To the southwest of the Salt Sea, a unique experiment in tolerance is doomed to choke upon ashes.
The turtle-men, the <span class="mu-i">Nkume Mbe</span>, had long ago welcomed Intulo immigrants from the Salt Sea and human immigrants from the south pole. The small town of Alabaṣepọ had thrived for generations – a multi-species council had arisen there, jointly managed the town’s affairs, and in the relative isolation of their corner of the world, the citizens of this place had been happy.
Fyr, the great flame-hound, knows nothing of this as it bounds through the small town. The acts of bravery between friends and neighbors, as they seek to save one another’s lives, are completely ignored. Fyr’s only concern is the complete destruction of this place – and as an ancient fragment of a much larger conflagration, he is driven to see it done. Turtle-men, humans and Intulo pull together in one final act of defiance – instead of seeking to save the town or attacking the enormous fire-beast, they instantly fall together and begin evacuations. Trickles of citizens begin fleeing in organized groups, with even the heavy-footed <span class="mu-i">Nkume Mbe</span> sprinting as best as they can.
Only a few hundred pink-skins, <span class="mu-i">Nkume Mbe</span> and Intulo escape into the waters of the Salt Sea… and can hardly contain their terror, as the brightly-colored Anthozaur rises from the deeps without warning. With the burning city behind them, and a new monster before them, they flail in the water – and wait too long to make their choice.
Fyr, having reached the center of Alabaṣepọ, begins to howl – and with it, the flames are called to action. A firestorm erupts outwards from the town, turning it to cinders, boiling the waters of the Salt Sea, and killing the evacuating survivors instantly – the dream of their miracle town gone forever…
Fyr’s turn rolls: 3,3,1
Action 2: STR (C>B) VS STA (D- Alabaṣepọ)
Action 3: Firestorm initiation (C>D) VS STA (D).
Two auto-successes! Alabaṣepọ is destroyed! Fyr receives 4 Amanzi-aligned Amandla, bringing him to 1U, 4A / 3! Fyr reaches the “Destroyer” milestone and may trigger a Size upgrade at the cost of a full turn.
Meanwhile, Fyr’s firestorm spins outwards and begin to scorch the hide of Anthozaur! Reacting quickly, it dives behind the waters for a brief respite to collect itself for its next action…
Fyr’s Firestorm rolls (N/A) vs Anthozaur’s rolls: 2, 1, 2
Action 1: STR (D) VS STA (E) – Firestorm autosucceeds against Anthozaur’s passive STA, causing one damage! Anthozaur is now at 2/3 HP!*
Anthozaur, sorry friend – you arrived on R19 just in time to catch Fyr’s firestorm to the face, and didn’t roll well enough to avoid damage!
