There are also the full gambit of <b>pigs [G-]</b>,<b> hogs [G+]</b>, and <b>boars [F]</b>.

Beastmen Zombies [E] are very rare in the woods and lakes around the Koyake Clan, but they are occasionally sighted feeding on the dead and dying. The biggest danger and something to watch out for is that it is never clear when an undead is truly dead or just waiting for the scent of blood and brain to animate it again!

While the Koyake Clan has rich rice fields, not all in the Shogunate are so fortunate. Villages are overran by the hungry dead, beast tides, and cursed with famine among other calamities that can bring otherwise prosperous clans down low. The same can happen to individuals within clans, especially those with little talent and less to offer who fail to find success at banditry or slaving. These vagabonds and outcasts are poor, hungry, and prey for so many predators in the Beastlands that they rarely last long!<br></li><li class="bbTabContent" id="tab_1736444542" style="display: none;"><br>
Long thought extinct, the Gerbie were recently spotted and one killed in a copse of forest behind the Ten Thousand Peony Blossom. Mammals and reptilians have a desire to protect and generally feel goodwill towards a Gerbie while within 100 feet of them unless the person can actively resist vs E7. This assumes they want to get rid of the feeling or even realize it is coming from them or why. Assume E6 to realize or know with appropriate skills (e.g. survival, academia) or any other relevant reason (e.g. misanthropy).<br></li></ul>

A little about me. I am new to the Isekai Hell rule system, but I feel like I have a decent grasp on the rules. This is an exercise in exploring the rules while running a game. I really enjoy running games and find myself doing that quite a lot. In fact, I’ve been running games for over 20 years, and I have an Isekai campaign that I want to eventually run in this universe. Before that, I want to run a few one-offs or maybe it’s all tied together. We’ll see.<br></li><li class="bbTabContent" id="tab_1736444544" style="display: none;"><br>
In reading the rules for Isekai Hell, I have observed that it’s largely deterministic with a rules-lite skeleton to keep things grounded and expectations easier to manage. I am a big fan of players helping to flesh out a scene proactively and without needing to put in endless qualifiers in their posts. As such, I will allow two situations where you can gain a bonus to effectiveness:<br>
<ol>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Scene Enhancing Stunt. In Exalted there is a notion of stunting, which allows characters to take their skills and abilities beyond the bounds or at least be creative with them to enhance the story for everyone. While everyone who participates in IH is expected to write well thought out, multiple paragraph posts. A stunt in this sense, builds and enhances the existing scene making everything cooler and more fun. If you do this, you can take a +1 to the effectiveness during the post, limit once per scene.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol">Acting on a Goal. All players are required to have 3 goals per thread. If a player takes an action to support or further their goal, they can gain a +1 to effectiveness during the post, limit once per scene.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ol"><b>Other Cases.</b> There are other things that could impact effectiveness, such as narrative situation, special ability effects at play, and any other mechanics from the Isekai Hell rules system. You cannot use an ability in combat without an item (as it pertains to dealing damage, special effects, or some form of defense). Actions without abilities treat the ability grade as being worth 0 points.</li>
</ol></li><li class="bbTabContent" id="tab_1736444545" style="display: none;"><br>
<b>Using skills and narrating success.</b> I would rather bias for pacing and momentum plus IH is designed to be a framework in which stories are made. The emphasis is on stories and pacing is an important component of a story’s success. As such, I’d rather you error on moving the plot forward. I can always introduce a twist or complication to balance things out or help ensure the story remains interesting.<br>
<br>
<i>Scenes will often have a setup like this: </i><br>
<br>
<b>Setting:</b><i> 1-3 paragraphs of flavor text.</i><br>

The newly established Shrine of the Cleansed Curses, now under the divine protection of Uriel, the Shield Archon, is a sight to behold. Reborn from the darkness of the Nightmare Swamp, the shrine stands as a testament to the celestial purification and renewal that have taken place.<br>
<br>
The shrine is nestled in the heart of a vibrant, sprawling tree that has emerged from the swamp's remnants. The tree, now called the Sacred Tree of Aegrizora, is a towering marvel of nature, its branches reaching high into the heavens, shimmering with a gentle golden light that seems to pulse with the tree's life force. Its bark is an intricate mosaic of earthy hues - deep browns, warm ambers, and rich greens that blend seamlessly with the surrounding foliage.<br>
<br>
The shrine itself is nestled within the tree's massive trunk. Carved out of the living wood, it is a cavernous sanctuary, its walls adorned with intricate celestial symbols and runes that glow with a soft, ethereal light. The air within the shrine is fresh and invigorating, carrying the faint scent of fresh leaves and blooming flowers, a constant reminder of the shrine's strong bond with nature.<br>
<br>
Above, within the massive canopy, a series of wooden platforms and dwellings have been constructed, offering living quarters to Uriel's celestial forces. These structures are seamlessly integrated into the tree's design, appearing as natural extensions of the branches they are built upon. Here, amidst the rustling leaves and chirping birds, the celestial beings find their rest, their radiant forms blending with the golden light filtering through the leaves.<br>
<br>
Around the shrine, the swamp has been transformed into a serene lake dotted with verdant hillocks. The water is crystal clear, reflecting the sky above and the radiant glow of the shrine. The hillocks, each a miniature island of flourishing green, provide additional space for conversation, contemplation, and camping, their grassy surfaces soft and inviting.<br>
<br>
Overall, the Shrine of the Cleansed Curses has become a haven of tranquility, a beacon of celestial light in the heart of the forest, radiating an aura of peace, hope, and divine protection under Uriel's vigilant watch.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Once a chaotic, contested space, the portal area now shines with a new sense of order and serenity under Uriel's reign. The Fair Folk, once the unruly denizens of the place, have been driven off, and in their wake, celestial forces have instilled an aura of tranquility and divine authority.<br>
<br>
The portal itself, once pulsating with a wild, unpredictable energy, has been stabilized. It now emits a steady, iridescent glow, the colors dancing and shifting like the surface of a soap bubble. The violent eruptions of magic and reality distortion that once characterized it have ceased, replaced by a serene hum that resonates with the celestial harmony that Uriel and his forces represent.<br>
<br>
Around the portal, the landscape has been reshaped and sanctified. The wild, untamed vegetation has been tamed and arranged into a lush, orderly garden of heavenly blooms that exude a soft, ethereal glow in the moonlight. The ground, once littered with the remnants of the Fair Folk's mischievous deeds, has been cleansed and covered with a carpet of soft, vibrant moss that seems to pulse with the heartbeat of the celestial realm.<br>
<br>
Guarding the portal are Uriel's celestial forces, their radiant forms standing tall and vigilant. Their shining armors and serene faces radiate an aura of calm authority, their gaze unwavering as they keep a watchful eye on the portal and its surroundings. Their presence alone discourages any ill-intentioned creatures from approaching, providing a palpable sense of security to those who walk this hallowed ground.<br>
<br>
The air here is filled with a heavenly melody, a celestial hymn that seems to seep from the very fabric of the place, enveloping all who step into the portal area with a sense of peace and reverence.<br>
<br>
What was once a chaotic, dangerous place has been transformed under Uriel's watchful eye into a sacred gateway, a serene bridge between the celestial and earthly realms, reflecting the divine order and peace that now rule in the heart of the forest.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Uriel, the Shield Archon, is a figure of celestial majesty, standing tall and imposing. With his hair a radiant gold and eyes a luminous blue that echoes the clarity of a serene sky, he carries an aura of divine serenity that is both comforting and awe-inspiring. His complexion is a flawless ivory, and his strong, chiseled features bear the calmness of an eternal guardian. Dressed in gleaming white and gold armor, Uriel emanates a soft, warm light that seems to pulse in rhythm with his calm, measured heartbeat. His large, majestic wings shimmer with iridescent feathers, each one catching the light in a dance of colors, from the purest white to the softest gold. In his hand, he carries a mighty shield, an emblem of his unwavering dedication to protection and justice.<br>
<br>
Uriel's celestial forces, his loyal compatriots, mirror his divine magnificence in their own unique ways. Each one is a being of celestial grandeur, their radiant forms varying from the humble yet firm Hound Archons to the majestic and awe-inspiring Planetars. They all bear the markings of their divine origin – the radiant glow, the colors of the sky and heavens, the strong and noble features, and an aura of peace and tranquility that seems to follow them wherever they go.<br>
<br>
The Hound Archons, humanoid in form but with the noble and loyal features of a hound, serve as the loyal foot soldiers. Dressed in armor that gleams with a heavenly light, they carry their weapons with a disciplined grace that speaks volumes of their training and dedication.<br>
<br>
Planetars, the towering celestial beings, bear a striking resemblance to Uriel himself, with their massive wings and shining armor. Their presence alone is enough to inspire awe and respect, and their strength is a testament to their role as the mightiest warriors of the celestial forces.<br>
<br>
Together, Uriel and his celestial forces stand as a beacon of hope, their divine presence a testament to their ceaseless vigilance and unwavering commitment to their protective duty.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">In the aftermath of Kai's attack and the subsequent driving off of the Fair Folk, the flying monkeys found themselves in a state of disarray. Once under the thrall of the Fair Folk, these creatures had been used as scouts, messengers, and sometimes even as soldiers. But with the Fair Folk gone, they were left leaderless and confused.<br>
<br>
Their numbers had been drastically reduced in the conflict. Many had fallen victim to the intense combat, leaving the survivors injured and demoralized. The once lively and chaotic chatter that filled the air had been replaced with an eerie silence. The monkeys huddled together in small groups, their wings folded tightly around their bodies, their eyes reflecting a sense of loss and uncertainty.<br>
<br>
Despite their plight, the inherent adaptability of these creatures began to show. Slowly but surely, they started to reorganize themselves. The stronger and more experienced among them took charge, leading the others in search of food and shelter. The flying monkeys began to claim the trees surrounding the swamp-turned-lake as their new home, their chitters and calls gradually returning to the air.<br>
<br>
Interestingly, their interaction with the other creatures in the area also started to change. No longer seen as a threat, they were now being tolerated, and in some cases, even assisted by the other inhabitants. They cautiously began forming alliances, trading their skills of flight and keen eyesight for protection and sustenance.<br>
<br>
However, their future remained uncertain. Their numbers were still precariously low, and the power vacuum left by the Fair Folk continued to loom over them. The flying monkeys, while slowly adapting to their new circumstances, remained vigilant, ready to fly at the first sign of danger.<br>
<br>
<b>1. **Zephyr:** </b><br>
<br>
Zephyr is a relatively older flying monkey who has assumed the role of the de facto leader after the Fair Folk were driven away. His fur has turned silvery-grey with age, and his wings, while not as spry as they once were, still carry a powerful beat. His eyes, wise and observant, miss nothing. <br>
<br>
Zephyr is respected and often looked upon for guidance by the other flying monkeys. His experience and wisdom, acquired over the years, have proven invaluable in their attempts to reorganize and survive in the new environment. Zephyr, despite the burden of leadership, has a warm and nurturing side, often seen looking after the younger members and the injured. His voice carries a note of authority, but also a comforting warmth that has become a source of solace for his tribe in these trying times.<br>
<br>
<b>2. **Kiki:**</b><br>
<br>
Kiki is a young, vibrant female flying monkey known for her agility and quick wit. Her fur is a glossy, dark brown, and her eyes sparkle with mischief and curiosity. Despite her youth, she has proven herself to be a capable scout and messenger, using her speed and keen senses to her advantage.<br>
<br>
Kiki is adventurous and fearless, often volunteering for the most challenging tasks. Her spirited personality and courage have made her popular among the younger members of the tribe. However, her impulsiveness can sometimes land her in trouble, and she often relies on Zephyr's wisdom to bail her out. Her laughter and chittering are a common sound in the trees, bringing a sense of cheerfulness and hope to the otherwise grim situation. Despite the hardships, Kiki remains optimistic, embodying the resilience of her tribe.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Riku, once a man of slippery smiles and slicked-back hair, was a figure that had evolved significantly in the midst of their trials. Still donning his signature black leather armor, holding his yari with a nonchalant ease, he had an air of a charming scoundrel, a merchant who'd managed to talk his way into the role of a cavalry captain. Yet, there was a new layer to him, a subtle polish added by the realization that aligning himself with Yukan could be a beneficial move. The sleaziness was not entirely gone, but it had been tempered, somewhat, by a newfound sense of respect for Yukan and his circle. <br>
<br>
He stood tall amidst his forces, a motley collection of beastkin warriors. The dire boar cavalry was a formidable sight, the warriors astride their massive, snorting mounts, their bodies clad in the same intimidating blend of leather and iron as their leader. The Tanuki spear wielders stood at attention, their agile forms poised for swift movements, while the Tanuki archers, their bows at the ready, scanned the horizon with keen, vigilant eyes. <br>
<br>
Among them was a Shrine Maiden, Yumeko, whose presence was a calming contrast to the battle-hardened warriors. Her faded indigo robe was a stark difference to the intimidating armors, and her soothing green eyes held a wisdom that came from years of healing and nurturing. Yumeko stood as a beacon of hope amidst the warriors, her gentle demeanor providing a sense of comfort and tranquility. <br>
<br>
Riku's interactions with Yukan and his companions were charged with a different energy now. The slick, fast-talking merchant was still there, but he seemed more conscious of his words, a charm that was no longer just superficial. He addressed Yukan and his allies with a respect that was genuine, his sly smiles now carrying a hint of admiration. The dynamics of power had shifted and Riku had adapted, realizing that in unity and cooperation there lay a strength that could be more valuable than any solo victory. <br>
<br>
As the forces prepared to leave the now tranquil swamp, the sense of unity was palpable. The usual cacophony of preparation was replaced by a harmonious symphony of collaboration. This was a new chapter in their journey, a chapter that promised a future where their collective strength could overcome any adversary, be it the elusive Hill Toad or the formidable White Witch.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Masanori Tashigoto, a figure of authority and influence, was a notable presence in the group. A full-blooded Tanuki and nephew to the clan leader, he carried himself with an air of dignified assurance, reflecting his lineage and standing. His fur was a rich, dark russet, his eyes a deep, thoughtful brown, always analyzing and strategizing. A pragmatic leader and a shrewd negotiator, Tashigoto was always found in the thick of logistics and planning.<br>
<br>
Unlike the flashy Riku, Tashigoto's command was understated yet firm. His voice carried an even, measured tone that demanded attention. He was a leader who understood the value of every individual's contribution and the importance of distributing credit evenly. In a group teetering on the brink of internal power struggles, his balanced approach was a stabilizing factor.<br>
<br>
Tashigoto's attire was a reflection of his practicality. He wore a simple but well-made kimono, dyed in shades of earth and forest, with an understated pattern of swirling leaves. His obi was a muted gold, cinched neatly around his waist. His gear, mostly consisting of scrolls and pouches filled with maps and tools, were neatly arranged around his person, always within easy reach.<br>
<br>
His strategy was not limited to the battlefield alone. Tashigoto was adept at navigating the intricate maze of clan politics and interpersonal dynamics, a skill that was increasingly necessary as the group's journey progressed. He was a master at maintaining a balance, ensuring that no one's contribution was overshadowed by another's ambition.<br>
<br>
Tashigoto's relationship with his cousin Riku was a complex one. While he respected Riku's leadership skills, he was also wary of his cousin's ambition and knack for hogging the limelight. Tashigoto understood the potential fallout if Riku's actions were left unchecked, and he was not hesitant to express his concerns to Yukan.<br>
<br>
Despite his stern exterior, Tashigoto had a softer side as well. He was deeply loyal to his comrades, always ready to back them up in times of trouble. His concern for the team's unity and morale was sincere, a trait that endeared him to many within the group. He believed in the strength of unity, and he was willing to go to great lengths to preserve it. <br>
<br>
Masanori Tashigoto, a true-born Tanuki, was indeed a crucial part of the group's dynamic. His practicality, keen insight, and dedication to the team's well-being made him an invaluable asset in their ongoing journey.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Gyoubu, the tanuki Shrine Maiden, was a figure of ever-shifting moods and expressions, much like the seasons that shaped the land she served. With her short hair the color of aged bark, she was a distinctive presence amidst the group. The way her eyes twinkled with mischief one moment, then softened into serene contemplation, or hardened into a vindictive glare the next, kept those around her on their toes.<br>
<br>
Her face, often serene, was like the tranquil surface of a pond, reflecting the world around her with a stillness that belied the depths beneath. Yet, in an instant, she could shift, her features lighting up with the impish charm that was a signature trait of her tanuki heritage. It was in these moments that her true nature shone through, her eyes sparkling with mischief as a grin tugged at the corners of her lips. <br>
<br>
Yet, there was another side to Gyoubu, a vindictive streak that flared up when the sanctity of the shrine was threatened or when she perceived an injustice being done. In these instances, her eyes would harden into flint, and her usually soft voice would adopt a steely undertone. Despite her small stature and gentle demeanor, she had a powerful presence that could silence a room.<br>
<br>
Gyoubu was clad in the traditional attire of a Shrine Maiden, her kimono of pristine white contrasted against her dark hair and the deep red of the obi sash at her waist. She moved with a grace and precision that spoke of years of ritual and reverence, her hands often busy with charms or prayer beads.<br>
<br>
Yet, for all her changeability, Gyoubu was a steadfast constant when it came to her feelings for Yukan. Her affection for him was as subtle as it was enduring, glimpsed in the fond glances she cast his way when she thought no one was looking, or in the extra care she took when offering him her healing abilities. <br>
<br>
Gyoubu, in all her seasonal shifts and moods, was an integral part of the group's dynamic. Her steadfast devotion to the shrine, her ability to adapt to situations, and her unspoken love for Yukan, all combined to create a character of great depth and intrigue.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Whiteclaw, the Owlkin scout, was a figure of quiet authority amidst the troops. He hailed from the Ryozo clan, a group once known as the powerful Aritomo clan of white owlkin. Now, they were a diminished but crucial part of the Koyake Clan, where Yukan, Gyoubu, and Masanori belonged. His plumage, a pristine white, hinted at his clan's former glory, and his sharp, amber eyes held the wisdom and alertness inherent in his species.<br>
<br>
Whiteclaw was tall and imposing, his wings folded against his back when not in flight, and his talons clicking softly against the ground as he moved. The rest of his unit consisted of two other owlkin and two Tengu Shadow Assassins, forming a capable and coordinated scouting team. Despite the diversity in his unit, he led them with an easy calm, his orders clear and concise.<br>
<br>
During training drills, Whiteclaw often let silence spread around him, allowing his team to communicate through the minute movements and signals they had developed. His guidance was subtle and his trust in his team apparent. He was also an effective communicator, explaining the quirks of their prey, the Hill Toads, with the expertise of a seasoned hunter.<br>
<br>
In battle, Whiteclaw was a force to be reckoned with, his taunts echoing from the trees as he and his team launched their attacks. His agility and ability to use the environment to his advantage made him a formidable adversary.<br>
<br>
His Tengu Shadow Assassins were skilled in their own right, their black-feathered wings allowing them to glide back and forth in the midst of battle. Their laughter was eerie, their attacks precise, and their use of alchemical smoke balls for quick getaways a testament to their cunning. Their attacks may not have always been the most effective against heavy defenses, but their ability to create confusion and disorder within enemy ranks was invaluable.<br>
<br>
Together, Whiteclaw and his unit were a well-coordinated and highly skilled team, their diverse abilities complementing each other to create a formidable force. Their loyalty to Yukan and the Koyake Clan was unyielding, their determination unshaken, making them an essential part of the Tanuki forces.</div>

<br>
As dawn broke over the tranquil surroundings of the celestial shrine, the former swamp shimmered with dew-kissed light, a serene lake now occupying the heart of the terrain. The hillocks, once detestable mounds of swamp muck, now stood as verdant isles scattered across the azure expanse. At the center, the celestial shrine glowed with a soft luminescence, a constant reminder of the victory won and the transformation that had occurred.<br>
<br>
The inhabitants of this dreamlike landscape began to stir, each to their own rhythms. Yukan and his allies woke up to the serene chirping of birds and the soft rustle of leaves, a stark contrast to the eerie silence that had once gripped the swamp. The familiar smell of cooking wafted through the air as the group began preparations for their morning meal.<br>
<br>
A sense of calm anticipation filled the air. This day marked their departure from the dream realm, a step back into their pursuit of the Hill Toad and the White Witch. Despite the enormity of the task ahead, the group was in high spirits, buoyed by their recent victory and the promise of the journey ahead.<br>
<br>
Across the lake, the celestial figure of Uriel stood watch over the shrine, his armored form shimmering in the early morning light. His celestial force, a host of gleaming warriors, patrolled the perimeter of the shrine. Their presence was a comforting assurance, a strong deterrent against any who would dare threaten the sanctity of the shrine.<br>
<br>
Everyone busied themselves with packing their belongings, their movements efficient and swift. The dire boar cavalry, the Tanuki spear and archer units, and the healer, all played their parts in the preparations, their actions a well-rehearsed dance of readiness.<br>
<br>
The morning wore on, and as the sun climbed higher in the sky, the time for departure drew near. One by one, the group gathered around Yukan, their faces reflecting a mix of determination and anticipation. The serene lake, the hillocks, and the celestial shrine were soon to be a memory, a testament to the journey they had undertaken.<br>
<br>
With a final glance towards the shimmering shrine................<br>

Out of his many questions, only a few had been answered. The new guardian was Uriel, Bastion of Heaven's Might. He was indeed a good choice. <br>
<br>
Swazuki's tale was a peculiar one. She was after some sort of white witch. The same one involved with Indicus' potions. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“This witch must be stopped.”</b></span> He simply concluded. She was clearly more involved with the shrine's corruption than expected, having used Sawazuki as a tool for her nefarious purposes. <br>
<br>
He then turned to the others. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Now that I no longer have to hide myself, I'd like to discuss our goals here. I'd like to find this White Witch and see if she's responsible for the Shrine's former state. I'd also like to meet Longfeather, to question him about his knowledge and involvement in all of this. Truth be told, I have little interest in this Hill Toad I heard about, but in exchange for the help I was granted cleansing this shrine, I'm willing to aid the quest to find it. Of course, as a Syncretist Bishop, I am generally bound to aid whomever is working towards the greater good in the world, so I shall not abandon those that are in honest need of aid.”</b></span> He looked at the others, unsure of where everyone's thoughts and plans were at.</div>

Newly equiped, Ko gazed around once more... Beautiful Just beautiful... If he were a writer he'd make a haiku about this place. But each moment thinking about poetry reminds him of his father who tried beating it into him, so, he'd rather not go back there mentally. Physically he'd like to burn that study room to the ground with his father in it. <br>
<br>
But thats a story for another time for he was being addressed by the fellow canid, which he was bound to listen to. The younger man heard his words, dripping with sincerity and goodness, who was Ko to deny him, if he had done all this...<br>
<br>

"If you could do all this, why are we waiting here when that lady from before who got stabbed by that assassin is still probably on death's door? Unless the land burst with your magic...<br>
<br>
And why didn't you do something powerful to save her then? Is your strength so controversial? Worried people can demand of you? Because they will, give em a chance and they'll try to even make the holy beings here bow." Ko opened his arms wide, he'd stepped out for abit as others had done work... Hop in a portal, hop in another... But here he was back. <br>
<br>
With a fancier mithril sword and a duo of blades at his waist, three swords now hang upon him. The mithril blade hummed softly with a soft buzzing, it seems he has yet to fully figure out how to turn it off... <br>
<br>
"But, with that said, I need a job, and if theres work I'll be here to do it. Though I don't know why so many are out there with noble flitting about..."</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">It was a busy time with Kai, as he was the one that had given the orders to run the fae out of the area, in a way he could have been considered the leader of the monkeys, however, Kai himself denied this. He had explained to the creatures, that he was thankful for assisting him, however, he would not rule over them, <i>he would not have them trade one master for another.</i> Besides he did not wish to spend his years in this plane and wanted to get back to reality as he new it. Kai did however, try his best to get the rest of it's denizens to accept the flying primates, even talking to Uriel the guardian of this shrine to help smooth over their transition. Kai while not agreeing to rule over them, still held responsibility to their existence and their current state. He was glad that the Monkeys seemed to be following their own direction, under the wisdom of Zephyr.<br>
<br>
Kai would approach the rest of the group with Ceylan being their guiding light, Kai himself didn't get much time to interact with the rest of the group as he focused on repaying debts in order to help the flying monkey's transition into becoming part of the shine's community of guardians, along with procuring another weapon.<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)"> "I don't really know who this White Witch is or whatever is going on, but I've got nowhere to go, so ya don't mind if I tag along?"</span> Kai would ask Ceylan and Yukan in particular as they seemed to take a leadership role in this. Kai then looked at Ko and then Yukan, waiting for a sign for him to remember what he had been told, before sighing. <span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">"Speaking of nobles, Yukan, a certain Baroness Caelia, from the country of Ryken would like to meet ya."</span> Kai would send the message along to Yukan. <br>

For Yukan these events unfolding favorably was quite a relief given his position in the whole situation. The fact that no allies had perished was pretty miraculous in it's own right. Even now it seemed that Riku saw Yukan more favorably after their success, whatever the reason was, Yukan wasn't bothered by it, as truthfully the more allies he could get, the better his long term aspirations would be. He needed to grow in power to actualize what he believed was just. In addition seeing the shrine in such a grand state now made Yukan feel relieved, the fact that they had restored a religious site which was significant to Kuridan's traditional main  religion was most refreshing. <br>
<br>
Truthfully the god(s) had smiled favorably upon them that day, or he had been incredibly lucky, it didn't sound like he'd be finding out very soon one way or another.<br>
<br>
What Yukan hadn't been entirely expecting to hear however was Ceylan come forward and disclose information about himself to the group at large.  "I see..so you're with the Syncretists.." Yukan said sounding serious and neutral on the topic. <br>
<br>
"I suppose it's understandable that you are not interested in a festival which is taking place beyond your own region's borders as far as the toad goes. Regardless of that I too personally  am of the belief that we should make it part of our integral function moving forward to find and cease this witch's activities. While I originally came through to hunt for the hill  toads, the main reason I've been pursuing other trails  with the resources I've been a lotted is to find out exactly what was sewing the destruction, and now apparently corruption as the shrine's former state suggested, as I view it as a great security risk to Kuridan if this witch is capable of all of what we have seen today, I am certain that we would be hard pressed to find one among us who does not view this as a most serious issue which needs to be addressed, the toads will still be waiting for us after she is vanquished."<br>
<br>
Truthfully Yukan did not believe in the current state of Kuridan's administration  that any serious action would be taken quickly enough even if they reported it to the proper authorities and went on with the hunt. More lives would be lost if they did not act with haste and precision. <br>
Yukan looked to Ko then back to Ceylan, as well as Ko's points were taken that why hadn't Ceylan been more forth coming if he had the abilities since it was pretty clear he could have acted more to his full potential earlier, Yukan did not feel it necessary to push the topic.<br>
<br>
Instead after looking to Ko, he went into a small bow, "Indeed I believe that there is work for you to be done, in assisting us with stopping this witch." <br>
<br>
Yukan found Kai's next bit also..interesting, He wasn't sure what Kai meant that he had no where to be, but if he was offering to help deal with the issue of the witch that was no issue to Yukan.<br>
<br>
Yukan gave a small bow toward Kai as well.<br>
<br>
"I am personally inclined to allow you to join us in our quest as you understand the risks and still wish to proceed with us.  You went  against all odds stood up against very powerful adversaries, and have set us up to proceed forward, I believe that someone of your abilities would be most beneficial."<br>
<br>
He looked curious when Kai mentioned Ryken, A Barnoness from Ryken of all people? Ryken was a place of many humans, Yukan knew that much.<br>
<br>
"A Baronness from all that way away wishes to see me.." Yukan repeated to no one in particular.<br>
<br>
"Very well, perhaps I'll have to go and meet this Baroness at some point when I have finished my tasks at hand." <br>
<br>
Yukan found that to be most peculiar, never would he have guessed a baroness would want to meet someone like him, he wasn't even a particularly a  high rank yet in Kuridan, sure he had noble blood, perhaps that was enough for her? Someone must have spoken to her about him in a positive light for her to even know of his existence.  Regardless it sounded like this created a potential opportunity which could be beneficial for him.</div>

<br>
For just a split second, he was a bit annoyed. Then the emotion faded and turned into a gentle smile as he turned to Ko. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“As I explained before, I was asked to keep a low profile by Longfeather, the priest who asked me to come here. Considering I didn't know the reason for this request, I tried to abide by it until I was forced to stop doing so. I can also assure you that I've healed Sawazuki to a stable and healthy condition.”</b></span> <s>It was almost like Ko had missed an entire Ceylan post of him doing and saying all that.</s><br>
<br>
As for the other part, Ceylan shook his head. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I'm afraid I'm unaware of the reason for Longfeather's request. It's what bothers me, considering I wasn't able to abide by it and don't know the consequences of it. Perhaps your guess is correct and I'll have people come after me for my powers. It wouldn't be the first time either, especially going close to the East Empire borders is a risk for someone like me.”</b></span> He still remembered how he almost got enslaved. That wasn't a good time. Or how he had his legs chewed on like a piece of gum by ogres. He should probably hire a guard or find a paladin to support him... Well, that was a worry for later.<br>
<br>
He was a little surprised that he seemed to be considered part of the leadership by Kai, as the latter didn't seem to solely address Yukan with his question. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I'm afraid it's not up to me to make the final decision, but I would welcome any extra aid in getting this all sorted out.”</b></span> He replied, his tail giving a gentle wag.<br>
<br>
As Yukan replied to him, he tried using [Empathy D] to see if there was more to the neutrality in Yukan's tone. Did he not like the Syncretists? That might be problematic. He was surprised by Yukan's next words. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Truth be told, I wasn't even aware this hill toad was part of a festival.”</b></span> He admitted. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I am glad to hear we're in agreement.”</b></span> He replied to Yukan listing his priorities, his tail wagging in agreement as well.<br>
<br>
He heard mention of some baroness, but wasn't sure what to make of it. He preferred not to deal with nobles too often. Those things got messy. Yukan might be an exception, in as far as the Tanuki could even be counted as a noble. That said, he still commanded an army. An army Ceylan could use a favour from. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Say, Yukan, would you allow me to question Gyoubu about her tasks as a healer during battle and her to freely answer my questions? I believe I still have a lot to learn from her in that regard.”</b></span> He'd mentioned it before, but he wasn't sure how freely people would be able and/or willing to talk about such topics, so he figured it best to check again. He'd rather not be considered an enemy spy or threat to their army's secrets on accident.</div>

"....Are... You speaking of... Regula...? That... Baronness?" He shivered lightly, a small tail wag. "Look, just... Right, yes she's fine. Shes the one who made my weaponry here." He showed the swords on his belt, but looking a light bit pale. <br>
<br>
"She likes beastfolk, like, really likes beastfolk..." he trailed off, not... DAREING to speak anymotr on the matter... <br>

<br>
A witch! Toads! <br>

Hill toads! You need them for something yea? Then we find the toad! Surely it'll be on a hill or something like their name. Theres no reason to dwell on any foolishness when we have work to do!" He did his best to try and sound convincing, which, he was right... But... seemed to be hiding something for sure. "...What even IS a hill toad? Is it speacial...? Is it a person toad or a toad toad...?" He began to question this now... Unsure what they were even looking for... <br>

