An RP in the World of Avernum Reloaded in General
The Immortal BANNED Member # 4	written Sunday, April 30 2006 10:19 Profile Homepage #322 Anmiro. Bane sat at the outskirts of the city, swinging a second axe with his surgically re-attached arm. He had fifty Rakshasi at his back, most of whom were warriors. The smell of oil was unpleasant, but it would prove to be quite advantageous, or so he was advised. But he was not concerned with magics, merely the movements of his troops. He sat one hundred yards outside of the city to the south, waiting for his other two branches of seventy-five men to surround the city on the other three sides, pinning it to the mountain. Then, when he found the position of his troopers to be sufficient, he gave the signal. One of his magi covered him and his fellows in a large conflagration, instantly setting all of them ablaze. With a hearty scream, their charge began. The guards in Anmiro had heard of the Rakshasic attack in Angel's Rest. When they saw flaming axe and sword wielding attackers charging at their city from all sides, they realized what they were dealing with immediately. After the battle, the rakshasic invaders reported to Bane an unusual stench of urine among the defenders. The warriors strode forth into the city, huring spells at the shamshod ramparts and surrounding any city guards attempting to scale the mountains. Then, the Rakshasi stationed the magi around the city while the warriors poured in from the gates. The armed defenders not wanting to be incinerated outside had formed a rag-tag defense, and their archers let arrows fly. Unfortunately, none of the arrows did any significant damage, and any wounds that the archers or warriors attempted to inflict were soon sealed up by the flames licking at them. Then, the warriors managed to drive a wedge at the city's south entrance, allowing Bane to enter. Standing at seven feet and six inches, he held a significant height advantage over the other fighters. Immediately after the entrance was a collection of apartments, which Bane casually approached, axe at the ready. Then, he unleashed the strength in his cocked arm, causing the apartments to fall like an anthill, crushing whatever insects were inside. There were the shrieks of women and children as those not yet slain began wondering how they were to escape. Then, Bane swung again, and all screams stopped. Next in the path of rubble were the barracks. Bane lifted up both of his axes and lept into the air, crushing the barracks with both of his axes descending swiftly onto the roof. The soldiers could not keep their concentration during the onslaught, hearing all of the innocent women, children and elderly being slaughtered. Slowly but surely, they began to make amateurish mistakes in their onslaught of compassion: turning their heads, tripping and falling, attempting to fight back the desire to weep. All of these things made the battle progress even quicker as the human defenders were slain down to a man, quite literally so. After the battle, Bane was quite pleased to hear that no survivors made it out of the city alive. "Good... Good! Now, we move south. We will drive a wedge through this continent." ---- (I only post things in this manner because there are currently NO FACTIONS on Aizo.) Meanwhile, scattered reports from Aizo indicated a similar situation: Rakshasic armies advancing deliberately, slaughtering all forces in their path. The human forces on the continent were steadily losing to the Rakshasi as they moved southward from the tip of the continent. The Rakshasi in Aizo have purged roughly a fifth of the continent, and show no signs of slowing down. ---- N. Vantanas. Scarmiglione is sitting on an outcropping overlooking a gigantic bonfire. Standing to his right is the "Doctor," monitoring all four of the portals. Then, ten Rakshasi teleport into being in front of Scar. "State your business, soldiers," said Scarmiglione, expecting nothing more than a typical reconnaissance report. "Sir! We regret to inform you that a demonic nexus is forming to the south of us!" "Oh?" "Demons," spat the Doctor. "They are of no threat to us. What brimstone can they hurl at us which we will not devour?" "Nevermind that," said Scarmiglione. "We must still take their threat seriously." "Very well, Red Star. But what do you propose?" "I propose that we immediately send a group of magi to seal off the nexus before its formation." "That sounds reasonable, Master." "Yes... Meanwhile. Has reconnaissance gathered any information about the current status of this so-called 'Order'?" "Red Star, sir, you will find that this Order of the Krell is quite well-established, unlike the current hodge-podge assortment of groups you have established for us on the other continents." "Blast it." "But, sir, you will be relieved to hear that they have never maintained a military presence that forms any threat to us. I propose that we leave them alone, as there is--" "Leave them alone?! Preposterous! To let them exist so close to this, the center of our power, is an insult!" "Sir?" "We will crush them. My only concern is of the Guild: Have we heard of their navy?" "The Guild's pirate fleet, as you have astutely suspected, is powerful. Furthermore, the Guild itself has been investing energy into protecting its holdings on the eastern side of this continent." "The east? Of THIS continent? And it still exists? Bah! We will smash it." "With what forces, sir? The Valorim campaign appears to be a fairly messy affair, and the Aizo campaign will be a very slow undertaking. Furthermore, the Pralgad campaign's losing troops would be equivalent to killing it in the cradle-- no, the womb! And as for the Vantanas campaign, you would want us to deal with a swarm of demons, a druidic order and the Guild at the same time?" "..." "Sir, you will have to prioritize. We cannot stre--" "Requisition troops from Pralgad." "Sir?" "The original plan for Pralgad..." "You mean, you wish to utilize those bastards? Sir, for one who speaks of pride so often as yourself..." "We will use those ones in getting our work on that continent done. Send word to Pralgad that the nature of the campaign has been changed." "A wise choice, sir." "As always, Doctor." The Doctor stepped back and began consulting with his more stealthy agents, currently acting as messangers, to begin coordinating the adjustments to the Rakshasic strategy. A lot of recon work was still necessary, as the Rakshasi currently only knew vague overviews of the potency of the varying factions. This state of affairs could not last for very long. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 \| Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00

