The Battle for Caldera

[bravenewmods]

The time for action is at hand, and the players have been set in place. Those who choose to make an attempt at diplomacy head off at the appointed time to meet with Valeria, the clerk and representative of the general who leads the Gigas army. Those who wish to take more direct action against Gigas leave with General Ironbrand to put their plans into motion. In the meantime, the refugees continue to stream into Union, while supplies are gathered and flow the other way.

The outcome of this war may very well depend on the combined results of these four efforts…

((This log will be a catch-all for all four efforts of the attempt to save Caldera. There will be four different parts of this post: Diplomacy, Aggression, Refugees, and Supplies. The first two should be well established, but the Refugees portion will encompass bringing those in Caldera who require help to Union and giving them medical aid and care, while the Supplies portion will encompass people in Union setting up shelters and gathering resources to send back to Caldera, as well as other miscellaneous tasks that may be of help. Gathering resources may entail leaving Union to explore out in other areas. You all signed up for groups, so please try to maintain these groups when posting, particularly to the Diplomacy and Aggression sections. The other two may be more free-form.

Mods will be responding at least once every 24 hours to keep the logs moving.

EDIT 5/31: Please try to group up if possible! We'll generally try to wait for threads to have 2-3 people before we jump in. Threads with 3+ may attract the attention of something a little more... interesting.))

[With all the skill expected of a crafts-mon, Jonesy works quickly and efficiently. Soon enough, she has created a sturdy, long skiff for Lea. The bottom isn't as smooth as it could be, but the sandy streets of Caldera should make him easier to drag.

She gestures to Lea, chirping insistently. He has to go ON the skiff, now! And she's not strong enough to do it herself! She grabs his legs and chirps again]

[ Roxas continues to give the materials necessary to finish it until it is finished. And once Jonesy gestures to Lea he nods and teleports right over to his friend and grabs his arms. Okay. Ready to lift when you are. ]

[1, 2, 3, hup! By their powers combined, it's not too hard to lift Lea's wiry frame onto the skiff. Jonesy fusses over him and wraps him to the sled with more silk, just so she knows he won't slip off. Then she lashes his ankles together. She sits for a moment, making three ropes of silk, then ties those to Lea's feet. She hands one to Roxas, one to Sora, and keeps one for herself. ]

Vaaaa!! Nnnyy!!

[she points to the tower, just a few blocks away. They have to hurry! Time to pull!]

[meguriau]

[ Roxas and Sora both take the respective ropes that they've been given and Roxas nods his head. Sora? ]

Syl sylvv!

[ Sora responds the best he can with voice before the two of them start pulling towards the tower as quickly as they could. In the meantime, Sora will keep his ears perked and alert in case anyone dares to try and come at them while they're working their way to the tower. ]

[then off they go! The skiff makes a pretty awful grinding sound against the road, at first, but then it seems to find its stride and slides easier. From there, they should be able to reach the tower easily]

[meguriau]

[ Good because even though this is fairly easy getting all the way to the tower was still a lot of effort for poor Roxas. Boy really needs to get out there and exercise after this. ]