Paru leaned against the shrine and watched while the others talked. She had never been good with these noble and scholarly types, preferring to spend her time with the rabble and soldiers. She didn't mind the holy dog, finding him one of the easier members of the group to converse with, but she was glad the scruffy mutt was back. Aside from a social discomfort, she had no clue what any one was talking about either. She had literally just been dumped into the middle of something that seemed so far beyond her. But it was an opportunity to progress her mission, so she would take it. She didn't mind swinging her sword, even better if she was told what to swing it at first.<br>
<br>
She stepped away from the wall and made her way back over to the group. <span style="color: rgb(250, 250, 51)">"I'll do what I can to help, though I don't know what exactly that is. I've got a sword and I can swing it, though not as well as this one."</span> She pointed with her thumb at Ko.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b>Leaving the Dream Realm</b><br>
<br>
Kai, standing tall beside Uriel, was engaged in a deep conversation with Zephyr and Kiki, the newly appointed leaders of the Flying Monkeys. The woods around them buzzed with activity, monkeys darting between branches, their playful hollers echoing throughout the trees. This cacophony of life was a welcome change from the eerie silence that had preceded their victory.<br>
<br>
Although he had played a pivotal role in the transformation of this realm, Kai was hesitant to assume the role of a leader. Kai himself denied this possibility. He had explained to the creatures, that he was thankful for assisting him; however, he would not rule over them. Besides he did not wish to spend his years in this plane and wanted to get back to reality as he new it. Kai did however, try his best to get the rest of it's denizens to accept the flying primates. <br>
<br>
Zephyr, a seasoned flyer with striking gold eyes, nodded, understanding the sincerity behind Kai's words. Next to him, Kiki, a younger and more impetuous monkey, twitched her tail in anticipation, eager to help lead their newfound freedom.<br>
<br>
"But we will need guidance," Zephyr asserted, his voice filled with the gravitas of his new role. "We are grateful for your help, but we are unfamiliar with the ways of the realm. Your wisdom would be invaluable to us."<br>
<br>
Kai gave what advice he had to offer. <i>He would not have them trade one master for another.</i> He was glad that the Monkeys seemed to be following their own direction, under the wisdom of Zephyr.<br>
<br>
The monkeys nodded, respecting Kai's wishes. However, Kai was not about to leave them high and dry. He turned to Uriel, whose celestial presence was comforting and reassuring. He talked to Uriel the guardian of this shrine to help smooth over the flying monkey's transition. Kai still held responsibility to their existence and their current state.<br>
<br>
Uriel, wise and patient, nodded in understanding. "I'll do what I can, Ser Kai," he promised. "The monkeys are a welcome addition to this realm, and I will assist them in finding their place here."<br>
<br>
With that, the conversation drew to a close, and they turned their attention to the portal. The departure was imminent, and while Kai was looking forward to returning to his own reality, he couldn't help but feel a twinge of sadness. He had become fond of the monkeys and the dream realm that had been their home for what felt like an eternity.<br>
<br>
But change was a part of life, a lesson they had all learned all too well in their time here.<br>
<br>
-------<br>
<i>Meanwhile...</i><br>
<br>
Before they had set out, in the dusky half-light before dawn, Ceylan had approached Yukan. <b>“Say, Yukan, would you allow me to question Gyoubu about her tasks as a healer during battle and her to freely answer my questions? I believe I still have a lot to learn from her in that regard.”</b> He'd mentioned it before, but he wasn't sure how freely people would be able and/or willing to talk about such topics, so he figured it best to check again. He'd rather not be considered an enemy spy or threat to their army's secrets on accident.<br>
<br>
Before Yukan could answer, a soft, melodic voice interjected. Gyoubu, who had been tending to the charms of her shrine, had risen gracefully to her feet, a slight smile on her lips. "It's not for Yukan to allow or disallow, Ceylan," she gently rebuked, her voice rich with amusement. "My knowledge and experiences are my own. If you wish to learn, I would be glad to share what I know." Her statement was not a challenge, but an assertion of her independence and a gracious offer of guidance. <br>
<br>
Just as the Tanuki Shrine Maiden was about to continue, Riku interjected, offering to have Shrine Maiden Yumeko join the conversation. Yumeko, with her vast knowledge and experience as a healer in battle, would no doubt provide invaluable insights. “A convention of holy healers, what say you, Yumeko?" Riku suggested, a glint of genuine respect in his eyes. His customary flippancy seemed muted, replaced with a clear appreciation of the healers' roles in the trials they were about to face.<br>
<br>
As the conversation flowed, they began their walk towards the portal. The air around them was alight with the energy of the impending ritual, the very essence of the dream realm pulsating in anticipation. <br>
<br>
------<br>
<br>
As the dawn painted the sky with soft hues of rose and gold, Uriel's commanding voice cut through the tranquil silence, setting the tempo for their march towards the portal. His eyes, as old as the stars themselves, swept across the assembled host. <br>
<br>
"Brothers and sisters, as we embark on this journey, it is only fitting that we do so with our mortal healers at the fore," Uriel began, his voice ringing out clear and resonant. The holy trinity of mortal healers - Ceylan the Wandering Saint, Gyoubu the Seasonal Shrine Maiden, and Yumeko the Battle Shrine Maiden - were called forth. The three stepped forward, their faces serene, their presence commanding a sense of awe and respect amongst the troops. "Ceylan, Gyoubu, Yumeko," Uriel intoned, "your wisdom and compassion will guide us. May your healing light illuminate our path."<br>
<br>
Then, Uriel's gaze fell on Yukan, the tanuki commander. A figure of authority, Yukan was respected amongst his kin not only for his cunning but also for his just leadership. "Yukan, the trials ahead require your deft command. Your secular troops and the celestial host will look to you for guidance." Uriel's voice filled the morning air, carrying a weight of respect and expectation. He knew Yukan was up to the task. He waited patiently for Yukan to assemble his host and give what speech a leader might want to. <br>
<br>
------<br>
<br>
With Yukan leading the secular forces and the healers leading the mortal component, the remainder of the celestial host fell in line. A celestial procession, it seemed, in stark contrast to their rustic surroundings, yet it felt right. As if the celestial and the terrestrial had found a beautiful harmony, creating an enchanting tapestry of nature and divinity.<br>
<br>
As they marched, the rustling column of tanuki blended seamlessly with the verdant woods. The chittering monkeys, like aerial jesters, darted about, their playfulness adding a touch of whimsy to the proceedings. The journey towards the portal had begun, and with Uriel's call to the mortal healers and Yukan, the march was already charged with a sense of purpose, hope, and determination.<br>
<br>
The woodland was nothing short of enchanting, a storybook fantasy come alive. Sunlight filtered through the leaves overhead, painting dappled shadows onto the forest floor. The celestial energy imbued into the land by Uriel and his celestial forces had encouraged an explosion of verdant growth. Flowers bloomed in profusion, their fragrance sweet in the air, and the trees themselves seemed healthier, their leaves a vibrant green, their trunks strong and straight.<br>
<br>
Standing tall and resplendent, Uriel guided the way through the undergrowth. His aura cast a protective glow around the group, a celestial barrier against any lingering dark magic. His eyes, the color of a clear sky, scanned their surroundings, alert to any potential threats. With Uriel at their lead, the group felt safe, confident that they could face any obstacle in their path.<br>
<br>
As they neared the portal, the forest transformed. The trees thinned, giving way to an open meadow. Here the land had truly been reborn, the wild growth of the Fair Folk's reign replaced with a celestial garden. Heavenly blooms glowed softly in the morning light, their petals opening to the sky. The ground, once rough and littered with debris, was now a carpet of moss, its vibrant green a stark contrast to the celestial white and gold that marked Uriel's reign.<br>
<br>
The portal itself stood at the center of this celestial sanctuary, a beacon of iridescent light. Gone was the chaotic energy that had once marked it as dangerous and unstable. Now it pulsed with a steady rhythm, the colors shifting in a calm, predictable pattern. Around it, Uriel's celestial forces stood guard, their radiant forms casting long shadows across the meadow. Their presence gave the area a sense of sacred peace, a stark contrast to the disordered energy that had reigned before.<br>
<br>
At the sight of the portal, the group fell silent, their conversations tapering off into whispers. The shimmering portal was their exit, their way back to reality. It was a symbol of hope, of the promise of a return to their own lives, their own world.<br>
<br>
Yet the thought of departure brought with it a sense of melancholy. This realm, this celestial sanctuary, had been their home for what felt like an eternity. They had faced trials and tribulations here, had fought and won against an overwhelming enemy. They had formed bonds of friendship and camaraderie, bonds that would not be easily broken.<br>
<br>
As they approached the portal, the flying monkeys flew ahead, their excited chitters filling the air. They swooped and dove around the portal, their aerial acrobatics a display of joy and relief. For them, the portal was not just an exit, but a beacon, a symbol of their newfound freedom.<br>
<br>
They had claimed the fairy tale forest as their new home, turning it into a vibrant, bustling area. Under the wise leadership of Zephyr and the spirited guidance of Kiki, the flying monkeys had flourished. They had built their nests high in the trees, their laughter and playful chattering a welcome addition to the forest's soundtrack.<br>
<br>
Their journey was not without its hardships, though. The Fair Folk's departure had left a power vacuum, one that threatened the stability of their newfound home. The monkeys were constantly on the lookout, their keen eyes scanning for any sign of danger. Yet they faced these challenges head-on,<br>
<br>
 their spirit and determination a testament to their resilience.<br>
<br>
As they gathered around the portal, a sense of anticipation filled the air. This was it, the moment they had been waiting for. With one last glance at the celestial garden, they stepped into the portal, their hearts filled with hope and uncertainty. The realm they left behind was forever changed, but they were ready for whatever lay ahead.<br>
<br>
---<br>
<br>
Uriel's rich voice rang out over the expanse, pulling their attention back to the matter at hand. The process of leaving the dream realm was intricate, steeped in ancient customs and rituals that couldn't be rushed. He looked towards Kai, Ko, and Indicus, explaining their integral roles in focusing the portal.<br>
<br>
"Kai," Uriel started, his gaze piercing, "Your affinity with the Dream has made you sensitive to its deep essence. We need you to concentrate, use that attunement to help us focus the portal."<br>
<br>
Turning his attention to Ko, Uriel's voice softened slightly. "Ko, you might not realize it, but you are the master of this portal, the creator who brought it into existence. You hold the key, the potential to wrestle the portal and force it to take you back home."<br>
<br>
Lastly, he addressed Indicus, his voice reverberating with the weight of his words. "Indicus, your lineage is sacred. The blood of lunar dragons runs in your veins, they who guard the night-time realms from afar. Your essence is intrinsically tied to the Dream, and we need you to ensure the passage reflects the reality you seek to return to."<br>
<br>
"These three amongst you, no-" At this point, Uriel paused, his gaze settling on a small, yet imposing figure among the crowd. "Ye four have crucial roles to play," Uriel corrected himself, his voice echoing through the hushed gathering.<br>
<br>
"I see you Paru," he called out. Paru stepped forward, her graceful strides radiating a sense of quiet power. "Her lineage is sacred. Born of the Kirin, protector of the deep woods and master of the celestial passages found therein, you carry the power to guide these mortals through the ley lines and fairy rings. A fairy ring would do well to encircle this interchange and ensure it serves the Shrine and not others."<br>
<br>
The beginning of the ritual was marked by a profound silence that seemed to permeate every corner of the celestial garden. The only sounds were the gentle hum of the portal and the soft rustling of the ethereal blooms. Uriel waited until the four cardinal points of the ritual stepped forward. Ko in the north and Kai in the south, Paru to the east and Indicus to the west.<br>
<br>
As the four cardinal points of the ritual stepped forward into their positions, Uriel allowed the pause to extend, his quiet composure radiating outward to settle the crowd.<br>
<br>
A wave of respect swept across the crowd as they beheld the four positioned in accordance with the cardinal points, the key figures whose efforts would navigate their passage through the portal. The tanuki forces, their bushy tails held high, chittered softly among themselves. Each one was a whirl of brown and gold fur, their wide, button-like eyes reflecting their anticipation and apprehension.<br>
<br>
Standing upright in a disciplined manner uncharacteristic of their playful nature, the tanuki murmured words of encouragement, their small hands clapping together in a rhythmic pattern. Their unified voice held a profound sense of awe and hope. These creatures, who had often seen the brunt of reality's harshness, were a picture of stoic optimism as they silently lent their support to their heroes.<br>
<br>
The assembled celestial host, their radiant forms flickering softly under the gleaming sunlight filtering through the canopy, stood in solemn silence. Dressed in shimmering armors that seemed to ripple with divine light, their faces mirrored the resolve and faith they had in the ritual. They emitted a palpable aura of tranquil anticipation that further accentuated the sacredness of the moment. Their gazes held a mix of reverence and anticipation, their silhouettes standing tall and firm in an unspoken promise of steadfast support.<br>
<br>
Overhead, the flying monkeys filled the sky, their forms darting about in an intricate aerial dance. Their chitters and calls echoed through the trees, adding a vibrant note to the atmosphere. They were a flurry of movement and sound, their energy a stark contrast to the solemnity below. However, beneath their playful exterior was an undeniable sense of tension and trepidation, reflecting their understanding of the monumental task that lay ahead.<br>
<br>
Their eyes, usually sparkling with mischief, were now focused on the four figures positioned around the portal. Their calls subsided into a low hum, their actions paused in mid-air as they awaited the commencement of the ritual. The monkeys shared quiet whispers, their voices carrying high into the branches, filling the air with a melody of hope and anticipation.<br>
<br>
As Uriel finally broke the silence, indicating the beginning of the ritual, the crowd held its collective breath. The tanuki forces, the celestial host, and the flying monkeys overhead - each participant, observer, and creature in the surrounding woods waited in a palpable, respectful silence. In their hearts, they held the hope for a successful passage, their faith entrusted to the four standing at the cardinal points of the ritual. The start of this crucial journey was met not with fanfare, but with the solemn quietude befitting such a momentous occasion.<br>

He had no idea what Kai was speaking off, nor what Ko was on about, when it came to some sort of baroness. Still, he felt an odd shiver run down his spine and into his tail. As if his sixth sense was warning him to never meet that woman. As for the hill toad, he shook his head. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Truthfully, I just imagined it to be a toad the size of a hill...”</b></span> He admitted. <br>
<br>
Ceylan was somewhat surprised to learn that Gyoubu didn't need Yukan's permission. The hierarchy and rules within these groups were still entirely lost on him. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“My apologies, I did not mean to offend. As you may have noticed, I am as unfamiliar with the rules, laws and hierarchy amongst armies such as these as I am with healing during a war.”</b></span> Still, he couldn't stop his tail from wagging a little when she agreed  to share her knowledge. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Thank you for your willingness to share your wisdom.”</b></span> He replied, already coming up with a fair few questions.<br>
<br>
His tail only started to wag faster when Yumeko joined in as well, feeling pretty confident he'd be able to learn a lot from the two of them. His calm and priestly demeanour was forming a fairly stark contrast with his happily wagging tail. He was both surprised and honoured when he was suddenly called forwards by Uriel. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I... am unworthy of such high praise, but will thank you regardless.”</b></span> He ended up replying with a bow.<br>
<br>
Well then, it seemed like he finally had a good chance to start asking some questions to the two other healers. There was one that had been at the tip of his tongue for a long while. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Say, out of all the questions I might have, this one has been on my mind for the longest. In the battle that occurred, many people were getting wounded. Some more severe than others, but wounded nevertheless. How do you decide whom to heal? I instinctively wish to fully heal whomever I see hurt, the very moment I see them get hurt. Being asked to hold back was a trial, especially with miss Sawazuki, but it did teach me one thing. In a larger battle, I would wear myself out early on if I don't limit myself. While my aid would be needed all the more later on, I'd just grow more tired and less capable. How do you find a balance in whom to aid and when to aid them? How do you know whom needs your healing the most? How can you chose between healing the most injured person or the person most critical for the fight to turn in your favour? How do you manage to keep a good enough eye on all that's occurring to spot where you might be needed? The battle was far more chaotic than I felt I could keep up with, yet it seemed like the both of you were having a decent grasp on almost everything? How is that possible? Also, I saw you knew more than just healing, what types of magic were those? I believe I might learn a lot from it and...”</b></span><br>
<br>
He fell silent, realising he intended to ask just a single question, yet had started a flow of questions instead. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“My apologies, I went overboard with my questions.”</b></span> He figured he'd remain silent for now, to see which of his barrage of question they would deem worth answering (first, possibly at all) rather than risk falling into another barrage of questions.</div>

Thankfully nothing Kai said to Yukan was particularly surprising there, he knew a many nobles who were upright so to speak, but so it came with the business of having to deal with important affairs. Yukan couldn't speak terribly from first hand experience however because his pure noble blood was about as far as his nobleness went. He hadn't exactly acquired a vast  fortune, nor was his clan ranking where he wanted to be, he was in the records of being part of the Koyake Clan but there were others much more prestigious than hm, he did hope to change that soon enough. <br>
<br>
<br>
Nevertheless he gave a small bow to Kai once more. "Of course not, I assume at the very least she sees [beast]s more favorably than the Empire does.." Not that, that wa setting the bar very high. "Thank you for your information."<br>
<br>
He also gave Ko a small bow of acknowledgement, "I suppose that's reassuring to hear, and yes, Hill Toads are simply large toads, but they aren't like you or me, They do not walk upright they  are probably the prevailing  ancient ancestors of the toads among us who do walk upright.." Yukan declared. "But that matters not for in nature, there is always the hunter and the hunted, their bodies provide a bounty of valuable resources, and they serve an importance in the up coming festival, so even without an image for reference you will quickly know based on their size and where we will go to find them."<br>
<br>
Before Yukan really addressed Ceylan he was already off talking, there wasn't really any need for him to give clearance for something like that people could speak to who they wished after all. But it still felt nice that Ceylan had felt inclined to ask. Ceylan's Empathy D likely revealed Yukan seemed a bit skeptical <br>
<br>
Yukan also took note of Paru. "Well you are certainly welcome to join us in this  noble quest to stop the witch..of course if you are so inclined you may also help with retrieving the toad, regardless your assistance is most appreciated."<br>
<br>
While all of this was transpiring Yukan went back to attention to Uriel. "Once again you humble me." He gave a lower bow, showing an increased sign of respect given Uriel's origin.<br>
<br>
It looked like it was time for a speech once again before the group  moved forward. Yukan would use <b> Republic of Kuridan Etiquette F +</b> <b>Leadership F<br>
<br>
<br>
"</b>We have all come a great way since the start of our initial journeys, whether that was through a quest, a summoning, being manifested, or appearing from elsewhere, I truly believe that all of you here today were. brought together by fate and the gods will. The shrine we have liberated together will be left in the most suitable hands. Those of you who found yourself just being created have found a home where you will be accepted and learn our ways." <br>
<br>
He'd refer specifically to the monkeys on that later part.<br>
<br>
"I want to again thank  those of you who risk your lives and continue to do so moving forward , It is an act of bravery and selflessness to  agree to partake in  a quest of this scale with no obligations. By helping defeat the great evil which has manifested itself in the form of this witch, you are doing the people of the  The Republic of Kuridan a great service. Never again will people have to watch their families and livelihood ravaged and destroyed by this nefarious magic I witnessed. For you helping me to resolve this great injustice I will be forever grateful. Moving united into this unknown <b>we will</b> succeed."<br>
<br>
Yukan said the last line as if it was a definitive, failure was not an option with so many great people there and their teamwork they could achieve anything. After his mini rallying speech of sorts. he went quiet with the rest of the group an got into proper formation. He too felt the anticipation of what was to come, what kind of land would they need to transverse? It was all so unknown, but deep down  he knew they had been brought together for a reason, and that reason was to work for the good of Kuridan. The guides had been set and everyone was in position, what was going to happen now?</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Kai looked on to the portal that was going to hopefully get them home. He looked down on his hand to see the moon tattoo on his palm, now decorated with shards which to him made it seem like cherry blossoms. Kai had already done it before so he was certainly confident in the fact that he could do his part.<br>
<br>
Kai looked over at Ko, who in contrast was uncertain compared to himself. He did hear that the cut was made by Ko, but since it did let him leave he wasn’t about to question it, instead gave him an answer based on his experiences here.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">“It depends, but the main thing is yer will and desires. This world responds to yer willpower and yer wants, as long as ya focus yer both into it, it should respond. If ya need to use a sword to focus it, then that should work fine.”</span> Kai stated as he had focused his will through the Moonblade to drive off the fae. <span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">“Though ya might shatter yer blade. Either way this shouldn’t be too difficult, only a two-bit swordsman would lack the mental discipline to fail at something like this. In fact, I can’t see any warrior worth their salt failing at something like this.”</span> Kai would say in a rather matter of fact way, framing it as a challenge towards Ko’s pride as a swordsman, as Ko seemed like the kind of person who would do better when challenged.<br>
<br>
Kai would focus on his part of the process. It was already familiar to him, as he had been in this realm for so long. Kai focused on the leaving the realm and focused his will and desire to reach the physical world. Kai raised his tattooed hand towards the tear in the dream world, as he also followed Uriel’s instructions.<br>

Thus far on her journey she had been wandering aimlessly, alone and lost in the wilds of Kuridan. This moment was the first real step of progress on her path of doing her duty. As Uriel addressed the others and Ko questioned his resolve, Paru smirked at Kai's challenge. She knew the mutt could hack it when it came down to it, but he did seem easy to fluster. Then she was called out by the celestial guardian that seemed to be tied to this place. <span style="color: rgb(250, 250, 51)">"Me?... But... I-I can try, though I'm not sure what I can do..."</span> Did she have the powers the celestial spoke of? It had been her sister who was chosen to lead her people, not her. Oparu had been trained in the way of ritual and spiritual guidance, not Paru... She was nothing but a sword swinger... constantly letting her sister down... but she wanted that to end. Maybe here and now it could. She stepped forth allowing herself to be positioned. She wasn't sure what to do, not really. But she had sometimes spied on her sisters training as a child. She remembered the meditating, the mantras, the words of the previous Kirin left for his predecessor. She calmed herself and focused her thoughts on the world they had left behind, the trees and animals of the forest, the farmers and crops of the field, the rain storms and rivers, the sun and earth. Existing in harmony between all things. She let out a sigh and begin to let the spirits of nature flow through her...</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">As Yukan concluded his speech, a hushed silence fell over the gathering, as though the very winds held their breath in reverence. His words hung in the air, their echoes resonating within the hearts of every listener. Yukan's address was not merely a rallying cry; it was a heartfelt acknowledgment of the trials they had all endured and the collective journey they were about to embark upon.<br>
<br>
As the last note of Yukan's voice faded, a ripple of response swept through the group. The tanuki forces, ever respectful of their commander, were the first to react. A swell of murmured agreement arose from their ranks, their usually mischievous eyes alight with determination. They fell into formation, their movements disciplined and precise, a testament to their trust in Yukan's leadership.<br>
<br>
The celestial host, initially silent observers to the mortal's speech, found their voices next. Their ethereal tones rose in harmony, a beautiful choir of celestial agreement that echoed through the trees. Their words were beyond mortal understanding, a language older than the earth.<br>
<br>
Then came the flying monkeys, their eyes bright with excitement and curiosity. They chattered animatedly amongst themselves, mirroring Yukan's positive energy. Even in the face of uncertainty, their spirits remained undaunted. They flitted around, their quicksilver movements creating a spectacle of vibrant colors in the early morning light.<br>
<br>
The three mortal healers - Ceylan, Gyoubu, and Yumeko - exchanged glances of understanding and unity. They moved to the forefront, their steps deliberate and purposeful, embodying the resolve and compassion that their roles demanded. Yumeko, ever the calm in the storm, gave a quiet nod of acknowledgement to Yukan, her green eyes reflecting hard earned equanimity.<br>
<br>
The silence that had fallen post Yukan's address was now replaced by a harmonious orchestra of murmurs, celestial choruses, and chittering excitement. It was the sound of unity, a testament to the camaraderie and bond they had fostered over their journey. It was a sound that carried within it the promise of success, of a group ready to face any challenge together.<br>
<br>
As the guides took their places, the air became thick with anticipation. A sense of impending adventure wafted through the breeze, whispering promises of trials, triumphs, and camaraderie. Yet, amidst the anxious excitement, there was a sense of confidence, a belief that stemmed from Yukan's affirmation. They were united in purpose, and they were ready. What would the journey ahead hold for them? Only time would reveal the answer.<br>
<br>
----<br>
<br>
The trio of healers, standing distinct amidst the gathering, seemed to have formed a world of their own, where the tumult of the outside chaos melted into a background hum. The conversation was an island of calm amidst the gathering storm, their voices maintaining a steady cadence that contrasted with the heightened energy of the others.<br>
<br>
Gyoubu, the seasoned Shrine Maiden, smiled kindly at Ceylan's flurry of inquiries. The earnest curiosity in his tone warmed her heart.<br>
<br>
"Please, Saint Ceylan, there's no need for apologies," she reassured, her voice as soothing as the rustling leaves. "Your humility speaks for your character. Your questions reflect your commitment to your role. It's heartening to see such a matched pair. I am certain Yumeko would agree." Her eyes drifted to Yumeko, a gentle invitation for her to share her thoughts.<br>
<br>
Yumeko nodded in agreement with Gyoubu, her eyes reflecting a similar warmth. "Indeed, Ceylan. It is only through questions that we learn and grow. The body is as much a mystery as the soul. As for the chaos of the battle..." Yumeko shivered looking away and reflecting upon her past.<br>
<br>
"You are right to wonder, Ceylan," she began, her gaze steady. "Warriors often think their job is hard, risking their lives and choosing which enemy to kill. However, ours is harder. We must not risk our lives and decide which friend shall live."<br>
<br>
Gyoubu's mood froze over, turning somber. "A battlefield is a maelstrom of chaos and violence, and yet in the midst of it, we are expected to bring healing and hope. Choosing whom to heal... it is a heavy burden." She took a deep breath and let it out.<br>
<br>
"Formal training is..." Yumeko looked away again, watching the four heros on the cardinal points around the portal.<br>
<br>
Gyoubu picked up the fraying thread of their conversation. "It's fine. We are asked to raise two wolf spiders. Actually if you catch them as they emerge from their brood, they often will imprint upon you. Anyway, we raise them and love them. When they are old enough, they are used as practice. Two warriors charge them, and we are only allowed to heal one." <br>
<br>
Yumeko nodded, still watching the ritual begin to unfold. "Prioritization is saying no, of not doing, as much as it is saying yes to something. We must assess the situation, deciding who we want to save, when we will use our scarce resources, and who...," she paused, a flicker of sorrow passing across her features, "...who we will not. It is about driving the most impact from our powers."<br>
<br>
Gyoubu, listening attentively, then chimed in, her voice reflecting the changes of her mood, now serious and calm. "Yumeko speaks true," she said, her hands idly playing with a charm. "There's a rhythm in every life, and when it stutters or falters, we must choose. Perhaps that is why Long Feather asked you to restrain your powers?"<br>
<br>
---<br>
As the ritual unfolded, first as the Sun rises in the East, so to did the ritual begin thus.<br>
<br>
As Paru stepped forward, she could feel a warmth spreading from her core, moving outwards through her limbs and resonating with the celestial garden around her. It was a familiar sensation, one she had felt in the past but never with such intensity. Her memories of her sister's training came flooding back, and she focused on the feelings of tranquility, harmony, and balance that her sister always embodied during the rituals. She breathed in the energy of the garden, allowing herself to become a conduit for the spirits of nature, channeling their power into the ritual.<br>
<br>
Slowly, a soft glow began to surround Paru, a testament to her affinity with the natural world. The light seemed to breathe with her, intensifying with each inhalation and dimming with each exhale, moving rhythmically like a gentle tide. The glow was soothing and warm, its soft radiance reflecting off her skin, making her eyes sparkle with an inner fire.<br>
<br>
The light drew the attention of the celestial beings around her, their eyes wide with a mixture of awe and respect. The crowd watched in silence as Paru's body swayed lightly, caught in the rhythm of her mantra, her breaths echoing the pulse of the natural world around her.<br>
<br>
As Paru continued her focus, she could feel the faint pull of the ley lines, sensing their delicate pathways stretching out from beneath her feet, crisscrossing the celestial garden and reaching out to the otherworldly realms. The sensation was like threads of silk sliding through her fingers, ethereal and elusive, yet full of potent energy. She took a deep breath, her heart resonating with the rhythm of the ley lines, and she began to guide them, her thoughts and energy shaping the lines, creating an intricate web of connections to the world they left behind.<br>
<br>
Then, in the heart of the celestial garden, under Uriel's watchful gaze and among the crowd of celestial and earthly beings, the first part of the fairy ring began to form. Glowing with a soft light, it appeared beneath Paru's feet, its luminous shape reflecting her inner peace and harmony, an echo of the natural world she held in her heart.<br>
<br>
The fairy ring spread, encircling the four and the portal at their center. The toadstools pulsed with the energy of the deep woods and celestial paths contained within. The toadstools were a wild chorus of color like a thousand different flower petals had tossed like confetti and landed as a magnificent ring of new mushroom caps. The sight of the ring confirmed Uriel's words, a testament to Paru's power and lineage. As the scintillating colored light danced around her, the crowd gasped. She was the Eastern Point, the beginning of the sun's rise, and the dawn of their journey home.<br>
<br>

<br>
Kai's confidence was apparent in the way he moved forward to take his place in the south. With a determined gaze fixed on the portal, he raised his tattooed hand, each line of ink glowing softly against his skin. The floral pattern etched in his skin seemed to come alive, each petal flickering as if caught in a soft breeze, and the delicate moon in the center shone with a silvery light.<br>
<br>
The moon, emblematic of his deep connection with the Dream realm, seemed to echo his sentiments - a desire for departure, a yearning to cross the boundary between this surreal, timeless world and the solid reality of his physical existence. Kai focused his mind on this desire, letting it flow through his veins and infuse every fiber of his being.<br>
<br>
His will resonated outwards, wrapping around the portal, imbuing it with his intense determination. A ripple of energy pulsed from his tattooed hand, creating visible waves in the space between him and the portal. The ambient energy in the air seemed to answer Kai's call, converging on the portal, swirling around it in a display of breathtaking luminescence.<br>
<br>
The pull of the portal started to resonate with Kai's intent, its pulsing frequency syncing with the rhythm of his heartbeat. He could feel it responding to his will, an echo of his desire for return rebounding from the portal and amplifying with each passing moment.<br>
<br>
As Kai continued to concentrate his will, the dream realm seemed to ripple around them, responding to his influence, expressing the collective desire of the group to return to the physical realm. In this surreal moment, under the watchful gaze of the celestial beings, Kai stood as the embodiment of autumn - the fall before the rise, a testament to their collective will not to descend into the chaos of the Dream but to rise into the tangible world they once knew.<br>
<br>
The crowd watched in awe as the portal began to pulsate with an enhanced energy, its luminescence intensifying, reflecting their shared longing for home. As they watched, it was clear that their journey was underway, guided by their combined determination and the innate power of those chosen by Uriel.<br>
<br>
---<br>
<br>
As Indicus took his position in the west, an immediate and profound change swept through him. He could feel the blood of lunar dragons coursing through his veins, their power a quiet hum beneath the surface of his awareness. His heart pounded in sync with an ancient rhythm, one that resonated with the power of the moon and the essence of the dream.<br>
<br>
He felt a natural pull, an inexplicable instinct that guided him. Standing tall, his eyes glowed with a blue hue, reflecting the soft luminescence of the moon. He reached out, feeling the ethereal energy of the dream realm circling around him. His mind, imbued with the wisdom of lunar dragons, seemed to be a conduit, an anchor that solidified their collective will and offered a clear path through the chaotic energies of the dream.<br>
<br>
As he focused on the memory of their world, a vision formed in his mind: of the tree at the center of the shrine, the constant thrum of life, the flutter of leaves in the wind, the rich earthy scent. This image became vivid, tangible, and he let it flow from him, outward into the swirling energy around the portal.<br>
<br>
A soft whirlwind of blue magic started to swirl around him, whispers of silver winding through the vortex, reflecting his determination. The energy responded to his will, aligning with the memory of their world, bending and shifting to mirror the reality they sought. The vortex of magic grew stronger, and the portal seemed to shudder and pulse in response.<br>
<br>
His essence, the heritage of the lunar dragons, became a guiding light, a beacon cutting through the nebulous energies of the dream. He was the sunset that gave way to the calm of night, the stabilizing force needed in the twilight hours of their journey.<br>
<br>
The crowd watched in quiet awe as the magic of the lunar dragons danced around Indicus, a tangible testament to their unyielding will. As they stood in the presence of this wondrous spectacle, they could feel a palpable shift in the energy of the portal, a sure sign that their journey back home was progressing under the guidance of the chosen four.<br>
<br>
---<br>
<br>
Uriel watched the exchanges between Kai, Ko, and Paru, a soft smile touching his lips. It was heartening to see how far they had come since their arrival in this realm, and now it was time for Ko, the one who had unwittingly initiated this journey, to bring it full circle.<br>
<br>
"Ko, the sword was but a tool," Uriel advised in a voice resonating with both patience and wisdom. "The true power that opened the portal came from you – your will, your intent. This realm reflects your deepest desires, and it responded to the energy you exuded when you struck the tree. This is what we call ones Sword Grace."<br>
<br>
His gaze drifted towards Ko's hand on his sword hilt. "The blade might have been the physical conduit, but the essence was all you. Now, it's about harnessing that same energy with a specific goal in mind. You have to focus on your desire to return home, to leave this realm, and channel it as you did before."<br>
<br>
Uriel's gaze flicked back to Kai, appreciating the cleverly veiled challenge he threw at Ko. He knew the swordsman's pride would not let him back down. "Kai is right. Your determination, your resolve as a warrior... these are what matter now. Visualize your destination. Concentrate on the world we left behind and use it as your beacon."<br>
<br>
Then, Uriel addressed the crowd, his voice echoing in the celestial garden. "As each one of them plays their part, so must we all. Let us unite our wills, focusing on our world. Allow your energy to augment theirs, and let's open the door to shores of Creation."<br>
<br>
With that, Uriel fell silent, letting his words resonate within each person present. As one, they all turned their attention to Ko, their collective anticipation and hope focused on the swordsman. For a brief moment, the garden seemed to hold its breath, waiting for Ko to wield his will and complete the ritual.</div>

"Tsk, are you-" his anger suddenly was boffetted by the words of more... What? Was... What were they...? Grrr... how dare they lecture HIM on the sword! He was the swordsman here! That impudent whelp couldn't even match his skill! There is no way he should be able to talk such drivel to him! but yet here he was! How annoying! He should cut him down for his impertinence... <br>
<br>
Though with his sword's hilt in hand... He noticed... <br>
<br>
He was being watched by everyone...<br>
<br>
First they barely recognize his great act but now they look to him to be some sort of deliverer? <br>
<br>
What was he? <br>
<br>
Some sort of multidimensional portal expert? <br>
<br>
Will he be asked by the nobility to bring them a roast from the kitchen of the palace next door? <br>
<br>
Because by the gods watching and those that hold distain! <br>
<br>
HE WOULD!<br>
<br>
Because there's no greater showing of his strength and mastery than doing such a thing. <br>
<br>
He remembered his master once challenging him and his fellow students to reach the kitchen whilst he protected it, that dinner was sweet when they finally decided to crash through the wall to get around him...  it only took two days!! <br>
<br>
Perhaps this is much like that day, knowing where to cut, how to cut... Ah, his master was wise indeed.. Old bastard did that the day they had meat buns to toy with them... Three day old meat buns were better than none though. <br>
<br>
...Right... <br>
<br>
The strike. <br>
<br>
"You want to go back to the hill? Fine then, follow after and don't make me wait... Don't know how long those portals stay open for really so don't blame me if your tail gets caught." his hands reached first for his mundane swords... then he decided to take out the mithril blade, holding a hand upon the hilt. His breath slowed as he focused... visualizing the field... Where it lay, the newly purified land... There... he felt the brisk breeze from the rolling hills on his face... <br>
<br>
With a final deep breath, he held it and struck. <br>

