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! Beast Skeletons [F-] and Beastmen Skeletons [F+] are more common, arising from forgotten graves and corrupted shrines around the Carmine Dying Lake.[/spoiler]<br></li><li class="bbTabContent" id="tab_1736444426" style="display: none;"><br>
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_1736444427" 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_1736444429" 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_1736444430" 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>

					<div class="bbWrapper">It was a long night quelling the patrons of the Five Thousand Peony Blossoms, the Masanori Geisha House. This was a time of revelry and it was a sore point in the Masanori House's honor that such an event had transpired. While it was true that Yukan was the commander of a group of hunters, it was also true that a potential crisis loomed for the Masanori House. Thus within thirty minutes one of the elders had showed up. The rich browns and tan coloring so common of the tanuki had turned silver and white with age. <br>
<br>
<b>Masanori Nyctereutes</b> was the true owner of the Five Thousand Peony Blossoms, and his arrival was a humiliation for <b>Masanori Tashigoto, </b>who was the scion within Yukan's hunting group.  Tashigoto for his part explained the situation and surprisingly Gyoubu didn't heckle. Yukan, Whiteclaw, and the logistics unit were interviewed in turn as well. <br>
<br>
The most unusual story that came out was when <b>Sawazuki the Tanuki Geisha</b> was interviewed. She screamed and cried for help! She claimed that her family was being held hostage and many of them would die if she didn't return immediately! A succubus had bewitched her family and tortured them before her eyes. Using unusual alchemy, this seductress had weakened and broken the bodies of the men in her family, only to heal them again! After several demonstrations all of her family had become compliant. It was horrible! She sobbed and cried, snot even ran down her beautiful tanuki snout! <br>
<br>
Both Yukan eager to see a resolution of the mystery of the <b>Silver Vomiting Geisha Sawazuki</b> and Masanori Tashigoto was eager to fix his standing within his house.  Although several of <b>Tashigoto's </b>siblings were jockeying to take over, ultimately Tashigoto remained for now as he was a named unit leader of the hunting party and he had recruited most of the logistics core. <br>
<br>
<b>Borris and Crymaria</b> were introduced to another human, although he looked more like a man-bear and could be mistaken as Borris' younger brother. <b>Hudson Choi</b> (<a href="/members/shawazama.99641/" class="avatar avatar--xxs" data-user-id="99641" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" id="js-XFUniqueId28">

 ) had been hired by Masanori as the other heavy lifter. His capacity to lift and haul hundred upon hundred of pounds was only exceeded by how cheap it was to hire. Granted by the time Masanori had gone to recruit the pickings had been slim. <br>
<br>
<b>Indicus </b>tried to wander off and go to sleep. It was easy for him to find what he was looking for given his <b>Survival </b>skills. He moved like a passing shadow, so quiet that no one seemed to notice he'd withdrawn. He quietly walked outside and found a nice large tree near a courtyard. The large tree's boughs extended up thirty feet and spread over an equally large pond. As he tried to settle into the crook between two thick branches and the trunk, he noticed <b>Maria Kemple</b> just as she noticed him! While he was skilled at moving without being heard, she was equally skilled at hearing what couldn't be heard. And thus, it appears the mermaid had noticed <b>Indicus</b>. <br>
<br>
What was worse, <b>Whiteclaw</b> fluttered in as the pair were looking at each other. Turning his head 180-degrees, Whiteclaw looked up at <b>Indicus</b>. "Ah, you found my fifth, <b>Maria Kemple</b> is our water scout. The swamps are wet this time of year and she excels in such environments, plus she has excellent hearing." After a pause, he flapped his wings and jumped up to join <b>Indicus </b>upon the large boughs of the massive tree. "Great look out point. Not much out of the ordinary." Whiteclaw scanned into the distance, but shrugged, "Even the guard towards on the outlying hills are manned during the festival. It's unlikely a massive force is behind the ambush upon our party, but Yukan has called for everyone to stay together and hunt down this lead before we leave. We need to make sure we won't have someone hunting us while we are out hunting the Hill Toad." Nodding to Indicus, Whiteclaw leapt down from the tree and motioned to <b>Maria</b>. "Where you able to track any of the Gerbie's?" It was a casual question, but <b>Maria </b>could see a glint of gluttonous hunger in Whiteclaw's predatory eyes that was usually only reserved for enemies. <br>
<br>
Alas and oddly enough, <b>Maria </b>had neither heard nor seen any of the retreating Gerbies. <br>
<br>
In this way, the majority of those under Yukan's command in the nearby area assembled for what would hopefully not be a wild wolf spider chase. Individually, wolf spiders could be quite canny and crazy. <br>
<br>
"S-she said that the potions w-would be," Sawazuki blew her noise, large tears falling from her eyes. "In a la-large t-t-t-treeeeeeee," And she started crying all over again. "B..bb...yyyy." And she blubbered all over again. "P-please ssssaaaavvvvveeeee my, my family!" <br>
<br>
Thus the group had three choices before them, hunt down any lingering trace of the Gerbie, rush to Sawazuki's house, or try to find this tree first. Of course there were no doubt an infinite number of options beyond these three, such as deciding none of this was worth losing sleep over. While discussions were good and great and any good commander should listen to the advice, especially of the logistical core, ultimately it was up to Yukan how to proceed.</div>

"Nice to meet you Maria, I'm Indicus acting as a forester scout and possibly cook if I recall my given job correctly." Indicus decided not to correct Whiteclaw's assumption about playing lookout as having a possible future employer seeing you in a good light was always a plus.

Crymaria stood in the corner of the courtyard with Borris as she ran her hand through the bear's fur. The recent events, especially those of the last 24 hours, were strange. There was so much darkness, not even because of the evil that had happened thus far. There was just so much unknown to the group, making her think there was much more going on than many would probably admit. Letting out a sigh she continued to pet her companion. <br>
<br>
The interrogation of the geisha didn't seem to lend too much to what was going on. Even Crymaria couldn't take the girl at her word; for all she knew, it could be another trap. On top of that, her employer seemed to have a knack for getting involved in the middle of trouble. But that didn't mean that the girl was lying about the succubus. <span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">"Comrade Borris if the pay wasn't good we would have declined this adventure. But I suppose there isn't much we can do about it now. Besides, there are plenty of comrades relying on us getting those supplies from point A to B," </span>Crymaria concluded as she noticed the arrival of another human. <br>
<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">Another human? Well now, that was something I didn't expect to happen with this group. Though I suppose that's not a bad thing either. </span></i><span style="color: null">Crymaria thought to herself as she started to approach the new arrival. </span><span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">"Hail Comrade, it is good to see another human in the group though I'm surprised the employer hired another," </span>Crymaria stated as she paused for a moment. <span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">"I am Comrade Crymaria and this is Comrade Borris," </span>Crymaria introduced herself as she motioned to the bear. <br>
<br>
Turning toward the Geisha Crymaria shrugged, <span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">"I don't see why we shouldn't visit the house to verify the story." </span>Crymaria concluded. <br>

Yukan of course had listened intently to the information they could gather regarding what had happened with this apparent terrorist attack or assassination plot, whatever you wanted to call it  and the connections they got from asking people questions. He tried his best to remain objective and collected, even as he heard the sobs of Sawazuki. He was well aware that she could have been a conspirator and was merely putting on a show. For Yukan's personal gain it might have been better interest to focus on the task at hand, but at the end of the day It was still Masanori's family who had to deal with the brunt of the security blunder. Mitsunari may have been problematic but Yukan's competitive nature got in the way of his better judgement and now he truthfully continued to feel bad for the lovely shrine Maiden he hadn't chosen thinking the way to wow leadership was to bring in a strange and powerful kitsune to assist them.<br>
<br>
Yukan looked around at the group in his proximity, after  thinking through and hearing everything out about what the best course of action was. With the facts at hand if there were really good people's lives at risk then Yukan didn't feel like he had much choice other than investigating the issue further at the house, it could be a key piece into finding out what was going on. Naturally he'd want to bring his actual spear with him this time around. Not having weapons beyond his claws had been somewhat problematic in the last events since it made it much harder for him to assist more directly in the moment.<br>
<br>
The tanuki then spoke up tapping into <b>Leadership F</b> once more, <br>
<br>
"With all of the data presented my inclination is that we should investigate Sawazuki-san's house , it is definitely an area of interest.  We must proceed with great caution, those who will be accompanying me on this travel should be combat ready should the need for it arise. It's become very apparent to me that at the moment we are in a serious situation of uncertainty, I am well aware that some of you were brought here, paid for another task entirely, but at the moment the security of our Republic's people is at risk, which triumphs the importance of leaving exactly on schedule for the hunt, particularly when members of our group were targeted by whatever foul play may be at hand." <br>
<br>
Yukan said straight and to the point. <br>
<br>
"I am however willing to hear out if anyone else would like to speak on the matter regarding our next course of action but this is where my mind is." He was certainly glad to hear that Crymaria was having similar thoughts to him nevertheless.</div>

Mention: N/A<br>
Location: Five Thousand Peony Blossoms, the Masanori Geisha House: Pond Area.​</div><br>
Even though, Maria was grinning like an idiot for finding the scaled beast on the tree during her first day on the job. Whiteclaw, on the other hand, had something else in mind. He wanted to know if she was able to track down the Gerbies, but due to how inexperienced she is. Maria had to tell him about not being able to find the Gerbies. <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)"><i>‘I wonder why they are looking for them?’</i></span><br>
Maria was thinking about that, because she doesn’t know what a Gerbie is. Whiteclaw only told her to look for a small creature with big eyes, look innocent, and have half-reptile and half-mammal features in which she would think of them as being ugly.<br>
<br>
Indicus then introduced himself as the forester scout and a cook before putting his hand to expect a handshake from her. This caused Maria to tilt her head for a bit from the strange land folk gesture, but she shook his hand with her wet right hand from swimming around in the pond. <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">“It’s a pleasure to meet you, Indicus, and we should go do that. Especially when they don’t know about me being the fifth yet.”</span><br>
After saying that to Indicus, Maria turned into her human form to set up her wheelchair and wooden bucket filled with water for her land trip. They are excited to meet the other three Whiteclaw had hired, since he kind of mentioned a bit about them before becoming his fifth.<br>
<i><span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">‘I can’t wait to see them, because I get to meet more land beasts like Whiteclaw and Indicus.’</span></i><br>
Her thoughts are just her being curious about the three people Whiteclaw hired, as she thinks they are going to become great friends with her.<br>
<br>

Human Form - (Transformation F): Maria gains the ability to have legs and lungs exchanged for her gills and mermaid tail in order to look like a human. Duration: 0/1</div>

</div></div></div>Bumming it out and not giving a damn was Choi's idea of living the dream, and with his apparent death, he got it. It was cool for the first few days, but eventually it got boring. It turned into more of a hassle than some kind of blessing. Obviously, an idle life, especially one where you lacked the appropriate resources, had its limits, and it took Choi over two weeks to realize this. Growing tired of living on the streets and off whatever scraps he could get his hands on, Choi decided that it was about time he got off his ass and made something of his new life.<br>
<br>
Wanting some much needed fresh air, both figuratively and literally, Choi left the confines of Ryken and headed wherever hitchhiking took him. With little to no cash, the most he could prepare for his journey was a comfy hooded cloak and some rations. Anything else he'd need, Choi hoped to get from whatever caravan that would take him.<br>
<br>
Choi was never the talkative type and only spoke when he needed something. For the most of his travels, he kept to himself - albeit the few moments he became curious with things that he saw - and simply offered his services as a bipedal pack mule to prolong his stay within the caravan.<br>
<br>
Eventually, his journey led him to the fur-filled republic. There, his talents were sought after. Well, kind off. They were in need of another heavy lifter for some sort of mission and fortunately, they didn't have that much of a choice. Choi didn't pry into the details of the work that was offered to him. As long as he got paid, he was fine with it.<br>
<br>
Following the instructions given to him, Choi found himself in the presence of a young girl and what looked to be a bear. Such a sight would have been surprising a few weeks earlier, but given everything Choi had seen, this was kinda mild.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Hey, girlie."</span> Since there weren't that many humans around, Choi thought that it would be best if they stuck together. <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"The name's Choi."</span> Choi didn't have the most friendly of faces and his voice along with his demeanor were not all that pleasant. Regardless the unideal impression he was giving off, Choi extended his hand towards Cry Maria for a handshake. <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"And, uh, nice bear ya got there." </span>His eyes briefly veered towards Borris.<br>
<br>
After a while, everyone who was anyone that was part of their little group had gathered. Though having seen several beastkin, Choi still found them strange. Borris was one thing, but he was just your typical bear. But the individual who was briefing them of their mission, he was like a talking bear. The republic was definitely an impressive place for someone like Choi. Paying more attention to Yukan's attire and how he looked like a bear and less on what he was saying, Choi didn't really understand what they were going to do or where they had to go. Not wanting to appear like an oaf, he decided to make his voice be heard when the opportunity was offered to him.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"I don't know about you guys, but I think comrade girlie hit the mark on what we gotta do. Kinda obvious if you ask me." </span>Choi crossed his arms that rested against his chest while his had cocked backwards. He had to appear smug to back up his words.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Indicus gave Maria a nod before following her to meet with the others. After hearing both Crymaria and Yukan speak along with the agreement of a human that was comparable to the bodyguards of the big gang leaders he did jobs for in his previous life, Indicus found no reason to object, "Sounds  interesting I'm with you guys." Indicus briefly thought about asking for a raise because of this extra work before dismissing the idea, for now having good will was more important doubly so in a country he had no backing or connections this would let him build a network that could serve him well in his hunt for his birth parents and possibly other activities.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Yukan’s team consisted of two units at this point. The scout unit was lead by Whiteclaw with two Owlkin archers, two Tengu shadow assassins, and Maria the water scout. The other unit was the logistics unit lead by Gyoubu despite the fact that Masanori had spent considerable assets recruiting everyone. This was because Masanori had leadership over a squad of spear units and Gyoubu held too much status not to command something. Given everything going on, Masanori recalled his unit to serve as his body guard. Having heard what transpired and not to be left out, Tadakatsu the most competent spearman, showed up with the remaining two spear units. The massive and indebted Daisuke came leading the unit most loyal to Yukan.<br>
<br>
In this way, the entire hunting party all 30 strong marched on Swazuki’s cabin, following and perhaps practicing for what’s to come. With so many assembled and marching through the streets, the hunting party was given a wide berth but attracted a fair amount of attention. Various Tanuki and even some festival attendees trailed in their wake.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1674928877255-png.1061373/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/998/998503-905dba960af1218098b0b00f38cbee59.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="5b9e5b45240000320053f370.jpeg" title="5b9e5b45240000320053f370.jpeg" width="200" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Swazuki’s cabin was tucked away on the outskirts of town. It was a suburban neighborhood for rice workers and day laborers. The cabins were spread out in this stretch to allow for managing the rice paddies. Despite her beauty and grace, her family appeared to be wandering vagabonds that settled to tend one of the Masanori family’s rice paddies only a few decades ago. They were poor laborers from the looks of the cabin.<br>
<br>
Whiteclaw deployed his unit to scout well before the arrival of the other units. Tadakatsu deployed his unit to one side and Masanori sent his spears to the other side. Behind over twenty onlookers gawked from further back. Daisuke and the rest of Yukan’s spears kept the gawkers from getting too close.<br>
<br>
Within was a terrible sight. In the middle of the cabin was a large hole, where the bamboo floor appeared to have burst apart and gone a foot deep. Dirt and bamboo chunks flew everywhere. Laid out around the floor were several male Tanuki of varying ages. It looked like three generations were present. All of the males had broken bones and blood leaking from compound fractures. Thier eyes were rolled up so only the whites of thier eyes were visible. Some of them no longer seemed to breath while others made shallow wet coughing sounds.<br>
<br>
Seven Tanuki females of varying ages were either trying to care for the males, crying and weeping, or just staring despondently at the door. The eldest female threw herself at the first person through the door, begging for aid.<br>
<br>
Gyoubu was still outside, flicking bits of dirt off of her robes. She seemed more interested in the state of the rice paddies and so had wandered over towards where Masanori and Whiteclaw were in a hushed discussion.</div>

Yukan kept his Yari on his back, this time carrying the real deal a far cry from his training one he had used not all that long ago. While he knew this might not have been the most strategic for the hunt but it felt like the right thing to do. They needed to figure out what exactly had happened, and what sort of treachery had occurred to cause something like that. Based on the destruction he could see it definitely didn't look like it had been fabricated, as far as something going arry with all of these people around and the shape the house and field was in. When Yukan saw the state of the Tanuki and family people all around the bodies of their loved ones he was quite surprised. It looked like the scene you'd expect to see  from the aftermath of a war. This was quite a bit.<br>
<br>
Tapping into<b> Leadership F </b>Yukan continued, "<b>Approach and interact with caution, we should do our utmost to secure the area, watch out for anything suspicious for all we know enemies are already in our midsts,  I do not want any sudden surprises like what transpired with the gerbies  earlier if we can avoid it.</b>" He spoke out clearly. so that those in his proximity could hear them, as he kept his distance from the group. Fortunately for Yukan it didn't seem anyone was charging in, except of course for Indicis, who was now in the house that could have very well have been rigged with a trap or something of the like should this have been an illusion, before getting too close himself he waited to see what happened with this interaction before intervening or letting it go as need be. <br>
<br>
<b>"Could I get a status on the injured and if any of them are still viable?" </b>He called out around him, unfortunately, he did not have skills to heal them, and he was unsure if they were all dead, or in some magical state or something. As he listened to what the woman was going to say to Indicus for further action.</div>

[Human]​</div><br>
Once everyone had gathered, the hunting party began to march forward. While the rest focused on their mission and the responsibilities given to each of them, Choi stayed in the back. Delegated to lugging around equipment and whatnot, he aimlessly watched the clouds pass by.  He was thankful that the weather was cooperative and the scenery that surrounding him was somewhat soothing. It was honestly boring, but he didn't mind. It seemed like an easy way to earn some cash. Unlike the armored and armed beastkin, the group Choi was assigned to was some sort of maiden given the fanciful attire she was donning.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Hey, comrade."</span> Choi leaned to his side, whispering to Crymaria as he picked his nose. <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Who's she?"</span> His lips pouted, pointing to Gyoubu. He didn't really pay that much attention to her, but seeing her wandering off and not really handling the unit she was assigned to lead, he wondered what her actual role was. <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Is she like a big deal?"</span><br>
<br>
Before he could continue with his idle chatting, Choi heard Yukan's commanding voice and caught a glimpse of the tragedy, or what was left of it, upfront. <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Damn. Those boys got wrecked."</span> He whistled, slightly impressed at the amount of violence that was probably made use of to injure that many beastkin.</div>

Crymaria strapped up Borris as the large bear was now loaded with the supplies. With that being done, the other human companion Choi didn't make the greatest first impression ever. So she kept close to the bear as the group went on their way. As they approached the cabin in question Crymaria looked around at the surroundings. She noticed a few of the locals though she figured there would be a bit more. Though she didn't expect the traveling party to be this large either. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">"Keep your ears open Comrade Borris, we might be surrounded by villagers though that doesn't mean we are exactly welcomed here either," </span>Crymaria whispered to the bear. As she noticed the locals in the area were looking at the door she cocked an eyebrow as she wasn't sure what was going to be on the other side of that door. As one of their party members rushed off to the cabin Crymaria stiffened for a second as she expected there to be a trap or something going off when that door was opened. <br>
<br>
As Yukan spoke Crymaria loosened the strap on the bear as she removed the supplies from Borris to let the bear be a bit more agile in case something happened. Plus she figured the bear would like a break from the weight it was carrying. She was focused more on protecting the supplies at the moment as she scratched the bear behind his ears as Choi once again spoke up asking questions about some members of the party. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">"Gyoubu, some kind of a shrine maiden I think, I don't really know much about her Comrade," </span>Crymaria replied as she saw Choi pick his nose. To which she started to look around the immediate area for anything of note. She was still concerned that there might be a trap like before but, who knows. <br>

[Human]​</div><br>
<span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"A shrine maiden? Thought so."</span> Choi spoke out loud as he flung the nugget he had mined from his nostril from his little finger. <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"What the hell are those?"</span> He pondered to himself. Choi didn't actually know what shrine maidens were, but that was as far as he'd go regarding that subject matter. He wasn't that hungry for knowledge in the first place. Though somewhat lax and uncaring, Choi couldn't help but notice that everyone was on their toes, being cautious and wary. He believed that mimicking such behavior was a above his pay grade. For now, he decided to stick around Crymaria and Borris. Aside from being under the same unit, both of them gave of an air of experience. Choi knew that they knew what they were doing. <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"I guess lugging around supplies and keeping in check fall under us too, huh?"</span> It was a slight complaint that needed to be vented out but disguised as a rhetorical question.<br>
<br>
Crouching down, Choi positioned himself into a deep squat with his legs a bit spread apart (similar to his image). <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Sucks to be them."</span> He scratched his lower back while waiting for something to happen.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Got any idea who did them dirty?"</span> Small talk wasn't the most appropriate thing given their situation, but Choi was someone who didn't know any better.<br>

			Within was a terrible sight. In the middle of the cabin was a large hole, where the bamboo floor appeared to have burst apart and gone a foot deep. Dirt and bamboo chunks flew everywhere. Laid out around the floor were several male Tanuki of varying ages. It looked like three generations were present. All of the males had broken bones and blood leaking from compound fractures. Thier eyes were rolled up so only the whites of thier eyes were visible. Some of them no longer seemed to breath while others made shallow wet coughing sounds.<br>
<br>
Seven Tanuki females of varying ages were either trying to care for the males, crying and weeping, or just staring despondently at the door. The eldest female threw herself at the first person through the door, begging for aid.<br>
<br>
Gyoubu was still outside, flicking bits of dirt off of her robes. She seemed more interested in the state of the rice paddies and so had wandered over towards where Masanori and Whiteclaw were in a hushed discussion.

			Indicus walked through the cabins door and had to force himself from gagging from the smell alone. He did not get much time to gawk before the eldest female threw himself at him, her pleading almost impossible to decipher. Indicus put a hand on the woman's shoulder and spoke calmly and quietly, "Slow down ma'am tell me what happened here from the beginning so my friends and I can see how we can best help you."

The old matriarch begged. Her joints creaked and popped. A line of tear streaked pink gunk ran down from both her eyes, sign that the geriatric tanuki had been crying for hours at least. “Please help them! She…” The old lady blinked and sniffled. “She broke all my boys!” She sniffled and cried all over Indicus. Her wet facial fur rubbing and nuzzling Indicus feet as she continued to beg and plead. She spoke about how a witch had come and lured the menfolk of the house to drink silver liquid and then their bodies started to break. The witch tortured them and would heal them with a kiss. <br>
<br>
Her story had some voracity to it. <br>
<br>
[ooc=“Indicus Survival Perception”] Indicus perceived some oddities in the room. The hole doesn’t appear to have been made with strength, rather there’s a warren of small tunnels under the house! Also something about the hole and the injuries to the men itches at a racial memory or perhaps at an early memory that is just out of reach…Finally, your danger sense is quiet.[/ooc]<br>

Gyoubu perked up from her conversation with Whiteclaw and Masanori. The trio walked back from behind the house towards Yukon. <br>

Masanori split off towards Crymaria and Hudson. Borris perked up now that the burden on his back was eased. Masanori nodded to Borris then looked Hudson up and down. “There’s a small harvest of rice in a crockpot back there. Less than it’s supposed to be.” He frowned and looked to Crymaria then back to Hudson. “Why don’t you gather it up and bring it with.”<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, Whiteclaw sniffed, gave a salute to Yukon and brought his group into the cabin. Whiteclaw and his people spread out. They inspected the injured but didn’t touch them. They looked around but became really interested in the pit. Through some light questioning, it came to light that the “witch” had stomped once in anger and created the hole. <br>
<br>
Gyoubu watched from near Yukon within eyesight of the interior of the cabin. With a gesture and a haiku, “Cherry blossoms bloom. The air is warm and sweet. Are you still viable?” The air grew sweet and warm as she whispered out her spell, cherry blossoms floated on the wind, swirling around inside the cabin. White-pink petals landed about the different tanuki males. Bones realigned and bruises faded, but the males still appeared weak and sickly.</div>

Yukan focused in on the matriarch curiously, listening with great discretion to what she had to say. It was a good thing so far that there didn't seem to be any sort of trap that had been set off, hopefully they weren't in yet another illusion like last time, with the types of enemies they were dealing with. "I'm terribly sorry to hear what you've had to go through.." Yukan said apologetically towards the ones who were grieving sounding. Truthfully it was a bit painful for him to look at, but he kept his serious expression even as it had soften some in that moment towards them, as he continued to look at them.<br>
<br>
"I will do everything in my power to make sure that the one who did this is brought to justice for what they have committed here." He spoke seriously. He meant every word of it, people who tortured the innocent like this needed to be dealt with swiftly, and he'd put an end to their wicked deeds personally if he had too.<br>
<br>
Yukan acknowledged  Whiteclaw back with the standard gesture of acknowledgement stepping over to make room for the group to get through if need be. He too was curious about the crater of sorts that had been made. Yukan turned to those around them. "Based on what she's told us it sounds like we  have a magic user on our hands.which could help explain why we've been seeing so many strange things. caution should be maintained during this investigation." He continued, serious sounding  to everyone who was present while they looked around.<br>
<br>
Upon seeing Gyobu come in and say her healing Haiku, Yukan looked to her and gave her a small bow of respect.<b> Republic of Kuridan Etiquette F</b> "Thank you Shrine Maiden Gyoubu,  your assistance once again is greatly appreciated."  "Do you have any sense on what on what could have caused their condition?" He kept focused on the task at hand. They needed to extract more information, but for the time being unless Indicus spoke up, the picture was incomplete despite the details. Since the Shrine Maiden was the most knowledgable one about magic there no doubt at the moment, he figured it was appropriate to ask incase she had a sense of the sort of enemy they could be up against.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Indicus saw the hole and thought he saw tunnels in the ground then there was the hole itself it was a bit too perfect the  wood around it was not strained from force pushing downward. It was like something shot through it rather then a simple stomp. Indicus walked over to the hole to take a closer look as he did his suspicions were confirmed it was not made by stomping and some sort of creature or creatures were borrowing tunnels in the ground under the house. Once more Indicus got a sense of familiarity from the sight before him the condition of the men and the hole it was similar to the feeling he got around the illusionary flames.<br>
<br>
Indicus shook his head of the thought for the moment deciding to think about it after they figured out more about this witch. "Everyone something is odd about the hole it was not made by stomping or physical force there isn't enough splintering in the wood. On top of that dose anyone know of small local wildlife that burrow? Something has been busy digging under the house as well. Last thing is I believe that the silver liquid is the same as the stuff that was involved in the attack yesterday."</div>

If Choi had to choose, he’d rather be bossed around than be left guessing what he had to do. Thinking wasn’t his strong point, but hitting and lifting were. Masanori wasn’t the most friendly of employers, and to be honest, he felt overcritical. But at the end of the day, he was stern and direct, which made Choi’s work less taxing. He felt Masanori's judgmental gaze and expression, but as a working man, he couldn't do much about it.<br>
<br>
Though his brow furrowed in annoyance, Choi still put on a smile and nodded to the beastman. <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"Gotcha, boss. Let good ol' Choi grab that crackpot for ya."</span><br>
<br>
From where he was, it didn't seem that much and looked like Choi alone would be enough for the task. <span style="color: rgb(250, 197, 28)">"You guys just rest up. We've still got a long way to go."</span> He turned to Crymaria and Borris before heading over to the harvested rice.<br>

			Yukan focused in on the matriarch curiously, listening with great discretion to what she had to say. It was a good thing so far that there didn't seem to be any sort of trap that had been set off, hopefully they weren't in yet another illusion like last time, with the types of enemies they were dealing with. "I'm terribly sorry to hear what you've had to go through.." Yukan said apologetically towards the ones who were grieving sounding. Truthfully it was a bit painful for him to look at, but he kept his serious expression even as it had soften some in that moment towards them, as he continued to look at them.

