Event: Abort! Part One
Until now there has been one mission in every month. The practice in Apple and since then one for each month. So for those that have been on the train for a while they will be extremely surprised when on the twenty fifth day of the month of Egret their SCA’s glow gold and a hologram appears. Another mission.
Strange or not preparations need to be made, the voidtreckers are needed, strange timing or not.
Preperations
As promised the dressing room is open once again and there is a collection of leggings, shirts and tunics. All are in bold, differing shades of team colours and are made of sturdy material. There are a couple of cloaks, like those they wore in the goblin world they look medieval in style but will keep rain off as well as a modern raincoat.
As usual they have about an hour of preparation time, to gather supplies, get changed and help those who need more help disguising themselves to do so.
Arrival
”We are now approaching world#27462947582. Warning: Exit from void in ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four,” Hopefully even those who are new know to hold on or sit down by now. ”Three, two, one.” A jolt and a lurch and the void from outside the windows disappears to show green grass and a blue sky.
The Voidtrecker Express has landed in a small dip between two hills. Tall enough to mostly hide it and once everyone who wishes to disembarks it vanishes.
The voidtreckers, on climbing the hill, will find they are inside the city walls, just. Here it is mostly farmland still but as they move towards the centre there are more houses and things become more crowded and bustling. The city is big enough that an influx of strangers doesn’t turn many heads.
Their SCA has a map, red team’s has a marker for the northern gate, purple’s show the position of guard posts. Orange and Blue’s shows the main gates that lead out into the kingdom beyond.
Red Team
Getting to the northern gate doesn’t take all that much time and they are let out without much fuss, though fair warnings about the monsters out there. It is clear that though this city is nominally guarded and walled, it has been a long time since there has been war here and people can come and go as they wish.
The desert is, much as can be expected. It is more a scrub land rather than rolling dunes of sand but the land is cracked and dry. They have to move at least an hour away from the city before they come across any monsters at all.
When they do they are strange almost-boar looking creatures. They are vicious and will attack on sight, charging with huge tusks and teeth that are far too sharp to belong to a natural creature. They are clearly intelligent, even if they don’t seem to have language. But they never come across more than five at once and there doesn’t seem to be any movement of them towards the city.
Purple Team
The guard posts are only have a few guards there at any one time. Though questioning any of them the voidtreckers will learn that there are other guards in the city, ready to come to the defence of the walls if the alarm is ever sounded. Those on the walls are there to keep watch.
It might take a little bit of persuading but there isn’t a huge problem with purple team being allowed up onto the walls. As long as they don’t seem to be causing or bringing trouble.
The surrounding countryside is clear. To the north is the desert but to the east, west and south there are rolling hills of green. The kingdom that this city is part of.
For them it is a few hours of tedium and anticipation. Watching the landscape, waiting for a threat. The other soldiers are curious enough that they could be coaxed into conversation or a game of dice.
Blue Team and Orange Team
It is very difficult to convince a city full of people who have not known danger in a long time that they have to pack up and leave.
There are difficult shop keepers, confused farmers, worried parents.
Some are able to be ready quickly and so can follow the Blue team out of the southern gates. It might take more than one group, with a few blue team going with each one. The kingdom isn’t particularly dangerous but who knows when that may change. Keeping everyone together and moving will be the challenge here.
For Orange team there are plenty of logistical problems to get stuck into. Animals need moving, people need help packing or wrangling small children. Older people need help finding carts to ride.
Not to mention the very stubborn ones who will take a lot of persuading. Those who were on the goblin world have had practice in this already of course, and hopefully have tips to share.

"Nobody looks concerned," he said, with a shrug and a smile. "So I'm not going to worry either."

He thinks. "We might be attacked, there is no knowing for sure. Other teams are supposed to keep the desert monsters away, but well, we don't have a crystal ball to tell us the future." He shrugs. And then he pictures Wall of Stone shielding them and the civilians, and he smiles at Najaran.

There were people milling around and gawking at Najaran's creatures. Some of the children were running to keep up, calling out, "Me, me! I want to ride too!"
Curufin grinned at them. "Be patient and you'll get a turn."
no subject
The armor shrugged. "Better than pealing po-ta-toes and onions," it said in an oddly musical voice as it reached an arm down for the kids to climb.
Yep. It talks.
no subject
He watched with delight as Najaran asked the suit of armor to carry the kids. And then he smiled when the Knight gave a humorous answer.
The kids shrieked with pleasure as the Knight reached down for them, and they scrambled up like little monkeys and clung to the armor.
"You get stuck with kitchen duty?" Curufin asked the Knight. "Do you get to use the kitchen knives, or do you have to peal vegetables with your sword?"
no subject
no subject
And the kids chuckled and snickered, having heard that exchange between the Knight, Curufin, and Najaran. One of them, an older girl, threw in her two cents' worth: "We'd rather wield swords than vegetable peelers, but our moms would rather put us to work in the kitchen." The rest of the children nodded, rolling their eyes over the silliness of parents.
no subject
Sadly as much as it was a story meant to convince the kids that they were better off with their peelers and chores for now... it was also pretty dern close to true.
