[VIDEO] 9 April [SEELIE] A Call to Arms [OPEN]

[waterbearer]

[ The video is aimed largely past the speaker, to the twichting-writhing forms of three snake-like horned-creatures, the crackles of electricity still racing across their scales as they move. The locket is likely proper up on a rock or tree somewhere, as the speaker is turned to face the worms, his arms up and tattoos glowing electricity crackles from his hands. He is standing on land near a small river-stream near farmsteads. ]

Attention.

I am Kaldur’ahm, recently brought here with the rest of you. I was exploring the rivers and streams nearby and found that several had been blocked by these creatures, and that they were attacking the farms homesteads.

[ One of the worms seems to recover from the temporary paralysis, and lunges towards Kaldur, who leaps away and grasps two devices firmly in his hands. He jumps up again slams downwards on its tail with a water-formed spiked mace, inadvertently severing part of the tip from the worm. He bats the rest of the worm back further away and continues. ]

I am requesting assistance. Several of the civilians have been bitten, and are displaying signs of being in a critical condition due to the creature’s venom. I have been attempting to combat these worms for a few hours, and they grow more resistant to my electric paralyzation with each attempt I try.

[ The severed tail-end starts wriggling violently, and he forms a sledgehammer to knock it back several yards, closer to the still-paralyzed worms. ]

They are quick to regenerate from severed pieces, like echinoderms.

I need those who can help me combat these creatures and those who can help transport the injured to the castle, as well as individuals to help care for those injured by the worms.



{{ooc: The four first comments titled as "Alpha Squad", "Beta Squad", "Gamma Squad" and "Support Team" are for the 'action' part. (Where I will also attempt to GM as worms if people so desire). Feel free to answer the comm itself before immediately jumping into action, or to handwave being assigned to the team you are on and head straight for the action, as well as forming your own little threadlines!

They are more for organization purposes and keeping your squad-mates straight than anything else, and any number of threads can be started below the heading!

NOTE: IC'ly, the Squad assignations are happening on the spot.}}

[Celebrimbor's eyes widen as the sight of the sight of the giant creatures, but his features tighten, eyes narrowing. He's been in a funk, stumbling from moment to moment, ever since Legolas told him what happened to Eregion. His eyes flick to his axe, inexplicably brought along with him to this world. Or perhaps not as inexplicably as he thought.

He could stew in his thoughts, or he could go out, and help his Seelie compatriots. Silently he reached for his weapon, long, calloused fingers curling around the iron-wrapped haft.]

I can help. And I can fight.

Gratitude. I am trying to organize teams to help combat these worms and transport those in need of attention to the castle as soon as possible. Any help is greatly appreciated.

[A short, terse nod.] I will be over there shortly. You say they regenerate...What must one do to place a killing blow?

We have not yet been able to determine. Fire has been shown to prevent healing, we are hoping that sealing or burning any accidentally severed pieces will prevent those pieces from becoming a new worm.

I would ask that you assist Beta Squad with dealing with the creatures.

[Great, more to learn it seems like.] Very well. I'll go over immediately. [Celebrimbor's speech turns terse and clipped, and he kills the feed without a goodbye.]
