[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.}}

[ he nods as she talks — then jerks his head in derek's direction. ] Maybe have the big guy see if he can toss them on it.

[devotedqueen]

[She glances over--he looked like he could handle it]

We'll need to gather supplies to keep a steady fire going too.

[She hands him the elixir]

Here. Don't drink this yet, but if you find yourself wearing down in the middle of battle and taking injuries, take one drink. It should heal any injuries and restore your energy.

[jaywalks]

[ he takes it carefully, eyeing the vial's contents with a raised eyebrow. before carefully slipping it in his coat pocket -- he doesn't have any packs to speak of, and if he did, they'd get in the way of his bending. ]

Thanks.

[devotedqueen]

You're welcome.

[Elincia nods and packs away her things, drawing her sword out again. If Mako didn't need her aid anymore, she'd throw herself back into that fight]

I'll see if there's anything I can do about setting up a bonfire and if that man can assist in helping.

[jaywalks]

[ he nods and stands properly, brushing dirt from his coat to no avail (it's habit, he doesn't like to be dirty even if he has to) and nodding as he starts walking back to the best vantage point to zap worms. ]

Gimme a shout when you need it lit.

[devotedqueen]

I will.

[And she disappears into the fray, looking for people who could possibly lend a hand]
