EDIT: Whoops. Forgot to read this page.

Okay. Good to see that this hasn't quite imploded in my absence. I'll try and have an IC written soon-ish... after all, I owe Nioca an actual conversation.

With regards to the battle, I understand what you mean, Dikiyoba. But I'm relatively certain that we're all going to be overwhelmed in the space of about two posts... and while we all do little gradual things that build on the story, those shades will be raising another huge even number of demon troops. In any case... until the battle gets near Kirwood, Sliros will probably not be doing anything.

I keep getting the urge to try and set my next scenario in Joth. When my laptop is finished being repaired, I think I'll be experimenting with ruined walls...

Just for the record, I'm not following any of this. At all. And I'm barely paying any attention to the continuing adventures of Yumi and Serena, aka two-thirds of James' love triangle.

If MoS had had one, it would've been the same. And it was definitely the same for Avernum Reloaded. That said, I expect this one will die a UBB death somewhere around page 24.

I'm pretty sure that's because they're black shades stuck on pillar squares, making it impossible to melee them. The only way to get rid of them would be Cloud of Blades.

...oh. Sorry, Nioca. Forgot about that. I might get something done tomorrow, but if I don't, then you'll hear nothing from me until Monday. By then, I fully expect this RP to be a smoldering wreck (not as a result of my absence, mind you... just in general).

So, who's controlling Makroangkeen? FF?

Nalyd, I'll get to it at some point, just like Nioca's. It might be a three-deity meeting.

I feel the need to repeat myself.

Originally written by Ephesos:

To all, I apologize for even creating Makroangkeen at this point... it was basically meant to put in perspective our own deities' powers. Specifically, it was meant to say to Geltor that he is not and should not be the biggest evil force in Kalandha. Little did I realize that Geltor would jump on this and try to release said huge evil force, in an attempt to solidify his own position as most powerful evil force in the multiverse.
So. To review, Makroangkeen was created to show that Geltor was not the most powerful evil being in Kalandha, and that Geltor should stop trying to be the most powerful evil being in Kalandha.

This was a story-level way of saying "Safey, bring it down a notch," without having to whine via OoC.

Also to review, Safey has now merged with the being formerly designated as the most powerful evil being in Kalandha, via some odd process that I'm not even going to begin to rant about. So now Safey is yet again the most powerful evil being in Kalandha.

...which makes me wonder. Why am I even bothering anymore? Much more of this and I'll just drop this RP like a burning pile of demon droppings.

Yeah, I'm just glad that something finally shut him up. I wish it could've been something other than death, like finally realizing that the position which he held was fairly out of touch with social realities... but that's probably too much to ask for.

Safey, I'm sorry, I just assumed they were overpowered because you made them. Oh, and they all had multiple vials of the demon blood... which was just too complicated and too overpowered.

Look, if all we have to go on is ICs, then my IC said that Makroangkeen is more powerful than Geltor. Therefore, if we're going by the usual RP rules of "we at least try to respect the things that others offer", then Geltor is less powerful than Makroangkeen.

Safey, you do not get to control the most powerful evil force ever to grace Kalandha.

I still don't think Makroangkeen should even be allowed out of hell yet. And Safey, here's a few things you should understand:

1. You've only been preparing since I slighted the power of Geltor.
2. You're not willing to admit that Geltor has any weaknesses at all.
3. Geltor is one of those characters in an RP that you really hate to have to associate with, but you know that if you don't do anything to slow them down early on, you'll spend the rest of the RP cleaning up after them.

IC:

Sitting atop one of Joth's spires, Sliros watched as the stones slowly reassembled themselves. Working like this, the district would soon be restored to at least a part of its former glory. Still, Sliros had bigger thoughts meandering across his mind. For instance, there was the whole matter of the Kalazar Empire, and whether or not he trusted Fallian's offer. There were the other gods lurking in Kirwood, including the one who carried echoes of Tuoni with him...

Also including the one calling himself James, who had suddenly appeared in front of the thinking god. He didn't seem to be actually standing on anything, but this didn't seem to bother him.

"So, you finally have to deal with one of the gods you diligently mock," James said to Sliros. It was true, Sliros held little but disdain for James. "If we were in my realm, I would've already crushed you by now. Fortunately for you, I'm not anywhere near as powerful here."

Sliros had always wondered what drove gods to stray from their worlds of origin. He guessed that in James' case, it was simply madness. In any case, he was glad that he would never have to visit James' realm... it was most likely a very confusing place. James continued.

"As a result, I could use your help. Also, you will most likely need mine, since some of the others you've made fun of are far less forgiving than I."

Sliros inwardly laughed at this. Perhaps he could finally find out exactly why James thought the world was due to end.

"I know that Geltor seeks out Makroangkeen," Sliros said. It was true, any ancient worth his salt could sense the angry stirrings of the cursed one in his netherworld prison. Fortunately, Sliros knew that even if the former threat escaped, the Gatekeeper had been a part of the pact to restrain him. "The Gatekeeper will take care of him."

James, in a rare moment of surprise, fumbled for words. "But he's certainly a threat. And you need my help to defeat him."

"This is true... I could not hope to defeat Makroangkeen alone. But as one of the ancients tasked with keeping him restrained, I hold a slight degree of power over him. So if it were necessary, I might be able to restrain him again."

"So you need my help."

"Should the foul one reach this world, yes, I will need the help of every deity I can reach. Saluc tried to turn this world into his own personal hell, but Makroangkeen will try to undo creation as he did before."

"And by undo creation you mean..."

Sliros sighed. One of the larger stones that was dutifully sliding itself back into a support pillar slipped momentarily as the god lost a bit of concentration.

"Demons such as Makroangkeen despise the world we created. They wish to undo it completely, so that they can build some twisted abomination in its place. And whichever demon unravels the fabric of this world first will likely rule the next. So they compete with one another, and very little ever gets done. Except when titans such as Makroangkeen try their clawed hands at it."

James silently waited for more explanation.

"But I am getting away from the task at hand. If Makroangkeen returns, yes, I will need your help to subdue him so that he can be imprisoned again. However, it would probably be easier to destroy Geltor first. Any demon blind enough to release Makroangkeen into this world is digging his own grave as well as ours."

James sighed. He looked bored. "Alright, fine."

"Remember one thing, though. If the time comes and I need your help, you will need to anchor yourself to Kalandha, and not the realm from which you came. You must cast off the things that attach you to that other plane, or your power will be split between the two. If you remain split, you will be of no use to me or to Kalandha."

Sliros turned the bulk of his attention back to the moving blocks of stone. "And I believe you said that you needed my help as well..."