<br>
He'd noted Yukan's scepticism, but he wasn't sure why. Perhaps he'd have time to ask later. For now, his focus was elsewhere. After all, he felt like he was rapidly learning many things in short amounts of time. These two certainly had a practical wisdom to them; one he himself had always lacked. His calm voice was a stark contrast to his excitedly wagging tail as he engaged with them in conversation and debate. <br>
<br>
His tail died down when his fears were confirmed. The need to chose who to save. That was the hardest part about their role, wasn't it? He'd figured as much, but now it was confirmed. He wasn't sure what a wolf spider was, but he didn't need to know such a thing to get how brutal such a training must be. It reminded him of some of his own training. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I learned a lot of my healing through a Syncretist priest, whom always said that you needed to understand someone's suffering before taking it away. As a result, he'd often mutilated himself or purposefully allowed himself to get infected with diseases. For anything I wanted to learn, he'd first ask me to do the same. It was difficult, but at least I never had to make such choices.”</b></span> Honestly, he believed his own training might've been far more merciful than theirs.<br>
<br>
Driving the most impact from their powers. That part struck him the most. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“How do you decide such a thing in the heat of the moment? Do you have any knowledge on warfare or is it an instinct only trained through experience?”</b></span> He knew this was a heavy and difficult topic, but he felt like avoiding it would just be a sign of weakness. His own weakness. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“As a Syncretist, I've always been trained to cause the most good I can, but in a battle, the most good is winning the battle. Thus... that would mean that it wouldn't be a simple matter of healing the most harm, but of actually knowing which of the troops are most strategic to heal for the sake of winning the battle, would it not be?”</b></span><br>
<br>
He was surprised to hear them mention Long Feather. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Perhaps it is...”</b></span> He wasn't entirely sure, but it sounded plausible. He sighed. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Still, I wonder. The more our strength grows, the less often we'd have to chose, right? Yet... if our strength grows, so will our responsibilities and the challenges we face. The stakes would be higher and the risks more severe... Perhaps... perhaps I'm not suited to heal during battles.”</b></span> The latter, he feared, might be true. Could a Wandering Saint truly be expected to so easily choose who to save and who to let die? Was that a part of Sainthood? Wouldn't a true Saint be able to save everyone? He wasn't sure.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">As Ko worked through and prepared for his strike, the healers off the to side, watching the ritual unfold continued their own conversation. <br>
<br>
They spoke more about their upbringings, Ceylan's teacher's way of empathy and the two Shrine Maidens about battle drills and mock triage. It filled the time as they watched the ritual. <br>
<br>
At one point, Ceylan asked, <b>“How do you decide such a thing in the heat of the moment? Do you have any knowledge on warfare or is it an instinct only trained through experience?”</b> <br>
<br>
Gyoubu spoke first, "Long Feather believed that what we practice we do, what we think we practice, and each moment should embody a choice." Gyoubu scratched behind one of her ears, "But it isn't easy to follow all of his teachings." <br>
<br>
Yumeko nodded, "Such times rely upon the road paved not paving a new one." <br>
<br>
Ceylan knew this was a heavy and difficult topic, but he felt like avoiding it would just be a sign of weakness. His own weakness. <b>“As a Syncretist, I've always been trained to cause the most good I can, but in a battle, the most good is winning the battle. Thus... that would mean that it wouldn't be a simple matter of healing the most harm, but of actually knowing which of the troops are most strategic to heal for the sake of winning the battle, would it not be?”</b><br>
<br>
"Strategy is an overlooked virtue for a healer, more so during battle. We of the Republic often use <b>Igo, </b>the board game, to simulate warfare and the difficult choices it entails as much as life drills." <br>
<br>
Gyoubu smiled and nodded. Long Feather often would say things like, "Every time you place a stone on the board you are exposing something of yourself. It is not just a piece of slate or shell. You have entrusted to that stone your feelings, your individuality, your will power, and once it is played there is no going back. Each stone carries a great responsibility on your behalf.”<br>
<br>
He was surprised to hear them mention Long Feather. <b>“Perhaps it is...”</b> He wasn't entirely sure, but it sounded plausible. He sighed. <b>“Still, I wonder. The more our strength grows, the less often we'd have to chose, right?" </b><br>
Gyoubu spoke, "It is true, the rich do not worry about poverty so much as those who are without coin." She looked at the Masanori scions standing near the dire board calvary and spit. <br>
<br>
Yumeko chided Gyoubu. "The stone played by two masters is often impossible for a novice to grasp, yet each play by a novice is an obvious mistake to the master. The danger, Saint Ceylan, if you would permit, is your power allows for you not to train against such priorities, but should you meet another Saint who opposes you, then you may find it harder for never having played against an equal opponent." <br>
<br>
--------<br>
<br>
Ko was ready. <br>
<br>
In that moment, as Ko held his sword high, his eyes ablaze with the certainty of his resolve, a ripple of silent anticipation washed over the garden. Every eye was on him, every heartbeat tied to the rhythm of his breath, every spirit lending its energy to the collective will such was the way of dreams.<br>
<br>
Ko, the warrior, the swordsman, stood as the embodiment of their hopes, their will to return home. His eyes, though they held the flame of anger, also held a deep conviction that none could deny. And when he swung his sword, it wasn't the blade that moved but the force of their united will.<br>
<br>
The air around him shimmered, reality bending to his will as the portal swelled in response to his strike. Ko's attack was once more flawless. He struck in the same place as before. Again he grazed enlightenment, touching upon the illusion of creation itself not with a blade but with Nishkriya, The Sword and Glory. What he saw again was enlightenment itself, and his sword art had changed by such insight gone was [Inescapable Death] and in it's place blossomed a new way to wield the sword, [Cross Between Veil]. <br>
<br>
This wasn't an attack on a corporeal entity; it was a severance of their ties to this realm, an assertion of their desire to return to their rightful home. Ko's strike transcended the physical, reaching into the metaphysical and manifesting their collective will. The sword's edge became the bridged that spanned the gap between realms.<br>
<br>
With a loud, resounding echo, the rift widened, revealing a picturesque landscape that was an echo of the world they had left behind - the rolling hills, the vibrant greenery, and the azure sky. The portal shimmered with an ethereal glow, marking a clear path to their destination.<br>
<br>
The shock of the moment, the breath taking beauty of the portal and the familiar world beyond, silenced the celestial garden. But then, the silence was broken by a collective sigh of relief and the garden erupted into cheers and applause.<br>
<br>
As Ko lowered his sword, the edges of the tear he had created started to heal, but the path remained open, glowing invitingly. One by one, they started to move towards the portal, their faces shining with anticipation and joy.<br>
<br>
As the crowd gradually made their way through the portal, they found themselves back in their world, back on the hill under the vibrant sky. They could feel the breeze on their faces, smell the earth beneath their feet. They were home.<br>
<br>
<br>
Ko, with his sword still in hand, was the last to step through the portal.<br>
<br>
As the last of the group stepped through the portal, it was clear that the portal was not going to simply vanish like a fleeting moment. Unlike what they expected, the rift didn't close. It remained open, pulsating with an otherworldly glow. The scar, the tear between realms that Ko had made, had taken on an almost solid form, crystallizing around the edges of the portal and creating a solid boundary between their realm and the Dream. It was the infinite tunnel when two mirrors opposed each other, a passage at once infinite and short. <br>
<br>
The edges were not raw or ragged but were instead smooth and refined, as if they had been intentionally crafted. <br>
<br>
It looked as though the repeated opening of this wound had etched a permanent mark in the fabric of Creation and the Dream, forever linking these two places. The dreamlike Shrine of Cleansed Curses and the reality of Creation, forever tied through this gateway.<br>
<br>
The group looked back at the open portal, the silver glow illuminating their faces in the light of the day. The portal between Creation and the Shrine of Cleansed Curses was now a fixed point, a connection between realms that could not be easily severed. It stood on the hill under the open sky, a monument of their journey, a bridge between realities.<br>
<br>
Closing the portal, at this point, would be a monumental task, if not impossible, which also meant that this portal would shift the dynamics of present political situation. <br>

As the group embarked on their journey away from the town and towards the undulating hills that lead towards where the Hill Toads often made their winter homes they noticed different things. <br>

Despite the disquieting signs, the combined forces continued their journey. Several of the tanuki glanced towards Yukan from time to time, but they all wanted to prove themselves and the Hill Toad or the White Witch were their best bets. Their resolve was unbroken, ready to face whatever lay ahead, strengthened by their shared experiences and the bond that had grown between them. <br>

Rather than it not being 'easy' to follow Long Feather's teachings, Ceylan honestly thought they didn't hold any meaning other than what meaning someone might give to it. In other words, it wasn't self-evident and thus only useful to help someone structure their thoughts on a certain matter. In this case, it sounded like 'what we practice we do, what we think we practice' insinuated a self-reinforcing mechanism by which your past choices helped form your decision-making for present and future decisions. Or at least, that is what Ceylan made of such a message. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“To me, that sounds like a form of commitment to your actions, a pattern of being able to decide your actions better by how often you've made similar ones prior, be it in practice or reality.”</b></span> Yumeko's proverb suggested the exact same.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Igo... I believed I heard of it, though I never played it. I'd love to learn it one day, should a time and place for it arise.”</b></span> It felt a bit odd to compare a game to a good warfare simulation, but perhaps the strategic insight one might gain from it would indeed be useful. Still, there was a darker aspect to it. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Although I must admit, with a background such as mine, I believe it would be utmost difficult to start seeing people as pawns akin to how one would in Igo, regardless of whether it'd be for the greater good or not.”</b></span><br>
<br>
He fell silent upon the mention of mastery. Taking a fair while to think, before replying. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I would not claim mastery over much, especially not tactics and strategy, but you present a terrifying idea. Someone with equal powers, yet opposite ideology, would be an utmost terrifying enemy to face. I'd hope the gods would not fortune someone who's ideology is the polar opposite of mine, but I know demons that might. Still, I'd believe a true Saint would never become my opponent.”</b></span> Perhaps it was a bit naïve, but he couldn't come up with someone worthy of Sainthood that he wouldn't be able to talk things out with. Only those that might fake Sainthood or that had similar powers from other sources. Truthfully, he wondered if her words held premonition. What if this White Witch was such an opponent? A terrifying thought indeed, but one he'd want to account for. <br>
<br>
Thanks to Ko, they were able to leave the shrine without too much further trouble. Even here, on the other side of the portal, he could feel lingering senses of corruption, darkness and curses. The tree was doing its work, but the fact that darkness still lingered was evidence of how deeply rooted it'd been in the first place. <br>
<br>
With most of the gathering between healers (likely) having concluded, at least up until they'd have time for more thorough lessons and a game of Igo, he turned his attention elsewhere. Yukan was still of interest to him, but he didn't want to distract him from his duties. Kai and Indicus didn't seem to be all that talkative. Ko was the type of person he wasn't sure how to approach.

Indicus just shook his head and continued moving with the group the footfalls creating their own cadence along with the soft clinking of supplies, armor and weapons. Indicus decided to try and practice recalling the feeling he got when the portal was opened.

As they walked, Paru thought about the events of the ritual. How had she managed to do that? She was the wrong sister. 'Inert', as the head priest would call her. She had never shown any signs of being spiritually receptive. She was just muscle. And she had liked it that way. Muscle got to drink till the late hours of the morning, while her sister slept and meditated to keep up her chakra. Muscle got to cut boars in half and feast with the locals, while her sister studied the growth patterns of last years harvest. Muscle got to fool around, while her sister practiced moral sanctity. She clenched her fist and scowled to herself as she walked.<br>
<br>
As Ceylan approached she lightened up a bit. She didn't mind speaking with him, even if he was a holy man. He was different than the priests of her village, not talking down to her or treating her like a dissapointment. As he spoke, she contemplated his questions. Could she tell him about the village? It was supposed to stay hidden from outsiders, but that didn't mean she couldn't inform them that they had farms. How much talk was too much. This is why she didn't think she was the right person for this job, but she would do her best. <span style="color: rgb(250, 250, 51)">"I... I suppose I could tell you some things about it, hijiri. It's a small community, maybe a hundred people living there. Mostly farmers and hunters. We stay hidden to remain separate from the rest of the worlds corruptions. However, my sist- the current leader, isn't sure that's the proper course of action anymore, so she sent me to learn about the world and return to her with what I learn. If you have time at some point, I would like to hear about your beliefs. I think that sort of thing is exactly the information I was sent to obtain. As far as my tie to these events, I really don't know. I'm sorry. I was traveling through the woods on my journey, and the next thing I knew, I was in that other place with you all. I don't know how I got there. I am very grateful for your aid."</span> She gave a slight courteous bow to Ceylan.<br>
<br>
Suddenly a faint sound caused her ears to stir. She looked up in the direction of the sound, but it seemed to be moving quickly all around her, and it was very faint. Her eyes scanned the landscape and she suddenly begin to realize that something was abnormal. <span style="color: rgb(250, 250, 51)">"Pardon me, Hijiri."</span> She bowed to Ceylan again and approached Yukan, attempting to get his attention. <span style="color: rgb(250, 250, 51)">"Uh... S-sorry... I'm picking up a strange heat signature that seems to be coming from that watchtower. It's faint, or deep under the ground, I almost didn't detect it, but it runs through these hills. It may be an animal burrow or a hot spring source, there seems to be no discernable pattern to its layout."</span> She didn't know if any of that was helpful, but she was trying.</div>

...Humph... it was good to get some recognition from others. Though he still was tempted to make a formal demand for a duel against this brash upstart who cannot cut between one or two measly dimensions!  Though he had no clue earlier that he could as well... Far be it from him to let that brat upset HIM! HE was a master of his sword, and a master of himself! So, with a show up utmost maturity and calmness he... Turned his nose up and away from kai each second he would be near the man in the slightest. <br>
<br>
Yes how do you feel being ignored by your better!!<br>
<br>
Though, they were all now back in the real world... or was it still real...? Well, the portal was still there.. Err.. it was a portal now anyways... <br>
<br>
Looks like a holy site to him. <br>
<br>
So... no reason to think about it too much, this is the other canid's thing afterall. He was just a swordsmaster that could wield a sword of truth and apparrently cutting through dreams. No big deal really... As.. much as the others seem to think... Really he SHOULD be given MORE praise for his feat! How could they downplay and ignore his greatness! Surely it was largely an accident why it occurred and he sure as hell thought he could never do it again... <br>
<br>
But here he was... <br>

He listened to Paru attentively, although he'd not manage to learn a lot of new things from it. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“That is a most interesting quest you've been sent on.”</b></span> He replied, as he learned about Paru's quest and about her sister. He gave her a gentle smile. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I've travelled a lot, but normally, I travel to where the corruption runs deepest and where the troubles are at their worst, so I couldn't give you a good idea on whether it's worth to stay hidden or not. However, I can say there are many beautiful sights and amazing people out there, as I feel like many of the people I met manage to keep surprising me... If I had to say one thing, your sister would need to carefully debate if she wishes to risk the world finding her village instead. If she choses to stay isolated, the chances of being uncovered will increase, as more and more of the world is explored and mapped out.”</b></span> He realised he'd gone a bit off the chards. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“My apologies, I'm saying more than needed of me. Still, I would love to meet and share my knowledge with your sister, one day. Of course I'm also willing to teach you about the Syncretist Gospel, but it is more of a practice than a theology when it boils down to it.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Still, for her to be unaware of how she got caught up in this... it was still odd. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Perhaps we'll learn how you got involved later, or perhaps it was coincidence. Either way, before I forget, you may call me Ceylan, if you wish. I've still not gotten used to being referred to in such polite manners.”</b></span> He looked as she headed for Yukan and mentioned sensing some things. He decided to add his own two cents. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“All I can sense is that this area is dense with leylines and that traces of dark energy running through them are being purged by the Celestial Tree. Although, perhaps it is worth noting that the leylines go past the watchtower, further into the unknown.”</b></span><br>
<br>
He decided to ignore Ko's remarks. His fellow canine was clearly a lot different from him, that much was obvious.</div>

No doubt about it.” </span>Kai would say innocently to Ko cutting the portal open, quickly conceding the point, as he had no real doubt in Ko’s skill in the first place and just said that to <s>play him like a kazoo</s> motivate him.<br>
<br>
Kai would then instead react to Ko’s attempts at ignoring him, with not really acknowledging it at all. He didn’t really care to be honest, if he wanted to ignore Kai then that’s fine by the Yakuza Hobo, as long as they weren’t going to cause problems when in danger, that didn’t really matter if they weren’t on speaking terms. He definitely wasn’t amused by Ko’s reaction and it definitely didn’t remind him of a moody teenager or child who didn’t get the toy that they wanted. Definitely not.<br>
<br>
Kai’s danger sense would go off and he would shift his mood, before saying to the group. <span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">“I can’t say anything concrete, but this entire place, feels dangerous.” </span>Kai always had good intuition, but after he got to this world, it felt like he had an extra sense, like a cross between a radar and alarm that would go off when something dangerous was around him. It was one of the reasons why he was such an annoyance to the Fae when they played tag. <span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">“Can’t quite pinpoint where it’s coming from, but if I got to describe it, it’s like a predator stalking prey. It haven’t quite decided to pounce, but it haven’t decided to it’s not worth it. Everyone watch yer backs.” </span>Kai warned everyone to keep their guards up as this wasn’t a place for a picnic.<br>

Thankfully Yukan's speech had been well received once again which was reassuring. He knew that for the long term he would need to keep this streak of successful public addresses going if he wanted to actualize his goals. While he noticed people were having conversations and there was some interest in hm from the glances he was receiving for now he largely stayed in formation and moved forward looking fairly stoic as perusal when in situations like these. While he did listen to the conversations about the ritual as they were in range, he didn't feel a need to add much to this conversation as he wasn't directly involved, it was better that he focused on keeping everyone together, not being inclined to make the first verbal move. There a sense of accomplishment he couldn't help but feel regardless as the group made their way along.  He looked out to the changing landscape as in their moving formation of sorts the group went forward beyond the realm they had been in.  Hoping that all would go well enough on that front of things, it was really all you could do when magic like this was involved.<br>
Thankfully they successfully cleared the portal.<br>
<br>
Yukan listened to what Paru had to say to Ceylan's questions since he too was curious about who this person was and where they had come from.  Despite this he didn't appear to outwardly react much to what she had to say, it seemed something was bothering him.<br>
<br>
 He also looked to her and gave a slight nod to her as he was addressed  by her directly this time around, before he looked to the strange tower himself yet again, strange in that he could smell a most unusual scent as if it didn't belong among where they had come out. Yukan's nose twitched a bit before he replied, <br>
<br>
"Indeed this is an unusual tower from what I can gather, I can smell the scent of earth not long  after a heavy rain has struck it...in addition a metallic scent as I am sure many of the other Tanuki can sense."<br>
<br>
"Your  additional information and thoughts are helpful, thank you for sharing them with me." He said matter of fact to Paru. Then there was Ko who just indirectly revealed there was some strange sound coming the way of the structure too.<br>
<br>
He turned to Ceylan also when he spoke not really sure what he was expecting, but to hear the leylines were that strong wasn't terribly reassuring, giving him a nod too.<br>
<br>
With Kai throwing in his thoughts about sensing danger this was all adding up to something unsavory. <br>
<br>
Yukan acknowledged him too.<br>
<br>
<b>"With the information I have assessed, I believe that we are in the midst of a  potential hostile."</b> Yukan announced with a serious tone to the group raising his voice tapping into <b>Leadership E.<br>
<br>
"In order to ensure our security we should investigate the site, that tower and the hills, as they are the source  of this unusual activity, it could be related to the White Witch."</b> Yukan further asserted.<br>
<br>
<b>"We should take additional caution given there is a high possibility of danger, we know how to work to our strengths after our last endeavor,  We shall continue to use our unity to our  advantage here."</b><br>
<br>
<br>
It seemed Yukan was ready to move into formation in the area when the others were.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Before the group proceeded on their journey, Riku took a moment to consider the celestial portal they were leaving behind. It was a link to a realm of mysteries and spirits, a symbol of their victory, and an unusual tactical asset. However, it was also a potential liability, a breach in reality that could invite unintended threats if left unguarded. As much as it was a beacon of their success, it was also a tempting target.<br>
<br>
Calling upon a unit of archers and yari, Riku convened a brief council on the rolling hill before the Celestial Tree. His voice was a measured baritone, rumbling over the soft whistling of the wind.<br>
<br>
"I entrust you with the protection of this tree and the portal," he announced, his gaze stern yet proud. "You are not merely guards, but wardens of this new landmark. Let no unwelcome entity pass through its threshold, and let no foe come within a stone's throw of the tree."<br>
<br>
The soldiers stood in solemn attention, understanding the weight of their commander's words. The archers, with their sharp eyes and swift hands, were to serve as the first line of defense, their arrows ready to rain down upon any who dared approach. The yari, armed with long spears, would stand as the bulwark, the last defense between any enemy and the celestial portal.<br>
<br>
"As long as we stand vigilant, our victory will be preserved," Riku continued, looking at each of his soldiers in turn. "This celestial portal is now a part of our realm. Respect it, protect it, and remember the price we paid to cleanse it. Let that price not be in vain."<br>
<br>
<hr><br>
As the ensemble pressed onward towards the distant watchtower, the landscape looked lush and undistributed. The distant watcher looked aged but regal. A silhouette or two walked about it's ramparts, vague shapes of activity and life to keep any suspicion at bay. In fact the vague senses that each had felt, vague reasons to discount continuing forward intensified. If they weren't so eager to move forward, if their intent was not firm, it would be easy to justify ignoring the tower and just continuing along the road instead towards the swampy forestland where the wolf spiders and hill toads made their homes.<br>
<br>
Taking the low road instead towards the tower was different. The road itself followed a small leyline, an admixture of the departing corruption and the celestial energy now flowing from the Celestial Tree that the Corpse Tree had become. Still, out of the corner of their eyes one could see something that was once lush, green hills that looked bleak but only when half seen. The verdant grass was replaced with grey and lifeless shrubs. The trees were gnarled, their branches reaching out like skeletal hands. It was as though life had been sucked out of the landscape and replaced with an eerie stillness that seemed to hang heavy in the air.<br>
<br>
As the forces continued, they could see an unusual shimmering on the horizon, like a heat haze distorting the world beyond. As the mile march grew closer to a quarter of a mile from the watch tower upon the low, unused road, it became clear this was no natural phenomenon. It was as if reality itself was bending and twisting, an illusion that seemed to ripple and shift, hiding something beyond their sight.<br>
<br>
Something was wrong here. The corruption that Ceylan had sensed earlier was growing stronger, almost tangible in its potency. This was the touch of the White Witch, her powers of illusion and corruption warping the world around them. They were entering her hidden domain.<br>
<br>
Suddenly, as they pushed through the veil of illusion, a massive toad materialized in their path! It was grotesque, its bloated body covered in pulsating warts that oozed a foul-smelling mucus. Its eyes glowed with a sickly green light as it let out a guttural croak that echoed across the desolate landscape.<br>
<br>
This was one of the Hill Toads they had been hunting, but it was clear that it had been touched by the White Witch's corruption. Its presence served as a living barrier, a grotesque sentinel guarding the path to the watchtower. The army halted, unsure of how to proceed. The toad was enormous, easily the size of a small hill itself, and its aura radiated a powerful malicious energy.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1685900751510-png.1092022/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1029/1029152-20d1f7d2378bd75f08a6f08926e80371.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1685900751510.png" title="1685900751510.png" width="178" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Eyes focused on the monstrous creature blocking their path.  All knew they had to press onward, the watchtower was a pivotal point in their journey and they couldn't afford to backtrack.<br>
<br>
But as they readied for battle, the ground under their feet began to rumble ominously. The corruption had seeped into the very earth, warping the land itself. Sinkholes opened up around them, and the earth quaked beneath their feet. A foul odor of decomposing earth burped from each of the sink holes. They found themselves not only faced with the monstrous toad but also an unstable and treacherous terrain. The challenge they had to overcome had just doubled, and the path to the White Witch had grown even more perilous. The hunt for the Hill Toad and the White Witch had truly begun, the illusion and corruption standing as formidable obstacles in their path.<br>

<i>The sinkhole and the diseased Hill Toad pose significant challenges to the group as they traverse through the treacherous terrain in search of the White Witch. They act as substantial obstacles, not just physically but also symbolically, representing the pervading corruption and dangers in this wilderness.<br>
<br>
<b>The Sinkhole:</b> This is not an ordinary geographical feature. It's an insidious trap concealed by illusory magic and the deceptive serenity of the landscape. What appears to be solid ground can give away at any moment, swallowing those who tread upon it without caution. The peril of the sinkhole goes beyond the immediate threat of falling – the depth and the unknown nature of what might lie within it add layers of danger. Extracting anyone or anything that falls in could be a time-consuming and risky endeavor, potentially splitting the group and making them vulnerable to attacks. Furthermore, the sinkhole symbolizes the hidden pitfalls and unseen dangers that can appear in their journey, testing the group's vigilance, unity, and adaptability.<br>
<br>
<b>The Diseased Hill Toad:</b> This creature embodies the corruption that the group aims to combat. It's a gross distortion of natural life, tainted by disease and likely driven to aggression by its affliction. The toad poses a direct physical threat, especially if it's of considerable size and strength as Hill Toads often are. Its disease could be infectious, posing a risk of spreading to those who come into contact with it. Moreover, there's a certain moral dilemma associated with the creature. It's a victim of the same corruption that's blighting the land, and its aggression may be a result of suffering rather than innate malice. As such, dealing with the toad may require the group to make hard decisions about the balance between mercy and necessity, further highlighting the ethical complexities of their mission.<br>
<br>
Both these obstacles serve to remind the group of the corruption they're facing, challenging their resolve and their strategies. They are physical manifestations of the rot that has been spreading in the land, a tangible sign of the tasks that still lay ahead and the urgency of their mission.</i></div>

It was reassuring for Yukan to hear Riku give concise and reasonable orders, as questionable as his activity had been when they first met, he was being quite a bit better now as an ally, seemed like the sort you always wanted on your side rather than an enemy that much could be gathered.<br>
<br>
As the group approached the tower it wasn't long before Yukan was feeling similarly to how he did at that last shrine the main difference being the celestial and cursed energy competing  with one another, not that Yukan had the skills to make heads or tails out them one way or another just that one was good and one was bad.  Perhaps it had been this White Witch who had cursed the tree and shrine all those years ago as long as it had been that way, of course there was no way of knowing for sure but it certainly seemed that it was a likely case as these were all signature markers of her now that were much more recognizable. The dead landscape was a give away that the group was arriving in a problematic area combined with all the sensory details the group had revealed prior. Yukan looked around cautiously as they took the road presumably still in formation.  Then there was the strange shimmering and almost disorientating effects they were being subjected too.<br>

While Yukan couldn't sense or detect illusion magic for certain with any particular skillset, just the fact that it was distorting and there was a past experience involving the witch with illusion magic this wasn't an unreasonable consideration to have.<br>
<br>
Once they entered the domain, what Yukan wasn't expecting was a large Hill Toad right in front of them that he hadn't seen before, and he heard it now too it was a rather sudden intimidating sight to say the least as his eyes widened briefly before after taking in more details about the toad it shifted to a look of distain.<br>
<br>
"This is utterly despicable.." He'd say to no one in particular. <br>
<br>
"That this witch has no qualms defiling and corrupting what's natural..the ancestor of the toads like this, it's under her influence." He said.<br>
<br>
Worse yet Yukan took notice of the ground shifting and becoming more dangerous around them with the strange smells, indeed he was right his comment about her possibly  rigging things to her advantage in the environment  rung true.<br>
<br>
"It's going to be difficult to tell what's true and what isn't on this unstable ground.." Yukan proclaimed.<br>
<br>
Yukan turned to those who were near him. "Truthfully besides the danger  I'd rather not slay this Toad if it's possible for it's a victim of being in the wrong place at the wrong time." <br>
<br>
Yukan's mind did however wonder if they did have to kill it, could it's corpse be salvaged for the festival even when it had been corrupted like this? If it was purified could it be? That part of his thinking didn't last long as there was much more important things at hand right now.<br>
<br>
Naturally with all of this going on with the curse, Yukan turned to Ceylan.<br>
<br>
"Can you make sense of what's going on here, Any information about the White Witch's influence here that would be of use?  Can any of this be purified?" He asked figuring that he was the right one to ask, given he had purified the shrine.<br>
<br>
He then spoke out with the ability <b>Follow the Leader</b>.<br>
<br>
<b>"It'll be impractical for us to try to hold any large scale formal combat formations with the ground  unstable like this, I think in a situation like this we should move strategically in smaller groups. Those of you who are ranged and capable,  minimizing your contact with the ground where possible could be beneficial. Healers should spread out as to have the most of us in range for aid as possible." </b><br>
<br>
The later line more so referring to their winged friends many of whom used the bow.<br>
<br>
<b>" While we should be on the defensive and prepared, I believe that we should engage the corrupted Hill Toad in close combat only as a last resort, not only are they particularly dangerous at this size to battle under normal circumstances without such a dangerous ground it is difficult to say if this one's abilities have been  enhanced by the witch's corruption."</b><br>
<br>
At this point Yukan was giving elements of what he thought was wise to do moving forward, he thought it was likely that others would share their opinion on what to do, figuring Commander Riku would have some additional  insight as well as some of others who had come so far.<br>

Clad in a simple white sun dress and not even shoes on her feet. If anyone had been around to observe the strange sight of a child traveling in the wilderness alone they would no doubt notice the odd pathing of her journey. She would stop suddenly as if lost in thought, then continue. Other times she even turns around and doubles back seemingly abandoning her destination entirely only to turn right back around with renewed vigor. Tia had been in this state for over a week.<br>
<br>
Clutching the letter in her hand Tia once again familiarized herself with the scent lingering upon it. As time passed the scent itself grew weaker but she had followed it for quite a while now and now the trail was fresher and she no longer needed the letter to guide her. Instead, she kept it as a reminder of her goal. To keep the image of her only family firm in her mind. Just the thought of them stirred feelings within Tia that she still struggled to fully understand. Gripping the letter tightly threatening to tear it her emotions surged. With only the sound of nature to accompany her Tia smelled the scent growing even stronger, meaning she was close to her father. Her packmate; the only one left. Thinking of him aroused a feeling of longing within her, one of both affection and hunger. Her instincts were flaring up, the desire to be with her father and to eat were blending in a way that frightened her. Yet she couldn't abandon her path. She had to see her father, she had to see Ceylan.<br>
<br>
Finally breaking through the tree line Tia found herself in a field of rolling hills. Directly following Ceylans scent would lead her to a settlement in the distance, but going to a location where people gathered was off the table for Tia. Whether she could pass as a human or not, her sudden "urges" wasn't something she could likely control surrounded by what she would perceive as prey. Forgoing that option entirely she continued to follow a less direct path to Ceylan. It wasn't long before Tia came upon a foreign sight she couldn't make heads or tails of. There was an expansive circular shape in the distance like a hole in the air rather than on a solid surface. Curiously she stared at it but before she could get any closer the chatter of people alerted her. Ducking out of sight she peeked out from a bush seeing a group of guards holding the long shiny fangs of metal in their hands. Just looking at them once again aroused her hunger. Her natural inclination was to try and stalk them, but the promise of seeing Ceylan kept her animalistic tendencies at bay. With a sniff she could tell Ceylan had passed through the area earlier, and very recently at that. So fresh was it that she could now pick up the other scents layered with his. Meaning he wasn't alone. Pursing her lips Tia once again found herself conflicted; her father was close but he was likely with strangers. They were unknown and unknown meant danger, if they ended up being a threat to her or Ceylan... In response to this thought the tips of Tia's hair wriggled in agitation. Briefly revealing themselves as thin strands of biomass rather than actual hair. With a start, Tia realized her form breaking down even if in a small way. Taking deep breaths she repeated the mantra Ceylan had once told to her and which had centered her all this time.<br>
<br>
From then on Tia's pursuit turned into something more like a mad dash. She was ignorant of a lot of things but even she could tell how unstable she was getting ever since Haruki's death. In her heart, she held some hope that Ceylan would be the answer to all that. Her solitude especially. The trail brought her before a great tower in the distance. While from her vantage point, she could see the tower seemed to have some guards Ceylans's scent was leading her in that direction. As she approached a strange tenseness began to grow within her, not unlike the way animals sense incoming disaster. It was uncomfortable but it did not deter her. Running along the path Tia could feel just how close she was getting, she was sure any moment now she would see her father. Going around some foliage blocking her view her nose told her he was RIGHT there! But she could see nothing. There was no mistaking the strength of the scent but her eyes told a different story. Confused Tia looked around, then made some tentative steps forward. As she did she could see a shimmer on the horizon like a mirage or haze. The feeling of unease grew stronger and just as it did the landscape changed.<br>
<br>
The previously vibrant surroundings had turned black rotted and dead. The grass was dry and crunched beneath her feet while the trees were bereft of their leaves and gnarled. A revolting stench hung in the air and the ground shook, but it all barely registered to Tia. He was right there. His back was turned towards her but she finally caught up to him there was no mistaking it. The beings that stood by him were non-factors, Tia merely ran by them. A smile threatened to come upon her face for the first time in a long while.<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"> <span style="color: rgb(184, 49, 47)">"Cey-"</span></span> but she stopped. Finally noticing the large toad standing threateningly ahead of him. Tia's eyes widened at its size but rather than feel shock or fear all that came upon her was violent intent. Her thought process wasn't logical, nor was it reserved by common sense.<br>
<br>
While the group had yet to notice her arrival and were preparing to mount a plan against the toad, Tia ran forward. The sight would be ridiculous or perhaps horrifying to anyone else; a little girl running directly toward a large monster. Such an act even went against how Tia would normally act, usually keeping to her human disguise especially when near Ceylan. Meaning she never fought in the open often opting to take out threats discreetly. But her lonely wanderings had left her more than a little skewed. While she had enough sense to not reveal her biomass manipulation-related abilities she still had her raw strength and some cunning. Rearing her fist back she punched the toad and as soon as her fist connected she channeled a bone spike into her fist forcing it to stab into the toad as she punched it<b> [Punch Spike]</b>. Her eyes were filled with murderous intent and a growl threatened to escape her lips. Reason seemingly having left her entirely for the sole sake of ripping the enemy threatening Ceylan apart.<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul"><b>Punch Spike</b>- <b>Feature: Retractable Claws, Super strength F, Elasticity D</b>- Tia uses her unnatural strength and punches her enemy. As soon as she does she manipulates her biomass to form into a bone spike that shoots out from the front of her fist into what she punches. When her fist is pulled away the spike quickly retracts back into her discreetly. - Grade D - 2 post-Cooldown</li>

