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!!)

She's exhausted, had been starting to worry, but the beast is weakened just as much - if not more - than the groups fighting it. She's proud, in the back of her mind, of this little collection of brave fighters who are willing to do the dirty work to save a population that will probably not even remember them after they go. Proud, but the fight has her attention. She'll congratulate them later, after they win.
Another frost step to get herself out of the way, but then she raises her hand in the air and makes a fist. This time, instead of the purple of electricity she had been using, a lime green orb of light bursts into existence over the dragon, a bright stream of energy shooting out to the creature and starting to slowly suck the life out of it. It's small amounts of damage over time, it won't kill the dragon on its own, but it'll get them there faster.
She hadn't wanted to do it, to put on such a display of power, but they're running out of options now. This needs to end as quickly as possible.]
Hurry, now's the chance! Finish it off!

He'll just be right up near the beast, hacking and slashing with his greatsword, focusing on bringing the thing down. Joys of being a tank, and all that jazz.]

and it may be a big sign of the beast's growing desperation. when green light spears down from above to bleed him of precious energy, another shudder ripples through the air, and he roars.
he doesn't know where this new pain is coming from, so he whips around in place--lashing out with a forked pair of tails, trying to knock his little enemies away and claim some room for himself. and when he thrashes back in the other direction, he spits another wide spray of acid over the first creatures he can hone in on.
this time, the lucky ones are Jove and Fenris.]
no subject
He's been careful to keep from using too much of his power so far, not wanting to use too much in case the worst were to come, and so he is quick to move, slamming the butt of the stave into the ground, waving an arm in the direction of Fenris and Jove as soon as the acid falls from the mouth of the creature. A Barrier spreads over them, a fine and thick burst of magic, before he moves backwards and raises his hands again, twisting a curling flex of his fingers.
The next wave of power that comes is stronger; it's not just defence but Rejuvenation, enough to send strength through weary arms and heavy hearts. It's all that he can do for now, constantly prepared to make sure that he has enough strength of his own to keep them safe. ]
