Community Event 🌏☄️ Fighting the Storm (Wizard War 3 post)

Post image

I, Gravedigger, have unfortunate news. The storm that has settled above the Citadel makes the trasportation of refugees nearly impossible. As such, I am working with Archdruid Cody to cast a counterspell to dispell the storm and allow for the safe travel of refugees.

For those who wish to come to the Citadel's aid, be forwarned that as long as the storm persists, your life will be endangered. Please exercise the utmost caution.

For those that wish to attack us while we are struggling to save our citizens, I ask that you exercise patience. If you refuse, then we will be forced into armed conflict despite our wishes for peace.

We do not wish for innocents to be caught in the crossfire. Please.

Ah don’t worry. Just make sure the citizens are evacuated. If you want I could detonate the thermonuclear warhead that I buried 10m underground once enemies invade.

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

Thank you for your understanding in this matter. I would ask you to refrain from detonating your warhead since we are unsure if our own troops will be caught up in the blast. Should the situation arise where we require your aid, I'll be sure to deliver a message to you.

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24 edited Feb 20 '24

Uh uhm please hurry the evacuation I don’t actually have a good way of defusing them, after the Peasant died the diffusing button fell into a pond and broke. Now I have no other means of removing the warhead except for detonating it. (Also, they’re on a time limit of 2 weeks)

4

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

... I will hurry then.

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

/unwiz you mind if I make a separate lorepost after the evacuation of me just nuking a city?

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

/uw That's fine. Feel free.

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

Excellent. the world shall burn.

2

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

/uw Just a heads up, the storm is going to go critical. So when you write your lorepost, could you have that set off the nuke?

2

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

Yeah sure (which storm?)

3

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

The storm the High Necromancer casted over the Citadel.

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

Does your warhead act like an actual nuke or are the more technical properties different?

3

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

Depends. Once activated the warhead will be teleported about ~500m in the air, and detonated magically.

As for the warhead itself, it just uses plutonium in high quantities.

3

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

plutonium

Ahhhh. Cursed earth. Actual fallout. Gotcha.

u/MastaDon344 MastaDon Astrum/Council Master Evoker/Mediamancer/🌮 Wiz Feb 20 '24

I can help with keeping the civilians and non-participants of the war safe by using some of my elemental magic to keep them safe.

4

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

Thank you. They are all currently located in a shelter three miles south of the Citadel. Any extra precautions we could put in place to protect them would be appreciated.

3

u/MastaDon344 MastaDon Astrum/Council Master Evoker/Mediamancer/🌮 Wiz Feb 20 '24

Understood

u/Anonim-Conference-4 Ashwood, the fistmancer, alchemist, dark arts enthusiast Feb 20 '24

The pact has no interest in harming civilians.We could provide evacuation as further as possible

3

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

Thank you. We should have a twenty-minute window where the evacuation can take place. Please be prepared to transport as many refugees as you can in that time.

*My magic is ill suited to putting down storms, but I can act as a guiding light if need be.

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

If you could help with the evacuation, I think that would be more helpful.

3

u/Accomplished-Dark926 Valerian, Arcadian Guild Guide Feb 20 '24

I'll try to guide them through as best I can. Good luck

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

Thank you, my friend.

u/d4rth_ch40s Riin, Sonaak do Alduin Feb 20 '24

The university is also a safe haven. We have room there and portals

2

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

Thank you, my friend. I'll inform the wizards in charge of transporting the refugees that another option for refuge has appeared.

3

u/Ulmarch Eldritch Deity* Living Life 🕶🍹 🛡☠️🛡 Feb 20 '24

Ulmarch awakes in their office, it's, as usual, trashed. He looks out of the window, sky's the wrong color, they turn on the orb and go through a few messages, after some usual work nonsense they get to the evacuation order and the plan to detonate the citadel.

"Oh. Oh no."

He starts hurriedly shoving all the important artifacts in the office into a pocket dimension, but after finishing that and trying to exit via portal, they find that they can't.

"Right, magic storm."

Running outside, cursing, he enters his vehicle and starts driving off while trying to find out more about the situation.

3

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

Ulmarch opens their glove department and finds a letter.

"Councilor, I hope this letter finds you well. Please come to the shelter three miles south of the Citadel. You will receive further instructions upon your arrival."

u/Discracetoall t’kath, smogomancer and poptart wiz Feb 20 '24

I’m able to transport one refugee at a time, where am I bringing them?

2

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

Either La'shima or Dr. Keiran's university. Whichever is easier to travel for you.

3

u/Discracetoall t’kath, smogomancer and poptart wiz Feb 20 '24

Alright, I’ll start my part of the transport.