<br>
Ceylan felt uneasy as he could feel just how strong the corruption was in this place. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“The Celestial Tree isn't reaching well here. This is about as bad as the Shrine before we Cleansed it... so... we might be entering another such territory. Perhaps the original place.”</b></span> He doubted the others would need such a warning, but he gave one regardless. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“We're following a small leyline, a mixture of departing corruption and Celestial Energy.”</b></span><br>
<br>
The shifting landscape only increased his uneasy feeling more. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“The strength of it... I've no doubt about it. This could only be the work of this White Witch we've heard about. This is a domain of hers, of not her primary one. It has to be.”</b></span> He said, as a shiver went down his spine and through his tail. <br>
<br>
The sudden hill-toad gave him no clue what to do next, as he just stood still and stared at it in shock. A Hill Toad alone sounded like it could be trouble. This corrupted one? Far more trouble. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“The malicious energy from it has the sense of the White Witches' influence all over it.”</b></span> He wasn't sure if anyone needed such confirmation, but he gave it regardless. <br>
<br>
That's when he noticed the earth itself had turned against them. Unstable, treacherous, cursed. To make matters worse, it was likely the White Witch herself would know who'd enter her domain and that she'd keep tabs on them. He instinctively looked to Yukan for some guidance. Even after his talk with the other healers, he felt highly underprepared to take on this type of task without being given any directions. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“If her illusionary magic is malicious or cursed in nature, I might be able to sense some of it, but I can not give any guarantees, for it seems far stronger than I'm normally able to sense.”</b></span> Ceylan replied, upon Yukan's mention of it.<br>
<br>
He was surprised by Yukan's words about the toad. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Indeed it is, but were you not set out to kill a toad for your quest? Do not misunderstand, I am all for trying to cleanse this corruption, but if your goal is to hunt a Hill Toad, would it not fulfil your goal and put it out of its misery at once? It seems more wrong, to me, to spent our energy and effort cleansing this Hill Toad only to find and kill another that hadn't been corrupted.”</b></span> At the end of the day, as far as Ceylan was aware (perhaps he was wrong), Hill Toads were just animals, albeit a bit bigger and more noble. <br>
<br>
Ceylan had to think on Yukan's next words carefully. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I believe it might be possible, but as before, I think it might be best to go to the source of it. If the Celestial Tree's energy can't push up against the corruption that's spreading here, any purifying I might be capable off would only be temporary, unless we can get rid of the source.”</b></span> He wasn't fully sure, so he'd ponder about it a bit more (Magic B, Healing B, Focus F, Religion B) to see if he could come up with alternative solutions.<br>
<br>
When Ceylan heard Yukan's words to the troops, there was one worry on his mind. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“With all due respect, I believe the White Witch would not be as foolish to ignore flying threats to her domain. We've spotted the dangers on the ground, but those of the sky have yet to be revealed. It's not within my rights or knowledge to interfere too much with your commands, but if I may suggest one thing, I would at least not spread them too far or thin, as I have a foreboding feeling they might be hit by something sooner rather than later.”</b></span><br>
<br>
That's when all his thinking went out the window. He noticed Tia running at him. Surprise, shock, tail wags. That was the order of emotions he went through. That tail drooped when she ran at the Hill Toad. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“No, Tia, wait!”</b></span> He'd call after her. He'd finally met her again, he couldn't lose her almost instantly. His mind turned around quickly, he knew what to do. The same he'd done with Paru, just a lot more quickly. He used [Summon Targets (D)] to summon Tia to him as quickly as he could, hopefully before she'd agitate the Hill Toad.<br>
<br>
If he were to succeed, he'd immediately embrace her. One, because he wanted too. Two, to keep her from running off again. Three, to ensure nobody would consider attack her with the way she looked right now. Four, to calm her down. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Calm down, Tia, it's alright. You've done great. You've found me. It'll all be good. It's alright.”</b></span> He spoke, using [Soothing Aura] to help calm her down again. He'd need to explain this all later, he realised, but that could wait. Tia came first.<br>

"Alright, guess we found it, time to go slay it-" Oh, well, how would he get close...? Hrrmm... Hill toad... it... certainly looked like a toad. Big, toady looking, with the ground basically rumbling at it's feet... yep, just a normal toad... <br>
<br>
...<br>
<br>
"The information at our disposal in regards to our foes leaves much to be desired." he stated frankly, eyeing the thing from afar. "...If we approach, it entraps us. if we don't, it'll likely come towards us and entrap us. There is clearly one way to go about this... Ranged combat... or being atop of the creature. Can anybody reveal they have the ability to fly when it is most convenient?"  he tried joking, but.. Suddenly...<br>
<br>
A human girl had appeared. <br>
<br>
And tried to... Attack... the toad!?!?<br>
<br>
Well she certainly had more guts than alot of the soldier here! <br>
<br>
Though it was Ceydan who used that spell again to bring her back.. which was smart, though he halfway thought the toad would explode by the strange little girl's punch. So he hoped anyways, what else would happen? She gets eaten? likely, very likely. <br>
<br>
"...So... That yer kid or something? We babysitting now?" Ko asked with a shrug, looking at a loss for their plan to fight this thing...</div>

<br>
As Yukan acknowledged Paru's input, she felt a smile wave of pride wash over her. But it was short lived as Ko remarked on her long winded explanation. She glared at him, a pout on her face. <span style="color: rgb(250, 250, 51)">"I'm trying to offer my assistance, Mutt. Maybe once I can swing a sword as well as you I'll be able to get away with merely muttering and barking."</span> But Ko's words struck a chord as suddenly everyone began to converse again and she realized how out of place she was. She hung back as the group continued to make their way to the tower.<br>
<br>
Paru pulled her sword from her back as the toad appeared before them. She listened to the others talk trying to formulate a plan, when Ko's voice near by caught her attention. <span style="color: rgb(250, 250, 51)">"I... I can get on it's back. It shouldn't be too difficult, if you can keep it from trapping me before I reach it."</span> Before he could respond however, a small child ran past them, causing Paru to stare in surprise and confusion. The child surely had courage, but lacked self preservation. She watched Ceylan magicall yank the child back, as he had done her before, then embrace her. Obviously this child was someone important to the holyman and the sight made Paru slightly homesick, but now wasn't the time for that. She looked at Ko again. <span style="color: rgb(250, 250, 51)">"Can we work together?"</span></div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">When the toad appeared Indicus immediately went on guard, holding himself in check as the group planned. When he saw a young girl run up and attack the toad before the priest used his magic to pull her back. Indicus couldn't help but feel that a little girl literally beat him to the punch. Indicus was looking forward to this fight, the zombies were hardly satisfying they never felt pain, it was like fighting aggressive training dummies. <br>
<br>
Indicus heard Paru's question and thought about it before nodding, "I don't know about the others but I probably could keep it busy easily enough. What's the plan once you are on it's back?"</div>

The areas ya should avoid…” </span>Kai quickly pointed out where the highest risk areas of sinkholes would be, though he’s was not as detailed as he would have liked to be due to a lack of timing. <br>
<br>
Kai would then use his [ Future Sight ] F to see the next movements of Hill Toad. Kai was a lot of things, but he wasn’t recklessly stupid. Rather he prepared for the movements of the others willing to work with his teammates as he had no idea what to expect. Kai would quickly send out a short warning for Yukan and Riku about the next movements of the Toad which he gleamed with his future sight as he kept his own guard. <br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Yukan called out almost like a parent might warn a child away from touching a flame to the assembled host, "Everyone I will reiterate we should remain enhanced caution when navigating this environment. There is a high chance of foul play and that she has engineered much of our environment to her advantage. And after that ambush attack we know for certain that our foe can use illusion magic to some capacity," Referring to the events with Mitsunari and the Masanori clan. While Yukan couldn't sense or detect illusion magic for certain with any particular skillset, just the fact that it was distorting and there was a past experience involving the witch with illusion magic this wasn't an unreasonable consideration to have.<br>
<br>
The haunting moan of the wind sweeping across the fetid swamp announced the gruesome encounter between Tia and the gigantic, diseased Hill Toad. A beast of epic proportions, the toad stretched over 32 feet in diameter, its bloated body appearing as a grotesque hill amongst the marshland. It was infested with bulbous pustules, pulsating with every labored breath it took.<br>
<br>
Tia, summoning her primal fury, charged at the repugnant creature. The toad watched her approach, its beady eyes filled with contempt for the seemingly insignificant threat. But Tia didn't seem to notice. With her bone spurs glinting ominously under the wane afternoon light, she sprang forward, a hint of resolve burning fiercely in her eyes. She struck the Hill Toad, her spurs piercing its mottled skin with a nauseating splatter, puncturing one of the sickly pustules that plagued its body. The impact sent an arc of poisonous iridescent green sludge soaring through the air. The toad gave a low moan as its pustules was popped. One of its chromatic, scintillating eyes watched her for a moment. <br>
<br>
The second the infectious ooze met her skin, it began its corrosive assault. Her body became awash in agony, but she refused to falter. As Tia yanked her spurs from the creature's pustule it was like stabbing mud. She mad a wet sucking sound but it was impossible to say without supernatural senses if any damage had been done to it.<br>
<br>
She was bathed in poison and pus, the substance searing her skin. Worse, it seemed to worm its way into her wounds almost like small tadpoles swimming along her skin and into her pores. The pain was intense, an acute reminder of the toad's lethal affliction. Amidst the excruciating pain and against overwhelming odds, Tia would have continued her battle, but her father called her back. <br>
<br>
Once Tia initiated the confrontation with the colossal, diseased Hill Toad, Yukan rallied the troops. The commander who had started out unseasoned had gained respect from the troops he'd allowed to follow him. Yukan's command through his leadership skills and knowledge on warfare helped to make an informed dialogue. He projected a sense of competence and confidence that many of the "soldiers in training" dearly needed. Even though the warriors had drilled and fought zombies, they were still themselves new to life and death situations. <br>
<br>
Yukan's voice cut through the tension, echoing the wisdom of a veteran warrior [Follow the Leader]. "It'll be impractical for us to try to hold any large scale formal combat formations with the ground unstable like this, I think in a situation like this we should move strategically in smaller groups. Those of you who are ranged and capable, minimizing your contact with the ground where possible could be beneficial. Healers should spread out as to have the most of us in range for aid as possible."<br>
<br>
The later line more so referring to their winged friends many of whom used the bow. Whiteclaw and the other birdkin scouts spread out, leaping and dashing, bows out and arrows nocked. <br>
<br>
"While we should be on the defensive and prepared, I believe that we should engage the corrupted Hill Toad in close combat only as a last resort, not only are they particularly dangerous at this size to battle under normal circumstances without such a dangerous ground it is difficult to say if this one's abilities have been enhanced by the witch's corruption."<br>
<br>
At this point Yukan was giving elements of what he thought was wise to do moving forward, he thought it was likely that others would share their opinion on what to do, figuring Commander Riku would have some additional insight as well as some of others who had come so far.<br>
<br>
Riku, once more known for his smooth words and self-preservation than his prowess in battle, rose to the occasion. He had seen the potential benefits of alliance with Yukan and had, begrudgingly, allowed some of that commander's honor to seep into his own tactics. His eyes, once merely keen on potential profit, were now focused on the monstrosity before them.<br>
<br>
He addressed his troops, his voice projecting confidence and a touch of his usual cunning. "Spread out, boar riders," he commanded, "Engage the beast, but remember, we're not here to win a contest of strength. We're here to win the war. Keep it distracted, keep it moving. The less it can focus, the better." His orders bore an element of caution, revealing his intent to minimize his casualties.<br>
<br>
Behind him, his yari unit stood ready, their eyes trained on the healers, ready to spring into action at any sign of threat. Their formation was defensive, creating a secure perimeter around the most vulnerable among them.<br>
<br>
Among Riku's ranks, Yumeko stood out. The elderly Shrine Maiden, dressed in her faded indigo robes, emanated a serene calm in the face of impending chaos. Her experience was vast, having encountered Hill Toads in her time, but the monstrosity that loomed before them was unlike anything she had seen before. Even so, she did not falter. <br>
<br>
With her hands held together in prayer, Yumeko relayed her knowledge to the assembled forces. "Be mindful of its tongue," she warned, her voice steady as she looked upon the beast. "It can strike with the force of a cannon. And watch for when it leaps. The ground will tremble, and it may use the opportunity to burrow or hide within the marsh."<br>
<br>
Her words held the attention of everyone, the soldiers nodding their understanding. Her mention of the toad's ability to manipulate the elements of water and earth struck a chord of concern among the ranks, but it also steeled their resolve. They were facing a formidable foe, but under the leadership of Yukan and Riku, and with the guidance of Yumeko, they stood ready to face the challenge.<br>
<br>
Yukan's words, though a stark reminder of the peril they faced, had instilled a sense of strategic preparedness in the troops. His warnings of the potential dangers ahead did not dampen their spirits but made them more resolute. And so, under the leadership of Yukan and Riku, they readied themselves for the imminent combat against the massive Hill Toad.<br>
<br>
The archers and scouts unleashed three volleys of arrows. <br>
<br>
As the archers loosed their arrows, the tension amongst the soldiers was palpable. The whistling sounds of arrows flying through the air in rapid succession echoed in the battlefield. Their precision and speed, a testament to their intense training and the trials they had faced. Each volley was a precise choreography of power and finesse, displaying the remarkable growth of the archer units.<br>
<br>
As the battlefield continued to churn and shift under the influence of the enormous Hill Toad, Kai's unique abilities came to the forefront, proving instrumental in helping the troops navigate the increasingly perilous terrain.<br>
With the intensity and swiftness, Kai activated his [Sense F] ability. His eyes, imbued with an otherworldly glow, and darted across the landscape, locking onto the subtle changes in the soil. He identified the areas most likely to collapse into sinkholes, the loose mud and the shifting terrain signaling the earth's hidden threats.<br>
Clearing his throat, Kai quickly gestured to the areas of concern, his urgent voice cutting through the din of battle. "Everyone, avoid those areas..." He pointed out the zones of potential danger, his instructions concise due to the time constraint. Still, the advice was valuable, providing a map of safety amongst the treacherous earth, allowing his comrades to sidestep potential pitfalls.<br>
The Dire Boar Calvary used Kai’s advice to navigate the maze of sink holes, gaining enough speed to charge along the toad’s flank and soft belly. Their long Yari blades sinking deep into the toad’s skin. Instead of retracting the Yari, each rider released as soon as the spear jabbed home.<br>
Kai activated his [Future Sight] ability. His eyes turned a vibrant hue as the immediate future unfolded before him, the movements of the gigantic Toad playing out in his mind. His vision revealed the beast's imminent actions, a useful advantage in the unpredictable chaos of battle. Kai was not one to keep this critical information to himself. He promptly conveyed his predictions to Yukan and Riku, alerting them to the Hill Toad's impending movements. He gave a warning. Kai's prescience, combined with his willingness to collaborate, elevated the group's tactics and bolstered their chances of survival against the gargantuan adversary. Riku’s eyes widened Anna he called for the boat riders to retreat.<br>
The arrows, however, met with unexpected resistance. The Toad's back skin seemed to absorb the arrows like a sponge, the shafts disappearing almost instantly into the muck-like flesh. Each successful hit against the disease-ridden pustules on its body sent showers of a sickening green ooze in all directions. The acrid smell filled the air as the ooze splattered onto the ground, sizzling ominously on contact. Yukan's foresight in keeping the troops at a safe distance spared them from being coated in the hazardous substance.<br>
The reaction of the Toad to the onslaught was strange. Instead of lashing out, it groaned in a low, guttural tone, a sound that resonated deeply, vibrating through the ground beneath them. Rather than counterattacking, the beast began to roll around in the mud. Its gargantuan body, crushing and shifting the landscape, resulted in an expanding network of sinkholes that quickly transformed into a sizable pit.<br>
The sight was bewildering. The Toad's actions were not of a typical beast enraged by attack, but rather of an entity luxuriating in a bath. Its formation of a muddy pit further emphasized this notion, prompting speculation amongst the troops about the creature's true nature and the extent of its corruption by the witch. As they watched the mud pit grow around the beast, their strategic plans would have to adapt to this unforeseen change in terrain.<br>
Meanwhile the rest of Yukan’s irregular logistics unit discussed tactics and bantered amongst themselves. Paru, Ko, Indicus and a few others chatted and planned while Ceylan saw to Tia. Gyoubu looked over from further away but she remained supporting the right flank of the army, her nature energy reaching out to help them resist the miasma like haze filling the air from the combination of the arrow barrages and the toad squirming in its new mud pit. A few small mushrooms pushed up from the ground as the trio chatted. They were bone white in appearance with a faint silvery sheen like they’d been dusted in silver. <br>
As Ceylan extended a desperate hand towards the charging Tia, the air seemed to thicken, a distortion of reality forming around the wolf Beastkin. The magic of the [Summon Targets (D)] spell was powerful, palpable in the charged atmosphere, pulling Tia out of the toad's dangerous proximity. Within moments, the distorted space collapsed back into normalcy, depositing Tia safely in Ceylan's arms.<br>
The immediate danger averted, Ceylan pulled her closer into a comforting embrace, his grip firm yet gentle. An ethereal glow began to radiate from him, encapsulating the pair in a warm, serene light. His [Soothing Aura] ability washed over Tia, its soft tendrils of light tracing her form, seeping into her injuries. The area around them fell into a momentary tranquility, the comforting aura affecting not just Tia, but everyone in its range, muting the immediate tension of the battlefield.<br>
Though the Soothing Aura brought momentary peace and even eased some of Tia's visible discomfort, it did little to reverse the severe damage inflicted by the corrupted Toad's pustule. The strange disease had already begun to metastasize hands warping the grotesque bone spurs and forming a river of raised bumps tracing her lymphatic system in her arms, a disturbing sight contrasting the normalcy of the rest of her wolfkin girl’s body. <br>
<br>
The aura flickered around these protrusions, sizzling as the two energies competed against a barrier that the disease seemed to have formed. The potency of the corruption was beyond the healing magic. Nonetheless, his embrace remained steady, the comforting light of his aura persisting, an unwavering beacon of hope amidst the looming shadow of their formidable foe.</div>

He was too late to summon Tia back before she'd get harmed. Seriously so. He was in shock as he saw her covered in poison and whatever gross corruption came out of that toad. He knew they'd discussed proper battle healing prior, but... this was his <i>daughter</i> how could he not focus on her? He'd trust Yukan would command the others well enough to give him some chance at helping Tia, as he used [Curse Cleanse B] to heal her and get rid of the poison/curse that she'd been infected with. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“There, there, all good.”</b></span> He'd say, not minding how monstrous she looked right now, as he knew he true nature wasn't as her looks suggested her to be. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Please, don't do such things again. It's dangerous.”</b></span> He'd state next, gently yet firmly. <br>
<br>
As he noticed how corruptive and dangerous this was, he'd extend his [Curse Cleanse B (Targets C up to 49 more)] to some of  Yukan's and Riko's warriors in melee range, who'd risk being exposed to it, however many he could reach with it. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I'll try to ward off the poison, but I might not be able to heal you all at the same time. Please, be careful!”</b></span> He called out, not just for the troops to hear, but also for the other two healers to know what he'd decided to focus upon so that they could hopefully fill in for what he'd be unable to do right now.<br>

Pure violent instinct and rampant emotions had been what spurned her on, and there were consequences to such action. Tia's attack had done some damage but the Hill Toad was simply too large for an attack lacking surface area and destructive power to do much more than lightly mar it. In fact, Tia's very attack worked against her. The corrosive discharge that spurted out as a result of her attack spilled over her. Tia was no stranger to injury as any predator lived steeped in conflict. Tia's biology was naturally robust. There were few things that could truly harm her and fewer still she could not recover from with her body's regeneration. She did not possess vital organs or even a brain, so fatal injuries were all but impossible to inflict on her through conventional means. So long as she had a supply of biomass she could even be considered immortal though such an assessment would be hyperbolic. As far as organisms went Tia was uniquely suited to her role. This only sheds light on how effective the poison and curses layered within the Hill toad were.<br>
<br>
No sooner than the poison began eating away her was she teleported back into Ceylans arms. Normally this would have likely calmed her down, instead, Tia let out a high-pitched scream of utter pain. Tia had been injured before, from stabs, bludgeoning, and bites. But she hadn't actually felt pain before. Her species was amorphous and formed their bodies into what they needed based on the situation, such as Tia shaping herself into a human. This meant she lacked pain receptors as it was not seen as necessary for the damage she had sustained. Pain was meant as a warning to ward off future contact with what hurt you. And for the first time in Tia's life the feeling of "pain" was conveyed to her. In a way, her body was trying to help her by instilling aversion to the Hill Toads' poisons. But it was agony to her.<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"> "AAAAAAAAAAAGH!"</span></span> She continued to scream, it was the only response she could make as overwhelmed as she was. <br>
<br>
Ironically if she had continued to fight her adrenaline and instincts taking over may have staved off the worst of it, but now she was feeling the full brunt as her body continued to fabricate pain receptors. All the while her body also tried to resist the poison and recover, unfortunately, it couldn't do this without giving away Tia's true nature. Her flesh bubbled and where once was pale soft skin now crimson tendrils wriggled and slithered trying to repair the damage. Wherever the poison touched "Tia" dissolved leaving only churning nebulous meat. All the while Tia could do little more than shake and let out hoarse breaths as her vocal cords had dissolved into the rest of her to save biomass for regeneration. Now she couldn't even scream. <br>
<br>
Fortunately, she was still with Ceylan and he was the best Healer anyone could ask for. As his healing magic worked its way through her body the pain receded enough for Tia to become cognizant enough to understand what was happening. As she lay in his arms Tia opened her eyes looking up at him, still trembling.<span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)"> "Ceylan?"</span></span> For a moment Tia seemed unsure of what was going on, the shock to her system had put her thoughts in disarray but understanding came quickly. His potent healing ability had healed her wiping away the poison utterly in the face of his holy power. Now her body was in full view as it patched up her wounds. The flesh knits itself together before once again taking on the form of pale skin or hair. Even her "dress" regenerated with the aid of Ceylans healing. Revealing that it too was just an extension of Tia herself. Realizing the state she was in Tia's eyes widened, she tried to cover herself as if she was feeling the shame of nakedness. <span style="font-family: 'trebuchet ms'"><span style="color: rgb(226, 80, 65)">"Don't look at Tia! Please, Tia is...Tia is!"</span></span> She wanted to say "Human" but even she knew how blatant a lie it was, her deception was useless now. Tia had almost forgotten how inhuman she truly was only the last week reminding her as she had fallen to her lowest point. Now the person she cared about the most knew. In Tia's mind, there was no doubt Ceylan would hate or fear her, perhaps even try to kill her. She was a foreign entity, not even the same species, and she naturally predates intelligent life as a source of food. Tears welled in her eyes, and she refused to look at Ceylans face afraid of what she would see. The people around her, the Hill Toad, the decayed land, none of it mattered to Tia it was all background information her goal and focus had always been Ceylan and now even that pillar was shaking at its foundation due to her uncertainty. The girl wondered if she would be discarded, would she be truly alone now?</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Indicus saw what happened to the girl and quickly realized said girl was not exactly human when she started dissolving and reforming as whatever the toad was covered with touched her the inhuman scream helped reaffirm that fact in case Indicus thought he was crazy.<br>
<br>
 Indicus really did not have time to ponder the 'girl' any longer as he ran towards the toad using his agility and speed to dodge holes as they were pointed out and keep the mud from bogging him down all to  get close enough to use his [Fire breath F] deciding that touching the toad would be quite unwise seeing as the inhuman girl with excellent regeneration had trouble fighting it off he knew his own was not anywhere close he would take a minute to fully recover from his injuries and that was too long in a fight. <br>
<br>
The attack streaked across the body of the toad for a second as Indicus moved. Indicus then retreated to the back of the group readying for another pass with his dragon fire, his eyes watching the toad and the surroundings for retaliation as his heart excitedly pumped blood and adrenaline throughout his body. <br>
<br>
1. rushed the toad avoiding holes and overcoming mud(Fast F, Jumping F, Perception F)<br>
2.Used [Fire breath F] {F cooldown 0/0}<br>
3. Retreated avoiding holes and overcoming  mud (Fast F, Jumping F, Perception F)</div>

He would discuss this with paru first...  though with these motes of healing energy around him.. he.. kinda felt like he could take on the world at this moment...</div>

He noted Kai's warning which was incredibly helpful, glad that he had come along since he could see what many of them could not it looked like. He also decided to clarify based on what Ceylan said, <b>"Ceylan is right, there is a risk of threat above in this witch's domain, exercise caution whether in the sky or the ground."</b><br>
<br>
There were a lot of shifting elements going on before Yukan from what appeared to be a girl, a beast? No what was she? Running out and trying to attack the large toad, just what Yukan had been trying to avoid, and then suddenly Ceylan embraced this obviously not pure beast or human thing as she was writheing around from whatever the toad had expelled onto her, but then Ceylan went into doing a lot of healing. He wanted to question Ceylan badly exactly what that <i>thing</i> was considering Tia practically gave off monstrous vibes at that point, but the way that he appeared to hold her like she was something he cared for, that was the only conclusion he could come too. Perhaps she wasn't another threat, Yukan doubted that Ceylan would react this way if she was a genuine threat to them. Even so now they absolutely had to engage the toad in response in order to stop it from doing further harm.<br>
<br>
Yukan looked at those around him, and he heard Riku's words it sounded like a solid strategy to say the least for those units to keep moving. Unfortunately the barrage of arrows was not having the intended effect. He had taken note of Ceylan's words with a thoughtful nod prior as well about needing the body of a toad. If they played their cards right since it looked like they'd have to kill the beast, maybe they'd be able to liberate it from it's affliction and bring it's body back after slaying the witch, killing two birds with one stone so to speak. That of course was presuming that the body was actually salvageable from the corruption after the fact. Even if the arrows hadn't been working well at least the yari were able to penetrate at it's weaker spots.<br>
<br>
While the Terrain was rapidly shifting thanks to whatever the toad was doing, Yukan did take notice of one vulnerability that the Toad had put itself into should the group be able to get over the pit and sink holes surrounding it. Yukan himself was not close enough to strike it nor did he actually have the combat skills to carry something grand out with an F grade strike what he could do was speak up on what he thought a good course of action was upon seeing that others were already discussing amongst themselves about what to do next.<br>
<br>
Yukan appealed with <b>To Arms! <br>
"With our new objective being defeating this toad and salvaging it's body if possible, it has put itself into a semi vulnerable position, We need to focus our attacks on it's more vulnerable stomach if we want any hopes of defeating this beast Striking it's back results in it's spewing it's corrupted toxins and it's far too thick, we should try to be spread out around it on all sides if possible and keep movement so that it can't take out large groups of us in one swoop. Those of you using ranged weapons, target it's stomach when possible, those of you with extrasensory skills if there's a way for our closer ranged units to get in range with this trecherous terrain now is the time to reveal that information before it rights itself again."</b><br>
<br>
Yukan spoke with on his feet thinking, giving a nod to Kai once again after the fact with his support. He wanted to end this conflict as quickly if possible and that would result in them needing to work together as a group to strike fatal blows at their target's weakest spots on it's body.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">&lt;Ceylan Response&gt;<br>
<br>
Ceylan's magic was a sight to behold, his aura bathing the area in an ethereal glow. The magic spread outward, divine energy washing over every soldier within its reach. This celestial light suffused each individual, a warm cascade that flowed through them, purging any trace of disease, poison, or curse that might have lingered on their bodies. The aura didn't discriminate, extending to both the humans and beastkin alike. With every passing moment, the soldiers' strength and resolve seemed to visibly renew, bolstered by the magic that filled them. <br>
<br>
&lt;Yukan Response&gt;<br>
<br>
Following Yukan's command, the soldiers quickly sprang into action, shifting their formation and spreading out. The Yari soldiers valiantly waded through the knee-high mud, determination etched onto their faces. The archers, now better positioned, let loose their arrows, each one targeted towards the Toad's exposed belly. The Boar Riders, driven by their leader's command, expertly maneuvered their mounts through the difficult terrain, closing the distance between them and their target. The battlefield buzzed with newfound intensity as every soldier, regardless of their previous roles, adapted and moved according to the new strategy.<br>
<br>
&lt;Ko Response&gt;<br>
<br>
The banter between Paru and Ko flowed naturally, the two friends bouncing ideas off one another. With Yukan's advice in mind, and Kai's helpful foresight, they navigated their way around the sinkholes that marred the battlefield. Despite the mud and muck staining their clothes, the pair managed to remain relatively unscathed, their shared focus and teamwork paying off.<br>
<br>
&lt;Paru Response&gt;<br>
<br>
Paru and Ko remained at the edge of the battlefield, not venturing into the mud-filled terrain just yet. Instead, they used this time to plot their strategy. Paru surveyed the scene before them, her eyes trained on the monstrous toad, taking in every detail that might aid their impending confrontation.<br>
<br>
&lt;Indicus Response&gt;<br>
<br>
Indicus demonstrated his agility and speed as he darted towards the toad, expertly sidestepping the holes and leaping over the mud pits. With a fierce roar, he released his [Fire Breath F], the flames streaking across the toad's body, causing it to shriek in pain. However, the creature lashed out in its agony, swinging its forearm at Indicus. Indicus managed to evade the attack, but not all were so lucky. Several Yari soldiers were swept up by the massive limb, tossed into the beast's gaping mouth. After his assault, Indicus retreated, leaving the area thick with the stench of charred flesh.<br>
<br>
&lt;Tia Response&gt;<br>
<br>
As Ceylan's healing magic began to take effect, Tia's inhuman form was laid bare for all to see. The dramatic change didn't go unnoticed by the soldiers, a few visibly recoiling at the sight. Their disgust was palpable, their fear evident. Yet, most of the soldiers had little time to pay attention to this startling revelation. Their focus remained on their monstrous enemy and their own survival, leaving Tia's ordeal a secondary concern.<br>
<br>
&lt;Kai Response&gt;<br>
<br>
Thanks to Kai's [Future Sight], disaster was averted for several soldiers who had been headed towards the sinkholes. His clear and precise warnings allowed them to change course in the nick of time, saving them from potential injury or even death. Meanwhile, Gyoubu was able to rescue a few unfortunate souls who had fallen into the sinkholes, thanks to Kai's crucial guidance.<br>
<br>
&lt;Toad Response&gt;<br>
<br>
The Diseased Hill Toad was an abhorrent sight to behold. Towering over the battlefield, it was a monstrosity of nature that had grown to an astounding size that dwarfed even the largest of dire boars. It stood on four limbs, each one thick and muscular, the skin on them covered with countless warts and boils. The mottled green and brown skin was slick with a layer of grimy ooze that oozed from the numerous sores and pustules scattered across its body, leaving a trail of corrosive slime wherever it moved.<br>
<br>
Its large, bulbous eyes were a sickly yellow, with vertical pupils that shone with an unsettling malicious intelligence. The eyes were constantly darting around, unblinkingly taking in its surroundings. A layer of white, crusty residue lined the corners of its eyes, hinting at some sort of underlying infection or ailment.<br>
<br>
The toad's mouth was a gaping maw filled with rows of jagged, yellowed teeth. They were irregular in size and shape, some large and sharp, others broken or worn down. Bits and pieces of the soliders it had [devoured] pieces out from between it's teeth. A boot here and a hand there. <br>
<br>
Its tongue, a grotesque appendage that was thick and long, was covered in a layer of sticky saliva that dripped down to the ground, sizzling and steaming on contact. Without warning, the diseased toad reared up, its enormous body creating a shadow that seemed to consume the battlefield. When it reared back, the toad exposed its belly, a vast expanse of lighter, swollen flesh that pulsated with an inner life of its own. The belly skin was more translucent, showcasing a writhing mass of dark shapes that suggested a swarm of parasites or perhaps unborn offspring living inside. The sight was enough to churn even the strongest of stomachs.<br>
<br>
Then, in an act of unexpected agility, its tongue shot out with the speed and force of a cannonball. It ripped through three soldiers who stood in its path before coiling around Riku and his dire boar. The sight of their comrade being ensnared silenced the battlefield, all eyes on the grim spectacle unfolding before them. With an unsettling slurping sound, the toad began to retract its tongue, drawing Riku and his mount towards its gaping, grotesque mouth. The tension in the air became palpable, the soldiers momentarily frozen as they stared in shock and disbelief at their leader's plight.<br>
<br>
The squelching made by it's sudden reposition unleashed a nauseating stench, an amalgamation of rot, mold, and sickness that permeated the air around it. This smell seemed to be more than just a byproduct of its diseased state, acting as a deterrent to any potential predators or threats.<br>
<br>
<b><span style="font-size: 18px">OOC Summary:</span></b><br>
<br>
As the Diseased Hill Toad thrashes, roars, and retaliates, the chaos in the field is staggering. The poison from its Toxic Secretion and Pustule Eruption abilities has inflicted severe damage on those unfortunate enough to get too close. Multiple soldiers are nursing burns, boils, and rashes, the pain of which is only exacerbated by the creeping corruption of the poison.<br>
<br>
The numbers of those fallen are disheartening as well. The monstrous amphibian has devoured a fair share of soldiers already, their screams echoing through the muddy field as they met their gruesome end. Each loss has sent a jolt of shock and horror through the ranks, making them all too aware of the lethal capabilities of their foe.<br>
<br>
As it stands, there are a number of active threats and challenges that the group must consider:<br>
<br>
1. The [Stench Cloud] covers a 50 foot area around the toad now. It acts as [Irritant E; stench causes those of E-grade or lower to intermitantly vomit, which is really distracting]. <br>
<br>
2. The [Toxic Secretion[ and [Pustule Eruption[ of the Diseased Hill Toad: The toad's poisonous abilities have already caused extensive damage, and there's every indication it will continue to use these methods as the fight goes on. The toxic slime and pus are not only harmful on contact but also carry a lingering effect that continues to inflict damage over time. These effects are very distracting, because it takes several seconds for Ceylan's [Curse Cleanse] to proc, meaning there are precious seconds were those impacted get to feel their skin meltings off and disease taking hold. In it's own way the repeated damaging and healing is a form of torture. <br>
<br>
3. The [Mud Pit] This environmental hazard is proving to be a significant obstacle, not just because of the risk of sinking into the mud, but also because it hinders mobility. The unpredictable terrain makes it difficult to approach the toad or retreat swiftly when needed. It requires a movement ability or something creative to not have it hinder mobility and impact the effectiveness of attacks. <br>
<br>
4. The [Cannonball Tongue] This terrifying weapon can lash out unexpectedly, causing devastation in its path and even pulling unsuspecting victims straight into the toad's mouth. Dodging this attack requires a high degree of alertness and agility. It is a straight line attack, killing up to 3 NPCs in it's path and entangling it's victim and drawing it into its mouth on the following road. <br>
<br>
5. [Casualties] Each loss of a comrade reduces the group's strength and fighting spirit. The psychological impact of witnessing these losses cannot be underestimated. Furthermore, the wounded require urgent medical attention, dividing the resources and attention of the healers in the group.<br>
- Yari: The 1 unit of Yari has been decimated. Three of them have been devoured and the remaining 2 have low morale. <br>
- Archers: They are doing the best since they've kept their distance. Their arrows have managed to hurt the toad's belly. <br>
- Scouts: Whiteclaw and his crew are doing quite well. <br>
- Boar Riders: Riku and his Boar are going to be eaten. Meanwhile, two other boar riders bodies are a crumpled mess from the [Cannonball Tongue].<br>
<br>
6. The [Corruption of Tia] Ceylan's healing magic has managed to stabilize her condition, but the monstrous transformation triggered by the toad's poison presents a problem of its own. Her altered state might cause fear or revulsion among the soldiers, and she herself seems to be struggling with her new form.<br>
<br>
7. [Maintaining Coordination] With the constant threats and challenges, maintaining an organized and effective strategy is becoming increasingly difficult. Clear communication and a united front are crucial to overcoming this menace.</div>

