[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.}}

Derek.

[ though it wouldn't be the first time someone called him "big guy," and it's not the worst thing he's been called by a long shot. but sir is weird, and derek shakes his head at it, brushes it off. ]

Do you need something?

[ it's not outright rude, but it's a little terse, derek's attention half on the battle he was just engaged in. ]

[devotedqueen]

Sir Derek.

[She nods back towards where she had left Mako behind]

We were discussing how to fight the worms more efficiently and wanted to know if you were capable of carrying the worm pieces over to bonfires [Which they should definitely set up as soon as possible] before they can regenerate.

[altercate]

No, just Derek.

[ because derek just can't let well enough alone, even if that probably makes no difference in the long run. he's not a knight, or anything else. but what she's asking, that derek's capable of, and he nods, obliging. ]

I can lift them. We'll need more people than just me though.

[ which mostly means smaller pieces, but he thinks that's a suggestion he can save for later. ]

[devotedqueen]

[...but she wants to be polite!]

...Derek.

[She nods, looking relieved. That was one issue out of the way]

Of course. First, we just need to gather as much firewood as possible.

[altercate]

Do you need me for that?

[ it's faintly dismissive, like derek doesn't think he's the firewood gathering type. but to be fair, it isn't like he's getting a lot done as it is. the worms heal. all the claws in the world aren't going to make a difference there. ]
