Dragon!

Who: ANYONE!
Broadcast: If you want
Action: The forest outside of town!
When: Ambiguously around the 23rd

Before the mob
[Tek has run out of time. he's pushed his body and spirit to its limit, and his hold over himself finally slips. he's quiet about fleeing the city, but it's a different story once he reaches the wilderness. the sudden release of energy as he loses his human shape hits the atmosphere in a silent wave. the countryside shivers as an aura of death and malaise touches every living thing, even if only in the very back of the mind. and for those more sensitive to such things... it's clear that something has happened. something is here.

for those wandering the forest that day, they may step into an area of the forest gone still with a graveyard hush. and if they linger there, they might happen upon a monstrous beast.

he's keeping to the tallest, deepest copses of trees... because it's hard to keep hidden when you're the height of a three-story building. either creeping and looming between the trunks, gratefully wading into streams, or curling up to rest in roomy clearings, he's there.

and he's hideous. though not actually rotting, the creature is at least designed to look cadavorous. he doesn't appear overtly aggressive... but something looking like that must be far from harmless.]



After the mob
[and he can only stay hidden for so long. a band of foresters eventually happen upon him, and a battle inevitably ensues. it isn't long before the remnants of the group run howling into town-- a dragon is less than a mile away, and it has already struck down several of their number!

at once, the bravest warriors take up arms, ring the alarms, and begin to set out in bands to take down the monster!

anyone striking out to find the dragon after the battles have begun is definitely in for a fight, because he is now wounded and angry. and, since he's so large and caught in such a small area of land before he hits the barrier, he won't be hard to find--especially whenever he breaks the canopy of trees and takes flight, to try and find another area of forest not already full of attackers. if you watch the sky and follow him long enough, you're sure to find him.]



(ooc: open to absolutely anyone! just take a look at the ooc post first, and then jump in! also open for any peripherally-related threads--like reacting to the creepy wave of feeling that goes through the town, gathering friends, etc.--if you feel like it!

if you have any other questions, dump 'em in the ooc post!

otherwise, DRAGONFIGHT DRAGONFIGHT!!)

[Finrod does indeed have his own sword and set of armor, recently acquired. He has a grim look about him as he approaches, but he still manages a little nod hello.]

Jove.

[She doesn't blame him for that look, not after what he told her about dragons in his own world. As glad as she is to see him, especially with a sword in hand, she's still frowning faintly as he joins her.]

Hello, Finrod. Your help is appreciated, but are you sure you want to do this?

My lady, to use your own words, I could not in good conscious do otherwise. [A faint smile] Besides which, I have never been one to run from a fight.

I guess that's just one more thing we can add to the list of things we have in common.

[She nods his sword, finding it curious that he has one without the shield she's always seen paired with a one handed sword.]

I've never seen a warrior wielding just a sword before. [Not a trained one, anyway. Men grasping at a blade when it was needed wasn't a strange thing, but to go into battle that way?] Do you need a shield? We could probably find you one.
faithfulwisdom: (What's that?)

Ah, you have not seen one of the Noldor in action. A shield will not be necessary; my particular style of combat is best without it. It would be better if I had a true elven blade, of course, but we must make due.
