"What would you trade for a syringe of Lifeborn blood?"

Staying inside.

[piecewise]

"Wizard instincts teach you to be cautious. What was that noise, would you know? Sounded like rushing water."

Question!

"I am not sure, I don't hear it." The mayor says, looking around, confused.

Follow Xan into the town hall.

Hyenakles addresses the mayor. "Storm's brewing. Is there somewhere dry we can cower?"

You run into the town hall. That sound of rushing water is becoming more distinct. More like the flapping of countless tiny wings.

Head to the diner, see if they have actual food.

Inquire about the noises while I'm there.

You walk into the diner and find everyone there rather...frightened looking. They're wide eyed and glancing around, some hiding under their tables and others standing in the middle of the room, looking like they're trying to decide between running, hiding, or grabbing the nearest blunt object and holding their ground.

"What would you trade for a syringe of Lifeborn blood?"

Staying inside.

"Less. But some." She says, but at the same time she turns her head and cocks an earhole towards the door, listening.

[Xantalos]

You don't - is there a safe room or anything. A closet. Something.

Inquire about secure locations such as a panic room, a janitor's closet or something like that and rapidly take cover in one of them. Failing that, take cover under the nearest table.

[DoctorMcTaalik]

Find somewhere to hide, keep the deer shank ready in case I need to defend myself.

[piecewise]

Anyone else want to do anything before the inevitable? Maybe just cover the teeth and testicles? Duck?

[Xantalos]

Anyone who doesn't post: cover crotch with one hand and mouth/nose with the other.

[Beirus]

Go stay at the far back end of the building, away from doors or windows.

The mayor seems too confused to help so you quickly vault the secretary's desk and curl up in a ball under it.

You join xan under the desk and cover your head with the deer shank.

Go stay at the far back end of the building, away from doors or windows.

You run into the back most area of the store and hide behind the biggest, sturdiest table full of stuff.





Now, since everyone seems to have thrown themselves under a table or something similar, they don't see anything. But they hear the sound outside rise to a deafening degree then suddenly go silent.

[Xantalos]

Keep hiding for several minutes, listening for a change in sound or anything. If not, cautiously crawl out from under the desk and caaaarrefully look outside the window. Don't actually put any part of my body outside.

((What number am I in the waitlist?))

[DoctorMcTaalik]

Stay under the desk, but watch Xankarvo to see what happens.

[Beirus]

Keep hiding for a fee minutes. If nothing happens, peek out and see if the shopkeeper is okay. If she isnt, grab some loot.

[piecewise]

((What number am I in the waitlist?))

10-ish, depends if we count the people currently trying to get a spot in the jeep.

Don't worry, we may have spots opening rather quickly, depending how this goes.

Everyone is hiding for several minutes eh? Well several minutes might be longer then you have.



Almost immediately after the sound stops, the screaming begins. A few at first then more, mixed with the sound of breaking glass and running. A strange sound, deep and resonant, like whale song, rattles your teeth and reverberates through the buildings. No one can understand it, but they have the distinct understanding that it is a language of some sort.

The inhabitants of the shop and the diner are safe for the moment but Xan and his new Hyena friend are not. Something explodes near the front of the building and a large chuck of the entrance doors glances off the top of the desk before spinning off into a back wall. The resonant noise, combined with the sound of chittering and buzzing gets closer. They can hear the mayor say something, but they can't make out what over the noise. A moment later something wet, heavy and soft slams into the desk like a garbage bag full of raw hamburger.

[Xantalos]

<shit fuck fuckity fucker fuck>

_{Alright hyena guy, get ready to kill something.}

Please tell me I have some measure of things I could use to set things on fire. A lighter or somesuch. If not, ready the closest weapon-like thing I have, ie my pen. Get ready to murder things.

Also check to see what that thing what hit the desk was. It was the mayor's corpse, isn't it?

Actually let hyena guy do his thing. Still ready any weapons I have though.

[DoctorMcTaalik]

Hyenakles grabs Xankaevo by the arm, and shakes his head. He motions to the deer shank.

Quietly poke the husk with the deer leg, and jiggle it around a bit. Be ready to hunt the fuck out of anything that comes near, unless of course that would get me killed.
