[QUOTE="Eluvan, post: 1855415, member: 24812"] The door opens inwards and the woman you saw below decks when you first came on board steps out, looking rather bemused. She has a spyglass in her hand and makes to pass it to Massif, opening her mouth to say something at the same time, when she notices the birds and her eyes widen in fear. [color=orange]'Oh, Gods.'[/color] She steps rapidly past the deck and cries out [color=orange]'All hands below decks! Seal the hatches after you!'[/color] The crewmen seem surprised and alarmed, but they obey quite quickly and make for the hatch, obviously trusting their captain's judgement. Turning back to the group, Dresda speaks in a more controlled voice, though obviously still worried and raising her voice to reach those not clustered around that area. [color=orange]'Ready your weapons. Does anybody have fire? These things aren't easy to drive off without it.'[/color] The birds are flocking ever closer, and you can start to pick out now what they look like individually.