“Aye,” she said, bent over and about to fall apart herself from old age. It was clear she was one of the oldest Tanuki Yukan had ever seen. “Thank ye kindly youngster, most of your age think us rice pickers are no better than nose pickers! Ah eh ah!” She gave an odd chuckle, half insane. <br>

			Yukan acknowledged Whiteclaw back with the standard gesture of acknowledgement stepping over to make room for the group to get through if need be. He too was curious about the crater of sorts that had been made. Yukan turned to those around them. "Based on what she's told us it sounds like we have a magic user on our hands.which could help explain why we've been seeing so many strange things. caution should be maintained during this investigation." He continued, serious sounding to everyone who was present while they looked around.

Whiteclaw nodded and they continued their inspection of the interior. It was a very small hovel to contain over thirteen Tanuki. For those who hadn’t been raised amongst the well known houses it wasn’t all that uncommon. The story was confirmed and there was scant evidence besides the sunken hole that Indicus was inspecting. <br>

"Everyone something is odd about the hole it was not made by stomping or physical force there isn't enough splintering in the wood. On top of that dose anyone know of small local wildlife that burrow? Something has been busy digging under the house as well. Last thing is I believe that the silver liquid is the same as the stuff that was involved in the attack yesterday."

Whiteclaw and Ixtal perched nearby, squatting down and cocking their heads. They both inspected the hole alongside Indicus. <br>
<br>
”Mhmmm,” Whiteclaw muttered, a perplexed look on his owlish face. <br>
<br>
“It is as Longfeather said,” Ixtal shook her head, poking around at the holes. In diameter they were less than a foot, but it was hard to judge some the hole had collapsed three of the small tunnels. Still it was odd. <br>
<br>
“Mhmm,” Whiteclaw seemed quiet and withdrawn, “Most odd.” <br>
<br>
Ixtal grinned, “Most delicious if we could get a few more gerbies.” <br>
<br>
“They were all gone.” Whiteclaw shook his head, “They are all gone from here.” <br>
<br>
Ixtal nodded. “Too bad.” <br>

			Upon seeing Gyobu come in and say her healing Haiku, Yukan looked to her and gave her a small bow of respect.<b> Republic of Kuridan Etiquette F</b> "Thank you Shrine Maiden Gyoubu, your assistance once again is greatly appreciated." "Do you have any sense on what on what could have caused their condition?" He kept focused on the task at hand. They needed to extract more information, but for the time being unless Indicus spoke up, the picture was incomplete despite the details. Since the Shrine Maiden was the most knowledgable one about magic there no doubt at the moment, he figured it was appropriate to ask incase she had a sense of the sort of enemy they could be up against.

Gyoubu shrugged. “Our girl drank a potion and they are talking about the same.

The return of the Gerbie is probably unrelated, as legend says they are good natured peace keepers…before they were hunted to extinction.” Gyoubu cracked a smile and nodded towards Whiteclaw, “By the ancestors of the Ryozo clan.” She shook her head. <br>

Masanori nodded, patting the much bigger Choi on the back. “Good lad.” Before Masanori wandered off to check in with the others inside the hut. “Bring the rice.” <br>
<br>
Walking over to the hut, Masanori surveyed the situation, “So, the family was used as leverage to get the girl to assassinate me.” <br>
<br>
“No!” Sawazuki struggled from her shackles and the clutches of two Yari soldiers in training. “She said he’d find it funny!”<br>
<br>
”Eh?” Masanori whirled, “Funny? You nearly killed me and my men!” <br>
<br>
“Him!” She said, her eyes locked on Indicus. <br>
<br>
All eyes turned to <b>Indicus</b>. “Him?!” Many said in a chorus. Spears were lowered and arrows raised towards the potential assassin hiding in their midst all along.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Indicus watched the scene unfold around him and as soon as the captured geisha looked at him and spoke his eyes widened in surprise the flaring of his danger sense knocked him out of his stupor  as he watched all the guards point weapons at him. Experiences with guards wanting him dead from his past told him misunderstanding or not to get the hell out of an encirclement of pointy sticks then he could try and defend his position when he was not a nervous guard away from being a reptile skewer.<br>
<br>
So Indicus looked up <b>(Perception F) </b>and found a slight weakness in the fragile roof, braced himself and Jumped <b>(Jumping F)</b>. His experiences,  instincts, and durable body <b>(Survival F+ Strength E+ Precision D + Vitality F+ Natural armor F (light))</b> letting him move his body in the best way to break through the roof and land on top.<br>
<br>
Now out of direct line of sight of most of the bowmen and spears Indicus shouted "I'm not the damn assassin." Indicus snorted a wisp of blue and silver flame coming from his nostrils and the corners of his mouth it was then the memories of the familiarity of the illusory flame silver flames at that, then the more recent familiarity of the ailing men in the house. <b>(DM's "subtle" hints F + Perception F + Intelligence E )</b><br>
<br>
Indicus cursed at not connecting it together even a little before as he thought he couldn't help but chuckle "I fucking think it get it now, what a damn joke it is.  Whoever is trying to kill ya boss somehow knows about or is connected to me I have no fucking clue how exactly as I know nobody here or even back at Ryken very well but they are leaving breadcrumbs. I didn't mention it before but the silver shit spewing that illusory flame felt oddly familiar in an instinctual way and the same feeling is buzzing in my head here. Cocky bitch either knows we won't find her or doesn't care and wants us or at least me to so they leave magical traces that cause some sort of feeling of familiarity."<br>
<br>
Indicus couldn't help as his chuckle turned to dark laughter  "I don't care what you all think of this little revelation of mine but I'm gonna chase after this bitch with or without you so fire me if you wish Masanori but I'm not gonna die here."<br>

OOC: TLDR: Indicus got out of way of pointy sticks by finding weakness in<b> (Perception F)</b> and jumping through the roof <b>(Survival F+ Strength E+ Precision D + Vitality F+ Natural armor F (light))</b><br>
<br>
Indicus then put brain to use and through deductive reasoning guessed why the witch mentioned him  <b>(DM's "subtle" hints F + Perception F + Intelligence E )</b><br>
<br>
Indicus let out crazy laugh stopped giving a shit about his employment status or bosses (Masanori) alive status  and swore hell or high water to find the "I'm uncultured" and "ask" some questions</div>

Crymaria glanced over at Choi as he was digging in his nose as she had a disgusted look on her face. Glancing back over at Comrade Borris she let out a sigh. <span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">"Nope, no idea probably the same people that caused a stir back at the compound. But yeah our job is to get the supplies to the destination. So we just have to make sure we don't get attacked from the rear," </span>Crymaria stated as she turned around to face the opposite direction. <br>
<br>
Needless to say Choi was not making the greatest impression on her at all. As Choi spoke up again she didn't bother to turn around to face him. <span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">"Just stay close by and don't be careless, that's when you are as good as dead comrade," </span>Crymaria stated as she folded her arms across her chest looking around the area scanning for anything rushing toward them at the very least.<br>
<br>
Reaching out she started to pet Borris between the bear's ears for a few moments. <span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">"Have you guys found anything yet?" </span>Crymaria called back over her shoulder toward the hut as she saw several of them going in but she hadn't seen anyone come back out quite yet.  <br>

Yukan looked over at the old woman, and gave her a small bow with <b>Republic of Kuridan Etiquette F </b>out of respect for her age. He felt bad seeing such an elder having to experience these awful things as there was definitely a frailty to her which reminded him that life was not infinite for a many in the realm. "Part of serving this Republic is serving the interests and benefit of the  people, to me all of Kuridan's citizens deserve that much." he continued, sounding serious remaining calm unaware of what was about to unfold.<br>
<br>
Yukan then continued to watch what was unfolding with the investigation curiously, as Whiteclaw moved around. Hopefully they'd be able to catch this person before another day would pass there had to be something here that could give them a better idea of what was going on. Yukan perked up some when he heard Indicus make those connections. That was most useful actually. But it was most curious just the same.<br>
<br>
He tuned in to what the shrine maiden had to say. Despite her line of reasoning he was curious if the Gerbie weren't playing a larger role than they thought. Why did they keep showing up where ever this person was? Legend and tradition were important of course, but what if they were under the influence of whoever was committing these egregious acts and assisting them somehow? After she spoke her piece he nodded.<br>
<br>
Suddenly everything started getting tense again when he heard one of the main  suspects Sawazuki placed blame on Indicus.<br>
<br>
Yukan stood once more, completely understanding why Indicus was upset.<b> "Halt." </b>Yukan raised his voice once more with <b>Leadership F. </b> <b> "</b>We cannot be too hasty in our assessment of this situation, I have a strong feeling that whoever is behind this is trying to sow seeds of doubt among us so that we focus on fighting with ourselves. What has happened up until this point from the Gerbie, knowing very well that we'd be at odds with one another, and now we have Sawazuki, a dubious source at best, claiming that Indicus was involved? Or even the illusion in the attack earlier, ALL of it, has been to put us at odds with another another." He spoke giving his analysis of the situation. He  then heard Crymaria call out. "Someone tell those still outside what's been going on here." <br>
<br>
"Instead of playing into her hand and fighting amongst ourselves, we need to go through the details." He'd then turn to the one who started the drama to begin with. "And I suppose with this claim, you have sufficient backstory to back up it up? Simply stating it as if Indicus's  connections he made through his extrasensory abilities's which I will remind all of you MANY of our ancestors have; implicates him, isn't good enough for me and it shouldn't be for all of you." he said matter of fact walking up closer to her with a stern serious expression.</div>

Choi couldn't tell whether his employer liked him or not, but chose not to ponder on the thought too much. At the end of the day, what was important was getting paid. Seeing as Crymaria had her eyes focused elsewhere, with hands resting atop his head, Choi nonchalantly made his way to the rice that Masanori tasked him to fetch. He was a glorified pack mule, but he was fine with that. "A job's a job. And the easier it is, the better." He talked to himself, as if giving himself a mild pep talk.<br>
<br>
Reaching over for the large crackpot and lifting it overhead before resting it on top of his shoulders wasn't all too hard. It had a bit of heft to it, but it wasn't something that Choi found overly difficult. It gave him an excuse to get his body moving since he'd been lazing around for most of the day.<br>
<br>
Glancing at Crymaria and Borris momentarily, he noticed that they were preoccupied with their own things. "Nah. No point in botherin' them." With a skip to his step, Choi headed towards where Masanori had went. He wasn't to keen on what was happening among the guards, so it came as a surprise to him to see everyone seemingly on the edge and with their guards up.<br>
<br>
"....Uh. Do ya guys need some rice?" He awkwardly asked.</div>

Indicus snorted a wisp of blue and silver flame coming from his nostrils and the corners of his mouth it was then the memories of the familiarity of the illusory flame silver flames at that, then the more recent familiarity of the ailing men in the house. <b>(DM's "subtle" hints F + Perception F + Intelligence E )</b>

Whiteclaw cocked his head, "And in proving your innocence you've destroyed these people's hut!"<br>
<br>
"Our home!" wailed the elderly matron and several of the other female tanuki rice workers. The males were still in a daze, staring hollowly at all the weapons drawn and the giant hole in their meager roof.<br>
<br>
Indicus managed to find purchase, but he found the wisps of blue and silver flame fell like hungry children reaching out emaciated hands for the dry thatch roof. Thankfully none of the wisps survived the two feet it would take or the entire place would go up in flames! Still his actions had drawn all attention to him. Even the spear minion Tanuki outside watched and rattled their spears eager to finally put them to use!<br>

What has happened up until this point from the Gerbie, knowing very well that we'd be at odds with one another, and now we have Sawazuki, a dubious source at best, claiming that Indicus was involved?

Before anything could spiral out of place, Yukan reasserted command. He was the anointed and agreed upon leader. <br>
<br>
Still an impression had been made and while his words found purchase in the minds of those around and weapons were lowered, a perceptive person could see that somehow Indicus actions had left a bad taste in many.<br>
<br>
“Ha!“ Tadakatsu, a well liked, pureblood from one of the 3rd branch families of the main clan spoke up. Amongst the soldiers, he was the best at the spear. He was the one who had spent the day training all three units of spear minions and that experience had endeared him to them all. "Does the innocent man flee at first accusation? Must we accept such dishonor against our unit as to encourage desertion at first sign of hardship?"<br>

<br>
Indicus couldn't help as his chuckle turned to dark laughter "I don't care what you all think of this little revelation of mine but I'm gonna chase after this bitch with or without you so fire me if you wish Masanori but I'm not gonna die here."

Gyoubu shrugged. "It's not unreasonable what he says." Even she appeared less than enthusiastic at Indicus' hasty upward retreat. Still the effectiveness of Indicus movements might have saved him from taking an arrow or spear. "Whomever is at play, Yukan needs a Hill Toad." She looked at Yukan with a faint smile that turned into a frown.<br>
<br>
Whiteclaw nodded, "It might..." he trailed off, cocking his head to the side.<br>

 Ixtal seemed to sense something as well and frowned, reaching for two knives which the other tengu shadow assassin mirrored. The pair moved towards the doorway.<br>

Choi's massive body completely blocked the doorway, obscuring anything going on outside. The massive pottery containing the rice was held easily on one of his shoulders. <br>
<br>
Ixtal and the other shadow assassin snorted. They cocked their heads to the side. <br>
<br>
Masanori groaned, rubbing his temples. His eyes flickered up towards Choi and then back towards Indicus. <br>
<br>
“Ha!“ Tadakatsu shouted, "Masanori your choice in staffing the logistics core is as bad as Yukan's judge of character. What is this now the second poor choice the pair of you have made in as many days!" Many of the spear minions were nodding and responding to Tadakatsu's unrelenting direct feedback on the situation. "Regardless of whether or not this whole situation is a distraction. We should have left last night and been on our way!" He nodded towards Choi, "At least he has the right idea. Let's requisition what supplies we need from the common folk and be on our way!" <br>

"Yes!" Sawazuki the Tanuki Geisha said, on her knees, hands clasped. Her wide eyes and lips dripped seductive innocence ((e<i>ffectiveness 7</i>)).

The other female Tanuki from Sawazuki's family of various ages clamored to Sawazuki's defense, agreeing in every possible way so much so that it was hard to make out the individual attestations. Even the males who had gone through unspeakable torture, bones broken countless times until they became catatonic, at least nodded and drooled their agreement. They all fell to their knees and bellies pleading for everyone to believe their dear, sweet Sawazuki. <br>
<br>
"See!" Tadakatsu said, "Even Masanori's employees cast doubt upon the dragon kin. What sort of judgement have you, Yukan, that you would so quickly distrust a Tanuki over Gaijin who destroys property to evade his accusations?" <br>

A few of the bystanders drew closer from afar, drawn in by the commotion and explosion in the roof of the hut. Indicus cut quite the figure as he stood upon the roof heaving flaming spittle, shouting his defense. It was for that reason that Crymaria was in a unique position as she wasn't as drawn into the drama amongst the Tanuki. <br>
<br>

		</div>
	</div>
</div><br>
Suddenly and it's not obvious because everyone is focused on Indicus, but the roof of the hut begins to smoke and catch fire! The fire is greedy and hungry, starting from somewhere near Indicus...it's hard to say unless you were outside and not particularly paying attention to the drama happening inside and through the door. The result though is quick and immediate. Flames quickly spread as the hut is little more than thatch and bamboo. Smoke pools and flame descends down. Is this another illusion? It's hard for those who had just experienced to tell, but the heat feels hot. The smoke rapidly filling up the interior of the hut makes it hard to disbelieve this as anything other than real! The weaker and older Tanuki began to cough. <br>
<br>
<b>OOC</b><br>
I think everyone but Crymaria and Borris are outside the hut at this point, all the other major unit leaders and logistics core is in or on the hut. I could be wrong. Act accordingly!</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Indicus darkly chuckled. "I'm not proving my innocence here I'm declaring it. As for the home I have some money I saved and even earned during my trip from Ryken I'll pay for the roof and floor to be restored that is of no problem." Indicus knew he was now not very well liked and had to respect Yukan for speaking up if not in his defense at least in the notion that all the facts are unknown and the one involved was still out there.<br>
 <br>
Indicus looked at the spearman that questioned Yukan with astonishment at the sheer stupidity of the statement. "Does the innocent man flee at first accusation." Indicus repeated in a very mocking tone.  "Have you not noticed the fucking spears and bows you point at me. You all were a hares breath away from turning my scaly ass into a skewer. I decided to reduce the risk of that happening. As for your notion of honor, I am not of this land I am at the end of the day a hired hand or mercenary if you will. As such I refuse to play fucking twenty questions about my innocence while I voluntarily help with an investigation I am earning nothing from nor was hired to enact so with all do respect, go fuck yourself kind sir." <br>
<br>
Indicus sighed and his voice softened. "Look here, I really don't care how much you all believe me and I will deal with the accusations and questioning after one we find this witch and I get some questions answered and two after I finish the job I was hired to do. Thanks for the support Yukan but it is pointless with this crowed they already have found me guilty <br>
It was then Indicus' Danger sense alerted him he stepped to the side to avoid the arrow though it was pointless as it was not aimed at him but near him as he did <b>(Perception F+Danger sense F + Precision F)</b> he thought he saw in the forest from where the arrow came from some of the bushes still shaking and not from the wind. <br>
<br>
It was then moments after the arrow landed he noticed the arrow and fire around it and shouted "Fire! Get out of the building!" Indicus felt that had to be enough and quietly made his way to Yukan <b>(Stealth F+ undetected sound F+ Precision D)</b>  who was a bit further back outside of the hut. It was to him Indicus quietly spoke. "Yukan I sensed danger from the direction of forest over there before afire arrow hit the roof I'm going to try and find the archer help here and act as if you just saw me running away to the woods. <br>
<br>
With that said Indicus once more used the confusion to slip away and sprinted to the woods where the arrow came from. <b>(Stealth F+ undetected (sound) F+ Precision D+ Fast F) </b>Once In the woods he started tracking down the bowman.  Indicus made sure to leave obvious tracks to follow while keeping himself hidden from his prey the, dark of the forest not posing any problem to the Dragonborn <b>(Survival F + Stealth F + Undetected (sound) F + Precision F + Dark vision)</b><br>

<br>
There they were again in great conflict. He was glad that he managed to stop Indicus or someone else from getting hurt at the very least.  As if on cue there was Tadakatsu there again very obviously jockeying for the position once more. He was becoming even more of a problem than Masanori had been initially. If anything this third member had the potential to sway things in his favor since he had spent time training the units and now was trying to make himself look better than Yukan in this great time of need. Frankly it displeased Yukan. Yukan had been around long enough to know what he was trying to do. Of course Indicus inadvertly jumping up and damaging the roof wasn't going to help his or Indicus's case any, but he fully understood the reaction even if it wasn't in line with Republic of Kuridan culture. Yukan knew that he needed to keep it together and not get goaded by his words. This of course did not mean that Yukan didn't now how to clap back to so speak if needed. He kept his attention on Tadakatsu while he spoke.<br>
<br>
Hearing Indicus lash out that way wasn't the most helpful for him winning the crowd over, but it was a reasonable reaction for the foreigner to have, he did not share their customs.<br>
<br>
Yukan then  looked to the shrine maiden as she spoke that much was true he needed to get the toad. As he gave her a slight nod.<br>
<br>
He heard Tadakatsu speak up once more, sure Mitsunari had not been the correct choice, that much was clear, but Masanori's blunder had been pretty dangerous, putting his whole family into question about how secure their building of operation was. What Tadakatsu said next however, almost made Yukan's serious expression shift to one of disscontempt , some might say rage even, but he restrained it from being so, keeping the serious one. He had thought Tadakatsu was better than this. His words were making him out to be almost as bad as Masanori. He couldn't let someone with this mind set take the position that much was true. Tadakatsu was really content, to let whatever this evil was, ravage the the land and torture these innocent people just so that he had a better chance of promoting himself? Was he really that corrupt. take the resources after all the men had been severely injured from these people because they could just so they could be on their merry way and forget everyone here who had suffered so much? Yukan clenched his fists.<br>
<br>
After that as Yukan conjured his response,  things became too convenient for Yukan's liking. Something was up with Sawazuki and everyone suddenly coming to her defense it was almost..unnatural, perhaps she wasn't as innocent as she had made herself out to be, Yukan's eyes narrowed as she spoke. Certainly she was attractive, Yukan wouldn't deny that, and as innocent as she appeared outwardly, all of this together was too much for Yukan to overlook.<br>
<br>
As Tadakatsu spoke back and questioned his judgment he clapped back with <b>Republic of Kuridan Etiquette F</b> and <b>Republic of Kuridan Culture F</b>. "Tadakatsu, I meant all the kind words which I said earlier, but you sincerely mean to tell me you expect a  gaijin to know  all of our ways?"<br>
<br>
"Not only that you're content on gathering supplies where we stand, after these people have been tortured and moving along like nothing happened to them?" He said now with a tone that was on the precipice of malice, dancing between the lines.<br>
<br>
"And you call yourself an ancestor of our family's esteemed royalty? From what I can tell this foreigner here, is more willing to stay and stop the evil who is causing this, and yourself? Where is your desire to stop this evil, Tadakatsu? If I didn't know any better I'd say you were valuing the success of a cultural event over the livelihood of our very citizens who we swore to serve. I'll allow all of you to make your own judgements on that. But until there is more evidence than just word of mouth accusations with good judgment how can we make this assertion?"  Knowing fulll well this was going to cause tension but wanted it to be heard. Men like Tadakatsu who acted noble but then acted like this when it came time to make decisions really made Yukan upset.<br>
<br>
Unfortunately part of Yukan thought that what Indicus said was true, but he was glad that Indicus appreciated it no less.<br>
<br>
As Yukan was about to continue, suddenly a fire broke out, causing Indicus to yell it, he immediately looked up  and saw the burning. Suddenly Indicus was moving rapidly again and got close enough to speak to him quietly, as he heard him speak. It was all very surprising, but he made out what the reptile wanted to share with him.<br>
<br>
He tapped into <b>leadership F</b> <b>"Everyone remain calm, escort the civilians out of the building, help the injured and elderly  and leave the building in an orderly fashion. I just saw Indicus make a run for it towards the woods, It is priority that once we have  dealt with the flames and secured this area we go after him."  </b><br>
<br>
Yukan stated loudly and authoritatively. This was bad news, what if Sawazuki slipped away during all of this? Yukan went over to assist the injured himself first and foremost, trying his utmost to prevent a panic as that was a way people were going to get hurt. He really  hoped that Indicus knew what was talking about since this action didn't exactly make him look innocent.</div>

As Ceylan was on his way home from Bishi, stopping by Ryken for some business first, he got word from one of the priests in Kuridan. Well, the equivalent of a priest in Kuridan, at least. Although he was eager to visit the Holy City of Vegard again, he knew it was also pretty valuable to increase his ties to the other established religious entities within the Republic, so he decided to heed the call. Then again, the request was rather odd. Ceylan hadn't got a clue how to 'low profile' himself, but perhaps there would be a first for anything? He'd try, at the least. <br>
<br>
As he was on his way to meet up with the man who'd asked for him, however, he noticed there was smoke coming from somewhere. To his surprise, he soon found a crowd of around 30 people watching something... a hunt in some rice fields, on fire. For a moment the bystander effect kicked in, making him stand and watch along with the rest of them. Then he snapped out of it, as he swore he saw some movements there. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>&lt;Wait, aren't people some still in there? We should help them!”&gt;</b></span> He called out, some [Empathy F] seeping through in his voice whilst he tried Scanning the Mood (F). <br>
<br>
He wasn't sure why they weren't helping, was there something else going on? He figured he'd focus for a bit, relying on his Divine Senses (F) to figure if he could pick up on something. Still, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing, regardless of what he'd learn from what was happening. Regardless of what he'd learned, he would head over to the hut to see if there were people in need of his aid.<br>

Crymaria continued to be on her guard as she wasn't sure if they were entirely alone. After all, this could have been a rouse to get them to come out here. To which she couldn't rule out, turning her head back around to speak she noticed the others had gone onto into the hut or had spread out to do whatever they were doing. <br>
<br>
As she turned her head to look in front of her she caught movement out of the corner of her eye. Looking in that direction she noticed one of the bystanders going into the corpse of trees to which she cocked an eyebrow. <span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">"Comrade Borris, we might have company soon keep an eye out," </span>Crymaria stated. <br>
<br>
As she saw the arrow fly out of the trees she knew that probably wasn't a good sign, she turned to look in the direction of the others. <span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">"Hey Comrades! There is something going on out here! Some kind of signal just went off or something!" </span>She called out to the group. <br>

			As Crymaria turned her head to look in front of her, she caught movement out of the corner of her eye. Looking in that direction she noticed one of the bystanders going into the corpse of trees to which she cocked an eyebrow. "Comrade Borris, we might have company soon keep an eye out," Crymaria stated.

Borris rose up, stretching. He brought his two great forepaws, studded in giant claws before him in a boxer's pose. He opened his mouth in a half-yawn half-roar, low and guttural.<br>

The smoke wrapped about him as if it was greeting an old friend, and Indicus seemed to disappear. There were calls of alarm, but the roar of the flames were more of a distraction. Indicus snuck through the smoke filled area around the hut and slipped into the copse of trees nearby. Inside, his eyes adjusted to the gloom, and he could see a shadowy figure putting a crossbow into a small bag. Somehow as the large crossbow approached the small bag it shrunk until it could be easily dropped within. The shadowy figure placed the pouch back on a nice, toad skin belt. The pouch itself, Indicus realized as he got closer, was fashioned to looked more like a Hill Toad tadpole. Such fashion was both distributing and common, especially this close to the Cherry Blossom Festival. So while It was a memorable accessory, it wouldn't distinguish someone in a crowd.<br>

There was a moment of panic rippling through the people, but all the military folk responded well to Yukon's commands and their own discipline. The Tanuki rice farming family; however, went insane. They were already broken people and their hut was now rapidly burning up around them. They'd be left with nothing and the most dangerous thing is to take everything away from someone.<br>
<br>

			Yukan stated loudly and authoritatively. This was bad news, what if Sawazuki slipped away during all of this? Yukan went over to assist the injured himself first and foremost, trying his utmost to prevent a panic as that was a way people were going to get hurt. He really hoped that Indicus knew what was talking about since this action didn't exactly make him look innocent.

Yukan's example forestalled Masanori and the others from more insurrection and forced everyone to follow his example. The biggest obstacle was Choi, but once spurred into action the big fella helped to haul out several of the injured farmers. In doing so, unfortunately, the brittle pot he'd gathered the farmers rice in was dropped. The rice spilled out everywhere, but at least everyone seemed to make it out of the hut with only minor singed hair and smoke inhalation. The coughing and foul smell of burnt hair faded after Gyoubu conjured more sweet smelling flowers and a fine sprint mist over everyone. It took twenty seconds but everyone was mended up and back in good health. Alas the hut itself wasn't fairing very well.<br>

			As he was on his way to meet up with the man who'd asked for him, however, he noticed there was smoke coming from somewhere. To his surprise, he soon found a crowd of around 30 people watching something... a hunt in some rice fields on fire. For a moment the bystander effect kicked in, making him stand and watch along with the rest of them. Then he snapped out of it, as he swore he saw some movements there. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>&lt;Wait, aren't people some still in there?

