant :bow: Silmarien |
| Frostbite_Ravenheart09-03-03, 04:19 PM | Frostbite the second, Heir to to Halreth the Windwalker son of Frostbite Ravenheart the first wanders across the fields and forest, following the song of the half-elves screaming for him in his heart. Slowly yet steadily he travels to the gate of the half-elven citadel where he hopes to find his half-elf friend silm. Pledging to the guards he is one of good company he begs for the guards to lead him to silm. He is bearing a hood, hidding his heritage from those that might speak out against him. For although he may be the heir to Halreth the legendary wildwalker who was paladin-like he is also a heir to many outlaws, good and bad. He also had to depart from his (CG) outlaw band while traveling to the half-elven citdel. (i am no longer playing as The orginal Frostbite beacuse i want to be true to my past charactors, and he was a lupin which is bascially a breed of werewolves and i dont really wish to play frostbite at this momment so i am playing his heir...prehaps his 500th or behind heir for Lord Frostbite The last of the ravenhearts to live has been around for ages that would rival the elves) Lady Silm, I pledge Blade and arrow to you. I wish to help you in your cause and I applogize I could not come to your aid sooner. If you are willing I shall round up a band of two thousand to aid you armed with Blade and bow and a few with mighty magics...However i must warn you some are exiled men, some once-apon-a-time visious killers, some are elves who can put a soft heart to tears apon looking at them. Some are of the short stocked races, however they are the merriest of us all. They will defey your every command listening to only me and my now-few captains. These are the risks i warn you if you dare to fight along side with Frostbites, Feandorins Sons, men. Also I do not know how soon we are to go to war or come under attack and it would take me with the best of luck and a bit of magic a week to travel out and round two thousand men up. *Frostbite makes a fist with his left hand and puts it to his heart as in solute to silm and lays his sword with his right hand (Greatsword) to the ground* |

All the Peredhil are connected through the Weave - since the Rending - a simple task to create lines of Voice....Frostbite - and all the Peredhil feel an inner radiance and warm smiling eyes - ...ahhh Beauty! So much Beauty!!! - apology is not necessary - for there is no insult - but the Honour of the Words is well-received. I reflect the kindness back to Thee through the Weave. Your Voice is the Free Voice of your Journey. You are exactly wherever you choose to be - now and Forever. Wherever thine Will resides - then see the Weave's Life reflected back at thee. Here it is now - a Window of Life you see here. At the Formeno Naure - we battle - at the Pnatemul - we battle - with Abomination. Then the Voice assumes a focus - to Frostbite - Place yourself in all things as you will for yourself. Here, at the Formeno Naure or at the Black Gates. You Voice is Welcomed wherever I am. Silmarien is forever Friend to thee - and I will give my life to protect you. As I would for any of the Peredhil. All the Half-Elves are my great love. Would you fight here - at Pnatemul with Vilyamiste, or would you fight at the Formeno Naure - all is for you to choose. Ever Your Servant Frostbite |
| Frostbite_Ravenheart09-06-03, 10:42 AM | Lady Silm i chose to fight at Pnatemul for i wish not only to defend pnatemul but also make it my base of operations to attack our enemy. Humans i wish not to fight back at formeno for some of them might be brothers but i do wish to conquer things that should not be leaving, and those creatures who live again yet not under there free will i wish to set them free of there terrable burdon. I Wish for the most vailent yet most stealthy heros to come forth and fight with me so to make the enemy fearfull at even the sound of its name. Once, or ever, we stop being attacked or we have enough men, I will lead whoever shall follow quitly into the dark lands while you prepare your forces to wrought destruction to the gates vailently and in the open. Now if you would lend me your three swifest of your loyalst errand riders for I wish to conjur my outlaw-band and Elven warriors of old. I will command them to guard ur side flanks while the elven warriors of old will guard your back drawing camps on all the three sides and sending scouts out far and wide. (Hes used to speaking with an outlaw toung were the word "men" signifies people under your control not humans :) ) Sorry for the commandingness (uhh is that a word?) but thats a way an outlaw-leader would talk after not meeting with another being of command for quite some time that is actually not an enemy...and just to warn you my men are good yet chaotic and most of them were from the times i used to gather soilders, outlaws, commeners and heros to take down tyrants big and small so they might be a little jumpy to strong commands but they wont disobey Lady Silm for they know tales about yet and her times at formeno. |

Vilyamiste stands forth - and bows at Frostbite. He says Greatheart - this Courage you show will not be stilled - it should be honoured. Vílyamistë gestures to three of the Half-Elven - riders great and skilled - and who have roamed the lands far and wide for many years - learning about their mounts. So great their skill, that they can read every minute gesture of horse - and know the mount's Wish and Voice. Every tilt of head, swish of mane, stomp of foot. Knowledge of many hundreds of variations of horse neigh. Each eye gesture, and ear movement - a profound statement about a horse's will. Their Elven Lore the source of their love for their mounts - the bond of Rider and Horse insurmountable. The Half-Elves come forth and Bow to Frostbite. The Peredhil Verse is an Azure Fire - surrounding both horse and Rider. A profound love and sustaining force. The Half-Elves say "Command us Frostbite"[/i] |
| Frostbite_Ravenheart09-06-03, 08:02 PM | The Half-Elves say "Command us Frostbite"[/i] [/B] Frostbites smiles and tells the first rider to go to the forest of derethor (You dont mind if i make lands up right :P) to find elven allys of old. Frost tells the second rider to go to the forest of Idrelel and ask to speak to charath the outlaw. Then frost tells the last rider who looks the most vailent to go to the plains of Halreth to find the firece windriders of his anchestors. Frost gives the first two riders his tolkin then to the last ridder he gives his very unique sword, though his secondary weapon. The sword is the size of a claymore (or greatsword) and is ice-blue. Nordinresh which is an odd combination of langues but means "Chainbreaker". He also tells the last rider that if he looses the sword turn back fast as possable from the plains of Halreth for great doom would it bring to go forward. |

