Yuno

Yuno moves to the orange dragon and mounts up. She doesn't bother speaking to anyone, but anyone watching would see her, and both of her dragons, start flying to the north and east.

Castle folk

Anyone doing anything as Yuno flies off to check out the howling and thumping sounds?

Naivara looks at the others, "So should we send out additionap scouts?"

Kierro looks alarmed as Yuno and her dragons fly out. "If this hunting party is close, flying out and away from the castle is dangerous. Best-case, those of us who prefer ground fighting will be able to stand on the clouds while fighting. Worst case, it'll be there to keep us from being knocked out of the air. Either way, it's not wise to venture out from the safety of this structure for the time being."

He takes off, extending his wings and catching up to her. "Hey. I know you're bored; it must be an agonizing feeling. But I don't foresee a fight against this hunting party going well by yourself. They're probably expecting to stand up to all of us at once; the odds are slim otherwise. Please, come back to the castle and we'll prepare for when something happens."

“I agree, Kierro.  If they are hostile, facing them out there seems suicidal.   They will come to us if they want to fight.   Why bring the fight to them?”   Maril responds.  She remains on her dragon, stationed on the wall.  Her Amber dragon is circling about on patrol.  

"Emmy could send her illusory form out to scout around," Honor suggests. "It can pop up from somewhere other than here, and if it takes any damage or if she ends it it just disappears, so it'd be much harder to trace than a physical scout. Speedier, too."

“That sounds like a good idea” says Maril. “My own scrying abilities are more limited.”

((Sorry for the delay. My computer crashed T-T))

Yuno looks at Kierro a bit annoyed and says, "I'm not going to fight them... Aren't you the least bit curious what that pounding is? Should we not at least check it out? It could be nothing... or... it could be a war machine that will shoot the castle out of the sky."

The Howling

As you discuss the howling continues to grow louder, and the thumping sound with it. It is still heading South though, and is now about at a 2-o'clock position on a clock, from the 1-o'clock position when you started hearing it.

"Emmy, go ahead and go," Honor orders. "Start your illusion as far away from here in that direction as you can. Or back from the direction that we came if that'll misdirect better. I'll stay here with you, two squeezes on your shoulder mean I need your senses back here, otherwise, stay looking through your illusion."

Emmy

"Very well..." Emmy says. She sighs. "You know I don't like this... I have to stand so still for so long..." She grimaces but then goes still as she calls on her inate magic. It is the stillest any of you, other than Honor, has seen Emmy ever. She meerly breathes as she stands there, her constant figiting and pacing gone. It is a moment before she begins to speak.
"There are shapes, but too far away..." Emmy says. "Let me get closer... They are further away than I had thought." She pauses again as she is likely moving her other form closer. "Oh, it is wolves, with a man running with them. The man is making the thumping sounds as he runs. There is something strange about him though... Let me get closer..." There is another longer pause. "Um... those are not normal wolves... Their size made me think they were closer than they were... Oh, they have spotted me and are turning my way now. It is a large pack of wolves, with a six-armed giant running with them. The wolves look to be the size of dragons."

Kierro responds to Yuno: "Whatever it is... we're better equipped to deal with it back at the castle. Emmy mentioned a spell she had for scouting; it will allow us to be warned of the threat while preparing to challenge it in safety."

He gives a soft, concerned nod of his head back toward the castle. "Shall we?"

Yuno stares at Kierro for a bit and then returns to the Castle with him, clearly disappointed.

“Are they using Air walk or flying?   Anything else distinctive about the giant other than six arms?”   Maril asks

she tries to remember her reading about the gods of this world- did any have 6 arms and liked wolves?.. 27 religion.  

telepathically she asks her dragon about it as well.  

"We'll try and keep it brief," Honor reassures Emmy.

After Emmy's report, she squeezes Emmy's shoulder until she's sure Emmy can hear her, and repeats the questions to Emmy. "And about how far away? If you can lead them away great, but disappearing mysteriously is also fine if they get too close."

Maril

Maril cannot recall anything about a god that likes wolves and has six arms. Maybe she simply doesn't have enough information though, as she recalls several multi-arm gods, and several who like wolves, but none seem to fit exactly right, at least that she can recall.

Emmy

Emmy comes out of her image's senses and glances to Honor. "Oh, they seem to be running on the air, as if it is ground." She says with a glance to Maril. "I once saw a dog run off the side of a ledge, and watched it fall the couple feet to the ground, so surprised as its tiny legs churned in the air. These don't do that, they act as if there is ground under their feet as they run." She frowns. "Wonder what that would feel like, running through the air... I like flying better. Soaring is so much better than running. Would be better without the storm clouds, as I like to watch the ground as I fly over, it is so nice to see it moving past, as if you were simply floating in place and it is the ground that moves." She pauses as Honor gives her a meaningful glance. "What was i saying again?" She asks, looking around at those nearby. "Oh yes, they run on the air." She nods her head. "Now you want me to lead them away?"

 "Yes. Make it nice and confusing, have fun with it, but don't let them catch up with you."

Emmy

"Ok..." Emmy says as she closes her eyes once more. She is quiet for a bit, likely moving her image to start getting the wolves and the strange giant with them to follow the image. "Holy forked tails..." Emmy says after a bit. "That giant guy just doubled in size. he has to be like 40 feet tall now, if not taller..." She seems to concentrate for a bit longer. "Um... That guy is very fast... The wolves are falling behind, but that giant is actually catching me. I won't be able to stay away from it much longer..."

Castle Crew

As Emmy goes back into her image's senses you would all hear the wolves start howling as if they were after some prey. A bit later, when Emmy says something about the giant doubling in size, you would hear the rythmic pounding noise grow noticeably louder.

Raising an eyebrow in mixed curiosity and amusement as it seems that they are being hunted now, Leto looks to Morgan and says, "Take Saint with you and set up defenses." He then takes another sip of wine and a bite of his steak, taking the time to enjoy both, before blinking and appearing on the roof to join his entourage and have a look out for himself.

(You probably know this, Denn, but just in case, project image can move twice Emmy's normal speed.)

Honor squeezes Emmy's shoulder again. "Just lead him away. If he's going to grab you or attack you, just get out."

(Yep, that gives her a 180 speed, the figure is moving faster than that...)