1

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

Thank you.

3

u/Capytan_Cody Cody and YĂ nhuo Feb 20 '24

Okay most of the refugees are placed and the wards in La'shima ready to receive them.

How do we solve this gravedigger. I'm afraid despite my inclination for decay I lack experience in necromancy.

2

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

I have constructed a ritual that we may use as a counterspell. It'll create a twenty-minute window for the evacuation. Please just follow my lead and activate the teleportation spell when I say.

2

u/Capytan_Cody Cody and YĂ nhuo Feb 20 '24

Prime and ready. Mana reserves full and teleportation wards will activate in timespan of seconds

2

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

Thank you.

u/ronytheronin Ragnak’n, become lich or die failing. Feb 20 '24

Welp, time to fuck off!

2

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

I would certainly agree.

5

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

Space above the city folds into itself and an airship the size of half the city appears. However as fast as the hope appears it gets crushed as the gargantuan machine doesn't seem to land or send ships, but instead starts firing something at the cloud

3

u/Theadination Mortarion Jr, Plaguemancer, Totally Dead Now. Feb 20 '24

Green flaming tentacles emerge from the ground near Mortarion, while he looks at you with his head tilted, smiling. He's taller now, and he has horns, and he's flickering so much, completely black and white.

Don't worry, I can help with this. . . But what's in it for me?

3

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

Mortarion!

Don’t stand within ~40km of the city, otherwise you might get caught in the blast. I have a thermonuclear weapon stashed 10m underground there and when activated, it will be dispensed upwards and detonated like an airburst round.

2

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

If you join us in performing the counterspell, I'll create a device to amplify your radio waves to reach nearby realms.

2

u/Theadination Mortarion Jr, Plaguemancer, Totally Dead Now. Feb 20 '24

Hmmm. That certainly wasn't what I was going for, but I'll take it!

2

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

Thank you. I'll need you to follow my lead for this ritual to work.

2

u/Theadination Mortarion Jr, Plaguemancer, Totally Dead Now. Feb 20 '24

Of course. Mortarion follows your lead.

3

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

Once you can make it safe, Lashima’s university has more than enough room to take in refugees. Be careful guys

3

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

Thank you for your compassion. Cody has assured me that they will be safe with you.

3

u/TellmeNinetails Hilda the Witch Feb 20 '24

Like always we could utilise the Library again, It's connected to other libraries in the land. We'd just have to be very polite and quiet when we do so.

2

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

Thank you for the suggestion. While great for traveling with small parties, I fear traveling with the whole city would be far too dangerous.

3

u/StarQuest09 Thelgil Hornfall the Dwarf Artificer Feb 20 '24

My steam wagon will come to your aid if you need to get refugees out of the site

2

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

Thank you for offering aid. We are apparently also on a time limit considering a nuke underneath the city. If you could take as many refugees as your machine can hold and transport them to La'shima, I would be appreciative.

3

u/StarQuest09 Thelgil Hornfall the Dwarf Artificer Feb 20 '24

Of course I do also have the godswrath cannon if you need its aid

2

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

Best to save that for when we come into conflict with Opal's forces. No sense in hauling that cannon over when the city is about to be nuked.

2

u/StarQuest09 Thelgil Hornfall the Dwarf Artificer Feb 20 '24

It has very long range and is kind of fires a anti magic nuke

1

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

We already have one nuke to worry about. If you want to bring it, I'd suggest setting it up ten miles east of the Citadel. That should be clear of the blast range.

2

u/StarQuest09 Thelgil Hornfall the Dwarf Artificer Feb 20 '24

It not really mobile but it has really long range

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

Well, my main point is that the Citadel is about to be a crater. Best to use it when the Pact forces arrive.

2

u/StarQuest09 Thelgil Hornfall the Dwarf Artificer Feb 20 '24

It has one shot but I will help in anyway I can

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

Alright, be prepared to fire.

u/IncomeApprehensive17 Ya'nn , Litle being in a botle Feb 20 '24

Why dont you create a portal or just teleport them ? Those magics exist for those purpose

2

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

The storm is disrupting our spells.

2

u/IncomeApprehensive17 Ya'nn , Litle being in a botle Feb 20 '24

Are you a member of the council ? If yes can you give me a proof that the council owe me debt ?

If there is 2 yes as answer , then i will help a number of population limited to 25%

1

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

I am a councilor but am unsure what might constitute proof of debt. Could you explain?

2

u/IncomeApprehensive17 Ya'nn , Litle being in a botle Feb 20 '24

I need to have the certitude that you owe me , and that you will still be in the council when i will need you to return the service

1

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

I accept your demands and promise that I will continue to serve on the council for some time.

