OOC:
Continued from Chapter 1This fear is confirmed when the wildsailors look down. Far below, behind probably dozens of meters of Tangle, the terrifying orange glow of fire can be seen, small and surprisingly localized but definitely there.
The second thing, maybe not as alarming but definitely still very relevant is that something is approaching fast from below, from the direction of the fire. Before the Dawn crew has time to really speculate, a nano sized ship, an outrider designed for one person, breaks through the bottom of the empty space in front of them. The ship is not much more than a closed capsule attached to two large chainsaws.
The vehicle stops after entering the former location of the town of Earthhaven and a large, cloaked figure steps out of it. In the darkness of the Tangle, it's difficult to make out any details about the figure as it stares up at the Fading Dawn above it. As it starts moving after a few seconds of stillness, one thing about it becomes quickly clear however: It is a tzelicrae, obvious by the fact that it has four arms and by the staccato nature of its movements.
"Who are you?", it asks the Fading Dawn in Old Hand.
