Re: Baptism by Fire (Occam, Squid, Kathy)
As the situation erupted, the flock of harpies launched into action. Several warriors grabbed weapons while the majority began to fetch water to attempt to douse the raging flames. Meanwhile, shooting ahead, Flow, followed shortly by Drago and Kriia make a beeline for the flames to take stock of the situation. As the fly towards it, they become aware that they were not the only nesting group to notice the situation, all around the area, Harpies were taking to the air and winging towards it, as though someone had kicked over an ants nest.
As they arrived, they were treated to just how horrific the sight awaiting them was. The entire area was engulfed in flames, this was no cooking fire accident, the very rock itself burned violently in a way that made it clear there was nothing accidental about this flame unless someone had knocked over a large drum of fire accelerant. Not far from the heat, a small group, all too small, of their burned and injured kin huddled. Judging by the intensity of the flames, if anyone were still trapped in the blaze, they wouldn't live long and the flames were far too fierce to make a rescue mission anything less than suicidal.
As the group reconnoiter the skies, they spot a small group of harpies in the distance, who appear to be heading away from the canyon, although at this distance it was impossible to identify who or why.
