Ataraxy

Welcome to Val, fam! Looks like you've finally arrived to the cool kids table. I know you said you're just going with the flow, but what plans do you have? Goals? Aspirations for being on Val?

About the same way they felt about Zengi

Good to know! Depending on what Renovatio looks like by the end of this, I might just have her tried and held in Nu Martyr.

Gotchya. And just to be clear about the Glories, you can participate in the capture regardless of what Glory you want. Glory refers to specific situations regarding Lilith and/ or higher Paragons. Just participating in the attack wouldn't preclude being the one to capture Lilith. However, being the person to contain Lilith after the fact would preclude you from being the one to capture/ last hit. It's not supposed to be a super strict rule without overlap, it's just there to make sure everyone their 15 minutes of fame and has something to do.

I'm down for Tenkai to be in the final showdown group. He can even cut off an appendage. Go nuts

Ok, so basically whether IPP ends up containing Lilith or not and their activity in this thread are two things you're no longer worried about? I ask cause your answer was a bit vague and I need to know whether I can have her be contained and tried by other organizations/ countries. It sounds like you're saying yes. I'll change that then, np. Aleksei just gave me a blank check for Nu Martyr, so there haven't been any set-in-stone arrangements other than do w.e. so I'll run each step by you to make sure it's okay.

Nehalen acts as a persistent EMP setting. So any weapon or device which does not use electricity is allowed. So bring ur guns rambo

Will do Steak. Nice to meet you btw! I think you joined while I was afv Keep in mind that certain events during the thread were disputed and there were some disagreements, so the final "End All" to what happened is in the final canon summary post.

Minor Summary: After putting pressure on the Cult, the International Police Program notice that a second wave of Cult airships is approaching and strategically back off before they could get pinched. Although firepower and numbers are about equal, the IPP had long since created a tracking device for Lilith's Lagrimosan artifact and were therefore prepared for almost all situations. A spy planted in the Cult of Power is activated, crashing her airship into Lilith's and injuring a great many of the crew. Despite the Garden of Nede's unknown variables, IPP had already called out to various other organizations from around the world to help out. A handful of these groups were tasked with cutting the Cult off by arriving to Nede earlier than the Cult. So, despite managing to land on Nede, the Cult was immediately met with prepared resistance and forced off the unknown island by sheer force and numbers. Major Summary: The Cult of Power took a trip to the Garden of Nede after a months of observation and after having Ankou conquer one of the Demon Towers. Before the Cult's first wave managed to make it to the floating island, they were intercepted by a large fleet heralded by the International Police Program (IPP). Both sides, having great firepower and magic, came to something of a standstill. The Cult could not be forced away from Nede and IPP could not be forced into a retreat. Having found it more strategically sound, the Cult Commander Lilith Reiter had organized for the Cult to head to Nede in waves. The IPP interception was unknown to her, but meeting combatants wherever she journeyed was expected and Lilith was no fool. As the Cult were taking their final steps to being able to board the unknown island, a spy planted into the cult named Vetiver was activated. The Lagrimosan spy awakened and crashed her airship Lilith's. The force of the collision crumpled both airships, costing most of the crew from both ships. As an S-Class Airship, Lilith's transport would fix itself but it needed time. Lilith casually left the airship, leaving Aedos Chanaril in charge of it and made her way to the island. After Lilith left, Aedos was contacted by one of IPP's main ships where a secret deal was made between Nehalen's Ducal House Chanaril and the Global Allies. Unbeknownst to the Cult, however, was how the Global Allies had planned for Lilith making it onto the island. Upon landing Aedos, what remained of his crews, and the Cult's Paragons encountered fortified magic defenses on the islands outskirts which prevented their entry. Among those blocking the Cult from advancing were a handful of soldiers from Lagrimosa into IPP. On the other side, the Order of Force Majeure had also entered the fray to further cut off the Cult of Power's potential escapes as they could no longer force their way forward. With nothing but the path back to their Stronghold open, the path the Cult most strongly protected, the Cult of Power is forced into a strategic retreat away from Nede as the Global Alliance begins to gain the upper hand despite the First Generation Paragons and Lilith's own abilities. The screen fades to black with Paragons and Chanaril soldiers boarding their airships and heading back toward their Stronghold in Nu Martyr, Nehalen. A path is opened up by the Cult's following waves and another stalemate is found, but one that once again begins to tip precariously with the Global Allies... Will more Global Allies show up? Will the Cult survive? Next time, on Dragon Ball Z!

