Well, to be honest, I was surprised when Celestia decide to kill Jbg for no better reason than "I already killed one devil today, how about another one?" A good argument could be made for Draco joining our side; we are simply defending ourselves and our way of life. We, the stereotypically 'evil' beings, were betrayed for no better reason celestial dominance, something I would consider reprehensible.

He immediately begins to beavergoat the man quite thoroughly! At the very beginning, the man is mystified by James' actions, but his face quickly becomes a mask of horror when the procedure starts!

"OH GODS WHY? WHYYY?"

After a twenty minute session, the man is left white as a sheet, hairless and completely and utterly dead. James congratulates himself on a job well done!

I am very curious to see how the GM's combat mechanics work now. And if everyone on the losing side will be killed, just some of them, and whether any victors will also fall.

I wonder how aware our followers will be of the battle...not counting Jebyg's warriors and the Dragons.

Gman? Are you the person who wanted to join earlier?

If so, good. You can provide us with some perspective.

Do you think Celestia was right to incite war as a precautionary measure against an uneasy truce collapsing?
Or was Jbg innocent, and is Celestia simply warmongering for gains in power and territory?

This is a war where the stars shall fall to earth, when massive chunks of earth are burnt in the flames of war, when the thunderous clashing of gods is the beating of war drums, where time itself seems to stop just to watch such a war. This is the First Great Metaphysical War.
I think they'll notice.

Well through my interpretation of power here, My team has the equivalent of 4-5 greater gods, while the other team has 2 greater gods, a devil, and a Fairy Lord.

You're missing some parties from your lineup. You also appear to be seriously overestimating the value of angels and demons. According to the Combat strengths summary:

Quote
Angels
Two to three to beat a demon.
Quote
Demons - As LGs are to GGs, Demons are to Devils. Two can match an FL.
Quote
Faery Lords(FL) (PCs) - Two can take on a devil and be even, or beat an LG, it takes at least five to beat a GG.

So...1 greater god ~= 5 Faerie Lords ~= 10 Demons ~= 20-30 angels.

...there was a bit more to it than that.

To be fair, we did probably make things rather complicated.

It would be imprudent to answer that question before the turn update.

So...1 greater god ~= 5 Faerie Lords ~= 10 Demons ~= 20-30 angels.
We have a God of War= >Greater God
Devil of War= Greater God
3 regular devils= 1 Greater God and a devil
Demon of war= Devil (combining this with the other extra devil is equal to a greater god)
Angel and an Army.

You have 2 Greater Gods
a Devil
a Fairy Lord
2 Fairy Courtiers.

We're in the lead.

...You're going to try and crush everyone in some kind of masterstroke plan, aren't you.

If you have some good reason for fighting us, come out and say it.

(Jbg, don't forget the demon of Death I created with all my influence.)
