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

[ 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.}}

[ At first the chime is entirely confusing and surprising and... truly it takes Legolas a moment to realise and remember. When he speaks it's without any alarm or distress, in fact... Legolas sounds quite overjoyed. ]

In the Great Greenwood, we should reach the river within half a day's ride and the journey has been peaceful so far. You should see this forest, father, it truly resembles home... sans the creatures that live here, but they too are fair.

[ Completely unaware of what's going on at the stronghold. ]

[ Without decorum, he (reluctantly) overrides the joy in his son's voice. ]

Homesteads in Glaschu have been attacked by great serpents, limbless dragons. You are to return north with your company immediately and lend aid to the coteries of warriors already defending the land; fire is the weakness of the creatures, we believe. The gates to Caer Glaem are shut by my magic. If you must enter, inform me first so that I might open them for you.

Be careful.

[ His tone grows serious with the information presented, immediately haling further progress to inform the team as soon as they're done speaking. ]

Henion, I will be on my way immediately after informing everyone.

[ His voice grows a whisper, though he knows better than to worry overly much over his very much capable father, well, they haven't been here long and already there is such trouble. It doesn't bode well. ]

You too be careful, ada.
