Message: <blockquote data-quote="Gregor" data-source="post: 5436262" data-attributes="member: 11751">Kirio, Lars and Arnir**************You walk a few hundred meters away from the burning building where your other party members have stopped to save a woman from a burning building.  You near the gate to the next district: a large stone wall with a single arched opening protected by thick wooden doors banded with iron.  The doors are open and soldiers patrol the top of the wall.  More guards stand by the doorway and try to control the thick throng of civilians who are pressing to get through.  When you arrive, you find yourself quickly caught up in the throng.  Civilians push from behind you clamouring: "Out of the way!" and "Please, let me through!"  You all feel like you're being pressed into each other and look around nervously.  Guards cry out: "Make way! Be calm!  All will get through!" Suddenly, fear rolls across you and the mass of civilians.  Your blood runs cold for some reason and you feel like you're on the verge of panicking.  "Ilmater save me, what is that in the sky?!" you hear a voice cry out from the crowd.  You look skyward and hundreds of feet up, you see a great crimson shape with massive bat-like wings, a long tail and a wedge-shaped head on a long neck.  Each flap of its house-sized wings sound like the sail of a frigate in strong winds.  Suddenly: "ROOOOOOOAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRR!!!!!" A great bestial cry rips through the air.  It is the sound of power and ferocious intensity.  It is the primordial sound of a creature who has endured on this plane of existence for centuries.  It is the sound of terror and it has caused the civilians to scream in horror.As it flies out of sight, almost everyone in the crowd panics at the same time, screaming and tearing at each other to flee.  One soldier patrolling the gate wall jumps in terror and falls amid the crowd, being trampled to unconsciousness.  The throng pushes against you with the force of a river, threatening to grip you in its collective fear and toss you around like driftwood.Arnir, you stand your ground and face the fear, but Lars and Kirio are gripped by terror and panic.  They are carried away in the crowd, screaming for help.  [GM]Lars and Kirio, please make Reflex save vs. DC 15 or be trampled by the crowd, dealing 1d6 non-lethal damage[/GM] Alric, Bannock, Hrimr and Torrent*************************As you prepare the blanket and discuss your course of action, you hear a roar blast through the air.  You're too far away from the source to determine its origin and the smoky air blocks out most of your vision beyond a hundred feet or so.[GM]Once Bannock states his action (i.e. if he decides to assist with the plan to convince the woman to jump and then catch her with the blanket), we will play out this event.You are also a few hundred metres from Kirio, Lars and Arnir so you're unable to directly participate in their events.[/GM]</blockquote>