Tia's fate was a gruesome one. With the best of his healing extended to her, he triedt o calm her down. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“It's alright, it's alright. Tia is still Tia.”</b></span> He reassured her, remembering her of the catch-phrase he'd taught her. He'd known from the start, her origins and what she was right now alike, so all he did was embrace her tighter. That'd express what words could not. <br>
<br>
With effort, he managed to focus on extend his healing magic to others, hoping to provide them with a state that'd allow them to keep up against this monstrous creature. He noticed many of the looks at Tia, however, so he'd speak up. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Fear not, she's not what she seems to be, focus on the toad!”</b></span> He'd call out, hoping that his reputations (and leading by example in not fearing her) would be enough to dissuade some of the fear.<br>
<br>
He wasn't sure what to do. Those that died were too mutilated to be resurrected. He didn't possess the skills to save Riku, unless, perhaps he'd try summoning him as well, but he feared his concentration was waning rapidly. Out of all the threats that were active, there was one he figured he might aid with. The [Stench Cloud]. He extended his healing magic through various (25) points in the cloud to cleanse it, hoping to be able to ward off its Irritant Effects. Combined with continued B-grade use (duration) to cancel out the Toxic Secretion and Pustule Eruption, as well as hopefully calming folk regarding Tia, he was doing all he could do during this fight. It'd be up to the others to deal with the many other issues. <br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Indicus couldn't help but smile as the Toad roared in agony its retaliation failing to catch him though a few soldiers fell victim to the attack thanks to Ceylan's magic the stench cloud was made bearable for Indicus and whatever toxic slime covered the toad seemed to thin ever so slightly. <br>
<br>
Indicus had a savage thought with the toxins the toad possessed lessened and the healing spell he felt constantly rejuvenating him how much damage could he do if he latched onto the toad and kept attacking, how satisfying would it be to teach this creature how badly it mistake would cost it. <br>
<br>
With that thought Indicus once more put his agility [Precision D, Speed D, Fast F] and his allies observations to work dodging sink holes and looping  around to the side of the Toad making sure it did not notice him [Stealth F] [Undetected sound F] before [Jumping F] onto it's back. <br>
<br>
Using his newly discovered strength [super strength E], [Strength D]  Indicus dug the claws of his feet and hands into the flesh of the Toad. Indicus knew the spell Ceylan used would only negate so much of the toxin and heal him so fast but he trusted in his scales [Natural armor (light) F] and [Regeneration F]. Ignoring the sound of the toxin trying to eat through his scales Indicus took his right hand out of the Toad tearing the flesh and started using his claws to ravage his enemy [ Strength E] always making sure to use his agility [Precision D] and strength [Strength D, [Super strength E] to keep a stable grip He even added his [fire breath F] into the mix further<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
OOC: 1: Indicus runs up to (Fast F, Speed D, Precision D) avoiding terrain hazards and jumps (Jump F) onto the toad using his strength (Super strength E, Strength D) and agility (Precision D) to dig into the Toads flesh with his claws (Hands and feet) and hold himself there.<br>
<br>
2: Indicus savagely attacks the Toad (strength E)<br>
<br>
3: Indicus uses (Fire breath F) on the toad.<br>
<br>
Cooldowns F: 0/0</div>

"...Well... that..." he saw the tongue throb and pulse, the... squirming insects within the body and the fact it was... SO horribly rancid of a smell he couldn't help but think this thing must be a walking mass of rot and... puss... Put simply, Ko had to focus hard to not throw up... Wait...<br>

Unfortunately the sight which Yukan saw was just another one that felt like a hell picture scroll had been unraveled. Between the toxic fumes, and excretions which were burning people, the mud pit, Tia's suffering, people literally dying who had come so far in front of Yukan, it was really a mess. Yukan knew however that in battle one couldn't lose their resolve after seeing the death of their comrades. For all of these reasons it was why he wanted to avoid fighting the toad, but it seemed inevitable now that it was what he had to do. With his<b> [Triad Allied Leader] t</b>itle Yukan had no intentions of backing away or showing his back to this toad, he would lead by example by not fleeing from this danger, but facing it head on.<br>
<br>
Thankfully due to his grade being higher than E he wasn't outright vomiting but he still no doubt felt incredibly nauseated by the scent, particularly thanks to his enhanced sense of smell which amany Tanuki would be suffering from this more than usual particularly if they had recently eaten any rations or anything of the like.<br>
Seeing Ceylan try to remedy the damage was good, but frankly this toad was a much bigger issue than Tia at the moment who he was going on about, unless whatever she was started trying to kill people too which would be detrimental at this point with everything else going on.<br>
<br>
Yukan felt his heart racing as he saw the scene unfold further, the Toad was about to kill Riku, that would be a detrimental blow to everyone's morale, not only that Riku had shown that he wasn't as scummy as Yukan had originally assumed him to be, and there was no way he could get over there fast enough to stop it, this was upsetting indeed..but wait could Ko stop the tongue before it killed even more? Seeing him jump into action, that would be extremely helpful he could debilitate one of the Toad's most threatening weapons besides the poison that burned.  It seemed like Ceylan was attempting to deal with some of  these issues. Kai was also proving to be valuable with his directional advice as well as Gyoubu helping people and Paru who was presumably going to aid Ko in his operations. <br>
<br>
Yukan also witnessed Indicus seemingly give into his wild instinct and start attacking the toad savagely which could be beneficial if they could set it ablaze, but there still didn't seem to be enough damage coming it's way to cease it's activity. They needed a more coordinated effort, and as much as Yukan wanted to rush in and basic strike it with his F grade weapon on principle alone for his fallen allies, he knew that was a foolish move for him when he was needed to lead the sections his voice could reach. For now he'd try his best to avoid hazards when they cropped up while keeping his distance from the toad so that he'd hopefully have time to react if it tried to attack him directly. Yukan decided to do what he did best for the time being until he got more combat abilities and spoke up with <b>Follow the Leader.</b> to hopefully help  counteract Problems 5. and 7.  with coordination and  some of the morale issues from people literally being killed now.<br>
<br>
<b>"We have come this far, we must not lose our resolve in the face of our enemy. We will not show our backs, we will fight with honor for our fallen comrades, They have fought along side us against evil with us so far so that the innocent of Kuridan may live another day,  do not let their noble sacrifices be in vain! United we will conquer this beast corrupted by the White Witch, and we will vanquish her evil! Continue moving, do not give this toad the opportunity to maim many of us at once, we need a unified assault on the weaker parts of it's body, Healers must continue to provide support during this endeavor to ensure maximum effectiveness this is a top priority, the sooner the toad falls the more of us there are who will live to end her vile transgression against nature once and for all!" </b><br>

As they came to a stop near the toad, Paru's eyes burned from the smell. It was disgusting, the most disgusting thing she'd ever seen. Killing beasts and monster that wandered to close to the village was one thing, this was a whole other mess. She looked to Ko, who seemed out of sorts. <span style="color: rgb(250, 250, 51)">"A-are you alright?"</span> The second she opened her mouth she regretted it. She could taste the air, and nearly sent the berries and nuts she had for breakfast back into the world. She collected herself and turned back the task at hand. <span style="color: rgb(250, 250, 51)">"I'll try and do what I did earlier, you just cut when the think the time is ri-"</span> The toads tongue flew forward, sending a shockwave that blew back her hair and made her robes shudder. This wouldn't be so easy.<br>
"Paru I'm-" he retched. "CUTTING IT!"<br>
<span style="color: rgb(250, 250, 51)">"D-DON'T YOU THROW UP, I'LL THROW UP!"</span> She closed her eyes and focused as she did before, searching herself and the surrounding land for any connection to nature, anything good clean and natural she could reach spiritually and directed it at Ko. She had no idea if this would work, but she didn't have a better idea.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Kai witnessed the toad attacking all of the others. This thing was disgusting to say the least and putting it down was the best that they could do. His experience with the Yakuza did wonders for his ability to not gag at disgusting smells. In this situation Kai was certainly one of the fastest as his [ Sense ] meant that the sinkholes were more or less visible to him.<br>
<br>
Kai made his way to the toad as it’s tongue was a troublesome ability. As he ran he picked up a Katana from the battlefield, no doubt a weapon that was once used by an eaten warrior which got loose and fell to the ground. The Yakuza hobo would run around, watching the frog’s eyes to make sure he was always at it’s blindspots and it’s focus was towards something else, so he wasn’t in danger until the very end.<br>
<br>
When Kai reached the Frog Kai would use one of his ancestor’s techniques. [ Dragon’s Fang ]. Kai would aim the Katana he picked up from the battlefield before he aimed for a certain point in the toad. Kai would follow the motions he was taught so long ago, he aimed for the weakest points along his intended offense adding [ Penetrating ] to the attack.<br>

Where Kai aimed his attack was the base of the Toad’s Jaw, he was aiming towards the tendons that controlled it’s jaw movements in order to prevent it from closing it’s mouth and swallowing more people. Kai would then retreat, using his [ Precognition F ] to gaze into the future, not only to make sure his strike had the intended effect, but to make sure to see it’s actions and avoid it’s counter attack as he escaped the danger and retreated back to safety as he left the sword he picked up still inside the creature, as to disturb it mouth movements further and to have it still cut into the toad as it moved.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The group of warriors from Kuridan were lagging in the press forward their goal in sight - an abandoned watch tower in the distance, the rumored hideout of the accursed White Witch. Yet between them and their objective lied the grotesque menace - the Diseased Hill Toad. The battlefield had been a spectacle of chaos and grim determination. Against the sinking sun, the monstrous figure of the Diseased Hill Toad grotesquely contrasted with the sky, its diseased, leviathan form a bulwark of corruption nestled within the once rolling hills. It squatted in a pit of churned earth and mud, a stench and sludge barrier that marked its revolting domain.<br>
<br>
On the edges of the Mud Pit, the Kuridan troops were scattered, some in small clusters, others in formation, brandishing their weapons against the monstrous adversary. Trying to push on despite the mounting causalties. Even the holy magic of Ceylan's Curse Cleanse went so far. His [Curse Cleanse] worked to counteract the toxic secretion and the eruption of pus-filled pustules from the diseased toad. Yet, as successful as his healing magic was, it wass not an instantaneous cure. For those affected, each second of exposure to the toxin felt like an eternal hell. The anticipation of another splash causing people to tense up in anticipation like a beaten dog. It was a relentless cycle of excruciating pain followed by soothing relief as the magic takes hold, only for the process to repeat as the onslaught continued.<br>
<br>
Amidst this chaos, Yukan stood, a pillar of leadership and determination. His amplified voice, enabled by his "Follow the Leader" ability, ring across the battlefield, stirring unity and renewed purpose among the beleaguered warriors. They echo even amidst the roars and cries of the monstrous toad. As he invoked their shared purpose and the memories of their fallen comrades, a palpable shift occured. The soldiers, still shaken from their losses, steel themselves, their eyes hardened as they lock onto the toad. Despite their fear and the horror of their circumstances, they respond to Yukan's call for unity, organizing themselves more effectively and moving once again with purpose. The two Shrine Maidens redouble their effort, the flickering greenish hue of their magic wash over the wounded as they try to keep pace with the growing number of casualties.<br>
<br>
Still the sight of Riku and his dire boar mount being drawn into the toad's mouth to be devoured like several others had been, was difficult for a seasoned warrior to watch let alone these new trainees. Even the long siege of the zombie hoarde had ended without casulty, but here people were being grown down and not rising up again.<br>
<br>
A sudden movement diverted attention to a lithe figure - Ko, his determined visage unwavering as he plunged into the melee. His enchanted Mithril blade had glinted in the waning daylight. With a fierce battle cry, Ko lept into action. His enchanted Mithril blade caught the light, an arc of lethal force slicing through the air towards the toad's tongue.<br>
<br>
Nearby, Paru, the group's Kirin, stood with eyes shut, channeling the purity of her heritage, trying to reconnect with the Eternal Glade. In response to her energy, a resonant hum of celestial power vibrated beneath the battlefield, a radiant fairy ring of mushrooms sprouted again in a stark contrast to the gruesome conflict around them. Amid the blood and turmoil, this patch of ethereal beauty became a moment of tranquility. The wave of purity washed over the chaotic scene, as if a sudden spring had broken forth in the middle of a muddy field. The ley lines from the Shrine of Cursed Cleansing started to vibrate, a glow of celestial energy pulsating beneath the surface of the ground. This wave of nature's energy surged forward, passing through Paru and into Ko, aiding his heroic strike. All around them, fairy rings of mushrooms sprung up, their ethereal glow casting an almost whimsical contrast to the grim battlefield. Each served as a small island amongst the filt and muck.<br>
<br>
Kai darted towards the Diseased Hill Toad, dodging sink holes and rushing through the knee high mud in wet, squelching steps. It was slow. The mud clung to everything and seemed to hold on to his feet before they broke the surface to move forward another step. As he neared the toad, he initiated one of his inherited techniques - [Dragon's Fang], a strike that targeted weak points with devastating precision. His plan was simple, yet bold; incapacitate the toad's ability to swallow more people by striking at the base of its jaw while Ko severed the tongue.<br>
<br>
With a speed and accuracy honed by years of experience, Kai delivered his attack. He aimed for the tendons controlling the toad's jaw movements. He was over extended, the mud prevent his easy movements. The blade missed the tenderest parts of the toad, but still sunk into the creature's jaw. As soon as the blade hit its mark, Kai tried to retreat, but the mud made movement very hard and slow. His [Precognition F] ability flared to life screaming of a terrible next few seconds and granting him the knowledge to avoid what was to come even if his body could not react. Still he did what he could in that moment, leaving the impaled sword lodged inside the creature, hampering its movements further with every attempt it made to close its gaping maw.<br>
<br>
With a sickening squelch, Ko's mithril blade severed the muscular appendage of the Diseased Hill Toad, the tip of the tongue tumbling through the air, before thudding into the mud. Riku and his mount, stunned and out of breath, fell with the severed end of the tongue into the mud. The Diseased Hill Toad let out an ear-splitting ribbet of agony, a bellow that echoed through the hills. The effect was immediate: without its tongue, the toad's reach and capacity for instilling fear have drastically reduced, a small victory for the beleaguered troops.<br>
<br>
Just as Ko, with a flourish of his mithril blade, severed the toad's massive tongue, a shower of foul, putrid blood erupted from the wound like a firehose that sprayed everywhere as both the severed tongue and the remaining stump ejected blood like a firehose cut in the middle. Ko, Paru, Kai, and ten other soldiers including Gyoubu found themselves caught in this gruesome blood rain, the warm, fetid fluid soaking their clothing and matting their hair. This wasn't just toad's blood. Amidst the viscous fluid, small, black leech-like creatures squirmed and writhed. The black leech-like creatures scramble over the exposed bodies, trying to latch onto their skin and burrow in, an alien sensation that strangely felt pleasurable, the passage of the black leeches leaving a menthol chill that sent shivers along the exposed flesh and up the spine.<br>
<br>
At the battle's fringes, Saint Ceylan hovered, a master of healing magic. Already maintaining several celestial magics simulatneously, he added another. The air around Ceylan hummed with magic, added in part by the surge of celestial energy reconnected by Paru's actions, his healing energy burst outwards towards as a countervailing wind to the stench cloud. As the magic interacts with the noxious cloud, there's a slight shimmer, like heat rising off hot asphalt, before the air begins to clear. The suffocating stench lessens, replaced with the faint, soothing scent of Ceylan's magic. It carried with it a memory of the dream of the Shrine of Cleansed Curses. The Soldiers in the vicinity found their eyes watering less; their throats less constricted. The Irritant Effect of the stench cloud had been countered, making the conditions slightly more bearable for those fighting within it.<br>
<br>
On the battlefield's other side, Indicus was a spectacle of primal strength and savagery, his draconic heritage surfacing for all to see like a full moon in the darkest night. Indicus became a force of his dragonic nature, his ancestry surfacing with potent fury. His scales shone with a luminescent glow, and his body moved with an animalistic agility and strength that was both terrifying and awe-inspiring. As he leapt onto the toad, his claws rent through the toad's flesh bursting several pustules. The cylce of disease and corrosive poison was muted by his dragonic scales and eventually countered by Ceylan's Curse Cleanse, but the the mental strain didn't seem to register. Rather instead of screaming, Indicus breathed fire into the open wounds, letting his dragon fire eat at the raw flesh beneath the postules. Taking aim at the exposed and burnt circles upon the toad's back, White Claw and the rest of the scout unit leap high into the air and fire precise, targetted arrows driving deep into these exposed holes. This time the arrows sunk up to their fletching and the toad went insane with the pain of it.<br>
<br>
As the toad reeled from the combined assault, its only retaliation was churn the mud beneath it digging itself deeper into the mud pit, submerging more of its body. This battle of endurance, of will against the grotesque perversion of nature, lingered on. Every soldier, every strike, every breath mattered in the struggle against the Diseased Hill Toad slowly wearing down this leviathan hopefully before the hunters were nothing more than broken minds and animated bodies akin the zombies they'd fought in the corrupted Mindscape. After the onslaught from the troops, the Diseased Hill Toad was in a terrible state. Its body heaved with each pained breath, the ragged hole where its tongue used to be still spurted blood and black leeches into the mud. The latter burrowed through the mud towards living hosts. The toad shuddered, its immense body sinking even deeper into the muddy pit.<br>
<br>
Suddenly, the ground quaked beneath the toad as it triggered a massive upheaval of the Mud Pit! A five foot wave of mud rolled out over the now 90 foot in diameter mud pit. The wave crashed over bodies, the undertow dragging people down as the depth of the pit seemed to have grown from only two feet to four feet deep! Even more of the toad's body submerged as the pit's depth continued to grow! <br>
<br>
<b><span style="font-size: 22px">OOC Summary:</span></b><br>
<br>
As it stands, there are a number of active threats and challenges that the group must consider:<br>
<br>
1. The [Stench Cloud] covers a 50 foot area around the toad now. It acts as [Irritant E; stench causes those of E-grade or lower to intermitantly vomit, which is really distracting].<br>
&gt; Resolved by Ceylan<br>
<br>
2. The [Toxic Secretion[ and [Pustule Eruption[ of the Diseased Hill Toad: The toad's poisonous abilities have already caused extensive damage, and there's every indication it will continue to use these methods as the fight goes on. The toxic slime and pus are not only harmful on contact but also carry a lingering effect that continues to inflict damage over time. These effects are very distracting, because it takes several seconds for Ceylan's [Curse Cleanse] to proc, meaning there are precious seconds were those impacted get to feel their skin meltings off and disease taking hold. In it's own way the repeated damaging and healing is a form of torture.<br>
&gt; Partially resolved by Ceylan, albeit with the continous torture of being horribly mangled only to be remade, living that pain and agony over and over and over as the battle rages on.<br>
<br>
<br>
3. The [Mud Pit] threat has escalated! This environmental hazard is now a huge obstacle, not just because of the risk of sinking into the mud has doubled (4 feet deep), but also because it now makes mobility impossible without Move Skills or a creative stunt (ala Paru's idea of the Fairy Rings). Further more the 5 foot tidal wave of mud has those pesky black leeh things that you'd seen in it's belly now released. Thus if you aren't able to dodge the tidal wave (e.g. move ability or being on the toad's back like Indicus) then you are gonna have to deal with that at some point. Also it appears the Diseased Hill Toad is attempting to burrow into the mud pit, perhaps to escape or wait you out, the mud pit continues to grow as if the toad was transmuting the terrain into a more suitable accomodation! Mud pit is 90 feet in diameter and 4 feet deep (previously 60 feet in diameter 2 feet deep). In essence the sink holes have converted from pesky trap to dodge to part of the mud pit.<br>
<br>
4. The [Cannonball Tongue] This terrifying weapon can lash out unexpectedly, causing devastation in its path and even pulling unsuspecting victims straight into the toad's mouth. Dodging this attack requires a high degree of alertness and agility. It is a straight line attack, killing up to 3 NPCs in it's path and entangling it's victim and drawing it into its mouth on the following road.<br>
&gt; Neutralized thanks to Ko supported with teamwork from Paru and Kai. This is a source of significant and on-going damage to the Toad.<br>
<br>
5. [Casualties] Each loss of a comrade reduces the group's strength and fighting spirit. The psychological impact of witnessing these losses cannot be underestimated. Furthermore, the wounded require urgent medical attention, dividing the resources and attention of the healers in the group.<br>
&gt; This was neutralized by Yukan allowing for more teamwork and attacks whittling down the toad and opening up most of the postules. Indicus and others dealt severe damage to the Toad's back.<br>
&gt; However this is an on-going and escalating problem.<br>
- Yari: The 1 unit of Yari has been decimated. Three of them have been devoured and the remaining 2 have black leeches and were hit by the mud tidal wave and aren't coming up.<br>
- Archers: They are doing the best since they've kept their distance. Their arrows have managed to hurt the toad's back in concert with melee attacks on the postules and other exposed areas. However when the pit expanded, they fell in and where hit with the mud tidal wave. However, being closer to the edge, they seem able to recover better. <br>
- Scouts: Whiteclaw and his crew are doing quite well. They are doing the best. With their birdkin jumping and "flappy hover" abilities, they've been able to keep in the air quite a lot and haven't taken any damage and completely dodges the tidal wave. Also the fairy rings summoned by Paru helped them find a few islands of stability earlier on in the round. Yukan will need to decide if he will commit them to the Toad's back or have them withdraw and fire at an even further distance.<br>
- Boar Riders: Riku and his Boar were saved but hosed with toad blood and black leeches, already wounded with broken ribs and such, they were hit by the tidal wave and went under.   Meanwhile, two other boar riders bodies are a crumpled mess from the [Cannonball Tongue], even if they were restored with Curse Cleanse, they also went under during the tidal wave. Two of the boar riders were also hit with the blood and have the leeches. Two others who were in the southern flank are doing better. The Dire Boars appear best off since they are animals and large enough to "doggy paddle" towards the Toad, which they appear to be doing. The Tanuki however will likely not surface without help.<br>
<br>
6. The [Corruption of Tia] Ceylan's healing magic has managed to stabilize her condition, but the monstrous transformation triggered by the toad's poison presents a problem of its own. Her altered state might cause fear or revulsion among the soldiers, and she herself seems to be struggling with her new form.<br>
&gt; Resolved by Ceylan.<br>
<br>
7. [Maintaining Coordination] With the constant threats and challenges, maintaining an organized and effective strategy is becoming increasingly difficult. Clear communication and a united front are crucial to overcoming this menace.<br>
&gt; Resolved by Yukan.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Kai might have been sprayed with possibly corrupted blood, but pain didn’t really matter to him. This was a man that had killed his enemy when he had been pierced with a bullet in his gut and had willed himself forwards when he was being gunned down by countless bullets. He was chased around through an uncertain amount of time by the fae in the dreamlands, having been sliced an untold amount of time, but still never letting them take his life. Kai’s pain tolerance was insane and combined with his [ Regeneration F ] he was an unrelenting opponent. <br>
<br>
Kai had already predicted the mud wave and responded as he leaped on to a fairy ring, helped by [ Jump F ] and [ Fast F ]. As he had already known if that was there… which he did due to his future sight. Kai pulled out his sword and Saya . Before leaping off the fairy Ring to avoid the mudwave. Kai spun in the air to use the momentum to hopefully throw off the leaches and mud on his body. <br>
<br>
As the Yakuza Hobo soared through the sky he had aimed himself at a certain position in the frog. While he was not a straight A student, Kai could still remember the dissection of that toad he had to do in biology class. He knew the postions of it’s vital organs, the heart and the lung along with the cluster from other organs. Kai had activated his [ Precognition ] to predict the motion of the leap by reading the frog’s movements. This time taking into account of the mud on his body to aim himself straight down on to the heart of the toad before unleashing a dropping down variant of [ Dragon’s Fang ] applying [ Penetrating ]. Aiming for it’s heart or another organ around that area. <br>
<br>
Kai wasn’t finished as he made sure the blade sank in deep as he took the Saya and slammed down on the handle of the Katana like a hammer and Nail, as he called out to the rest of the group as he leaped back to allow the other’s their chance. <span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">“Aim at…!”</span> Kai would inform the group on the back of the toad to launch to focus their attacks at the locations of it’s vital organs, hopefully dealing the finishing blow. <br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Indicus relished in his preys agony though the prey could barely fight back which disappointed Indicus somewhat it seemed while the roars of pain were pleasing this prey was not as worthy as Indicus first thought. It had killed many of the fur balls but they were weak anyway their potential limited but it's efforts were wasted it's struggles pointless.<br>
<br>
Indicus watched a human pierce part of the prey's back, and say something about vital organs. Either way Indicus would not be outdone by a mere human, so he found a location on the prey's back and started digging towards the soft and squishy insides even trying to use his mouth once causing an unpleasant taste in his mouth and some discomfort before both went away. Indicus instead just used his fire to incinerate the flesh in front of him as he tore into the prey almost smelling the rancid soft fleshy bits.<br>
<br>
OOC <br>
Like a twisted Olympic swimmer Indicus tears through the toad using his strength, fire breath, and agility uncaring about anything else but the death of his prey in his current state of mind. <br>

"Well thats shi-"<br>
<br>
he couldn't finish those words his body needed to react. Quickly, he took off his coat and tossed it up at the incoming spray, hoping by the gods it stopped the horrific ichor from covering him, nonetheless he made distance from the spraying hose of blood currently spewing from the creature. But... what of Paru...? She couldn't disrobe! She was a lady! <br>
<br>
He had to help his comrade... Somehow...<br>
<br>
His shirt!<br>
<br>
But he had no time to fuss with his shirt! <br>
<br>
With... With one quick cut he could get his pants loose to cover her from the blood! And the... parasites... <br>
<br>
NO TIME TO THINK!!<br>
<br>
the threadbare pants stood very little chance, as he quickly sliced, a line down, then up, but enough to destroy the threadbare pants into a... Impromptu... cover... And threw the... rather smelly.. Cover to Paru as the man who was very much wearing only his fundoshi, belt and undershirt called "Protect yourself!" <br>
<br>
He made his escape around the beast, trying to stay away from the incoming spray.<br>

Actions<br>
Sacrifice coat to block ichor.<br>
Sacrifice pants to block ichor coming to paru. <br>

Languages: Common | &lt;Beastial&gt;<br>​</div>Paru was surprised once again as her latent hidden power sprung forth, providing points of relief through out the battlefield. She watched them spring forth, her thoughts over whelmed with how and why she had this power. She was so distracted she didn't see the results of Ko's slice. Watching the effects of the rings against the corruption, she had a sudden idea. <span style="color: rgb(250, 250, 51)">"Mutt! I think the rings are blocking the foul magic. Use them for respite if you need a moment, I'll start grabbing the loo-"</span> As she turned to Ko at the cry of "protect yourself!", a pair of pants suddenly landed on her head, followed by a sudden but brief downpour of blood and parasites. Fuming with discontent she grabbed the pants to hurl to the ground. <span style="color: rgb(250, 250, 51)">"&lt;WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR-&gt;"</span> That's when she saw Ko fighting is in his small clothes. <span style="color: rgb(250, 250, 51)">"... Huh..."</span> She dropped the pair of pants before the disgusting filth creatures could reach her hand and used her natural speed and leaping ability to get as many soldiers struggling in the mud to the safety of the fairy rings as she could.<br>
<br>
Actions:<br>
1 - Observe the battlefield to gain an understanding of what is taking place.<br>
2 - Use Speed, Jumping, and Acrobatics to move around the battlefield dodging the spray<br>
3 - Carry as many struggling soldiers as I can to fairy rings</div>