A Silver mount rears and sounds a mighty call - and the Half-Elf - Aeron Moireth - propels a bolt of Azure fire into the brightening sky. "To Derethor - whence Ancient Legends say is a Hidden Enclave of High Elves - who wield and Ancient Lore - seldom known or spoken of. I will return ere 1 Day and 1 Night has transpired." He incants channeling the Peredhil Verse Be Hasted Steed Great Need of Race We Must Away And Return in Grace The horse rides - and becomes a blur of motion - and vanishes in the distance in an explosion of sound - propelled beyond the horizon in an instant. Frost tells the second rider to go to the forest of Idrelel and ask to speak to charath the outlaw. "To Idrelel I ride - to seek the Outlaw - whose Voice I know not" This rider explodes in Azure and Sound - and is gone. Then frost tells the last rider who looks the most vailent to go to the plains of Halreth to find the firece windriders of his anchestors. All three riders ride without stirrup, and reign. The Horse vanishes into the horizon. You hear a call in the Aether - propelled to you through the Weave "Halreth!! Halreth!! To the Windriders!! Their kin more fierce than any in the Known World" There is a flash of blue - as the Half-Elf brandishes the Sword forth as he vanishes on the Horizon. |
| Dark Elven Shadow Master09-17-03, 09:13 AM | A portal opens in your mind's eye - where the Shadow Weave coexists alongside the Weave. The Dark Elven Verse Masters Commune with the Shadow Weave - at the Formeno Naure - and their PluriPotent Voice reverberates through the Shadow Weave - and you can hear the distortion of Sound within the sub-vocal space of your mind. They threaten your psychic defences - for their Verse is not just Annihilation hurled at the Elves who they hate, but far worse because their Verse is an assault on your identity. They speak to your inner Paradox - where your world is split in two - into "this" and "that". The exact point where you are undecided about all things. They do not speak to the Outward Face of your psyche, or to the places where you are confident, but to the Hidden Face - where torture, abandonment, pain and shame lie locked in dark boxes far away from light. In this space - where are jealousy, spite, hate, silent resentment. Shar's face appears before you - and she is smiling in greedy malice. She holds the Karstone in her hand - and she Channels its Whole Magic into the Dark-Elven Verse - strengthening the Drow's Song All Throughout Realmspace - all throughout the One Land - Abomination - the Dark Mythal Strengthens, and that you see it Here - reveals the extent of the Amplification. The Dark Elven Verse Master's Verse is Nigh Complete The Elves will Fail their Halls shall Fall See Stone Unravel and Maiden wail The Earth to Rend and Will to Break See you are Mine, your Will undone No Hope for Life that you can Bring For Shar and We are Here to Sing That Elves' time has come and Hell On Earth Is Here to Stay, Our Verse will First This Day is Ours, the Elves shall Fall See Towers Break, and Pride defiled Despite is Yours, your Hate so Great Your Wish to End all that You Make Makes us Endure, and Aids our Gait |

| Silmarien Aldalome02-09-04, 05:18 PM | Silmarien sees that the Usurper hides and cowers. Nursing wounds within his Gates. She smiles - for 'tis a good time to be wed. For at >>Peredhil Halls (http://boards1.wizards.com/showthread.php?s=&postid=2532285#post2532285) << a wedding is in preparation. Lady Silmarien and Lord Anglar are to be wed. While the Usurper nurses his malice - the Elves and Half-Elves rest and Celebrate. She turns to the quickening Dawn, and then to the Allied Forces - and says "This siege shall be long. For the Dark Lord rebuilds in silence, and creates further Abomination. But - this is no cause to prevent Celebration. We will remain vigilant at these gate..." with that she holds the Rune Staff forth - and its glyphs burn with silver incandescence. She propels a pulse of Starfire at the Gates of Pnatemul - where the Shadow Weave is Rent. There is an explosion - as Starfire (not silverfire) detonates on the black metal of the Dark Fortress......her face sets taking on an immutable aspect. She strikes the gates again *boom* and again *boom*. "Not by Rh'iel's Will shall I rescind our Vigilance - Pereldar - Enjoin. Adamantine and Starfire's Burn The Blue and Silver of Eternal Dawn See the Black Gates be Broken Through And into the Heart of Usurper's Room A singularity of Pereldar Blue-Fire is hurled at the speed of light at the Black Gates - where it detonates so that the ground shakes across the battle field. |
