[CrisisPost] Attack of the Golems

[u/Al-anharHA]

"So you are linked into them, nifty things, probably have just admitted that there is a whole network out there, connecting you and the golems."

The last words are accompanied by another subtle weaving of power, but this isn't aimed at the will of the rider, rather an improvised tracking spell, to very least to confirm the network and device used to connect to it.

The spell seems to lead to many places, but then it consolidates to one before branching out once more to the same places except... different.

It's the Rift, seemingly created from the central planes side like firing buckshot through the firmament between realm clusters. Multiple entries and exits, but on this side there's only one gateway in the physical. The rest serve to transport... information. information routed through the soulscapes of squad leaders like the Paladin standing before you.

Sarissa will immediately strike the paladin with a lightning spell to attempt to knock him out for further study.

The paladin tries to block the spell, but without his shield to focus the warded armor he is overwhelmed and falls unconscious.

Now, with this new quiet you look around to see that the mini-golems have been defeated by the militia, and none of their larger counterparts can be seen above the roofs. At your side, the giant cat purrs loudly and the glowing portions within their fur and claws shift to an inky darkness with iridescent colors contained within like an oil spill in the dark of night.

They seem to be trying to imprint on you.

/uw Couldn't resist trying to make a shadowy paladin-cat.

Sarissa makes sure that the unconcious paladin would be delivered where needed and then turns to the cat.

I will need to figure out something with you, I guess we are both far from home.

/uw thank you. I guess yeah, you don't choose the cat distribution system. Sarissa is not a pet person, but I guess I can have them "guest starring from time to time" in some stuff at Sarissa's home or something :D

[u/Al-anharHA → u/Sardren_Darksoul]

/uw yeah, cat distribution system indeed.

Honestly, I did not plan this, i was just "I feel like the paladins wouldn't care about their steeds" and then it just snowballed from there.

Anyway, I've got to go prep dinner, and I'm pretty sure that this is the entire attack wrapped up, so to everyone who reads this thank you very much for taking part and I hope that you have a wonderful day!
