[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.}}

[Kili skips the pleasantries and goes straight to business.]

I can fight. [He'll just have to pick up a bow...somewhere...]

I can help!

[Giant worms. There's no hesitance in her voice; people are in trouble. ]

I'm afraid that I'm no warrior, but perhaps I could help tend to the injured.

[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.

Please inform anyone returning to the castle that it will be undergoing fortifications to ensure the scourge of worms does not gain entry to the innocents within. [ While the heroes rush off, he'll take care of the less than offensively-inclined Seelie. Someone has to, and their need is no less great for protection. ] They will need to call ahead for any wounded so that we might be prepared to treat them immediately upon their arrival.

My name is Thranduil. I will remain in the castle proper provided your need is not yet dire.

I was trained as a Healer, I can help anyone that has been injured by those creatures.

Lucky for you, fishboy, you've got a daughter of Ares on your side. You can sign me up for worm-slaying. I could use a good fight.

[ she can pretend all the worms are luke and destroy them as brutally as she'd like to destroy luke. ]

Bring it on! These worms won't know what hit them!

[Elincia might have had qualms fighting in a war not her own but when it came to protecting the average citizen, there was no question about it.]

I will help.

[She might be hindered without her pegasus but she knew how to fight as a grounded soldier. There's a rush of moment as she drops her locket and grabs her sword and staves]

I am trained in combat and in healing so I will be able to tend to the injured on the front lines.

[ oh my god gross. (nice almost waterbending, though, dude!!????) ]

Has anyone tried fire?

[ that is a thinly veiled offer to help provide fire power, though POORLY COMMUNICATED. i apologize, mr gillsbender. ]

I see Ser Mako has already asked my question. [ namedroppin' and an appreciative head nod of ackowledgement. ur welcome, mako. ] If they can burned, I can be of assistance.

[He'd never fought a creature like the worms before, but they were hurting people, and he couldn't abide that.]

I'll help in any way that I can.

[ korra doesn't need to be told twice—the moment kaldur mentions that innocent civilians are involved, she bolts from the castle with the intention of finding them. ]

Which way did you go? [ she knows he mentioned nearby rivers, but it'd be nice to have an exact location. spirits, where's naga when you need her?? ] Are you north of the castle?

I can help with combat. And transport, if necessary.

I am Beleg Cúthalion and I was heading north towards the Forests of Breagha. I am heading back immediately towards your location.

Rest assured I can fight and if there are any injured I have some skill in healing as well.

[fuckin' how do you new fangled technology?! whatever, jean will just have to figure that out later, because hey! this was what he was brought here for, right? to help fight, or whatever? well, okay that might be stretching it a little since they were brought here to fight unseelie, but whatever. this was something he was good at. helping people. okay, so it might have been something he thought he was good at.]

I have some experience in fighting things that regenerate quickly. Where can I help?

Definitely not going to be too helpful in the combat area but I can help with the injured.

Took a first aid class once and I can at least bring them water or assist anyone with proper medical training.

[ aww yeah, finally some action. ]

Count me in! I got so many artes up my sleeve they won't know what hit 'em!

[ He is on the advance reconnaissance team with Legolas, and had just picked up his locket to call to tell him, no there are no monsters in this sector of the forest, nothing but dryads. Dryads who seem to have gotten over their natural skittishness and are comfortably dancing. In the nude.

...

In any case, he had just picked up his locket to call, which is when he noticed this post. Now he responds, aghast (with one hand still raised as a blinder against naked dryads): ]

How close are they to Caer Glaem?

Er-- [All right, Julian. This is what you found a rapier to deal with... No, actually, not precisely this but something like this. Fighting. Something. At least, he'd rather fight snake-like creatures than fellow people and has more confidence that they won't be able to parry him...]

I can fight, where would be best for me to go...?

[A pause and he adds,] Do we have any ideas on how to keep them from regenerating?

[ Well, that didn't take long, now did it? ]

I've got experience with giant worm things.

[ ...Thresher Maws certainly count, especially when they're spitting acid at you while you're trying to cross an inhospitable planet. ]

And new and exciting developments we should know about?

[ For a second he just might forget that without a working sniper rifle, the best he can do is bludgeon things with it. ]
