Message: <blockquote data-quote="Keia" data-source="post: 1483479" data-attributes="member: 98">On the Street, Cobblestone TownP7X – 91226 minutes since arrival, June 3, 2003None of the team on the surface had any experience on just how long it would take for the growing dark cloud to flow through the town.  The swarm grew on the horizon and seemed to inch its way closer and closer to the town.  The buzz from the cloud grew louder as well and was identifiable as thousands, perhaps millions of beating wings.Stewart quickly passed the word up to Donovan and Reed, both of whom hadn’t needed to hear it to start their way down.  Reed was already down and through the second story window before Stewart whistled.  Accepting the handed gun from Donovan, Reed held it and the heavy fur aside so that Donovan could climb down as well.  His foot missed its purchase on the sill of window briefly, but Donovan managed to gather himself and get through without incident.Jeremiah started back the way he had come, hustling down the street and back into the large central square of town.  Durant followed closely behind and Stewart was midway between Durant and Donovan who was almost 90 feet behind Durant.  Reed followed closely behind Donovan.“I hate storms . . . and I absolutely hate bugs,” Reed commented to Donovan as they hustled. “I figure this is probably a bad time for childhood fears to kick in, huh?”Arriving at the main square, the team noted that it was well over a hundred yards on a size.  The courtyard had a single large statue of something biped in the middle and several large four or five story buildings surrounded the courtyard itself.  The statue was of a biped, mostly humanoid. The humanoid was heavily muscled and had many human features . . . though there was something odd about it. Either the sculptor was particularly bad . . . or the humanoid had thick broken skin, no ears, and extra skin covered the nose and eyes. Hair was apparent on the head and most exposed area but didn’t hide the broken skin. Clothing was sparse - a one piece covering its chest and pelvis. It appeared to be gesturing skyward with one six fingered hand with the other palm up and outstretched. The outstretch hand had nothing in it . . . and was also twenty feet off of the ground.Durant could identify a figure standing on the steps of the building Jeremiah was heading toward.  The humanoid looked large, much larger than a human.  In fact, he looked a lot like the statue in the courtyard, though the humanoid was pointing at the cloud.  Neither Jeremiah nor Durant could make out the words he was saying.OOC: Donovan, Durant, Grayson, Reed, Stewart</blockquote>
