Event Date: 5/25/2025

Event Instance: Prime

Liraxes at the Machine

• Steward of Recursion Liraxes joins the adventure.

[General] Your mind hears Liraxes thinking, "Liraxes has calculated that an attack on the crystalline machine is imminent."

[General] Your mind hears Gwenhwyfach thinking, "when will it happen?"

[General] Your mind hears Liraxes thinking, "Liraxes requests assistance in defending the machine, as an assault may begin at any moment."

[General] Your mind hears Valynn thinking, "Drakes at the empath courtyard."

[Grassland Road, Meadow]
Before you lies the remains of a building, long reduced to jagged foundations of porous, moss-stained tufa. Dark blades of weevil grass poke out of the rocky ground. You hear a clattering sound somewhere within the ruined structure and a muffled oath. You also see a complex crystalline machine.

Casari snaps to attention and hails Ayrell with a crisp hand salute.

Ayrell smiles at Casari.

Ayrell glances at Liraxes.

You see Steward of Recursion Liraxes, Warden of Adaptation, a being of pure probability.
Liraxes is composed of fractal blue crystal that twists and arcs in lattices into a form vaguely resembling a male humanoid. Impossible geometry forms in only vaguely symmetrical patterns across the body of this being, extruding into a jagged network of fragmented spines. A translucent face approximates what one would expect of a Human, only without a clear definition; it adjusts between varying expression of approximation of emotion, appearing noticeably similar but entirely alien.
Liraxes is of indeterminate age.
He is in good shape.

He is wearing a raiment of fractal crystals.

Malkien says, "Drakes in empath guild in Xing..."

[General] Your mind hears Wordachy thinking, "now this is what im talking about finally"

Strawberry Nurse Illiya went through a complex crystalline machine.

Strawberry Nurse Illiya came through a complex crystalline machine.

Casari asks, "Seems like the strategic thing to do. How often do the Heralds use strategy?"

Malorna chuckles.

[General] Your mind hears Jaig thinking, "Real action has been seen!"

You peer north and see ...

[Grassland Road, Meadow]
A Halfling farmer stumbles and curses loudly enough to annoy a flock of idling grey geese. And no wonder: the road is littered with large, sharp-edged rocks, too heavy to move. They appear to derive from the wreckage of a building that lies further south. You also see the heraldic company.
Obvious paths: north, south.

[General] Your mind hears Zfora thinking, "I guess Wordachy got more action than he could handle."

Malorna gets a steelsilk farmer's haversack with an onyx-hide strap from inside an effervescent eddy of honey-hued light captured by a sungold frame.

There is a sudden grinding noise as the crystals forming Liraxes's body shift. "Threat detected." Liraxes's form grows both broader and taller, larger even than most ogres. The spines and ridges extending from its body also become more prominent, with sharpened edges.

Casari glances at Liraxes.

Urbaj's jaw drops.

Ezerak blinks.

Liraxes tonelessly says, "Hostile entities to the north."

[General] Your mind hears Goodheart thinking, "I keep getting attacked by drakes, where should i go?"

Casari says, "Neat trick."

Liraxes draws forth a hefty sharpened blade formed from faceted crystal.

Stellar Statistician Urbaj strolls north.

[General] Your mind hears Jaig thinking, "Away!"

Casari says, "Given that we're all here expecting a fight, I'm not going to calm them. I'm going to burn them. Behave accordingly."

[General] Your mind hears Sofina thinking, "Someplace they arent attacking?"

Ezerak says to Ayrell, "Liraxes appears to be asserting itself."

Ayrell nods at Ezerak, obviously agreeing with his views.

[General] Your mind hears Trustii thinking, "premature action for Wordachy"

Stellar Statistician Urbaj just arrived.

Steward of Recursion Liraxes glides north.

You notice Sofina trying to remain hidden while speaking.

You hear the voice of Sofina say, "Ah. Theres a company North of us."

Stellar Statistician Urbaj strolls north.

Illiya takes a silk carryall off her back.

Malorna says, "Yes there is."

Ezerak softly asks Ayrell, "Shall we form up, Commander?"

Illiya puts a silk carryall on her back.

Steward of Recursion Liraxes just arrived.

Ayrell nods to Ezerak.

Stellar Statistician Urbaj just arrived.

Casari says, "Join me."

Urbaj joins Casari's group.

Ayrell joins Casari's group.

Illiya joins Casari's group.

Sofina raises her adder up, and a blue glow surrounds it.

Ezerak joins Casari's group.

[General] Your mind hears Kzin thinking, "I am on my way"

With a sudden cross-body move, Ezerak draws his glaes pasabas and throwing axe from his belt.

[General] Your mind hears Leilanie thinking, "Where we practiced..."

You follow Casari north.
