[Anduin appears over the broadcast, his face set in a grim expression. It isn’t clear at first where he is, but something is clearly wrong. The air around him is filled with the sound of falling rubble, and the anguished cries of injured men.]

There has been–

[He’s jostled by a group of people who run by, a frantic sense of urgency to their movement. Anduin’s attention drops from his broadcast for a moment, the pendant falling to his chest as he runs to join them. The base of one of the watch towers is just visible in the background as it moves. It seems they are attempting to rescue a man who has been trapped beneath a pile of debris.]

Hold! Lift that beam, I will pull him clear! On my count! One, two, three!

[The men move together as one, struggling to lever a large wooden pillar off the top of the pile. Once it has shifted enough, Anduin murmurs a spell, and a pair of golden wings appear on the injured man, dragging him out of the rubble to land gently at Anduin’s feet. Anduin bends, the bright light of a healing spell filling the pendant’s frame.] He needs further healing. Bring him over to--

[A terrible noise sounds in the background. The sound of something large crashing into stone, and the groan of ensuing collapse. All of the men in the foreground freeze, their attention turned up toward the tower above as the sound of screaming begins. Stones crash to the ground around them and Anduin turns to look himself just in time to fling his hands up and cast – a pair of men gently levitating down, cradled in a soft golden light, where moments ago they were falling.

When at last he has the time to address the pendant directly once more, his expression is as stone, his voice just as hard.]

The Northern Watch Tower is falling. Any hands that can be spared for civilian rescue. Triage. Healers that can be spared from areas of the fortress. We need your aid on the ground. Here, now.

[He cannot do this on his own.]



((ooc: replies will be distracted from Anduin for obvious reasons BUT if you’re on the Northern Tower or are planning to take up his call for assistance, feel free to set up an action thread for such purposes!))

[As much as she thought it would end like this, it doesn't mean Wanda's letting the tower take anyone with it. Her magic, as ever, is hard to miss: red bursts and flashes, but here as a side of stone and people begin to topple towards the ground, she plants her feet and catches both bits of tower and living people alike, all pausing in mid air in a glow of red before being safely deposited below.]

Go, get to another tower! This one is done.

[Then there's the matter of their healer. He was stubborn before and she can only imagine now it'll be worse, but Wanda still marches up to him and grabs a wrist or elbow or whatever she can reach.]

That's it. It's done. We have to move--

[She jerks her gaze upwards just in time to spot a chunk of tower toppling towards them. A grunt and a wave of Wanda's hand has it flying out towards that endless siege to crash and do some damage. No time to see who or what it takes out.]

Come on.

I can be with you in a moment.

[ He cannot heal but he can... lift heavy things? Help move people?

Make sure Anduin isn't coming to harm. ]

Carts, for rubble.

( To extricate the buried before they suffocate. )

We shall plead with merchants.

The healers in the Wards are overrun, they can't come there. But I can bring the ones most likely to survive down here.
