For the first time since their assault on the wall, @myla and Elena Eldouir would encounter meaningful resistance. There would see the tower on approach, but not see the artillery shells until the explosion sounded and they started to whizz through the air. They’d have time to respond, but not long before the shells would impact the ground around them.
@alistair and @adeline would encounter similar difficulties. @alistair and @adeline would be caught unawares. Shells would hail down on them, impacting the water and land. Though none hit directly, a nearby shell would be enough to throw @alistar backward and make @adeline ’s ears ring with the impact.
@kester and @kaveri would, unfortunately, not be close enough to take on @drystan and Azazel Eldouir . They were moving too quickly, the monster with his size and Drystan with the speed of his mist. They’d arrive at the wreckage of the wall, open now to the sea like a gaping wound.
The cavalry scouts were still trying to reach their destinations, finding it difficult to keep up with the Eldouir.
Meanwhile, at the Dresmondi camp, @yeva would find herself in a very precarious position. The infantry, which had been streaming steadily into the camp, bore down on the young Eldouir. Numbers were not on @yeva ’s side, and though she tried to dodge, they were starting to surround her. They combined forces to hack away at @yeva ’s limbs, three of which fell to the ground with a spew of blood and a sickening thud. The same number of Arynnite soldiers had fallen, joining the Dresmondi that Yeva had cut down before.
Hiram Eldouir kept chanting, and @donovan easily delt with the Dresmondi Camus . His dyr was locked into place by the bear traps on the ground. The giant boulder would appear above them and begin to fall. The other Dresmondi now found themselves backed up against the wall Donovan created. Some doubled back in an attempt to get around it. Others were being evacuated by Arynnite soldiers, but bottlenecks were forming in the doorways where portkeys led to the city.
At the palace, the kingdom that valued logic and reason above all was starting to tremble with the slight vibration of chaos. Rumor had it that Kimora Llewellyn had fled to Nevermere, following her son who had gone to fetch help. Fearful Arynnites sought shelter in their homes and leadership gathered around @calliope as their point of contact.
GUIDELINES
- POST TIMING: You will have 48 hours to reply, so please plan accordingly and take posting order into account. We will not wait for your character, and if they are a central part of an exchange then they will still be factored into what is taking place. Their actions (or inaction) will be narrated by the CN.
- SPECIFICITY OF ACTION: In the interest of fairness, the CN will actively avoid asking OOC clarifying questions about posts. This indirectly rewards vagueness, as it gives the opportunity for players to 'adjust' their actions knowing what others have done since. Please be as detailed with your character's actions as possible. Any vagueness of action will be left up to the principles of realism and the discretion of the CN. If you have any questions about this, please contact Rigby .
- IMPORTANT NOTES: @calliope has taken charge of Arynnite troops, and Kimora Llewellyn is at present unaccounted for. Camus will continue to narrate the responses of NPC Dresmondi refugees.
- POSTING ORDER: No posting order.
