It was a very very unusal night on the farm. Normally beings would be working to shut down the few golems and such that the farm uses to help keep everything going, put the animals in the barns. However, there was no work going on at all. A lone bull stands conversing with a wide hipped bixen in priestess garb. She nods along with what he says to her, then looks out over the field, looking back again and discussing a bit more.

Fenris arrives at the farm, in a gust of wind. He had come as quickly as he could when he had recieved the call. Looking around, he is surprised to see everything so peaceful. "Mirana!" he calls, seeing the priestess and hurrying over.

Rahn comes stumping after Fenris. "I was jusht having a little fun," he slurs. The Rhino has obviously been in his cups. He staggers to a halt right behind the tiger, nearly running him down. "No need to drag me out here in the middle o' the night."

Hearing rumor of an odd occurance down at the farm, Dio makes his way towards the location in haste. Certainly beats how he was spending his holiday. Arriving on the scene, the lion lets out a loud yawn, perhaps indicating just how he spent the day's precious hours. Without taking much time to look about, he walks towards the conversing pair and joins up with Fenris and Rahn. "Gooood..." He pauses for another booming yawn, "... evenin' lads and lasses. Got some problem out 'ere?"

Siyu coughs a little bit, he was drinking too, but he got drug along by the large drunk rhino who thinks he's a girl. Well he's pretty enough, but apparantly he's a damsel in distress as he's drug along. Giving a faint little cough as he recognizes...Mirana! Oh thank the creators.

Alef follows behind the group, taking it slow and bringing up the rear, giving Mirana a nod of greeting and the others as well. "It was close so I thought id come see if I could help, whats going on out here?" Looking around curiously and leaning on her staff.

Fenris looks back to see that Rahn, despite expressly being told not to, has dragged poor little Siyu along. He sighs heavily, and shrugs at the little rodent. Turning to Rahn he says exhasperatedly, "Just try to behave yourself." He greets the others as they come.

Mirana looks out at those coming up, "Oh thank Shaila we have more help Mr McKoren." She says, giving a curtsy around to everyone. "And yes Dio, there has been some-" sniff sniff. She holds her nose and turns away, "Solacious love the drink, but goodness, Rahn, Siyu, are you sure you are ok to be out here?" She asks. The large bull snorts a bit, Mira shaking her head softly, "It matters little, Oh, good Alef! Thank you all sweeties, I'll be staying here to discuss things with Mr McKoren about what could possibly be the cause of what he is seeing, what he needs you all to do is simply... well... bring in the animals, shut down the golems, and ... bring in the farm hands as well." She says, looking back to the imposing, tall, Heavy Clanned bull. He snorts and nods, very odd to see someone so powerful looking in farming garb.

Rahn grins stupidly, the drink talking through him. "The little lady WANTED to come, didn't you lass?" he slurs. The finally notices the others. "Ya didn't say we was goin to a party!" Rahn perks up significantly. And

Rahn grins stupidly, the drink talking through him. "The little lady WANTED to come, didn't you lass?" he slurs. The finally notices the others. "Ya didn't say we was goin to a party!" Rahn perks up significantly. "And this is the game, right?"

Siyu ahmes a little bit, "I am fine to be out here, and I'll tell you agian, fine sir, I am not a lady..." he chitters once more, his face beet red, but he's tagging along in his leathers, giving a gentle little huff as Rahn thinks he's found a date.

While Dio didn't seem to smell of alcohol like some of the other group members, Dio seems to wobble in place ever so slightly, eyes half-open and not too focused on one thing or another. He continues to yawn on occasion as Mira speaks and tries to snap too attention at the conclusion. "Ah... Yes! O' course. Shut down the farm 'ands, bring in the gollems... Easy 'nough. But somethin' seems to be strange 'ere... Don't matter none. Let's get started I guess."

Bring in the farm hands? That was the second strangest thing Fenris had heard all day. "What do you mean, Mirana?" he asks. Where ARE the farm hands?" And the animals and the golems, now that he is thinking about it.

Alef sighs lightly. "Farm work huh? Simple enough." nodding as she looks at the others. "Oh dear..." just looking amused and annoyed by the state of the others, atleast Fenris and Dio seem to be ok to work.

