Once the trunk was a fair few logs and the leafy top Jim plopped his pack down in front of him, whipped a few knives of varying sizes out, some of which looked like toys in his hands, and started whittling away. Stripping the bark off before digging into the wood behind it, moving his large hands with more precision than one would think possible of such a large man, his face a happy smile. He worked fast, setting each finished figurine down next to him on it's little wooden base. The first one depicting a couple holding hands, the second a slumbering beast, the third showing a Floran poised to strike, the fourth still taking shape in his hands.

Jim finished up the fourth carving, a beautifully crafted spear made to match the Floran, he set that one down just next to the beast, Completely immersed in his work. Jim moved on to the third log and began carving a set piece larger than the others, his smile turned into a concerned frown, his eyebrows pulling together. He worked through this one slower than the others, switching from one knife to another after just a few strokes each. It looked to be a homey log cabin, the inside of it slowly taking shape, every now and then Jim would stop to observe his work before whittling away more wood. Any keen observers would be able to see a main room with two large chairs, what appeared to be a leather floor mat and fireplace.

Well, whips it towards mayor guy. (08-24-2016, 02:07 AM)OdinYggd Wrote: "You make this look easy." Danu smiles, charging forward with her shield out and her sword ready to strike. She attempts to bash the one nearest to her with the shield, before following up with her sword making a J-shaped sweep to avoid its defenses and make sure her blade would rip into it. The construct gets stunned by the initial bash, and is then cleaved in half by her light blade. A nearby clawed one focuses its attention on Danu, lunging toward her only to get intercepted by a glaive strike from Umbra. "They're fairly weak, but keep in mind that there's power in numbers."

Each voice is different and speaks of many things, but a few stand out among the rest... Help! I can't break free! As soon as the siphoning is complete, however, the whispers would disappear.

The short form of a blue glow[/color] eyed avali bursting into sight from nothing. It does not make any actions, staring straight forwards, no purple crystals mar it's form, only milky white shards of rounded opal, though they each resonate the purple energy. It stands there soundlessly. // No, he wouldn't. Neither did I. One of the sworded constructs notices the newcomer and gains a voice.

The patches of unknown purple energy that appeared on the ground rupture into full-on blasts, but don't break the ground. Nobody was unlucky enough to be standing in one when they ruptured, but a few of the constructs weren't so fortunate, disintegrating almost instantly when caught in the blasts. A few more 'patches' appear on the ground. It appears the 'head' of this fight is channeling them. More constructs appear on the scene to replace the fallen; there are now 8 constructs, half armed with blades and the other half clawed.

The Avalian construct took no action to the apparent threat of another assaulting it. Though it opened it's mouth, and no words came out, none took shape. And then another crackle of energy, as if on a 6 second lag. "Release us, release us, release us." Repeated thrice, sounding a bit close to home as far as the remnant. Nothing came of it though. Simply stood there as the the purple glow of the opals was slowly cleaned, fading to a blue tinted white, and with it the visible spark of sudden recognition and sapience. Leaping back, as if in a panic almost to run back first into Umbra, blue tone deepening to fill it's entire form. Finally speaking with a voice of crackling energy. "Where- AHH! My..." It flickered for a moment, and then unreadable text splashed across the air around it, familiar and unfamiliar runes to some. "Why?" The air directly around it began to flicker and crackle with it, but still nothing happened as it glared at the figure that hung back farther from the action that had begun, and across the crystals that covered them. "Not you again..." And then the phrase "Behold! The power of friendship!" Was spoken. And he just stuttered slightly, caught off guard, "Bawahh." Looking over at Danu to finally notice who else was there and wincing slightly looking away. //No I am not trying to add a past to your story. It's just the previous time there was a run-in by him with the Remnant which he is referring to. When Umbra was there. |