Ceylan's words were like a bucket of hot water. The words themselves echoed with the cries of pain and loss that poor, downtrodden rice farmers felt. The farmers had been tortured by a force much stronger then them until they were broken and one of them forced to vomit all over people, probably ruining her career and the only meaningful amount of income outside of rice farming that the family had. Now the family was hopelessly ruined in every way possible. And each of the 30 people in the crowd felt this deep in their souls.<br>
<br>
The mood had been a mixture of interest at seeing was Yukan and his group were up to. There were pockets of people eager to see him or another member (mostly Masanori) fail. There were rivals and tatter tales in the crowd. There were also random people just drawn to a spectacle, outsiders come to the fair and eager to see something interesting. Finally there were neighbors who were filled with a mixture of the deep bonds of reciprocity that bound the community of rice farming families together.<br>
<br>
Most interestingly of all, in the midst of the crowd, was an fresh water octopus girl named Yu Vu Tu. Yu was a Lady of the Lake, its waters rushed to fill her every wish. If anyone had known or realized that Yu was there, they would have fallen on their knees, because Yu was insanely powerful. Yu could, if she wanted to, call for the vast Lake to rise up in a Tsunami thousands of feet into the air. Yu was just visiting the Cherry Blossom festival incognito for that very reason. She had on a dark blue silk robe and had really just followed along out of curiosity. She'd only arrived the evening before and she'd been visiting a friend at the Five Thousand Peony Blossoms, the Masanori Geisha House. She'd actually gotten into the courtyard ad spent sometime with Borris that night  listening to the beautiful music there. So she'd been interested in and followed along. She was one of the bystanders swayed by Ceylan's empathetic plea. Now enough to reveal her identity, but enough to flick her fingers at the hut and cause a hundred balls water, each about the size of a bucket of water, to materialize above the hut and splash down upon the hut. It was in this way that the fire in the hut was put out exactly thirty seconds after it had happened. Only someone who was looking at the right moment with magical or divine senses would have noticed...<br>
<br>

			Ceylan wasn't sure why they weren't helping, was there something else going on? He figured he'd focus for a bit, relying on his Divine Senses (F) to figure if he could pick up on something. Still, he couldn't just stand by and do nothing, regardless of what he'd learn from what was happening. Regardless of what he'd learned, he would head over to the hut to see if there were people in need of his aid.

			<div class="bbCodeBlock-content">He looked not with his eyes but with his soul, the spark of divinity that was a flame was reduced once more to a spark, but still that spark shed light on the unseeable. It was dimmer than he was used to, but keeping a low profile had its downsides. He was sure, his soul told him so, that if he shown his full light there was so much more he could see! Still, he glimpsed a darkness near them. No it was beneath them! It was like a poisoned vein in the world. Ceylan wasn't a scholar but he had the intuition and affinity with magic to be familiar with the ley lines of this world. They were denser here, something he'd been aware of on his travels. His knowledge of healing and the flow of blood in the body created a synergy in his understanding of the situation. The black vein ran from under the crowd, through the hut and snaked like an angry worm off in the distance.</div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div><br>
Set into motion, the rest of the crowd surged forward to help. An additional 30 people ran forward. Seventy-four people or so milled about, trying to help or just get in the way. It was madness once more. The rice was kicked around and covered in ash anyway, until it was just a pile of mush. The farmer's hut was burnt but most of it remained, just a large hole in the roof and the smell of smoke was everywhere. As things settled down, Yukan's units slowly formed back up. Or at least they formed clumps. <br>
<br>
Meanwhile the rice farmers from nearby helped and comforted the Tanuki who's hut had nearly burned down and been tortured. Sawazuki was no where to be seen, or at least it wasn't immediately obvious where she was.</div>

<br>
Yukan wished that he hadn't had to resort to the verbal back and forth but he couldn't well let the other Tanuki continue to just say what he pleased to suit his agenda, now not only was this group of civilians tortured, but their home was quite literally burning away, and all Yukan could do was try to save their lives. Just the audacity of Tadakatsu to suggest that leaving this severe security risk to Kuridan in their administrative region and that  they seize the rice after all that these poor civilians  had gone through had rubbed him the wrong way and it couldn't be helped. What if the threat came back and tortured again or worse killed civilians?<br>
<br>
He would have thanked the shrine maiden for the assist if his mind wasn't so preoccupied with what was unfolding before them. Yukan wanted to cringe at the pot breaking with the rice in it, but now wasn't the time for that, they had to secure the area once again, which was becoming increasingly more difficult it felt. As more people started to gather around the area it became increasingly more difficult for them to secure it as more opportunities to slip away into the crowd became apparent. There was still the unresolved Indicus situation, and now Yukan's worst fears were confirmed in that the primary suspect wasn't anywhere that was obvious to be seen.<br>
<br>
After he had done his part to help the civilians out he had just been about to call to action for them to try to put the fire out, but When Yukan was in the central position among the people who had come over and he winced upon seeing the rice get destroyed, he noticed that the fire was already out somehow? He wasn't aware of anyone there who was capable of using magic to do something like that. What was going on? It couldn't have been an illusion could it have been? No the burn damage was very real..as he could see.<br>
<br>
"Suijin could that..possibly be your doing? Thank you.." Yukan bowed slightly, speaking softly, thinking divine intervention was a possible scenario, he figured he would thank the god irrespectively since it was his water that let it be put out, unaware of what had really transpired, regardless as people started to group he continued with<br>
 <b>Leadership F</b> and <b>Republic of Kuridan Etiquette F </b><br>
<br>
Yukan raised his voice over the chaos to demand attention from the now grouped up units.<br>
<b>"Even in times of chaos we must maintain order! </b>Our next objective is securing this area. I know that many of you are here for a hunt, but this has become a matter of Kuridan security. We cannot allow this threat to remain free.  The fire and destruction in it's wake has proven that much. There are many people here who are vulnerable. Tadakatsu, as one of our most skilled spearmen  I want you  and your men to make sure that the people here remain safe and that the area is secured, you are best suited for this defensive and if need be offensive task should the threat show up. And whatever you think regardless, Sawazuki is no where to be seen and is still a primary suspect." Even if Yukan had been fighting with him just earlier he still knew which tasks were best to delegate he thought.<br>
<br>
<br>
Yukan then turned to the beautiful one once more, "Shrine Maiden Gyoubu and logistics core,  assist and operate as you see fit."<br>
<br>
<br>
"Whiteclaw and scout company come with me, we need to go find Indicus who ran off in the woods towards a potential primary suspect threat and you are all the most suitable for this task."<br>
<br>
"Is all of this understood?"<br>
<br>
Yukan did his best to use assertive language to show that he was in fact still in charge and if they had a problem with it they'd have to just deal with it, they were going to do things his way, and it seemed like trying to run things more like a democracy hadn't worked as well as he liked previously.<br>
<br>
Yukan then got ready to head towards the way that Indicus ran, still  unaware of Ceylan's influence on the situation that had unfolded that seemed so mysterious.</div>

Ceylan wasn't sure how or why, but he was grateful that his words had their desire impact. With people moving to help, he felt a sense of comfort come over him. Even though he, too, was rushing towards the blazing fire. However, when she spotted what happened, he halted in his tracks for a moment. He wasn't sure who this was, but the unexpected aid was baffling him. Still, he'd only barely picked up on this, so his mind quickly realised that was likely for a reason. Without drawing too much attention, he'd give her a short bow and offered her a silent <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Thank you.”</b></span> whilst the others were focussed on the recently extinguished fire. His tail was a little more honest, as it was swaying around vividly when he bowed towards her.<br>
<br>
Then he left to check up on those that made it out of the building. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I'll be alright.”</b></span> He spoke, as he approached. Using a [Soothing Aura E] to calm down the worst victims and help them deal with the smoke in their lungs. One particular victim seemed more wounded than others (the one that'd been tortured) and although Ceylan knew not where his wounds came from, he was sure to include that Tanuki in the targets for his [Soothing Aura], hoping that every little bit he could offer would aid these people.<br>
<br>
That said, he'd felt something else. Something wrong. He wished he could learn more, but now that he knew he wasn't alone in trying to stay on the down-low, he felt compelled to try harder. His good boy desires to help without holding back struggling with his good boy desire to obey the request he'd been given. It was already a dilemma to him, but for now, he would attempt help out as much as he could without overextending. <br>
<br>
Still, that left the odd feeling. He looked around, then spotted someone commanding the others. A particular Tanuki that seemed military. With no better alternative, Ceylan decided to approach him. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Excuse me, sir.”</b></span> He'd waited for Yukan to have finished giving orders before speaking up, but when he did, he'd sound like he needed the latter's attention urgently. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Forgive me if I'm speaking out of turn, for I am highly unfamiliar with this situation. However, I can sense something strange about the magic in this place. It concerns me deeply, so whilst I do not know your purpose here, I would beg for your assistance to aid me in investigating where it leads.”</b></span> He was truly hoping he wasn't pushing some boundaries by approaching an official like this, but at the same time, with some Empathy F / Persuasion F, he'd make sure his concern was carried over as genuinely yet strongly as possible. <br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Upon observing the one that started the fire earlier Indicus had two options continue to follow the shadowy figure or attempt to capture them. He was sure this person was connected to the Witch but unsure of if he would return to her or if he captured the assailant, that some geas would not instantly kill them. Even so Indicus believed that following this figure would be the better choice and so Indicus waited keeping himself hidden so he could follow the figure and paid close attention to the figure in case there was something he could use to identify the unknown figure incase they got away. <b>(Stealth F + Undetected sound F + Perception F + Precision D + Survival F<b>) </b></b><br>

We cannot allow this threat to remain free. The fire and destruction in it's wake has proven that much. There are many people here who are vulnerable. Tadakatsu, as one of our most skilled spearmen I want you and your men to make sure that the people here remain safe and that the area is secured, you are best suited for this defensive and if need be offensive task should the threat show up. And whatever you think regardless, Sawazuki is no where to be seen and is still a primary suspect."

For a moment as Yukan first began to speak there was some grumbling. Many of the Yari spear-minions were eager to pit their spears against the Hill Toads starting to hunker down for hibernation. However, Tadakatsu raised his hand towards the spear minions. "You heard your commander, form up and corral the rice farmers. Keep them safe while our commander sorts out the politics."<br>
<br>
Tadakatsu glanced at Masanori and smirked. "May the petals fall in your wake."<br>
<br>
Tadakatsu barked out orders and the rice farmers both the Tanuki family from the hut and those others around were corralled, watched, and protected from further harm. It took some prodding but the units moved with far more coordination than the day before and after a few examples were made to demonstrate what Tadakatsu was looking for, no more rice farmer tried to leave.<br>

Gyoubu looked Yukan up and down, "Mhmm, whether it's to march in the muck or plow a field, I'll be your willing partner." Her playful grin lingered for a long second before she gestured. "Crymaria, Borris, Choi, let's go." She looked around, frowning for a moment, "Masanori, we are short a member." She tapped her snout and wrinkled her noise, "Did you go all cheap on me?"<br>
<br>
"What!" Masanori snorted, "I'm sure there was a fifth." He looked around...<br>

"Of course," Whiteclaw ducked his head, his avian black eyes roving. He gestured to the others. "Ixtal and Acys, shadow stealth until you're called." The two shadow assassins bowed and slipped into the nearby shadows of the copse of trees. "You two, tracking." Whiteclaws eyes roved around towards Maria his Mermaid Scout. "What did you hear?"<br>
<br>
Maria approached, clutching the hilt of her azure sword and bowed. "A great deal!" She looked towards Yukan and then back towards Whiteclaw. "There's a man who roused the crowd with the most beautiful of words."<br>

Yu Vu Tu eyed Ceylan and quietly inclined her head. The squiggling tentacles at the base of her head writhed curiously at Ceylan. "It was be delicious to taste pieces of you..." She paused, looking around at the madness, she turned, tilting her head, "You words is so sweet." She glided closer for a moment, before withdrawing.<br>

"Sir, yes sir!" All the spear minions said. The scouts and logistic units joined with a mixture of "yes."<br>
<br>
Everyone continued doing what they were doing. The spears guarded the rice farmers. The scouts scouted, and the logistics units wandered around Yukan and Gyoubu.<br>

Using a [Soothing Aura E] to calm down the worst victims and help them deal with the smoke in their lungs. One particular victim seemed more wounded than others (the one that'd been tortured) and although Ceylan knew not where his wounds came from, he was sure to include that Tanuki in the targets for his [Soothing Aura], hoping that every little bit he could offer would aid these people.

Ceylan approached the rice farmers being guarded by the spear minions and Tadakatsu lifted his spear. "Halt!"<br>
<br>
However, Ceylan's presence and words were kind and soulful, plus his soul helped, Ceylan was eventually allowed to approach and let his soothing aura wash over the rice farming Tanuki. Like cool menthol, they were soothed and rejuvenated in deep ways. All the rice famers looked in adoration at Ceylan's unspoken kindness. The tortured looks and catatonic state many were in eased and they came back to themselves. Many cried and knelt before him.<br>

			Still, that left the odd feeling. He looked around, then spotted someone commanding the others. A particular Tanuki that seemed military. With no better alternative, Ceylan decided to approach him. “Excuse me, sir.” He'd waited for Yukan to have finished giving orders before speaking up, but when he did, he'd sound like he needed the latter's attention urgently.<br>
<br>
“Forgive me if I'm speaking out of turn, for I am highly unfamiliar with this situation. However, I can sense something strange about the magic in this place. It concerns me deeply, so whilst I do not know your purpose here, I would beg for your assistance to aid me in investigating where it leads.” He was truly hoping he wasn't pushing some boundaries by approaching an official like this, but at the same time, with some Empathy F / Persuasion F, he'd make sure his concern was carried over as genuinely yet strongly as possible.

Gyoubu looked him up and down. "Sure why don't you tag along. With those soulful eyes I'm sure you can't possibly be anything but a boon to us. Our commander here is on the move, so why don't you talk while we walk?" <br>
<br>
Ceylan noticed something odd as they group moved towards the copse of trees...<br>

			Upon observing the one that started the fire earlier Indicus had two options continue to follow the shadowy figure or attempt to capture them. He was sure this person was connected to the Witch but unsure of if he would return to her or if he captured the assailant, that some geas would not instantly kill them. Even so Indicus believed that following this figure would be the better choice and so Indicus waited keeping himself hidden so he could follow the figure and paid close attention to the figure in case there was something he could use to identify the unknown figure incase they got away. <b>(Stealth F + Undetected sound F + Perception F + Precision D + Survival F<b>) </b></b>

Indicus slipped through the leaves, moving like a ghostly shadow amongst the dappled light. <br>
<br>
The figure wearing the toad fanny pack looked around, before their legs coiled. Their hands landed on the ground. Their butt raised high. The air distorted around them. Then they dashed away. They moved incredibly fast covering 240 feet in a few seconds! In a blink, they were through the woods and down the road moving at a blur. It was hard to follow after them but it was easy to follow their trail. The speed at which they moved left deep gouges in the earth and curiously enough there was several other people on the road leading not into town but towards the rolling hills. Indicus saw Sawazuki the Tanuki Geisha also running along that road. She was running towards a large, gnarled oak tree. It looked twisted and broken, like a curled tortured soul that was reaching out in pain. <br>
<br>
"No!" Sawazuki shrieked as the blurred, toad fanny pack person raced towards the oak tree. The person whirled and jammed something into Sawazuki's stomach, causing the girl to keel over before rushing off again towards the hills.</div>

Yukan was pleased to see that everything was falling into place. He did realize that it was a bit of a risk letting Tadakatsu control the spears in the grand scheme of jockeying for power, but he was the one who had the most prior military experience, worst case scenario it was a double edged sword Yukan figured, he could get credit for assigning people to tasks appropriately, by putting them in their best role, while if Tadakatsu did his job well while he would get praise no doubt, the people would be protected which was a high priority of Yukan.<br>
<br>
Yukan knew well enough that if they left these people here, with the current bureaucratic system in place after all who wanted to bothered helping out the poor and feeble when they could go and win themselves prestige from hunting the toads?  it was unlikely anyone  else seriously was  going to help then sufficiently other wise he would have just as well continued the hunt onwards. Yukan wanted to change the status quo in that sense, some of these people were seen as the least valuable of society but Yukan saw an inherent dignity of life that these civilians deserved. It was of no fault of their own that disaster struck and someone had to do something to make it right and stop the rampaging. After all who knew what this security threat's next goal was? start attacking even more populated areas? There was clearly some kind of agenda here Yukan could only imagine.<br>
<br>
As he continued to delegate tasks and that process eventually slowed down once the others were listening to him. He found himself almost turn a bit red at what the Shrine Maiden had said, wondering if there had been intentional innuendo at the specific actions she mentioned. "Thank you, Shrine Maiden Gyoubu.. I truly appreciate your support." he continued with a small bow trying to keep his serious face and tone to reaffirm his leadership mode.<br>
<br>
It wasn't long before Yukan saw the crowd..suddenly fall very calm and that combined with the scouts talking about someone who had calmed the crowd? Just as he had been about to follow after Indicus too, he turnd and saw Ceylan approaching, this must have been the person the scouts had mentioned since everyone just seemed to let him walk through to Yukan which Yukan knew under normal circumstances wouldn't have been an easy feet.<br>
<br>
Yukan  as he was on the move with some of logistics and the scouts he heard Ceylan out and then gave him a small bow using <b>Republic of Kuridan Etiquette F </b>As he walked. "So you can tell there something arise here too, Im uncertain of what you did earlier, but I thank you for helping. It would appear our goals are alligned so I see no issue in us working together to find the source of this strange magic as you put it...Since time is of the essense I'll explain swiftly."<br>
<br>
Yukan continued as he walked with the rest of the group now presumably towards where Indicus had tipped him off to go.<br>
<br>
"I'm here leading a hunting party to capture the largest hill toad we can manage for an important festival, the outcome of which is integral. However my party and I was attacked earlier with strong illusion magic and as we moved out for the hunt we came across this portion of the village, decimated, people tortured and signs suggest that whoever did the attack earlier at the Geisha house is related to the torture of these people. Right now we have a suspect, whose gone missing and a dragon man whose run off. I feel obligated that this threat needs to be stopped for the security of our region and betterment of the civilians of Kuridan, it would be unacceptable to leave them so vulnerable, so any additional aid you would like to provide I would greatly appreciate."<br>
<br>
Yukan said looking to Ceylan as he spoke while moving at a fairly brisk pace, while not wanting to run out of stamina when they presumably caught up.</div>

<br>​</div>"...Thats a wierd ass tree..." Was, really, all he could truely say about it. This whole hunt thing was kind of taking abit to be underway for him... he had.. well.. Though there'd be abit more chaos to the whole thing... So... he decided to just... walk around. Find trouble and deal with it, undead were an issue sure with the whole not bleeding thing but... well.. It was a beautiful landscape however, one he felt slightly enraptured and inspired by... But... he could compose no true poetry, he was a man of the sword... Though some might consider the way of the warrior one that includes arts... <br>
<br>
He... was pretty terrible at it... <br>
<br>
The structure, the nuances... His father had attempted to pound such into his head, thats why he doesn't go home even when given leave by his master to explore this world and learn... <br>
<br>
To go home... would be to invite the trappings of the life again.<br>
<br>
And he was the type to not to want to stay in one place for long. <br>
<br>
So, as he stood along the path, thinking about the troubles of a third son in line, he overheard words and shouting... And... "Oh shit was she just stabbed what the fu-" wait the stabber was getting away! Shit what should he do? What should he do!? He didn't know the whole deal but his body seemed to act straight out of instinct, as his brain followed suit. Signals and orders, unspoken words brought his hand from his hip to his side, his hands leapt to action and within a flash, attempted to strike the incoming foe. <br>
<br>
Or, so he thought they were. <br>

</ul><br>
His body stiffened and reacted, a draw of his blade and a flash of mithril as he turned the blade at the last moment, to turn bladed death into a flat of a blade to the forehead of the incoming foe.  <br>

A shiver ran down Ceylan's spine. Did the woman just admit to wanting to eat him..? Or did she just do something magic essence stuff that he didn't understand..? He wasn't sure what she was going on about and he didn't quite like it. Even so, that dislike didn't draw out his gratitude towards her aid, so he didn't back off when she got closer, although his tail did end up swaying noticeably slower than before due to his confusion regarding her words. <br>
<br>
After initially being halted, Ceylan managed to go through after his magic did its work. That said, them kneeling was a bit much. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Please, get up. It's nothing much, I'm merely trying to help out to the extend the gods allow me to aid you.”</b></span> He couldn't possibly take more credit than that, as he already felt like this was way more gratitude than he was worthy of. Especially as he was holding back, which made him feel even more bad about getting such sincere gratitude. <br>
<br>
Ceylan nodded to the man who told him to tag along and talk while on the move. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Very well sir, thank you.”</b></span> He wasn't sure what the man meant with 'soulful eyes' but he figured it was something good. Then again, he was sensing something... <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“This... could this be feeding something?”</b></span> He asked himself aloud, wondering if the pulsating feeling he got from the leyline was the movement of mana or energy towards something nefarious. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Or maybe spreading something...”</b></span> He mumbled, as he tried to figure out if his [Divine Senses E] would be enough to pick up on the direction of the flow of energy. <br>
<br>
In his best attempts, he still wasn't really able to appreciate the type of bow he was getting from Yukan, <s>as he was an uncultured etiquette-less dog</s> but he'd reply with a simple bow of his own. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I merely asked the gods to aid me in soothing and healing them.”</b></span> Ceylan said, attempting to explain his actions. In turn, he listened to Yukan's explanation carefully. That said, there were some things he didn't quite understand. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Do you mean to say the dragon man and suspect aren't the same?”</b></span> That was one confusing part, as Ceylan didn't see how that dragon man would otherwise fit into the story. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“That illusion magic you spoke of, could you describe it a bit further?”</b></span><br>
<br>
<b>E Grade Cool-downs</b> (<span style="color: red">0/0</span>)<br>

Crymaria seeing as the group was splitting up at the moment and the spearmen were securing the area thought this was a very bad idea. <span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">"Comrade Borris, I don't think these comrades realize that splitting up is probably not a good idea. There are too many unknowns," </span><span style="color: null">She concluded with a shrug as she looked over to the large bear. <br>
<br>
When she heard Yukan give the order for the supply core and the shrine maiden to do as they pleased she cocked and eyebrow. </span><span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">"Well Comrade Borris I suppose we should follow the shrine maiden for the time being, things are surely strange here." </span>Crymaria stated as she followed the shrine maiden for right now. As the group joined around Cylan and the others as he inquired about the dragon man to which she figured could only be their other companion. <br>
<br>
<span style="color: rgb(26, 188, 156)">"Oh you must mean Comrade Indicus," </span>Crymaria responded as she and Borris had now joined the others that were still around. Though she couldn't help with the description of the magic due to her paying far more attention to the crowd. She still wasn't sure what entirely was going on at this point so just reverted to petting the bear. <br>

The Tanuki rice farmers rose. The elderly needed the help of the younger folk, but each one heeded Ceylan's words.<br>
<br>
Tadakatsu shook his head, "I never seen a peasant bow and rise so quick, you've got quite the touch." He frowned watching Ceylan for a long moment before waving the man off. "Off you go now, see after the commander and don't incite my charges further."<br>
<br>
As Ceylan left, the rice farmers continued to give praise and whisper in awe at the man who soothed their aching souls with his very presence. "His fur is so glossy," one of the farmers said. Another whispered back, "And a fine tail, he got too!" A third elbowed the second, "Mind yourself around his holiness." The first shot back, "Aye, but it done wag toot sweet. Tis a fine thing to see." A chorus of "Amen!" followed from many of the others.<br>

Yukan, the scouts, and the logistics core moved into the copse of trees. The scouts lead them through the trees, pointing the odd track or broken branch. They also pointed out that there was no sign of a struggle and two people looked to have left the small glade together. As they moved, Yukan discussed with others.<br>

			"Oh you must mean Comrade Indicus," Crymaria responded as she and Borris had now joined the others that were still around. Though she couldn't help with the description of the magic due to her paying far more attention to the crowd. She still wasn't sure what entirely was going on at this point so just reverted to petting the bear.

Gyoubu spoke up, turning to look Ceylan up and down, pausing on his honest tail. "An alchemist brew perhaps. The Indicus, the dragon man, felt a kinship of sorts, so perhaps it's dragon magic. Thus suspect but not necessarily the suspect. The combination was expelled orally. Upon contact, it dulled the senses and caused those affected to think the room they were in was on fire while the true threat was an organic consuming acid whose volumetric area was impressive." Gyoubu paused, "Of course the illusion only covered five of six walls, causing those affected to flee out back, which is an odd oversight. You'd think if the goal was to melt the bodies that the whole room would be on illusory fire." She shrugged. "Holes in the illusion, the witch's plan, or our understanding."<br>

Gyoubu perked up, watching Ceylan's gleaming eyes. "Now is not the time to be cryptic. Speak clearly."<br>

White feather paused, peering into the distance further off where many things were happening. With a mighty leap, the owl kin and the other avians leapt high into the air, bows drawn. "Halt in the name of Commander Yukan." They made quite the sight, soaring thirty feet into the air and soaring horizontally for a hundred more.<br>

			Once more Indicus swore as he gave up his chase to check on the woman and using his experience (Survival F) Indicus looked to check what was wrong with the woman. As he did so he noticed the solitary oak tree down the road. But before he could worry about creepy oak trees he had to help this woman.<br>

Indicus saw the dagger plunged into the women's guts. It was a cruel, rusted, serrated thing six inches long. It ripped and tore skin, guts, and organs going in. Sawazuki smiled faintly at Indicus joke. She opened her mouth to say more, but instead coughed up blood all over him. Her supple body sagged into Indicus, the strength rapidly leaving her. Gut wounds were a horrible way to die, sending toxins into the bloodstream which can poison the rest of the body leading to organ failure and death. Unfortunately for the victim, this can mean hours or days of agonizing pain.<br>
<br>
She looked into Indicus eyes tears streaming down her eyes. She howled in pain. Her body shuddered. Something was devouring her faster than a normal gut wound. Her bowls voided and vomit poured from her mouth. The pressure of her abdomen pushed pieces of her intestines out of her body. He could literally see the life being drained from her. The blood loss accelerated faster than normal. Her back arched, her toes curling and fingers balling into fists. Her eyes rolled back in her head.<br>

			So, as he stood along the path, thinking about the troubles of a third son in line, he overheard words and shouting... And... "Oh shit was she just stabbed what the fu-" wait the stabber was getting away! Shit what should he do? What should he do!? He didn't know the whole deal but his body seemed to act straight out of instinct, as his brain followed suit. Signals and orders, unspoken words brought his hand from his hip to his side, his hands leapt to action and within a flash, attempted to strike the incoming foe. His body stiffened and reacted, a draw of his blade and a flash of mithril as he turned the blade at the last moment, to turn bladed death into a flat of a blade to the forehead of the incoming foe.

