PLOT: Refined Shell battle!

Who: Open!
What: Crustacean commotion. CRAB BATTLE.
When: 26th September, daytime
Where: Las Vegas, flooded area and surroundings
Warnings: Violence. If your thread requires more warnings, please note them in your comment header!


[ At eleven AM, a pulsing shockwave resonates throughout Las Vegas. Seemingly coming from somewhere deep underground, the ripple of force doesn't last long - but that doesn't mean that it isn't strong enough to make any nearby reincarnates stumble or fall.

The quake that happens soon afterwards is much stronger. Unlike the last, it seems to rumble on and on... until it reaches its crescendo with the emergence of a monstrous pink crabster from beneath the recently-flooded area of the city. A miniature tsunami accompanies the 300-foot behemoth, further damaging the surroundings not already levelled by the flooding and the quakes.

It doesn't take long for Refined Shell to get its bearings and begin its rampage. Everything within range can expect to be swiped at, stamped on or crushed between its pincers in its mindless rage.

You might say it seems to be feeling a touch... crabby. ]

Trust me, you won't.

[Because of the sword he was carrying, at least. It was the widest expanse of street they could possibly run on but--

As Killian gestured, his luck was bad and the crab had turned that corner.]

I told you!

[Killian promptly turns around and starts running the other direction]

I fuckin' told you my luck was shit!

Shit! [Arthur reached to raise his sword up, only then remembering the problem with that. The last time he did that, the crab bounced him through the street and his head rung for awhile after.]

Wait-- [He scooped up a fallen brick. Bouncing it once on his hand, Arthur leaned forward and hurled it at one of the crab's legs--to which the beast crumbled, stumbling and smashing into the pavement, going still a moment.]

Alright, run!

Way ahead of you!

[Metaphorically. Dwarves aren't very good at outrunning humans, though they can outright crustaceans!]

[Arthur followed at a bit of a slower jog, getting ready in case the crab decided it wanted a second round. It stood up just as Killian was passing, which prompted Arthur to grab a second brick and toss it at the leg it was using to ready itself.

It struck the ground again a second time--and that time it was definitely furious.]


...Woah, alright! Definitely gotta book it for sure, now!
