OOC: Gorvan was toward the front of the army, rather than at the very back, so he's fine.
Basically, the Sabretooth raid on the Sacred Pool (which is based on the similar raid conducted by the Wolves in episode 10 of the TV series) has upset the Elemental Balance. Combined with the existing imbalance caused by Fire and Ice Tribes crossing over the border due to the war, this should cause the earthquakes and airstorms to intensify significantly - making travel (particularly by air) dangerous. I wanted to do an IC representation of that, and the Gorilla air force seemed like the best way to do that. It's a big enough event to draw everyone's attention, but since the Gorillas are en route to join up with the already large Unichi army, it doesn't completely disrupt any plot lines yet.
OOC: And here I was just posting about "plants becoming withered" back when the Bats drained the chi falls.
OOC: Gorvan zat vooraan in het leger, in plaats van helemaal achteraan, dus het gaat goed met hem.
Kortom, de Sabretooth-inval op de Heilige Pool (die is gebaseerd op de vergelijkbare inval die door de Wolves is uitgevoerd in aflevering 10 van de tv-serie) heeft de Elemental Balance verstoord. Gecombineerd met de bestaande onevenwichtigheid veroorzaakt door Vuur- en IJsstammen die de grens oversteken als gevolg van de oorlog, zou dit ertoe moeten leiden dat de aardbevingen en luchtstormen aanzienlijk toenemen - waardoor reizen (met name door de lucht) gevaarlijk wordt. Ik wilde daar een IC-weergave van maken, en de Gorilla-luchtmacht leek de beste manier om dat te doen. Het is een evenement dat groot genoeg is om ieders aandacht te trekken, maar aangezien de Gorilla's op weg zijn om zich bij het toch al grote Unichi-leger aan te sluiten, verstoort het nog geen volledige plotlijnen .
OOC: En hier postte ik net over "planten die verwelkten" toen de vleermuizen de chi-watervallen drooglegden.
maar als het gorillaleger wordt verslagen, dan is dat zware schade aan de gorillastam?

In the basement of the Ravens' central government building, a band of masked Ravens sneak from room to room, the state-of-the-art security systems installed by Talon Industries seemingly offline.
"Here! It's him!" one calls, throwing open a cell door. As the group gathers, their leader steps forward, an orb of Fire Chi in hand. Breathless, he reaches out and presses it against the ice block, a stream of cool water running to the floor as it melts a channel...straight to the Chi harness.
Wuth a flash of fiery light, the prisoner's eyes fly open, glowing the colour of flames. His wings unfurl, red-hold energy streaking over him as the ice dissolves.

Raven citizens notice huge clouds of smoke belching from New Talon Industries' factories, particularly from the wing devoted to military production and from the iron mines. Inquisitive eyes are kept at a distance by locked gates, shaded or shuttered windows and an increased number of armed security guards.
Though unsuccessful at finding Traxx, whose tracks have become untraceable in the mountains, Petricoff and his search party from the Minor Tribes do find something of note: a Fire Wing Harness, formerly buried in the snow on the side of a mountain, now laying out in the open on a mountain path after the avalanche the Gorillas faced had revealed the Harness. The group takes the Fire Wing Harness and heads back to Minor Tribes HQ.

A figure wrapped in a large cloak weaves in the dark. Lifting cloth from a fallen tent, they rummage through torn blankets and spoiled food.
Two glowing eyes speak to the figure from the shadows. "And what is it you seek?" The raspy voice croaks, snickering.
Raising their arm, the figure pulls out a glowing bulwark from underneath their cloak and jabs at the darkness. Electricity crackles as it paints a trail, finally stopping in the direction of a gnarled tree. The figure sighs, indulging in a moment of calm as the bulwark's light illuminates a dirty raven smiling back at them.
Struggling for breath, the raven nods. "You got me." He wheezes, grimly looking up at the bulwark dug deep into the tree trunk centimeters from his head. Standing before him, two wings block out the crescent moon as the figure lifts a second bulwark to his neck.
The raven moves closer to the blue light, revealing a swollen eye and chipped beak. "I always stick to buyer confidentiality mate." The figure backs away in shock. Turning from him out of shame, the figure lowers their cloak and winces, attempting to control their voice. "Rorci and Rylee?"
Ryd chuckles. "Sent them far from here." Throwing up his hands, he shakes his head. "Now don't start with that hero gush. I need no avenging, but if you want something to act on take this with as bit of hope. Before they knocked me out, they spoke of dealing with the Crown."
"They?"
"With swollen eyes I couldn't get much of a picture, but the group smelled of clay."
The words hang in the air for a moment. Extending a hand, the figure gently helps Ryd onto his feet. "Come with me. I owe you this much."
-A lone figure of what seems to be a raven in Forgotten Attire, having a large squirming burlap sack squirming over his shoulder, besides that raven was a black-feathered Eagle besides the raven, also clad in Forgotten Attire, the Eagle seems to be begging to the Raven to stop, bu the Raven besides him pays him no attention.-
-The group seems to be approaching a gate owned by New Talon Industries...-
NTI security guards see them coming and fly over, two landing in front of the visitors and another two behind. "What is your business here?" one of them squawks.
An huge armoured division of the Sabretooth Army arrives in the northern foothills and begins its ascent high into the Iron Mountains. Infantry and smaller vehicles enter the ancient tunnels beneath the mountains, using them to move around unseen and appear all over the place. In this way, they quickly scout out much of the mountains unobserved and locate all of the main settlements. Reporting back to Major General "Lackfang", they work out a path upwards that should bypass defended areas.