The fanny pack ninja blurred at incredible speeds but Ko Matatsu's sword was just as fast. Mercy's Edge struck with the force of a charging Rhinoceros. The only thing the ninja had to defend itself with was the incredible speed, but Ko's accurate penetrating maneuver cut through such trivial defenses and turned them against his foe! He found the perfect arc of his blade, the flat of the blade translating the kinetic force and spreading it through the body. The ninja's forearm exploded in flechette-like shrapnel, the fragments exiting the arm and entering the torso. The majority of the kinetic energy continued shattering all the ninja's right ribs, causing more bone fragments to fly through the internal organs. The energy continued, lifting the body up and hurling it nearly twenty feet through the air and into the gnarled, twisted body of the ancient looking oak tree.<br>
<br>
The ninja's body jerked. Only the ninja's eyes were visible and these were wide before rolling up into its head. Something like white cilia sprouted from the trunk of the ancient oak. The short hairlike structures vibrated, crawling and cradling the body the ninja, preventing the body from falling to the ground. Like microscopic needles, the cilia penetrated the skin and turned from white to a dark crimson. Meanwhile the body seemed to start to sink into the trunk! It was deceptively slow like pressing a hand into thick jello, but the cilia kept emerging in greater number, drawing and pulling. At first it was only tens and then hundreds and quickly it became thousands of those tiny little cilia until the body looked more like a white, crimson growth on the tree being absorbed inch by inch in a slow, rhythmic pulse.<br>
<br>
OOC: Assume everything was visible by everyone. Indicus is 60' away and Ko 120, the tree is 160'. Yukan et al. are at the top of a hill with a small cart road leading down towards the ancient tree. Near the tree the road splits left and right. Right towards town. Left towards the hill and the distant guard towers on them.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Indicus solemnly looked at the woman as she died "Rest in peace, I'll get to the bottom of this." Indicus placed a hand over the woman's face and shut her eyelids. He took the body of Sawazuki and placed it at the edge of the road. He Inspected the dagger but besides his initial findings he could glean nothing from the blade though with how quick it killed the woman it was probably poisoned or enchanted. Indicus carefully wrapped the dagger in a cloth and tied it next to his coin purse. It was then he noticed something at the old oak a katana wielding man and the oak covering what looked to be a body in cillia as it absorbed it. <br>
<br>
Indicus walked closer to the oak and looked at the wolfman. "Hello sir, mind telling me what you think that tree is doing absorbing a body?"<br>

It was rather odd to see people so obedient, something he wasn't the only one to notice, as he was soon addressed for it. Were people in here generally more obedient or was he already failing at keeping a low profile? He wasn't quite sure. He also wasn't quite sure what to make of the man's words. Don't 'incite my charges' further? What did Ceylan do to incite charges? He was confused, but figured it wasn't worth the time to keep pondering about it. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Thank you, sir.”</b></span> Was all he said, before going after Yukan and the rest.<br>
<br>
Rather than Yukan, someone else responded to his questions.  <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I see.”</b></span> He replied to the explanation, for lack of better understanding. Perhaps, trying to recall knowledge he'd obtained through his [Healing (B)] experience might prove fruitful in getting him to reach some answers. As for now, he had no clue what kind of concoctions could cause the mentioned type of effects. <br>
<br>
Ceylan instinctively shook his head at the idea of there being an oversight. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“If I had to guess, it's our lack of understand, not a hole in the illusion. If it's as powerful as you describe it to be, I would be too outlandish to think it'd have such a highly specific flaw.”</b></span> He tried to pierce things together, but being relatively new to the 'scene' altogether, it wasn't easy. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Those people that fled out the back... was there something near there? Could they have been forced in a certain direction?”</b></span> That was one option he could think of. The other... <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Or could it have been a scare tactic? Just to get them away from there? Perhaps even to save them, rather than melt the bodies?”</b></span> With his limited knowledge, either option sounded equally plausible to him.<br>
<br>
He didn't like being addressed as 'speaking cryptic' when he didn't know anything much more concrete either. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“The ley lines carrying mana, something seems to be pulsing through it. I'm trying to see if it's going towards the hut or away from it. Whatever it is though, it's nothing good.”</b></span> That was the most concrete answer he could give, as he used [Divine Senses E] yet again, now that they were a bit away, to see if he could get an answer to his own question, considering his previous attempted hadn't resulted in success. <br>
<br>
He noticed the flying beastfolk leave the rest of the group, but he wasn't quite sure what to make out of what was happening in the distance that drew them in. He'd been too focused on these ley lines thus far. <br>
<br>
<b>E Grade Cool-downs</b> (<span style="color: red">0/0</span>)<br>

<br>
Yukan listened to the Shrine Maiden's back and forth with Ceylan. He could have answered himself but she handled it quite well. It was very understandable to him why Gyobu told him not to speak cryptically this was a serious high stress situation, where people's lives were at risk and the longer they spent not catching the perpetrator the longer.<br>
<br>
As he walked he listened to Ceylan's way of explaining it. Unfortunately Yukan was not the most well versed in magic, it wasn't something he had spent much time investigating, nor was he capable of using it at least yet, at some point he would like to change that if it were possible since it seemed to have been incredibly useful for amany people as he had seen time and time again.<br>
<br>
He thought that Ceylan's thoughts were interesting on the matter but the duality of possibilities was what made Yukan concerned to begin with they really weren't entirely sure what was going on. What he did know was that at least with Daisuke's spears AND Tadakatsu's  spears near each other it was unlikely that anything would dare attack the people at least alone, they'd have to contend with all of those spear units, which was considerable. It was just unconscionable to him, the very notion. He couldn't run off with Indicus with all of his units in toe that would leave the people completely defenseless who were apparently quite easy to torture by whatever this witch was.<br>
<br>
Yukan saw the birds spring into action not long after as he looked ahead, not having much time to add commentary to Ceylan and the shrine maiden's conversation. Since Yukan felt covered by the multitude of bow birds  he immediately approached the body that Indicus had walked away from towards the man with the sword with <b>Fast F</b> enough to get him close enough to see what had happened exactly as he was still processing it all it was all so fast.<br>
<br>
"Those who are not ranged, approach with added caution, there are potential hostiles..one has been dispatched it seems but someone has been severely injured."   He said with <b>Leadership F, </b>He then noticed the body on the ground. Looking ab it surprised, that's what that blur had done..Indicus hadn't helped her but it looked liked he had realized it was too late.<br>
<br>
<b>"Sawazuki!" </b>Yukan called out, coming over to her, who, why would anyone do something so horrible to her? She was so youthful. It was obvious she hadn't been behind all of this to him now, and he felt awful about the whole affair, perhaps she had been manipulated or controlled and used as a puppet. This was utterly sickening to him. with  <b>Republic of Kuridan Etiquette F</b>  and <b>Republic of Kuridan Culture F</b>  he said quietly  to no one in particular. "May you pass over the Sanzu River peacefully.." and seriously his face returning to a somber one, before he looked up quickly over at the tree that. He tightened his fists, now they were having deaths, this had to be stopped.<br>
<br>
He moved again this time closer to the tree and Incidus, and the new comer, but stopped a distance away for safety reasons seeing the tree. "I appreciate you trying to stop that..figure from escaping but, I don't understanding what's transpiring here." Yukan said matter of fact looking towards anyone who may have had an idea of why the tree was eating the figure.<br>
<br>
He looked towards Indicus, "Are you okay? Did you gather any insight?"  Referencing what had been asked of him earlier to follow since it had been discrete.<br>
<br>
He then looked towards the dog, "I apologize but given the circumstances, I must ask, Whats your family name? and why were you here?" He inquired He didn't mean to sound too demanding or rude thus the apology, but given what just happened he needed to know who this was and get the story straight quick.<br>
<br>
Actions: <br>
1. Tap into <b>leadership F </b>with general cautionary instruction.<br>
2. Move towards Sawazuki<br>
3. Move towards Indicus and Ko and ask for details.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Indicus laughed, it was a hollow laugh filled with his rage and self loathing as the memories of watching the person he failed to save not once but twice flashing through his mind even if most would not blame him for not carrying out miracles. Indicus' laughter quickly stopped as abruptly as it came as he looked at this Matatsu as he took out the dagger that killed Sawazuki. "Kind sir." Indicus bowed mockingly  "I would not be here if that woman had not died in my arms. The dagger," Indicus emphasized the dagger he held. "our stranger used either had some toxin or was enchanted. Sawazuki died in less then two minutes abnormal for a gut wound I know."<br>
Indicus decided to let his words settle in and worked to calm himself, he would find that witch somehow.<br>

Ceylan's focus snapped away from the ley lines when he heard a fellow <s>doggo</s> canine [beast] call out loud enough for him to realise just what exactly was going on in the near distance. Well, enough of it. Woman. Guts. Doctoring. Apparently Carnivorous Tree. Wait, those last three words didn't add up with the first three he'd heard. Then again, the first three were enough for him to spring to action, rushing over to where his fellow canine had been yelling from. <br>
<br>
He figured Yukan and his troops could deal with that tree, whatever it was, so that he could focus on what he was good at. Still, it was difficult not to use all of his powers. With effort, he managed to hold back and used [mundane] healing (without catalyst/magic) methods to provide some first aid, but that wouldn't do much unless... <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Put pressure on here, make sure that tree doesn't get to her.”</b></span> He told the fellow canine that'd called out for a healer (Ko), the strange lizard (Indicus) and Yukan, assuming they cared enough to save this persons life. He'd also give  them a few pointers (using his higher knowledge of healing) to see if they could help out based on his instructions. <br>
<br>
From what he saw, the woman had a bad gut wound, yet healing wise, that might not be the most complex. Painful and deadly, but not to the degree it couldn't be healed. The poison might be the nastier thing, as he realised she was dying from something more than just a gut wound. It took him all the mental fortitude he could muster not to immediately use his healing powers at full, instead limiting himself to [Healing E] to see if he could at least stabilize her. Should that fail, however, he'd not think twice about trying again with [Healing D] to ensure her survival over all else. He'd break his Syncretist vows if he'd let someone die when he could've prevented it, after all, which were worth more to him than any promises he made to try to stay under the radar.</div>

 </b>​</div>Yukan listened to what the stranger had to say. He had given a name to his credit, but his reason for being there didn't seem to be anything too specific.  As soon as Matasu said that she needed healing, Yukan didn't have an initial response  to Matasu when he went off on them, instead he listened with a serious expression on his face as perusual. Yukan really thought that was wishful thinking, he had been quite convinced whatever damage had been done was soon to be fatal from the trajectory of the attack and the powerful magics involved. As Indicus said, that was a reasonable assessment given the situation had it been a simple gut wound that might have been one thing, but it hadn't looked that way to Yukan.<br>
<br>
"With all due respect as tragic as it is I'm inclined to agree with Indicus, it looked fatal, and we have a threat whose capable of targeting  more people enmass  their lives are on the line, there isn't time to-." Yukan tried to explain after Ko called out following after some, but he paused.<br>
<br>
When he saw Ceylan approach and start to engage with Sawazuki, and speak to Ko, that was a good sign. Upon hearing about the tree, Yukan looked toward it once more as he headed over back towards Sawazuki. "You mean it's really possible? I thought I already  saw Datsue-ba stripping her, if there's a chance...try to save her."  Yukan. said earnestly before he continued  <br>
<br>
 "I'll do whatever I can, Sawazuki, please hold on."  He diligently got to work assisting where Ceylan how he wanted him too, every now and again looking towards the tree to make sure that it wasn't going to do anything problematic, ready at a split second  to take his Yari out.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">While the majority of those who came to Ceylan's call were minimal in their ability to assist, Yukan's encouraging words and Indicus survival training, helped focus and channel that healing capabilities that Ceylan could muster. Gyoubu was the biggest assist, her magics mingled with Ceylan's own. Gyoubu's magics were of the spring blossom and calming wind. She could call upon nature's embrace and organic poisons and harms of the body were strengths of hers. Ceylan's magics of the soul and heart worked in their own ways; however, neither brought the women back to full health. Her stomach wound closed and a bit of life returned to her. <br>
<br>
Meanwhile the tree's cilia drew the body into it. Sap oozed out like syrup, dark and thick, filling in and over the cilia. The sap hardened like a scab, bark forming over the bulge were the body had been wrapped. The bark was ashen grey with fine, black filigree. The mosaic patterns pulsed in a rhythmic beat. Thump, thump. Thump, thump. A small crowd formed around the tree, watching as it continued to "incorporate" the fanny pack ninja. <br>
<br>
Sawazuki blinked up at all the people hovering over her. "Ttthhaaannkkkss," she whispered, her word stretching out, before she started coughing. Blood formed at her lips and the action causing the wound at her gut to begin leaking blood and other fluids. <br>
<br>
"What..." Gyoubu whispered, scrunching up her face. She put her hand upon Sawazuki's wound, "It's, something...hmm." She looked around, frowning. <br>
<br>
"Pl..plea..see," Sawazuki said, stretching up a hand to point towards the tree. "Ss...sh..eee." Sawazuki panted, coughing, "In...in...the..." She coughed more blood. Gyoubu and the others worked on Sawazuki more, Ceylan's magics mixing with Gyoubu and the manual work of healing, survival, and rousing speeches continued to work on her. A minute later, she continued, "Bran..." more coughing, pointing at the distant tree, "Chesss." Her breathing came out in a wheeze, her lips once more wet with blood from the effort of trying to speak. "Tttooooo." More coughing. <br>

Meanwhile focused on keeping Sawazuki alive, the bark formed over the lump that looked vaguely Tanuki shaped. There were lots of add lumps about this tree, ancient and tangled as it was. The branches shook in their own wind, independent of the wind's breeze. New buds formed on it's few remaining branches. They were like thick, thumb sized black caterpillar chrysalis, hundreds of them. Who knew what would blossom with the fresh new fertilizer it had been given? <br>

"Hee," she gasped, grabbing a hand on her and squeezing, "Lp. Dr...dri..." The effort was too much. She looked to be on the mend, but extremely fragile. For every step forward, she seemed to take a half step back. <br>

With everyone else stepping in to help out, they were able to keep the woman alive without Ceylan needing to rely on high grades of healing. Still, it made shivers run down his spine. To prolong someone's suffering just so he could keep a low profile? Was that really the extend of his Syncretist pledges? He could probably get this woman out of her suffering with a single higher grade healing prayer, yet... He didn't. He hated himself for it, but he realised that keeping her alive was currently enough to at least not fully betray his vows without breaking his low-profile. That didn't mean he didn't feel horrible though, something his low-hanging tail and drooped ears were eager to betray. Perhaps he could just write it off as being saddened by the woman's condition in general.<br>
<br>
Either way, the one positive was that she was still alive. He wasn't sure how much longer it would stay that way. Her words, however, thoroughly confused him. 'Thanks, please, she in the branches, too, help dri(nk)?' She wanted to head towards that foul looking tree? Not away from it? He needed to go through her words in his mind multiple times just to see if he was getting this right. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“You... want to drink from something on the tree's branches?”</b></span> That was his best guest. He truly hoped she'd shake 'no' yet he expected her to nod 'yes' instead. Perhaps the tree, evil as it seemed, would be able to provide some sort of antidote to whatever poison was coursing through her veins? He sighed, seeing her struggle, then made up his mind. If he wasn't going to commit to fully using his healing powers, the least he could do was trust in whatever she wanted.<br>
<br>
He kept using his [Divine Healing E] on her to ensure she'd last long enough for whatever was about to happen to work out. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I'll do my best to keep her stable. Can someone please check if there's anything growing on the tree that she might be talking about? Fruits, nectar, sap, anything. The tree seem ominous to me, but it's the only thing I can think of.”</b></span> He admitted, hoping the others would check the tree whilst he kept her as stable as he could.<br>

Indicus looked at the tree now blossoming and felt dubious about letting anyone drink whatever the tree produced but Sawazuki might know more about it then them. At the same time if whatever that tree produced was strong enough to heal someone on death's door then Indicus doubted it would be easy to acquire. <br>

"..But wanted the tree stuff..? that just ate a person..? seems kinda freaky..." the young man scratched his ear, wincing abit.. or.. maybe it was like when you pet a dog and they get a little dopey from getting a good scratch..? Either way, he looked at the tree that was currently still likely digesting it's meal... <br>
<br>
"...Well.. Food for food i guess...? The black vein certain looks evil though... Anyone know anything about evil trees?" he young man walked on forward, abit behind Indicus for now, observing the strange fruits that bore on the branches.... <br>
<br>
"...Maybe it eats murderers and such..? Probably has bad karma... or some sort of possessed tree... Why are folks surrounding it?" he looked at the crowd surrounding the tree and shouted. <br>
<br>
"OI! You lot! you just saw it ate somebody don't go near it lest yea find yerself taken to! Go on get! Wheres your sense of self preservation!" the boy barked yet again to the crowd, though he doubted anybody would have noticed. "tsk, if any of ya'll get eaten next I'll just tell yea I told yea!"</div>

Yukan kept a skeptical eye on the tree while at the same time watching the healing process. It seemed for now that he and Indicus had been too swift in their judgement as she was holding on with some healing at the moment. He gave Ko a bit of a nod of confirmation at his comment about being right.<br>
<br>
  He was glad that Ko had made that judgment call earlier, even if his initial impresion of him was a bit ronin like, which would probably be a good thing if he helped them out, he seemed tough enough and skilled at combat, certainly more than the experience that Yukan had.<br>
<br>
<br>
 Of course Yukan didn't have the faintest clue that Ceylan was holding back his healing abilities to remain under cover. Instead Yukan was reasonably impressed that he was doing as well as he was.  Nevermind the shrine maiden who was able to use her healing magic to great effect in combination with Ceylan. When Sawazuki started speaking up however, Yukan refocused on her and tried to make out what she was saying, and just as he was about to try to get more out of her, it seemed like she was having a hard time staying  with it, but thanfully Ceylan translated well enough.<br>
<br>
Yukan looked a bit confused when Ceylan came to the conclusion she wanted something to drink from the very malicious looking tree from what they had seen so far, but he had seen and heard stranger things perhaps. Was that some kind of heart beat sound coming from the tree? He wasn't entirely sure what it was it was almost like it was part animal and part plant.<br>
<br>
"Sawazuki I need you stay here with us, please. It isn't your time yet." He said, sounding like he was trying to reason with her and it was her choice, he really wanted the youth to survive if it was possible it could be heard in his voice, it was one of concern and pleading almost.<br>
<br>
<br>
Yukan then saw Indicus agree to what Ceylan asked and make his way over to the tree.  So he looked over with and said, "Indicus, Matasu is right, if you feel that you must,  becareful, it's clear that the tree has no qualms at trying to consume the living, so I have no reason to believe that if it's given the opportunity it wouldn't try again."  Truthfully he hoped that Matasu was right and that it only ate the immoral of the world. Yukan then stood up seeing that the healers were doing there thing and he had done al ot of what he could do at the moment action wise more than likely, he turned to the avian scouts who were mixed between Tengu and owls it seemed mostly. He then tapped into <b>leadership F<br>
<br>
"Whiteclaw and scouts, I need you to continue to keep vigilance on the surrounding area and that  especially tree, it consumed the assailant of Sawazuki, should any other hostiles appear  we'll need your ranged support available." </b><br>
<br>
Yukan couldn't afford to pay too much attention to Sawazuki's healing he realized, there was so much going on around them that a moment notice something drastic could change, so he needed to be with it so that someone else's life wasn't actually claimed as a result. So he withdrew his Yari, and looked over at the tree watching Indicus with antiquation and a bit of worry, wanting to be ready to jump into action if he was needed.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">A lot was going on and the team was just on the outskirts of the town. Behind them was a small copse of trees and beyond that was the majority of Yukan's forces, 3 groups of spear minions. In a way, it represented a more traditional path towards a commander's goals. Lead the spears forth towards the objective his commander had given him. There would be losses; there always was in war. However, that path was perhaps a veneer to something deeper, darker, and vaster than the childish quests of his youthful dreams. This other path was not a path at all! That's the problem with the road less taken. This way was of Nirupādhika, The Mirror and The Way. The self was the compass, the guide through which integrity lead to the way. It was said this was the true that all great rulers realized and kept hidden. Many fell lost on their journey. Even a moment's distraction could spell disaster!<br>
<br>
Those who had come and gone, and those who remained found themselves swept up in this eddy. All of them at a cross roads. Do you burn the ships so everyone is forced to move forward or maybe keep a bridge or two just in case?<br>
<br>
A head was a tangled knot that only grew more tangled with each moment.<br>

	</div>Sawazuki lay upon the ground, blood about her mouth as some figured out how to stabilize and perhaps bring her back from the brink. What would it take? Who was she really? Was she a rice farmer's daughter who happened to be born with beauty and poise? Was there more to her tale of trying to protect her family and perform a "joke" on Indicus at the behest of the "witch" or "succubus"? Why had the fanny pack ninja shot that flaming bolt at Indicus and stabbed Sawazuki in the stomach with a poisoned, rusted blade? Why was the ground so clean, even though she had bled so much? Or had she? Was this another illusion? Another mystery?<br>

Everyone that was near Sawazuki saw something quite interesting! Especially if they were paying close attention to the ground around Sawazuki.

Gyoubu grunted, watching the tree and the people approaching it. "It is an odd thing. It's been around for ages. Longfeather told us to leave it be," she shrugged, "He said it was a miracle."

Beyond and down the path towards the tree, <b>Indicus and Ko, Whitefeather, and the rest of the scouts</b> rushed forward. What they saw was confounding, small buds formed and burst open in an explosion of blue leaves. It rapidly spread over the whole tree. The leaves scintillated in shades of vivid blue. The thick chrysalises were soon bursting open, thickening and expanding to form dark purple plums.<br>
<br>
The throng of ten onlookers about the tree stared in fascination. A look akin to awe on their faces. Each plum was succulent and had the most amazing odor.

			"Whiteclaw and scouts, I need you to continue to keep vigilance on the surrounding area and especially that tree, it consumed the assailant of Sawazuki, should any other hostiles appear we'll need your ranged support available." Yukan couldn't afford to pay too much attention to Sawazuki's healing he realized, there was so much going on around them that a moment notice something drastic could change, so he needed to be with it so that someone else's life wasn't actually claimed as a result. So he withdrew his Yari, and looked over at the tree watching Indicus with antiquation and a bit of worry, wanting to be ready to jump into action if he was needed.

Whiteclaw; however, turned and leapt high again, cursing and called out, "Commander, the 3rd Spear's Second Yari is making haste towards us from the nearby hills. They are flying the Orange flag: Intent to attack if we don't surrender."<br>
<br>
<i>The flag system was a way for the Republic to lead and command larger armies, so it was common for a flag bearer to be amongst the teams going on a hunt. Indeed, Tadakatsu had been training the three units of spear minions on the meanings and responses while the rest of Yukan's group was at the Geisha House. Yukan knew the system well with his etiquette and soldier training. </i><br>
<br>
The unit approaching was making haste and would arrive soon. Indeed their timing was suspiciously fast! What had they been doing in the nearby hills that they would return at just this time? Regardless they were three units of spear minions, one unit of scouts, and a logistics core that would arrive in several rounds. The hills around the city were tricky in that way, easy to hide in the leeward side to spring up to surprise a foe. This one had been only three hills away.<br>

Ceylan took Indicus' water canteen and tried to give Sawazuki something to drink with it. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>”Thank you.”</b></span> He replied on her behalf. Perhaps some water would allow her to speak of what she wanted. <br>
<br>
Then again, Ceylan also had to agree with Ko. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“You're right. I'm not sure of it either.”</b></span> He had to admit. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Perhaps the tree can give back some of the life-force it took from others?”</b></span> That was his best bet, assuming his interpretation of Sawazuki's words hadn't been wrong from the get-go.<br>
<br>
Ceylan didn't care much for who or what Sawazuki was at the moment. He mostly cared for how to make her get better. As he noticed what the ground was doing, he instantly sprung to action. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“We need to keep her off of the ground and move her away!”</b></span> He'd shout, as he tried lifting her up on his own (although hopefully getting help from someone). <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“The tree is sucking in her blood and life-force as well, through the corrupted ley-lines.”</b></span> He concluded, feeling worried by his own conclusion. He wasn't sure how much the others would understand, yet for as long as they got 'sticking near the tree is bad' then it'd be enough.<br>
<br>
Perhaps there really was a way to get that life force back by drinking from the tree, but Ceylan wasn't going to stick around to find out, especially not with someone so weak in his care. To make matters worse, it felt like his own strength was being drained as well... He'd need to call in some aid to ensure he could carry the wounded further away from this tree and the ley-lines it had corrupted. He attempted to use [Summon Celestial F]. He vividly recalled how he'd once been blessed with the presence of Valhyr and Hymn though it. Whilst he wasn't sure if his call for aid would be answered once more, he deemed it important enough to try. Were he to succeed, he'd ask whatever he summoned to aid him in moving the injured Sawazuki away from the tree.<br>
<br>
<b>Summon Celestial F</b>– Summon Creature F, Religion F, Energised F – Character attempts to summon a creature from the heavenly/divine planes of existence to aid them. Has a 30 ft search range. - Grade F – 0 Post Cooldown.<br>
<br>
For now, however, he'd attempt to keep healing Sawazuki in the hopes of being able to simply outpace the drain from the tree well enough to keep her alive with Divine Healing E.<br>
<br>
<b>Divine Healing</b> E - Magic Affinity E, Magic Range F, Magic Targets F, Healing E, Religion E, Energised E - Character channels the powers of the gods to heal significant injuries. - Grade E - 0 Post Cooldown.</div>

And so for better or for worse Indicus stuck his hand in the hollowed out hole in the tree hoping the familiarity meant that whatever it was it would not kill him at the very least.<br>

Everything was going about as poorly as it could go in that moment it seemed. It had been a battle for Sawazuki to stay alive right from the get go and continued to be. Yukan stood near watching all that was unfolding around him now, This plant life was acting in a disturbing fashion. Gyoubu's explanation only helped so much. The information about it being a good idea to leave it alone wasn't lost on Yukan when he saw or more accurately felt what was going on. As soon as Yukan felt the strange  dizzy sensation and saw signs of the Cilia  and he heard Ceylan speaking he opted to make his way over and try to help him Carry Gyoubu even at the expensive of what he was expereincing when it was clear that Ceylan wasn't going to be strong enough to manage her himself. He'd  then curse under his breath in beastial.<br>
<br>
"Gyubou watch out the ground is tainted."  He spoke out.<br>
<br>
"We need to get to a surface above the earthen floor " He said  looking around for an elevated rock or log they could stand on. <b>If </b>the Celestial summon was successful Yukan was quite surpirsed to see what was unfolding, and he'd let it take care of her since it seemed like Ceylan knew what he was doing<br>
<br>
<b>If</b> the celestial summon was not successful then he'd continue to try to assist Ceylan by carrying her out of harms way.<br>
<br>
"Sawazuki stay with us." He continued encouragingly despite how drained he was feeling. The news only got worse however as Yukan looked up over at Whiteclaw who had jumped up and told him the most unfortunate news. Yukan knew that they had it out for him jockeying for these positions of power. Well he could play the game too. H had gone to training and they could get the high ground in this engagement to engage the spears.<br>
<br>
But just as he was going to respond to the scout squad leader, he saw that a many of them were distracted by whatever was going on with that tree. This wasn't going to do, they needed to prepare.<br>
<br>
Yukan not being impacted by it probably due to being farther away. He'd bark out however seeing how enraptured everyone seemed to be., he then continued with <b>Leadership F</b> <b>"ATTENTION Get away from thattree!  We have approaching hostiles and this whole area is suspectible to this forest, Get to higher ground off the forest floor immediately.  We have lives on the line here and we will not be surrendering. If the 3rd spear wishes encroach on our operations then We'll make his forces pay dearly for it. Scouts! Get your ranged weapons ready, and surpress fire on anyone who gets within range, logistics get ready to assist, we'll draw them here and let the forest take it's toll on their ranks as it has for us and we'll pick them off if we must if they don't get the message. However, we have a duty to protect the innocent and  injured so this must be maintained. If we're lucky they'll realize now is no time for war games when they see that we have a common hostile threat to combat." </b> Yukan declared defiantly. If they thought that he was going to surrender  just because his whole unit wasn't with hi they had another thing coming, he was going to use exactly what he had learned in training if he had too. Surrendering could not only put his position on the hunt at risk but would also lose him face which he was not planning on losing. They too would have to deal with whatever the forest was doing and maybe,</div>

"...Ah...? Ah..." it... was beautiful... As if the tree was... Glowing... It was so horrible before but now... Surely it wasn't all too bad right? A sword could be beautiful, if still a thing of death. Surely...<br>
<br>
...hmm...?<br>
<br>
Voices...? Get away...? Why would he need to the... Hrmm...?<br>
<br>
So much shouting... Ugh... It hurt his ears... Get away from the tree... But... He winced, hard, all the sudden... His thumb, he had unsheathed his sword abit unthinking and planted his thumb upon the blade. Red spilt from the opening, he immedately sucked on the wound... He remembered, that while sword as beautiful... the danger is plentiful...<br>
<br>
Like a razor sharp petal of a flower, to look but never touch...<br>
<br>
A sword is like a flower... Was this an answer to his master's question?<br>
<br>
...He had to... His ears kept twitching, more yelling! The tree, the tree!<br>
<br>
The... Tree was.. drawing him in!? Its fruit!<br>
<br>
He would draw the blade of mithril, holding it before his eyes, seeing his reflection in the perfect sheen of the sword... He focused, meditatively, to try and take control back... In the basics of all things there is a connection, to influence another there is a connection, metaphysical and physical...<br>
<br>
<br>
He will sever this connection!!!<br>
<br>
Inescapable Death, Weapon Mastery E, Multidimensional E, Penetrating E, Accurate E, Hot Shot E, Incurable E, Contact E, Blight E (razor sharp), Continuing E (Bleed), Penetrating E, Accurate E. Beasts that think themselves immortal are a pain to all swordsmen, this technique exists as the bane against all that think themselves untouchable. Grade E Action 1<br>
<br>
He would strike the bond between him and the fruit, attempting to sever even desire!</div>

Ceylan’s healing helped to keep Sawazuki stable, feeding her vitality while the tree drained it in equal measures. Gyoubu helped as well and it seemed like the pair was making progress out heading the tree.<br>

“Ack!” Gyoubu grunted, ripping at the cilia which had burrowed into her fur while she was working. “It is…” she looked at it while she’s back peddled. “Cool. Long Feather said not to feed the tree, but I’d heard rumors about it…” She lifted a foot which had a few cilia working through it, “Thirsty. Ugh. I’m all for the cycle of life, but I don’t want to be a part of it!”<br>

There were a few rock out croppings amongst the hills leading from from the copse of trees by the rice farm 200 feet to the [Corpse Tree]. <br>
<br>
Yukan and Gyoubu looked between the rocks and Sawazuki prone form. <br>

			To make matters worse, it felt like his own strength was being drained as well... He'd need to call in some aid to ensure he could carry the wounded further away from this tree and the ley-lines it had corrupted. He attempted to use [Summon Celestial F].

