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!!)

I think most any dragon is a threat, once it gets to the rampage in the forest stage.
no subject
[ Dragons are bad. Pretty much always. ]
Did anyone say what it was? Like crystal and stone, or lots of ice, or rotting, or on fire, or plants?
... Or maybe it isn't like a dragon from home....
no subject
It's hard to say, really. It could be a dragon like the ones from your world, or like the ones from mine. It could be something neither of us have ever seen.
Are you, ah... planning to fight it?
no subject
Then he perks back up. ]
I'm not a warrior or a guardian so... I would need to go with other people, but I want to help get rid of it. I can heal people! And make things weaker!
no subject
Good, we'll likely need a few healers. Have you fought a dragon before? You sound live you've got experience with them.
no subject
It's mostly don't get near where the head can aim at you, and avoid where the feet go?
no subject
That's about all you have to know, yes. If it starts breathing fire or lightning or ice just stay as out of the way as you can. I'm Jove, by the way. It's nice to meet you.
[And it is. This kind of levity is something she wishes more people could manage.]
no subject
Avoid the things on fire or anything still icy, because dragons might have magic to make it hurt more. [ ... And he's a plant, fire is sort of terrifying. ]
I am Asteffiel!
no subject
And we wouldn't want you slipping on the ice in the middle of the fight, that might make things a little trickier.
no subject
A lot easier for dragon to squish. Even if I don't think I'm as squishy as other things.
... Maybe I could make my feet a little rougher for traction.... [ They're rougher than the rest of his bark already, but he could try for a courser tree. ]