At the very least some of the issues had been absolved between the group's teamwork. That didn't make the severe injuries and even death that was taking place before them any less upsetting or problematic. Deep down Yukan couldn't help but feel somewhat shaken, he had never actually been on a proper battle field before, so even if he was good enough at presenting himself as stoic and serious it did genuinely pain him to see so much suffering between the toad and his comrades. The sooner they ended this the better as he had stated.<br>
<br>
Everyone's following actions would influence the direction which Yukan was going to take. Kai ran ahead targeting the back using his skills to transverse the treacherous area and attack the toad hopefully so that they could collectively deal the final blows needed to bring it down. Then Indicus followed suit savagely striking the toad's injured back, which was now no doubt progressively weakening as they had been wailing oni t's natural armor no doubt for much of this time. Then there was Ko with his quick thinking who was acting noble enough, shedding his clothing to protect his ally from the hazards.<br>
Yukan focused on following Kai's intelligence to avoid some of the other hazards.Yukan took note of Paru who was moving around the field with impressive agility. He was glad to have allies like these. Meanwhile presumably Ceylan was continuing what he had been doing before and supporting the group, an dealing with Tia who was presumably still suffering.<br>
<br>
Yukan had a moment of clarity where he spoke with determination  and decisiveness with  <b>To Arms! <br>
<br>
"Everyone commit and engage the toad's back where Kai says! It has become vulnerable! This is our moment to decisively end the blood shed,! All of those capable focus on the back and attack it's vital spots! Scouts, avoid friendly fire for those getting in close!  We need to penetrate deep, attack for all those who have given their lives for Kuridan!"</b> Yukan proclaimed wishing that he could jump into the fray there himself but he wasn't positioned to do so nor did he have the combat skills to effectively get over there, they needed him where he was, surveying the battlefield and giving orders, that's what his skillset was.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">As the sun began to set over the bloodied battlefield of Kuridan, the crimson hue painted the sky with an eerie glow. The land, once a lush green, was now a muddy pit; the moist earth churned and tainted with the blood and remains of fallen warriors. The stench was overwhelming; a mixture of death, decay, and the putrid scent that emanated from the monstrosity they faced.<br>
<br>
Twisted trees, that bore witness to the conflict, stretched their gnarled branches towards the heavens as if pleading for reprieve. Amidst the mud, patches of strange luminescence glimmered, products of Paru’s latent powers – fairy rings that pulsated with energy, their iridescent hues in stark contrast to the gloom.<br>
<br>
As the battlefield resonated with the cacophony of clashing steel, the cry of the fallen, and the roar of the monstrosity, the reality of the human cost of this engagement set in. A fog began to roll over the once-green fields, as if mourning the casualties, and the dim light of twilight shrouded the area in a somber cloak.<br>
<br>
In the midst of the melee, the Yari unit had suffered the most, their bodies torn asunder by the creature's massive appendages. The faces of the fallen Yari warriors were etched into the memories of their comrades. The psychological toll was profound, and the remaining warriors fought with a fervor born of grief and rage.<br>
<br>
The archers, having kept their distance, fought valiantly, their arrows piercing the toad’s back and further weakening it. But when the ground gave way beneath them, they struggled to regain their footing as the mud consumed them. Their bows and arrows were scattered, and they scrambled to recover their equipment and rejoin the fight.<br>
<br>
Whiteclaw’s scouts, the agile birdkin, remained unscathed. Their feathers shimmered even in the darkening battlefield, and their talons, ready to strike. They hovered over the battlefield, their eyes scanned for an opening to exploit.<br>
<br>
The boar riders, though valiant, had borne the brunt of the toad's fury. Riku, his face contorted in pain and his ribs broken, clung to his dire boar as it paddled through the mire. The dire boars, with their natural strength and resilience, were trying to make it to the toad, while the small tanuki were struggling, their heads barely visible above the mud.<br>
<br>
As the toad writhed in agony, a shower of blood and parasites burst from its maw. Ko, a lean figure with wind sweeping through his hair and a fiercely determined expression, moved with a swiftness that belied his threadbare attire. The light from the fairy rings glinted off his eyes. Ko's instincts kicked in. With deft agility, he flung his coat in the air as a shield against the vile rain. As he flung his coat in an arc, the fabric catching droplets of tainted blood, forming a temporary barrier. His coat was worn, a testament to many battles, and it absorbed the ichor like a sponge. As the parasites cascaded down, he thought of Paru. Ko's hand moved to his blade, and with a swift motion, he slashed his pants, tearing the fabric. He hurled it towards Paru with a chivalrous yet frantic shout, his voice carrying across the mud pit. His sacrifice was both brave and comedic, as he now wore only his fundoshi, belt, and undershirt. The clothing provided some protection to Paru and himself from the foul shower.<br>
<br>
Paru, with her agile and acrobatic prowess, was initially bewildered by the pair of pants that landed on her head. However, spotting Ko in his scant attire, she swiftly recomposed herself and put her powers to use. Paru's eyes darted across the battlefield as she took in the swirling chaos. The ground, saturated with blood and mud, churned as soldiers and beasts fought, while the grotesque toad loomed over them, its back resembling a macabre tapestry of wounds and oozing postules. The air was thick with the acrid smell of the toad's blood, sweat, and mud. The cries of the fallen and the clashing of weapons reverberated through the air. She noted the positions of her comrades, the struggling soldiers, and the monstrous toad. Paru's heart ached at the sight of her fallen and wounded companions.<br>
<br>
Suddenly, she sprang into action. She darted across the muddied field. Paru’s legs coiled and released like springs as she soared using the fairy ring's to land and jump to dodge the toad’s blood spray. Her silhouette, outlined by the eerie light of the fairy rings, was a blur as she seemingly defied gravity with her acrobatics.<br>
<br>
As she neared the struggling soldiers, she extended her arms, picking them up. Her focus was unshakable as she moved with precision, evading every obstacle in her path. One by one, she deposited the wounded soldiers within the safety of the fairy rings, where their wounds began to close and their strength returned. Each time she set a soldier down, she whispered words of encouragement.<br>
<br>
The soldiers, witnessing Paru's daring rescue, felt a surge of hope and admiration. Whispers of her bravery spread through the ranks like wildfire. Even the wounded, who moments before had been on the brink of despair, found newfound strength in her actions. Gratitude and admiration shone in the eyes of those she saved, as they saw Ko's pantlessness and Paru's determination.<br>
<br>
-----<br>
<br>
Kai had already predicted the mud wave and responded as he leaped on to a fairy ring, helped by [ Jump F ] and [ Fast F ]. As he had already known if that was there… which he did due to his future sight. Kai pulled out his sword and Saya. Before leaping off the fairy ring to avoid the mudwave. Kai spun in the air to use the momentum to hopefully throw off the leaches and mud on his body. The centrifugal force sending mud and leeches flying from his body. Below him, the colossal toad’s grotesque form, dotted with wounds and postules, seemed to challenge the very sky with its unnatural presence.<br>
<br>
His muscles rippled as he leaped, turning in the air, his long coat swirling around him like the wings of a raven. The toad's blood spattered across his face, but he did not falter. As he descended upon the toad, his sword’s thrust carried the weight of his determination. As the Yakuza Hobo soared through the sky he had aimed himself at a certain position in the frog. Guided by knowledge from his past, he targeted the toad’s vital organs with a modified [Dragon’s Fang] strike, plunging his sword deep into the creature’s heart. The blade sank in and he hammered it further with the saya, causing immense damage. He called out for the others to aim for the toad’s vital organs.<br>
<br>
 “Aim at…!” Kai would inform the group on the back of the toad to launch to focus their attacks at the locations of it’s vital organs, hopefully dealing the finishing blow.<br>
<br>
Amidst the whirlwind of action that enveloped the battlefield, Indicus, the Dragonborn, was a tempest of rage and power. He watched with an intense, predatory gaze as Kai, the human, struck deep into the toad's body. The bloodlust that boiled within him made his vision red around the edges. He would not be outdone by a human. With an almost feral snarl, Indicus chose his spot on the toad’s vast back. His claws slashed and tore through the flesh with the precision of a surgeon and the brutality of a berserker. His every movement was charged with the singular purpose of reaching the heart of the beast.<br>
<br>
At one point, Indicus even tried using his mouth to rip into the toad, only to be met with the taste of something so vile that it made his senses recoil. This was but a brief pause, as his resolve only seemed to strengthen. Raising his head, he unleashed a torrent of flame that danced with his fury. The fire incinerated layers of flesh, leaving a gaping hole in the creature's back. The heat was so intense that it distorted the air, casting a shimmering aura around Indicus.<br>
<br>
Kai's attack had pierced the creature’s heart from one direction, and now Indicus was tearing through from another. It was as if the two warriors, in their fury, were bridging the gap that separated them through the sheer force of their relentless assault. Indicus’s draconic senses could now detect the rancid, pungent smell of the toad's innards. His claws finally broke through to the soft tissue beneath, which squelched and gave way under his relentless assault.<br>
<br>
The toad's tortured bellow reached an even higher pitch as Indicus' flames and claws met Kai’s blade within its very core. The combined ferocity of their attacks, bolstered by the relentless onslaught from the rest of the group, created a cataclysmic reaction within the diseased hill toad.<br>
<br>
----<br>
<br>
Yukan stood on a mound of earth surrounded by Paru's fairy rings, his gaze sweeping over the chaos. His armor reflected the faint celestial light of the gleaming mushrooms, making him appear as a beacon of hope. Yukan had a moment of clarity where he spoke with determination and decisiveness with To Arms!<br>
<br>
"Everyone commit and engage the toad's back where Kai says! It has become vulnerable! This is our moment to decisively end the blood shed,! All of those capable focus on the back and attack its vital spots! Scouts, avoid friendly fire for those getting in close! We need to penetrate deep, attack for all those who have given their lives for Kuridan!" Yukan proclaimed wishing that he could jump into the fray there himself, but he wasn't positioned to do so nor did he have the combat skills to effectively get over there, they needed him where he was, surveying the battlefield and giving orders, that's what his skillset was.<br>
<br>
His voice was a beacon, and the soldiers responded with a fervor that defied their weariness. They charged through the mud, swimming, wading, and pushing forward as if possessed by the spirits of their fallen comrades. Those who reached the toad swarmed over its back, their blades striking true under Yukan's guidance.<br>
<br>
With Yukan's words, Whiteclaw’s scouts were given the signal. His voice rang out over the battlefield, ordering them to strike at the toad’s back. The archers, taking his lead, redoubled their efforts. Their hearts hammered with anticipation as they, with the other fighters, focused their mightiest attacks at the locations Kai had indicated. Arrows, spells, and weapons struck true as they descended upon the diseased hill toad like a storm. Battle cries became a symphony amongst the collision of steel against the monstrous flesh.<br>
<br>
The Diseased Hill Toad, once a formidable monstrosity, was now being overwhelmed by the unrelenting assault. Its body heaved as swords, claws, and flames tore through its flesh. Bolstered by Ceylan's saintly blessings of nigh immortality and proof against all forms of corruption and filth, the efforts of Kai, Indicus, Ko, Paru, and Yukan, combined with the soldiers’ relentless attacks, wore it down. With every strike, the creature’s movements became slower, its cries weaker. Its strength waned until, with one final cacophonous roar, it fell silent and lifeless into the mire. The battlefield, once filled with the sound of chaos, settled into an eerie calm as the gargantuan creature that had wreaked havoc met its end. The survivors, though weary and covered in filth, stood tall as Ceylan's blessings washed away all signs of harm and corruption. United by the trials they had faced and the triumph they had achieved together. Many had died and been ressurected countless times during the battle, endured terrible tortue from boiling flesh and malvolent corruption. Yet though it all, Yukan's words had guided them and lead them. The group of heroes who had flocked to his banner was a testament to him. Together they had become so much more. <br>

			<div class="bbCodeBlock-content">As the aftermath of the battle with the diseased hill toad settled around them, the hunters of Kuridan began to regroup and tend to their wounded. The night, once so thick with terror and bloodshed, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. The moon, though veiled by dark clouds, bestowed a dim light upon the group as they made their way towards the abandoned watchtower.<br>
<br>
The path that led to the watchtower was rocky, the ground beneath their feet unyielding. Plant life thrived in a hostile manner, with shrubs and creepers brandishing thorns that seemed to grasp and claw at the fabric of the hunters' attire. The twisted branches of trees bent over the path, as if whispering secrets to those who dared traverse this forsaken route.<br>
<br>
A stifling heaviness was palpable in the air, the tendrils of corruption and decay twining around the very soul of the land. Those sensitive to magic could feel the relentless waves of darkness that seemed to emanate from the very earth.<br>
<br>
In the midst of this oppressive landscape, the hunters caught glimpses of strange apparitions out of the corners of their eyes. Shadows seemed to shift and figures that weren’t there a moment ago flitted across their peripheral vision. Illusions, whether borne out of the land's corruption or conjured by some unseen power, shrouded the way forward.<br>
<br>
As they pressed on, those among them with the gift of farsight noticed a figure atop the watchtower roof, nearly half a mile away. The figure waved, and though she was still quite a distance, they recognized her as the White Witch. She stood erect and poised, her robes fluttering in the night wind, her presence a stark contrast against the bleakness of the watchtower. Even from afar, she emanated an aura of mystery and power. The witch was peering through a curious telescope, its construction ornate and imbued with magics. Her gaze seemed to penetrate the very essence of the night as she observed the hunters.<br>
<br>
The White Witch awaited, and with her, perhaps answers to the secrets of this plagued land and the dark shadows that enveloped it.<br>
<br>
Should they press on? Every step could bring them closer. The ancient watchtower stood like a silent sentinel overlooking the brink of mysteries untold.</div>

<br>
So this was what it was truly like. No more miraculous fight with no casualties. No more being a saint strong enough to save everyone. This was like the 'real' battle's they discussed mere moments ago, where you had to choose who lives or dies. Even with his powers stretched as well as he could muster, he could see the losses. Was it because he'd focused on saving Tia first? Yet... how could he not have? It ate away at him. Gnawing at the back of his mind.<br>
<br>
He was surprised by how much more acquainted to these sights the others seemed to. Or at least they managed to look like it. Yukan was commanding them as calmly yet firmly as always. Indicus, Kai, Ko, Paru, kept fighting as if it was just another battle. Yet he could see what he'd been doing to people; his healing keeping them alive, but at the cost of great torture. He knew the alternative was having them die, but even so, he felt horrible about it. Some saint he was.<br>
<br>
He'd let his healing magic go on for a bit longer, desperately seeing if he could resurrect some people. He'd even go through the ungrateful task of trying to find lost limbs, for whilst he couldn't regrow them, he could re-attach them with his magic. Perhaps he was a [Fetcher] through and through, as he searched around muds for arms and legs the toad might've dropped and for the people they belonged too. Any life resurrected, person healed, limb reattached, was an ever so slight decrease of the overwhelming feeling of failure and sadness that'd arose within him. <br>
<br>
Tail and ears drooped, drenched in mud and gods know what else, he knew they'd beaten the Hill Toad, yet he still felt defeated. The reality of these 'unclean' and 'imperfect' victories was different in practice than on paper, no matter how one looked at it. He'd seen death before, sure, a lot of it, but not like this. Not the desperate fighting, continuous torture from poison, the sight of contorted bodies with faces that clearly weren't ready to meet their makers yet.<br>
<br>
He turned to Yukan and Riku. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I know the traditional Kuridan rites of passing, so with your permissions.”</b></span> His voice was calm, yet tired. He hated this point, where the only thing he could do was to give someone a proper funeral. Using Religion B, he'd prepare a short yet proper funeral for the fallen, laying them to rest according to the traditional Kuridan ways, for as a Syncretist, it mattered not who's religion he followed, so long as it strived for the good in the world. All he'd need was Yukan and Riku's blessing, for he would not risk angering them due to being unordained in their specific faiths. <br>
<br>
His pace had slowed down, as they headed for the watchtower. Tired in both mind and body, afraid of what might lie ahead of them. Even so, with every step through this landscape, he regained some resolve. He couldn't leave this place to look like this. Having seen what'd happened to the Shrine of Cursed Cleanses, he was all the more driven to fight tooth and tail for this place as well. To cleanse the waves of darkness into waves of light. <br>
<br>
He tried to straighten his postures, as he noticed some people were staring at the tower. He couldn't see what they saw, but he had his suspicions. The one behind all of this corruption was there, wasn't she? He wondered, momentarily. What if he could cleanse her as well? Would he want too? After all that she'd done and caused... It lasted but a second, then the answer arose, yes. He'd want to do so. Anything that could be turned into a force for good was preferable over nothing at all, so he'd attempt to cleanse her, should he meet with her and find a way to do so. For now, however, he'd wait for Yukan's instructions. <br>

<br>
With the toad dead, the young man stood triumphant and very chilly in the cold breeze. He stood without a lick of shame as his hair danced in the gale, his stance, firm, his tail, wagging uncontrollably, his tighties, whities.  And he would have no shame as he walked towards the group once more, happy with his efforts of slaying the foe. <br>
<br>
"A tongue cut and claimed, it's spear was no more!" the pantsless swordsman continued his approach, his geta preventing most of the horrible ichor from getting on him. "i did say I am good! And the next shall be the witch's head! So i say." he flicks his blade, getting off the bloody refuse from the sword and sheathing it once more with a light electrified snap. Down to his undergarments, the man's form was of a career swordsman, strong wire-like muscles coiled beneath his skin, his body was hardened and showed plenty of scars and close cuts over the years but his general frame looked to be built not on sturdiness but speed.<br>
<br>
He was lean, and looked as if his body were a coiled spring. <br>
<br>
"...Has anyone spare clothes of which to cover me? We've fairer eyes and I don't want to make them shy when we've work yet to do." the man speaks up rather for the others than himself, even if he looked like he had no a lick of shame in his body over his...Forthriteness. <br>
<br>
his tail... never stopped wagging, he was quite confidant.</div>

Languages: Common | &lt;Beastial&gt;<br>​</div>Paru stood among the foot soldiers as the toad let out one final disgusting belching croak before it fell still. The terrain was still sickening everywhere but the fairy rings, but at least they could traverse it without the threat of the beast. She regrouped with the others at Yukan vantage point and looked over the group. A fair few number of soldiers had fallen, but the most of the force was intact. Including the shameless Mutt, she was pleased to see. She had lost track of him as she helped the struggling soldiers, but she hadn't been too worried. He seemed capable. She smirked at his bravado, and scoffed at his request for spare clothes. <span style="color: rgb(250, 250, 51)">"Pfft... You've no need to worry about my eyes, mutt. I'm not some delicate flower. I've spent plenty of evenings in the public baths after a day of hunting and drinki-... You meant the kid, didn't you?"</span><br>
<br>
<br>
Her jovial attitude died a bit, however, as she saw the hijiri, Ceylan, desperately digging through the mud, defeat on his face. She had seen that look before, on the faces of the new hunters in her village, who had never faced down a monster or rampaging beast. There was no shame it, everyone felt that way once. Even her. As he made his request to perform rites of passing, she approached him. <span style="color: rgb(250, 250, 51)">"&lt;I do not know much of religions outside my village, but we have a simple prayer we say to send off those we lose. Would it be alright if I joined you?&gt;"</span><br>
<br>
She followed in the middle of the group as they made their way toward the tower. On the edge of her vision she saw strange figures lurking, but when she looked, they seemed to be there. She did not like this. A sinister feeling stuck to the back of neck, making her on edge and discomforted. She had not experienced much of the outside world yet, but what she had, she did not like. What if this strange nature found it's way to her village? Would staying isolated prevent that from happening. She pondered these questions as they pushed on.</div>

 <br>
Yukan finally felt the stress of the situation start to die down, as his heart rate slowly but gradually decreased as the toad finally met it's incredibly violent end. Truthfully even after winning, Yukan wasn't exactly feeling too much better than Ceylan as someone who hadn't even seen such wide spread violence first hand. While Ceylan had the burden of being a healer who was wondering if he could have done more, Yukan had been entrusted to lead a significant portion of units, some of whom had met incredibly violent deaths. He was glad to see that Commander Riku had survived, and as far as he knew the healers they had,  survived too, truthfully Yukan wasn't sure what he would do if someone young like  Gyoubu had succumbed to the toad. It was all a bit ironic for Yukan to have this mindset as he was rather young himself. Sure it was one thing to learn about the history of wars where people died, it was another thing to go into training, they had held off against the undead horde together, but now there were those who would never return home after surviving the and now dying to the toad and that vile witch.<br>
<br>
Once the action had died down Yukan moved out to help who he could in the after math, as well as assess the extent of damage, of course overseeing many of these processes in part, probably giving instruction where needed.<br>
<br>
What was worse was as he saw Ceylan dig around, Yukan was left with a feeling of dread, he had tried his best to command, and there were the dead and injured, but what he knew as as bad as this had been, the only direction forward was very likely to result in more death and suffering of many people there with them who he knew ere noble and just. Of course some of them were more self serving and trying to just get ahead in their careers than actually caring about others, but even then Yukan would never wish such painful deaths on those who just simply had more of an individualistic mindset. All Yukan could do was hope that through their joint effort  they could minimize any more loss and defeat the white witch, surely she couldn't take on all of them, even if she was dangerous and had proved that thus far.<br>
<br>
For now Yukan would just try his best to put on a brave face, feeling like if he didn't keep his resolve it would surely shake the group moral as someone who had been put into a position of authority.<br>
<br>
To think all of this was because of one witch, and the fact that the requirements for this festival were so dangerous..that part he understood it was the [beast] way but the witch he could never forgive...<br>
<br>
He looked to Ceylan and then Riku when Ceylan asked if that was acceptable, as well as Paru who had come in,. <br>
<br>
"I don't have any objections on the matter at this moment." <br>
<br>
He said to Ceylan and Paru, his tone wasn't exactly warm either on it though and not having any objections wasn't exactly a wealth of supportive language, it was more neutral, perhaps even if he wasn't the most thrilled deep down with it being people who were foreign in that they didn't share Kuridan's main religion, he was letting them do it as a kindness for the fallen if anything, not particularly seeing an advantage to being so stringent in this case, of course if commander Riku had an issue with it he wasn't exactly in the mood to fight on it.<br>
<br>
"Thank you all for working so hard and risking your lives on the side of justice, your actions and sacrifices these days will have saved many more innocent lives." Yukan finally said with a small bow of gratitude as others had come out of the woodwork. Not really sure how else to best express his gratitude based on what happened.<br>
<br>
Yukan then assessed Ko who had come out much more calm, collected, and confident than others,  Unfortunately Yukan did not have an extra pair of clothing to hand to Ko, it seemed like Indicus had given into his more primal side during the fight which had worked to their advantage but he had no doubt that the dragonic man would need a rest after that display. <br>
He would also seek out  Gyoubu as well as the head of the scouts to see how they had fared, checking in with the command line, as it was a logical move.<br>
---<br>
<br>
Yukan would of course later rest up to the best of his ability when all was said and done, that had been an extreme event to get through and survive. <br>
<br>
Whenever the group did move out,<br>
Yukan gazed around the night with his passive  Dark Vision  skill allowing him to see with greater clarity as a Tanuki. It was likely he  and the command chain would have made sure that the group was moving in a more orderly regimented fashion  now that the whole terrain wasn't trying to kill them from that point forward like before as far as they could tell.<br>
Much like the undead event Yukan took a more central spot in the group so that he could get commands out easier to more people if need be.<br>
<br>
The tower they were approving  did not provide much comfort to say the least, since her evil presence was just so close.<br>
<br>
"Splitting up too far in an environment  like this could prove to be treacherous" he announced to the group at large. "While we have learned some of what the White Witch can do, its perfectly plausible she's learned about what we can do too..or that she's been holding some of her magic back in a case like this..as usual be wary of your environment, many of these strange unsettling sights are part of her illusion magic designed to make you distracted or  lose you resolve."<br>
<br>
After this general announcement, when the group could literally see the witch above, Yukan stopped in his tracks and tried his best to get a visual on her and make out what she was doing<br>
<br>
Yukan spoke next with <b>Follow the Leader <br>
<br>
"I'm making the call that we should wait, if we blindly go in there she could have a trap waiting for us, instead I want the scouts and others who have ranged capabilities to get into a preferable position to  preemptively  strike if need be, and keep a sightline on her, for all we know that's an illusion of herself she's created, at this moment we have no reason to expose ourselves by  blindly moving further into unknown terrain and her domain, we should gain more information  on situation first and observe before we commit to anything drastic, if she initiates  we can just as easily respond if we must. At this point I do think that we should spread out some at this point, Healers should position themselves to get maximum range over those of us here, as well as for us  to reduce the chance of her hitting many of us at once with one ability."</b> Yukan rationalized his reasoning out, that all of them rushing in could be incredibly dangerous, so they might as well take this time to strategically prepare.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Kai did a swipe with his blade and scattered the blood out in an arc, before sheathing the blade. Kai didn’t have any expression of celebration or joy. Nor did he express his part of the victory over the toad.  <br>
<br>
Kai would stay in his silent and stoic disposition, as he would take the Katana from the body of the toad, undoubtedly from a fallen warrior. <span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">“I’ll be taking this, find yer peace in the afterlife and rest, it’s us the living that still need to fight. If I get out of this, I’ll hand it to yer next of kin.”</span> Kai would say gently, as if talking to the spirit of the fallen, as he found the saya and sheathed the blade as well. <br>
<br>
Rather looking silently over to Ceylan, Kai wordlessly would help him dig up the bodies and help with the small burials. Kai gave his silent prayer to the Buddha, the Enma, and the god that brought him here. He wasn’t deeply religious, but with this much death he felt like he should have given his due to the dead. <br>
<br>
Kai would have his [ Sense ] still active as he would scan the area, alert and attentive as a raptor tracking it’s prey. Kai would look towards the illusion of the White Witch. Kai had no real connection or hate towards the witch, but that was the enemy of these people, as he had just bleed and melted with the tainted blood. The Yakuza hobo just followed the group wordlessly.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">The Last Rites<br>
<br>
 <br>
As the last anguished cry of the Diseased Hill Toad reverberated through the damp air, the silence that followed was suffocating. The once fertile ground now bore the stains of battle, with mud mingling with blood, and the caustic stench of the creature’s remains hanging heavy.<br>
<br>
The survivors, covered in mud, blood, and sweat, stood in the eerie stillness. Their expressions were a mix of triumph, relief, exhaustion, and despair. Ceylan, the group's healer, worked tirelessly, his hands surrounded by a soft glow as he tended to the fallen. Resurrection spells were cast upon the lifeless bodies, and where limbs were mangled or crushed, restorative magic did its best to mend.<br>
<br>
However, not all could be brought back. Several brave souls had been devoured whole by the monstrous toad, their bodies forever lost within its grotesque belly. Others were so grievously wounded that their forms could not be restored, and the magic faltered as their spirits departed this realm.<br>
<br>
The survivors gathered in small clusters, the weight of their losses pressing down upon them. Faces that had minutes ago been twisted in determination were now lined with sorrow. The cries of the wounded, the whimpering of the frightened boars, and the whispers of the wind through the trees created a dirge that spoke of loss and sacrifice.<br>
<br>
He'd let his healing magic go on for a bit longer, desperately seeing if he could resurrect some people. He'd even go through the ungrateful task of trying to find lost limbs, for whilst he couldn't regrow them, he could re-attach them with his magic. Perhaps he was a [Fetcher] through and through, as he searched around muds for arms and legs the toad might've dropped and for the people they belonged too. Any life resurrected, person healed, limb reattached, was an ever so slight decrease of the overwhelming feeling of failure and sadness that'd arose within him.<br>
<br>
Tail and ears drooped, drenched in mud and gods know what else, he knew they'd beaten the Hill Toad, yet he still felt defeated. The reality of these 'unclean' and 'imperfect' victories was different in practice than on paper, no matter how one looked at it. He'd seen death before, sure, a lot of it, but not like this. Not the desperate fighting, continuous torture from poison, the sight of contorted bodies with faces that clearly weren't ready to meet their makers yet.<br>
<br>
He turned to Yukan and Riku. “I know the traditional Kuridan rites of passing, so with your permissions.” His voice was calm, yet tired. He hated this point, where the only thing he could do was to give someone a proper funeral. Using Religion B, he'd prepare a short yet proper funeral for the fallen, laying them to rest according to the traditional Kuridan ways, for as a Syncretist, it mattered not who's religion he followed, so long as it strived for the good in the world. All he'd need was Yukan and Riku's blessing, for he would not risk angering them due to being unordained in their specific faiths.<br>
<br>
Ceylan, his body covered in muck and his spirit heavy, toiled ceaselessly among the fallen. Many others joined in as their minds regained a hold on their bodies and the traumas they'd faced. Shrine Maiden, Yumeko, whose presence was a calming contrast to the battle-hardened warriors. Her faded indigo robe was a stark difference to the intimidating armors, and her soothing green eyes held a wisdom that came from years of healing and nurturing. Tired beyond measure, Yumeko joined Ceylan without offering up any words. Gyoubu, the tanuki Shrine Maiden, was a figure of ever-shifting moods and expressions, her's now was the cold depression of winter. Her face hard and her eyes chilly. With her short hair slicked back from the mud, she looked feral and wild, more a dryad than a druid. Each healer's magic ebbed and flowed around them, joining like a river of light.<br>
<br>
Others joined in the search. Paru's jovial attitude died a bit; however, as she saw the hijiri, Ceylan, desperately digging through the mud, defeat on his face. She had seen that look before, on the faces of the new hunters in her village, who had never faced down a monster or rampaging beast. There was no shame it, everyone felt that way once. Even her. As he made his request to perform rites of passing, she approached him. "&lt;I do not much of religions outside my village, but we have a simple prayer we say to send off those we lose. Would it be alright if I joined you?&gt;"<br>
<br>
A trickle of people became a flood as everyone followed Ceylan's lead. Indicus still covered in mud and the putrid gore of the toad as well as no shortage of his own blood. Indicus trudged up to the group as he did he noticed the bodies of the dead being gathered by the soldiers and silently wished them favorable judgement from whatever god they worshiped. Rather looking silently over to Ceylan, Kai wordlessly would help him dig up the bodies and help with the small burials. Kai gave his silent prayer to the Buddha, the Enma, and the god that brought him here. He wasn’t deeply religious, but with this much death he felt like he should have given his due to the dead.<br>
<br>
His tail and ears were drooped, soaked with rain and mud. The sheer intensity of the sorrow enveloping him was overwhelming. He had seen death before, but the torment and struggle in the expressions of the fallen tore at his very soul.<br>
<br>
As Yukan walked among the warriors, Ceylan approached him and Riku. His voice was steady, but exhaustion and sorrow lined his words. “I know the traditional Kuridan rites of passing, so with your permissions,” he spoke, his eyes conveying the depth of his resolve. Yumeko nodded when Riku looked to her, and Gyoubu followed suite when Yukan did the same.<br>
<br>
Yukan looked to Ceylan and then Riku when Ceylan asked if that was acceptable, as well as Paru who had come in. "I don't have any objections on the matter at this moment." Yukan and Riku, both solemn and worn, exchanged a glance and gave a nod of approval. Ceylan's abilities and dedication had proven invaluable, and there was no one more fitting to honor the fallen.<br>
<br>
With care and reverence, Ceylan began the traditional Kuridan rites of passing. Paru, Gyoubu, and Yumeko joined in. The scent of sacred herbs wafted through the air as he chanted, his voice becoming a vessel for the spirits. His movements were graceful and fluid as he laid the fallen to rest, their faces now serene in eternal slumber. Ceylan’s mastery of religious rites, cultivated through his syncretic faith, allowed him to perform the ritual with an authenticity and reverence that resonated with the survivors.<br>
<br>
As he finished the ceremony, Ceylan stepped back. His countenance was calm, but his eyes betrayed the heaviness he felt. He looked at Yukan and Riku and gave a slight bow, a gesture of respect for their fallen comrades.<br>
<br>
It was then that Yukan stepped forward, his figure standing tall against the backdrop of the stormy sky. He began to speak, his voice a beacon for the weary survivors as they gathered in the solemn embrace of the forest, listening to words of honor, memory, and resolve. "Thank you all for working so hard and risking your lives on the side of justice, your actions and sacrifices these days will have saved many more innocent lives." Yukan finally said with a small bow of gratitude as others had come out of the woodwork. Not really sure how else to best express his gratitude based on what happened.<br>
<br>
Yukan then assessed Ko who had come out much more calm, collected, and confident than others, Unfortunately Yukan did not have an extra pair of clothing to hand to Ko, it seemed like Indicus had given into his more primal side during the fight which had worked to their advantage but he had no doubt that the dragonic man would need a rest after that display.<br>
He would also seek out Gyoubu as well as the head of the scouts to see how they had fared, checking in with the command line, as it was a logical move.<br>
<br>
Ko was lean, and looked as if his body were a coiled spring. "...Has anyone spare clothes of which to cover me? We've fairer eyes and I don't want to make them shy when we've work yet to do." The man speaks up rather for the others than himself, even if he looked like he had no a lick of shame in his body over his...Forthriteness. His tail never stopped wagging, he was quite confidant.<br>
<br>
On of the Tengu Shadow assassins appeared, it's glossy black feathers gleamed in the moonlight. It bowed before Ko, producing a black kimono and hakama [Light Armor F]. "I would be honored for someone so adapt at death to wear these. Your stroke was perfect. Your blade a source of truth." The Tengu bowed.<br>
<br>
Whiteclaw nodded. "Well done, Ko. A tongue cut and claimed, truly. This Hill Toad was a prince amongst it's kind, I've not seen one so big in years."<br>
<br>
Kai would stay in his silent and stoic disposition, as he would take the Katana from the body of the toad, undoubtedly from a fallen warrior. “I’ll be taking this, find yer peace in the afterlife and rest, it’s us the living that still need to fight. If I get out of this, I’ll hand it to yer next of kin.” Kai would say gently, as if talking to the spirit of the fallen, as he found the saya and sheathed the blade as well.<br>
<br>
Riku grunted, "Take it as payment for services rendered."</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Journey Onward. <br>
<br>
As the hunters cautiously approached the watchtower, the atmosphere around them shifted ominously. The air grew thick with an unnatural energy, and the land seemed to twist and bend in ways that defied reality. Shadows danced in the corners of their eyes, and the trees seemed to whisper ancient secrets. The illusions that shrouded the domain around the watchtower were akin to the work of a twisted artist; it was as though they had stumbled into one of Escher’s paintings where the impossible seemed real, and the landscape defied the laws of physics.<br>
<br>
The figure of the White Witch atop the watchtower seemed ethereal and ghostly in the distance. Her movements were fluid and unnaturally graceful, and she seemed to both beckon them and warn them away with her presence.<br>
<br>
Yukan’s voice cut through the eerie silence. He calmly outlined his plan, emphasizing caution and strategy over reckless action. As Yukan spoke, Kai kept his senses alert, scanning the area with the intensity of a predator. Ceylan, on the other hand, looked thoughtful, considering the possibility of cleansing the corruption even from the White Witch herself.<br>
<br>
Riku, astride his dire boar, glanced toward the watchtower. His sharp gaze surveyed the distorted landscape. “Yukan’s right,” Riku grumbled, his voice gravelly. “We mustn’t rush blindly. I’ll take my remaining boar riders to the flanks. We’ll keep an eye on the surroundings. If anything tries to outflank us, it’ll have to go through boar tusks first.”<br>
<br>
Whiteclaw, the lithe birdkin, gracefully alighted beside Yukan. His feathers ruffled in the strange breeze. “The winds speak of deception and danger,” Whiteclaw’s voice was melodic, yet tinged with caution. “My scouts will take to the trees. Our eyes in the sky will keep watch. If there’s a trap, we’ll spot it.”<br>
<br>
Then, the two shrine maidens, Yumeko and Gyoubu, moved forward. Yumeko’s eyes were serene, while Gyoubu’s expression was intense. They both held small talismans. “We shall call upon the spirits to guard us,” Yumeko spoke in a gentle voice. “And pierce through illusions,” added Gyoubu with determination.<br>
<br>
The hunters began to move into position as Riku led the boar riders to the flanks, Whiteclaw and his scouts ascended to the treetops, and Yumeko and Gyoubu began chanting, their voices melding with the whispering wind. The scene was a symphony of controlled chaos and determination as they prepared to face the unknown dangers that lurked around the watchtower.<br>
<br>
------<br>
<br>
As the hunters stood their ground amidst the gnarled and twisted landscape, the air around them suddenly changed. The once oppressive atmosphere became strangely warm and inviting, as the tantalizing scent of fresh scones and tea pervaded the air. A spectral figure materialized before them. It was the White Witch, but different from what they had expected; she appeared regal and elegant, clad in flowing robes, her voice as enchanting as a gentle breeze.<br>
<br>
"Greetings, brave travelers. How weary you must be," she said, her voice resonating with a sense of deep understanding. “Do you not long for a brief respite? For a moment of peace amidst the chaos?”<br>
<br>
The spectral figure’s voice was filled with an alluring, almost comforting tone, as she gestured to a floating silver platter with scones and a teapot. “Do you not yearn for the simple pleasures of tea and scones, for a reminder of what it feels like to be safe and cherished?” Her hair was a wild, shock of white. Her image was adorned with a headdress shaped like a river of moonlight, and her eyes twinkled like stars in the night sky. "I invite you all to join me atop the tower for tea and scones," she said, gesturing with a delicate hand. The scent wafting from them was real and tantalizing. "I am not particularly fond of drinking, but I have sake and berries, should you prefer," she continued with a wink and hint of whimsy in her voice.<br>
<br>
Whiteclaw's eyes narrowed. Riku’s dire boar snorted, and the shrine maidens, Yumeko and Gyoubu, clutched their talismans tighter.<br>
<br>
Suddenly, the White Witch's form flowed like water and changed. She became imposing, towering over them, her voice now like rolling thunder. The sky above darkened and stars seemed to fall towards the earth.<br>
<br>
“Or is it the thrill of battle that you seek?” she boomed, her voice echoing throughout the twisted forest. Her eyes falling upon those like Ko and Idicus, filled with battle lust and a desire for more blood. The sky above darkened as an ethereal, celestial power emanated from her. The falling stars grew brighter, while an array of beams of lunar light descended from the sky.<br>
<br>
“Then prepare for the heavens to rain down upon you!” she boomed, her voice now thunderous and echoing through the air. The night sky was suddenly alive with falling stars, descending like radiant comets towards the earth. "[Starfall]!" she proclaimed as the waves of falling stars began to converge over 40 yards around the group.<br>
<br>
Whiteclaw shouted a warning, and the hunters started scattering, trying to avoid the falling stars. Meanwhile, Riku, still atop his dire boar, rallied his boar riders and charged forward.<br>
<br>
The White Witch, not finished with her display, raised her hands and chanted, "[Moonfire]!". Beams of pure, silver light descended, casting an eerie glow upon the twisted landscape as they targeted the hunters. Each shaft strike line a blinding, white lightsaber falling from the moon to the ground. <br>
<br>
But something was amiss. As a falling star approached Whiteclaw, it passed through him without harm. It was an illusion, as were the beams of light.<br>
<br>
The White Witch's voice softened to a whisper, “What drives you forward in this twisted realm? Is it valor, honor, or something more?” Her image flickered like a mirage, “What are you willing to sacrifice, and what, in the end, will you have gained?”<br>
<br>
The monologue seemed to weigh on some of the hunters, with the surreal illusions dancing around them. Each was confronted with the choice of pressing forward through the labyrinthine landscape towards the watchtower or allowing doubt and fear to hold them back.<br>
<br>
The White Witch's image faded with a final whisper, “Will you find what you seek?”<br>
<br>
The illusions of falling stars and moonfire continued to dissipate around them, the twisted path ahead beckoning them onward.</div>

