EVENT: HERE THERE BE MONSTERS

[initiatesnpc]

Date & Time: October 24 - October 31
Location: Throughout Exsilium
Characters: ALL; tag yourselves in
Summary: The Transports return from their mission to find the island crawling with monsters.
Warnings: Violence, possibly injuries (notify a mod if there's cause to add a particular warning!)

The Transports return from their mission to Medieval Russia, but the Initiative Hold is eerily deserted. Normally, their would be a number of Initiative personnel prepared to meet the Transports at the end of their mission for debriefing.

Instead, there is only silence.

That is, until a distant thumping sound can be heard. It is growing closer, and suddenly the beast is bursting into the room. It lets out a roar and charges. Within minutes, it is easily defeated, but damage has already been done -- it collided with the Transporter machine, which is now making a low fizzling sound and lets off a couple sparks. The commotion is enough to draw the attention of the few remaining Initiative personnel who still inhabit the Hold, who arrive immediately afterwards. They are able to tell the Transports two things: that the machine is broken and currently unable to sent anyone back in time, and that the island has been overrun with aggressive, mutated beasts sent by the United Earth. They have been under siege for months, with the island's population reduced to a mere fraction of what it had once been.

"It is not his death but his valor that we require," says Balder. When he says it, it sounds like a speech or a declaration--a side effect of being Asgard's king.

"Blind or deafen them, and they may be discouraged and retreat."

"I would still rather he not die," valor only meant so much when death could have been prevented.

She nodded and slowly ascended into the air. Enough of a show and perhaps they would get scared and run away. It was worth hoping at least.

"Then I will give them something to hopefully frighten them," she raised her arm and seemed, for a moment, to draw in the energy around her. "Judgment: Guilty or Not Guilty."

After her words the spell card was activated, from her sides red and blue streams of energy formed as she lowered her arm towards one of the closer creatures, in the direction she pointed a large stream of purple energy flew. It was only for a moment though, but that wasn't the end of it. Blue and red orbs were sent out around her, ready to hit any nearby monsters.
