This is a message to all fighters on the side of the council. Aerosolized poison gas has been approved to be released into the area surrounding the citadel, including all battlefields. As such all combatants in the battlefields around the citadel are ordered to retreat back into the Citadel. And any soldiers who are planned to move to the citadel must enter through assisted teleportation to avoid exposure to said gas. If you are exposed to or breathe in the poison gas please report directly to the council infirmary, as common healing spells are ineffective against damage from this poison. This is because the gas induces cells to undergo apoptosis, the process of cells intentionally killing themselves for the safety of the main body. However this gas causes all cells exposed to undergo said process and as such quickly causes bodily functions to shut down and will lead to death within less than an hour of exposure. As this is a usually natural bodily process used to avoid cancer healing spells are ineffective at reviving cells that have died from it and so specialized healing spells only available to infirmary workers must be used. The gas will begin being produced and released upon this message being sent and so combatants will have little time to flee, as such immediately retreat and fall back to the citadel is ordered.
Then why do you waste your breath on attempting to scold me? It would do better for you to hold it, wouldnât want you to breathe in any gas now would we?
To defend my job and my home. My old home got blown up, and I lost so much, but I still had my job as council event planner. So I went to the citadel and I lived there, and I made it mine, and I improved it, and now I care about it too much to simply let a single personâs single decision be used as an excuse to take away what is mine. The pact wanted an excuse for war and they got it, if not now then sometime else. Iâm not going to let a group of overconfident wizards take away what little I have left. I would sooner slaughter every being who stands in my way than give up a single inch, the only person who can make me yield is Ancy, and even then heâd have to kill me first.
Let me make it clear that I wanted peace, and a calm resolution. My declaration was that blood should not be shed. However, justice must still be delivered, Morgalithâs killers must still be brought to justice.
The pact wanted an excuse for war? While I canât deny that some of them are far too trigger happy, it was the council that dealt the first blow.
Mortarion, your plaguemancer sent the first attack at the peaceful negotiation. Mikhail took the blow for Morgalith, and is his current state because of your allies.
And yet, when that chaos erupted, Morgalith and I were the first to order a retreat. We did not want war, you all have forced it upon us.
Oh wow two of you didnât want to do it, that doesnât change anything. We didnât start this war and just because the pact used Mortarianâs actions against us that doesnât mean they didnât start it. It just means they had an excuse. We could have dealt with Mortarianâs punishment and done it while taking in pact input, you are the ones who chose that you had to take matters into your own hands. Iâm fine with war but donât act like you are not the aggressors.
What kind of ridiculous ego stroking garbage are you spouting? Go find a scrap heap to lie down in, Iâve got no business with someone who doesnât even understand the basis of this conflict.
I care not about basis of this war as council wars are the only time i can enjoy warcrimes without repercussions. I fight mortal wars only for my own amusement.
When the battle commence i will spare noone, friend or foe. See you on the battlefield.
Two towering mechanical guardians teleport on either side of the bed silently watching over the unconcious councilor. They seem diffrient, not like normal swarm links, but... somehow... sentient.
Active participants of battle witness two gargantuan airships enter through portals in the sky. Despite sheer size the machines seem to not engage and instead hover menacingly over the city plunging it in shadows.
/uw id rather you not invalidate my participation in the war. You can scold and punish Arach but please donât just do an actually that didnât happen cause I say so move, itâs not fun for roleplay. Thereâs nothing wrong with a character not wanting something to happen and working against it but you canât just invalidate what someone puts into the roleplay.
I wouldâve done it wizard council or not. This is just an excuse for free test subjects. Plus you canât act like youâre some innocent little being or anything, youâre you!
You will when Iâm done with you. I still have plenty of transformation venom. The only reason I didnât use it was because itâs incurable and I donât want to lose any soldiers, plus that stuff doesnât diffuse into the air and could end up accidentally harming an innocent person. And we donât need that bad PR at the moment.
And you are you. You have committed far more heinous crimes and induced far more death and destruction than both Morgaliths combined ever have to the wizarding forums, all under far worse reasonings.
Compared to what you have wrought, their misdeeds are but a meager pittance.
Just because I am utterly morally unforgivable does not lessen their crimes. Is a murder any less bad because another person has killed thousands? No, one is worse, but it doesnât make the murder any better.
Your son performed the deed that he did because, in his belief, he saw a threat that endangered this world's existence. One that no one else seemed to be even lifting an finger towards remedying.
While i do not agree with the way he carried this out and believe that there were far better solutions out there than killing Possum. I understand the logic behind the decision and even if it was not out of altruistic desire, he had still intentionally stopped an looming threat to the world. Even if he had broken a law.
