Tryll's Rapid Response (Tryll)

[Yuthirin]

"Well, that's not good. I mean, it's good, but not good. Not good for the plane? But is is? I guess? I dunno. Are the gods really gonna show up in person-like? They know that's not a good plan! Gods and Primes don't mix in those amounts!"

[Anastasia]

"Yeah, that's the problem. Semyaza's facing down Alicia and Syala somewhere here, according to Tepen," Moonlight says, "We're sort of getting the end of the world on account of it."

Note since you're at work and not on IRC for this update:

> Okay, pausing all of you pending Iddy catching up a bit. He's a few posts behind and what he does will matter. Most likely we start tomorrow with a brief skip along as matters are decided.
> More formal discussion of how you did will happen OOC and IC soon, but casually? You all did really well here in dealing with some serious challenges.
> Neither side was playing remotely fair here and it's an interesting warm up and shallow taste of what the battles for Lifasa may well be like.

Go ahead and do a bit more back and forth, but once you're locked into a course, you'll be paused pending Surraruthru.

[Yuthirin]

"Well I mean, I'd probably be fine. I'm a courre. I'm used to seeing gods swing power around. But Tryll's not! And you're not! And Surrururururuthuru isn't either, probably! We gotta get him off the plane! And everybody else! Crystal! Do we have any evacuation plans we can use? Tryll can do lots of small-group teleportation!"

[Anastasia]

"I think Tepen's working on it," Moonlight says, "C'mon, out of the way, troops and refugees are going to be coming in fast."

[Yuthirin]

"I'm not in the way! I'm in your hair!"

[Anastasia]

That good to skip ahead a tad as mentioned, Yuth? Unless you have anything else you wanna add.

[Yuthirin]

SKIP AHEAD, SKIPPER

[Anastasia]

You sit and watch. You watch as others rush in, escaping the cataclysm.

The world shatters before you. The ground bubbles and boils, becoming a rainbow-colored slurry that shifts into strange geometric patterns. The skies rain fire and blood, cascading down on the broken ground. Gale winds blow that howl with diabolical fury and the ring of battle. Snow and ice erupt from the ground like veins bursting through skin, melting into sizzling purple fire. Earthquakes, semi-constant and varying in intensity. The sound of trumpets blast across the world, answered by roars of infernal wrath.

Very quietly, Moonlight says to you, "I've seen this before. They're fighting using their divine will against one another. It's not just an archdevil and and two demigods waging war, it's everything they represent and that serves them."

[Yuthirin]

"That probably means bad things for the innocent residents of the plane, though!"

[Anastasia]

"There will be losses," Moonlight agrees, "Better this than Semyaza's continued reign. Oh Lathander," She bows her head a moment, lips moving in silent prayer.

'Listen up,' Calleigh hears in her mind. It's Tepen. 'The rapid response force will be going out to herd evil spirits towards Aurora. More information will be given to you by your commanding officers.'

[Yuthirin]

"Uhhh, we're going out there?" Calleigh looks unsure.

[Anastasia]

"Shit," Moonlight says, "Are you safe to go? What about Tryll?"

[Yuthirin]

"I mean if I get exploded or something, I'll just reform on Arborea. It sucks, but I've died a few times before. Tryll's different. Sorta. Until recently, if he died that would be it. He's already sorta-dead, so not much can actually kill him. Re-kill him? I dunno. But! Right before this uh incident, he figured out how to make himself more planty. You know how he looks sorta like a squid crossed with a weird tree?"

[Anastasia]

"Right," Moonlight says, "Are you two good with coming out with the rapid response or staying in here?"

[Yuthirin]

"Oh! Uh, yeah. Let's go!"
