@Anecron: Orcus doesn't wear armor. Or at least he isn't currently. And he will simply use body flames to annihilate the dress. Leaving the only effect an eternal hatred for Anon. I'll assume that he still hides in one of the rooms, with Korug to find which one.
Also, you have just killed several brain cells of mine with the mental images from your last post. Thanks a bunch.
@Legomaster: The Wish shenanigan is perfectly fine, because:
Ultimate troll remember? It's my job to cause facedesk and increase the demand for brain bleach in this economy.
By the way, anyone else want BBQ Fire Elemental?
I can create flames that completely bypass Immunty so I can cook flame.

Sorry everyone
Yeesh, sorry it's taken me so long to post. I've been ill, so at least I have an excuse.
Also, I'm not just making up Orcus's bone-mecha for the occasion. It's an established piece of equipment, and it will allow him to meet Korug head-on, instead of sniping and running.
@Legomaster: Glad you like it. The mental image of Korug going toe-to-toe with a giant mecha made of bone seems pretty cool to me.
@JKTrickster: Take your time, it's no biggie. As for the fortress, you may be able to take control of it. After all, most machines are operated somehow(it's not self aware), so looking inside might be a good idea. Paranoia wouldn't be too happy, though.
@Anecron: I'm only replying to the important places you mentioned in your last IC post, because it's kind of pointless to post 'Insert-name-here shouts angrily at Anon before he disappears' four times in a row. Also, you have a knack for making the most epic situations seem completely silly. This is good in some cases, not so much in others. I'm trying to minimize the silliness in massive battles involving the other characters while letting you run free in your interactions with the NPCs. Puck can dish out the silliness as well as take it. I almost feel sorry for Lolth with both of you haranguing her.
Also, is Avalon still with us? You reading this, buddy? I'll send him a PM tomorrow if he still gives no sign, because he is pretty important to the plot.
I also found a cookie monster online so I had to put it in.
BTW, I'm on a sugar high!!!!
I had the red cordial
Hurray for family birthdays
Oh, I've always seen orcus as a totally hammy villain who needs to be poked fun of. So I am.
Note: My post should be read in Pinkie Pies voice (had to watch a marathon of MLP with my nephew/nieces today)
On a more serious note, I PMed Avalon earlier today, she'll hopefully reply by tomorrow. Her profile says she was on yesterday.
Also ham should be something to be embraced not ignored! bad Weasel bad.
EDIT: Might be relevant:

I might be...
I am not sure if I hate or love my niece right now. It's an odd feeling
On an unrelated note. Please pull me up if i mess with things too much. If I mess with a moment you want to be dramatic just gimme a shout in the OOc or through PM and I'll edit it.
I can... sometimes go overboard. It goes both ways too, hamming up a light-hearted moment which is why I chose an insane char like this that won't (generally) drama things up.

Well, yes, I had been hoping for a dramatic moment there. I mean, I don't mind too much, but it was still a much better scene in my head before Anon popped in.
@Anecron: You're good at funny. I nearly sprayed my drink across the computer screen when you told the Demon Queen of Spiders to 'give momma some suga'. This can be a good thing, and it can equally be a not so good thing, and I'm glad you're willing to keep it to a minimum when it comes to other players.
On a different note, I like to think that I'm good at insanity. It may have been a mistake trying to describe a Far Being, but I gave it a fairly good shot. Even an Incarnation can go insane, you know.
Oh yea, this reminds my of something you should see. You'll take at least 1d8 SAN damage from watching it, but it fits right into the Far Realms theme.
@JKTrickster: Just put it up when you have time. Every round your character takes requires quite a bit of planning, I would surmise.
:shrugs: Anon spent a year as an Elder Evil, facing down the Council/Emperor/King of the Realms (because Far Realmians can have multiple personas and bodies while still being the one being means any normal classification is useless) will be nothing for his/her sanity.
Because there is none to be affected
Also hurray for funny
Lolth deserved it though, I mean who can pass up that opportunity
or maybe thats just my demented mind.

It looks like Korug and Orcus have pretty much given up calling each other out on their flaws. Korug, at least, has a healthy amount of respect for his opponent by this point.
Messed up the damage roll, but with a natural 2 I don't think it matters.
@Anecron: If you're somehow getting important information from the Far Beings, by all means keep talking to them. They're not going to suddenly ally themselves to you, however. They're just going to gnaw on your brain.
@Legomaster: I'm really liking the fight between you and Orcus, because not only is it an epic battle by any definition, but it also has soem pretty cool RPing in it. The two of you started out with boasts about how great you were, and then slowly you've both developed hearty respect for the other. It's like you've gotten to know one another simply by fighting. It's also interesting to note that if you had allied with Orcus in the first place, it would now be Graz'zt who was talking the pounding. Anduilas has smiled on the Dark Prince, it seems.
Edit: Did you send Avalon a message, Anecron? We need him!
Also, you can post whenever, JKTrickster. Whenever you're ready...
And I am, kinda, getting good info from them. Mostly because you would be surprised what kind of things leak through when making stuff up.
Though I am leaving them.
Oh remember that for every Second anyone touches my mind they take 1Wis Damage. Being a Far Realms being doesnt really change that.

I find it kind of funny how you're saying that Orcus is no fool, followed immediately by Korug saying that he is. What's even funnier is that this is coming from KORUG, the 8-INT, 8-WIS Ogre who has to have a commander to manage his own army. Granted, if there's one thing Korug knows about, it's surviving.
Sorry about being a no show. Real life got the better of me.
I'm posting a little something so that things can get moving on my end.

@Anecron: When you have a Wisdom score of -34, taking a point of Wisdom damage doesn't really matter much to you.
@Legomaster: Foolish or no, Orcus's main failing is that he is immensely, immensely arrogant. His confidence is as bloated as that of a power gamer who just rolled a natural twenty. And it's still somewhat inconceivable to him that you would ally with the obviously inferior Graz'zt instead of The Demon Prince of The Undead.
@Avalon: It's fine, we all have real life issues that slow up our gaming time. Glad to have you back.
Also, it is really fun to describe the ToS. Seriously, I could switch the campaign so it revolved solely around the ToS and I'd have just as much fun as I am DMing the current plot.
Edit: Forgot to role for the Poison from the ToS's sting, but really, if you're not immune to poison by this level I will be amazed.
Arrogance is a mutual flaw, though Korug may not take it to quite the extent that Orcus does. Of course, Orcus has had his power a lot longer, so it sort of makes sense.

@Anecron: I only say that because it's true. A character of this level should have invested in numerous defensive abilities, and considering the deadliness of poison at epic levels I would be rather surprised if someone was affected by it. Surprised but pleased, as that would give me some neat new threats for them.
@Legomaster: Really, every character in this campaign is arrogant in some way. Humility is not a trait shared by many Gods.
Just noticed my OOC Post was eaten.
Am recreating:
huzzah for Tyr's terrible 4D Chess skillz
Oh, just to make it clear. No-one knows Truesdale is Chaos. Well, no-one still alive or able to be communicated with.
