A City Falls: Start
Preparation
Just after light on the seventh day of the month of Bassoon everyone’s SCA glows with the colour of the void before showing a message. A briefing for the mission to come.
Anyone who goes to investigate the dressing carriage will find all the cupboards and drawers open. They may need to battle through spider webs but soon will find an array of clothes. Trousers, skirts, dresses, shirts, robes, cloaks. Everything they will need and plenty of choice. All the clothes have accents of team colours in more muted hues than the normal bold hoodies they wear.
A few hours later there is an announcement over the speakers. "Arrival to Planet #25768 imminent. Prepare for exit from Void. Drop order: Purple, Orange, Red, Blue. All passengers are to wear their Safety Control Apparatus and are reminded that emergency evacuation protocol is three short taps."
The train shudders and jerks. It is time.
Purple
"Purple Team to doors. Drop in two minutes. Purple team to doors."
The train flies down through the air before coming to a stop between two rocky outcrops. The doors hiss open, it’s a bit of a jump down to the ground and anyone who looks back will find the train hard to see. Not invisible but definitely cloaked, shifting to blend in with the rock.
They can hear the sound of many footsteps and the high sound of young voices. It is easy to hear where they need to be.
As they move down the rocky slope they will see the main pass. A large group of children are walking. Spirits are high even if it is clear they are on their guard. Older teens are wearing weapons, swords, the odd axe, a few daggers. Nothing expertly crafted but they all wear them with ease. Slightly younger children carry the very young, toddlers and those too young to walk and keep pace.
There’s a sound from in front of the group. From around the corner a girl, about thirteen years old, runs towards them. Her braids bounce against her shoulders, her eyes are wide with fear and she waves her hands at the others. “Run! Run!”
A shadow looms behind her, a winged wolf, gaining speed towards her. Sat on the wolf is a spear wielding goblin.
From all around them a growling of many more wolves, in the hills, close and ready to pounce.
Orange
Once Purple Team are gone the train flies again. "Orange Team to doors. Drop in two minutes. Orange Team to doors."
The train seems to be still concealed as it hovers at the city walls. There’s a bit of a jump onto the walls but at least they are near one of the staircases down into the city.
Also luckily no one seems to have seen them appearing out of no where though that has more to do with the general chaos rather than anything else!
There is a lot of chaos! People evacuating, animals everywhere, people looking lost and bewildered. Get herding or helping and encourage people up that cliff path!
Red
The train flies onward. "Red team to doors. Drop in two minutes. Red team to doors."
The train makes a slightly bumpy landing on a rocky slope. Scrambling up the slope red team will see a group of fighters, perhaps eighty in total. There are some supplies to the side, not yet allotted. Some horses and weapons. All the fighters are currently focused on a tall woman who is on horseback, facing them from the front.
“… Say those that stand here, as few as we may be were the ones who end the goblin menace on our lands for good. For our children and our families. We fight!”
The end of what was clearly a rousing speech, the fighters cheer. They begin to move over the slope, towards the goblin camp below. If you are joining this battle the time is now!
Blue
The train flies low, skimming over the lake. "Blue Team to doors. Drop in one minute. Blue Team to doors."
Jumping down off the train they will land in the shallows of the lake. It’s not deep enough to go over their boots and now too far to wade to shore. The shore is rocky, loose rocks and pools of water to avoid. The tower stands before them. Three goblins, riding wolves perch on the walls high above them. The sky above crackles with lightning that is not at all natural.
The doorway to the tower is open, there are a lot of stairs to get up. The howls of the wolves fill the air as the wizards fight them off above. Time to climb!

Elevate
It shrieks as she reaches out to grab it, skimming low over the ground and then streaking up into the sky with the goblin in her grip. It's probably pleading for its life, the bow it used falling to the earth as Renee flings it up into the air and watches the goblin fall impassively until it thuds heavily to earth in many juicy pieces. Nobody fucks with her friends.]
Shit, are you all right? [Good thing about her flight is that it's fast, so she's back to at least try to help Gwen, but she does make a face at that arrow lodged in her bestie's shoulder.] Bet we gotta get that out post haste, don't we?
