I will be on vacation starting next week through the first week
of August.  Hopefully I will have some net access and the turns
will continue to run on time...  Please be patient if you don't
hear from me or if something goes wrong with the turns.

The Lords of Revelstone, now in diaspora following the attack upon
their home by the minions of Lord Foul who call themselves the "AOO,"
announce to the peoples of the greater Lands that, although they be
much diminished, the Lords wish to offer what aid they can to the
peoples who are newly arrived.
Should any faction find itself trapped within the confines of the
Imperial City [aa0m], the Lords will provide them with the means
necessary to escape and travel to wherever they wish.
In return, the Lords ask nothing.  Should any member of such a faction
desire to respond in service, the Lords ask that such noble stay within
Imperial City with our representatives and help us to husband those
fearsome but docile beasts called "dragon."  It is the hope of the Lords
that many will stay within the city and devote themselves to the care
of these great creatures, that their number will grow great.  Again,
the Lords will provide all materials necessary.
To those who would caution us that such an offer may be taken up by those
who wish us ill as well as those who to help, we say that we are aware
of that risk.  Against that, we say we risk little of ourselves and
offer nothing to those of ill will that they have not already.  It
boots nothing to avoid their snares.
-Mhoram, now High Lord of the Council of Lords of Revelstone

"Revelstone Breweries announces that they are not responsible for the
offer and sale of 'HootieBrew', despite the label description of
the place of production as Revelstone.  The current use of the
manufacturing facilities is done without license or permission.
Further, reports of the quality of such brew have been extremely
negative, calling it "horrifically oversweet and nasty" and describing
finding objects in the brew which have been discovered to be
toenail clipping formerly attached to Bastrestric ther Archymonaged.
Needless to say, it is recommended that this product be avoided."

I have about 7000. I think Barry has more than that. So, figure the total
number of dragons in the AOO to exceed 20,000 (and maybe more than 30,000:
I don't keep close track of what the other members have on hand.)

So, yes, Desdinova needs a lot of help. In fact, if you'd all just gather
your forces in one place, we could settle this once and for all.

Arrr, the rebellion groweth apace, methinks!  Soon
the AOO will shaketh in their boots & to the maker
hastily go.

Any blood-thirsty rogues may contact me directly to
lay more vengeful plans.

Assume a spherical dragon....




   Eeeep!!!



                   How many of the players are AOO?
