Re: Mainland (Rescue Isabella Event)
Soon enough Emily and Jonathan spotted something. It was a large run down mini fortress of sorts, that appeared to have been cut right into the side of a mountain. Two towers stood, one in extremely bad shape, almost to the point of being nearly impossible to still be standing. Beyond that, there seemed to be no immediate entry to the interior, save for what seemed like a small ditch leading under the ground. From the spot they were in, they could make out shapes moving about in patrol formations, but thankfully they were far enough away they weren't spotted. Unfortunately, they couldn't tell what the shapes were without getting closer.
Siphon shot a look over to Harrel.
"Fliers? Great. Just what I didn't want to hear. Ok uh ... let's see if we can confirm that ... hmm, well, let's hope I can still climb like this."
Grabbing into the side of a tree, he began to climb at an unnatural angle, hesitantly at first, then with more confidence as he seemed to realize it was working. Soon he vanished into the tops of the trees and out of sight.
For several long moments they waited, then suddenly there was a roaring, hissing type sound, followed by Siphon literally dropping like a lead stone and landing on his backside hard next to Elissia.
"Ow ... ok yeah, fliers. Gargoyles I think. Anyone know how to deal with those, cuz I sure as hell have never fought one."
About then the rest of the group would spot the first of the beasts, hovering and hissing as it prepared to attack them.
