CHRISTMAS IN JULY, PART TWO;
Days 478-479 (July 13-16th)
Day 478 (July 14)
Following a network post announcing an impending attack by ice giants and Thiazi's declaration to the city, the fight begins when a small swarm of pixies descends upon the city, no more than eight inches tall and the definition of "glass cannons." They create chaos however they can: shaking snow onto people, carrying off weapons, and attacking directly if approached without an easy exit. Their teeth are curved like fangs and razor-sharp.

While the pixies stir the city up, the frost giants begin to load the golems up into the catapults. Two by two, the massive ice creatures come crashing - literally - into the city. They land hard and inaccurately, as the engineers' defenses on the city walls keep the giants from approaching too quickly, and some golems seem to be damaged already by the same defenses as they land. The pixies seem to lose interest around sunset (though you may find one or two hidden and sleeping in a snowbank if you look hard enough - they'll attack aggressively if woken), but the fights with the golems continue well into the night, until all in the city are dispatched. Where the pixies turn into snow, the golems transform into large hunks of ice after they are killed.

Day 479 (July 15-16)
At sunrise, the pixies ascend from their hiding places and scatter, doing their best to break into homes to attack people directly. Today, anyone who finds himself bitten will begin to feel and act strangely.

Ice golems continue to come crashing into the city throughout the morning. All of the original ones slain, Thiazi begins creating more on the spot: while they may be more numerous, they are weaker, and many have odd physical defects. Some are missing arms, and others have extra heads. Following an attack by the strike team, the number itself will begin to thin considerably as one of the catapults is damaged and the other is destroyed completely.

Just before sunset, Thiazi delivers a final message and makes a hasty retreat with her entourage of frost giants. The spell responsible for the odd weather breaks the moment that she passes the threshold a half mile out, and all remaining pixies and golems in the city immediately, mid-action, turn to snow and ice.

By midnight, the city is thawed completely.

Hey, I ain't judging. There's some merit to both. I don't use either. I like the feel of a blade in my hand.

Yeah. I want to clear this place up as much as possible.

See, this is something I've come to accept in you and others. You know the weapon that you prefer and you excel at that. [He grunted in approval.] Too few truly specialize in their work or master the arts of war.

[He motioned and started to head off down one of the streets, eyes peeled for anything, be it a golem or a fairy.] We'll have this area cleared of these creatures soon enough.

Would I mind being more adept with other things? Sure. Probably. But in tight situations, you aren't exactly gonna get leeway to learn those things while in the middle of a life or death situation. And my Bro probably knew that or he wouldn't have schooled me into it.

[Dave follows, glancing behind them often. If Equius keeps his sight forward, Dave will have their back.] I just kind of want them gone. And hopefully the weather will let up. I like to be able to feel my toes again.
alternia_strength: (Hmmm)

When the witch's assault concludes it should fade I'd expect. It's only ever like this when she's playing her little foolish games. [well, that and winter, but he thought of that as another of her games really.] Which direction do you think, left or right? I can't hear fighting from either just yet.

Why couldn't she have a power that wasn't starting the next ice age? [Dave sighs. He's mostly exasperated. With all the fighting, his body is pretty warm. He's still gonna complain about the cold though.]

Both. Either way we go, we're gonna be fighting.

Life is never that convenient. It really is never convenient. I am just glad I am not higher blooded right now. [He looked between two paths. Vris would have flipped a coin. He was more calculating. Closing his eyes, he listened for a second and then pointed to the right, setting off.]

I'm certain that I hear something large up ahead.
