SEPTEMBER EVENT: BURNING ALIVE

Who: Everyone!
What: HOLY SHIT A FUCKING DRAGON
When: September 12th to September 19th
Where: Both Nastrandir and Ensō!
Warnings: Violence, potential injury by fire, potential character death. If anything else comes up, tag as you go!

Now I'm Ready for War
If you don't see the calamity, you'll probably hear it - the furious roars of an enraged, hungry beast, paired with the loud crash of waves as a great deal of water shifts, all at once.

If you're on Nastrandir, you'll have a massive, three-headed, fire-breathing dragon to contend with, as well as its watery counterpart. Either focus on staying alive or take the fight to the creature directly. If you choose the latter option, bear in mind that the massive water-serpent will be dispensing weapons for your use, and that these weapons will be the most effective against the beast's scaly hide. You have full mod permission to injure Ahidalga in whatever way is feasible for your character. We won't be policing anyone's participation in this fight! If it's plausible for your character to help the water-serpent in putting this beast down, you have our full blessing! If you're on Ensō, your task is a little less direct. Your job entails putting out fires and fighting Ahidalga's smaller (but no less vicious) brood. You will be receiving help from the Storyteller's paper birds, and those who wish to stick to their temple for safety are free to do so. Bear in mind that it is the weapons shed from the water-serpent that will be most effective against these smaller, draconian critters.

The days that follow, and the actions you take, will decide whether Nastrandir will be saved...or whether you're willing to let it, and all the history it carries, burn in the fire.

Jules scooped Garren out of the air and planted him on his shoulder with a grin.

"Why? So the thing can just come flying back here again?"

Probably before Tachibana even made it back to this island. Total waste of time if you asked Jules.

[triggerhappytraitor]

Garren preened happily, rubbing against Jules' cheek with another trill. There was a small little tingle of residual static electricity, but with the huge blast the pog-in-dragon-form had let off minutes ago, it's barely a tickle.

"If it has any sort of brain it'll go somewhere else," Tachibana countered.

[suspecteverything]

"Why, because you put it to sleep? Yeah, that's great incentive not to come back."

Pain and injuries motivate. Sleep, not so much. If anything, that's just incentive to go after Tachibana again. The odds of not getting hurt go up a few percentiles with him since he wasn't willing to do harm the first time.

[triggerhappytraitor]

Tachibana glanced over with a faint scowl. "Electrocution is something most animals understand, even rampaging ones."

Garren nodded, puffing up, sparks arcing from wing-tip to wing-tip.

[suspecteverything]

Apparently he'd missed that part. That was rather irritating actually. He prided himself on his awareness. It had kept him alive for quite a long time. To think he'd missed something so big... He didn't like that at all.

"From Garren?"

[triggerhappytraitor]

Garren trilled proudly in response, as Tachibana nodded.

It had been easy enough to miss. Garren was rather small, even in Hummer form, and the Song making focus more difficult had been what had allowed the tiny pog to get close enough to let loose his charge.

"Hummer dragons naturally produce electric energy. It's their main defence, back in that world. And far more effective than fighting fire with fire."
