All the details you need are here, so read up on it. This didn't get mentioned before, but you can tag the cultists instead of killing them. Details on this are on a previous draft post. Using the scanners are optional!

There will be a thread for interacting with NPCs, but they may not all go up at once, so keep an eye out for them.

Note: A log for the events in the village will go up on the 21st, in time for the hurricane and droid incursion.

[Norma's still a little bit stunned that her precious master turned out to be only a false illusion, a trick done by the Third Party soldier. She looks distressed, horrified by the truth that she sees, and only barely manages to stumble out of the way of another close attack, putting up her guard in case of another. Her mind is still racing, making the ache from being struck throb more and more. The pain, the grief, the fury she feels is blinding, and before she knows it, she's dashing forward, first reared back, and slams it hard into the face of the soldier.]

You dirty, son of a bi--!

[Her curse is cut off by the sound of her fist meeting flesh and bone (Norma's got a decent striking arm) as well as the sound of another agonized yell when Grune's spell strikes again. Sven's voice, his face, his arm reaching out for help... Norma freezes. She goes rigid, eyes wide, and doesn't move quick enough to avoid being thrown away by her mast--...no, by the soldier out of desperation and anger.

No. No, no, no, no, no. She is not going to be beaten by this fake - this impostor posing as Sven. Not in heaven or hell is she going to let that trick fly. It's anger that drives her to her feet, despite the blood rushing down from her head wound, the ache in her chest and coursing through her wings and back. She doesn't care anymore - this guy has to pay. It's time for some serious action.]

Originate....BLAZE!

[Grune stops casting her next spell to watch as light pours onto the soldier, so many beams drilling forth and pinning the enemy in place. They are completely blotted from view by the power of Norma's eres. Then, an explosion fills her sight, its heatless brilliance dazzling her.

She blinks and blinks again to force the spots from her eyes and calls out:] Norma?

[Had she known her friend could do that?

More importantly, is Norma all right?]

[Dust floats around the area where the soldier once stood, the ground charred, cracked, and blackened. Norma herself is breathing heavily, her knees wobbling from the sheer effort of having to keep the girl up. She'd never used a spell like that before, not since she was given her sacred eres by the Calm Nerifes back on Melfes. Norma had never once had a reason to use them - she had never met an enemy large or strong enough, or had never deemed it worthy to use such a strong spell.

Needless to say, the spell was strong, but unrefined, untamed. Her body was already weak and fatigued from the attack, but now - after releasing such a spell, Norma cannot keep herself conscious anymore. The adrenaline wears thin, and she falls from the sheer exhaustion and damage she took, blacking out even before she hits the ground. She's so tired...so, so tired. And everything hurts. Everything.]

[With the soldier dead, the barrier dissolves. Grune doesn't pay it any mind at all. It isn't important.

She coughs a little with the dust, trying to see where Norma is. Movement catches her attention, and she's just in time to see Norma collapse.]

Norma!

[Grune runs to her side, not even noticing the way the sounds of battle are now present and loud in her ears. All her attention is focused on her best friend.

She drops to her knees, and--thank goodness. She's breathing. She's just taking a little rest right now. She's going to be all right.

...Her injuries look bad, though. She'll need to take her to a clinic right away.

She pushes as much of Nala's power as she can into Norma to at least start the healing process, and then, with so much care, she scoops the girl into her arms. She's going to get Norma to safety, no matter what.

And heaven help anyone who stands in her way.]
