James T Kirk Memorial Causeway, Saturday Late Morning

Contrary to any weather patterns on the island or the mainland, the causeway was shrouded in a thick fog. Its tendrils were slowly spreading out through the streets of Fandom; if it continued at the same rate the entire town would be fog bound in a few hours. It was cold and damp and dismal, the perfect weather for a viking raid.

Or in this case...

If anyone was around, they would have heard a sound like distant rhythmic thunder start to come out of the fog. It got louder and closer until it became possible to pick out many rough deep inhuman voices in it, along with the rhythmic boom, boom of many large feet hitting the ground in unison.

Gradually large dark shadows appeared in the fog, revealing themselves as very large, very ugly.... things. If anyone was watching and knew anything about certain non-human species, they would've recognised them as trolls.

Row upon row of lots of big, ugly, vicious, dim-witted trolls stomped their way out of the fog. When they were all through, the two trolls at the head of the group called a halt to the group. You could tell they were the leaders because they both wore shiny helmets with big pointy horns on them.

"Right!" the first one, Grrarg, yelled. "We have orders. Group... you guys here," he said, waving his hand at the left handed side of the troll horde, not quite sure of counting to one. "Follow me. We go to where the females are. Protect them, stomp on anything trying to hurt them. Maybe get laid."

A cheer went up from the trolls he'd indicated, while the others looked maybe a little annoyed that they weren't chosen. Maybe not. It was hard to tell with trolls as they always looked a little annoyed.

The second leader troll, Gragrr, addressed the possibly annoyed trolls. "We go church," he said. There was a long pause as the horde waited for more, but that seemed to be Gragrr's entire motivational speech. A half-hearted cheer went up from his group more out of duty than real enthusiasm.

"Right!" Grrarg yelled, raising his large cudgel (which he called Big Stick Good For Hitting Things) over his head. "We go now! Everyone follow!"

Slowly with a lot of grumbling and other less pleasant but nonetheless usual troll noises, the group split into two and headed down the streets of Fandom to their chosen destinations.

But trolls were not known for the focus, or their dedication to a cause and as they went, a large number got distracted by all the lovely things they were passing that they could smash. As a troll brain was very small, it took little to no effort for them to forget their orders and convince themselves that they were really here to loot and pillage and rampage. Most trolls could turn anything into an imperative to loot and pillage and rampage. It was a genetic gift.

So it was that the groups that arrived at Efferton and at the church were much smaller than the groups that had started out from the causeway. And there were random groups of trolls running around Fandom having a trollish good old time hitting and smashing things.

Aeryn hits the ground shoulder first, but doesn't even think about it. Also, out of the corner of her eye she can see where John is on the ground.

She gets up again quickly, lowering her weapon to see if that gets the thing to back off.

Okay, now Aeryn shoots a few times, and runs behind the building where she saw John.

Making sure she hasn't been followed, she kneels by John to make sure he's still breathing, and tries waking him by shaking his shoulder lightly, hoping it's not the injured one.

John mumbles under his breath, shakes his head and grimaces.

"Wake up," she hisses. "We have to get out of here."

He blinks his eyes open and stares at her. "Aeryn?"

"Yes," she says. "Can you stand?"

"Yes," he says, reaching for her hand.

She gets up, pulling him to his feet. "If we go back behind the building, we can cut across without them noticing us. Alert the authorities and get some help. Can you walk?" Because just because a person can stand...

"I can walk," he says, holding his head. "And what? If you're staying, I'm staying."

"You're injured," she says quietly. "We're going back to the school and getting help. No staying here. My pulse weapons don't work on them. Come on." And she tugs at his hand to start off.

"I'm okay," he says but follows anyway.

She doesn't believe that, but right now she's more intent on getting back to the school.