Light. Like the sun bursting from a fixed point a few feet from Ceylan light shinned in dazzling brilliance. To look upon the celestial light was to feel the warmth of pure love and the embrace of open acceptance.<br>
<br>
The [Corpse Tree] down the hill and along the path shrieked. Or at least something like the sound of a kettle of water boiling, a high pitched ear splitting hissing whistling sound came from it. Those nearby took a soul-sonic attack ((at Effectiveness 4 or take 1dmg and deaf)).  Eight of the ten of those entranced fell to the ground, clutching their bleeding ears. <br>
<br>
What emerged from Ceylan’s summons was a hound archon to those who knew of the mysteries of the divine. Or just a large, regal, ripped dogman to those that didn’t know better.<br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1678573162780-png.1071988/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1009/1009118-ca3e036ab5af07b5a371808f03d5c9c3.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1678573162780.png" title="1678573162780.png" width="100" height="158" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Tall and regal, the Hound Archon dropped to a knee the instant its eyes fell upon Ceylan. He lowered his head and placed the orichalcum blade into the earth. The touch of the holy blade made a hissing sound as the solar metal burned away at whatever was beneath the soil. The result was more shrieking by the [Corpse Tree] and the cilia nearby retreated. <br>
<br>
“Lord of Light, you grace this humble servant with your attention. How may<br>
Aurichal, serve you?”<br>
<br>
Upon being told what to do, Aurichal rose, hefting Sawazuki in one massive arm, leaping into the air, and landed fifty feet away on an outcrop of granite. He gently placed Sawazuki upon the ground. He raised his hand gathering a gleaming more of sun light [F - Aid: Mote of Vitality +1]. This he placed upon Sawazuki’s brow. The mote dissolved covering her body in glimmering sheen for a few seconds. It seemed to help, Sawazuki’s eyes fluttered open. <br>
<br>
Then like the setting sun, his brief three actions were spent and Aurichal faded away.<br>
<br>

Gyoubu, who understood quite well what Ceylan had done and the fact that the hound Archon was so subservient towards Ceylan. She stood slack jawed for once at a loss for words.<br>

A voice whispered in his ear. “The test is simple. Remove your hand from the box and you die.”<br>
<br>
The voice was quiet but filled with warmth. A soft chuckle sounded. “What’s in the hole?”<br>
<br>
“Pain.” The voice laughed in Indicus ear.<br>
<br>
And Indicus felt the pain of the silver substance eating away at his flesh. It was the same stuff as before. Some sort of moon silver acid that ate at mortal flesh and the minds of the weak. <br>
<br>
“An animal caught in a trap will gnaw off his own leg to escape. What will you do?”<br>
 <br>
Having been exposed before, Indicus felt a transmutation going on. Something within his core was resonating…telling him the flames within him were false. They were illusions human preconceptions had fostered upon him. Flame was not the essence of the moon. Pale white, reflecting the light of Sol but transmuting it. Indicus saw that the flame was but the beginning. He caught a glimpse of what should come next for a childe of the moon.<br>
<br>
“Hahaha,” then voice said, “Just kidding whoever you are. Enjoy as promised.”<br>
<br>
The illusion of pain faded. Indicus held six vials of ice cold quick silver. He could tell these were of the light side of the moon, they were intended to uplift. It was conveniently the same number as the number of male Tanuki from Sawazuki family who had been tortured…….<br>

Ko severed. His blade was useless. It was metal and sharp, sure but it was just a thing. It didn’t matter. There was no sword or there was one, what did it matter? Who care? Ko cut with his mind. The principle of the sword. <br>
<br>
Ko cut through the illusion of creation itself not with a blade but with Nishkriya, The Sword and Glory. What he saw was enlightenment itself, and he severed his relationship with the [Corpse Tree]. <br>
<br>
For a moment he saw the tree as it was. Dark and twisted, pregnant with bodies of the sacrificed. Its roots went deep, wrapped around something huge like a giant egg that the roots were embedded in. There was no grass or people, but in the distance he heard the baying of nightmare and something came rushing at him, blinking through the mindscape held between Ko and the Tree, now severed. For a moment he saw something that would haunt his nightmare. Then he was back and whatever it has been faded like a dream from his waking mind.<br>

Those that could, four bystanders and the units under his command moved to do as he said. Whiteclaw and their Scout unit traded 15 arrows with the coming units. The advantage was to Yukan. Several of the arrows hit the rushing spear minions, dropping them to the ground. A few were healed but almost an entire unit was wounded.</div>

With Ceylan's focus on his patient, he wasn't sure what the tree was up to (other than probably nothing good), as he realised the effects of his healing were decreasing as quickly as he got it in. Still, they at least managed to keep up and keep Sawazuki alive. At the mention of a certain name, Ceylan's ears perked up. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Longfeather, you say?”</b></span> That was the person he was meant to meet up with right? The one that had asked him to keep a low profile. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I'd wish to meet him, if he seems to know more about this odd tree.”</b></span> He said, figuring out this tree might've been the reason Longfeather wished to meet in the first place.<br>
<br>
His summons were answered once more, which made a feeling of relief wash over him. To his surprise, the tree reacted far more violently than expected. With no way to defend himself (speed/vitality F= 1 Effectiveness, no armour, no defence ability), he could feel his ears start to bleed and hurt as well. He could, however, undo the effects of it. Normally, he'd prioritise others more than himself, but losing his hearing would make it more difficult to keep helping others in the long-run as well, so he used [Divine Healing] on himself, Sawazuki, Gyoubu, Yukan and whichever 2/3 others were nearby enough to benefit from it.<br>
<br>
<b>Divine Healing</b> - Magic Affinity E, Magic Range F, Magic Targets F Healing E, Religion E, Energised E - Character channels the powers of the gods to heal significant injuries. - Grade E - 1 Post Cooldown.<br>
<br>
Ceylan was surprised by the tone at which he was addressed. He kept believing himself to be the servant of these divine beings, even though he summoned them, yet in the end they addressed him as if they were the servants. He'd not argue with it, however, as the Hound Archon was quick to bring Sawazuki to safety and seemed to even manage to aid her more. <br>
<br>
That left Ceylan at an impasse. He believed he'd be able to cleanse most of this curse, but definitely not at a level of ability that would keep his cover 'low' in any way shape or form. As he looked at Gyoubu, he realised he was already failing that part. What should he do? Make up an excuse? He didn't exactly have a good one. Actually, no, he did. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I am merely favoured by the heavens, that is all.”</b></span> He said, referring to his [Holy Child] title. To a degree, it was true, as he still wasn't sure why they were so subservient towards him in general.<br>
<br>
That's when he made up his mind. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I'm afraid I won't be of much use in this battle, getting caught up between clans. The best I could offer is healing, afterwards, but if they fight in this forest, they'll just end up feeding this tree. I won't be able to help all of them in such a scenario, so my only option would be to deal with the tree itself. Could you tell me how or where I can find Longfeather? I'd like to discuss this tree.”</b></span> Truth be told, he had no clue why these Tanuki were battling one another whilst this cursed tree was growing wild here. Had the other group planned on abusing it to catch this Yukan off guard? That was a reasonable conclusion. <br>
<br>
Either way, his battle wasn't against Tanuki, it was against this corrupted tree. Perhaps, however, he could convince Yukan of the same thing. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Yukan, I'm not sure what your reason for war is, but I must ask you to do whatever you can to arrange a cease-fire. If you fight here, the tree will devour all corpses and grow stronger and more corrupt, to a point we won't be able to deal with it any-more. In a worst case scenario, someone is purposefully orchestrating for this all to happen.”</b></span> There was one more option. Ceylan could attempt to stop the battle single-handedly, but once again, that would likely reveal what little remained of his cover. <br>
<br>
In the end, order to beat the tree, he needed to know why this Longfeather needed him to keep a low profile, which would in turn allow him to decide if it was worth breaking said low profile and to cleanse this blasted tree already. All things considered, he hadn't expected to grow sick of it this quickly, yet that's what happened.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Indicus flinched when the first voices came his eyes darting around searching. Then soon after the pain arrived, it felt as if his hand was in acid slowly dissolving away bit by bit. Indicus bit back a scream. Though through the pain somehow that familiarity came back a kind of ancestral instinct instructing him guiding a power within his chest. Indicus shut out the world focusing on the feeling. Instincts telling him his dragon fire is more then fire his strengths did not lay in pure destruction but misdirection.<br>
 <br>
Images flashed before him an indiscernible figure walking the streets watching some guards. With a casual use of their power the guards left their posts shouting after some unseen figure. <br>
Another image played in his mind another figure this one more feminine fighting a group, with a small stream of flame copies of themselves  emerged attacking with the pupet master when they struck an enemy was hit though no sign of a wound could be seen, the afflicted would scream as if they lost a limb. Images and scenes like this played back to back without pause fascinating Indicus to a point he couldn't feel the pain as well as pushing something to the forefront of his mind still just out of his grasp but it remained closer then ever.<br>
<br>
Then suddenly the pain and the visions stopped and he felt a weight in his hand. Pulling his hand from the hole he held six cold vials of the silver substance he saw before. Indicus quickly stashed the vials in his pack and looked at the events around him. He saw a small army in the distance, the dogkin priest talking to Yukan and the first blows against the charging spearmen. <br>
<br>
Indicus thought to the vials before shaking his head and readying himself for a fight.<br>

Yukan could see that everything was going to hell in a handbasket real fast. He was equally surpirsed however when Ceylan was able to bring forth the summon however upon reflection, it was no easy feat that someone could bring something from another plane there with them of all places. It made Yukan realize that Ceylan was perhaps more skilled than he had been initially letting on, his eyes widening some when it all connected in his mind about exactly what he was witnessing. He also noticed the strange happenings with Indicus and Ko, but he couldn't exactly head over there and risk himself getting incapacitated in such a dangerous area such as this.<br>
<br>
Yukan thankfully felt the healing effects of Ceylan which no doubt helped with the way the tree was trying to attack him as well as the others. <br>
<br>
With <b>Republic of Kuridan Culture F </b>responded to Ceylan, "I can tell that you aren't one who frequents the battlefield around these parts then,  Favored Priest, I greatly appreciate  someone of your caliber assisting  of our group  here healing Sawazuki and the others. I agree the tree is a much greater concern. However this is not intended to be a fight to the death for the signs are all there to suggest it's a skirmish to showcase battle prowess. With all of that said,  it would be dishonorable for me or this unit to readily  retreat and show our backs to the enemy. The last I saw of Elder Longfeather was at the Shrine of the Fallen Blossom. Once we get out of this mess I'm certain you can meet with him."<br>
<br>
Yukan spoke loud and clear all of what he said was true. Yukan felt the need to explain to the priest, perhaps Ceylan's area of dwelling was much less militant than Yukan's own.<br>
<br>
"They showcased aggression so it was only appropriate that I reciprocated their aggression, now that they've seen what we're capable of, we need to work on getting a distress signal to them, because a cease fire and collaborative front must be taken against this menace."<br>
<br>
Yukan agreed. With Yukan's knowledge of <b>Culture of Republic of Kuridan F</b>, Yukan felt confident in his assessment of the situation because had The third wanted to fight Yukan to the death he would have come out and formally challenged him, and they would have had a time and place to meet either 1v1 or  with their men to settle things, but that was not what was transpiring here, which was good for them.<br>
<br>
Yukan went into <b>Leadership F</b> "<b>We must Relay a distress signal to the rest of the Third Spear's forces who are present to indicate to them that now is not the time for skirmishing and we need to communicate the dire need  to join forces!" </b>Yukan proclaimed to anyone who  wasn't too preoccupied with the tree to see if they could get any kind of assistance.</div>

<br>​</div>....He saw it... What... He saw was... It... Whatever it was. Within the blink, the wake of a strike, he saw something he should not have. He saw a place of death, a being of morbidity... Death... This tree was a demon... It must be destroyed...<br>
<br>
He... However had found a new sword, or state of the sword, that which severs. His attempt, and success, at severing the connection between him and the tree brought fruit terrifying... But enlightening...<br>
<br>
Bringing his guard up he centered himself, he eyed the tree, and the ground beneath his feet... Those veiny things from earlier... How would he deal with such a creature...<br>
<br>
If this tree fed on blood...<br>
<br>
...Could it bleed...?<br>
<br>
...He shall see to it that it does. <br>
<br>
A moment to center himself, that is all he needed... Was whatever that rushed him still there? Protecting this egg? <br>
<br>
He had to rush. <br>
<br>
He eyed incoming fire, distancing himself from the incoming arrows but circling around the tree, keeping it at distance and observing the ground... The beast rushed at him, but he knew not from where.. This tree... Looked like an egg... Perhaps the body within it now was being used to feed it, perhaps it's roots went further...? <br>
<br>
His eyes went to the ground, eyeing the ground as he went for another vector of attack, he would trust hos instincts to deflect incoming blows.<br>

			He eyed incoming fire, distancing himself from the incoming arrows but circling around the tree, keeping it at distance and observing the ground... The beast rushed at him, but he knew not from where.. This tree... Looked like an egg... Perhaps the body within it now was being used to feed it, perhaps it's roots went further...?

A four of the arrows from the oncoming force peppered around Ko, but his sword made a series of deafening roars, cracking the arrows and sending a booming rapport in response to the affront. Interesting, of all the volleys of arrows, they were thickest towards Ko! <br>

Indicus not only had no problem retrieving the vials, the tree didn't seem to bother him much. He was able to withdraw back towards Yukan and the rest of the logistics unit without any cilia or anything else strange. Probably the weirdest moment was when he passed near where Ko had used his sword to "severe his connection" to the tree. That area felt cold and distant but in a way that resonated? Just like when Indicus was tracking with scent and survival, he felt another sense within him stir. <br>

Gyoubu raised an eyebrow. "Interesting. You'd be the second outsider he's solicited to help Yukan; how weird is that?" She frowned. "It's weird, because..." She frowned some more, scrunching up her eyebrows. "He said for us not to come back until we had finished." She tapped her lip, looking at the tree and scratched her head. "Something weird is definitely going on." <br>

With the parlay agreed by both sides, combat ceased and four members from the expeditionary force rode out on dire boars, it seems instead of the eclectic logistics unit Yukan had, this guy had opted for a unit of dire boars, intelligent animals! Their leader looked down at Yukan. <br>
<br>
Riku looked a little sleazy, in black leather armor and slicked back hair. He held his Yari casually. With him was another Shrine Maiden, Tanuki Scout Leader, and Tanuki Yari Leader. Riku was from the Masanori, but unlike Tashigoto was able to take control of the entire hunting force. <br>
<br>
"Yuki, my man, props for usurping Tashigoto. However, you are harboring a murderer of Clan Masanori. Relinquish that," he wrinkled his nose, "wild dog, and I won't trample your splintered forces." <i>Riku was referring to Ko. </i><br>

Repositioning an army was not technically against etiquette so long as his forces didn't attack or press on a fortified position. So continuing to allow his forces to crest the final hill and reposition themselves for optimal battle formation was borderline in this situation. <br>
<br>
His scout unit took up position behind one of the Yari units, which readied shields to protect the scout archers. The other two Yari units arrayed to the left and right. <br>

<br>
The swordsman stood tall amongst the pelting of arrows, eyeing the archers on far and the people speaking rather loudly... Hmm... A murderer...? Ah, the would be assassin, currently within the tree. <br>
<br>
Well, in truth he was no the slayer, the tree did the work. But.. Not like these people cared... <br>
<br>
So why should he? <br>
<br>
He had more important things to care about than this rabble, this tree for instance was a demon, a monster... <br>
<br>
But arrows... Yes.. They are very unpleasant... <br>
<br>
Hrmm... What to do... <br>
<br>
Instead of dignifying the upstart with a word, he considered the tree once more... His focus returned.. His blade at the ready... He took in a deep breath... exhaled... <br>
<br>
His one technique could cut between... But the rest were of the corporeal variety... Perhaps... At the foot of this beast... He would not need to worry as much... The way is pulsed and shuddered in that vision... It was not worthy of this world... And it stung his soul to envision it's grasp on that person he attempted to take alive... <br>
<br>
He lowered his stance once more, and with a shout, began his assault upon this heart of darkness, of which his sword could hope to reach. <br>
<br>
His first strike, at the spirit.<br>
<br>
Inescapable Death, Weapon Mastery E, Multidimensional E, Penetrating E, Accurate E, Hot Shot E, Incurable E, Contact E, Blight E (razor sharp), Continuing E (Bleed), Penetrating E, Accurate E. Beasts that think themselves immortal are a pain to all swordsmen, this technique exists as the bane against all that think themselves untouchable. Grade E Action 1<br>
<br>
And within a breath, the sword strike at the body, perhaps, in theory, this shall strike both.<br>
<br>
Sword of Descernment, Weapon Mastery F, Continueing (Bleed) F, Blight F (Razor sharp), Contact F, Penetrating F, Accurate F, a practiced strike of the blade, from whence the rest come. Grade F, Action 1<br>
<br>
With the last strike, he was on the other side, returning his blade to it's sheath, the mithril shine hidden from light once more.<br>
<br>
<br>
Action 1 Move<br>
Action 2 Ability effectiveness 9 (+1 on multi strike)<br>
Action 3 Ability effectiveness 8 (gives +1 to above if both to same target)</div>

Indicus listened to the demands of the enemy leader demanding the swordsman that at this moment seemed to be swinging his weapon at the tree in almost a trance while keeping the reason of their demand vague. Indicus felt that Yukan would not give in without further elaboration if only because the "wild dog" had helped them. <br>
Not wanting to make relations go sour but unable to fully hold himself back Indicus whispered to Yukan "Is it me or is this enemy leader wording things as if the swordsman already killed the entire clan? I wonder if the clown can be made to elaborate for us who was killed instead of this vague bullshit."<br>

 <br>
Truthfully Yukan was relieved to see that Ko managed to deal with the arrows so skillfully, indeed it seemed he was a skilled swordsman. He too found it curious how Indicus seemed to make it back so easily from the tree, from what he had seen briefly  at least, his focus had been all over the place from trying to avoid the where the tree could touch as well as paying attention to the summon, Ceyland  and the dying one, while having to give orders to start a period of parlay so that more people didn't get unnecessarily hurt.<br>
<br>
Yukan thought the choice of boars was interesting as they road over, but now he finally had a moment to think while he managed to minimize his contact to the tree as much as possible given the circumstances. Yukan gave Riku a bit of a bow, with <b>Republic of Kurdian Etiquette F. </b>The situation was actually better than he thought it was for him at least. They weren't there to prove their military superiority over Yukan, nor were they trying to kill him or his forces, they were there on the business of capturing someone who supposedly killed a member of clan Masanori. If this was true and it was considered a Murder title, it would be criminal for Yukan to knowingly further assist Ko, but if he did not possess the murderer title for this act then Yukan was in the right. He needed to know more of what happened first, as he gave a bit of a nod towards Indicus before looking back to Riku.<br>
<br>
It all made much more sense now, Riku and the forces who were with him were simply carrying out the law of the land, people could kill and capture criminals who held serious titles like that without consequence if that was true.<br>
<br>
"I now understand. I was unaware of any criminal status pertaining to the sword wielder. as there was no form of appraisal used on him.. He just happened to be around here, so there was no intention to harbor him." He'd gesture towards Ko.<br>
<br>
"Right now he is currently engaged in battle against a  tree of foul origin which has been doing  harm to the populous from what we can gather.. with such a  serious accusations such as murder, you are certain that it is this  Matasu  member  is who is responsible for this grave assault against the Masanori clan  ?" he inquired, referring to Ko once more. He wanted to know if they had scanned him for his titles and knew for a fact that Ko was responsible so he could better verify their claim.<br>
<br>
"Because if this was a recent occurrence, when my group arrived here we saw him strike someone who had attempted to fatally wound Sawazuki, who as you can see is barely holding on,. He'd then gesture towards her, <br>
<br>
"He... did not strike this figure down with the intent to kill from what I could see, but instead attempted to wound to debilitate them but unfortunately the tree consumed them..shortly after."<br>
<br>
"I will affirm that I appreciate your willingness to talk, particularly  in such a dire situation as you can see with a youth near death and a dangerous tree, my forces splintered because I thought they were best suited elsewhere..since i thought we were trying to apprehend an individual..rather than whatever this thing is.." <br>
<br>
"Regardless it would be best if our forces united against our common enemies, of course that would include the criminal  you are speaking of assuming he has been  identified and appraised to procedure." Yukan reaffirmed, implying he was agreeing to relinquish him if they could show him it was just. <br>
<br>
If Ko really was who they claimed he was Yukan had no reason or incentive to protect him, murder was a dishonorable deed, indeed. Yukan was hoping if anything that they could join forces and take down the common threats to Kuridan whether the criminal story checked out or if it was was tree, whatever the hostile was in either case. If Riku's group  was smart if they were perusing an alleged dangerous murderer criminal , then surely they would have brought someone or something that they could appraise Ko with.</div>

<br>
Yukan's explanation was a big relief. With this not being a battle to the death, he'd been overly concerned for all the wrong reasons. Well, at least on that particular topic. The tree itself was still reason enough to be concerned. Even so, it did make him wonder. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Then why would someone attempt to kill her?”</b></span> He asked, looking at Sawazuki. His first assumption that she'd gotten caught-up in some infighting went out the window, meaning this might be a purposeful attack. It was a source of concern. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Perhaps she found out about the tree and someone attempt to keep its secrets hidden from us by getting rid of her, only to be caught by the very tree they'd been protecting.”</b></span><br>
<br>
The tanuki's next statement was ironic, in a sense. He gave Ceylan the location he was looking for, something Ceylan figured he'd be able to find, but also the command not to pursue it. After all, the 'once we get out of this mess' part wasn't lost on Ceylan. This tanuki was demanding him to stick around and help out, wasn't he? Yet from what Ceylan gathered, he wasn't meant to be getting too involved in these dealings. Hence the undercover part. It was a fairly troubling position to be in. Ignore Yukan and hopefully find Longeather in time? Commit to 'help sorting this mess' and just reveal his cover and go all-out against this tree? Trying to stick around and stay undercover? Honestly, none of those options felt particularly great.<br>
<br>
Ceylan watched as Yukan sent out a distress signal, which managed to buy him an opportunity to talk with the opposing party. For a moment, Ceylan debated joining him, but then he decided against it. It wasn't his place to get involved in tanuki war-games. Besides, he didn't want to be seen as partial to Yukan's side. All he cared about was dealing with this tree and whomever or whatever might be behind it.<br>
<br>
It's why Gyoubu's words stood out to him. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“The second one? Who was the first?”</b></span> That confusion was only furthered by her next line. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Until you had finished what, exactly?”</b></span> The logical assumption would be the war games, but he felt there was a fair chance there was something different. Most of all, however, was the fact that she instantly considered Ceylan's question to be the result of Longfeather hiring him. After all, Ceylan himself wasn't even entirely sure about it, logical as it might be.<br>
<br>
His debate on what to do, however, took yet another turn. He noticed his fellow canine was <s>already playing with the evil stick</s> going in on the offensive. Alone, without much preparation. Ceylan sighed, <s>being jealous and wanting to join in on that stick-game</s> worrying that his fellow canine was only going to make things worse without back-up. Then again, Ko's attacks might be a chance for Ceylan to learn more about the tree. <br>
<br>
He finally managed to settle on his course of action. One he'd share with Gyoubu. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Please look after the girl, I'll try to learn what I can from the tree whilst the swordsman is attacking it.”</b></span> He said, talking about Sawazuki and Ko respectively. That said, he wasn't planning to go in alone. <br>
<br>
His earlier summons hand been answered, meaning he already knew it was possible to establish a link to the celestial realms from here. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Please answer my prayers once more.”</b></span> He'd mumble, before attempting [Summon Celestial E], this time putting in ever the slightest bit more magic in an attempt to create a more stable and lasting connection for the summon, so that it could stay here longer. Upon hopefully being successful, his command would be simple. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Please help the swordsman over there bring down this foul tree, whilst I attempt to study it for any possible clue as to its origins or weaknesses.”</b></span><br>
<br>
As for studying it, Ceylan would attempt to 'read' whatever was going on in and around this tree by going on the 'offensive' against it, attempting to cleanse parts of the curse by carefully probing at the 'infected' ley lines heading for and from the tree from a distance, hoping to pick up on some things and maybe even use the moments it'd be weakened by Ko and the summoned aid to fight against it.<br>

	</div>With a potential parlay in play, White Claw and the other scouts reformed near Yukan, Masanori, Ceylan, and Gyoubu. Thus, White Claw was able to respond to Ceylan's question, "Your holiness," his feathered head gave a slight bow, "The why is at the crux of this entire situation." Cocking his head to the side as birds are want to do, he peered towards the army approaching and the tree with dark, avian eyes. The eyes of an owl were always hard to read, radiant orange eyes with dark, black pits in the center. "She was the origin of the attack on the Peony Blossom establishment owned by the Masanori's."<br>

Likely more political." He frowned. "Sawazuki was well regarded as a geisha and was a good earner." He tilted his head from side to side, deciding how much to say. "The attack on us and by extension the room and the samurai of my family hurts our prestige, and thus could be viewed as a political attack. However, why or at least the original reason might now matter less than the story being told, which is happening within my families different groups and amongst the elders." He looked towards the tree, "But a story could be shaped from this and no doubt the tree plays a role. If not in the beginning now, especially as Sawazuki was told or has told us at least to come here."<br>

	</div>"Your clan is too political, but what do you expect of those who dirty their souls with coin." Gyoubu snorted, "Whose only redeeming quality is the ability to count money and move money. It's really quite disgusting." She shivered and turned towards Yukan, "You need a strong hands, hands that can do anything that needs doing," she shivered, "A will of forged steel and words that will move Tanuki to great heights." She heaved before turning back to Masanori Tashigoto, "Which is why the Masanori's are fated to fall, never to rise."<br>
<br>
"Perhaps," Masanori Tashigoto said, "Perhaps." He hefted his spear, "I have strong hands and a keen mind. You of the Kiryoku are too emotional, which is why you are fated to fall and never to rise." He sneered back, showing sharp, white teeth.<br>
<br>
"As if. We have the Fifth Spear and our elders know the secret arts, our clan is strong and holy." She gestured to herself.<br>
<br>
And so the two of them continued to bicker back and forth.<br>

"Hmm?" Gyoubu said, frowning, "Oh," her eyes lowered to slits, "I warned Yukan about THAT one. You can never trust a kitsune. I don't know where Longfeather finds these people-" She opened and then closed her mouth, "I mean, you seem holy, devout, and dependable. I hope you don't go crazy and try and kidnap one of us like the last one did." She shook her head, "Kitsune are rather mercurial and I have my doubts if Longfeather properly appraised the shaman." She shrugged.<br>
<br>
"Well that's typical Long Feather for you. He believes in teaching by creating space. Cracks as he likes to call it. It's up to us to fill in the gaps, learn how to leap them, and all that stuff.