The Immortal BANNED Member # 4	written Saturday, April 29 2006 10:41 Profile Homepage #43 2.3.1 Intellectually speaking, they'd probably find themselves not affecting one anothers' arguments fairly rapidly. Physically speaking, Chomsky has enough fanboys that he is essentially invincible to any conventional weapons. Chomsky. 3.1.1 Glaurung is an incredibly intelligent dragon who manipulates consequences to his own advantage. Bahamut is a gigantic dragon king who lives on the moon and can obliterate continents with nuclear breath. At the very least, Bahamut could simply breathe over the entire planet, rendering the entirety uninhabitable, whereas Glaurung has no means of entering space. Bahamut. 3.1.2 Let's assume for sake of convenience that Bolas' ability is equivalent to Khoth's abiltiy to burn down whole libraries. Both Khoth and Bolas are elder dragons, and since Magic and Exile terms are relatively incomparable, I'll give Khoth the lead since when he's not surrounded by invincible Empire armies, he has two other dragons in his immediate proximity. Khoth knows to keep his allies closer and his enemies the hell away. 3.1.3 One is a DRAGON. The other is a CAR. Trogdor. 3.1.4 Moral of Puff: People over 18 should not do marijuana. Moral of Quox: Lewis Caroll, well over 18 years, did a great deal of marijuana. Quox wins. 3.1.5 ...Kohaku, but only because there's not much in the way of luck that can deflect a scythe flying towards your face. 3.1.6 Fin Fang Foom by far. T-Raxus can be beaten by adventurers; Fin Fang Foom requires superheroes. 3.1.7 One is a card, the other is a GOD. Seiryu by far (and probably for the win). 3.1.8 Dragonlord, if only to get its opponent out of the way. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 \| Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00

Question 2: Imbalance of Wealth in General
The Immortal BANNED Member # 4	written Friday, April 28 2006 21:04 Profile Homepage #9 quote: Many of these severely poor countries have histories of corrupt/innefective governments, I personally think that the most effective way to combat poverty would be effective governments in the suffering countries. Are you blaming the poor for not accepting our generosity? Although I think it's nice that you mention this, since it does make this US defense of not doling out national aid rather hypocritical, considering that we are directly responsible for most of the repressive regimes out there. quote: Having rich countries send money to impoverished ones is a decent short term solution, but money can't simply be siphoned off forever. Wait, didn't you just get done saying that 20% of the world controls 80% of the wealth? Given that statistic, I think we very much can distribute wealth ad infinitum. Furthermore, encouraging self-sufficiency isn't going to do it this time: After all, if your ultimate argument is, "stand on your own two feet," then doesn't that support the venture capitalists who are doing the actual resource extraction? quote: Hopefully Iraq can prove that this is possible (this is not an invitation to start discussing Iraq.) Are you kidding me? Are you literally taking a crap as you type this? Iraq is a direct contradiction to your arguments: Under Saddam, there was an "indigenous" infrastructure. Under Bremer et al, Iraq was transformed into a resource mine for western interests overnight. Our intervention has destroyed meritocracy in Iraq, not championed it. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 \| Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00

