[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.}}

[When she had arrived on the scene, Elincia's first line of duty had been to stop to heal the civilians. When they were as well as what her healing staves could offer them, she put the youngest on the horse she had taken from the stables and set the most able bodied civilian to guide the child back to the hospital and to send the horse back later with more aid before taking off to aid the others in battle.

With her sword at ready and her healing staves within reach, Elincia charges into battle, twisting out of the way of the worm's fangs and swings her sword, slicing through the worm's side and drawing blood. It screeches and Elincia is quick to retreat before it can strike at her again. Even in the heat of battle, Elincia makes sure to keep an eye out for the others who are also fighting, ready to aid them with a quick heal of her physic staff if it becomes necessary.]

[ mako does fairly well at avoiding most of the attacks (lol, thank you sports career) but sometimes, a worm will lash out a little to close and a little too fast for him. this particular sweep from one of the larger worms sends him flying, right into the splintering and rotting wood of an old tree, knocking the breath out of him, and bruising his ribs plenty -- invisible damage different than the blood he spits out from his mouth, courtesy of a split lip. ]

[With a quick swing of her sword, Elincia slams the flat of her blade over the head of a worm, stunning it and makes her way quickly to Mako's side, sheathing her sword for now and draws out her staff. Had he been one of her own soldiers or an ally from home, she would have healed him from a distance. But judging by his fighting style, he wasn't and she didn't want to disorientate him with a healing spell he wasn't expecting.

She holds out her staff and gently presses it to Mako's chest and a soft blue glow envelops him]


Please hold still.

[She keeps a wary eye out on any worms but for now, they seem more interested in attacking the more obvious threat]

How are you feeling?

[Not quite talking about the more obvious injuries]

[It's always good to have another archer in the fight, especially among the more esoteric fighters he could see summoning lighting and fire at the worms. Beleg does not know how they are doing this, just that it seems to have an affect on the worms and that was good enough for him.

He turns to watch her fire a shot then offers:]
If you can, aim for the eyes or an open mouth. That is usually the weak spot of creatures such as these.

[ Allison spares him a glance over her shoulder, not because she wants to willingly ignore him, but she's trained enough to know that she needs to try and keep one eye on her target at all times. She's appreciative for the info though, and her next arrow finds its target headed right for the eye area of one of the creatures. ] Thanks!

Allison runs over to Lydia, grabbing her by the upper arms and starts to tug on her, away from the fight. ] What are you doing here!?

[ ooc; alpha squad planning in the ooc post

a; team huddle

mako snaps his fingers twice in rapid succession, to get the attention of the group that had, you know, actually listened to him when he called for a huddle, intent on at least getting a vague plan of action before they all tried to fight these giant gross ass worms. his tone is brisk and businesslike, gold eyes intense as he looks at those who agreed to meet. ]


Alright, listen up — I don't know who any of you are, or anything you can do, but before we do do this, we should have at least some sort of plan. I don't do well up close, but I can stun them lightningbending at first, and come in second with fire once other people have done damage.

What's everyone else got?

[ b; gunshot gunshot cash register noise

as he'd said during the huddle, mako keeps back when the worms approach, blue sparks arcing from his fingers in bolts of raw, coldblooded fire — lightning. it stuns them plenty, indicative in the way the worms reel, horned heads swaying as the light dies.

when they start to get close, he resorts to spinning kicks edged in bursts of fire, displaying an agility you wouldn't expect of a guy his height; backflips and frontflips, fireballs that have enough concussive force to at least halt an advancing worm's attack.

BACK UP WOULD BE GREAT, THOUGH, this is a lot of hard, physical work, and even though mako's fit, it's doing a number on his chi reserves, lightningbending continuously like that. ]

[A...huddle? Elincia is definitely looking very baffled about this huddling business but it does seem like it's merely a strategy meeting and that is familiar territory.

Still, being addressed so roughly is definitely somewhat strange]


I am adept with swords and I can heal. If anyone finds themselves injured or exhausted, they should come to me immediately.

[ by this point, mako's getting a bit tired from the effort of constantly lightningbending and avoiding getting eaten; he's sweaty, and as kaldur finally steps in, he takes the second to catch his breath better, adjust his stance.

later, he'll have questions about how kal can do the water weapons AND the lightning, but... like i said. later.

there's more important things to do rn. ]


No problem — I'll follow your lead.

[ he readies a fistful of fire, to make the mental transition from lightning to flame, and nods to kaldur, indicating that, yeah, he's good to go. he took the alpha team leadership out of necessity, but he certainly didn't mind following someone else's lead, especially if the guy's as logical as this one. ]

A; Combat
[Before he left the castle, he'd made sure to stock up on arrows for his empty quiver, medicinal supplies and rations for travel. No sword, for he still can't bear to think of using one without thinking of Anglahachel and Turin. It was fortunate, Beleg thought, that he'd not traveled too far, having set off at a casual pace, wanting to explore at his leisure, when the call for arms came in.

When he arrived, there were already others fighting against the worms. Face stern, he found a semi-concealed spot and began to fire arrows at the worms, aiming for the eyes and open mouths.]


B; Emergency Healing
[Beleg would not consider himself a great healer, but he had some skill in the area. And it was good thing he'd brought along medical supplies when he first left the castle. If it was a minor injury, Beleg will release his patient back into the fight (if a fighter). If something major, then he will help with transporting you back to the castle.]

[As the battle to keep the civilians safe carried on, Elincia could feel her reflexes slipping as her energy slowly drained away under the strain of battling and healing.

It only takes one slip up but it only takes one blow to her abdomen to pull her out of the battle. Wincing, she presses her hand to the slowly spreading red stain against her tunic and nods, forcing herself to keep still]


My apologies. I am not used to...this.

[She was far more used to being the healer and not the one in need of being healed. The injury wasn't too serious but if it wasn't treated, she knew it was only a matter of time before she became a hindrance rather than a help]

[ clarisse is no stranger to monsters like this. back home, everything big and ugly wants to kill her. she shouldn't be surprised that it's no different here. besides, after running into a certain someone at the feast, she's been on edge and itching for a good fight.

this is a pretty good fight, if she says so herself. nothing compared to the drakon — these things really are puny compared to the 200-foot ancient dragon beast — but it still gets her blood pumping and it's helping clear her head.

she roars at one of the worms, her sword held high, and rushes it without a second thought, very narrowly rolling out of the way of its head colliding with her shoulder. the first slice she makes into the fleshy length of the worm makes a satisfying sizzling sound. celestial bronze, motherfuckers.

unfortunately, the strike also causes the worm to shriek and clarisse winces, attempting to cover her ears, but too little too late. someone might wanna give her some backup here, as she's temporarily disoriented. ]

[When Clarisse falters, Elincia is quick to rush in to defend her. She strikes quickly, dealing out four slashes to the worm. On the last blow, she hits it hard, harder than one would expect from a woman of her stature and knocks it back, seemingly paralysing it for the moment.]

he stands a little away from the rest of the team when he emerges from the fray, wiping the gore from his hands and skin. there's disgust on his face, but his eyes are on the worms, from the people battling them. it's clear this is only a temporary respite, that he's not tapping out just because he's taking a minute to wipe his face off. ]