Riku listened to what Yuki asked and gave it a fair amount of thought, flashing a smile and nodding along as Yukan asked him questions.<br>

"Oh, it's absolutely a recent occurrence." Riku flashed another smile, running a hand through his hair. "Sawazuki was fleeing the scene and running towards the evil tree is certainly not blameless. I'm not sure who in their right mind would allow her free. I don't think that was ever in the arrangement with Elder Masanori Nyctereutes. "I'm not entirely sure her hanging out is for the best at this point. The whole matter has been a huge embarssement for you. I heard you even let one of the Masanori family's rice farms to burn down."<br>

			<i>((FLASH BACK STARTS)) </i><br>
It was a long night quelling the patrons of the Five Thousand Peony Blossoms, the Masanori Geisha House. This was a time of revelry and it was a sore point in the Masanori House's honor that such an event had transpired. While it was true that Yukan was the commander of a group of hunters, it was also true that a potential crisis loomed for the Masanori House. Thus within thirty minutes one of the elders had showed up. The rich browns and tan coloring so common of the tanuki had turned silver and white with age.<br>
<br>
<b>Masanori Nyctereutes</b> was the true owner of the Five Thousand Peony Blossoms, and his arrival was a humiliation for <b>Masanori Tashigoto, </b>who was the scion within Yukan's hunting group. Tashigoto for his part explained the situation and surprisingly Gyoubu didn't heckle. Yukan, Whiteclaw, and the logistics unit were interviewed in turn as well.<br>

Riku tilted his head back and belted out a laugh. "He drew steel without intent to kill, huh?" Riku arched an eyebrow, the smirk smoldering on his face. "Yukan you are something else. You are either the noblest Tanuki I've ever met or the dumbest." Riku shook his head, snorting. "Your man smashed my man so hard that he sent the corpse flying into the Corpse Tree." Riku pointed. "My scouts saw the whole thing. Are you telling me your man appraised mine and saw a criminal title before acting, because we observed no such title on Masanori Youthori ((<i>the fanny pack ninja</i>)) before she was sent to her death." Riku pointed the a talon at Gyoubu, "And we all got the warning about the Corpse Tree waking up. Seems rather convenient way to white wash killing one of my men, and someone from House Masanori to boot!"<br>

Riku tilted his head, watching Ko advance towards the tree alone. "I don't know, I could just wait for you to overcommit again and pepper you with arrows. I don't think your man will do too well against several volleys of arrows while he engages the tree."<br>

"Riku-"  Masanori Tashigoto started to say.<br>
<br>
"That's Commander Riku, because I actually command an entire expeditionary force, unlike you <i>Goto." </i><br>

Tashigoto ground his teeth together and seethed, but it only lasted a moment. "If the tree is at fault for killing Masanori Youthori ((<i>the fanny pack ninja</i>)), then there is only merit to be gained for all parties."<br>
<br>
Riku gave Tashigoto a long look before nodding and looking back towards Yukan. "Very well, I will allow you to join with us and seek revenge for the wrongful death of poor Youthori. The issue of manslaughter by your man will be deferred until after we've vanquished the tree, and as you said since the tree is at fault, it owes the Masanori clan a life's debt for taking one of ours. All its spoils will therefore be forfeit to our house to pay the balance of the life lost. We will let elder <b>Nyctereutes </b>determine if there's sufficient to settle the issue of man slaughter or perhaps a surplus, albeit unlikely."<br>

Once more radiant light, this time brighter and larger. A wheel of burning light was a vortex of undulating warmth and holy celestial energy. Aurichal once more emerged from Ceylan’s summons. The tall and regal, the Hound Archon once more dropped to a knee the instant its eyes fell upon Ceylan. He lowered his head and placed the orichalcum blade into the earth.<br>
<br>
“Lord of Light, you grace this humble servant with your attention once more. Eagerness is the seed of greed not yet sprouted. I was not eager to return, and yet I had lingered to see if there was yet you might allow me to do for you. Patience is the virtue of time given purpose." He nodded to himself. "Yes, this is what it was."<br>
<br>
Upon being told what to do, Aurichal rose, ripping his holy blade from the ground. "Vile are the demons who think they have a purpose in this world. I am blessed that my sword might be the instrument through which we remove this blight from the glorious garden of this world.<br>
<br>
Aurchichal's legs compressed once more and with a burst of celestial light he leapt into the air. A contrail of golden glitter trailed in his wake [Jump F - Energized Leap of the Golden Ray]. While in midair, he double jumped, light bursting and he climbed higher into the air [Jump F - Energized Leap of the Golden Ray]. The blade in his hands swelled with holy light, absorbing the sun's light and focusing it like a magnifying glass.<br>

Ko's attack was flawless, but again that was also the problem. To strike the spirit he needed to strike into the Mindscape again. He struck in the same place as before. The point of severance where he touched upon [Nishkriya, The Sword and Glory]. The spark of enlightenment. He had to found that which he had already severed. Luckily, he'd seen Indicus linger in a place that was like the Lagrange point between where he'd been and the [Corpse Tree] still was. He had his own instincts at work as well.<br>
<br>
Once more, Ko cut through the illusion of creation itself taking the half forgotten dregs of his profound insight and infusing it with [Inescapable Death], <i>the glory that comes after the sword</i>. If he could find the the true name of that, perhaps he'd be another step along his path.<br>
<br>
Creation had formed a multi-dimensional scar from the prior severance, almost impossible to detect without the proper senses or at least the proper state of mind. This word of severance,  slices of minds capes floating in forgotten nightmares was the shores of a vast swamp of lost things. A swamp were perhaps things greater than [Hill Toads] could be found. Past the madness and despair, life grew in it's own way.<br>
<br>
Ko's sword strike ate at this obstacle, it was perhaps the armor of the world, creation's shield that the true heart of the [Corpse Tree] hid behind. Ko's art penetrated through this, eating away at it with a sharpness that was supernatural. The edges of creation bleed like flaps of exposed skin oozing grey globs of puss and inky streams of black blood. It was a window or a door into the place. His sword strike found this weak point and doubled the damage he had done before. This damage was filled with the portion of enlightenment he'd gained and it would take great power to close what had now become incurable!<br>
<br>
Ah but Creation tried so hard to heal and contain this blight back into the hidden places. Ko's sword art was fantastically precise. He was in the zone. But it wasn't enough. Except Ko wasn't alone!<br>
<br>
"Cal Tasroth, the Archon of the Gate!" Aurchichal roared, his eyes a mad gleam of molten gold as he descended from the heavens. His sword carried the magnified light of Sol Invictus the Unconquered Sun! The blade painted a path of golden yellow from the apex of his double jump to the precise point where Ko had torn open Creation and the place where the [Corpse Tree]'s mind-spirit dwelt. An explosion of golden light shot forward from the impact point and continued forward in a line of golden yellow into the opened space and directly hit the trunk of the tree. The light melted the exoskeleton, shattering it and exposing hundreds of bodies packed together, interwoven into the semblance of a tree but in no other way could it be considered one!<br>
<br>
These long dead, half rotten corpses tumbled from where Aurchichal's attack had hit. Still that was a good distance into the exposed mindscape. It was hard to say if distance worked the same way in a place of mind and nightmare.<br>
<br>
"Into the breach!" Aurchichal roared again and rushed through the exposed "hole" between Creation and <i>elsewhere</i>. There was no grass or people, but in the distance could be heard the baying of nightmare and something else from deeper in the black and grey woods, the marshy swamp of forgotten nightmare.<br>
<br>

			As for studying it, Ceylan would attempt to 'read' whatever was going on in and around this tree by going on the 'offensive' against it, attempting to cleanse parts of the curse by carefully probing at the 'infected' ley lines heading for and from the tree from a distance, hoping to pick up on some things and maybe even use the moments it'd be weakened by Ko and the summoned aid to fight against it.

Ceylan made great strides in teasing apart the curse. Of course things were unfolding faster than one would usually take to assemble a three thousand piece jigsaw puzzle, but still Ceylan was brilliant and skillful. Even without showing off, Ceylan had profound insights into the body and soul.<br>
<br>

			<div class="bbCodeBlock-content">What Ceylan realized was that the tree was functioning like a heart. A knot of curses and twisted essence. He could see it quite clearly; however, there was an oddity. The crimson essence flowing inward perhaps from other locations towards the tree, making it blossom. However, it was swirling and being transformed somehow, used to keep the tree, sustain its blossom. Even before the attack, the tree seemed to be dying, the patterns of its cursed essence unraveling. But there was something deeper as well. Something like an echo or the phantom of something from deeper, beneath the tree. <br>
<br>
Perhaps the twisted essence was an attempt to purge the darkness from beneath it? Following the curses intertwined it was hard to tease out but the curses were thicker deeper. Perhaps it was something like a concentration gradient, darkness flowing towards areas of higher purity but with the incorporation of the new corpse, the blood, spiritual essence changed the concentration? <br>
<br>
He realized that the ground was absorbing not only all the blood spilled but according to his <b>Divine Senses </b>he knew that it was the "corrupted" black leyline that ran back from beyond the rice farm, through the copse, and down toward the tree that was "sucking" in now. Whereas before the flow of the leyline had mimicked the flowing pulsing of arteries, pushing black "essence" away from the tree, now the leyline acted more like a vein, drawing crimson "essence" towards the tree. <br>
<br>
And then Ko and Aurchichal opened and made things so much clearer. The attack within the mindscape destroyed half of the tree in Creation. And the black essence surged back outward like a cyst that had been burst, all the poison and foulness that had been "encapsulated" by one of the "lymph nodes" had been released free to flood back out across the "lymphatic system" the leylines carrying a trebling of dark, black essence.</div>

* The sounds of something horrible, a nightmare from deeper in is echoing through the mindscape and approaching.</div>

<br>
<br>
The whole 'gang' seemed to be showing up, now that talking had started. They each gave Ceylan a fair bit to think about. White Claw greeting him with 'Your holiness' had clearly caught him off guard a bit, but even more so had his admission that Swazuki was at the crux of the entire situation. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I... was not aware of that.”</b></span> Had he not been listening enough, or had nobody bothered to tell him such a crucial piece of information? He wasn't sure, but he'd commit it to memory now. <br>
<br>
He wasn't sure what to do about the two arguing tanuki's, until he realised they'd keep going.<span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“We've no time to argue amongst ourselves.”</b></span> He'd state, hoping to stop them so they'd focus on more pressing matters. For example, whomever 'that one' was that Gyoubu seemed to know as well. A kitsune... Mitsunari? <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Ugh.”</b></span> He grunted a little, as a sting of pain arose from the memory of having his legs gnawed upon by Mitsunari's ogres. He quickly recovered. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“You're not talking about a man named Mitsunari, are you?”</b></span> Although their splitting up was more peaceful than their meeting, Ceylan wasn't sure what to think about potentially meeting that particular Kitsune again.<br>
<br>
The fact that Gyoubu mentioned kidnapping, which was exactly what Mitsunari had done to him, didn't make him all that much more confident. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Don't worry, I'm normally the one being kidnapped.”</b></span> He replied, not even intending it as joke, despite how it was likely to come across as one. Still, the idea that Mitsunari might be around made him ever the bit more weary about what they might be up against.<br>
<br>
Seeing a shaky peace form between the two Tanuki groups was a welcome sight. It'd mean their troubles were every so slightly more manageable. There was only one thing he deemed he would wish to add to their conversation. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“With all due respect, regardless of who exactly killed Masanori, this tree is corrupted by a strong evil and a clear danger to all of us.”</b></span> He wanted to clear that up, just so they'd know what they were dealing with that bit better.<br>
<br>
On the topic of dealing with things, he nodded to Gyoubu. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Thank you, we'll have many questions for her when she reawakens.”</b></span> He replied, wondering how she pieced into the whole of this. <br>
<br>
Once more, his summoning was answered. The same being from before had heeded the call. Yet again, Ceylan wasn't sure how to respond. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“No, please, it is I who's graced by your heeding of my calling.”</b></span> He replied, still feeling bad that he was pretty much just randomly calling folk from their daily lives and routines to come fix up problems for him. He honestly didn't get why they were all so happy to serve, but he wouldn't question it. He needed them too much to be doing so.<br>
<br>
To that extend, he was baffled at the sights the Archon was presenting him with. He wasn't even sure what was happening, but it was clearly powerful. Yet it also revealed the foul truth of this tree. Rotten corpses falling out of it. A shiver ran down his spine, not enjoying these sights of death and desecration. He was surprised when Aurchichal called out for them to enter the breach... how did he know that would happen? <br>
<br>
He didn't have time to think on it for too long. After all, he had a curse to figure out. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“The tree.”</b></span> He'd speak, trying to keep his focus on what he was investigating whilst sharing some of his findings. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“It's like the heart of curses and twisted essence, yet it was dying... there is something deeper in it as well...”</b></span> <br>
<br>
<span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“The tree using the corrupted Ley Lines to draw in crimson essence towards the tree, which it seems to be using for something. Or maybe the curses are... it's difficult to tell. Perhaps... perhaps someone tried setting this up to save the tree from dying, yet failed and turned it into this monstrosity.” </b></span> He already had a clue who that 'someone' might be, as that'd explain Sawazuki's role in all of this, unless she'd just been a middle-man. It could also explain Longfeather's riddles, for he might not have wished to decided if it would be better to let an important tree die or to sacrifice lives to keep it alive. All that was just speculation, so he tried to focus on the facts again.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“It's spreading a dark, vile essence, after being attacked. Like it turned the crimson life essence into a vile and dangerous plague.”</b></span> That was the best way he could describe it. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Whatever is doing this, is inside of there and should be destroyed.”</b></span> He concluded.<br>
<br>
That's when he suddenly spotted the zombies. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I'm afraid I won't be able to fight them, but I'll do my best to support everyone, so please, help me reach the core of this tree so that I can try to cleanse it.”</b></span> He was really hoping that, with some [Empathy F] and Yukan's aid, he could get there without falling pray to the massive amount of undead. If the others would enter the portal, he'd follow along with them. Even though the sound of something approaching them from the other side was sending shivers down from his spine all the way to his tail.<br>

Yukan could already tell that this was going to be a difficult scenario to navigate. He had someone accusing someone else of murder. He could tell that Riku was playing things awfully on the edge of what was acceptable too when he could see the shifting of forces. Granted he knew even someone like Riku was just doing his job, and there wasn't too much else to think about on the matter. The discourse between Gyoubu and Masanori Tashigoto was interesting but not the most important at the moment since they had a tree to deal with and Ko whose name needed to be cleared. Anyone could tell that as Ko fought the tree the situation was becoming increasingly more dire. He did almost wince a bit however when the shrine maiden mentioned the Kitsune from before, that was quite problematic and Yukan still regretted it even then, why had he taken a chance on such an individual when he had such a dependable Shrine maiden right here who had done nothing but well by him, at the very least he had apologized and would continue to try his best to atone to her, until it felt satisfactory on his end.<br>
<br>
Yukan needed the resolve to follow through on what he needed to do. Even with Riku's words which were clearly intended to get a rise out of Yukan, now was not the time to start getting into a verbal back and forth with him. He wasn't about to get into a discourse about him failing or not.<br>
<br>
Yukan continued his best to respond with <b>Republic of Kuridan Etiquette F </b><br>
"...Whatever you may have heard took place when I was trying to get to the bottom of why civilians within our administrative region were being harassed and tortured, and the supernatural was at play, the farm house getting set ablaze was part of this treacherous activity to our people, and the flames were quelled. Sawazuki fled during the commotion." He spoke truthfully.<br>
He listened to Riku laugh, and during this whole exchange Yukan kept a serious look on his face being called noble or stupid, whatever he called him didn't matter in this moment, there were much more pressing matters.<br>
<br>
"Believe me when I say this, that Matasu family member has no affiliation with my operations here, even with this said, as far as I'm concerned he was a bystander who saw a young woman getting attacked by an armed assailant  and responded  what he thought was appropriate,  Furthermore I have no command over his actions, he is willfully engaging this evil as we speak on his own volition." Yukan really did want to clear up the fact as far as he was concerned no harboring had been committed nor did he consider Ko one of his men.<br>
<br>
"I heard intelligence from Indicus, a member of my logistics team that there was a suspicious individual fleeing the scene of  when the farm house went ablaze, and he said that they headed this direction, as a result I took my unit and went to investigate and ended up here." Yukan responded to that bit.<br>
<br>
Yukan tried his best not to react to Riku's hardball mention of showering him with arrows. He instead after Riku had his back and forth with Tashigoto had their back and forth,  Yukan gave Riku and company a bow. "Thank you for your benevolence, let us rid the world of  this evil together and right this injustice." <br>
<br>
 Something was definitely feeling amiss here, why was that Masanori clan member trying to attack Sawazuki? There still hadn't been an answer there. When the tree started to produce even more problematic imagery and sounds Ceylan spoke up.<br>
<br>
He listened intently when the holy man spoke. After listening to Ceylan's explanation, Yukan felt inclined to trust him after he quelled the crowd earlier and now continued to bring beings from above to his assistance. With Leadership F, Yukan spoke more clearly. <b>"Well then you all heard commander Riku, we are now working together to defeat this menace.  My scouts get ready to assist Ceylan with his efforts to destroy the core by providing supportive fire froma distance. My logistics keep Sawazuki stable, and get ready to provide additional support for Ceylan so that he can cleanse this vile core. Upon breaching into the tree there are many hostiles from within the tree, so  be prepared for combat." </b>He proclaimed careful not to give orders to anyone who wasn't under his command not wanting to overstep boundaries so that  Riku was free to do with his forces what he saw fit to assist. <br>
Yukan then readied  Yari once more and faced the core looking into it ready to enter alongside Ceylan since from the sound of it they would have to enter that plain to stop this tree once and for all.</div>

<br>
<br>
....Silence.... <br>
<br>
<br>
...Then the storm...<br>
<br>
A flood of thoughts, between strikes of a blade and the timely aide of another. He struck at this beast's core and it burst like a mound of puss and vile ichor. The sucking leech has been cut loose, for the better perhaps now that it's lie had been revealed. <br>
<br>
But what lay there now was a wound to a land of death, a small place beyond what is normally acessable by mortals. He had cut through to it, not from the body but through the lie between. <br>
<br>
With a sword of truth, the lie has been excised, but what lay beneath the lie is oft not pretty. <br>
<br>
A sword is truth, but perhaps also a lie? A lie to become other things, to wear a mask. But at what point does a mask become truth? If extra metal is forged into a sword, is that the same sword? <br>
<br>
The corpses were the tree, a fount of death, a nest of revulsion that supped on the living life of those it captured. <br>
<br>
Is that different from a normal tree? Taking life from the ground to live? Or perhaps a man taking fruit from a tree? To eat, be eaten, to grow and die. When does a lie end and a truth begins? In perception of it? In desire of truth? Minutes ago many saw it as a tree, he only shook off such an illusion with his training..  <br>
<br>
No matter, his ally in slaying the siphoning egg has entered the breach between this and the rotting world. It is time to... Ah... That... Is also of undead... <br>
<br>
<br>
"Hmm... I'll need another sword... Or... Fifty..." his eyes gazed towards the host, seemingly coming to march to the portal. At least they weren't getting angry at him and breaking... Thats good, least he didn't have to worry about that. Though his eyes went to those two important looking Tanuki, they seemed rather... Unhappy... Was this about the assassin? Did the tree kill someone important? If this falls on his head his intent may be called into question, in truth, he acted without thought, but no intent to kill. <br>
<br>
He may have to prove his ability to maim and not slay. <br>
<br>
Simple enough, if given chance at all. The new noble looking tanuki looks the type to scheme. <br>
<br>
"Come quickly if you aim to fight! Its that or die to the already dead." He approaches others, before readying to face the portal once more, standing straight, tall, and focused on the fight ahead.<br>
<br>
"You stand with Ko Matatsu, student of Kiichi Hogen, Kurama Tengu. <br>
<br>
And I shall take the big one's head."<br>
<br>
He made a big claim, but the spray of black blood upon him, his tattered attire... <br>
<br>
He looked more of a barking savage dog than a budding master of the sword.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">This part of the Republic was on the border of the great central lake and the intersection of two might rivers. Flooding was quite common; however, as a result the rice paddies are fertile and their yield is high. It was not always this way. Before the great magi and demigods cast by the central lake, this land was a swamp, created from the deaths of billions of plants and animals decaying beneath it's swollen, distended grey green waters. Then the whole region had been terraformed and the swamp forgotten. <br>
<br>
<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/attachments/1680185200234-png.1077277/" target="_blank"><img src="https://www.rpnation.com/data/attachments/1014/1014407-82cd129c93d4f18d2fc58d3da8841a5a.jpg" class="bbImage " style="" alt="1680185200234.png" title="1680185200234.png" width="252" height="100" loading="lazy"></a><br>
<br>
Beyond the portal was madness and nightmare. A distant swamp, all encompassing but just out of reach, surrounded the area. The ground was soggy, seeping pale, pink fluid with the strong cent of infection, rot, and urine. It was acrid and burned the inside of nostrils like snorting salt. The burning ran up the most sensitive passages of the nose and into the sinuses like a lingering hangover, dull pain and sharpness at all the wrong times. There was no light in this place, just the absence of darkness. The sky was a patina over colors of iron with hints of brass. The air was thick and soupy, a sense of pressure trying to hold a person in place so they might sink into the fetid waters and muck beneath. <br>
<br>
Time and space were at odds with each other in this place. A single step always seemed to carry a person away from any other person, if that required them moving five feet or half an inch. Thus as people poured through the portal they spread out like a diffuse cloud of humanity, one that this place was eager to divide and conquer. <br>
<br>
The only light, and that light was fading, was Aurichal. While he didn't have the Sol Invictus to charge his sword, the celestial blade gleamed a dull, scintillating gold. Like a viper, Aurichal dove into the zombies, pivoted and leaped out again. Jump, slash, jump was a steady rhythm in the distance. He was distant. Now that everyone had crossed over and WANTED to advance on the zombies and the trees, they seemed further away. But everything was further away. <br>
<br>
OOC <br>
1) Moving in nightmares is always a challenge, good luck figuring out how to get what you want when the goal of a nightmare is to do the opposite. I'm excited to see your creativity! <br>
2) For ease of thought, the zombies can be considered 20 units of 5 minions.<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">We will treat each minion squad as a single “unit”.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">All Units (5x) have a base effectiveness of 4 and HP of 2 per minion. </li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Effectiveness on their actions either:<ul>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">3x attack, defend, or move actions.</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">+10, +8, +6 or </li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">+8, +8, +8</li>
</ul></li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Thus, each unit has 10HP, when their HP drops to 5 or lower, they lose 1 effectiveness per HP lost. (HP5 = -1, HP1 = -4).</li>
<li data-xf-list-type="ul">Units are weak to AOE, which functions like Hot Shot with double damage when effectiveness is calculated. OR you could choose for AOE to operate like Penetration reducing effectiveness per grade. Choice must be made in advance. I won't keep track of individual minion damage, just the damage of units. </li>
</ul>3) Yukan has 1 unit of Scouts, which can shoot at range and leap into the air. They are lead by Whiteclaw who is a hero and thus when embedded in the unit, the unit takes damage before Whiteclaw does. <br>
4) Riku brought all of his units: 2 spear (melee attack), 1 scout (range attack), 1 mounted spear (Riku leads, they can charge AOE once per round). Players are free to join any unit as a hero and lead it to make my life easier and you less likely to die. Helping Riku prevail and keeping his units alive will result in rewards as you might expect. <br>
5) There are 3 healers currently: Riku's Shrine Maiden, Gyoubu, and Ceylan. <br>
6) What remains of the tree is on the other side of the 20 units of zombies. The tree appears to be "hollowed" out. See picture below. It's deep darkness inside, but it likely leads DEEPER if you want to go down and find out what's down there you'll have to defeat or at least bypass the zombies. <br>
7) The zombies are moving freely (nightmare isn't messing with them) and all heading towards y'all so if you do nothing expect 1d4 units of zombies to surround you next round. <br>

As the group entered through the mysterious zone, it wasn't long before he felt the need to talk through some more with Riku and the others. Yukan had his spear ready and stayed with the rest of the group for now, lacking quite a bit in comparison to Riku considering he mainly had his scouts and healers.<br>
<br>
Yukan promptly started off by using his ability <b>To Arms! E</b><br>
<br>
"As Stated, our primary objective should be to get Ceylan through to the core so that he can purify this great darkness that has blighted this land. Commander Riku, if it is agreeable to you, I believe our best course of action is to use our forces to assume a <b>Gyorin </b>(fish scales) battle formation. ( A more defensive blunted  'arrow head' shape formation traditionally used when forces were outnumbered) We should place two of our healers parallel on the farthest side of the 'arrow head' so that they can recieve protection from the units there and easily provide healing to either side of the formation. Behind the 'arrow head' of our melee units, our ranged units should provide suppressive fire to thin our enemies numbers. "As for me I have no issue staying near the "tip" of the formation. Yukan reaffirming that he had no issues helping to fight on the frontlines and in addition it would let him quickly  see if they needed to readjust.<br>
<br>
Yukan then turned to Ceylan. "Ceylan you should stay toward the center unit so that you can cover those out of range of the other two healers and so that  you have the most protection on all sides, as it is vital that you make it to the core."<br>
<br>
<br>
"Once we are in formation we should begin our advance as quickly as possible collectively and forge a pathway through their ranks to the core. The sooner we can leave this realm the better." He reaffirmed. Assuming that Riku was agreeable to the formation, Yukan would get into position with his Yari at the ready toward the front of the formation, otherwise he'd be on the ready to give follow up orders if need be to adjust the plan if RIku wasn't cooperative.<br>
<br>
<b>Actions:</b><br>
1.  While using <b>To Arms! </b>ability suggest Gyorin formation to fight and advance collectively to fight way to core.<br>
2. Get ready to get into formation toward front if Riku goes along with it.<br>
3.Get ready to move forward to carve path toward core.<br>
<br>
<b>To Arms!</b> - Leadership E, Warfare F, Grade E- Post Cooldown 1<br>
Yukan uses his leadership skills and knowledge on warfare to give warfare related orders.</div>

Ceylan was glad to hear Yukan on board with his plan, as his tail swayed back and forth in a gentle wag. Having an entire army of Tanuki on board would certainly be useful. He just nodded as a sign of thanks. The sights ahead of them, however, were pretty. To make matters worse, the area seemed to distort time and space, making it more difficult to stay in formation. Such a foul place, that actively seemed to work against them, could only be the work of a nightmarish curse. This truly needed to be gotten rid off sooner, rather than later.<br>
<br>
There was one thing that Ceylan could attempt to remedy some of the nightmare's effects. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Please stay calm and focus not on where you want to go or what you want to do, but merely on the process of going and doing it! Focus on your orders with as little conscious thought as possible.”</b></span> He spoke, using [Soothing Aura F] to all those he could reach with it. He wasn't sure how this landscape worked, but it felt like it was somehow tied into their conscious thought, which meant they had to eliminate that as much as possible. He also just hoped to prevent everyone from panicking and instead follow along with Yukan's plans. The only other option was to directly oppose the nightmare with stronger magic, but he'd rather try to go through this without giving up what remained of his cover just yet, still unsure what the reason for having it was meant to be to begin with and therefore still unsure about breaking it further or not. <br>
<br>
That's when he turned to Yukan for further instruction, which he was soon given. He was to stay in the centre. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Very well.”</b></span> He replied, trying to move into position without explicitly desiring to, holding 'the I am moving' in mind rather than the 'I want to go there' parts in an attempt not to fall to the nightmarish curse. From his position, he'd reach out to those in his vicinity to use [Curse Cleanse F] on them whenever it seemed they'd either need regular healing or like they'd need to be snapped out of the curse's effects.<br>
<br>
All that was left is to get through this stomach churning environment, filled with undead that were sending shivers down his spine. Such a desecration of life was always an awful sight, but he didn't have the luxury of looking away from it. <br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Indicus wordlessly joined one of two spear units greeting them and letting them know he would be there to act as quick reaction support. As Indicus and the unit he was tagging along with got into formation he felt the oppressive aura from the portal as he moved with the unit Indicus remembered all the times mental tricks were used on him the silver liquid like he carried now, the small creature that Whiteclaw killed, the flashes of inspiration from the very tree they were invading and Indicus used these experiences to center himself and harden his mind (Intelligence E). This along with the canine priest magic as Indicus' unit passed to take their formations helped to alleviate some of the pressure.<br>
<br>
<b>(OOC)</b><br>
Using past experiences of being under mental manipulation Indicus hardens his mind against the influence of 'nightmare' (Intelligence E) and Indicus briefly comes under Ceylan's (soothing aura F)<br>
Indicus moves with chosen unit (melee spear) and gets into formation following the formation set by Yukan or other commanders</div>