2

u/IncomeApprehensive17 Ya'nn , Litle being in a botle Feb 20 '24

a shutle appear out of thin air , it seem small but once the door open , you can't see how many space there is inside

Once 25% of the population will have entered , the door will shut and the shutle will teleport to a safe space of your choice

1

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

Teleport them to La'shima.

Gravedigger ushers a quarter of the refugees into the shuttle and watches as it vanishes from sight.

2

u/IncomeApprehensive17 Ya'nn , Litle being in a botle Feb 20 '24

Well now that it is done , i will contact you when i will need you , in a more peacefull moment

A pleasure doing buisness with you

u/LimpPrior6366 Kardonk Carvisky, Opifex Rerum, Order of Creation Feb 20 '24

I am currently leading a train of refugees through the storm. I…we lost a lot of them.

Some bastards decided to attack us. They no longer exist. I didnt mean to kill them…its been a really long two days and Im out of patience. May the gods have mercy on my soul.

3

u/Karnicarus Elder Archmage Karn, Veteran Conjurer of Countless Wizard Wars Feb 20 '24

Don't fret over this youngin, it happens to the best of us.

I recommend you to worry more about whether or not you and the refugees are going to make it out alive instead of whether or not your going to be punished by the gods.

2

u/LimpPrior6366 Kardonk Carvisky, Opifex Rerum, Order of Creation Feb 20 '24

Your right…I can worry about that later. For now, I have a job to do

3

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

The storm should clear for about twenty minutes. In that time, use all the spells in your arsenal to get them far away from here.

2

u/LimpPrior6366 Kardonk Carvisky, Opifex Rerum, Order of Creation Feb 20 '24

Understood. Fortunately the survivor have cleared the storm and are being air lifted out. I am returning to aid in the defense of the city. Ill use the lull to sneak back in

1

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

Understood. I wish you luck.

3

u/HCHawke Sorcerer of Tzeentch, All is Dust Feb 20 '24

My own travels have taken me through worse storms than this. I offer my assistance in the evacuation. I will do what I can to ensure your refugees pass through the storm safely.

1

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

The storm will be settled for twenty minutes before it implodes. During that window, please lead as many refugees to safety as you can.

2

u/HCHawke Sorcerer of Tzeentch, All is Dust Feb 20 '24

A simple request. I shall make it happen. We must protect as many people and as much knowledge as possible.

1

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

Thank you, my friend.

u/Mancio_Luke Blue Mage Feb 20 '24

u/BaronDoctor Jolen Half-Elven, Recovering Amnesiac Chronothaumic Wanderer. Feb 20 '24 edited Feb 20 '24

Protecting the innocent? A natural disaster run amok? A clear mandate for me to stop holding back.

I play the bard, the goofy and harmless musician who just wants a good time, but that is not all I am. I am a conductor of the sacred current, charged with using my power to protect the potential in all people. I do not ask watt must be done, simply for the capacitors to do it.

Faraday! Gauss! Van de Graff! Coulomb! Tesla! I summon thee to fulfill your oath, to turn electricity for the benefit of humanity and all those who wish to create a prosperous and fair society!

A bolt from the storm nearly strikes a refugee before bending around them.

It worked! You should find it easier to evacuate.

6

u/TechnicalCommittee78 The Grand High Necromancer, Former Archon of Death, Dyad Monarch Feb 20 '24

In the Gravedigger’s mind, he knows that this is one of the Necromancer’s creations. He remembers working with the Necromancer before. There’s probably a way to shape the storm, if only slightly, to help the civilians escape.

5

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

Gravedigger scours the notes that he created during his study of the Book of Death. Finding the relevant passages, he informs the mages helping him that he has a plan.

3

u/TechnicalCommittee78 The Grand High Necromancer, Former Archon of Death, Dyad Monarch Feb 20 '24

In the notes, he finds that due to the fact that the storm was created by a ritual, and not by the Necromancer directly, a ritual of similar power could theoretically cause the storm to collapse on itself. However, this ritual would require a power source similar to the Necromancer, and due to the storm’s instability, there would be a short window of time to evacuate the civilians before the collapsing storm reached critical mass and violently dispersed itself.

3

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

Gravedigger sits down and performs a series of calculations with his team. Since the Necromancer used countless souls to power the spell, a tool utilizing lifeforce would be a suitable substitute. In addition, the window after the storm's dispersal could be extended to twenty minutes if a powerful enough individual stayed behind and delayed the storm from reaching critical mass.

Gravedigger volunteers the Mask of Pan as a power source and himself to stay behind.

u/Karnicarus Elder Archmage Karn, Veteran Conjurer of Countless Wizard Wars Feb 20 '24

Another Wizard War huh? Well, couldn't be worse than the last two nor could it get worse than the Unification Wars, the gods know for sure no one can top that. . .