"Dance for me, mortals. Show me your worth." A few months ago I came to a sort of standstill with how I wanted to proceed with Lilith's path. She had become one of, if not the most powerful and infamous antagonist in Valucre. Where do you go from there? After a while of pondering, I decided that I might want to try having Lilith be captured. It would open up a whole new avenue of roleplays while also allowing me to expand on her unique species through IC means. I wasn't totally set on whether I wanted to go that route, since I had a potential other route by allowing her to fuck around in Nede, so I kind of bounced around the idea for a bit. After taking a while to think it over and sorting out my real life stuff, I've decided that I'm going to dive right into her capture. And I've got a rough script for how I want it to go down, but I am taking suggestions if someone has any ideas. Keep in mind that any plans that were previously bounced around are officially invalidated and have to be revalidated in THIS thread. The only canon events that automatically carry forward are those that will be stated in the canon summary post for the "Toto, I've got a feeling we're not in Kansas anymore." thread (I will link the post/ thread when I post it later today). Rough Script There will be two sides: The Cult of Power and The Global Allies The ending of this thread is predetermined. Lilith Reiter will be defeated and then captured. Each member of the Global Allies will be able to claim a single "glory" of her defeat. This means, for example, that you CANNOT be both the team that defeats her AND the team that holds her captive. You get ONE glory (NOTE: more glories may be given out if not enough teams sign up). Event Timeline 1. Starts at the end of the Toto thread. Quick summary of the ending: After putting pressure on the Cult, the International Police Program notice that a second wave of Cult airships is approaching and strategically back off before they could get pinched. Although firepower and numbers are about equal, the IPP had long since created a tracking device for Lilith's Lagrimosan artifact and were therefore prepared for almost all situations. Despite the Garden of Nede's unknown variables, IPP had already called out to various other organizations from around the world to help out. A handful of these groups were tasked with cutting the Cult off by arriving to Nede earlier than the Cult. So, despite managing to land on Nede, the Cult was immediately met with prepared resistance and forced off the unknown island by sheer force and numbers. - This is where we will begin - 2. The Cult of Power and the Global Allies fight back and forth on airships (and w.e.) as the Cult struggles to return back to their stronghold in Nehalen. Having prepared earlier, IPP has voided out any teleportation abilities. They way the allies have positioned makes it so that any escape except the one that goes back to their Stronghold is completely cut off. Although suspicious, the Cult figures it the IPP is simply trying to contain them. But they don't know that a character close to Lilith is actually against her. 3. The Cult arrives back into their Stronghold, only to be immediately bombarded by the Allies from both the outside and the inside. Thus ensues a massive fight that will leave hundreds of thousands dead. 4. Drawing on the power of her Renovation artifact, Lilith connects her core to Nehalen Loci, increasing her power exponentially. A team of Allies squares off against an empowered Lilith and some of her Risen Servants (Elite Cult members, basically). 5. The team is victorious (how and etc will be discussed once the team is determined, but I demand at least major injuries) and the Cult begins to scatter. The Global Allies can clean up however they like, but they will not get everyone. There are simply too many. The Marks of Lilith, however, do not disappear and they still cannot be forcefully removed by a third party. 6. Lilith is taken by the team which will be her captors. Those captors will have a deal with Aurelium Incorporated to aid in the holding of Lilith (this is an OOC requirement because it gives me IC access to her without having to play her directly). 7. The Stronghold is completely destroyed and the hunt for Cultists starts across Nehalen (and maybe the entire region/ world depending on how it goes). Questions and/ or Concerns @supernal Let me know if you still want the IPP involved or not. I assumed you did, but I can make them more / less involved depending on your position/ involvement. If you want to be a team (on your own or with others), post below and I'll add you. Don't forget to request a Glory. It is NOT first come first serve. I reserve the right to pick and choose which glories to give out to whom, but everyone will get at least one so maybe request 3-4 glories and rank them. Questions/ Concerns posted below will be added here: Form to Enter (real quick, just to give me some information) Character name + link Group name + link What glory you want Questions/ Concerns Any other comments or ideas you have Cult of Power: Global Allies:
