Kjell (half-elf barbarian): I call Maria on the Sending Stone. Maria, are you there?
DM: You wait about thirty seconds.
Kjell: After ten seconds I say, We found the Tarrasque.
DM: *instantly* "You've what?"
Kjell: Yeah, thought that'd get your attention...
DM: "Where are you?"
Una (genasi artificer): The Crownkeeper's lodge? It's underneath that.
DM: "The Tarrasque is in the Red Mountain?"
Una: Yeah.
Kjell: Along with a proto-Tarrasque and a centipede Tarrasque.
Seraph (siren sorcerer): Don't forget the fifty smaller experiment Tarrasques.
Kjell: They're all asleep.
Billie (gnome ardent): Except for the one with Far Realm blood, but it seems to be contained.
DM: There's a stunned silence.
Una: Is this a good enough emergency to call you with?
DM: She says slowly, "Yes, Una. This sounds like an emergency."

49 for cadina
49. “Who hurt you?”
Regina is a few minutes away from the school when she spots someone sitting by the side of the road.
She's about to swerve and give them a wide berth as she passes, until she sees who it is, and she slams on her brakes instead.
It's Cady.
Cady looks up as Regina screeches to a halt, her face streaked with tears. Regina feels her breath get shallow as anxiety rises in her chest. She smacks the hazard light button and climbs out of the car.
"Cady? Are you okay?" Regina crouches down next to Cady and scans her face. Aside from some smeared mascara and red eyes, she seems mostly okay.
"I'm fine," Cady says, sniffling.
Regina sees Cady is clutching her knee, the skin scraped raw, and Regina sees red.
"Who hurt you? Who did this?" she growls, her vision almost blurring with how quickly her anger rushes through her.
"What? No one," Cady says, looking confused.
"Who, Cady?" Regina asks again, more urgently, gripping Cady's shoulders. Cady's head bobs a little with the motion. "I'll kill them right now. Nobody will find the body."
"Regina! Nobody hurt me," Cady insists. "I fell off my bike." She points a few feet behind her, where there is indeed a bike lying on its side in some bushes.
All of Regina's anger drains out of her body at once, like someone pulled a plug. Cady is okay, she repeats to herself.
"Sorry," Regina says, feeling a little embarrassed at her overreaction. "I just saw you crying by the side of the road, and..." She trails off.
"Well, it hurt." Cady turns her palms up, and they're scraped, too.
"Yeah, I bet it does." Regina fishes in her purse for some tissues, presses one to Cady's bleeding knee. "Where's your helmet?"
Cady shrugs. "I forgot it."
"You were riding your bike without a helmet?!"
"What are you, my mom?"
"No, but I'll tell your mom," Regina threatens, and when Cady's eyes widen she waves a hand. "Kidding, kidding."
"Thanks," Cady says, smiling a little, and Regina brushes a lock of red hair out of Cady's face without thinking, barely resisting the urge to cup Cady's face and brush the tears away with her thumbs. "And thanks for, you know, offering to kill someone for me."
"Of course I would," Regina says. "Isn't that what friendship is?"
Cady laughs and gives Regina a smile—Regina's favorite smile of Cady's, the one that feels like it's just for her, affectionate and fond and intimate, crinkling the corners of her eyes. The smile that always makes Regina smile reflexively back, the one that makes her heart beat a little faster.
"Come on," Regina says, standing and offering Cady a hand. Then she remembers that Cady's hands and scraped and gross, so Regina just kind of hauls her up by the arms. "I'm driving you home."
"But what about my bike?" Cady asks.
"Someone can come back for it later," Regina says, opening the passenger door for Cady. "But I think this is a sign you should retire that thing. How many times have you crashed it now?"
"I'm getting better," Cady insists.
"Lord save us all when you start driving," Regina says as she buckles herself in.
Cady pouts and crosses her arms, so Regina reaches over and squeezes Cady's leg. Cady looks a little startled, and Regina realizes how high up on Cady's though her hand is, and she quickly brings it back to the steering wheel, her palm burning from the contact.
Driving Cady around might be better for Cady's safety, but definitely not for Regina's own sanity.

Hamish (playing Thaddeus): Alright, now can we call Maria? We have the Tarrasque, in the flesh; the centipede that is supposed to surpass it and destroy everything; a madman partially mutated into a humanoid Tarrasque; and 30-40 more miniature Tarrasques that might be on our side.
Tati (playing Seraph): *hesitant* I absolutely agree that we have all the evidence we need. But if they're not going to wake up and be a problem for another thousand years, Maria will cut us off.
Hamish: Will she?
Tati: She said, and I quote, "If you abuse the Sending Stone I will not hesitate to destroy it."
Hamish: *exasperated* This is not abusing it!
DM: Look, I think I oversold Maria's goodbye. She's still happy to be friends, she just wants to live as if she's level 4. She's tired.
Adam (playing Billie): I asked if I could still call to catch up as long as I wasn't asking Maria for help, and that's when she threatened to destroy the Stone.
DM: Okay, that was a mistake. I just wanted to take away the deus ex machina. She can't be there as an option any time you want help.
Hamish: Has she ever actually done anything for us?
Tati: No. She's advised us a few times, but she's never actually helped. She just whines about how much we ask her stuff.
DM: You can still be friends with her. Just no big adventurer stuff. She wants you to forget she's high level.
Hamish: Either way, this is definitely within the realm of 'world is ending' stuff she said we were still allowed to call her in for.
Marijn (playing Godric): Let's sleep on it.
Hamish: *sighs*
