[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.}}

[Dragon.

That was definitely a dragon - right? It was so much smaller than... than Smaug... Oh dear.

But the worm's screeching brings him back to the present and he tears his gaze away from the young dragon and back to his current target. Either he'd die by dragon fire or be eaten alive by this foul creature, but he could at least spare himself the latter.]

R-Right! [He moves almost blindly, only knowing enough about sword fighting to know that the pointy end goes first and that's just what he tries to do to the best of his abilities. Being so small and quick on his feet he maneuvers somewhat easily around the worm's writhing body, stabbing and slashing where he can before he's struck down by its tail.]

Dracarys! [ Drogon and Viserion react in a breath, raining fire upon the worms head in a blaze far longer than either of them, but contained to their sights. In turn, the worm shrieks, though its thrashing abates. It will still entirely in a moment. ]

[ She directs her horse closer to the near carcass in hopes of aiding Bilbo. ] Are you all right, brave one?

[somethingprecious]

[Bilbo sits up on shaking arms, his hand still gripping tightly the handle of Sting with white knuckles and breathes out slowly. His stomach will be bruised tomorrow, but he doesn't feel like anything is broken and finds quiet relief in that. His eyes dart over the still form of the creature, uncertain if is truly dead yet or not, when he spots the other two dragons flying above Dany's head as she approaches him.

Quickly he stands up with a wince to move away from the horse, mostly on impulse. Hobbits and horses never mixed well, as did most things that towered over small creatures like him.]

Yes- Yes, I'm alright. Please don't worry. [He waves a hand as he looks up at her.] Are you alright? A- And your... your dragons, they... [Oh there's two more of them. Why did she have so many dragons?]

super late becase of hiatus; feel free to drop or hit me up to handwave ♥

[ At his words, she nods. He is smaller than most, up close, but Dany knows better than to think much of appearances. Anticipating a declaration of worry or fear, so common among people, she counters quickly, with all the certainty of a queen. ] They'll not harm the innocent.
