@Cerebrate  
the ballistas began firing on the biggest one, and kae doubled her efforts

@Jinx  
it took the blast… and kept going, the worm had sent one of its oldest beasts.
 
the flock was not all made of sterner stuff though, as a few of the lessers indeed fell to the arrows.

@Cerebrate  
archers were firing in the thousands of arrows, and ballistas too. Kae was targeting the biggest, sending superheated plasma at it

@Jinx  
a distorted Caw as they dive for the castle, intent on tearing it down and everyone in it to pieces.

@Cerebrate  
Shyanne: Archers! On the ready!
 
kae was still there, so she decided to help out with this.

@Jinx  
Elyssia, and the recently arrived Rabbit engineers were hard at work on the palace walls, there was not enough time to cover the circumference of the capital yet, but the castle would offer the populace safety, and would soon be put to the test as a murder of Banes was spotted heading directly for them.

@Jinx  
@EclecticInspiration  
(wondering if i’ll let this one be after that final confrontation and look to make a different story… it’s always possible to come back later after all.)

@Cerebrate  
(good-good)
 
@Jinx  
(A surprise; I half-expected a usurper. Nevertheless, she’s still got a fare share to do- had I known I were going to act as some “final boss” instead of a once or twice-off challenge, you’d’ve gotten a dedicated fighter without rot.)
 
(It’ll be a little bit until I get home. Lunch is over in ~10 minutes and I leave an hour after that.)

@EclecticInspiration  
(Shes intended to help you, not take the full burden.)

@EclecticInspiration  
(we’ll figure something out there.)
 
 
@Jinx  
she was right to be concerened, reports came in of marauding bands tearing the countryside asunder, not to mention apparently a plague had broken out to the east, no doubt the work of the worm.
 
@Jinx  
(i can just picture her and Agniya comeing to blows regularly what with their similar fighting style and the massive age difference.)

@Cerebrate  
(I don’t have to imagine it :P I can see it here and I’m really feeling it. It succ. It’s like being a parent.)  
%(speaking of being a parent, Nova still needs a daughter -_-)%
 
@Jinx  
(She looks good. Might finally be something to take this burden- my rat was never supposed to last this long, after all.)

Name: Kalia  
Age: 33  
sex: Female  
Species: Crocodile  
Appearance: [warning, NSFW] warning, NSFW  
About 7’6”, if shes wearing clothes at all she wears steel battle armor.  
Clan: Dragons  
Main way of fighting: a large hammer, or using her powerful claws, teeth, and tail.  
Notes: absolute powerhouse in battle, and extremely intimidating. Works alone usually. One will find her in the swamps or the dragon clans own hold.

@Cerebrate  
over all her forces were massive, and could hold the castle no matter the assualt, but what concerned her was the Uberhenge and its defenses

@Jinx  
with the bandot army arriving, and true to the agreement bending the knee, the capital was quickly locked down, warding stones being placed, temporarily at the insides of the city walls, elyssia would see about integrating them or carving wards into the walls, over time.
 
reports come in of a sizable strike force of the wolves, led by their prince thane, following the call. a troupe of the bears under Brun was also set to arrive shortly… finally a report that the rabbits had sent a force, though much smaller than would be expected.

@Cerebrate  
(Gnight love.)
 
Good. We need to mobilize the loyal army, the dragonclan is mounting full assualts soon, or so we believe.

@Jinx  
Matt: “i took the liberty of filling the throneroom with guards that agree he had to vacate the throne, in whatever way necessary. we’re with you.”
 
Oreo: “huh, kitty went all in betting on you, mylady.”
 
(and i gotta go now, good night everybody.)

@Cerebrate  
kae gently set the king down, her scar lit aflame in green fire, it attempting to heal quickly
 
Shyanne: guardsmen, i know the timing is odd, but i require you to enforce this change with me, then we may lay the king to rest fully.

@Jinx  
the impalement had done nothing to slow him and even with her magic his blade kept moving, the final shoves causing his blade to surge forward and barely avoid taking off her head, it would leave an impressive scar however.
 
the stones were doing their work, the king would die free of the rot, and bereft of his head. the guards were now surrounding them, but they were unsure what to do.
 
Matt: “the king is dead. his madness ended, and the wyld has aided the new champion. anointed by the wyld itself, Hail Queen Shyanne!”
 
now they sprung into action, namely their famed chest salute.

@EclecticInspiration  
(yeah, imagine authors have this with about half their roster all the time.)

@Cerebrate  
he was quickly impaled by her extra legs, her magic keeping the sword away. The wyldstone was shoved into his chest next, oreo running in and shoving the rest in as shyanne came from behind and lopped the lions head in two, then clean off his neck

@Cerebrate  
“She- what, she is? Ho boy…might not be the best time, then.”
 
(It makes a lot of sense. We know our characters better than anyone else could ever fathom. We know their past, their struggles, and how they’d handle certain things. It’s a level of intimate knowledge you’d never get with someone else, except these aren’t real.)

@EclecticInspiration  
Hargrave: “into the lion’s den right when your rival is moving there in force? hahaha, were i twenty years younger i’d yell horrido and join you.”

@EclecticInspiration  
(happens all the time, especially, to me, once i start giving a character depth.)

@Cerebrate  
(It’s embarrassing to admit but I’ve become quite attached to this character _)
 
“Wouldn’t feel bad going there and ending him, but for now, we wait until told otherwise. I feel tempted to head there anyways, just so we are ready, but I suppose that isn’t necessary…”

@EclecticInspiration  
“true enough, no doubt barnaby will waste no time running all the way to the capital with the story of what happened.”
 
@Jinx  
Tau: “the… rot…”
 
another growl as he staggers to his feet, then straightens up, Lion’s fang, a weapon without compare, raising into the air.
 
“will… take you!”
 
he lunged at her, before the surrounding kingsguards could even process what was happening.
