[EVENT] Whups, was that your tower?
[Late Monday evening, the sky grows dark. There's roaring and flames coming through the cloud cover, and then...]
[A lot of crashing and smashing, as a few towers go down in a lightning-raid by a giant, firebreathing lizard. The central tower is swiftly in rubble, bits of ruined tower are scattered across the courtyard, and as quick as it's come, the dragon is flying off.]
[Except, there's something in its claws. Kanda, I hope you had your Blackberry on you, because if you didn't, the damsel in distress bit is going to be that much more obnoxious.]
[Not long after that, there's the ominous sound of things marching out of the woods, and wings overhead, and the assault on the walls begins...]
((SO: THE DAMAGE REPORT: The central tower? It's basically gone, and some of the smaller ones along the dragon's flight path. The walls will have holes in them within a few hours of the attack starting, and then there'll be the aforementioned monsters in the castle grounds! Feel free to make your own posts off of this, monsters will be just about any stereotypical fantasy monster plus some more exotic types in that category; you can either post reactions or thread off of here if you want. Monsters can be godmod-NPC'ed a'la some of the other troubles, and if anyone wants to end up getting injured/whatever during this plot, they're more than welcome to it; if you want to thread something special out, just ping one of the mods and we'll get on it.))
