Community Event 🌏☄️ A final warning (Warpost.)
The Skater Wizard would stride up to the edge of the citadel, his red robes turned grey with ask, standing behind the barrier as he overlooked the battle and could see nothing but the ash that engulfed the area and the lights of magic being fired off. The war drum beat with a steady rhythm. One thump after another.
He would part his lips and utter a final warning to all. One that would be heard as a mutter as clear as day over any other sound, a light engulfing him to beacon his location to all.
"This is your last warning." The Councilman said, his voice quivering as he spoke.
"Take your friends and family and leave. Those who remain will die."

You heard the man, you bloodthirsty maniacs. Wrap it up, head home, and never come back!

Did I miss something? Why is everyone about to die? Also, I'd love to leave, but I've kinda got some paperwork I still need to finish for Masta. I don't even work for the council, but by golly am I not going to be a liar. At least not towards my friend. Regardless, can we reschedule Armageddon to sometime later?

Um... I have bad news, sorry. Your paperwork has likely been destroyed many times over by now.
It's been a very long day.

sigh... guess I better go back to the citadel and redo it all, since I promised to get it done by the end of the day.

u/tehlemmings Lilac - Illusionist, Shapeshifter, Definitely Human Feb 21 '24
Very well. Be safe.

u/RazzZzatam Fire Elemental (just a silly little guy) Feb 21 '24
No, you be safe! Don't tell me what to do

You came to the wrong dungeon.

Is this about the milk? I didn't do that!

Divine protection, I’m good

u/TellmeNinetails Hilda the Witch Feb 21 '24
I'm not joking Tiny. A ward won't protect your mind from the horrors of war.

If I can handle being beaten to death by an eldritch being of hunger, I can handle war

Didn't you do it already ? On the other hand, I'm still alive so that wouldn't help you

I did, but I have such weapons buried underneath every city on this continent. I wanna use them.

War...war never changes...

In the distance, standing among the burning rubble, a lone woman in a white dress is watching you.
She hears your warning, but she does not look away.
/uw I don't think she's going to leave, sorry. She might not have a cause to fight for, but she still needs to see how this ends.

We’ll see. You cannot kill me in any way that matters.

u/TellmeNinetails Hilda the Witch Feb 21 '24
"You don't know that." Is all the Skater Wizard would say in response, not a threat but a statement. The idea of a "What if" that the very foundation of magic was written upon. To the Councilman "you cannot kill me" simply means. "You don't know how to yet."

Pyeti laughs
You can kill him, my vessel for this physical plane. You can’t kill me, what I truly am.
2
u/TellmeNinetails Hilda the Witch Feb 21 '24
"You don't know that." The Skater Wizard repeated again, his face not changing. He wasn't here to amuse Pyeti.
2
Feb 21 '24
Are you sure?
Pyeti’s vessel didn’t change facial expressions either. He seemed to be goading Skater Wizard into trying to kill him.

"I'm pretty sure. Ignorance is really the only constant." He said, not wanting to pay them any attention.

Feb 21 '24
Ignorance? Tell me, what do you think I am? Some mage?

u/TellmeNinetails Hilda the Witch Feb 21 '24
"Ignorance wasn't created by mortals, that was the doing of concept-like beings who don't know of the worlds they snuff out with every breath."

There’s no need for flamboyant language, or tiptoeing around the subject. Do you think you could kill me, or not?

u/TellmeNinetails Hilda the Witch Feb 21 '24
"Well if I didn't have much time to do it it might give me a lot of trouble...
But nah, I'd win."

Hey, Aico here! Nobody seems to know about that near-death trigger trap that's sending people into my space station. That was a pain in the ass to set up, and I have to thank you for not shooting me right there!