<br>
Draped in the blaskest night, Ko had gone from a laughing stock to a figure of death. A being of destruction that harvested soul from body, traversing the battlefield to reap what it is owed. <br>
<br>
He cut a spitting haunting figure of a Shinigami. <br>
<br>
A death god. <br>
<br>
A kami who cut warriors, drunkards, fools and wisemen alike. <br>
<br>
But from it all, from all of the play of illusion and danger given off by the white there was but one thing that the man could say. Drapped in his black robes, the young man roughly pulled down the mask that covered his body and proudly spoke with insignant pride and anger only the firey spirited could possess.<br>
<br>
"The fuck is a scone?" <br>
<br>
So sayeth the shinigami.</div>

Yukan was glad to see that most of the people so far had heeded his words. Riku appeared to be in agreement, and was making a call which was certainly beneficial. Yumeko and Gyoubu were using the tailsmen which would hopefully have the desired effect against whatever kind of corruption this area had been heavily saturated with. It was practically oppressive to Yukan. With the scouts watching from over there ready to strike from the trees, Yukan felt more comfortable moving in if need be. Even if extreme caution needed to be taken.<br>
<br>
What Yukan hadn't really been expecting was the whimsy from the witch as she suddenly spoke up as if she was merely inviting them over for some social hour. This only raised many more questions than Yukan had originally as to why she was acting this way. Was she just toying with them? Was there some greater evil that was using her as some vessel? Who really knew at this point, of course Yukan was immediately alarmed when it shifted as it looked like she grew larger and all these large magical attacks were coming there way, out of instinct Yukan tried to get out of the way of the one that looked like it was closest to him, until he realized that they weren't actually striking, why would this witch use this sort of illusion magic instead of attacking them directly? Surely she had some sort of magical offensive power she could unleash and harm all of them like he presumed she had done to those innocent people.<br>
<br>
To Yukan something wasn't feeling quite right to him, like there was a piece of the puzzle missing when things had calmed down; they had felt so fast he hadn't even had a moment to bark out orders for people to respond to the illusion spree the witch had gone on.<br>
Seeing Indicus move forward was arguably alarming since he wasn't even waiting to see what the rest of the group did, but they were all already in a much better position for now he'd just call out, "Be careful Indicus you know what she's capable of." Yukan warned sternly, but he did not call him back, if the dragon wanted to engage her then he wasn't about to command someone who wasn't directly under him to come back. Even if he wanted Indicus too, Indicus was not under him in any official capacity. However instead of giving the orders for an assault Yukan stood steady, a look of determination in his eyes as he walked forward closer as the maidens with their protections did.<br>
<br>
"It is true that we came here for battle For what you have committed in Kuridan is a great evil against the defenseless and  innocent, and it must cease." Yukan spoke out to the White Witch. "But before we engage in a battle, I must know why. Why did you do what you did? why would you harm so many in such a violent way?"<br>
<br>
Yukan continued sternly, "Why did you use Sawazuki for your twisted activity?, or attack the Masanori Clan?"<br>
<br>
"Even now you bring me more questions..why do you not strike us down where we stand..You know why we are here..You put on a great all powerful show..but something tells me that all isn't what it seems.." Yukan just had a feeling, while it could be wrong that perhaps there was something more foul at play..indeed he was also well aware that she could just be playing mind games with them.<br>
<br>
"Are you, under the influence of..something greater, White Witch?..Has this great corruption taken you?"<br>
 <br>
He asked, knowing there was just as much chance of her not saying anything..but even so, he wanted to know what was going on it just didn't sit right with him that she hadn't tried to kill them all immediately when they showed up with the powerful magic  attacks she just showed unless she wasn't actually capable of them and she was using her illusions to compensate.<br>
<br>
Just maybe, there was a possibility that she wasn't even in control with this much corruption and miasma..if there was even the smallest possible chance this was the case, he didn't want to try to mow her down just yet.</div>

<br>
A weak, yet genuine smile formed upon his lips as Paru suddenly asked him if she could offer a prayer. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Of course.”</b></span> He doubted anyone would mind a simple prayer, regardless of whether they worshipped the exact same gods or not. <br>
<br>
When Kai silently started to help him, he'd give a small nod of recognition towards, and gratitude for, his efforts. Somehow, sharing this burden with others made it ever so slightly more bearable. <br>
<br>
Yukan's way of granting permission was odd, to say the least. What even did 'at this moment' mean? This wasn't exactly the type of thing one could change their mind on. These soldiers would get their passing rites only once, a thing that couldn't be redone later. Still, he decided not to think too much upon it. Perhaps Yukan was simply a little out of it as well, having lost so many of the soldiers entrusted to him.<br>
<br>
Another bit of comfort, ever so small yet present, was that he noticed he wasn't the only one facing this hardship the way he did. Even the veterans, Yumeko and Gyoubu, were clearly burdened by the death toll. It provided an ever so slight bit of relief. This wasn't something he was supposed to grow used to, this was something he could feel terrible about, so long as he'd find a way to press on afterwards.<br>
<br>
When the ceremony was done, a burden was lifted from him. He might have failed them in life, but at least, he'd been able to offer them proper closure in death. It was not the desired outcome, but one that he might find peace with, eventually, perhaps. <br>
<br>
Although he was weary and tired, he'd nod at Yukan's command. It was the same as before, spreading out to cover as many people as possible. He could do that, at least, if nothing else.<br>
<br>
He was shocked when, all of a sudden, the White Witch was right there. Her illusions and magic playing with their minds and senses like it was nothing. As she spoke to them, he tried using his Sixth Sense [Malicious magic/curses] D to see if it would reveal more of her true nature. After all, the landscape it self was enough to show them all that this being was not the type to have tea with.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I merely seek to cleanse this place.”</b></span> He spoke. He wanted neither battle nor comfort. He wished for this place to be made good again. Oddly enough, the falling stars didn't impress him as much as they probably should. Perhaps due to a lack of how strongly the maliciousness was in the magic used or perhaps simply due to him being too tired to care about being blown up by a falling star...<br>
<br>
He didn't like the way she invited them. It was clear that she was ready for them. Yet they were beyond the both of no-return. They had to face off against her. <br>
<br>
Still, Ceylan was surprised when even Yukan questioned her in a way that suggested a willingness to cleanse, rather than kill. Was the warlord far more forgiving than he gave him credit for? Ceylan wasn't sure, but awoke a slight bit of optimism. Perhaps, even this vilest of evils, could be cleansed. That said, they'd probably need all the help they could get. Especially after part of their army had fallen. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Once more, I call upon thy aid.”</b></span> He spoke, followed by a prayer and [Summon Celestial E]. He wondered. Would the heaven's answer him, here, at the heart of this White Witch's corruption? His ties to the divine realms were strong, as a Scribe of Celestials, Holy Child and Wandering Saint. Yet it was clear that the White Witch's corruption ran thick. He wondered which was stronger.<br>

Indicus paused for a moment when Yukan called out to him before turning his head and nodding. "I know Yukan, thanks for the concern maybe after all this I might stay for awhile if you are willing to employ me after the current job is finished." With that said Indicus continued onwards at a light jog.</div>

Languages: Common | &lt;Beastial&gt;<br>​</div>Paru noticed a change come over Ko as they walked. He seemed more pensive, more reserved. She wondered if the death toll had gotten to him. She didn't know how long he had been with this group, maybe a good friend was lost. She wondered if she should feel worse. She was not unfamiliar with losing friends, trainees, drinking partners. Maybe Ko wasn't the brash fool she had thought this whole time. Maybe he deserved a second look.<br>
<br>
As the stars and moonlight began to fall at the witches behest, Paru began to dodge and manuever with the others, until it was revealed to be an illusion. She stood by and listened to Yukan address the woman, waiting to see what move they were going to make. As she waited, a voice cut through the rest of the sounds.<br>
<br>
"The fuck is a scone?"<br>
<br>
She smirked and had to stifle a laugh. No, the mutt was exactly who she thought he was.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">"It is true that we came here for battle For what you have committed in Kuridan is a great evil against the defenseless and innocent, and it must cease." Yukan spoke out to the White Witch. "But before we engage in a battle, I must know why. Why did you do what you did? why would you harm so many in such a violent way?"<br>
<br>
Yukan continued sternly, "Why did you use Sawazuki for your twisted activity?, or attack the Masanori Clan?"<br>
<br>
As Yukan's voice resonated through the twisted air, the illusionary avatar of the White Witch seemed to ripple and react to his words. Her projected form, which was massive and terrifying, now shrouded in darkness with tendrils of mist swirling around her, turned her piercing gaze upon him.<br>
<br>
"You wish to know why?" The voice of the White Witch echoed, deep and haunting. "The tapestry of motives is woven with threads of despair, vengeance, and power, yet you wish not to see even a reflection of it."<br>
<br>
The White Witch's avatar raised an arm, and ghostly images appeared in the air, showing a young tanuki women with a kind face in race paddies, looking content with her simple life. Above her as night fell a large full moon looked over the young tanuki women and her family. <br>
<br>
"Once, I was but a simple guardian, protecting and watching the world and its inhabitants," her voice, tinged with nostalgia, enveloped the group.<br>
<br>
The scene shifted to show the same woman, but this time the women's rice was being ceized and her house cast aflame when they questioned the act, her kin fallen to yari and sword. She was on her knees, her face twisted in pain and sorrow. "The Masanori Clan takes what they want as if it was their right. They trample on what is sacred, and in their arrogance, they have left a wound in your clan. What you would call harm was but a reflection of what has been going on. And you rush to their aid, averting your eyes from the source of the reflection as if the sun didn't exist!" <br>
<br>
Yukan seeing Indicus move forward was arguably alarming since he wasn't even waiting to see what the rest of the group did, but they were all already in a much better position for now he'd just call out, "Be careful Indicus you know what she's capable of."<br>
<br>
Indicus paused for a moment when Yukan called out to him before turning his head and nodding. "I know Yukan, thanks for the concern maybe after all this I might stay for awhile if you are willing to employ me after the current job is finished." With that said Indicus continued onwards at a light jog.<br>
<br>
She laughed, turning to look at Indicus. "Honestly brother, I'm quite disappointed in who you've choosen to accompany you."<br>
<br>
"Sawazuki's fate is most amusing and a true reflection of the plight of so many tanuki in your clan. Something terrible happened to her, she was blamed and shamed for worse, and even her componensation for assisting me was consfucated. I might as well ask you the same question, mhmmm?"<br>
<br>
"Even now you bring me more questions..why do you not strike us down where we stand..You know why we are here..You put on a great all powerful show..but something tells me that all isn't what it seems.." Yukan just had a feeling, while it could be wrong that perhaps there was something more foul at play..indeed he was also well aware that she could just be playing mind games with them.<br>
<br>
"Oh yes, I have a the height advantage and range. Killing you would be quite easy, but that isn't necessary. The true villian has presented themselves and you have felt the heavy hand of their perversion many times now, haen't you?"<br>
<br>
As she spoke to them, Ceylan tried using his Sixth Sense [Malicious magic/curses] D to see if it would reveal more of her true nature. After all, the landscape it self was enough to show them all that this being was not the type to have tea with.<br>
<br>


<div class="bbCodeSpoiler">
	<button type="button" class="bbCodeSpoiler-button button--longText button" data-xf-click="toggle" data-xf-init="tooltip" data-original-title="Click to reveal or hide spoiler" id="js-XFUniqueId72"><span class="button-text">

			<div class="bbCodeBlock-content">Ceylan looks upon the contrails of magic forming the illusion and indeed up towards the second story of the watch tower at the White Witch herself. He can see no malice or curse upon her. She is white the reflection of golden solar light turned lunar white.</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div><br>
Ceylan spoke, “I merely seek to cleanse this place.” He wanted neither battle nor comfort. He wished for this place to be made good again. Oddly enough, the falling stars didn't impress him as much as they probably should. Perhaps due to a lack of how strongly the maliciousness was in the magic used or perhaps simply due to him being too tired to care about being blown up by a falling star.<br>
<br>
Yukan joined in, "Are you, under the influence of..something greater, White Witch?..Has this great corruption taken you?"<br>
<br>
But from it all, from all of the play of illusion and danger given off by the white there was but one thing that the man could say. Drapped in his black robes, the young man roughly pulled down the mask that covered his body and proudly spoke with insignant pride and anger only the firey spirited could possess. "The fuck is a scone?" So sayeth the shinigami.<br>
<br>
Paru smirked and had to stifle a laugh. No, the mutt was exactly who she thought he was.<br>
<br>
“Once more, I call upon thy aid.” Ceylan spoke, followed by a prayer and [Summon Celestial E]. He wondered. Would the heaven's answer him, here, at the heart of this White Witch's corruption? His ties to the divine realms were strong, as a Scribe of Celestials, Holy Child and Wandering Saint. Yet it was clear that the White Witch's corruption ran thick. He wondered which was stronger.<br>
<br>
A celestial light enveloped Ceylan as he called upon the heavens. Suddenly, the twisted domain around them shimmered and the atmosphere began to clear as a divine figure descended. It was a majestic celestial being, with wings that seemed to be woven from light, and eyes that held the wisdom of ages. The creature’s presence countered the twisted illusions, casting them away as if banishing shadows.<br>
<br>
The hunters watched in awe as Ceylan’s summon manifested, providing a stark contrast to the White Witch’s illusions.<br>
<br>
The avatar of the White Witch watched the celestial being with keen interest. "Ah, such a thing you call purity," she whispered. Her tone; however, did not betray any fear or concern. She was still exuding confidence.<br>
<br>
Ko, the young pup-man who had brazenly questioned what a scone was, stood there defiantly, his question still hanging in the air.<br>
<br>
The White Witch’s avatar finally addressed Yukan and Ceylan. “You asked if I am under the influence of something greater. It's walked amongst you this entire time. You've embraced it as a trusted companion. The corruption, as you call it, is not mine but yours such are my powers. You stand here, in the heart of what has been shaped and still don't even know to ask the right questions. Do you think the celestial light can cleanse the depths? Should it? Come then, I shall show you the answer to the questions you should have asked.”<br>
<br>
She then turned to Ko. “And to answer your question, a scone is a delightful baked good, often enjoyed with tea. But that is not the answer you seek. You, young one, have the audacity to cut through the layers of illusion and pretense. You seek more.”<br>
<br>
As she spoke, the avatar began to retreat slowly, her image receding into the mists.<br>
<br>
“I invite you to face the truth of my existence. Ascend the tower, if you will. You won't find what you seek but upon reflection you may come closer to the light.”<br>
<br>
With a final gust of wind, the avatar of the White Witch vanished into the mist. The illusions around the tower began to clear, and the twisted atmosphere waned.<br>
<br>
They had been invited, and they had questions. Whether it would end in battle or understanding was unknown. But they had taken the first step.</div>

"Honestly brother, I'm quite disappointed in who you've chosen to accompany you." These words caught Indicus' attention and as he listened he found the white witches choice of words to be curious she alluded to being at odds with the Masonori clan while saying the corruption was among them. He knew she was trying to tell them something but even with all the pieces he could only understand and guess at parts. Perhaps  with more context granted by going through the tower he might learn more. The word brother still bounced around his head like a mantra and her disappointment elicited an odd sense of shame.<br>
<br>
Indicus turned to Yukan. "Not everyone will be able to fit in the tower besides an army may not even be of use if we fight might be best to leave all but a small team here to wait." Once more Indicus decided to proceed at a slow walk, unconcerned if Yukan heeded his advice.</div>

"...hrmm.. that almost feels like an invitation..." she did offer.. so... perhaps he should reach this tower and climb it as stated... or... maybe he should take a breather and go elsewhere...? No... he had a job to finish, and it was his job to finish it. He started his battle against this corruption, he but finish it according to what it required of him. He had a job now, he must see it through to be paid for his work...<br>
<br>
...<br>
<br>
.......<br>
<br>
What was he being paid now that he thought of it. He just got free clothes so... that was nice... but the only one thus far who had offered him tea was this White witch so.. perhaps he should take up this offer, see what she needs done and go from there...? <br>
<br>
He was no backstabber, but he didn't have the explicit order to slay her... So...<br>
<br>
"Yukan, I shall be going to treat with this White Witch, as was offered so i shall procede to speaking with her. If she is dishonorable I shall know it and cut her down. if not, i shall learn how scones taste." he had spilt one of his reasons for going as easily as one might consider speaking about the weather, or how HE might speak of killing. "If she is a foe, her tea will be subpar and ill conceived, no good hand can make good tea. it is a art distinct from morality, but the guilty hand good tea cannot make." he was.. rambling about something again, but he certainly looked intense as he did so... <br>
<br>
"...And she spoke as if I were to be needed, perhaps the sword that unveils truth shall be required... For weal or woe." why was he suddenly speaking like this... maybe it was the familiar scent of Tengu that made him speak abit like his master... He was an old timey type of crow, even as unageing as sh- He. He Ko don't forget that, last you called him and her you got beaten to near death... <br>
<br>
You do wish he wore clothes that made the distinction easier to parse but... When you are a master, what you say goes... <br>
<br>
"...A truth will be awaiting me, i think... Why, perhaps the source is a demon sword of some sort."</div>

 <br>
Yukan glad that Indicus had been receptive to his words rather than upset by them or anything of the like. He actually sounded like he might want to work for Yukan in the near future  which was certainly a benefit for the plans that Yukan had, since they were likely going to extent beyond just getting more military experience. Yukan genuinely needed to raise more wealth and prestige if he wanted to get anywhere with his plans. He needed to build respect. Perhaps Indicus would be interested in helping his goals become a reality if he paid him for  additional protection, after all Indicus had no qualms being hired out prior so why under Yukan should  it matter? Plus he already had a proven track record of reacting well, and fighting well, he could tell he was only going to get stronger with time..yes that was something to consider, as he gave a respectful nod Indicus's way, as to signify they'd discuss it  more later.<br>
<br>
Ceylan saying that he wanted to cleanse the place was reassuring on that front, perhaps they needn't resort to more death on both sides if it would be an effective method..nevertheless, and it wasn't before long he  went to summon another celestial, which descended, it was all quite majestic, angelic like as Yukan was awed again. Even if Ceylan was of a different sect and faith it was hard to deny that he had a very strong connection with what was divine which impressed Yukan. Perhaps Yukan was being a bit hasty to feel judgmental against what was different  to his own familiar religious customs..There would time to discuss that later he supposed, it wasn't lost on him that Ceylan had been working very hard along side them and must have been tired at that point..so it was all rather admirable he marched onward with them.<br>
---<br>
Yukan listened carefully to the White Witch's response. She still spoke cryptically to an extent not giving as full specifics as he would have liked.<br>
While Yukan did notice Paru and Ko's interaction regarding the Scone initially he didn't react too much to it, he had heard  of scones before but had never actually had or seen one in person.<br>
The tapestry comment sounded like something which was sort of archetypal for the witch sort that Yukan imagined, someone who  harbored so many negative emotions lashing out,  that didn't exactly prove well of her being forced to act under duress..unless those were the justifications of feelings to act of whatever she was speaking of<br>
<br>
Yukan watched the vision attentively after the witch spoke of once being a guardian and she showed the scene before them using her illusion magic no doubt. It was the sort of scene which Yukan heard  of again and again, this was precisely the reason why Yukan was here, to prevent the innocent from being targeted and devastated in the way which the the witch showed. It didn't take him too long to figure out that she was antagonizing the Masanori clan for some reason, whether or not this was true was up to anyone's guess but given how the clans had a history of independent action in the past who knew how long ago this took place if it did?<br>
<br>
Her words responding to his question about Sawazuki were not satisfying either, only getting limited information out of the whole thing..<br>
<br>
What did ring true to him was when she said that killing them would be easy but it was not necessary..when she said the true villain had presented themselves, and then said that she was disappointed in the company which Indicus had.. Yukan's brow furrowed in thought.<br>
<br>
What did she mean wrong questions? What did she mean it was with them all along? Was she trying to sew discontent and mistrust?<br>
<br>
When Yukan started it string it all together..her disapproval of Indicus's chosen company, her vision showing the Masanori clan violating her and the people, Among them all along..was..there someone in the Masanori clan she was trying to implicate for all of this? Even if she was trying to say that..how could he know if it was true?<br>
<br>
During the Scone segment, Yukan didn't react too much, while he had heard Ko and Paru's response earlier there wasn't a need to be reactive, as the White Witch surprisingly identified what it was.<br>
<br>
Then there was her bid..an invitation to enter the tower and find out what she knew. Yukan felt the only way to truly end this corruption was to learn what she had to say..something was not all what it seemed or she could be trying to deceive all of them..but if they wanted to get to the bottom of it playing along was essential..<br>
<br>
Yukan gave another nod to Indicus's comment after the white witch disappeared, and he looked around to everyone who was with them before tapping into his ability <b>To Arms! </b>to give the game plan.<br>
<br>
"Indicus is correct, With the way the tower is situated it is doubtful we could bring many in for close quarters with it being effective, and even then since it is I who insisted we pursued this Witch,  I will not be insisting any of you risk your lives further if you do not wish too...I believe the scouts should keep their current position during this ordeal, incase ranged support  from outside is needed, a small team entering will serve our purpose best, it is the way forward to our objective."<br>
<br>
"With this Said, Whiteclaw you may join the tower climbing party  if you wish." Having a strong ranged combatant would be useful in the ascent as well.<br>
<br>
Yukan turned to Ko as he spoke to him. "Very well, I was hoping that you'd be willing to come, You have proven to be most effective in combating this corruption, so I am glad to hear you wish to seek the truth as i do." The way Ko phrased it was most interesting..as if he was taking her up on her offer, no matter the fact that he was there would be good.<br>
<br>
"I myself will be going along as Indicus as yourself is then."<br>
<br>
Yukan then turned to Ceylan, once again trying his best to keep a respectful tone, and posture. "Ceylan, you have been essential in cleansing this corruption so far, and I know that you  must have exerted yourself quite a bit  from how much you have done already, but If we wish to truly cleanse this corruption, I would ask that you accompany Indicus, Ko and myself.."<br>
<br>
He then looked to Riku, wondering if he himself or if anyone under him would wish to come as well, before looking back. <br>
<br>
"As for the rest of you who have followed me, if you feel that it is your calling  you may move forward with us"<br>
<br>
Yukan was careful not to order anyone who wasn't under him directly but ask politely. <br>
---<br>
At that time when it was decided who was coming Yukan would step forward in the way that Indicus had and Ko was getting ready to and would make his way to enter and ultimately ascend the tower.<br>

Just like how Yukan let him deal with his foe Kai would do the same, though that didn’t mean Kai would up and leave at the first situation. Kai simply gave a nod as he walked with Yukan’s group.

<s>S</s>He wasn't sure what to make of the White Witches' words. At times like these, it was somewhat comforting to embrace the simplicity at the core of his religion. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“To fight evil with evil only brings forth more evil. It's the strength to face it whilst remaining good that's needed to end the cycle.”</b></span> Truthfully, he put only some (persuasion F) strength behind his words, for he felt like she wouldn't be susceptible to them to begin with.<br>
<br>
Truthfully, he was surprised to see no malice or curse upon her. Were his senses not strong enough, or did the source of this lie elsewhere? He wasn't sure. <br>
<br>
He rejoiced when his summons were answered once more. It'd sure be of aid, now that their final confrontation seemed to creep ever closer. <br>
<br>
Truthfully, her questions seemed odd. Yes and yes, were the answers, no? Perhaps an oversimplification, but one he'd reach again and again no matter how often he'd think it through. He was more surprised by how much time she spent explaining what a scone was. An odd one, that white witch... but scones did sound nice.<br>
<br>
Ko sounded like he wanted to go get himself poisoned. Ceylan truthfully wondered if he'd soon be healing him... Either way, he shook it off, focussing on Yukan instead. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“That was my intention, yes.”</b></span> He replied, not sure why Yukan even bothered to still ask him to join at this stage. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Although it might be more challenging than I though, for I sense no corruption in her to cleanse. Either she truly believes what she said, or the source of corruption lies elsewhere.”</b></span> He added, just to keep everyone up to date.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">They had ventured through twisted woods and faced down illusions that had toyed with their very perceptions. The hunters who sought to be heroes found themselves standing before the old, abandoned watchtower with a mixture of resolution and melancholy.<br>
<br>
The Masanori clan, clad in their warrior regalia, looked to each other with shame written upon their faces. Riku and Tashigoto, the once-proud warriors, were bowed by the weight of revelation. Their clenched fists and gritted teeth spoke of indignation as they came to understand the plight of the rice farmers whose lives had been exploited for their enrichment. The boar riders, the archers, and the few yari still left alive joined them, unable to hide their shame.<br>
<br>
“We cannot proceed,” Tashigoto spoke, his voice barely above a whisper. Riku nodded in agreement, and without another word, the Masanori clan turned and made their way back through the woods.<br>
<br>
Whiteclaw and his scouts, with their keen senses and instincts, had been in awe of the White Witch's display. Her words had resonated with them, and now, bolstered by Ceylan's revelation that she was pure and without corruption, they looked upon her with newfound respect. They felt a kinship with her struggle, and it was mirrored in the eyes of the tanuki who followed Yukan, Gyoubu among them.<br>
<br>
With Yukan at the lead, they approached the watchtower. Ceylan walked beside him, his celestial aura flickering like a candle in the wind with his angelic companion marching right behind. Tia didn't leave her father's side. Ko and Paru followed, determination set in their expressions, although for Ko that determination might be as much for a new truth as a nice cuppa tea and a scone. Kai and Indicus, now sharing the brutality of the assault on the Toad's back, moved as one. Whiteclaw took up the rear, his gaze unwavering.<br>
<br>
As they approached the entrance to the old watchtower, the hunters were immediately struck by the purity of their surroundings. The earth beneath their feet was devoid of the usual scents and signs of life; it was almost as if they had entered a realm that was too pure for the natural world. The air was crisp to the point of being sterile, and the silence was an absolute, unyielding thing.<br>
<br>
As they neared the entrance to the watchtower, they noted vibrant green moss growing on the walls and the floor. This was the only living thing they could see, and it was oddly out of place. The air around the moss was fresher, as if it was an oasis of life in an otherwise stagnant place. The walls around the moss were pristine, devoid of any signs of age or weathering. The old watchtower was immaculately clean, an abnormality that was almost unsettling.<br>
<br>
Yukan was the first to step into the watchtower, his eyes wide with curiosity and a hint of reverence. The others followed, their footsteps quiet against the stone floor.<br>
<br>
The first floor of the watchtower was an almost surreal space. The same green moss that they had seen outside was even more abundant here, and it gave the place an almost ethereal glow. The air was pristine to an extreme degree, so pure that it felt almost void of essence. It was like breathing in the air in a space devoid of life.<br>
<br>
What captivated them the most, however, were the paintings adorning the walls. These paintings depicted a city comprised entirely of tall, black basalt towers, which resembled an array of watchtowers. The city in the paintings was empty and abandoned, yet carried the same sterile quality that they felt in the watchtower. The only sign of life in the paintings was the same emerald green moss that they saw around them, growing in sparse patches in the otherwise lifeless city.<br>
<br>
Gyoubu reached out and gently touched one of the paintings. Her eyes were focused, as if trying to decipher a long-lost language. “This place,” she whispered, “is like a sanctuary, but one devoid of the vibrancy of life. It is pure, but in its purity, it has lost something essential.”<br>
<br>
The others looked around, feeling the weight of Ceylan's words. It was Whiteclaw who broke the silence. “Is it that which she is protecting somehow?"<br>
<br>
Gyoubu frowned, "What is with the purity? If so why the corruption the corpse tree and that nightmare realm and with the Diseased Hill Toad. The trickery with the Masanori clan?”<br>
<br>
Whiteclaw shrugged. <br>
<br>
The silence in the room was so thick it seemed to consume all sound. The air felt empty, as though stripped of life itself, containing only the bare essentials of gases.<br>
<br>
They found the White Witch at the top of the watchtower, not as the haunting figure they had faced earlier but as a regal entity, clad in garments that seemed woven from the very fabric of moonlight. Her eyes were like endless pools of crystal-clear water, which seemed to hold the weight of centuries within them. As they entered, she was in the midst of a coughing fit, and they watched as she coughed up what looked like clear water into a napkin. It was a distressing sight, yet she carried it with a grace that made them unsure of how to react. With a wave of her delicate hand, she beckoned them into the open observatory on the second floor.<br>
<br>
The observatory was an ethereal space, open to the night sky above and with a panoramic view of the surrounding lands. Moonlight spilled into the room, dancing across the floor and mingling with the mysterious green moss.<br>
<br>
What caught their attention were the unfinished paintings that surrounded the White Witch. The paintings depicted the same city of basalt towers they had seen below, but in these, there was something new. At the heart of the city was a pristine lake, so perfectly depicted that it seemed almost as if you could touch the water. It was the epitome of purity and tranquility.<br>
<br>
However, at the very center of this idealistic lake was something that sent shivers down their spines - a massive void-black sword, partially submerged in the lake. The blade was painted with a black so deep it seemed to consume light itself; vanta black. It was as though they were staring into the abyss, the blade's shape so dark and elusive that they couldn’t discern its true form.<br>
<br>
The contrast between the purity of the lake and the void-like sword created an almost haunting imagery that enveloped the room.<br>
<br>
The White Witch, standing amongst her paintings, looked frail and worn, but her presence still commanded the room.<br>
<br>
"This," she spoke with a voice like a whisper of the wind, "is what I have guarded, and what has guarded me. A sanctuary, devoured by the purity, the all consuming purity of an idea that's saturated its prison until nothing is left, nothing can thrive except that idea. It is incorruptible, I know I tried. An idea whose name should not be given voice and is devoured endlessly by the void yet even that can not devour it entirely."<br>
<br>
She waved off the unfinished paintings and began to invite everyone to tea, which was set out at a table nearby with a beautiful set of bone white porcelan and mithril. Plates of scones, still warm and filled with a variety of scents and flavors were on three tiered platters around the table. "But where are my manners? Come let us enjoy a nice cup of tea and scones before the end." <br>
<br>
As the White Witch's words filled the room, a sudden wave of fury surged from the celestial being that Ceylan had summoned. Its heavenly aura intensified, and its golden wings spread wide, casting a blinding light throughout the observatory.<br>
<br>
The celestial’s voice boomed, echoing within the space as if resonating from another realm. “This... this prison was forged by the host of Heaven to contain an idea too potent, too pure to exist in the mortal realm. An idea that could unweave the very fabric of creation! To depict it is to risk releasing the confines that bind it!” it roared, its eyes fixed on the paintings with the intensity of the stars themselves.<br>
<br>
In an unexpected, swift motion, the celestial being lunged at the White Witch, its golden sword raised high and gleaming with the wrath of the heavens.<br>
<br>
The White Witch looked not at the blade and rushing celestial, but rather towards the others that had come. "See my point?" She didn't seem like she would put up a fight. "Enjoy the tea and scones," she said with a wink at Ko before another fit of coughing errupted even as the celestial flesh to kill the White Witch.</div>

But I don’t think ya should be this hasty.” </span>Kai looked at the celestial with the same intensity he shown to the fae. Unlike the Fae, Kai’s gaze didn’t convey hostility towards the celestial, but uncertainty at the celestial’s action.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">“I don’t know why, but ya should calm yerself. My instinct tells me, what yer about to do isn’t gonna end well.”</span> Yes, that was what caused Kai to do this action, there was no logic behind it, but his instinct screamed at him to stop the Celestial. He didn’t even need to use his future sight, his intuition told him that violence right now, wasn’t the right answer.</div>

He was a bit surprised to see the Masanori's leaving. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“You'd turn your back on this?”</b></span> He'd ask, calling after them. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Should you not face your past sins by fighting this corruption, which has now harmed the people you're meant to protect. If her words hold any truth, should you not do what it takes to stop the spreading of this corruption, to fight for the people that support you? If you turn your back on it all, on the harm it's done to the people, only then do her words ring true. If you chose to face it and protect those that you used to exploit, you can prove to be better than that. Whilst her existence is an enigma, the results of her actions are clearly horrible and the task to end this spread of this corruption should be obvious.”</b></span> He wasn't sure why, but he felt a desire to [Preach (C)] to them about this. <br>
<br>
[Preach] – Religion C, Connected C [Syncretist Church], Energised C, Persuasion F – Character holds a long theological speech about faith. Not very entertaining, but theologically sound. - Grade C - 2 Post Cooldown.<br>
<br>
Having noticed the result of his words on Whiteclaw (Empathy D) he made it clear to them as well. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Do not be mistaken. The magic that stems from here is vile and evil. Whatever is happening, it is not good and needs to be eradicated. If she gets in the way of such, she's somehow deluded or controlled in away that simply hasn't directly corrupted her thus far.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Entering the tower, it was all too good to be true. Too clean, to pristine. Even without using magic, it had to be more of an illusion. He allowed his mind to ponder Whiteclaw's and Gyoubu's words. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“It might be, but I'm not sure. However, I do know the corruption wasn't all on the Masanori clan. The way it spread through the ley lines couldn't have been them. Not only that, they died alongside us fighting that Hilltoad. It'd dishonour them to simply blame this all on them.”</b></span><br>
<br>
When he saw her cough up clear water, he knew his instincts were confirmed. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“An illusion of purity.”</b></span> That's what it had to be. The blood she coughed up, made to look like mere water or worse, made into actual water to cover up the reality by simply overwriting it. <br>
<br>
Honestly, she spoke in riddles, even to him. He did not know what was in these paintings. Nor what was truly transpiring here. He was glad he'd summoned a Celestial to his aid, if not for their power, than simply to get an explanation. An idea too potent, too pure to exist in the mortal realm. Did that explain why everything surrounding it got corrupted? Likely. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Halt.”</b></span> He command the Celestial he'd summoned. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“We shall deal with this in due time, but we need to know why and how these were made, at least to avoid these events from repeating. Simply slaying her might only aid us in the short term.”</b></span> Were the latter not to listen, he'd instead cancel the duration on his summoning. <br>
<br>
Either way, he was confused. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Why would you depict these?”</b></span> He'd ask. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Who or what drove you to these?”</b></span> He needed to have a better understanding of this situation. If even slightly so. That'd allow him to judge the 'good' that might arise from this.</div>

