    Ahem. Olimikrig? I can hear everything you say. And since I can't be surprised and wish to save my better powers for later, I lash at you with my tail.

    /me constricts the magma golem

    @Fel - Well, it's not like I have an SPS account or anything. :lol:

    Please leave my 'points' outta this! :mommy: :spin:

    No. It can nay be that. Eldular must've used foul magic to break the spells so he could inform thee of mine evil schemes.

    I'm gone for half a day, and this thread becomes a human sacrifice cult :eek:

    And the mystery deepens. I'm sure Fel can tell us more about the canon characteristics of Pseudodragons, but it's quite obvious that Tal's power far exceeds these in power...

    So while "psuedo dragon" here might refer to an actual canon Psuedodragon, it seems to me that we should also dwell on the crucial space between the two words Tal has given us "psuedo" and "dragon"...

    The word "psuedo," of course, derives from the Greek: "psuedes" meaning "false" or "psuedein" meaning "to decieve." So while we might want to jump to the conclusion that Tal is referring to a known being of the DnD world, we should also be wary of a very clear double message in Tal's cryptic statement: the "false" dragon, the heavy hint of "deception."

    Thus, when Tal subsequently remarks:

    We cannot help but look for hidden meaning. The English word "blind" has it's roots in both the German work "blenden" meaning not only "to blind" but also "to dazzle," with an overtone of "to deceive," along with the Middle English word "blenden" (derived from the Old English "blendan" and the Old Norse "blanda") meaning "to mix." And so, when Tal says "colourblind" he is not refering to a simple physical inability to see colors, but rather to a yet-unknown condition whereby colour dazzles and decieves through some kind of alchemical mixture.

    Thus, to be "colourblind" refers not to an inability to see, but rather an enlightened state, perhaps known only to an inner circle within the Servants of the Pink Sorcerer, whereby Tal's true pink nature is known.

    The Eye is Blind! so to speak.

    If anything should be clear to us at this stage, it's that we should never underestimate the subtlety of Tal's mind: we must be prepared to find schemes within schemes within schemes...

    Woa Bion. and you think we're the ones who're :nuts: :lol:

    the word blanda hasn't really changed that much throughout the ages. Only the last 'a' has been replaced with an 'e' so its not blande ;)

    I still say we might unvocer this whole mess somewhat quicker if we sacrifice a living beeing to please the allmighty :p

    [​IMG] As the only active partcipant in this discussion with an SPS account, I feel it only fair to warn you that a decision has been reached.
    (That sounds about right. Yes, that should do nicely.) Ahem. So no sacrificing! :nono:

    I've put my original avatar in my profile, since I had a blank in the picture field anyway.

    Well there goes my Ruby Dragon theory. :( Oh well, at least I won't have to feel bad about slaughtering the ones in FF8 (if I ever get tired of BG...nope, not happening).

    So:
    -Tal is a sorcerer (established)
    -the "pink dragon" was actually his pseudodragon familiar (established)
    -alignment based on that would be any non-evil (based on preferences of pseudodragons), or between LG & NG (based on BGII)
    -red dragon avatar is as yet unexplained

    @Fel - I agree with all. As for Tal's new red dragon pic, maybe he just learned Polymorph Self and is testing it out? Or he could be finishing his RDD prestige class and is now the apothesis of a red(ish) dragon.

    @Bion:
    :rolleyes: I dunno about anyone else, but I for one CAN help! ;)

    @Olim - she's an *outsider* with telepathy (as well as confusion between this ability and telekenisis...) your whispering may as well have been right into her ear ;)

    /me looks at the marilith leave this extraplanar realm of SP back to her home in the Abyss

    Great...there's only 666 of them; Right, see you this time next year! :p

    /me trudges off to go find one soldier in the midst of a multi-planar battle between Tanar'ri and Baatezu...sigh.

    Then it was she who used foul magic. all-in-all it's the same. What do I know? I'm just a stupid golem.

    @Olim - aye, it still has the same result.

    /me thinks upon a search through the Blood Wars with some trepedation...

    And don't sell yourself short; you far more sentient than most golems-

    /me distractedly pats Olim on shoulder for a moment then starts blowing on singed hand...

    :nuts: this threat is going nuts

    And what about that theory that Tal's a Deity over the plane of Sorcerers?

    Maybe Bion, that you are indeed a pink dragon disciple, but a disciple of Tal's Pink Pseudodragon. If Tal got godhood, (the theory of the Plane of Sorcerer's Place) then his familiar must've got full dragonhood. Or Tal merely granted it full dragonhood. It make sense now doesn't it?

    So who shall be the High Cleric of the God Tal? :pope:
