Waking Nightmares in Skyhold: During the dim morning hours, a deep, bellowing laugh rumbles the ground, and shrieks and curses and prayers begin to score what's left of late night tranquility. The worst inevitability has finally occurred: a young mage, in the depths of sleep, has given in to demonic possession and transformed into an Abomination, scattering his panicked peers attempting to flee his path of senseless, maddened destruction. This operation requires 3-4 people to handle the Abomination directly, and will require they be present in Skyhold and responsive towards this emergency to participate. This event will trigger once all volunteers are selected. (Submitted by Samm.)
Your group will be the informal response team that sees through the Abomination's necessary defeat, gathering together when its trail of destruction is already underway.
The Abomination will have erupted in the garden area, where some young mages have taken to camping beneath the stars on clearer nights. Many will be hurt, a few beyond recovery, before the Abomination continues its destruction into the main hall, blasting open the interior entry way. The beast itself is at least seven feet tall, mage robes torn to stretch in tatters over muscle that misshapen forms that treats once-human flesh in much the same manner, gorily splitting over bony protrusions and raw flesh. The only true human part of it left is its eyes, which seem frightened, but when it opens its mouth, there is only deep maniacal laughter and drooling fangs.
Disturbingly, it seems intent to drag along the corpse of a young mage woman by the ankle. Should it drop her to focus an attack, it will try to retrieve her when moving on.
Battling the Abomination within the interior of Skyhold will result in further damage to its surroundings, including possible bystanders, although crowd control is up to your characters and many will be keen to get out of the way. The alternative is to drive it out into the courtyards, and even better, out through the gates and into the snowy wasteland. It is nearly impervious to fire magic, as that is its choice of weapon, as well as magics relating to nature and spirit, but it is vulnerable to other, harsher elements. It will also attack physically, with biting, scratching, and picking up tools (tables, swords, body parts) for bludgeoning.
This event will occur on Haring 11. While your characters will be the group that ultimately handle the Abomination and conclude the crisis, this event will also be open for Skyhold characters in general to react to the Abomination (and an additional open post will be created by the mods for this purpose). OOCly, you may begin before or after December 11 and back- or forward-date accordingly.
