[KQ] a tomb of your making

key quest

Samuel marches ahead,  magically holding aloft a burning piece of wood. It isn't a smart play, what with all the highly volatile baby ascended around. Speaking of highly volatile baby ascended, Mabel, Aamu, and @Azreal are right behind him. Next is Elide, crossbow ready.

Inside, Ezra is groping Mara, while Mara is trying to force Morgan to remain where she is. The abandoned just manages to free herself from the clutching fingers Mara, joining the group outside.

So focused on the monsters and making it to the jail, did anyone think to look up? To see what lit the building on fire, what caused the monsters to scream, what was making the horrible trilling sound?

Well, now that you have a clear view, this is what you shall see.

It's the Sparkbird. Because of course it is. Last year many promised to return it to its home in the Climb, if only it lent its light one last year. And did you? Did any of you remember?

Oh that's right. You didn't.

And now it is angry.

Sparks rain from the sky as the bird flaps its wings, sending bolts of lightning toward everyone below. The painful sparks fall upon all of you as a group, shocking your systems. Though the damage is the same across the board, for some, these shocks are worse than for others..
