Chasing Twisters In The Canyon
Pyralis was getting anxious to get going again and she had no interest in helping the girl out of the tar if there wasn't going to be some benefit. Although, her daughter's puppy eyes always did have a way of wearing her down. She was about to speak again when Kanja said the stupidest thing she'd ever heard in her life. Her hackles rose and she turned to Kanja with a snarl. "WHAT? You think that some sniveling little yearling who managed to navigate her way right into a tar pit is going to get us out of here? Don't be ridiculous. I happen to be an expert navigator and I've already taken care of us getting out of here. Alkali-" Pyralis paused as she suddenly realized her mistake. Alkali was going to dive straight back down with information but Pyralis had gone and moved when she heard the stupid little girl crying out so now Alkali had no idea where they were. Shit.
Pyralis let out a howl, her ears twitching for a moment before leveling a murderous glare at her offspring. "Asharya, I expect you to use your brain. There's nothing about this situation that implies this girl can help us get out of here and I expect you to- AHHHHHHH" Pyralis dove out of the way, narrowly avoiding Alkali as the hawk dove at her head, pulling up just in time to go sailing across the ground before landing on the limb of a fallen tree and ruffling her feathers. Pyralis, who had hit the deck with her own fur on end, got to her feet grumbling as the bird spoke. "I've found our waiting out of here, how dare you move! I've been searching for you high and low, what were you thinking?"
Pyralis scowled at the bird. "There was a matter requiring my investigation." The bird made some sort of unintelligible noise before flying near Asharya and landing next to her. "You'll want to head southeast for a mile and then we'll be out of it. But I'm surprised at you Pyralis. Was it not moments ago that we pulled Kanja free to the benefit of all parties involved? Even if the girl has no practical uses the practice in this technique would be of benefit to your daughter… not that it's any of my business." The hawk turned to preen quietly as Pyralis continued to scowl.
"OH fine… we can free the welp." Asharya moved to grab the girls scruff as she started to pull. "Careful Asharya! Don't get to close to the tar. You'd be safer hauling her out by the ass but if you've got a good grip on the scruff widen your stance a bit more and push with your legs." Pyralis gestured to Alkali and the bird moved to grab onto the base of Aranea's tail.
"Alkali can help. On each downbeat of her wings you must pull in unison to maximize your force." She had to admit having a hawk for a companion was helpful. Perhaps she should find a companion for her daughter.
My Cathedral Is The Badlands
Please note that Pyralis is a ghost. It is up to you to decide what level your chars can see/hear her. She was killed by having her throat ripped apart. At times the wound may be visible and be actively bleeding.
