And then there's what's gotten out. Black ligning, a living chimera of negative energy, dances about attacking

"Chieftain, how can we-" She starts to ask, but then her mouth snaps shut, suddenly business mode, and she swings her war axe at the chimera!

(Stamina roll for Linn)

/roll 4

The lightning discharge arches up her spine, making her nerves ignite in pain. But she also hurts it in exchange, the weapon she wields disrupting it's form!

She grits her teeth, feeling sparks between a couple fillings, and presses forward with her battle blade!

((Roll damage?))

(SUre,, let's try this Damage stuff )

/roll 10

The others join in, though to be fair, the Bridge and Mountain try magics instead. Fire erupts from Zane's fingertips to hit it, though it seems to do little. Hewwit takes the backlash as he too strikes

Power goes out all over the hold, cellphones die.. and are fried. Laptops pay the price

The Hollystrike from the Mountain hits it hard

The thing, already disrupted by Linn's first blow, seems ready to vanish entirely

She draws back her axe, then thinks for a moment, and STOMPS down on it with her full, considerable weight - and using boots that have heavy-duty rubberized soles and leather uppers. Much less conductive...

/roll 6 7 Dex + Brawl to hit

She stomps hard, too hard, as she misses the lightning nightmare, she dislodges a cobble stone and falls forward onto it with her body!

If she had dental fillings, she may need them replaced after this, as the full brunt of the thing crashes through her... and everything goes black

*****

She has odd dreams...

Dreams where she catches a Bouquet thrown by Bluebell, who was wearing a bridal dress, but then it lands in Linn's hands, and now Linn wears one. She's deleriously happy, and throws it to Nadeen... the baroness reaches, only to have Aiden's mouth open and bellow fire like a true dragon, ashes fall into the Varich's hands, and she looks PISSED! She dreams of Marigold with a light saber... no, a light steak knife, and saying "if you strike me down Marsellies, I shall come back with more recipies than you can possibly imagine" He slaps her with a rolling pin of red, and she crumbes leaving only chef's hat! An apprentice she does not recognize calls out "NO!" as Thistle in a Han outfit and A teary eyed Wookie Gwen pull her back onto the Millenium Kitchen.. She dreams of Blossom riding a giant eagle away from a volcano and said "Why throw a perfectly good ring? I know someone who will love it"

A drink ...wait, something wet against her lips? Yes, a drink, and she feels dry

She coughs, and seeks the liquid, something to whet her throat. Did she oversleep?

The liquid is cooling, and restorative. Her eyes open, and her thoughts find focus. Where is she?

"Did... did I oversleep? I had the oddest dream... a prophesy..." She coughs, and swallows, and opens her eyes.

"You're in the heal atorium" A boggan says, not who she expected, but then the fort does have folks who help who are locals . She is typical of the kith, roundiish, short, but with kind eyes "Or whatever they're calling it. At Darkgate. I'm sorry I couldn't help you more. I had to spread the spring magics through everyone's share of the water"

"Darkgate? DARKGATE! The Chimera - Hewitt - the gate!" She struggles to get to her feet.

It HURTS to try and she gets dizzy

She sinks to one knee. "I must..."

"Stop that" the boggan says "Oh trolls are the worst patients... it's too late. the fighting is over"

"Now lay back on your cot or I will cast ensnare on you and as weak as you feel you'll have trouble with it, mark me" A HURUMPH\

"Hewitt? And the others?"

She leans back onto the cot, ashamed that her legs wobble from just that small motion.

"Oh I won't lie, a lot of folks are hurt, but the Chief's injuries are minor compared to yours. It's the Storm who..well, you know there is a trod, not directly to here, but nearby? It.. spewed forth a pretty nasty monster. But the storm and his crew fought it off. Then things went silver again"

She closes her eyes in relief. "Don't waste further energy on me. I can cast Heatherbalm, once my head stops spinning..."

"I'll get you some dross" She offers "We can charge it to Silverwolf's tab" She might be joking "Oh, don't bother trying to use your cellphone. Connection is down for over a mile"

One pooka nurse nearby mutters "It's like we're freaking Amish"

And she realizes, with even land lines down, she can't report!

She pulls out her phone anyways, checking for signal even though she knows it's down.

"I need to check in with Silverwolf..." She mutters.

Dead as a door nail, to quote Dickens

the Boggan says "They'll just have to wait a bit, dear. I'm sorry"

"Then show me to any walking wounded." She insists, stubbornly. "I might be dizzy, but bring them here and I can lay a healing on to tide them over. I cannot simply sit by. You understand?" She appeals to the boggan's better nature.

"You can in fact simply sit" the boggan says then hmmmph "But given how you and the Chief clearly feel about each other, I can see how your'e invested"

Damn boggans

Her cheeks go purple.