The Immortal BANNED Member # 4	written Friday, April 28 2006 11:10 Profile Homepage #36 I always thought that Tail Spin did melee damage. Anyway, the point is moot since if Shadow is actually throwing shuriken with you, then you are wasting him. Falchion-throwing is the best way to deal damage in the game without using Offering or a Gem Box. And okay, throwing rocks is deadly. Throwing these is deadlier. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 \| Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00

Left-leaning? Anyway, considering how many acrobatic contradictions Kel has had to perform in order to adhere to the democratic party's platform, the only thing protecting Kel's ass is his head. Noam. 2.2.2 For children, good always wins. For adults, good always loses. Hm... I'll go with Rainbow Brite. Hargon looks like the type to have never gotten high before, and one hit of the rainbow beam would leave him leading one-man drum circles. 2.2.3 The only way to beat Mrs. Pac-Man is to be dead, and considering that Thuryl is an atheist, he won't have much of a ghost. Mrs. Pac-Man. 2.2.4 Shadow, formerly assumed dead, appears in the darkness and kills both of them. EDIT: In fact, Ayla doesn't even have any wind spells. One Inviz Skean is enough to give Shadow the win. [ Friday, April 28, 2006 10:29: Message edited by: Butt Paladin ] -------------------- * Posts: 6936 \| Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00

The Immortal BANNED Member # 4	written Thursday, April 27 2006 17:31 Profile Homepage #24 1. Kefka. George Bush can launch nukes at you, but he can't singlehandedly slam a beam of sheer energy fueled by the gods anywhere he wishes. (Yet.) 2. I'm going to say Garzahd. Not only was Garzahd beaten with every other powerful archmage on the planet allied against him, but Rentar was beaten by a lone group of adventurers. That's it. (Of course, it's possible to get Erika to help the party, but it is still possible to beat the game without Erika's help. The same cannot be said of Garzahd.) Nevermind that the armies Garzahd placed between the party and himself were actually massively smaller than those Rentar used to fight off the party in E3. As for Deathmatch 2: 1. One is a live human being with access to fire. The other is inanimate and poses no hazard save for that of choking on its pieces. Lucien Raphael Tihon Damian "Thuryl" McMahon. 2. Marlenny. 3. I'm giving it to Kel for the age/size advantage, although honestly, Malcom could probably run away fairly well. 4. I broke my Rainbow Brite when I was 5. It was on accident, even. 5. Thuryl is obviously smoking something potent. Despite being older, all Chomsky has to do is sit in a corner while Limbaugh has a goddamned heartattack or OD's on osycontin. 6. Technically, it wasn't a tank, just a large truck. But even so, if Björk had a tank, how the hell could she adapt to Chun Li's speed? Chun Li. 7. Shadow by far. The only drawback is not being able to Ragnarok/Illumina/Genji Glove/Offering it up, but considering that you can do that with only one character, his whole "throw 99 Falchions for ~9k damage apiece" bit becomes appealing, nevermind his being able to reliably do Fire/Lightning/Water damage and his invisibility skeans. Ayla hits things. Shadow for the ultimate win. 8. One is a wizard who successfully destroyed a country but was beaten by a group of adventurers. Another is a hyper-intelligent simian who successfully destroys Townsville multiple times on a daily basis, only to get defeated by three superheroes who have literally beaten Satan multiple times. Mojo Jojo for the win. -------------------- * Posts: 6936 \| Registered: Tuesday, September 18 2001 07:00
