[This afternoon, the quirky merriment at Terre Haute has something very sudden cutting its way in. There's the very distinct sound of an explosion. It shakes the ground with a small tremor for but a brief moment. Those who are looking at a certain monolith in the distance may see that there is now smoke coming from it, parts of it crumbling and tearing away as black smoke begin to fill the air.

Something's happening at that strange "thing" that fell from the sky. But what? Dare you disregard the unsettling feeling that may begin to steadily fill the air?]

[sworn]

[Another creature springs toward them. She sends an arrow sailing toward it, though she steps aside so that Spike can get a shot in as well.]

And I won't turn down an opportunity to get my boots dirty.

[He fires, two shots aiming for others before they get close without much difficulty. Usually this would be his time to come up with some suicidal plan to take out as many as he can, but he has to put that on hold for a few minutes.

There's probably a reason he doesn't usually get picked for guard duty.]

Any idea what set them off?

[sworn]

[At a distance, she's able to strike the creatures down before they get close enough. One does happen to break through, and she doesn't hesitate to draw her blade, bringing it up and fending it off.]

The explosion. They hadn't approached the town until the explosion. Someone or something must have attacked it.

[gottaknockhard]

[At least while he's got bullets left and a surprisingly capable warrior woman, they can keep enough space between the enemy to talk.]

Something other than the swarm? [Did one of theirs get away to strike first? They did have a perfect distraction.]
