the dragon descends
He could feel how it hated him. How it hated Kavinsky, too. How it hated the world.
It was so hungry.
OOC Log Date: Feb 1, 2016Timeline of Events
IC Event Date: Feb 8, 2016 (morning), backtags encouraged
Gamewide Accessibility: Mostly closed to CR (or CR of CR), see below for details
Character Death: No
Warnings: Spoilers for The Raven Cycle, violence and potential injury, vague psychological and self-harm themes
Similar to canon, Kavinsky is going to manifest a dragon made of smoke, fire, and hatred out of his dreams. Though within the destructive limits enforced by the gatekeepers of Eudio, its malice and incredible physical durability mean that it poses a real threat to anyone that it comes across.
The primary targets of the dragon's wrath will be Kavinsky's existing CR and Kavinsky himself. However, if those individuals happen to be near others, they may share the threat. Additionally, out-of-control fires are a real possibility. The NPC sorceress Cornelia, of the Eudio representatives, will promptly begin efforts to protect the people and property of the city and to deal with the threat directly. However, Ronan Lynch will persuade her to allow he and Kavinsky to handle the destruction of the dragon itself. In the meantime, the dragon will make a series of short stops around Eudio to terrorize people, before it pursues Kavinsky in earnest. Some of these people may be fortunate enough to receive a warning before the monster arrives!
With use of taunts, attacks, and redirection, participating parties will lure the fire dragon to Benson Park. There, it will meet its doom at the lake, where a different dream monster awaits it. The fire dragon will be killed by Ronan Lynch's secret Care Bear stare.
Afterward, Kavinsky will face disciplinary action and give up his powers for a yet-undetermined length of time. Other IC Consequences are welcome, including the throwing of rotten fruit, hatemail, and murder attempts.
Roleplay Hooks
If you have CR with Kavinsky or any of the other characters noted as involved, feel free to join in. This plot is not completel open to the public, in the interest of limiting the scope of the threat and preserving the game's focus on consent (i.e., otherwise Cornelia would simply take over). However, if you'd really like to pop in and you either don't meet the above criteria or aren't sure if you do, shoot me a pm at

pillz. We might be able to use more heroes/rescuers.Participating characters will be attacked, rescue or be rescued, outwit the monster (it's not that smart), fight fires, or heal the injured.
This plot will begin and end ICly on February 8, between 7:00AM and 12:00PM/noon. However, the log may be posted earlier and forward dated. Backtag as long as you and your partners would like. I'll put out starters for 1) dragon NPC requests and 2) finale at Benson Park. However, this will also provide an open space for people to RP out fighting the dragon, fire-fighting fires, and rescuing or helping one another. It can also have space for hospital care and so on in the aftermath. I'm happy to NPC the dragon. Just let me know!
Monster 'Stats' Characteristics
The dragon is characterized by monstrous size (almost 30 feet including the tail), flight, teeth and powers related to fire. It is strong and heavy enough to crush a single car with focused effort. Although it does not fatigue like a normal organism, it requires up to a few minutes to recharge and refocus between such full-out assaults. Despite its form, the dragon does not actually breathe fire. However, its body is in a perpetual state of combustion, which means that anything dry and incendiary enough will catch fire. Burning will continue as natural even after the creature has left.
It is extraordinarily durable against assault, due to the fact that it has both limited corporeal substance and magical resilience. Cold, water, and power nullification will create visible damage, whereas assaults of other types of energy and physical trauma will temporarily weaken it and eventually send it away.
Generally, it as a horrible attitude. It can't talk, but it can make shrieky burny noises.

RESCUE ME
haha i guess im the only one here
- Fire dragon dives, everyone scatters, brief Jack vs fire dragon battle?
- Eponine distracts/wards off the fire dragon with Kavinsky's pistol
- Ronan and Kavinsky try to summon Alanis, their dragon
- Ronan saves Kavinsky from fire dragon, very near miss
- Alanis the dragon finally arrives at some point or we're all doomed
- Jack and/or Jack's dragon force the fire creature down toward the water to fight Alanis
I hope this isn't too exact/rigidly planned for your tastes, there should be enough room for fancy power stunts and action hero moments. If you have objections, pls reply/PM me, otherwise there's no strict need.RESCUERS
Note, if you don't have a cool idea for a power stunt or something, make a note of it here too. I will give you my ideas. :)

"there are gonna be some secondary fires going around so i feel like wylan could be helpful controlling some of those with his cleverness. macguyver some awnings down to put out fires, maybeeee figure out how to ID a construction truck containing ... idk, mixed concrete or something in it? bloop on the dragon?
that could def do some damage the critter would definitely be all "motherfucker no" and get out of there p quick if somebody dumped concrete on it tbh"
I'm offering this one for those purposes and wondering if anyone would be interested in assisting him in either firefighting enterprises or dumping concrete on the unholy offspring of fire and death itself. The second one would require a character pointing out the truck/equipment in the first place, because Mr. YA Fantasy here does not have experience with all these newfangled transportation vehicles and the like.
ADDENDUM: It might be good if he teamed up with someone who has the wherewithal/skills to get both of them out of the vicinity as well, because anything Wylan cooks up might be just as dangerous to them as the dragon. So he might need rescuing just as much as anyone else.

We could have an amazing Disney moment of the dogs helping with the plan too?! Idk. Hi.

In summary, yes please!!

If you're game, I'd volunteer Derek for attempting to rescue Caleb (game for including Wylan too!) then probably needing some healing because superman, Morgan is not
no matter how often he jumps buildings and tackles trains in canonno subject
And that would be awesome, COME RESCUE THESE IDIOTS. And then let Caleb heal you with his blood (gross)
no subject
No matter how amusing that'd be. And terrible, I mean. Gosh. Would I be right in assuming we start off threading and Derek joins in? Or should we establish a tag order?

Re: RESCUERS
I'm happy to swoop! It's not always bad ^_^

Elsa seems to be a great candidate for these shenanigans. In a stitch, especially when aggravated, she can build ice walls and domes / shoot shards of ice / and generally make a frosty mess of things. I'd be happy to have her protect buildings/crowds of people/a single person. Given that they have met and she will be targeted as well, she'll most likely shield herself first.

you guys should pop in within the next couple rounds. If you want me to comment again when there's the perfect opening, I can, but I think even if you come in now-- and delay the dragon's pounce, that'd be fine!
