Who: Canis
Where: Canis, the great desert Arakis
When: King's Year 199, midsummer
What: nananana BOSS FIGHT

[Great plumes of sand have been seen rolling through the country all summer. Storms too, such that Canis has never seen. But the desert is not built to hold water for very long; instead, the waters have uncovered an enormous sinkhole in the great desert of Arakis, within which rests something very deep and dark and ancient ...

In the weeks leading up to this encounter, this enormous hole has been the epicenter of the numerous dust storms and other disturbances that have rocked the country. Even the minorly talented shamans have sensed this disturbance in the earth. However, getting to this place has been more than a little difficult. The winds buffeted anyone who came too close. Only now, as the summer approaches its apex, do the winds die down enough for shamans (and other talented folks) to approach. Lazy clouds of sand and grit obscure the mammoth shape ahead of you. And high above your heads fly a number of desert birds, their shadows making lazy circles in the sand far below.]

	[slowly but surely, the winds surrounding the top of the sinkhole begin to slow. the sand still obscures the Old Woman for the moment, however -- not a bad thing, considering her extreme heat. black liquid oozes from the fallen guardian, hissing and bubbling as it flows towards the center of the hole.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