How long had she been here, lost in this never ending hellish mire? It must have been years at this point. Her exhausted legs moved of their own volition across the fleshy ground, barely carrying her forward, but still she walked. Why was she walking? Was she supposed to be going somewhere? Her thoughts were hazy as she trudged on through the waste. Something somewhere in the distance wailed, inciting fear in her heart, but her placid expression remained unchanged. She was past the point of comprehending her own emotions, the ability to feel anything beaten down by the overwhelming pressure this place constantly exuded. As she lifted her foot to take the next step it got caught on a vein like protrusion. Losing her balance, she plummeted to the ground, not even attempting to catch herself as she fell. She lay there, still and uncaring for a moment, before lifting herself up and looking around.<br>
<br>
How long had she been here, lost in this swamp of torment? Moments ago she had been walking through a dense woods, hadn't she? Now she was here. Did something happen? She couldn't remember. What was she supposed to be doing right now? She began to walk, not sure where she was going and with no clear destination in mind. Maybe if she kept walking she could remember how she got here. Maybe, eventually, she would make it out of this landscape. In the distance something shrieked. It was a sound she was familiar with. It was a sound unlike anything she had ever heard. She was calm. She was frightened. She had always been here. She had just arrived. Her eyes stared blankly as she trudged forward through the never ending nightmare.<br>
<br>
<b>“Please stay calm and focus not on where you want to go or what you want to do, but merely on the process of going and doing it!"</b><br>
<br>
A voice pierced through the murk and brought a hint of recognition to her eyes. She wasn't alone. Someone else was here. Her legs began to move faster toward the sound, though it felt like she was moving through sand. But she had to make it to the other. She didn't know why, but something deep inside told her she didn't belong here. That she was an outsider... or more like, she belonged and this place didn't. Ahead of her, she saw a cluster of figures. A large group of wretched monsters spilling forth from a huge dead tree, heading toward a group of people. The source of the voice. She picked her pace up yet again, fighting against the very air that surrounded her. This isn't where she needed to be. She would reach them. She drew her sword off her back and pushed on, pushing toward the group.</div>

<br>
This land was a nightmare. <br>
<br>
But, wasn't that obvious? Call a spade a spade for sute but he'd be damned if this wasn't pretty horrible just in general. A genuine horrible place full of horrible monsters and who knows what else. At least he wasn't being tricked to deal eith all this alone, half thought he was going to get a boot to his back, send him through the hole then watch them somehow shut it. But nope, surrounded by people, he was now admist a group of slowly sepperating people... <br>
<br>
It was like they were setting up as pieces on a gameboard or something...? Well, hopefully he was a good piece and not one to be tossed away without care. <br>
<br>
"...Well.. I expected it to die and thats that, not open up a hole into it's own nightmare dream place or what have you." The swordsman spoke out loud, eyeing the world and ascertaining it's oppressive atmosphere... Breathing... movements... All felt like they came moments after ordered by the body. His heart was beating quickly, but the world around him felt heavy and languid... <br>
<br>
He moved his sword hand... Yes... It still worked. He will compensate for incoming foibles, this would not stop him. <br>
<br>
"Focus on the act, not the finished product of it... Hmm..." his ears twitched, tail lowered and kept close... He took a step forward, then another... Keeping his mind on approach... <br>
<br>
...Eh? <br>
<br>
"...She looks out of place." He spotted a white haired woman looking very much more alive than anything else in here. He decided to approach that one, unless of course she was an enemy.. He would cut her down if so, it was no issue. <br>
<br>
"I hope your alive and here to help cause if not this is gonna get real awkward quick." <br>

			"As Stated, our primary objective should be to get Ceylan through to the core so that he can purify this great darkness that has blighted this land. Commander Riku, if it is agreeable to you, I believe our best course of action is to use our forces to assume a <b>Gyorin </b>(fish scales) battle formation. ( A more defensive blunted 'arrow head' shape formation traditionally used when forces were outnumbered) We should place two of our healers parallel on the farthest side of the 'arrow head' so that they can recieve protection from the units there and easily provide healing to either side of the formation. Behind the 'arrow head' of our melee units, our ranged units should provide suppressive fire to thin our enemies numbers. "As for me I have no issue staying near the "tip" of the formation. Yukan reaffirming that he had no issues helping to fight on the frontlines and in addition it would let him quickly see if they needed to readjust.

Rizo frowned looking at the zombies rushing towards them and shook his head. "Gyorin could work." He tilted his head from side to side, "With the mounted units as the tip, Hoshi could work straight through the zombies." He turned, peering towards the portal, "But maybe their goal isn't us." He bit his lip, raising his yari. Either my calvary roams the perimeter or we sit at the tip. No offense," Rizo looked Yukan up and down, "I've read your training reports. You'd be a liability in the tip, but your leadership and strategy skills are decent." <br>
<br>
He looked to his other riders, "Let's go boys." Rizo spurred his dire boar forward, slicking back his hair with his off hand before lowering his yari like a lance. <br>

He wasn't sure how this landscape worked, but it felt like it was somehow tied into their conscious thought, which meant they had to eliminate that as much as possible. He also just hoped to prevent everyone from panicking and instead follow along with Yukan's plans. The only other option was to directly oppose the nightmare with stronger magic, but he'd rather try to go through this without giving up what remained of his cover just yet, still unsure what the reason for having it was meant to be to begin with and therefore still unsure about breaking it further or not.

Ceylan's words held a soothing simplicity, like a mantra it focused and diffused the minds of all around. Units cohered back as they should, forming up into squads near each other. It worked! Nightmare had their own rules, but there was always a certain internal consistency within dreams and nightmares. Many Tanuki gave a little prayer in Ceylan's name and most continued to chant his mantra silently to themselves. It picked up amongst each other and it turned into a chant, stomping their feet on each syllable. "Focus not on where you want to go." Stomp. Stomp. Stomp. "Focus on your orders with as little conscious thought as possible." Stomp. Stomp. Stomp. <br>

			"Once we are in formation we should begin our advance as quickly as possible collectively and forge a pathway through their ranks to the core. The sooner we can leave this realm the better." He reaffirmed. Assuming that Riku was agreeable to the formation, Yukan would get into position with his Yari at the ready toward the front of the formation, otherwise he'd be on the ready to give follow up orders if need be to adjust the plan if RIku wasn't cooperative.

The Gyorin took form with Yukan's leadership and Riku's boar riders at the tip. Yari units formed on either side with the scout units and the healers and others in the middle. The blunt arrow made its way forward one chanted syllable at a time. Opposed to the coordinated force was almost three times their number in zombies in loose groups. They moved randomly and incoherently but inevitably forward. The zombies picked up speed, stomping through the swampy water. Wet sloppy sounds overlapped and formed a kind of static, picking up with intensity as Yukan's joint strike force approached. <br>

			Indicus wordlessly joined one of two spear units greeting them and letting them know he would be there to act as quick reaction support. As Indicus and the unit he was tagging along with got into formation he felt the oppressive aura from the portal as he moved with the unit Indicus remembered all the times mental tricks were used on him the silver liquid like he carried now, the small creature that Whiteclaw killed, the flashes of inspiration from the very tree they were invading and Indicus used these experiences to center himself and harden his mind (Intelligence E). This along with the canine priest magic as Indicus' unit passed to take their formations helped to alleviate some of the pressure.

Indicus felt less pressure, and those around him did as well. The area around Indicus appeared more solid and coherent. The water wasn't as hostile;  the muck beneath was less clingy. A wane light more silver than iron gleamed far above from within the overhead haze. There was a tug like the gravity pull of low tide that made some of the madness recede from the mind and eased the tension to a small degree. <br>

She ran through the terrible night and gloom, finally with the voice and light of these creatures she found a way out. However, between her and freedom was five zombies who turned as she emerged from the woods and ran at her! Their slathering mouths and broken clawed fingers opening greedily to get any morsel of her that they could! Indeed with their approach the water grew thick like syrup and the muck clung to her boots and legs like desperate children fearful of letting their momma go! <i>[Tangle 1 (1 action, 1hp to free), Accurate 1 (-1 Speed)]</i><br>

Ko broke ranks, leaving the safety of the strike force to try and save a wayward soul. As the group of five zombies were more focused on her and Ko had severed himself from this place and doubled down upon it, for him the terrain wasn't bothersome. The oppression of the atmosphere, the depressing gloom and murky depths were there but they were not. Much like the lucid dreamer does not suffer from the illusion of the dream, Ko was distant from the situation in a way that could not be put into words. However, it didn't make the three zombies who turned and lunged for him instead any less of a threat! The three zombies lunged at him, punching and scratching with the desperation of a cornered animal! <br>
<br>
The main force under Yukan's leadership and with Riku's dire boar riders at the tip, pierce into the on coming horde! The zombies rush and crash into the assembled unit. The mantra and Yukan's leadership holds them together under the initial contact with the enemy. The melee is frenzied and back and forth. Yari and arrows rain out, felling some zombies and damaging others, but still more press on. As the zombies strike the unmovable force, many of them flow AROUND and keep running for the portal! Thus, the army finds itself surrounded on three sides but the overflow of zombies stream onward towards the portal. <br>
<br>
OOC: <br>
1) Ko gets three attacks on him from a criss-cross teamup: Attack 1 @ 6, Attack2 @ 5, Attack3 @ 4. If successful, suffer Continuing F, 1 hp for 1 round. <br>
2) Paru gets two attacks on her: Attack 1 @ 5, Attack 2 @ 4. If successful, suffer Continuing F, 1 hp for 1 round. <br>
3) Everyone else finds themselves facing off against 1 unit of zombies who attack 3 times: +10, +8, +6 with <b>Continuing F</b> [1hp additional damage next round] and <b>Linked F</b> [1hp addition this round if they hit] thus 7 units are going against 7 units (more or less) <br>
4) The remaining 13 units of zombies continue onward towards the portal, which they will reach in 2 rounds.</div>

"Hmm?"<br>
<br>
Ah... strange... Perhaps it was this illusion still. A severed connection between him and... It... Was still enacting in odd ways. His severing his connection with it, and then the strike that rung throughout the beating heart of blacked murk... Perhaps, in a way, he cut down it's ability to reach him even if he was here? <br>
<br>
What would be a good way to describe it? <br>
<br>
He didn't quite know, there was alot of this metaphysical stuff he didn't know of... That word itself is abit new as well. Such words made him feel abit smarter... Wait, more smart? More intelligent yes thats it. <br>
<br>
Speaking of things he didn't know, why was this woman here? Maybe shes a part of this nightmare? Maybe shes evil? Why does she look like somebody who wanted to draw a deerfolk but forgot what deer look like?<br>
<br>
.....<br>
<br>
...Oh he was under attack!<br>

He struck with purpose, following each step in his defense and counter attack after his thoughts, the purposful motioned calculated as per the other canine man said. He felt his words held some meaning, why would another of his kind steer him wrong? Also he looked smart, so, yea... <br>
<br>

<br>
While some beasts could have easily made a big deal of out being told that based on what their training results had shown they were a liability in combat particularly from a Republic of Kuridan stand point, in this case Riku was more experienced than Yukan, and he did say no offense, in addition Yukan was fully aware that as much as he did not want to admit it, Riku's judgement call there was correct, even if it was honorable in principle, Yukan was not skilled enough in combat yet to effectively face off against a group right at the front like that in this type of scenario more than likely. He did not have a ton of training fighting in a group unit after all.<br>
<br>
 Yukan nodded, "Understood." He would join up with Riku in the position which he thought was better suited for Yukan for the time being based on his skillset. Yukan most definitely wanted to change that, the sooner he became more proficient at melee combat, the better.<br>
<br>
The very next thing Yukan noticed was how Ceylan greatly assisted the group get into formation calmly and focus on the task at hand. Yukan remained focused during the initial clash, and knew that this was different than training, if they messed up, people's lives were at stake, and of course ideally  he did not want to lose anyone but if they did he doubly knew for sure that they had to make it worth it, this was a true supernatural threat, hopefully the healers would be able to keep everyone intact until the purification process.<br>
<br>
He noticed Ko had broken ranks and it looked like he was going off to assist someone who was in need of assistance, and as much as Yukan would have liked to go over and assist himself he knew that he needed to focus on getting their main priority done, since the sooner they did that the sooner they could stop these undead threats from being a threat to begin with no doubt.<br>
<br>
<br>
He also took notice that several zombies were running toward the portal, suggesting to him that Riku had been right that perhaps they were not the primary objective, they only had so many options here, and the most reasonable one to him was to push forward harder to carve a pathway.<br>
<br>
Yukan spoke loud and clear once more this time with<b> Leadership F<br>
<br>
"The enemy is attempting to reach the portal, we must complete our primary objective before they breach the portal. Scouts, focus your fire on the clusters closest to the tip of the formation, we need to thin their ranks to break through, healers be vigilant after contact, there is a high chance of injuries being sustained with this many enemies. Those who are in a position to do so focus your attacks on clearing that path to the core, we must not split our firepower to the undead who are running by if they are not actively attacking us. The faster we meet our primary objective the sooner we can stop them." </b>  Yukan proclaimed. While this was not fool proof reasoning, Yukan had learned from his training what a split front could mean, he also  reckoned that if they killed the tree, the undead would also fall.<br>
<br>
 If Yukan was close enough to be hit he'd first try to counter strike the nearest undead  with his Yari, before blocking if necessary, otherwise he would hunker down and focus on keeping group cohesion and move forward when possible with the rest of the group.<br>
<br>
<b>Actions: </b><br>
1. Leadership F speech for group to focus on breaking through undead lines with the reasoning the faster they purify the tree with Ceylan the faster they win the battle.<br>
2. If Yukan is within range of undead, basic attack closest  undead to him with Yari.<br>
3.  If Yukan is within range of undead, attempt to block attempted strikes on him with Yari.</div>

Hearing his words become a mantra was odd, but whatever worked worked. He couldn't deny the results. That said, he was completely out of his water with battle-formations and joining combat like this. He had to be careful to figure out what in the world was expected of him, yet not fall to the nightmare's trap of overthinking what he wanted and achieving the opposite. If anything, he needed his own words the most, in that regard. <br>
<br>
Like a fish out of the water, when the unit got into the fray of things, he had no clue what to do. He couldn't fight for the life of him, after all. Thankfully, this time around, Yukan's words backed him up, rather than having his own words back up others. All he had to do was to use Curse Cleanse/healing on those that got injured in his part of the unit. That much he could do. Learning from his own words, he focused not on the wanting to heal them, but on the mere aspect of doing so. See someone get hit by a zombie? Head over, lay on hands to heal them. Done. Move to the next. Hoping to get into that pattern of things, Ceylan hoped to keep up with this process, regardless of how out-of-the-water he felt.<br>

During the attack Indicus was able to leverage his keen (perception F) and (danger sense F) to warn the group of any unnoticed attacks. The spearmen managed to only just fend off the first attack by bunching together and throwing the zombies back. <br>
<br>
With the Zombies on the backfoot and unable to immediately respond the spearmen rallied and started attacking the zombies while Indicus used the distraction to slip around behind the zombies (Sneak F, Undetected sound F) and lash at them from behind before rejoining the group and moving closer to the other units so they could assist each other better<br>

She swung her sword at the head of one as it got close, aiming for it's open mouth, and spun in place to try to dodge the second, the thick terrain no longer hindering her movements.<br>

Their faces and bodies were broken and emaciated almost like a mummy more than a zombie. The bodies were all intact. Their cause of death was non-obvious other than being trapped within the tree. A few of them were too mangled to do much but hobble along, trailing further behind the main mob.<br>
<br>
 <b>Riku's Boar Calvary </b>met the onslaught as the tip of the spear. Although they were supposed to be blunt and defense, Riku urged his riders on. The charged out, riding through two units of zombies before returning. The zombies took some damage as the spears, tusks, and hoofs ripped into their rotting equipment. Still the zombies rushed onward. However the further they got from the tree the slower they became. Thus when Riku finished his charge, he had enough time to get back into position and tangle with the zombies. They fought back and forth, the cavaliers taking hits but lashing out with their spears. Over and over they clashed back and forth, Riku's riders cutting and stabbing the zombies until the first unit fell to the ground.<br>
<br>
However, Riku had over committed the first unit of zombies, opening themselves up. Seeing an opportunity to stall the second unit of zombies from counter attacking, Long Feather takes his scouts into a jump forty feet into the air, unleashing a volley of arrows. The zombies rear back under the volley, swatting and hitting the arrows flying at them. It opened up some opportunities for Riku's cavalries to position themselves. The second unit rushed the Boar Calvary, tearing into them, ripping bits of flesh from the tanuki and boars, shoveling it into their mouths. Riku's healer waves her wand, glittering golden light descends upon them, coating them like a flurry of snow. The wounds mostly heal. They take more wounds as the fighting continues to go back and forth. However, Riku's healer continued to send the golden light to counter the increasing wounds Riku was taking.<br>
<br>
On his left flank, <b>Aurichal </b>joined the unit of spears, lending his aid as motes of light descended and the unit gained more vitality. Reinforced, Aurichal roared out in pure joy, "Onward into the breach. Charge and killed and slaughter those dark souls who would come upon us on our noble quest. Forth! Ever forth!" And the unit's spears shot out, catching the third zombie unit before they could close. Holy light shone from the spear tips for a moment, Aurichal lifting his sword high, hacking away at the distracted zombies, cleaving off arms and legs like he was pruning a bush. After the overwhelming first wave of attacks, it only took several more before all the zombies had been put down. So fast did they work through the zombies that they finished killing them before even Riku had! However, two units had slipped by them and threatened to bear down on the left flank archers.<br>
<br>
"To me and glory!" Aurichal roared, running and leaping towards the archers, creating enough distraction so that the archers could swap positions.<br>
<br>
With the pressure taken off, the left unit of archers unleashed a volley into the fifth unit of zombies. The arrows rained death upon the distracted zombies, driving into faces and bursting skulls. Two zombies dropped to the ground, thrashing about headless. Others were peppered with arrows, slowing them down even further. Weakened and slowing down, more volleys of arrows rained down until the last zombie splashed into the turgid waters, white cilia emerging to pull them down even further until the corpses were lost in the muck.<br>
<br>
That still left one more unit pressing on Aurichal's spear unit. This time real roots, earthy and brown emerged from the swampy waters, rising up and binding the zombies. The zombies were forced to redouble their efforts, going berserk as they sought to free themselves from the roots.<br>
<br>
"Guess they don't like going back into trees!" Gyoubu laughed, raising her wand from having cast an entangling spell upon that unit.<br>
<br>
As those zombies freed themselves and set upon Aurichal's unit, he used his sword and celestial endurance to hold on and rally his men. Over and over the zombies came, ripping and tearing into flesh, but Gyoubu cast her spring breeze and blooming flower based healing spells, restoring the cuts and scratches.<br>
<br>
On the right flank, <b>Indicus </b>joined the spear unit adding his flame breath to supplement the spear's long reach. Indicus's flame breath helped to distract and burn the zombies, whose bodies didn't catch on fire but the skin smoldered in the damp air. Distracted, the spear unit caught the advancing zombies and pierced their bodies over and over again.<br>
<br>
"Swap!" Whiteclaw shouted, "Reposition Indicus." Calling out, Whiteclaw's unit leaped once more high into the air moving towards Indicus's spear units. As they reached the top of their arc, they lose a volley down on Indicus's zombie. The arrows pierced the zombie's bodies, going through eyes and mouths to stab at their brains. Under the onslaught, the zombies joined so many others, pulled down into the muck of the swamp.<br>
<br>
Whiteclaw's unit made a splash upon landing where Indicus' spear unit had been. Repositioned, the scouts sent two more volleys, weakening the zombies surrounding Indicus' new position. So weakened, the spear unit and Indicus were able to finish the job, taking down another unit of zombies.<br>
<br>
With Yukan's instructions and maneuvering, the expeditionary force remained in their formation, even as they shifted about. Ceylan's soothing aura settled about the units, helping to calm their minds and refocus their effort for what else came their way.<br>
<br>
<hr><br>
Closer to the tree, Ko and Paru fought their own personal battle.<br>

			Gripping her sword she swung in a low arc at the muck sending it flying in different directions and freeing up her ability to move. A group of the monsters pouring out of the tree suddenly broke off and begin to run at her and the dog. The group split as it approached, but she still had two coming her way. She swung her sword at the head of one as it got close, aiming for it's open mouth, and spun in place to try to dodge the second, the thick terrain no longer hindering her movements.

Paru met the zombies coming towards her, sword first ripping through the roots and cilia clinging to her feet from beneath the muck. Freed, she brought her sword up just in time to catch the first zombie rushing her. She tried to slash into the exposed mouth, but the zombie caught the blade on its forearm, following up with a long rake of its claws, tearing clothing and flesh. She felt pain worm through her body as it followed up with more claws. She back peddled, dodging the second zombie before it could take full advantage of her. The first zombie grew distracted, licking at the bits of Paru on its claws. Then it looked up at her with its dead white eyes and its slack jaw drooled. [Paru -1HP, continues for -1hp in round 2]<br>

Ko arrived before the remaining three zombies could surround and devour Paru. They were enraged at the intrusion, turning to leap upon him. Defiant Edge deflected their attacks back in a ringing fury they burst the zombies ear drums. Black sludge leaked from their ruined ears. Already weakened, Ko took advantage of their surprise slicing a two of their heads off like he was cutting two sheets of paper. As the bodies crumpled to the ground, the last zombie leapt up. Without pause, Ko transitioned into Blooming Lily. The petals of his blade formed contrails of steel, lashing out and cutting not only the zombie upon him but one of the zombies that had attacked Paru. As his severed body parts, they landed with loud splashes like pales of chum being tossed out to the ocean. The body parts all sunk or were drawn down into the muck, it was hard to see exactly what was happening.<br>

	</div>Kai Asakura arrival had been very unusual. Like waking up into a nightmare, he'd found himself not in the bright world of monsters and heroes, but this murky, damp, lost and forbidden swamp. For days and maybe months he'd wandered through the muck and swarmed of mosquitos. He learned quickly never to stop, and so he hadn't had much sleep. That was until he found the Fair Folk Caraphract.<br>
<br>
They were elegant in their every move.  The pair of soldiers encase their lithe bodies in armor of obsidian and jade with intricate patterns of embossed and etched mithril adorn their breast plates, shields, helms and high-neck collars. Their cloaks moved, flowing in an unseen breeze, woven of gossamer fabrics saturated with the deepest color of red like fresh blood. They were Fair Folk who had dreamed themselves to be warriors of inhuman skill. Their blades appeared to be made of glass light as feathers, yet able to sever limbs and cut armor as though they were the heaviest axe.<br>
<br>
At first they had hunted him for sport; however, in time they had grown tired of the game and perhaps moved on to a different narrative. However, it soon became <div class="bbImageWrapper bbImageAligned--right js-lbImage" title="652px-Armor_10_concept_art.jpg" data-src="/proxy.php?image=http%3A%2F%2Fcdn.obsidianportal.com%2Fassets%2F239065%2F652px-Armor_10_concept_art.jpg&amp;hash=f4c589e9440a88c87102609c09d38d41" data-lb-sidebar-href="" data-lb-caption-extra-html="" data-single-image="1">

	</div>apparent that they had found the dregs of a quest. At first even they couldn't give voice to it, but each day they grew in eagerness. They were vassals of the Prince of Blades, who had come to embody Nishkriya, The Sword and Glory. The Prince's grace had been forged to manifest as Modaki the god-killer, a sword of terrible killing potential. As loyal retains, they had partial in the fruit of their lords knowledge. As days turned into weeks, it became apparent that Kai had a role to play. They taught him hints of their inhuman art and of sword craft their understanding was deep and vast, which made the prospect of their lord the Prince of Blades all the more terrifying.<br>
<br>
In this way after months, Kai found himself almost a native of the terrible nightmare, watching more often than night as the two Caraphract slaughtered all sorts of unformed dreams and terrible leftovers from nightmare. Sleep was impossible in this land and so a fugue state like insomnia settled in. They were always on the move. They had no word for rest or relaxation. These two were driven ever by the prospect of glory and knowledge of the sword.<br>
<br>
And then after what could have have been lifetimes or maybe it was just one night as time had no meaning in this place, the pair lead Kai through one last tangle of twisted, gnarled tree and hungry plants to an opening. A lone tree, shattered with zombies spilling out, stood alone before the onslaught of a single blade. The nightmare itself was severed and a wound opened in. From it poured a host of beast-kin the types of demihumans one would see in anime or manga. The Tanuki were thankfully safe for work, and the doggos were adorable and fierce in all the right ways.<br>
<br>
The pair of Caraphract had eyes only for the original swordsman, even as a host of tanuki and others formed a small army fighting through the portal and the swamp and eventually taking up against the zombies pouring out the tree.<br>
<br>
"Him," the large male Caraphract said, gesturing with a plate mail finger. "You'll need a blade." Looking around, he spied the pale sphere of the moon casting a pitiful light through the grey metallic clouds. Reaching up, somehow, the male Caraphract snatched the sphere! Which became a pale white circle that he placed upon Kai's left palm. "We have tasted your hunger for the sword. This is a small shaping of your sword grace, grotesque really, but we would see how it fairs against the Inheritor. Go challenge him to a duel so we might see what our story holds."<br>
<br>
Kai's left palm burned were the pale white circle now rested like a living tattoo.<br>
<br>
[Gained: Moon Blade F, 1st Gen; Drawn from the nearly forgotten memory of the moon, a Fair Folk Caraphract forged gossamer and grace into an embodiment of the idea of a sword representing Mohana, thief of minds. Dreams rarely come true how we might hope. <i>(Usable only during Falling to Rise adventures or you pay points</i>).]<br>

