(OOC Option B - Diplomatic solution and partial agreement. Both for council, will remove technomancy, but not sylvan tech or artifacts. Will not punish immutables if they use what they use. NOTE: Weapons on Ships are sylvan or artifact, not technomancy as I don’t have that. Only mirror crystal ships are technomantic which I’m offering to destroy.)
Lalder hoped him and others could convince the nine not to become violent. He saw an ultimatum that they did not expect them to meet. Good chance this offer of theirs was a show. He hoped for peace and that he was wrong, but was concerned he was right.
Lalder approaches them and nods with respect to them. Lalder says “I am Auf Lalder of Auf Lal’al, councilgog of the UtR. I wish to work with you, the nine. But we need a compromise. But Let me explain my perspective.
I remember Olgogs from back thousands of years ago. We then were still living in peace. Even Olgog did not fight Olgogs much. We didn’t have to. There was land with Food and water.
But then the Earthers came and the Oners came. Olgogs driven from the North to the sourth. Resources getting less and less. Then Oners slaughtered more and more Olgogs. Destroy more and more of our foods, settlements, and tribes. Then I watched Olgogs fight each other more and more just to survive. Just for water and some food to eat. This went on for hundreds and hundreds of years. Watching whole tribes and bloodlines disappear.
I still wonder how our being slaughter did not empower the mag mag gor. How much destruction, slaughter, and loss of life happened during those years. I fear the mag mag gor was feasting on our destruction. Whether we fought in armies or not.
Now, three years ago. Tribes started working together. Develop new ways to grow food, produce water and protect our tribes. We found out that if we Olgogs stop fighting each other, we could protect each other. And we were strong. We fond ways to counter the earther technology. Axes were not working on Tanks, striders, or their aircraft. The ships did.
We also built floatings farms to prevent Oners, and other enemies from destroying or poisoning the food. This was happening when they were on or in the ground.
Then the Sky rained Destruction on Tla’loc’al. An Earther weapon used to destroy much of Tla’loc’al, the parts above ground. And we had no defense.
Unfortunately, this is where my big mistake came. I was a foolish and scared Olgog who thought he could make a deal with the Djinni. I did not understand what they could do. I was used by the plans of those beyond our little world. I will work to attone for a very long time due to this. The djinni crystal has been destroyed, but the damage is done.
But now, olgogs have are having the chance for peace. It did take conflict to get to. But now the Oners are unable to slaughter Olgogs outright. Olgogs are not fighting Olgogs just for food or water. Olgogs and Earthers have a chance for peace.”
Then Lalder pauses for a moment to collect his thoughts and says “For your demands. I cannot let you risk the lives of all of the Olgogs under my care. But I do not wish conflict. I hope for compromise and to work together. Let us not destroy the gains made as while you were gone.
This is my starting offer, I will destroy any technomancy devices. I have already sacrificed the first of 2 carriers and weapons my tribe recovered to banish all the demons in Unen. We could sacrifice the next carrier to do something that would help Olgogs. Something we can work together on.
Next, Peaceful use of the Sylvan technology and artifacts should be continued to used. The Floating farms, the barges and fighters that transport goods, the carriers which also act as communication and transportation hubs to make it possible to disperse the food and supplies where needed. We also use artifacts to heal the sick and disease and to keep areas clean of wastes.
We will stress the training of Hand weapons and not that of guns of the earthers. But we will not punish those that do use them.
Next, for now the I will maintain my fleet, not expand it, but keep it out of sight and look for ways to reduce its use in combat. They already are intended for defense and helping the food production.
We still have enemies in Unit 111, the Giants who keep attacking, and the Oners. As others can take up that duties of protecting Olgogs, we can determine what to do in reducing their use. As others take up defense, then we won’t need the weapons.
When thinking of what empowers the mag mag gor, consider all of the conflict that doesn’t happen due to their presence. Destroying the fleet will increase fighting, not reduce it. Our enemies will attack if they think we are weak. Will you replace them?
Lastly, the Herd of Auf Lal’al, the UtR, are a Provisional Colony. This will not change. This alliance allows us Olgogs protection from the ones, help with the flamewinds, and allies to help protect us when it is needed. Anyone that attacks us, attacks the Colonies. Our enemies think twice about attacking, reducing the chance of war.
I ask for you, the Nine, to help us. Advise us. Not threaten or attack us. We can work with you address your concerns. But this is not a solution that can be found in one day. If we do as you ask today, there would be famine without our farms and war as our enemies take advantage.
You will determine how me and mine treat you. Will you be respected advisors and elders? Or will you be enemies and terrorists and cause harm, destruction and Famine? I prefer the first but will defend ourselves against the second.
Thank you for listening"
(OOC NOTES:)
All mirror crystal technomancy devices will be offered up for destruction.
All floating farms, Fighters, Destroyers, and Carriers will be in the air and under fighter protection.
Crystal caves and its backup will be under extra protection.
Weapons gogs will be using are the artificed Spears and krato bones. Armor of Auf Lal’al will still be used (didn’t see anything against that.) Magi pistols will be stored and not out for now. Though if the nine break peace, then use what works to protect everyone.
(OOC below if Diplomacy doesn’t work)
Lalder and his tribe will defend themselves, even from the nine. If the nine attack, they will not be allowed in Lalder’s lands. Groups of AufGog, 2 summoners, and 2 apprentices, Tor’ab and his apprentices, will be protecting sites and counter leyas abilities. Hope to drive off. Lalder will defend allies as if he was attacked. First with diplomacy, then with supporting them.