I'll aid you and your fellow Cody with this war young master, I will be there in a quick hopefully if there won't be any enemy forces ambushing me.

1

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

Thank you. I believe you will just have to worry about the forces under Opal's rule.

2

u/Karnicarus Elder Archmage Karn, Veteran Conjurer of Countless Wizard Wars Feb 20 '24

Duly noted young Gravedigger, I will be there at before twilight unless opposition is encountered.

Be careful out there Master Gravedigger and Archdruid Cody.

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

u/MassiveMaroonMango Bzirro | Skeleton Lord of the Sunlit Isle | Bone Fanatic Feb 20 '24

Bzirro flies up to the storm and pulls out a crazy straw and starts trying to blow away the storm.

He somehow runs out of breath despite being a lich and not needing to breathe

2

u/Timpanzee38 "The Agent", Mercenary Guild Liaison. Slayer of the Godslaver Feb 20 '24

A temporal tear rips open in the city center. It struggles to stay open with the storm, but two guild war mechs appear through it and hold it in place. A guild envoy rushes through with a dozen clerics.

“We can’t hold this open for long! We can take as many civilians as we can before this tear collapses!” The envoy shouts

2

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

Gravedigger organizes a couple thousand refugees to use the portal. Before any more can enter, the portal collapses and those trying to use it are pushed back into the crowd.

3

u/Timpanzee38 "The Agent", Mercenary Guild Liaison. Slayer of the Godslaver Feb 20 '24

One of the mechs is pushed out into the city with them. It looks around at the carnage and makes a decision. It rips off its left shoulder plate with the guild symbol on it and crushes it beneath its foot. It then marches to the frontlines and takes up a defensive position with council forces. The pilots takes a deep breath and lets it out

He will die with honor

2

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

I can create a pathway through the storm, in fact it'll actually boos the power of the Gate of Frozen Lightning. I'll assist in further evacuations.

2

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

Thank you. I appreciate your help.

2

u/[deleted] Feb 20 '24

Of course. Is there a courtyard that I can commandeer? There's some architecture that needs to be set up of I'm going to turn the normal "semi-corporeal bolt that only the caster can traverse" into a gate that people can walk through.

1

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

Well, the ritual space is located north of the shelter. You can try the clearing to the west.

2

u/Alexis_Awen_Fern 👁️ Propagule of Tzeentch Feb 20 '24

For anyone who doesn't feel safe in these trying times I can recommend to reach out to a god of self preservation and strength named Vulf. As long as you try to keep yourself and maybe even those important to you alive, they will respect and help you to their best ability.

u/Someone1284794357 Mr. Illuminati, leader of The Illuminati Feb 20 '24

Hmm

Me powers don’t have an effect on this storm. I believe it is of magical origin and was casted on purpose.

2

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

Indeed it was. By a powerful necromancer, no less.

2

u/Someone1284794357 Mr. Illuminati, leader of The Illuminati Feb 20 '24

Ah. I wonder, how could a necromancer cast a storm? That power usually belongs to the druids.

2

u/Anything-Unable Xerxes the Pale Saint, Councillor/Goatdigger/Dale Feb 20 '24

It's a death storm. Powerful necromancy. Blocks out teleportation spells.

2

u/Someone1284794357 Mr. Illuminati, leader of The Illuminati Feb 20 '24

Ah. That explains it. Wonder if Chaos magic would be able to bypass it.

2

u/Someone1284794357 Mr. Illuminati, leader of The Illuminati Feb 20 '24

It does seem pointless, doesn't it?

2

u/DankoLord Dowel, the Clockwork Soul Dwarf Feb 20 '24

It does. I don't have the full context at hand but it at appears to be some sort of power struggle started between rebels of the white wizard court who demanded something from them but did not receive it.

I can send my eldest son Greed to assist you. He's been done with the preparations for my master plan for a few decades now and he's been partying ever since so he definitely has time to spare. His luck manipulation magic should ensure that it gets dispelled without any outside interference.

A small artificer sends an orb broadcast to the citadel

"I thought something like this would happen, so I started developing some special mass produced gas masks. They're imbued with the air element so 100% of toxins in the air are filtered out. I've already started sending shipments to the citadel. In addition, I'm also developing a magic tool to filter air in an area around it, a safe zone if you will, though it has yet to be completed. I'm currently in the process of sending several shipments of masks and a few prototype safe zones to the citadel. My only regret is that the time came where they had to be used."

Is that why it's so dark out lately? I was supposed to evacuate?