Re: Elevate
[ Gwen's voice is strained, like she's trying her best to not freak out. But that's a stupid arrow in her shoulder and truth be told? It hurts like a motherfucker. She's grateful to Renee, however, for stopping that goblin. Even if it was a messy way to go. They're just a tiny bit safe without that to worry about. Reaching up with her good arm to feel the arrow, she winces again as new pain flashes through it. ]
It is absolutely one-million percent straight through and out the back of my shoulder.
[ And it hurts. A lot. And it's bleeding. A lot. She'll be fine. She's also rambling from being in pain. ]
Peter's gonna freak out.
no subject
[Not that Renee's happy about the situation, but since it is through Gwen's shoulder entirely, she snaps the arrowhead off the back as cleanly as she can, and with no warning or fanfare, yanks the other end out. She's expecting to be punched, but that's fine. She'll roll with it.]
Bad thing is I don't have anything to clean it with, will your healing factor take care of that? [Not that it bleeding won't help clean it out, but Renee's worried there might be something in there that'd end up with a pocket of infection or something. She really doesn't want to have to lance Gwen's shoulder later.]
no subject
Gwen fails as an older sister and the stream of swearing is quite something, indeed. It's creative. It's colorful. Three of the smaller children have heard it and are laughing as they whisper some of the new words back and forth and Gwen latches onto that distraction about as hard as her good hand latches onto the arrow wound. ]
No! No, no. No. Those words aren't for you guys, okay? They're only for grown-ups. So don't say them.
[ She looks at the wound, looking at her blood covered hand with alarm and some nausea because that's her blood that's right there and that's a lot more from herself than she's ever seen in this kind of situation. Nodding at Renee's question, she tries flexing her fingers some. They move a little, but not a lit. Still, it's more than what they were doing before. ]
I'll be fine. Just...just fine and d-dandy.
[ God, this shit hurts. ]
Hey, what did you do with the arrowhead?
no subject
She gulps, but shoves her hand forward before she can clench it into a fist and either cut herself, or shatter the arrowhead with her strength. She offers it up to Gwen.]
Right here. Kind of a gnarly souvenir, I guess, but...yeah. Here you go.
no subject
[ She doesn't like how she got it, but where else is she going to find proof that she fought goblins and won? Nowhere. Taking the arrowhead, she looks it over, turning it carefully in her hand.
It gets pocketed a moment later, and Gwen turns her attention to Renee. ]
I'm gonna say this much for the whole goblins thing; if Jareth shows up, I'm kicking him in the junk.
[ She must be feeling better if she's referencing old movies. ]
Okay, I think I can feel my fingers again.
[ Giving them a test wiggle and...not a lot, but it's not as bad as before. ]
no subject
[Then again, Gwen's got something Renee doesn't; a healing factor. If Renee gets an arrow through her shoulder, her arm's in a sling for a couple weeks, and she already has a cast. She doesn't need anything else going wrong.]
I'll hold him down, hot old dude or no. [What, David Bowie was hot!]
Do you need me to hang out and hold them off for now? Cuz I can do that 'til you're good to go.
no subject
[ But...it's still an arrow-heard, and that's pretty cool. She laughs some when Renee calls David Bowie a hot old dude, wincing because laughing hurts her shoulder, and then she nods when Renee asks if she can hold them off. ]
I think it's a terrible idea to let the kids see me like this, so I'm going to do my best to stay out of their view.
[ Pointing at the treeline a bit away, she tells Renee where some of her web traps are. ]
If you can herd the goblins that way, I have a few traps that haven't been sprung yet.
no subject
[Renee thinks for a few moments, turning around a bit to look at the terrain and how it wends up to the treeline. It might be a little bit of a stretch, but doable in the end. She's picked up some jerky off the goblins--it's nasty, not her first choice, but if she needs food, it's at least marginally edible. This can work.]
Okay, one shield coming up! [It's so faint as to almost be a translucent pink, barely visible, but the goblins can ping off it if they come charging at it. Renee's shield will herd them straight into Gwen's traps...they can try to get around it, but the goblins won't manage it unless they're mounted. And Renee will at least try to buy time or pick them off if they do!]
