There's no reason you shouldn't be the one. Gather your gear, I expect the dirigible will leave first thing in the morning.  <br/><br/>But here’s what you should expect, what we’ve planned for.  The method the technomancers have found to negate the mana field effects can be negated with a simple “dispel magic”, a common wizardly spell.  They put extra effort into researching a method that simple to destroy and they’ll use it if there’s any problem.  They know the risks.  Next…”  He hands her a necklace with the family crest.  “This was enchanted and it’s counterparts distributed years ago, when we first set up the warning beacon.  If you yank it off the chain, it will send the next 25 words you say to the others who wear such chains.  That includes me, the Prime Minister of Queensland, the Elven and Fairy Queens, the Dwarven King and myself.  We’ll hand copies to the fairy and elf who brought the alien here, the tech team and the commanders of the soldiers who’ll be aboard the airship, but not the alien.  They have their communication devices.  We have ours.”</div></div></div><br/>(Sorry, but I think the only thing beyond revealing the precautions the elders were taking, is that this means Cheerwind doesn't have to spend the rest of the RP flying, sometimes to other continents.)<br/><br/><br/><br/>(because your characters aren't there to see this, its a: )<br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">On board the starship, the Technomancer crew are feeling good about their work, until they hear the VreeVreeVreeVreeVree of the laser.  Kalind, the Githzerai psionic, gasps.  “The last time I felt a disturbance in life force like that, was when Gauthuron, the Huge Ancient Red Dragon who went mad, incinerated an army”.  <br/>The tech crew look at each other.  “Auril?  Evan?” , Podzevitch asks quizzically, looking at the soothsayers.  They’re in the engine room, no one hears the quietly spoken spells over the thrum of the impulse engines.  <br/>“I see burned bodies encased in glass.  But I sense no malice in the crew.” says Auril (the golden haired and tinted woman).  <br/>“I checked their thoughts.” says Kalind, massaging his temples with his eyes closed.  “They’ve incinerated about half the goblings on the beach.  But they didn’t do it out of vengence.  They killed them because they didn’t want their allies, us, to be hurt by the goblins.”<br/><br/>Evan says: “I asked an augury, “Will the strangers try to attack us or our native allies?” and the response was: “Unlikely””.<br/><br/>Podzevitch says: “Lets find a view port.  Thoughts?” and they start moving.  <br/>Evan says: “An augury asks a question of the future that can be answered with a word, of events a half hour from the time of the question.  I’d interpret “unlikely” as “only if you do something so stupid they attack.”  Then, a bunny girl questions them and Podzevitch asks for directions to a viewport.<br/>“Two lefts and a right”, she points.  “Push the button to turn it on and ask the wall speaker, a disc next to the screen, to display what you want” says the Larisian “There’s a bathroom next to it if you need it.  And thank you for your help.” she smiles and goes about her business.<br/><br/>They turn on the viewscreen and look at the carnage.  “Mmm-hm”  says Kalind.  “That’s about what happened to the army that fought Gauthuron.”<br/><br/>“I agree”, said Podzevitch.  “It’s effects are the equivalent of dragonfire, but from a weapon.  No telling how fast it recharges.”  He pulls his chin with thumb &amp; forefinger as he thinks.  “Right.  I need to talk with the captain.  We need to dispel the magic that allows the weapon to work.  You need to get back to the engine room and collect every nanogram of the technophillic alloy, and have your teleport spells ready if anything “unlikely” happens.  Auril, Evan and Kalind, keep checking their intent and motives.  I’ll send a message home.”  <br/><br/>He yanks a pendant off a necklace as they head back to the engine room and he heads toward the bridge, and says: “The ships weapon is deadly as dragonfire, we’re shutting it down and will continue negotiations before repairs.”</div></div></div><br/><br/>Thava, Cheerwind, Shyeal and bigwigs of their nations all hear Podzevitch’s voice send a message: “The ships weapon is deadly as dragonfire, we’re shutting it down and will continue negotiations before repairs.”
