[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!!)

DRAGON HUNTING PARTY - Round One
and with being trapped between the nearby barrier and what is immediately apparent as a band of hunters, Tek doesn't hesitate.
as the party comes into sight, the dragon whirls to face them--rising up to its full thirty feet of height. it has already been injured in previous skirmishes, but that does nothing to hinder the way it shows off every intimidating feature it has.
its jaws part in a bellow and rivulets of oily black fluid gush, drooling down, hissing wherever they hit the forest floor. and when it spreads its wings across the full width of the clearing, the air shudders like an enormous drum-skin--decaying energy breathing out in visible ripples of dull light. in response, the forest around them groans... and then begins to buckle.
something saves the slayers from its touch (thanks, Atroma) but branches around them sag and curl, and browning leaves crisp away into the air like ashes.
the message is clear, and the entire forest cries at them with it. leave now, or death will find you.]
(ooc: to help keep the madness of the dragon-hunting party manageable, feel free to start your own threads here and assume that you're part of the group at large! Tek can be surrounded, so it can be implied that everyone is working together on different sides of him. these can be little snapshots of action, sort of a highlight reel, so don't worry too much about continuity or logistics! also, threadjacking welcome!)
