Canary

[teamposts]

[While your team tries to figure out what just happened (or waits for something to happen if they were already inside), great ghostly wolves form themselves out of the shadows and mist of the deeper forest. They set themselves down at the edge of the clearing your cabin is in, watching with hungry, predatory looks. These are no simple wolves either: they're huge creatures the size of a large pony.

The presence returns again, curious as ever. It pulls your attention to the wolves outside, as if it wasn't there already. Curious, curious, what will you do with them? There's a sudden, very distinct knowledge that they will attack. They will fight to get into the cabin unless you send them elsewhere. Of course . . . you could simply allow them to struggle against the defenses you've built up, but is it enough to hold them off? It doesn't seem impossible that they might break through . . . Will it be enough to hold off any other beasts sent to your team? If you start to wonder about what they'll do if they get in, an uneasy, heavy feeling of dread floods the area from the mysterious presence; it doesn't seem like it will be anything good.

What will you do?]

Yeah yeah, we're god damn saints. Get up in the rafters while you can, dude.

That's going a bit far... uh, isn't plan A to keep them from getting in?

Re: Make your choice

[asthecrowdies]

What are you going to do, stand in front of a door so when a half ton ghost wolf crashes through it you get squashed flat?

Re: Make your choice

[aibrou]

That's completely stupid! What the hell is your plan, anyway? I don't see you heading for higher ground.

Dude do you see these awesome feathery protrusions? Wanna time how long it takes you to climb a rope to get up there against how long it takes me to fucking flap once?

Re: Make your choice

[aibrou]

Dude, just get the hell up there -- you can give the rest of us a hand up onto the beams.

Re: Make your choice

[asthecrowdies]

Are you just being a pain in the ass because you can't climb a rope dude. Cuz you could just say so I won't leave you hanging.

Re: Make your choice

[aibrou]

Wha––hey! Of course I can!

[probably not well though ha ha ha]

Re: Make your choice

[asthecrowdies]

Ok let's see it.

I'm going to be keeping lookout down here and I'll hop up when the defenses fail. Believe me I am not sacrificing my delicious fat birdy tail to a bunch of douchey ghostwolves.

Looking out for what? Dust? 'Cause everything else we can see just fine from up there, y'know.

[TAKING THE ROPE THOUGH aw...kward..ly]

Re: Make your choice

Shut up.

Re: Make your choice

[catastrophies]

You know we got stuff you can train and practice on, right?

[climbed rope \o/ peering down]

That no-flying thing hasn't worn off yet?

Re: Make your choice

[asthecrowdies]

Nah. This I got til tomorrow on that one.

Re: Make your choice

[catastrophies]

Let's not bet your flying again.

Re: Make your choice

[asthecrowdies]

No shit. I feel a goddamn cripple, all floating near the ground like I still had legs or something. Jesus.

Re: Make your choice

[catastrophies]

If you let the wolves get you, you're more grounded than you are now!
