How about Commanding SRD to appear and explain where the heck he's going with all this?

Is a good question when it was asked.

Somebody said for the ur-viles to turn against Foul.. Which they did.

What would I do?

Gently command that if the Earthpower can be used and help the Land. That it heal itself to where it was before Kevin Ritual and for the Land to avoid Despair.

Hmmmm, trick question. Consequences can't be pre-determined. Something with the Elohim, I think. Their arrogance is maddening.

I'm not sure but I suspect it would have something to do with Scarlett Johanson. Land be damned!
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.

LOL! That was very funny!

I would think Earthblood would go best with a slice of liver and a side of farvre beans. 8O :biggrin:

If I didn't have any white gold and I knew that Foul could not be stopped by Earthblood/Earthpower......I'd wake the Worm.
Why?
Because Findail said that Foul would also be destroyed if this happened.
Yeah, everything else would be too but just like Kevin, if I saw no hope, I'd go out with a BANG!!


(and as I spoke the world ending Word of Command I'd raise my two middle fingers symbolically at the Arch of Time just out of spite!!)

I would drink the Earthblood and then command that I become TC. Or at the very least get Hansen's.

...

And Linden.

Ask for the check, leave a decent tip, then go chew some bubble gum...or kick ass.

-What about asking for a vision, and vision ONLY of what had to be done to save the Land.

I've just been reading "First Among Sequels", the new Jasper Fforde book, and that gave me the solution.

The key is realizing that the EarthBlood is a literary device. So any Command that would destroy or neutralize the forces of evil is destined to fail...if it succeeded, then we'd run out of story halfway through the book.

But what we can do is Command Lord Foul to turn into Mr. Darcy from "Pride and Prejudice", and turn the Ravers and Croyels and Skurjes into various other characters from the same book. That's a win-win situation; the people of the Land get a respite from the endless cycles of war and destruction, and the readers can be entertained by the romantic triangle between Linden, Covenant, and Mr. Darcy for the last two volumes of the series.

Brilliant! Because, as anyone who ever read "Pride and Prejudice" knows, it goes on ... and on ... and on ....
