Who: Taryn, Arturia, Nero, Lleld, Katina, Kusuha, Temeraire, bird beastmen npcs, British npc riders and a possible appearance from Viridi
What: Pre-battle and during battle fights against firedrakes, their mounts, and their camp. The plan is here.
When: June 15th our time - early morning (pre-battle) and actual battle
Where: Raider Camp in the West
Warnings: All the things that come with action movies; blood, violence, cursing, etc



[The battle itself will be run in two parts after the initial assault, when the two groups separate. The raiders will use hit and run skirmish tactics once they can properly react, moving in wings of three. We'll successfully capture 25 drakes, and the combined air/ground forces take out approximately 100 men and 100 drakes. Remember there's a nasty shrapnel ceiling launched from the ground forces to keep the drakes from flying too high.]

Temeraire bought Katina a little more time to make a pass; seeing an opportunity, the dragon threw himself bodily downwards in the air, between Katina's drake and her pursuers--momentarily throwing them into further disarray. He was now at a lower altitude, though--and a puff of firey breath scorched the end of his tail as he passed by.

"Ah damn... oi!" She yanked her improvised reins, then pressed forward on the drake's back, bucking it through the air, trying to at least make her flight erratic and hard to follow. Fortunately, the raiders hadn't taken any shots at her yet, but she needed Temeraire to actually have a decent shot at taking them down, unless they decided to close in to melee combat.
