Message: <blockquote data-quote="Plane Sailing" data-source="post: 158258" data-attributes="member: 114">As Trajan, M’ir and Anne-Marie reach the top of the scree slope at the base of Steeple Mountain, they can see a stream of people moving out from the town towards the woods and the Old Mine.They make their way through dark and somewhat quieter streets than normal for this hour in the evening until they are almost within sight of the Wyrmcall plaza when disaster strikes. Rounding a corner, M’ir walks almost straight into someone. While they start bluffing their way away from the man there is a sudden flare of blue light from the sack holding the dragonstone crystal which is mirrored by a flare of blue light in the eyes of the man talking to them!What is worse, the dozen or so people that they can make out in the plaza all turn to face them with eyes blazing sapphire blue too! A voice issues from a dozen throats at once“YOU you MUST must SERVE serve ME me NOW now!”“Quick!” says Anne Marie “Run for the tower, I’ll hold them off”“FOOLISH PLAYTHING plaything” the voices chant “GET BACK IN YOUR CAGE cage!”Anne Marie charges towards the group of four townspeople who are between them and the tower and is promptly grappled by the group of them working together. The others speed past her to the belltower door – it is locked!Back at Anne Marie, she wriggles free from the group surrounding her and then spins into a blur of action – fists and feet lash out in all directions and she is surrounded by four unconscious townspeople.Whirlwind attack at its best!At the belltower Trajan is having difficulty battering the door down – his feet must keep slipping on the frosty ground because he is not getting anywhere, and all around the square more and more townspeople are lurching quickly towards them, eyes blazing blue. Lysander had managed to take many out of the town square with his urgent message to meet the rescuers of the children, but now women and children are coming out of their houses and men hurry into the square.Over it all the voice of the dragoncrystal is heard loud and clear from a hundred throats“KNEEL! KNEEL AND SERVE ME me!”“MY GLORY SHALL BE COMPLETE complete!!”“YOUR LIVES ARE MINE!!! mine!! mine!”</blockquote>