Mirana points out over the field. It is quite dark, only the half moon there to cast light for everyone. It is easy to see the golems continuing their work, there must be a lot less golems then were first thought, some of those must be the farm hands. But then again, there is an almost innumeral amount of livestock out there, much more then has ever been seen before. Seems there is little to do but to get the work done before what light there is has passed.

Rahn says, "Ahahaha!" Rahn laughs loudly, " A roundup!" He claps his thick hands and sets out across the field, dragging Siyu behind him. "Come on, lass!" he shouts, "we'll show 'em how it's done!""

Siyu grunts a bit as he's drunk along, "All right, livestock, um, but first we should ask for sorting priority, do they call go to the barn, togeher? Do they go into different areas, wait for instruction!"

Perhaps he could get some answers later. A bit of manual labor in the dead of the evening should be enough to wake the sleepy lion up. Dio rolls his shoulders and gives his fingers a good popping to prepare himself for the task at hand. "Still a bit sore," he comments, pulling his coat down a bit, "But we better get to movin'. I don' know much 'bout gollems, so I'll try an' do my best with the animals." The lion nods to the others and heads over to the nearest stray animal, doing his best to gently guide it towards its appropriate holding area.

Fenris shakes his head at his rhino friend's antics. Turning to Mirana he says, "I'll see if I can't help these two get the animals moving back toward the barn." With that, he launches himself across the fields with tightly controlled air magic, drawing on some fire math to create a nimbus of light around himself. If neccessary, he could also shut down or operate the golems once he got there.

Alef looks around at the darkening night, holding out her hand, focusing some as she does a familure equation, making a ball of fire appear in her hand, but instead of throwing it she holds it above her palm, following Siyu and Rahn, luminating there efforts to round up the animals.

Siyu gives a faint little huff and he looks around for...well, a toch, or a latern. THis is a farm right? There should be a torch to go along with the pitchfork

Rahn barrels throug the waving grasses of the fields, the cool night air granting him some alertness, if no real clarity of thought. As he draws near the closest of the farm animals he drops Siyu's hand to start clapping and waving. "Ha! Beastie!" he shouts, expecting to get the creature moving toward its safe barn.

Out in the fields it is quickly evident what was meant by 'bring the farm hands in'. The only ones standing and doing work are the golems themselves! All around are cows, bulls, chickens, pigs, grazing, scratching at the ground, rolling in the dirt. There was just one major problem. A very loud clucking, but it wasn't coming from a chicken. Rather, it was coming from from a minx, a feline being! She had her arms folded and flapping like wings while she dug at the dirt with her feet, leaning down to... peck at the ground? A loud bellowing from... an allagater being? He takes a large bite of grass and starts to chew on it. Between Siyu's huffing and Rahn's blosterious shouting and clapping both beast and being scatter to the four winds across the field.

Fenris stares down at the strange spectacle below him. What on earth was going on here?! Seeing the beasts and beings scatter he makes a snap decision and throws about a bit of fire magic to flash brilliantly to cut off those heading in the wrong direction.

Siyu blinks a little bit as everyone runs around and he tilts his head, "IS that...is that normal" he asks, and his hand moves to his soul pendant, he clutches it hard, "I think someone was playing a joke on these poor beings...but I didn't think you could get the soul of a pure beast..."

Alef blinks as the situation becomes apparent. "Ok... You two hold up a minate!" Calling out to Rahn "Stop you big olf!" Frowning and looking confused back toward the rhino farmer and Mirana. but doing her best to limit there fleeing as well.

"Alright now," Dio comments, moving closer to a supposed animal. "Let's get ya... Huh?" As the lion gets closer and closer to the true scene, his eyes are met with a rather curious sight. "This is awfully strange," he comments under his breath, taking a close examination of the alligator especially. However, such investigation would be put on hold after things seem to head down the drain. "WHAT 'RE YA DOIN', LADS," he calls out. "Yer gonna scare 'em with all that loud noise an' fire!" The lion quickly fumbles with his soul pendent and changes out his gems, now in wait for the new information to transfer.

Rahn stands and stares slack-jawed as he sees that what he had thought was a cow was, in fact, a large alligator man. Totally bemused, thanks to the situation and the alcohol, he just stands for a moment, at a loss for what to do next.