-there the blue-masked raven looks up at the NTi guards above and smirks, quickly adverting his gaze to the raven then back to the guards, enjoying the confused and bewildered look on the Eagle-
"hey! Does the name 'NightWing' Rakkar/Réaza?' Mean anything to you, eh?" -the raven chuckled, the black eagle comedically twitching and flailing about-
"S-stop this, s-son! What the heck are you doing saying your maiden last name out to these strangers?! We don't know who they--" -the eagle was interrupted by his "son"-
"Shut up! and i don't think i can consider you my father anymore after all this chaos with whatever this failing Razarian Monarchy has become of! It's a fever dream of disillusioned fools like you and mom, trying to desperately hold onto the past thats ruining my image...! something my own insane grandpa would've wanted!! Now im starting to see the view of Talon Industries had against the Wings Row Monarchy... especially what Rawlin told me back then when i was on that Mobile Missile Command thingy of his..."
-The eagle gasped and looked pretty shocked before that expression turned to rage-
"YOU THINK LIKE THE MAN WHOM KILLED ME?!? H-HOW CAN I BE BETRAYED LIKE THIS?!" -a sudden slap across his face was his response, sending him flat on his rump and the blue-masked raven looked back to the guards above-
"I think you guys might like this, uh..." -he'd smirked as the squirming burlap sack over his shoulder squirmed again- "..heh heh, gift of mine, someone that you guys prolly wanted a loooooooong time now... uh if not then, i don't care! Have her and keep her away from me! Do whatever you like to her, heck, put her back in that old line of work she was known for before she met my father! ...Now that i've mentioned it, have this stupid eagle next to me whilst you're at it! will take a WHOLE heavy load off my wings!" -he'd grunted out before soon taking the sack off his shoulder and soon swinging it around before tossing the sack with it's prisoner inside over the walls, the guards ducking as the sack flew right over their heads!
-The Black Eagle whimpered and growled, soon getting up and grabbing the blue-masked raven by the arms- "SON, Y-YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO THIS...!! P-please! S-stop this madness at once! I-i'm begging you as your father! Wh-what did we e-ever do to--" -his face was slapped across again by the raven and said raven pushed away the red-masked eagle back onto the ground-
-The Eagle groaned and whimpered before being met with the glowing energy spikes of the old bow-like weapon the Blue-masked raven had since the beginning of this roleplay, his old Featha-rippr bow.-
"Do you want to have an out-of-body experience again... Father...? no,Razar? I can very well turn you BACK into a chi spirit and leave you for dead again just like one of the assassins that Rawlin sent, did to you." -he'd say in a grim stern tone- "...would you like that or not...?"
-There, the Black eagle Razar whimpered and soon went scrambling over to the gates...-

-There, the Black eagle Razar whimpered and soon went scrambling over to the gates...-
The guards watch in confusion as this scene unfolds, their eyes widening as they wear the name "Razar". One of them takes a radio from his belt and speaks quietly into it; less than a minute later, half a zoen more Ravens run out of the guardhouse next to the gates.
"This way please, sir," their leaders directs, a hint of mockery in his voice. Two guards frogmarch Razar away, another two carrying the sack, and take both the prisoners towards one of the larger buildings.
The remaining four guards at the gate turn back to the blue-masked raven. "Your gifts will be deeply appreciated, I am sure. Perhaps you would like to come inside? The Director would be most interested in meeting you."
* * *
Meanwhile, the two prisoners are taken into an older factory building, fallen into disuse as more modern facilities have replaced it. The guards march into an old control room, overlooking the empty factory floor below. Minutes later, Radnar himself marches into the room, followed by two ravens in the black masks and clothing of the Raven Resistance. The Director gives Razar a penetrating stare, before gesturing to the sack.
"Open it."
The guards quickly open the sack and turn it upside down, dumping the second prisoner onto the concrete floor.

-The blue masked Raven smirked and then shook his head no.-
"Well, i would like to, but, i'd rather stay away from you... and your kin stay away from mine. It's mutually better if we never met at all and pretend this never happened... I, former Prince of the Raven Tribe, i was. Now i'ts better that im Raven Chief to a new reborn Razarian Monarchy, heck, i don't think i can call it a monarchy at all, say... more like a cult... Now it's better i've now become full leader of my kin loyal to me. We'll oust the straggling Razarian monarchists and turn them over to you..., after that, i'll won't bother New Talon Industries ever again, and we'll coexist peacefully, unlike my mom and dad..."
-Razic grinned, gave the guard a thumbs up, salutes, then spread his wings and soonly flew away back south. Prolly back to Southernfell... but being a raven he was, he left a calling card, a small note on the ground... wonder what it says...-
-Meanwhile in said building, the black eagle Razar looked terrified, seeing his wife of a sister soon flopped onto the floor out of the burlap sack-
Rica: "G-gaah!! F-finally i-im out...!" -she'd looked up to see the other ravens around her and she'd gasped- "W-wait, who in the name of Cavora are YOU people?!"
Razar: "Wh-what has our s-son done t-to us?! W-we're n-not delusional at all! H-how could h-he leave us to die like this!?"
-Both Razarian royalty looked around eachother and soon quickly gotten up to embrace eachother tightly as they gazed at all the unfriendly faces around them-
