[audio] Caedra's Summoning - Call to Arms
[In good news, the Guard's watchtowers are working. Hadriel's latest bunch of unwanted guests only get a few minutes in the city before the call to arms goes out. The bad news, of course, is that a call to arms has to go out at all, but that's the norm in a city like Hadriel. No one can say the place is dull. And if they do, then they're probably the ones stirring up trouble like this in the first place.
Nick's voice cuts in, along with the telltale shuffling of papers -- that'd be the maps rolling out across his desk, ones made specifically for times like this.]
Guard, report in. In case you missed the memo, it looks like we have a mess to clean up.
[There's the scratching of a pencil as he writes down who is supposed to be patrolling where at this time. Might make things easier to manage if folks are where they ought to be.]
We got a report from the southern tower about enemies manifesting in the streets near Rage's temple. Three fliers, maybe a dozen on the ground, all ugly.
[And when a guy with the side of his face torn off says something is ugly, it's probably true.]
We're looking for a lady with black eyes while we're at it, last seen near the temple.
[Maybe Caedra is involved, maybe she just happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time; however, if she is a demon and all these monsters are suddenly showing up the second she starts skulking around Rage's temple, it doesn't look good -- especially when she was also in the neighborhood of the sewing shop earlier. Nick's patrol is later in the evening, and he usually walks past there. It's a rare occasion Margaery isn't in, and she doesn't seem like the type to invite folks over then not be there. Maybe it's just a series of coincidences, but Nick's gut, mechanical as it may be, tells him otherwise.
And he's been a detective long enough to know to trust that feeling.]
Henry is already headed down there, and Ignis is the one who sent word from the tower. The rest of you let me know where you are, maybe where you're headed. Let's see if we can't get areas covered and these things taken care of before they wreck the place. And if you aren't on the Guard, but have intel you're willing to share or skills you want to put to good use, I'm all ears.

[Ugh, this is the worst. Kyna takes a deep breath.]
Where I'm from, demons can summon other demons, right? I've run into them a lot, and so has my brother. These guys are like... They're not like Emily Rose style, you know? The flying ones are resistant to a lot of magic, and to a lot of weapons. The ones on the ground are easier to deal with. They're resistant to some spells, but not like... everything. And weapons work better on them.

Guess it's good we're mostly armed with weapons for the ground ones. Seems like the fliers are going to be the real problem. They got any specific weak points?
