Kevin's Watch

If by "fiddle" you mean "convince someone else to fiddle", then yes I am.

"Zephyr, it's vital that Bel not remain on Eiran after we leave, in case Simjen's toy should fail. The Numen suggest that you use your awesome might to toss the entire thing out of Eiran when we leave."

One rarely fails to achieve success, when appealing to Zephyr's vanity. He's like a naked emperor on parade.

I never considered what would happen if two people went for it. I suppose it could get pretty crowded in there. I'd give you some suggestions on how to get out (since its purpose has been served, as far as I'm concerned), but Simjen and Bel couldn't come to a deal, and I don't think you'd welcome the OOC information.

I offered what amounted to a full truce until the external threats were dealt with, and you refused. /shrug
It's about the most I could justify Bel offering. And it wouldn't be worth much since I doubt the ones slaughtering innocents on Noptae would have given that up and let me carry through on it.

And of course when Madadeva finishes slaughtering Mox's followers - a mop up of Bel's feels like fun for him!

Considering Bel wasn't really in a position to offer a truce, I didn't think it was really worth fighting against his intransigence for assurances I couldn't trust. Basically, you didn't have anything to offer, nor did you seem to pose a threat anymore. The best course seemed to just let it go.

(Though I was particularly pleased with the lines, "I can obliviate this transgression if you can offer a workable peace," and "I will leave you to your own devices, even if they must contend inside one of my own" )

And since your DR is higher than mine, I'd actually be kind of surprised if you didn't bust out fairly easily.
