*looks at Odal*

You have been silent on all of this, Brother. Would you share your thoughts with us?

Nor have we heard from Argothoth, Mithyaat Vam, or Moxinomal. We do yet have some time though.

Instead of me giving DRP to O-gon for her song, I will be bestowing Luck upon it so the chances of success are greater.

That may be the most sensible thing written this turn! Rather than just devote DRP to the purpose, should we be supporting by actions within our domains? So Tarnished Sword uses his DRP to grant good luck, I'll get the whalesong to join in (you can here them halfway round the world you know!)Bhakti gets the animals etc etc . (OK I'm stuck after that!)

Maybe Hedra can get the dwarrow miners on percussion or something. Norn pluck the world-weave. AK can play the spoons of destruction. Argothoth can of course keep time, Jove get the thunder crashing. Vadhaka Mithyaat Adomorn Maeror and Melirelle I'm stuck getting a musical connection for.

Brethren, my intent is to encompass something of the domains of all of us within the Song.

For those such as Mox, who has not the power to spare towards a community effort, or those such as Norn, whose total efforts will be bent towards sealing the Chastus portal, blessings and openess towards letting the Song be heard is welcome. And the blessings of those who can send DRP will be beneficial as well, I am sure.

However...I have not the power to send this Song to every fiber of Eiran on my own. And to unify all of Eiran, I believe it will take much power. But if it is empowered enough with the help of others DRP as well, I believe no single deity or other being will be able to stand against it.

I'm putting all my DRP into it.

Mox, would you explain your intent? Will you be spending DRP's to give Luck to O-gon-cho's efforts? Or will it be a non-DRP blessing? And if a non-DRP blessing, will you be putting any DRP's to a different large-scale effort against the World Breaker?

These questions apply to all. Again, I believe a unified effort is extremely important. I intend to give DRP's to Norn for the Chastus-rift, and to O-gon-cho for the Song. But if only a few of us will be giving to either of those efforts, then perhaps my DRP's could be better used on another idea?

I know secrecy is important to some, but, if possible, it would be helpful to know what everyone is planning to do.

No Neph

My plan is to enbue the song itself with luck directly from my own DRP. That way, the chords are more in-sync, the melody is more lifting, the effects are better than what they would be. Imagine a great musician playing with a lot of luck on it's side, no sour notes, perfect pitch, just the right bit of everything to put you in that serene mood when everything just seems to go right.

Post by **Bhakti** » Sun Aug 26, 2007 11:37 pm

Yes, I see. Thank you. You are actually using DRP's on the Song, rather than on another plan. (Although perhaps in addition to, but the point is that one plan, the Song, is being supported.) I will be glad to debate the likelihood that Luck would accomplish a better Song than Music would, but at least you're supporting it.

[Neph-free zone]

Mox, it is my belief that by donating DRP to me to empower the Song, that each deity's domains will kick in in such a way from their donation without needing to be sent separately. Then the addition of non-DRP blessings, stating the purpose of the blessing, i.e., your Luck, Undine's whalesong, whatever the sending deity chooses, will only empower it further.

By donating the DRP to me to empower the Song, the Pantheon is endorsing it's own unity, going beyond the specific strength of the DRP and into the untapped potential of Eiran itself. By showing our belief in a single amplified source, the Song itself will grow stronger in unifying Eiran than any of us can imagine.

However, as Bhakti said, as long as the Song is supported we must choose that which we believe will work the best.

No Neph

Ahh yes, BUT we cannot be sure of the ways the World Breaker could possible hinder or effect the song, with me bestowing luck upon the song itself, it will take away the luck that WB has at possibly doing anything to the song. So the way I see it is, with my bestowing of Luck to the song, the better chance we have it will have to take it's fullest effect and, the less of a chance the WB (if he even SEES this coming) will have to hinder it.

He's done many of strange things amongst the Pantheon and despite the fact that we are attempting to speak without his knowledge, he's suprised us before. The Whalesong and the like is a good idea, but in my humble opinion, those who want to contribute to the songs who cannot benefit the outcome directly (i.e. Me) should place their DRP in the hands of O-gon.

*lights citroneph candle*

Yes, Mox, I agree with that reasoning. I believe your domain will have greater success making it difficult for the World Breaker to disrupt the Song than it would to make the Music more accurate.

Yes, in our last moments of life, I'm debating silly issues just for the heck of it.

Go down laughing!

(Hmmm... Then again, since I'm God of Love, perhaps my last moments should be spent just going down...)

No Neph

I will be pouring all the power loaned to me by my fellow deities into sealing the rift opened through Chastus, with a small portion of my own power put forth towards sealing the other rift and the two areas of weakness. The use of Simjen's Nails would be welcome Astavyastataa Kadna.

*NO NEPH

*bows*

I will send an army to ensure that my Favored are successful with the Nails.

Strengthened as you are, I am confident in our success sealing the Void. And if this World Breaker happens to be on the Eiran side when sealed, reduced as he will be, I will enjoy rending his essence!!

*no Nephirthos*

*emphasis mine*

Stonemaybe wrote:I expect to return to a fully fledged plan to defeat Neph that has everyone's support! So there!

Brethren, Undine has the right of it. The purpose of the Song, other than to draw upon the untapped resources of Eiran itself against Nephirthos, is to show the unity of the Pantheon in their fight against him. Right now, with two pending plans splitting our united power, it is my belief the Song needs to be put aside for this Turn.

I will continue to work on it, and encourage you all to consider empowering the Song the Turn after this, once we see the effect sealing the Chastus portal, if that is the plan we go with, has upon Nephirthos. The issue is unity. We must put a halt to our divisiveness if we are to defeat him.

Thu Aug 30, 2007 11:36 am

I do not believe we have time to be so cautious, Goddess of Dragons. Sealing the Void simply cuts The World Breaker off from his supplemental power. We must also ATTACK.

If the 'song' is the best ATTACK ... so be it. We are more than 100 DRP strong in aggregate. I think we can handle sealing the Void and the song.
