Help Us Move People So They Don't Die to a Homunculus-Beholder

Hjolda, Subjects of Travance,

The homunculus beast known as Icarus is presently headed towards the Proper through Ostcliff. It has absorbed many other beings into itself, gaining their power, including a Phoenix and Beholder. We need to evacuate as many people out of its path, especially Ostvolk and denizens of the Proper, as soon as possible. The Lords of Kaladonia and Drega'mire have opened their lands to any refugees.

Icarus is gigantic, but also breaks off small pieces of itself to scout and fight. They appear as blackened homunculi. These can be fought, but the main body should not be engaged yet. They can range very far out, so they may be encountered across Pendarvin and Alisandria as well as Ostcliff and the Proper.

If you can spare time to help with either the evacuations or training your local militia in anti-homunculus tactics, do so, and coordinate with me.


(OOG notes: If you want to do land actions regarding this, post in your choice of land with Icarus as the target and matt M as the ST. The number of actions taken to starve, deny, or defend against Icarus will help Matt set how strong Icarus and its minions will be at the WitL weekend event.)

As I do not know who is fielding the scout report for this, I will just post this here to hopefully get the quickest response: Is Icarus travelling along the Eastern Traderoad into the Proper or through the mountains. The only mountain pass cuts into Vindholm and I will most likely need to evacuate my town as well (and we'll hope that Icarus doesn't sink itself into the Cracked Plains I guess) It would not need to be the whole of Pendarvin, Vindholm is far away enough from the other villages and towns. I just want to make sure.

If the answer is along the Trade Road then you may start filtering people through Vallenro as a shortcut into Vindholm if need be and I will have things prepared there to assist.

This Icarus sounds not nearly as nice, as those other [strike]creations[/strike], I mean, people.
Though certainly as interesting.
I have some talents that have proven useful in the past against the less kind Homunculi.
Thusly I will see what I can do about evacuating the common folk out of the possible path of Icarus as soon as I understand the path a bit better.

Getting people clear of the proper is a good start. That is where our stand will be made.

Icarus has not been spotted yet. We have scouts from the Ostvolk, the Travancian Guard, and flocks of birds linked to our druids watching for its approach all throughout Ostcliff.

The stewards of our cities are handling evacuations if necessary, with our clerks and guard captains assisting them.

If anyone would like to help organize the efforts in Ostcliff please contact me so I can assign you to a city and the steward you will be helping.

Stay safe everyone,

Squire Wrenton. Forgive my correction but Icarus isn't a he. Icarus is an it, or most appropriately a they. It is an agglomerated mass of so many things that calling it male or female would be rather... Odd.
