STORM RITUAL - LILY

[crittersheep]

[Your Barn seems to fall away to the sides, and you find yourself in a deep valley of flowers, mostly of the nightshade variety. There doesn't seem any way out but up--a steep cliff you have no hope of climbing on your own. But why would you want to leave?

Well, the wolves probably. And not just any wolves--they resemble Bea, but without her mask, and they all laugh and laugh, so happy to keep you trapped, to torture you. Occasionally one zips forward, slicing you with knives, before rejoining the others, giggling and gossiping about how they'll slice you all up nice and slow. Even if you heal yourself, one cuts you again. Well, this might make thinking difficult.]

[You see visions floating in the air, demonstrating what other flocks are dealing with.]

THE OTHERS

[crittersheep]

[You see visions floating in the air, demonstrating what other flocks are dealing with.]

A voice rings out: Lily can save only one. Who?

[DAFFODIL is surrounded by a pack of One-Eyed Gorgon wolves, with the threat of being turned to stone the longer the wolves have them trapped]

[BLUEBELL is in the middle of an open field, but Minuet's arm seems to be warping into a horrible weapon of sort, threatening to blow them all up soon. Possibly the others could run, but how far will they truly get. . .?]

[CLOVER is in a graveyard, surrounded by a horde of zombies. They don't seem to have anywhere to hide.]

[PEONY seems to be on a rapidly deteriorating platform over molten lava, with two other platforms to their side. Only one can support their weight though...]

[ROSE is surrounded by snakes and mongooses, each threatening to tear the other animal, and the flock apart.]

[THISTLE is trapped in an icy room, looking sicker and sicker as time goes on.]

[mykidisthebest]

[tries to throw up his shield only to find out that it doesn't work. great. cool.

well, throws up his arms instead and kicks the closest wolves back. if flock powers are ON that means he still has super strength, which isn't nothing]

Oh for crying--Get behind me. Charon, can you send anyone a message--?

Re: DISCUSS

[endsjustified]

It's not working.

Re: DISCUSS

[endsjustified]

[HEY LILY

your shepherd has a few seconds to react to the scenario and then he just

drops dead on the spot for no apparent reason

(very observant parties may see it happens at the exact same second Minuet in the Bluebell hologram does. F)]

[ Lily chooses Lily!! ]

Re: ANSER

[wooliefrand]

[You have chosen!



Nothing changes. The giddy wolves come at you, slicing away more flesh.


You may choose another for r2. Which is now. DISCUSS]

ROSE

[wooliefrand]

[AND THEN ROSE APPEARS. Just before Lily is whisked away to their next location, Rose's powers activate automatically.

Vines sprout from the plentiful flowers in and surrounding the valley, wrapping around them, and carrying them up to safety. The wolves persist though, ready to give chase--before their emotions get the best of them. The Rose spell increases their fear and anger, turning them on each other, causing them to hack and slash without mercy, until not one of them remains.

You are at peace.]

[WHEEZE]

[she is at peace, sitting in her little cup of vines that she didn't have to summon by herself]
