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.

[ Maglor nods ]

Whatever suits you, youngling. Ah, but here, I am being rude again - your pardon. Maglor, at your service.

[ And he sketches a brief bow ]

[A little bit of what might be one back, though it's short and choppy-]

[ Maglor doesn't mind, eyes crinkling in thanks that the effort is returned at all ]

Well met, then Master Kanji - although the circumstances are difficult the company is fine indeed. I will look forward to meeting you under more pleasant circumstances later, I suppose!
realmenknitplushies: (26.)

Heh. [Still not entirely used to hearing that kind of sentiment...] Yeah, you too. Guess I'll catch ya for training sometime?

[ Maglor bows a little with a smile ]

Aye, I imagine I will - be warned, that I am a harsh taskmaster!
realmenknitplushies: (* Face on)

[ A soft amused chuckle ] You have had fair warning - but I am fair, also, you will find. I will see you then, Master Kanji, and you may return the knife when I do. May good fortune find you this fight!

[ He salutes Kanji with his father's longsword and then turns to find another foe ]
