Story — So it will be a fight! The charge is on, the blue misted beasts rally and make their way toward the group of creatures brave enough to fight them. You tear forward, pressing into the mist. It mixes with the sand, creating a stinging lash as you move closer. The pain increases as you near the beasts, and you can barely keep your eyes open long enough to continue your assault.

Persist, the voice tells you, suddenly loud in your ears. They need to die to save this land. And you feel empowered to press forward. You feel encouraged with the rage to fight.

Outcome — You may now powerplay a fight with these creatures, working together to ensure their demise. When you destroy them, their bodies return to sand. These beasts cannot permanently injure you, but their attacks cause burns and may cause irritation to your eyes, nose, and throat. When you destroy them, the rage you feel subsides … and all that is left of them are strange blue teeth.

You sense that the Plague has slowed upon their defeat. You may acquire up to 10 points toward your warrior skill — that is two points per post, for a five-post maximum reward. You may post more than this, of course, but 10 points is the max. You may allot these toward a Warrior Skill Badge or any offshoot of that class (guardian, berserker, etc).