Indicus walked through the tower looking at the paintings and trying to shake off the wrongness of the place then there was the void and the lake of the half finished painting. Indicus decided to indulge the White Witch and sat down drinking the tea in the cup in front of him. Watching events unfold Indicus had to admire the white witch, she seemed unfazed even by the Celestial trying to slay her and her lack of concern was the sole reason he decided to just continue to sit.<br>
<br>
 Indicus continued to listen as the priest tried to calm the celestial, taking time to try a scone and they tasted as good as they looked. Indicus noted either her cooking or her illusions were exceptional. And so eating scones and drinking tea was how Indicus passed the time as he waited for the White Witch to explain why she led them here.</div>

"...I ain't the worst place i've taken up the night in. Master several times ousted us into the wilds to learn the practicality of the blade. A bear shit filled cave was my find. The bear began to stank after abit, but being beheaded has a tendency to cause such a smell." he spoke frankly, considering the place as impertently as one might consider a brothel as he entered... With hopefully differing intent than what might be imagined as Ko's narrator drew comparisons.<br>
<br>
Ko would consider the others for but a brief moment, those that slinked away with tails between their legs. Blame, it was an easy thing to wield, it fits in the hand of many but it's a blade that is bent and chipped, but it cuts a ragged and deep cut... But it cuts indiscriminate and hardly ever what is deemed to be cut. Shame as well cuts readily, oft at the behest of others, but it's blade is... hard to gauge... it is as long and sharp as you let it be, his master spoke of the blade of shame once during a drunken... lesson. <br>
<br>
<br>

If you must fight in your fundoshi or less do so! Let their averted eyes be your entry to driving them to their death!!" his master stated, a bottle of half finished sake in his hand. <br>
<br>
"That is fine master, but must you tell this lesson without ANY clothes on!?"<br>
<br>
He saw alot of his master that evening, in his  master's defense it was a very hot evening, but many of the students never seen a woman's form so... Oh well, Ko would think, knowing many of his fellows, they'd likely never see one again.</div>

"...An artist's home then... This place doesn't reek of paint however... It reeks of a hospital. Far too clean. Where even the smell of blood is dulled." the young man followed the others, still unsure what to think of all this...  but when it came to the tea and scones, once offered, the canid fellow did not wait very long once offered. Hell he all but ignored everyone else before taking a seat and giving a small bow. "Thank you for the meal." <br>
<br>
he would regard the scone first... he was at first unsure how to eat it, taking it all in for the first few seconds.  it was most certainly a pastry but the fork and knife gave him a hint, it seemed to have... chocolate, how rich, the biscuit like texture was pleasant to behold. He took the knife in hand and cut a piece, stabbing it with an unaccustomed hand into the piece, takeing the bite...<br>
<br>
it was... Quite good. <br>
<br>
Though he silently remembered something about... Chocolate being bad for dogs..? But he was canid kin not actually so... Ah... one wont hurt.<br>
<br>
The scone was gone in a brief seconds, as he watched the celestial be halted by his fellow canid. He considered the scene as he took to the tea. "...Hmm..." it was well blended, the tea leaves well chosen for the cup, the scent was... lightly sweet.. but yet filled the nose with freshness, revitalizing.. No doubt she liked it due to this, her poorly condition likely was allevated with it's kindness...<br>
<br>
Jasmine, herbal tea in nature. Some would call it Green Tea, a lovely choice for those ailing or wanting a clear refreshing taste after something rich... <br>
<br>
Ko now considered the room, and the display, the unfinished pictures.. Ko would point out the sword so given focus. "Looks to me a cursed blade, or one given shape through... corruption? Corruption can be a sword then... Hmm... " the young man considered this from his seat. <br>
<br>
"You've given me tea, and fed me. You've my service if you've a desire." he offered it so lightly, but his point was simple, she upheld her bargain, so he would uphold his. "Corruption is a sword, by law of opposites, so to is purity. I guess it's hurting you to hold onto it."</div>

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/screen_shot_2022-09-06_at_4-08-19_pm-1-png.1099225/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1036/1036355-3bc4d9fae7b3b9a3b611b8d246a8d048.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="Screen_Shot_2022-09-06_at_4.08.19_PM-1.png" title="Screen_Shot_2022-09-06_at_4.08.19_PM-1.png" width="100" height="101" loading="lazy"></a>​</div><br>
While Yukan was glad to have a many allies who decided to come, the Masanori's clan's reaction was reasonable if they felt it was true what the witch had shown them, but just the same Ceylan had made a just point to counter it, as far as maintaining honor, there were a variety of options to take, so who really knew if any would come back. As for Yukan upon entering the building he looked around curiously, uncertain why it appeared to be so unnaturally clean, whatever this was it wasn't natural and given the context of why they had come there, it was..actually unsettling instead of relaxing to Yukan. The natural world was never this clean or pure, the beasts were of nature..even so he looked around at the scene cautiously. <br>
<br>
He listened to what Gyoubu had to say and gave a nod in agreement. This really did feel so sterile it was devoid, and those paintings were not helping it feel any better at the moment.<br>
<br>
"I agree with Ceylan, even if my senses are not as attuned of some of you as far as magic.. we must keep our wits about us..whatever all of this is, it isn't right..something has gone wrong here, something so sterile isn't designed for our plain..and doesn't follow the natural order." <br>
<br>
"What appears so orderly and functional is a disorder which I feel must be dealt with." <br>
<br>
While he wasn't sure how it connected to the grand scheme of the corruption seeping out, he knew that they needed to find the source and stop it..it was only logical that the source was here where the witch had been residing.<br>
<br>
By the time they moved into the observatory Yukan looked around, this was another space which was most unusual,  between the strange paintings  which looked different than the ones they had seen earlier, and then there was the White Witch herself who looked much less threatening here, even if Yukan was on high alert, who knew if she had been telling the truth when she said she could have struck them all down with her magic from where she was? Who was really in control here? Yukan truthfully wasn't sure what information was accurate, how much of this was an illusion and how much of it was a state of other magic or reality?<br>
<br>
Yukan was impressed with the brazen nature of Kai in how he stood between the witch and celestial of all things, to protect someone who had contributed to the deaths of many already, and whom created chaos. He understood the Celestial's position too however, this sort of thing was not supposed to exist here and went against the natural order..thankfully between Kai and Ceylan's orders hopefully going through the witch would be spared for now until they could figure out what was going on, Yukan was still not beyond the possibility of having to kill her regardless. <br>
<br>
The group certainly put more trust into the White Witch's offerings than he would, Ko and Indicus immediately enjoying her offerings after the fact. Yukan wasn't sure what to make of Ko's words about offering the witch a service, but he was free to do what he liked, he wasn't under the employment of anyone there nor in any affiliated group where they had command over him. Yukan made his way near the others who took the witch up on her offer when it seemed like violence was not going to break out for now, and continued. Yukan would tap into his <b>Republic of Kuridan Etiquette F </b>as a standalone for now<br>
<br>
He looked to the witch, "Whether you believe your intentions are noble, from first hand, I have seen people who are just trying to live their lives who have been devastated by whatever has been going on here with this corruption that's been spreading... even if what you say is true about what sins the Masanori clan committed against others, and as strong as a desire there is for vengeance..an eye for an eye for an eye can make the world go blind if you are not careful.." Yukan said, surprisingly perhaps sounding a bit more mature beyond his age.<br>
<br>
Yukan continued speaking,  after pausing for effect.<br>
<br>
"I truthfully have no desire to harm you if it's possible, but this activity must cease,  and I am willing to do many things to make sure that this corruption ends. There is no reason that others must be harmed, people who have nothing to do with what transpired, their  livelihoods and loved ones should not be harmed or killed because of whatever this is..even if it was laid with noble intention..the results are not  honorable, and it isn't justice." Yukan concluded.<br>
<br>
"So please.allow us to understand what happened, and what needs to happen so that this can be resolved and all of this suffering and turmoil  caused by this corruption can come to an end." Yukan asked with genuine interest.</div>

 ...back before everyone left to ascend the tower...<br>
-----------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
As Ceylan’s words washed over the Masanori scions, Riku and Tashigoto, a visible change came over them. The air rustled carrying faint motes of celestial light like dandelion seeds on the wind, as if even the ancestral spirits of the Masanori clan were listening.<br>
<br>
Riku's stoic mask crumbled as he clenched his fists. Tashigoto's eyes were wide, taking in Ceylan’s words as though they were water quenching a deep thirst.<br>
<br>
Ceylan could feel an energy surge as he invoked the knowledge and wisdom of the Syncretist Church. The angelic being behind him was a reinforcing radiant presence. "Fight the darkness inside of you and the darkness of the past. Fight and fight even after the falling of the light." The angel's voice resonated with the solemn echoes of ancient faith.<br>
<br>
“The seeds we sow in the soil of our actions grow into the trees of our legacy,” Ceylan intoned, his words as much a prayer as a plea. “To turn away from corruption is to let the weeds of the past choke the saplings of the future. We must tend to our garden, no matter how thorny the stems. For in our labor lies our redemption. We are but caretakers of this world; our duty is to leave it richer than we found it. The Masanori, stewards of these lands, guardians of its people, have the power and the duty to make right what was once made wrong.”<br>
<br>
As Ceylan’s sermon ended, he felt a silent peace envelop the area as all of the Masanori hunters as well as others who had seen the wandering saint hold back death and cast out corruption fell to their knees. The connection to something greater, achieved through communal benediction and introspection of the subtleties of spiritual corrosions: shame and humiliation were exercised from those Masanori here at least and perhaps the ancient spirits of their clan! He could feel an invisible tapestry of wills and choices from the past through the present and into the future SHIFT from what it had been like a snarl in weaving righted. <br>
<br>
Riku’s voice cracked as he spoke, “You speak truth, holy one. We cannot turn away for the roots of the Masanori are entwined with these lands. We must face our past to build a future for those we serve.”<br>
<br>
Tashigoto, with a newfound determination, added, “We will stand and fight corruption. We will honor our ancestors by protecting those they failed.”<br>
<br>
As they spoke, Whiteclaw, who had been listening, stepped forward. His gaze, which had been wary and unsure before, was now steely and resolved. The scouts who followed him seemed to stand taller, their hearts no longer clouded by doubt.<br>
<br>
“Whatever be the source of this darkness,” Whiteclaw stated firmly, “we shall face it. Not as mere hunters or warriors but as guardians of the land and its people.”<br>
<br>
Ceylan had made allies not just for this battle, but for the stewardship of these lands. Forged as much in the shared blood spilt this week as by the spiritual guidance of his words and blessings.<br>
<br>
--------------------------------------------------<br>
 ...back to the present, atop the second floor...<br>
--------------------------------------------------<br>
<br>
The celestial’s voice boomed, echoing within the space as if resonating from another realm. “This... this prison was forged by the host of Heaven to contain an idea too potent, too pure to exist in the mortal realm. An idea that could unweave the very fabric of creation! To depict it is to risk releasing the confines that bind it!” it roared, its eyes fixed on the paintings with the intensity of the stars themselves.<br>
<br>
In an unexpected, swift motion, the celestial being lunged at the White Witch, its golden sword raised high and gleaming with the wrath of the heavens.<br>
<br>
Kai suddenly got between the Celestial and the Witch, not even flinching at heaven’s wrath. “I’m going to say, I don’t know what this full situation is about. But I don’t think ya should be this hasty.” Kai looked at the celestial with the same intensity he showed to the fae. Unlike the Fae, Kai’s gaze didn’t convey hostility towards the celestial, but uncertainty at the celestial’s action.<br>
<br>
“I don’t know why, but ya should calm yerself. My instinct tells me, what yer about to do isn’t gonna end well.” Yes, that was what caused Kai to do this action, there was no logic behind it, but his instinct screamed at him to stop the Celestial. He didn’t even need to use his future sight, his intuition told him that violence right now, wasn’t the right answer.<br>
<br>
The celestial’s eyes glared with righteous fury as it looked upon Kai who dared to stand between it and its target. It seemed as if time slowed in those moments, the very air tense with anticipation.<br>
<br>
“Mortal audacity knows no bounds!” the celestial thundered. Its ethereal voice was like the rumbling of an approaching storm. It swung its golden sword with a force that was celestial in nature, a swing meant to undo what it saw as an abomination.<br>
<br>
Kai's sword clashed against the celestial's blade and with a resounding crack, Kai's weapon shattered into a thousand fragments of steel and light. The force of the celestial's attack was so immense that it sent Kai hurtling backward through the air, colliding with the wall.<br>
<br>
The room fell silent, save for the quiet coughing of the White Witch and the gentle whisper of emerald moss growing along the walls.<br>
<br>
“Halt.” Ceylan commanded the Celestial he'd summoned. “We shall deal with this in due time, but we need to know why and how these were made, at least to avoid these events from repeating. Simply slaying her might only aid us in the short term.” Were the latter not to listen, he'd instead cancel the duration of his summoning.<br>
<br>
As Ceylan's words fell upon the room, the celestial hesitated for a moment. Its fierce gaze shifted between the White Witch and the paintings, then to the shattered sword and Kai.<br>
<br>
The White Witch then spoke up, her voice reverberating through the silence, "Stay your wrath, celestial. These paintings are but echoes. Even if a portion of the Green has followed me back, the Prison of Purity still holds. <br>
<br>
Indicus continued to listen as the priest tried to calm the celestial, taking time to try a scone and they tasted as good as they looked. Indicus noted either her cooking or her illusions were exceptional. And so eating scones and drinking tea was how Indicus passed the time as he waited for the White Witch to explain why she led them here.<br>
<br>
“But the idea is the seed,” The nameless celestial said. “This is too dangerous.” <br>
<br>
The White Witch glanced at her younger brother and rolled her eyes, winking. A bit of her playfulness appeared for a moment before responding, “Staring at the sun will blind a person, but looking at the moon can give insight into the sun. This place, this tower, is a reflection, a shadow of that which you fear will someday come. Through me, it was given form, so that its echo may serve as…" She trailed off into another coughing fit. Those with keen noses would notice the stuff she hacked up was completely without odor, pure and clear it might have been distilled water.<br>
<br>
Ko’s scone was gone in a brief seconds, as he watched the celestial be halted by his fellow canid. He considered the scene as he took to the tea. "...Hmm..." it was well blended, the tea leaves well chosen for the cup, the scent was... lightly sweet.. but yet filled the nose with freshness, revitalizing.. No doubt she liked it due to this, her poor condition likely was alleviated with its kindness...<br>
<br>
Jasmine, herbal tea in nature. Some would call it Green Tea, a lovely choice for those ailing or wanting a clear refreshing taste after something rich... <br>
<br>
The White Witch got to her feet, staging a little and hobbled to the set out table plopping down next to Indicus. “Ah,” she reached over, taking a small sip of the jasmine tea. “Tea is impure, you know.” She looked at Ko, “The pure distilled water steeped with foreign matter, together something greater than if nothing had been done.” She laughed. <br>
<br>
Ko now considered the room, and the display, the unfinished pictures.. Ko would point out the sword so given focus. "Looks to me like a cursed blade, or one given shape through... corruption? Corruption can be a sword then... Hmm... " the young man considered this from his seat. <br>
<br>
“Ah,” The White Witch smiled like the radiance of the full moon, “So you see that by nothing being there it is there. At least it isn’t supposed to be there, but the idea that it must be there is why this only served to bind a most insidious idea and not destroy it.”<br>
<br>
"You've given me tea, and fed me. You've my service if you've a desire," he offered it so lightly, but his point was simple: she upheld her bargain, so he would uphold his. "Corruption is a sword, by law of opposites, so too is purity. I guess it's hurting you to hold onto it."<br>
<br>
“They call it a Void Blade. Ironically the void is the very absence of all things and thus the most pure. The Celestial Ideal is but an impure reflection of the true purity of the Void. What you see is the answer. Corruption is a blade, just as your sword was not a sword yet it severed the idea connecting you to the poor Corpse Tree. You are proof that mother chose right by setting my brother in motion where and when she did.” She smiled, reached out and playfully slugged Indicus in the shoulder.<br>
<br>
As Ko and the White Witch's words on purity and corruption resonated in the room, Whiteclaw, the scout leader, slowly started to comprehend the significance of what had unfolded. The stern expression softened, and Whiteclaw looked around at everyone who had followed them through thick and thin.<br>
<br>
“Lads, we've seen somethin’ today that'll be etched in our souls,” Whiteclaw spoke in a hushed tone. “We've always fought for what’s right, but today we learn that there’s more than just black and white, good and evil. There’s a balance and maybe something more beyond that. The land ‘n its people need caretakers, not just seekers. We need to be both.”<br>
<br>
Gyoubu, the Tanuki Shrinemaiden under Yukan, was notably impressed with Ko's words. Her furry face seemed to light up as she clapped her hands in appreciation. “Wisdom in such a vagrant! Ah, this is a sign,” Gyoubu said animatedly. “The Tanuki have always believed in harmony with nature, but nature itself has its shadows and lights. We must be the guardians who watch over both.”<br>
<br>
Gyoubu then turned to the White Witch. “Lady, your paintings reveal the two extremes. We, the Tanuki, pledge to help you in safeguarding this sanctuary and understanding its secrets.”<br>
<br>
The White Witch looked at all of them, her pale and fragile figure now emanating a sort of quiet strength. A sad smile graced her lips, and she spoke with a voice that was like a delicate breeze. “Thank you, brave souls. You see what many have failed to perceive. The sword in my paintings represents the devastating potential of unchecked purity. It consumes and leaves no room for life’s natural ebb and flow. Even this is unable to slay what lies beneath those mirror still waters.”<br>
<br>
She looked at the emerald moss around them. “This moss is…” She started coughing again and this time not just the pure distilled water but little flecks of green came away into her handkerchief. “Damn, never enough time.” <br>
<br>
Yukan looked to the witch, "Whether you believe your intentions are noble, from first hand, I have seen people who are just trying to live their lives who have been devastated by whatever has been going on here with this corruption that's been spreading... even if what you say is true about what sins the Masanori clan committed against others, and as strong as a desire there is for vengeance..an eye for an eye for an eye can make the world go blind if you are not careful.." Yukan said, surprisingly perhaps sounding a bit more mature beyond his age.<br>
<br>
“Oh them.” She flicked her hand as if discarding a fly. “No one died. A small point was made. I had a little fun. Everyone learned a lesson. Etcetera etcetera. You should sit and have some tea, you seem to be missing the whole point.” <br>
<br>
Yukan continued speaking, after pausing for effect."I truthfully have no desire to harm you if it's possible, but this activity must cease, and I am willing to do many things to make sure that this corruption ends.” <br>
<br>
The White Witch said, “Oh the corruption, yes I thought it would work to counteract but it was too weak.” Then she paused and furrowed her brows, “You didn’t think &gt;I&lt; caused the corruption did you? I didn’t create the Corpse Tree nor sate it with the bodies of the wicked so they might know unending pain as they were incorporated into its matrix. And this blight had been festering for some time. This tower was neglected as the Shogun focused money and tanuki elsewhere. The shrines are wholly corrupted, all of them, save for the one you're wandering saint cleansed, but I hope you realize that in cleansing the shrine you may have missed the point.” <br>
<br>
Ceylan said, “There is no reason that others must be harmed, people who have nothing to do with what transpired, their livelihoods and loved ones should not be harmed or killed because of whatever this is...even if it was laid with noble intention...the results are not honorable, and it isn't justice," Yukan concluded.<br>
<br>
"So please allow us to understand what happened, and what needs to happen so that this can be resolved and all of this suffering and turmoil caused by this corruption can come to an end." Yukan asked with genuine interest.<br>
<br>
As Yukan spoke with a wisdom that belied his youth, the room fell silent. His words hung in the air like the soft tolling of a bell, calling for reflection.<br>
<br>
Riku of the Masanori clan, who had been silently observing, stood up. His stern expression had changed to one of resolve. His shoulders, which had borne the weight of his family’s troubled past, seemed somewhat lighter. “The young one speaks the truth,” he declared in a deep voice. “We, the Masanori, have paid for our sins in ways that words cannot describe. We have looked inward and found the courage to change. But revenge, and the suffering of innocents... this cannot be the answer. It is time to lay the past to rest and look to the future.”<br>
<br>
Tashigoto, also of the Masanori clan, had a pained expression as she clutched her chest. Tears welled up in her eyes as she listened to Yukan. "I have seen the bloodshed caused by the corruption and it pains me to my very soul," she whispered. "If this is the cost of our sins, then let the cost be paid by us, not by those who had no part in it."<br>
<br>
He looked at Riku and then turned to the White Witch. "White Witch, if our ancestors caused you pain, then let us find a way to atone. Not with more pain, but with healing. We can work together to restore the balance and protect this land."<br>
<br>
The White Witch’s eyes, clear as crystal pools, seemed to well up as she listened. It was hard to tell if she was crying or the distilled water was just leaking out of her eyes. She looked at the Masanori clan members, and then to Yukan. “Then my little prank was not without merit, a small corruption perhaps of sweet Sawazuki, but when done with skill used to heal old wounds,” she whispered. “I had hoped the answer would be found here. I have been consumed by the purity of my purpose quite literally.”<br>
<br>
“By the Heavens...” the celestial’s voice softened. Its realization came like a wave as it slowly comprehended the role of the White Witch. “You are the Keeper of Echoes, the failsafe guardian tasked with keeping an echo of the prison…you would be the first to fail, you would be…” the celestial whispered with both reverence and sorrow.<br>
<br>
The White Witch's coughing fit erupted again, the once pure distilled water now entirely consumed with the green moss, flowering out of her and landing all about the table. “A star might die but its light would only reflect that long after the star was gone.” <br>
<br>
The celestial, filled with regret for its hasty actions, bowed its head. "Forgive my ignorance," it uttered. It then turned to Ceylan, its voice now but a gentle breeze, "Your wisdom goes beyond your years, your holiness to have stayed my hand. We had it all wrong." With growing terror the celestial looked at the green moss, which had grown hairier, more stringy like cobweb. <br>
<br>
“Just an echo.” She smiled, “A warning,” she choked on the green moss erupting from her throat, trying to tear it away. As the echo disappeared, the White Witch began to age rapidly. Her skin wrinkled, and her hair turned grey, then white. She seemed to be withering away, her purpose now fulfilled. The paintings aged at a rapid pace as well. The green moss also seemed caught in the collapse of the echo, fading from vibrant emerald green to a pale spearmint color. <br>
<br>
"Remember," the White Witch's voice, now old and frail, spoke her final words, "Purity is not enough to destroy an idea, you can’t tell yourself not to think of something. The star seed needs more to be destroyed. Balance perhaps, a balance I could not find in time."<br>
<br>
With that, her form dissipated into a cascade of starlight, leaving behind only the whisper of her voice and the memory of her presence. The paintings and even the afflicting moss turned to dust and disappeared. Leaving a musty old tower, empty except for the tea and scones, and the people that had worked through so much to have come away with simultaneously so much (the Hill Toad) and so little (satisfying answers). <br>
<br>
The room stood silent, every soul present touched by the gravity of what had just transpired. Or perhaps just confused. The shattered remains of Kai's sword lay on the floor, a reminder that even something done with the best of intentions is not enough.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Indicus watched the White Witch no this Keeper of Echoes and listened to her speak and before he knew it she rapidly aged and faded away. He missed his chance to ask a question but perhaps she already answered it some time ago. She did refer to him as a brother then there was the familiarity he felt and even further the vials filled with a unknown but seemingly beneficial liquid placed in a area only accessible by kin. Then his Lunar Dragon bloodline.<br>
<br>
Well he had an idea of the type of dragon to look for and perhapse that would narrow it down significantly but before he could journy into the land of monsters he would have to get stronger and with Yukan's ambitions he would have plenty of opportunities to sharpen his claws. As all great men have a long dark shadow even if no one wants to acknowledge it besides it might be fun playing kingmaker. He has been a thief, a crook, a courier, and many other things in his last life so why not add to that list in this one.<br>
<br>
With a goal held firmly in mind and being one step closer to his own ambition Indicus stood up with a smile. A simple hunt for a Hill Toad so he could make some extra coin turned into so much more and here he was at the end of this little adventure readying himself for another. <br>
<br>
With that same smile Indicus decided to search this tower for some journal that his sister left behind.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Kai calmly got up from the wall. He felt mildly annoyed as he left his regeneration to heal up any injuries he sustained. He walked up to listen to the final words of the witch in solemn silence as he picked up a scone and some tea to drink. Then it was revealed that he had been completely correct in his assessment and his instincts were correct, to which he gave a side eye. The glance was for a moment, but somehow Kai seemed to pass an entire message with that stare alone. If that message was verbalized it would have gone as such:<br>
<br>
<i>Motherfucker, I literally tried to stop ya from making the biggest mistake of yer immortal dumbass’s existence and you go on to break my fucking sword. Do ya know how much work I had to do to get that? That shit ain’t easy to get legally if ya were sent into the world with nothing, but the clothes on yer fucking back. Ya call me impudent, but ya don’t even acknowledge the guy ya actually hurt, ya fucking dumbass, how did your stupid ass get out of fucking celestial boot camp? Ya stupid piece of shit, if I was in charge of ya I would have thrown yer ass to the fucking street for being such a dumbfuck, cause if I let yer ass work under I would have committed sepuku out of shame. How the fuck do ya expect mortals to respect ya if ya act like yer brains were made from recycled fossilized shit from the dinosaurs? And when ya fucking realize the truth ya don’t even give a fucking apology do they seriously not give ya the course on fucking manners? Ya called me impudent, yet ya acted like a fucking winged child who watched way to much Super fucking Sentai and met the actor for the main villain and couldn’t understand the difference. At least ya could have done for all that shit would be to pull up yer fucking diaper and fucking apologized, dipshit.</i><br>
<br>
Kai was mildly annoyed to say the least.<br>
<br>
Kai gave a somber look at the end of their journey. There was nothing to do, but give a silent prayer before excusing himself properly, before grabbing the remnants of sword that was so rudely broken, before walking out after the witch had passed. Kai stood before a great tree and taking his other sword and slicing off three parts off it. He then rearranged two parts into a cross before burying it into the ground carving the name of the Keeper of Echoes. Kai then took the third piece and craved a third message to the rest of the group mostly aimed at Ceylan, Yukan, Riku, and the Celestial.<br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">I will be taking my leave now, I thank ya  for the opportunity to fight alongside all of ya. I will be the first one leaving as I wish to walk my own path in this world without being bound to anything. While this is the end for our current working relationship, I do not believe this to be the end. Let us have a drink sometime if our paths cross again. </span></i><br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)"><i>-Kai</i></span><br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(41, 105, 176)">P.S. Celestial, Ya owe me money for a new sword.</span></i><br>
<br>
Kai let the message as he walked to find his own path to heaven and his own way, until they meet again. Kai’s next destination was a somewhat familiar one, to the Barony he goes. Well, after he returned the other blade that is.</div>

<br>
So much had been explained... Well.. Not really but Ko was used to that type of life. unexplained answers needing explanation through serious thought, meditation, when in truth the answer was as simple as taking a step back and looking at the big picture so you can see what the little picture was getting at. the lines that lead up to the situation at hand was more important than the situation. <br>
<br>
The witch had long since been dead, this was just a reflection. <br>
<br>
But... "Oi you! Don't call me a vagrant. i don't care how cute you are and how fluffy yer tail is I'll... Sit here and eat another scone and drink more tea." he took... Some... offense to what Gyoubu said, but not really, he really was a vagrant; but this was a vagrant's tale and so was he it's author. <br>
<br>
Where was he? Right... <br>
<br>
"So.. Don't remove corruption, but manage it. Corruption has a part in life alongside purity. Excess is the trouble... Hrmm..." ko scratches his head. "hard to think that toad was anything close to nature... Its easy enough to say "attain balance" but not explain how to do so... Guess corruption is just nature left to ruin...?  Or worse..? Angered spirits...? <br>
<br>
None of this is a sword... Wait.. no... Sword of angry spirits..? Gaaah i'm talking out my ass now." The swordsman grumbled, not fully certain if he was right or wrong. "All i know is GOOD tea has balance in it's flavor, heat and profile. Too much sugar ruins it, too much milk sullies it, to taste certainly but is it tea or just hot leaf juice by that point? <br>
<br>
Taking it as is, finding the balance and sometimes dealing away with fussy ceremony if the tea needs to be served hot. Is key! And theres nothing worse than bad tea! Except maybe no tea." he paused in his rantings to sip from his new cup that he stole from another seat at the table. "...And remember when to take rest from the tea to cleanse your palate."</div>

<br>
He'd been glad his words caught on to the Masanori's. His tail betrayed as much, slowly wagging back and forth. <s>He should never try to deceive someone.</s> Knowing that they were now braving this corruption was enough for him to feel glad he'd spoken up about it, rather than staying silent. As he got to preaching, the words passed his lips so naturally, it was like they weren't even his own. He was glad to see Whiteclaw reaffirm his convictions as well. They needed a firm resolve to face the White Witch.<br>
<br>
Truthfully, Ceylan wasn't sure what was going on with these paintings. Which was a euphemism. He was completely lost. Truthfully, he was even slightly unsure if stopping the Celestial had been the correct move. It's why he was all the more glad to hear them interact, as it seemed the Celestial eventually realised that whom they were dealing with wasn't an enemy after all, but some form of guardian. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Trustfully, I was merely blessed to be guided by instinct correctly.”</b></span> He replied to the Celestial's words of gratitude, for he could not claim much victory with how much divine luck had been involved.<br>
<br>
Confused as ever, he watched the White Witch and paintings age and vanish. His instinctive desire to heal them halted only by the clear signs that he wouldn't be able to do so. A deep sigh escaped his lips. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I'll have to think on what exactly happened here for a long time, it seems, perhaps looking through the scriptures and asking for divination will grant me answers.”</b></span> He spoke to nobody in particular. Then, he turned to the others. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Whilst we didn't accomplish what we set out to do, I believe it was still good for us to have arrived here. For now, however, I must press onwards. Perhaps our paths will meet again, or if you ever wish to come seek me out, my fate will soon be intertwined with that of the Holy City of Vegard in the far north. Otherwise, I shall pray for you all to be successful in all the good that you set out to do.”</b></span><br>
<br>
He then turned to the Tanuki's in particular (Yukan, Gyoubu, Riku, etc.). <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I've learned a lot from having been amongst your ranks, so I wish to thank you for letting accompany this endeavour. Whilst it is not a divination, I have a strong sense our paths will one day cross again.”</b></span> He turned towards Yukan in particular next. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Something, divine or instinct, tells me your future might hold great amounts of turmoil. Should you ever wish to search for my council, I would be more than willing to give it.”</b></span> He'd almost forgotten something. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Should you meet with Longfeather, please give him my regards and tell him I'm sorry for never actually meeting with him.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Next up was Indicus. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“It seems your search continues even now.”</b></span> He spoke, watching the lizard go through the tower, looking for something. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“May you find what you seek.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Then to Ko. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I believe that, what we learned here, is that nothing can be utterly pure, for it's a concept this world cannot fully grasp. Even so, it has also left me with many other questions. What I do know, however, is that striving for what is pure and good is not incorrect. Corruption needs to be weeded out to prevent it from growing, even though it can never been annihilated in its entirety. That, I believe, would be the simplest lesson we've been taught, even though I wish to think upon it even more.”</b></span> He sighed, as it felt like he was looking at his polar opposite when looking at Ko. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“As for what a sword is, to me, it is a necessary evil. A tool crafted to cause harm, needed for the good and bad alike. Able to harm and to protect, with no desires of its own, but with a polar opposite intent based on who wields it.”</b></span> He sighed. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“May you wield yours for good.”</b></span> He hoped he could at least wish for that much, towards his near-polar opposite.<br>
<br>
He then turned to Paru. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Should you wish to introduce me to your village, to share more lessons about my religion or about the outside world in general, you need only ask. There should be plenty opportunities to leave the Holy City of Vegard whenever my duties call me elsewhere, of which your request would be one.”</b></span><br>
<br>
Although he also wanted to say 'goodbye' to Kai, the latter had already left. He displayed a small smile when he read the message carved in tree bark. Perhaps he'd not just be [Scribe of Celestials] but [Treasurer] as well, soon. With a final look across his shoulder, he would head onwards, towards his next destination. The Holy City of Vegard. Whether the gods would actually have him arrive there without more diversions was another matter, but that was one that only the future could tell.</div>

"...You talk waaaay to much good boy." Ko spoke with a grumble, the man already leaving. Good is a sword? Well no shit, a good sword only cuts what you deem to cut and nothing else. A bad sword, an evil sword, cuts all things and severs all it touches, it needs blood to be saitiated, but in a sense this badness is simply hunger. <br>

And is hunger not natural? <br>
<br>
How foolish, when focusing too much on the good you forget the nessessity behind the evils commited, the struggle for life and the possibility of death. Good is... well Good, but in evil there is only perspective. <br>

Quite the epic toad battle. Kinda wondering why this didn't happen an rp ago rather than what did wind up happening. Tons of npcs. Glad we cleared the air of some of them toward the end. Was honestly disappointed Ceylan is so good at resurrecting since I was really hoping more of the npcs would get cleared out. Kinda wondering if Yukan was truly best character to be given so much command despite his rank in clan. Even angel and heavenly host getting put under his direction for a time? Gives me pause. Perhaps I was misreading though, which was honestly not a tough feat to accomplish. The narrative for this rp felt a little odd in how things were described and brought about. The initial departure felt sluggish. The ending makes me wonder what grander things are being implicated and whether this was the rp to introduce them. All in all, feels like the rp accomplished what it set out to do, but spiraled off into a few other directions that makes me wonder if the narrative evolved out of whimsy rather than a planned out narration. ...this is part 3? Geez this storyline definitely grew from a simple training rp XD<br>
<br>
Aftermath:<br>
Pretty much same as the aftermath from previous rp give or take some increased lands due to a further suppression of corruption. <a href="https://www.rpnation.com/threads/isekai-hell-falling-to-rise-part-2-aka-no-rest-for-the-weary.524116/post-11685584" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fthreads%2Fisekai-hell-falling-to-rise-part-2-aka-no-rest-for-the-weary.524116%2Fpost-11685584&amp;hash=aac5034aa8521ae8298187caeab48207">Fantasy - [Isekai Hell] Falling to Rise, Part 2 (aka No Rest for the Weary)</a><br>