All around are running beasts and beings, fire flying off away from the barn. Escape closed off, they turn and start running the direct other way... and in toward Rahn, Dio, Alef, Siyu, and Fenris!! The bulls, and those who think themselves bulls, have their heads lowered, many a hoof, claw, paw, and tallon ready to try and trample over the would be farm workers. The golems however, busy themselves with putting out the fires to prevent their spreading!

Things were getting worse and worse! After the soul's information finally flooded his mind, Dio begins to prepare a few earth magic calculations. While he may not be able to get them all the "animals" in their rampage, it's a good first step. "'ere we go!" With some effort, he unleashes some earth magic, hoping to surround the enranged individuals in domes of earth.

Fenris drops to the ground by Rahn and Siyu, knowing full well that Rahn could never get out of there in his addled state. He summons up his knowledge of earth magic and casts up two solid walls to funnel the stampeding animals and beings around their huddled threesome.

Siyu chitters a bit, "This is...this is wrong, mortals should be in control of themselves what...what would do this." he looks very distrubed as the action happens around him, the small rodent f or hte most part just tryign to stay out of the way as magic and chasing goes down, waiting til there's a moment of calm to investigate.

The wall of stone does its job for the most part, though it breaks apart after the fourth slam against it, though by then Dio's work has done its trick, the near farmhands trapped in domes of earth. That however, does not stop the rest of the actual animals! Trampling through and over the small Siyu as they go! Meanwhile, the rest of the farm is still in chaos from what was done before. Chickens, ducks, pigs, beings, this has become the funny farm more then anything!

Rahn jumps a little as Fenris alights next to him and starts working his earth math. Seeing what the tiger is trying to do, he snatches Siyu up and holds him close. "Don't worry miss!" he says, "I'll protect ya!"

Alef looks stunned as the stampeed begins, watching the beings and animals turn and run the two down! looking agast and horrified at the sight. Unsure what she can do to help.

Siyu was hoping the rhino knew what to do...and it doesn't look as if things are going to go his way, giving a little ghasp as he tucks behidn the rhino, attempting to hind behind his bulk to at least not get gored in the face.

Dio takes a look at his work and smiles. Seems the situation wasn't resovled, but they were getting there. The lion takes a bit of time to think it over, and the solution he found was to simply keep repeating what he did previously until the chaos winds itself down. With some more earth magic calculations, he once again attempts to trap any remaining chargers he possibly can in more domes of earth. "Is there a creator device o' somethin causin' all this," he idly comments before unleashing his earth magic.

That could have gone better. Fenris casts aside the earth walls he was maintaining and hurries to administer what little first aid is at his disposal. Stupid drunk rhino! dragging Siyu out there.

Rahn rolls off of the battered little kangaroo rat after the stampede has passed them by. Rolling on his back proves to be a bad choice as the scrapes and bashes and maybe some broken bits get rattled by the movement. Good thing he wore his armor everywhere. Who knows what could have happened otherwise.

More domes of dirt and stone around animals this time, but it gets harder and harder to do the more Dio does it. At this point he's managed to encase about half what was saw before they all scattered. Those so encased seem to be calming down with little to do other then wait until they were out, though those most recently so continue to try and work against their prisons.

Alef figures out the best way to help direct the stampede is with earth, as well, using her own earth magic to aid dio's efforts, following the lion's lead, her magic helping his.

Fenris quickly administers first aid to the trampled rhino and rodent. Nothing seems broken, and he is able to patch up the worst of their cuts and scrapes. "Stay here," he says, standing and scanning the fields. It seems like Dio and Alef are getting the animals and farmhands under control. Perhaps it was time to take a look at the golems. Leaving the two invalids to rest for a while, Fenris dashes off to see what he can do about the golems, slipping a new soul gem into his pendant.

Siyu coughs a bit, "I wasn't cut out for this..." he mummers as hes rescued and bandaged, now more then happy to stay in the back and away from everything. Let everyone else handle this, this isn't for him!

With only half the animals in their small prisons, Dio was starting to lose a bit of faith for continuing his actions. Rather, he might have to search for the soultion to end everything for good, without killing everyone obviously. "FOX LASS," he shouts over to Mira, "IS THERE SOME KIND O' CREATOR ARTIFACT AT WORK 'ERE? WE GOTTA TURN IT OFF!" Hoping that might be the case, Dio feels himself being supported a bit my Alef and decides to summon up his willpower for some more earth magic domes!
