"Here's the thing Rhen. I believe that any cost is worth killing a true one. Yes it is true that Frilarn has been corrupted with the abyss, but the fact remains that he killed a true one. In my mind the aftermath is worth that. I admit that we still do not really know what being corrupted by the abyss results in. We don't know, for example, if Frilarn is sane or if he is insane. There's no way of telling if he has any memories of his past. I admit that it is just my opinion and you can easily disagree with it, but I still think that it is worth any amount of pain and suffering to remove a true one from existance." Matt said.
<Hmm... perhaps you are right about that. I certainly hope you are in any event. The only thing I will say is that if anyone can shatter your will, I suspect it would be Nrilgroth. And I honestly can't even venture a guess as to why he is still alive. Maybe the bullet didn't kill him and he teleported away before he could actually be killed. If that is the case then I have to say that he healed pretty quickly. I don't like it either way. It is scary to think that shooting Thlorian in the head is little more then a minor inconvienience to him...>
"Look in Frilarns head if you want to know how. He killed a true one before so he knows how to do it. As for travelling in the abyss, I think that an army could handle any of the creatures that reside there. I also doubt that Nrilgroth would personally get involved. Do you think that he would view this invading army as a threat big enough to intevene if he can easily destroy it?" Matt asked.

"As much as I respect your opinion Matt. I disagree with you. But you have the right to your opinion and I will leave it at that." said Rhen.
~If only I had my tools from the city to examine this scale better. But some things cannot be helped. Plus I don't have the chemicals to run tests either. I guess I will have to be content with my initial result and observations. Perhaps it will be enough to deduce a way to apply my theory to my mechanical limbs if it is possible to add the elemental protection these scales give to the dragons. I will just have to wait and see how things turn out.~ thought Rhen.

<Hrm... I suppose we'll just have to kill him before he has a chance to do anything of the sort. Hardly much he could do to us if he was already dead. And I find it hard to believe he simply teleported away after being shot square in the head. Hell, his body burst into flames after you shot him... and the burn it gave my paw suggests they weren't some elaborate illusion to disguise his escape. Unless of course it's possible to teleport by catching on fire or something...>
"And? We don't even know if that's possible, since whatever cost it came at has left him incapable of even basic communication," Forlirn countered, glancing back to the remains littering the chamber. "As for sending an army into the Abyss, there you're assuming that you can simply walk through the Abyss as you can here. But unlike these lands, the Abyss doesn't simply idly sit and let you walk through it; rather, it will actively attack you as if it is a living creature. Even if you could survive, you can't simply assume Nrilgroth will ignore you because your army isn't a threat. After all, I'd expect an army of playthings to be quite appealing to him when he's been locked away for longer than we can possibly comprehend."

((It turns out that the part on my phone that was supposed to be fixed didn't get fixed after all. Sorry for being so annoying... Let's just pretend that the conversations between Matt and Caelidorus are still telepathic.))
"Of course Caelidorus, we'll just kill Nrilgroth. That'll be very easy!" Matt joked. "It's almost as easy as getting Forlirn to smile. He's always in such a happy mood! And in regards to Thlorian, I never said that surviving a shot to the head made sense. But let's face it Caelidorus, dying and then returning to life with all of his memories and abilities doesn't make much sense either..."
"It must be possible since Frilarn did it. Even if it destroys your mind I think it would be worth it. Don't you think that any cost is worth defeating a true one?" Matt asked. "How could the abyss itself try to kill anything within it? It is not alive right, so it can't technically do that right? And what is Nrilgroths goal anyway? Does he want to simply rule over the worlds or simply get free of the abyss?"

