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!

Manabu gets a distant look on his face as he frowns, trying to remember the full description of what a 'goblin' is in this world. Definitely not what he remembered from morning cartoons as a kid...
"Well, it's a bog, right? There might be a way to get some good mud traps going, so no one has to really go toe-to-toe with anyone."
no subject
Gauig was dry and dusty, she couldn't imagine a bog. She knew what one was but it was hard to see it in her head. She was sure she would know, soon enough.
And anyway to fight the goblins that wasn't face to face sounded good.
no subject
"Like normal traps. Just in mud."
Probably not helpful, is it? He goes on with a bit of a laugh in his voice.
"I just mean...it'll be good to take advantage of sticky ground, while keeping yourself up above it. Keep to the high ground, slow opponents down below, get 'em tangled up. If there's a lot of trees and such, using the ropes to trip them up and keep them stuck will be good. You got lots of teammates to help with something like that, right?"
no subject
She nodded, "I do be having. We will be coming up with something."
She would have to see the land first, she was struggling to imagine it.
no subject
Really -- that's a relief. It's one thing to ask a kid to ferry annoying little birds, but quite another to ask them to square off with actual hostiles? Sentient hostiles? It's not right. The fact she's not got a say in it is actually really frustrating, but it's not something meant for her to hear him fuss about, especially not now.
"If the rest of the purple-shirts and I can get everyone out fast enough, I'll come give you a hand, alright?"
no subject
"I might be seeing you then, but if no I will be seeing you after."
no subject
"Be careful out there, okay?" he calls over his shoulder, heading out.
no subject
She moved out of the way, so she didn't get caught up in the Orange Team leaving the train.