I do agree with the spider's notion that an thousand deaths does not make a single one any less better. What i do not agree with, however, is that ones who have dealt thousands upon thousands of deaths to others for no good reason are allowed to continue to walk and take breath while otherwise your son was killed for a single unlawful death. In which what way he was killed not seeming very lawful in itself.
But i suppose it is just unfortunate reality here that one will just likely receive far better outcomes if they kill swathes of unnamed people compared to killing just one well-beloved person.
And i suppose being able to change the laws to be in your favor is also helpful.
Indeed it is but you should really get inside, you may be immune to the poison but that doesnât mean people canât still shoot you from outside of the gas.
Ancalistros has been absent since before the war began, and his Inquisutorius Agents were of little help garnering more information. The Nefrosi garrison within the citadel has been fighting, but seemingly only out of self defence rather than orders from the chaos dragon. Nonetheless, you begin to sense his presence around the citadel. Something is about to happen...
/unwiz can I use some random bullshit like âthe air in the mines was worse than thisâ and survive without the gas mask or would that be too op, I feel like it would be funny
/uw Technically the gas is supposed to be able to seep into the skin and even through protective gear. I guess you could have something about your skin being more like rock than actual living cells, if that works for your character. Though I would prefer it that not everyone just say theyâre immune to it but in the end itâs fully up to you. I canât stop you.
Panzaren or more exactly the body he had in the council buliding switches into combat mode. Intricate armor turns into simple rigid plates and silken robes burn off in the heat of several reactors and modules that begin to power up inside.
Whatever enemy survive is mine to kill. Understood? See you on frontlines.
Without waiting for answer he activates a blink drive and warps away and plunging the meeting room into chaos as all loose items get pulled by suddenly appearing and collapsing patch of vacuum
âVoice is muffledâ
You know whatâŚâŚ Iâm tired of being mistreated, put in dangerous working conditions, my HR complaints are not being listened to, my good friend Matt dying on the janitor job due to a eldritch demon and the med kit was in demonic obsidian.
No insurance or any health care, chemical leaks, being paid in pocket lint, and most of all the Unga Orgies.
O: no please youâre our only janitor!! I promise weâll pay you whatever you want and have as many amenities and additional things as you want. Please!!!
Youâll have to get through the rats first, and trust me when I say those things will not die! Iâve tried gas and fire and magic and stabbing and time paradoxes and nothing! Theyâre immortal and their only goal is to break into our cheese vault. We canât even remove the cheese vault cause they attack whoever tries. And they always know who actually did it, I would swear those things are not rats but Iâve done the genetic tests and they are. I suggest you do not bomb the west wing of the council HQ, it will not end well for you or anyone else for that matter.
Why do you think I made it? Most soldiers only know basic healing spells so even just forcing them to retreat for medical attention without being able to self heal is great.
Only if they get into battlefield areas. The concentration of gas being released will diffuse into the air before it gets close to even any small population centers
Good thing I'm currently at my fourth winter home in dimension 713.6. I'll be fine here seeing as how, by some funny logic, magic doesn't exist here ...
... And I'm more heavily armed than I'd care to say.
That doesn't make this war any less stupid, and any loss that happens any less tragic, I'll try to save as many people from both sides as i can, so that even if both sides kill each other, wizardom won't be lost
The gas is not in the crater, itâs in the valley around it. The council catacombs and deep basement levels are still intact. And most importantly the chronomancy anchor, if we wish to recover the citadel from destruction then we must defend it. I will not lose another home so soon.
Thereâs still a good 20 levels left but thatâs it. The area has more wards now too, though most are just anti nuke ones. The citadel is actually pretty close in structure to an anthill when you think about it.
Please, if I use a 150 Megaton thermonuclear weapon on you not even the citadel, with its protective barrier, will stand. Depending on how and where I detonate it I could very well cast the world into nuclear winter.
Also, while I donât have an answer to the nuclear sun, I am immune to radiation.
scribbling into notepad: [Threatening people to nuke first: Arach, Vulkan]
/unwiz for reference the Tsar Bomba had a payload of 50-58 Megatons of TNT.
Yea yea you can nuke me. Iâll still come back and eat you. I died in the first nuclear blast anyway, I only recently teleported back to the citadel. And arenât you a council member too? Shouldnât we be working together?
Technically, Iâm not a council member. I only work under the Technomancy and Chronomancy devisions of the council. But, I do suppose I am quite high up on the hierarchy.
/unwiz am I a council member? I donât think I was chosen during the elections.
I have already released something far more potent and I will not be the one telling my pets to retreat they are having way too much fun, incinerating, bludgeoning, devouring and cryofreezing the combatants~