((Conqueror: very well.))
<Bah, we're going to have to do it eventually if we plan on defeating him. If he were to capture one of us or something of the like, we might as well do it then while we still have a mind to fight with. But in that case we're between two options that do not make sense, which makes it quite difficult to logically determine which may be correct...>
"Regardless of if it is worth it, you can't exactly find out what works from those with experience if they've lost their minds," Forlirn replied. "Whether or not the Abyss is alive... that's difficult to say, but it acts as if it has some sort of sentience to it. Nrilgroth... Well, I don't know, since I've not exactly asked him about it. The elder always said he despised anything that wasn't the Abyss, so he wishes to make certain there is nothing but the Abyss. To put that another way, he wants to drag the worlds into the Abyss, or just destroy them outright."
((Windragon: you need much more description on the detail section for both the dragon form and whatever other forms your character has. Your magic needs more description and must be toned down, as being able to create windstorms at whim without a drawback would be powerplaying. The history needs much more detail and must include which world your character hails from/usually lives on. You'll also need to include information on the daemon half that you mentioned, which would fit in the "other" section.
If you wish to discuss the thread outside of the thread, you may message me ingame if you catch me online. I would also like to remind you that OOC, as you used in the post following your bio, is to be kept in double parentheses, such as what I am using in composing my reply.))

"Now that I come to think of it Forlirn. You said before that the void and the abyss are similar but different. Could it be possible that one might stem from the other? If that is the case then if Matt was to go throught with this plan.......couldn't there possibly be a back door to the abyss through the void? This is all just speculation of course but it might be possible couldn't it? But then again the void is as dangerous or more dangerous that the abyss. After all, I know from experience what the void is capable of. If anything would be sentient, I would say it is the void as it is raw energy and energy has to be created in some form or another. How else could the void maintain itself unless it feed on something? As I said, it is just speculation. None of us know much anything about the void. What knowledge we do have is mostly limited to what Forlirn has heard and what I have discovered. Which isn't much." said Rhen.

<I guess you are right. At some point in the near future we are no doubt going to be trying to defeat Nrilgroth. Still though, I doubt we would stand much of a chance against Nrilgroth. Even when I was gung-ho to fight the ancients, I never suggested that we could do it without an army. The same goes for Nrilgroth. Even then, if the abyss is as dangerous as Forlirn makes it out to be, then an army may not be enough. And I would normally suggest that we leave it at that since there is no way to determine whether Thlorian cannot permanently die or not. But we are not dealing with an ordinary circumstance. Thlorian is one of our most dangerous foes and it is quite possible we are not able to kill him. I hope my theory of just not actually killing him with that shot to the head is the right one though...>
"You are right Forlirn. It is too bad that Frilarn cannot speak as his knowledge would be invaluable now. I cannot help but wonder just how capable of understanding he still is. I mean, do you think he still knows you are his brother or are you just another dragon in his mind? And I also wonder if the abyss is controlled by Nrilgroth and that is why it seems to be alive. If Nrilgroth can control it then it makes sense that it would seem to be attacking you. As for Nrilgroth, I cannot help but wonder if he is truly evil or if being trapped in the abyss has simply made him that way. If I were trapped in a hostile location for thousands of years, i'd be pretty angry at everyone else for keeping me in there..." Matt said.

"Entirely possible, but I do not know," Forlirn said, blinking lightly. "I truly know next to nothing of the void and how it might relate to the Abyss, but you certainly have demonstrated its danger. It may very well be a more dangerous plane than the Abyss, considering your experimenting with it costs you your arm and wings. Had you done the same with Abyssal energy... well, instead of destroying your limbs, it would probably have warped and tainted them. However, that taint would probably have spread on its own at a faster pace than the one you're currently experiencing has."
<Might be a very small chance that we'd have any success at all when alone, but we have to remember it's a larger number than zero. Better to try and kill him and fail then to simply give up and die. How powerful he is... well, I don't know that, but he can't be unbeatable. No living being is completely impervious to everything, after all. Thlorian though... well, there's not much I can add. We truly know little more than nothing about him.>
"I truly cannot tell," Forlirn answered with a soft sigh. "The fact that he hasn't tackled or tried wrestling with anybody would suggest he does not remember, but it's also a fact that it's been centuries since we last had contact, which easily could have changed the way he normally acted. As for that... well, it may be possible that the liveliness of the Abyss is entirely Nrilgroth's doing, though it won't be very helpful since then that would mean your army would have to travel though who knows how much of what would essentially be a weapon of his. Now Nrilgroth not being innately evil... I've considered it, but I've honestly not given it a great deal of thought. I've always been told he's evil and his actions have supported that... and I really don't know how we could find out if he's not, since I wouldn't risk my life on the notion. Even if he isn't, I don't have a clue as to how we could change him."