<br>
He felt like a fish out of water with all that was going on. He'd seen some skirmishes, but this was on a whole new level. If he hadn't asked to help folk get him to that tree, he wasn't sure if he'd be inclined to keeping standing in the fray of things like he was doing currently. Even then, he barely kept going with how terrifying and gruesome those zombies were. <br>
<br>
He watched as the boar cavalry ahead of him clashed with zombies. He tried to follow along with the patterns of battle, if anything, just to see where he'd be needed. Was Riku going too far out? No, because Long Feather joined in, right? He watched them rain down arrows whilst Riku's healer backed them up. It looked like that part of the battle was going well, or at least not going bad? He assumed as much, having no better idea on how to estimate the tides of war.<br>
<br>
He watched Aurichal join a spear unit and intercept more zombies. Honestly, Ceylan was meant to be the summoner and Aurichal the summoned, yet hearing him speak, Ceylan himself felt like the latter displayed more leadership and encouragement than he ever could. Well, perhaps that was wrong, perhaps he just needed to try? He knew his words held power... Perhaps he should learn from his summoned ally. At the very least, he felt encouraged by the latter's words, an encouragement he wished to spread, share and amplify.<br>
<br>
He was impressed by Gyoubu's magic. This, Ceylan realised, was the difference between him and most other 'priests' from the Republic. Ceylan was a [Wandering Saint], but not a battle-hardened healer. He knew little else to help out here, his talents only being of use when the harm had already been done. He should definitely look into ways to aid people more, before such a thing could happen... but later, as right now, all he could do was what he'd learned thus far. Surely, some of it might be of use. He just needed to spot a 'when and where' he was needed...<br>
<br>
Inducus joining another spear unit and later swapping out with Whiteclaw seemed to be a battle going well as well. With Yukan's instructions added on top, it seemed like the entire battle was going well enough, at least from what he could feel. <br>
<br>
There was only one thing he noticed, which might be going wrong in the distance. His fellow canine had found someone, who seemed to have been injured. Furthermore, he realised how the formations they were fighting in were aiding them a lot in keeping these Zombies at bay. Those two in the distance didn't have such formation... on the other side, Ko being right here might help them keep formation, as Ko seemed to be able to move through this nightmare surprisingly well. He'd made up his mind. He needed those two <i>here</i> instead of over there.<br>
<br>
There was only one problem. If he'd attempt to summon them over, he'd need to send back Aurichal, who was doing a lot of heavy lifting in the other group. Having him vanish all of a sudden might cause too much of a disturbance. Yet if he only tried summoning them with a weak spell, it'd likely not work... He sighed. Fine, this was it, then. Not like much of his 'cover' was left to begin with. Besides, was this even within the original scope of reasons for which he needed to keep a cover? Possibly, but likely not, right? He might just be trying to talk himself into it with no solid leads, but in the end, he'd convinced himself. He used [Summon Targets D] on Ko and Paru, in order to summon them to the rest of the group.<br>
<br>
He'd immediately use [Healing Prayer F] and [Curse Cleanse F] on Paru afterwards, <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b> “Are you alright, ma'am?”</b></span> He'd ask, hoping that he'd made the right call to try summoning them over. He hadn't really tried summoning people from the same realm before, let alone people in sight... but there was a first time for everything, right? Hopefully it'd been the right call.<br>
<br>
With some luck, Yukan could take care of Ko, assigning him to a group or something. That part wasn't exactly Ceylan's talent or area of expertise. He just hoped his fellow canine wouldn't be mad at him for pretty much being fetched by a spell. On the topic of that... <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b> “Sorry if I inconvenienced you.”</b></span> Ceylan quickly told Ko. <br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Kai, had spent the last few whatever time has passed fucking around with his less than pleasant company. He honestly kind of preferred their original interactions, cause then he knew that his spooky knight friends would also be suffering trying to catch him, because God Almighty decided to give him superpowers based off the world’s best tag player.<br>
<br>
“Oh hey, ya got a cheeseball.” Kai responded with sarcasm towards the fae, he never shown them any sort of fear and when they decided to give him the magic moon tattoo, he didn’t even flinch much less show any signs of pain. He just opened and closed his hand at what they did, inspecting the new mark on his hands.<br>
<br>
‘Hunger for the sword huh?’ Kai thought back to it, it has been a while since he picked up a real blade, after he and his old man had their falling out, he didn’t really practice on a regular basis and the Boss was more of a pacifist at least it came to Yakuza bosses. Honestly, while Kai was considered a prodigy in his youth, currently he was rather rusty to admit.<br>
<br>
“Grotesque? Hmph, a blade’s a blade, if it cuts, it cuts. Nothing more to it than that.” Kai gave his blunt option on swords, in direct contrast to the cryptic words of the fae.<br>
<br>
“Right, right. But this is being done my way not yers.” Kai looked at his so called opponent, while he wasn’t really a fan of these two, this was an opportunity to get out of here. If he was going to fight a Tanuki to do it, eh why not. Though while it would have been smarter to just wait and let the zombies soften him up, but  Kai wasn’t going to do that. He didn’t really have a vendetta against these people and quite frankly, he didn’t like his current company, so an underhanded method like that against people who did him no wrong or without any benefit for himself was against his own personal values. Besides the two were clearly more interested in watching a duel and not a straight up assassination.<br>
<br>
“Well then, seeya.” Kai said as he just decided to leave by leaping through the opening.<br>
<br>
Kai popped out of the portal, for the moment he could see that the team was doing pretty well and that they had it all under control, so he really didn’t need to do much when it came to this, so rather than making a hasty move Kai activated his new trick, [Precognition] - F and saw into the future. The former Yakuza using the future sight positioned himself accordingly to the best position for the situation to help defend the Portal for the next attacks, before preparing his blade to counter attack and Zombies that came close, choosing to go with the training he remembered, he would prepare to cut the head off any zombies.<br>
<br>
Action 1: [Precognition F]<br>
Action 2: Repositioned to join the defense<br>

Yukan followed the developments of the battle carefully. At the moment he was relatively safe with the units between him and the undead horde it seemed so far due to Riku's insistence that he sat back in the formation. The healers also seemed to be doing well where they were placed. It was good to see the boar  calvary cut through the undead at first, as well as the Summon Ceylan brought forth continue to cut through the impure hostiles, but it didn't take long for Yukan to see thanks to his knowledge on warfare that there was a potential issue of overextending, as he watched the battle go on, but then Long Feather, made a tactical decision to help make up for that move's downside.<br>
It was very good to see Riku's healer cover a great deal of the blows that were being taken, Yukan could leave Riku with the credit he seemed to desire if it meant they could stop what had been attacking people and purge it from the land. It sounded like even people like him could be reasoned with, which left Yukan feeling a bit optimistic.  This was because deep down Yukan knew that he had many greater goals in mind for the future. This was far more important than the hunt was to him.  Even if he was unsuccessful in that as hard as he was going to try when this was said and done, being successful in this would quite literally save lives in the future.<br>
<br>
He was also pleased to see Gyoubu assist in the way she did. Of course Ceylan's difference hadn't been lost on Yukan, he seemed almost too kind to have come from Kuridan given the state that it was in. Kuridan was a relatively poorer country compared to their neighbors in many places, life was hard where the strong thrived, yet there was Ceylan, not showing signs to him of battle hardship. Perhaps it was a good thing to have people like him who were left, Ceylan left an impression from what he could tell ata. surface level  where he was likely  the sort who could understand the injustice in the world, even if he thought that the military had started to soften.<br>
<br>
Of course Yukan  once again had noticed the strays in the distance but there wasn't much he could do about that without risking the integrity  of their formation. This problem was quickly solved however presuming that Ceylan's summoning targeting ability worked on them, Yukan had a look of surprise on his face briefly.<br>
<br>
<br>
"You continue to bring surprises Ceylan Thank you." Yukan then looked to Ko. "Matasu, and whoever you are, are you okay?" He'd ask quickly to both the familar and the stranger but thankfully it looked like Ceylan. was treating them very swiftly after.<br>
<br>
<br>
"What I witnessed was very commendable  " He said once more to Ko.<br>
<br>
<br>
" But unfortunately now is not the time to linger on pleasantries, If you feel well enough to continue, we could use your expertise to continue to take the pressure off and assist in clearing  a path for Ceylan."<br>
<br>
Yukan did not order him since once again, Ko was not someone who was formally under him, but he did make it known that was how he could further assist if he desired.<br>
<br>
Yukan then looked to Ceylan,<br>
<br>
"How close do you need to be to properly fulfill this cleansing process? If it isn't too much farther as the hostile's numbers dwindle enough we could always send you forward with some to finish this evil off sooner It seems like their primary objective is the portal anyway."<br>
<br>
<br>
He inquired  and then stated very much business like, managing to keep a fairly level head despite all the fighting ongoing around them, of course it helped that they were currently winning the combat.<br>
<br>
Yukan was a bit surprised by the new comer who seemed to pop up, he wasn't really sure what to make of them but as long as they didn't get in their way, they had to complete the objective at hand, so unless they started actively hindering them in battle  they were a secondary concern.<br>
<br>
Regardless of how those around him responded ,Yukan them piped up with the ability <b>Follow the Leader </b>to those who were in range to hear him in the general group.<br>
<br>
<b>"Maintain formation, Sustain this aggression! rotate where necessary, we'll all get through this together! The enemy is trying to get to the portal, with this knowledge press onward, do not allow any unnecessary evil to leave this tree! " </b><br>
<br>
<br>
Actions:<br>
1. Use ability:<b>Follow the Leader</b><br>
Follow the Leader - Leadership F, Warfare F, Republic of Kuridan Etiquette F Grade F Post Cooldown 0<br>
Yukan uses his leadership skills and Knowledge on warfare to make informed dialogue.<br>
<br>
2. Move with rest of formation if any ground was gained/was applicable.</div>

Fuck... Things weren't going well so far. She touched her hand to the spot the zombie had clawed and it came back bloody. Not good. She lifted her sword as best she could. If she was going to die it would be with sword in hand, trying to return to her sister. The air around her erupted with motion as the man mutt eviscerated one of the zombies next to her. Maybe she could make it out of this after all. Or at the very least, take the last foe with her to hell. But it seemed she was already there. Suddenly, the world seemed to fold in on itself and she found herself surrounded by beastfolk. Another dog, this one more refined looking than the first, seemed to be in prayer next to her. As he finished, the pain in her torso subsided and she felt revitalized. She nodded her head to him as he spoke. "I am fine. Thank you, hijiri." She turned to the man mutt in red and nodded to him as well. "Coming after me was reckless of you. I did not ask for your assistance. But... thank you. You are a skilled swords man. I shall lend my blade as best I can."<br>

"Return to death!" He was a man of action, and while foes still stood, he must answer their pitiful flailing with his blade. He lunged once more forwards, arms abit still weary from earlier exertion, he opted for a smaller strike, aiming to catch the remaining undead. <br>
<br>
Sword of Descernment, Weapon Mastery F, Continueing (Bleed) F, Blight F (Razor sharp), Contact F, Penetrating F, Accurate F, a practiced strike of the blade, from whence the rest come. Grade F, Action 1<br>
<br>
Though he may or may not have filled it, he was... suddenly yoinked back. <br>
<br>
In a blink, he was admist...! <br>
<br>
His... allies? <br>
<br>
...Okay, so, the instant urge to cut around him in a fury was a bad idea, good. <br>
<br>
The others spoke to him, and he wasn't certain what to say to them. It was abit embaressing in truth... Commend him? Sure... Okay... Thanks!? He hadn't really been thanked much... Usually people just yell at him. He didn't really see her befote, he just heard somebody in trouble and went to help again... Without much thinking really... <br>
<br>
"...<span style="font-size: 9px">Your welcome</span>..." he spoke softly, facing away from the others, looking towards the incoming enemies. <br>
<br>

The zombie group before them was heavily weakened with one of the five dead while his own group made it out with minor injuries though the necrotic energy in the zombies was running rampant in the cuts their foe did make. Once more bolstered by Yukan's words the group aggressively attacked the zombies with Indicus using his {Fire breath} once more. They had to kill their current foe before the rest of the zombies got too close. Though after this attack they would make an attempt to help out an nearby group with their own zombie problem. <br>

Riku roared over the fray of battle, waving his spear in acknowledgement before sweeping forward, but they didn't have the room to charge this time. Focusing instead on taking on the brunt of the first two units on the northern front of the group. With the pressure taken off the left flank, the archers were able to send several volleys at the zombies Riku had just swept through, compounding with their arrows the damage he had done. However, another unit of zombie came in from the right and threatened to overwhelm Riku, even as Indicus' spear unit pushed into the zombies coming from the far right. With the lines set, there wasn't much free attacks available so much as holding the line with their spears. Indicus' fire breath helped at crucial moments, catching a zombie on fire or distracting them. In the flow of battle, even heroes sometimes struggle to make a huge impact.<br>
<br>
On the left flank, "Now is the moment of our ascension, fight and fight, ye Tanuki! Rise up!" Aurichal roared, running and leaping once more towards the last zombie unit on the left flank. The Yari charged pushing out of Yukan's formation like the flexing of a scale. Spears caught rotting flesh and broken bone, holding them while the left flank archers turned and fired a volley into the zombies dropping a few with arrows to the head and back. As the zombie unit began to give way, Aurichal's unit pressed their advantage. Aurichal's holy attacks burnt the remains of the zombies into smoldering bits that the swamp reclaimed beneath its dark muck. Scoring the first victory in the scrum; however, also meant the rest of the force could turn their full attention against the four units of zombies on their northern front.<br>
<br>
Ko and Paru appeared, summoned by Ceylan, patched up and allowed to march and join up with Riku's group. Although mixing melee with calvary was tricky, both Ko and Paru were fast and able to help take the pressure off. Without large abilities at play, they weren't able to have a huge impact but their presence made it possible to leap and lung forward with sword to disentangle a zombie that threatened to pull a rider off their boar. A few times Ko's sword launched out and took an arm or half a face off.<br>
<br>
With a reprieve, Gyoubu raised her arms high and shouted, "Anchor spread beneath, holds the secret origin, of the withered tree!" Like a damn had been broken, her springtime essence poured like a geyser from her chest as she swayed and belted out her haiku. The essence disappeared into the water and massive roots emerged! Not one unit but both of the middle units found themselves entangled in white cilia like webbing it crawled and pulled at the zombies. The zombies seemed to lose several inches in height as they sunk into the muck beneath the turgid waters of the swamp. They staggered and their momentum was wasted. It was a great opening for Whiteclaw whose unit rose up and fired several volleys at them.<br>
<br>
With Ko and Paru's help, Riku tossed Paru on his boar's back and another ride picked up Ko. The calvary charged towards the left most zombie unit and trampled them.<br>
<br>
Indicus and his unit pressed on, whittling away with spear and flames. A few heals landed about the various units abating the damage zombie claws and maws had. Minutes stretched by as the army continued to press their advantage. Gyoubu held the two middle units fast, her arms raised high and spearmint green essence oozing from every pour, falling from her like a water fountain until the water around the every cleared and purified. Of course this just revealed the horror of what lay beneath the dark waters. There were no rocks, just the partially digested bodies of thousands, held down by the white cilia that had been worming and tangling anything that lingered too long.<br>
<br>
With the push, Ceylan's healing magics washed over again, healing those and as HIS words carried divine, celestial essence, the ears of the zombies burned and sizzled further distracting the remaining zombies near Yukan's forces. It was enough to turn the tide and after a battle stretching many minutes the last zombie nearby fell beneath the muck and white cilia.<br>
<br>
"I..." Gyoubu began muttering, "I...I...ca...nnn....ttt..." Bright green essence leaked from eyes like tears and now that all the zombies had been brought beneath the waters the hunger roots of the Corpse Tree sought for more! Everyone found themselves tangled as the white cilia tried to crawl up their legs.<br>
<br>
And just like that things went from triumphant to shit show. And it only got worse!<br>
<br>
The portal home clouded over! The color drained from it like watercolors that had a glass of water poured on it. As the colors literally rain down the scene of the rolling green hills and rocky craigs, the copse of trees in the distance and the rice paddies beyond muddied. The colors blurred and mixed. Darker, starker colors formed of gleaming silvers, moody purples, and angry reds. This new tricolored picture was vicious and cruel and certainly not a depiction of home!<br>
<br>
The zombies were the first to react. Indeed, much of the combat with those that had attacked Yukan's group was due to the split attention of the zombies. They wanted tasty human flesh but they also just wanted to get the portal. Now however, those zombies that had come so close to escaping had that taken away from them! They seemed to react immediate, perhaps even more terrified of what the portal had become than the tree itself! The zombies started to flee back towards Yukan's army! Nine units of zombies turned and rushed towards the comfort of warm bodies and beating hearts!<br>

			Kai popped out of the portal, for the moment he could see that the team was doing pretty well and that they had it all under control, so he really didn’t need to do much when it came to this, so rather than making a hasty move Kai activated his new trick, [Precognition] - F and saw into the future. The former Yakuza using the future sight positioned himself accordingly to the best position for the situation to help defend the Portal for the next attacks, before preparing his blade to counter attack and Zombies that came close, choosing to go with the training he remembered, he would prepare to cut the head off any zombies.

Kai had no problem with zombies rushing him. Indeed! The zombies were running AWAY from him towards the army of beastkin. A moment later, the two cataphract emerged.<br>
<br>
"Can you believe, he called a blade a blade?" The male one said from behind his vicious looking full face helmet. Somehow his voice still came out in a deep and resonate bass.<br>
<br>
"I can, having watched his pitiful dreams these past years. Truly, we have found a rabbit to bait a young lion, but a skinny sickly one, me thinks." The female cataphract responded with a sigh. Her voice also kept its lyrical, musical perfection despite the armor caked about her head and body. She moved with grace in a way that shouldn't be possible with such heavy looking armor.<br>
<br>
"Go Kai, and learn if a blade is a blade." The male laughed, then paused, looking down at the water splashing all about. "Oh I hate these little places." He reached towards the back of Kai's head, pulling forth a dream of gossamer silver and blood red. To this the male added his deep purple and blood reds of his own. Then he shaped the terrain about them, causing a beautiful, fantasy gate house to rise up around them. A few tall, dark oak trees drawn from an ancient forest ringed the old, forgotten looking gate as if drawn from the pages of a fantasy book. A few other trees ringed the area and faded cobble stones formed a path from the edge of the archway framing the portal towards where Yukan's army was.<br>

"...Eh? What!? WHOAAA!" The canid man began to struggle hard against the binds the tried to take him, of all the things he experience today being dragged under by hell roots was not one that he desired! <br>
<br>
"Gaaaah your lucky your cute tanuki or i'd let you have it!!" He shouted out above all else, his eyes narrowed once more, his ear twitched... Voices...? Yes... The portal? Wait... Gods the way home... <br>
<br>
Wait people were here? Some sort of armored folk!? <br>
<br>
And... <br>
<br>
"By the spirits were atop a mass fucking grave!" To stand upon a mountain of the dead, to think... It would happen so soon?! He was no manslayer yet, but to stand atop the work of another was immoral! Not to mention disgusting! Seriously who the damn hell thought it would be a good idea to use a tangling roots spell when they were litterally in a hellscape within a blood evil pus tree? <br>
<br>
When he puts it that way it really seems like somebody missed a few events here. Was she ordered? Did she do this on her own!? <br>
<br>
Wait a minute why was he fussing all he had to do was counter it! <br>
<br>
Sword raised once more he eyed the moving people around him, taking a deep breath, and went for it... If they didn't twitch or make any sudden movements they would be fine... The worst he's managed in training is ruining his master's pony tail... <br>
<br>
He was quite angry with him that day... <br>

After such, he moved into the midst of another group, performing the same series of strikes again, his hands grew weary, but it would free them. <br>

<br>
And... Hopefully... He wouldn't give anyone a hair cut... <br>
<br>
...At most a shave. <br>

He wasn't sure what to reply to Yukan, so he decided to err on the side of caution. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“The closer the better.”</b></span> He wasn't sure what he was dealing with, after all. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“That could work.”</b></span> He replied to Yukan's suggestion, although sounding hesitant. He wasn't a fighter, so if there were more enemies lying in wait near that tree, he'd be in a tough spot if he was alone or in a small group.<br>
<br>
He was glad to be able to bring over Ko and Paru, also being able to treat the latter. However, he was a bit confused. What in the world was a hijiri? Had he spent so much time outside his home country that he'd forgotten his own country's insults? Possibly. He'd been travelling through Ryke for a long time, after all. Either way, her gratitude made it likelier it wasn't one, but what else it was, he wasn't sure of. Ko ran off before Ceylan could good and well talk to him. These two were strange for sure.<br>
<br>
The battle went well, far more so than Ceylan had even expected. Eventually, the zombies were all discarded around them. He was about to head towards the tree again, when the next set of issues arose. Those started with Gyoubu going weird? He had no clue what was going on, but it looked bad. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Hold on, I'll be right with you!”</b></span> He called out, wanting to head over to her, only to be tangled before he could reach her. <br>
<br>
He <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ii2VRUWWzI&amp;ab_channel=SKYSOUNDEFFECT" target="_blank" class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D8ii2VRUWWzI%26ab_channel%3DSKYSOUNDEFFECT&amp;hash=19585a1e872ecf5c07ede6c2b1d21b19" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">instinctively let out yelp</a> when he suddenly saw Ko getting ready to slash them all in half. He braced for being cut... yet (hopefully) wasn't? That was a pretty big relief. With the vines (hopefully) being cut instead, he quickly headed for Gyoubu (action 1; move) where he was quick to lay his hands on her and offer a [Action 2: Healing Prayer F] to see if it could get her to snap out of her spell-trance.<br>
<br>
Hopefully succeeding, he'd know what to do next. Namely what Yukan said. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Aurichal, let's go bring that tree down!”</b></span> He'd call out to the summoned one, as he started heading to the tree himself (action 3; move). Yukan would likely need his forced focussed on the zombies, but with the tree getting more aggressive, Ceylan felt it best not to waste more time.  With Aurichal aiding him, he could surely get there, right? <br>
<br>
Still, having to wade through what was effectively as mass grave was making his heart beat in his chest. He definitely wasn't made for nightmares like this. Then again... don't think on what you want. Just focus on doing it. He tried keeping himself calm, hoping not to let the panic or nightmare get to him as he headed for the source of it all.<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">“Ya two are truly a bunch of failures. Can’t think beyond a blade can ya? Blade’s a blade, for people who speak in so cryptic messages, ya really can’t understand when people shoot them back at ya, can ya?” Kai mocked both them as he ran forwards. This is why he held no respect for either of them, for the confusing wisemen they made themselves to be, they didn’t have much practical wisdom.<br>
<br>
Kai drew the sword, which manifests as a simple white katana with no real distinguishing characteristics except the guard being in the shape of interlocking crescent moons. Kai didn’t need a weapon that had aesthetics and nothing else, just one that works. It was a blade.<br>
<br>
Kai dashed forwards with his [ Fast F ] allowing him to outpace the zombies while using to avoid the hordes using [ Sixth Sense - Danger Sense F ] to keep track of the zombies and find a path where he wouldn’t be attacked. His abilities were a blade.<br>
<br>
Action 1<br>
<br>
Kai activated [ Precognition F] used [ Leap F ] to slash at heavy tree branches as he ran using the information from the future to drop them on a path that a horde of zombies would take to slow some of them down. The branches were a blade.<br>
<br>
Action 2.<br>
<br>
Kai made his way towards the group and took position to support the others around. “Here to help ya guys, save the questions for later.” The people were blades of their own.<br>
<br>
Action 3.<br>
<br>
‘The world is a blade.’ Kai remembered the words of his boss. ‘Sometimes it’s a blade of legends, sometimes it’s dull and rusty, but both can still cut a path up the mountain. The only difference between those who can make the climb with a dull and rusty and those who can’t…’<br>
<br>
Kai understood that the Moon Blade was made from his own desires and that it wasn’t a legendary weapon that could cut down the mountain. It was nothing more than a simple sword of below average quality. After all, he had already lost the person he wanted to protect. He was basically a ronin, no master to serve, nor a grander purpose. It was no surprise that the blade wasn’t very strong, but that didn’t matter.<br>
<br>
‘The difference between them are those who do nothing and complain about the blade given to them and those who choose to wield that blade to refine it into a blade that walks the path of heaven.’<br>
<br>
Kai didn’t care, that was life. Life didn’t give out equal opportunities to everyone, you just had to make due with what you had. He lost his father figure and mentor, then was gunned down, and then thrown into whatever the hell this was. He got a blade that was rusty and dull, but that didn’t matter. Kai wasn’t going to complain. All he had to do was, refine his rusty blade and use it to cut his way to the path of heaven.</div>

<br>
Yukan watched this scene unfold on high alert for the duration. He heard Ceylan and thought perhaps he hadn't dealt with something like this before, after all it sounded like this tree had been an enigma to all of them. but he did not question the lack of a definitive answer , giving Ceylan an affirmative nod.<br>
<br>
At first the Shrine maiden's assist struck Yukan as a good thing as he saw the other units decimate the undead. From the well placed Riku calvary strike to the divine celestial being as well as the  formation and teamwork they had used with the healers. But it wasn't long until suddenly he felt the tree gripping him too, and Gyoubu looked like she was in distress. Perhaps it had gone haywire with the addition of Gyoubu's nature magic and she had lost control of what was going on  in it's presence.  At a moment's notice it felt like the tide of battle was already shifting in an unfavorable position, but before Yukan could even properly react to being restrained Ko was swift to jump into action cutting what was holding many of them to bits including Yukan.<br>
<br>
Everything felt like it was happening very fast, as even before Yukan could give the order after being freed for one of the healers to assist Gyoubu, Ceylan was already on it and heading toward the tree presumably with the summon himself. This meant that Yukan would need to act quickly and precisely in what he conveyed next to the group so that things didn't fall apart.<br>
<br>
Of course that was when he noticed all the activity going on at the portal, which was far from good, it looked like it was shifting to something else entirely, and the undead were starting to come back toward them! Not only that but those figures, he was unclear why they were there, or who that  other person with the blade was  but thankfully it looked like he was  starting to engage  the undead, the bad news for him was that it was unclear how many of them were now going to be attracted to the stranger once he started his assault. Of course Yukan had no idea how powerful this guy was, but having that many undead around you when you attacked was risky business given the number game he knew that much.<br>
<br>
It couldn't be helped however, Yukan was going to ensure that Ceylan could get to that tree and he was going to try to maximize their chance of surviving this hell picture scroll that was unfolding before their eyes.<br>
<br>
<br>
He turned to face the undead  flank before proclaiming with the ablity: <b> To Arms!  <br>
<br>
"Foreigners and undead to our flank, be wary,  We should shift formation to face the onslaught and get ready for potential  impact, we need to hold them off long enough for Ceylan to complete the purification process. Whiteclaw, have some of your scouts keep an eye on Ceylan incase they need immediate ranged  support." </b>He'd call out now thanks to the freedom of mobility  that Ko had provided  during that rapid development of events. The last line he said just incase the tree decided to spawn more hostiles in the other direction, after all who knew what it was capable of. Yukan's use of language was very much deliberate, he was not going to directly command units under Riku's jurisdiction, instead it was a suggestion to them, thus he only called out Whiteclaw by name. All he could do was hope that Ceylan's healing of Gyoubu was enough to stave off whatever had happened back there. He also did not command Ko, because Ko was not one of his men, he was someone who was helping so as far as Yukan was concerned Ko had the autonomy to do what he thought best, whether it was staying back, going on the offensive or helping Ceylan.<br>
<br>
As for Riku he did not want to usurp Riku's authority as he had no intention of challenging it, Thus he phrased it as a suggestion to be heard to anyone who wasn't directly under Yukan's command.<br>
<br>
Actions: <br>
1. Turn around to face onslaught into position.<br>
2. To Arms! - Leadership E, Warfare F, Republic of Kuridan Etiquette F Grade E- Post Cooldown 1<br>
Yukan uses his leadership skills and knowledge on warfare to give warfare related orders.</div>

Paru puffed out her cheeks as the dark haired mutt muttered something, had an outburst, and then leaped away. Mannerless savage. She had been trying to thank him. Oh well, no point in dwelling on it now, there were bigger things to worry about. She let out a sigh and turned to aide in the defense against the zombies, accepting an arm that pulled her onto the back of a boar. She hardly knew how to fight from boar back, but she could swing her large sword real hard, so that should be something. As she readied herself to charge with her co-rider, the ground erupted in white strands of fiber like substance, constraining everyone in place. Whatever this was it was different from the grasping muck she had experienced earlier, though the meaning was the same. This place wasn't ready to let the intruders go. She prepared to swing at the protrusions grasping the boars legs, when suddenly she felt the familiar eruption of air with steel. The clawing tendrils fell away in tatters. She glanced once more at the mutt and smiled. Maybe he wasn't completely hopeless after all. The larger tanuki shouted out strategy as they regrouped and formed up. Tapping the tanuki on the boar with her, she gripped her sword tightly with one hand and wrapped her other around him. <span style="color: rgb(250, 250, 51)">"Ready.

					<div class="bbWrapper">In the heart of the Nightmare Swamp, a place where the sun dared not shine, a malevolent loss reigned supreme. The sky overhead was a tumultuous sea of dark, roiling clouds, casting a suffocating gloom over the murky waters. The air hung heavy with the stench of decay, an ever-present reminder of the twisted abominations that lay entombied beneath the stagnant depths.<br>
<br>
The twisted, gnarled trees that bordered the swamp stood like ancient, maleficent guardians, their skeletal limbs adorned with drooping tendrils of sickly green moss. Each branch reached out as if to snare an unwary traveler, and every knot and gnarl seemed to contort into the visage of a tormented soul, trapped for eternity within the cursed bark.<br>
<br>
From the inky waters of the swamp, the undead sloshed. Their decayed forms slowly went back towards the living, making a sickening, guttural gurgle. Their flesh, rotted and discolored, clung to their skeletal frames, barely held together by sinew and rot. Their once human eyes were now hollow, bottomless pools of hunger and malice, reflecting only the darkness that had consumed them.<br>
<br>
These shambling horrors lumbered through the waters, their movements slow but inexorable, drawn to the small army of beastkin who stood resolute in a patch of crystal clear water. The beastkin army stood in a defensive formation, their faces a mixture of fear and determination as they prepared to face the second half of the undead horde.<br>
<br>
As the zombies closed in, the beastkin warriors raised their spears, their eyes darting between the grotesque, shambling creatures and the dark, foreboding trees that surrounded them. The air was thick with tension, as though the very swamp itself held its breath, waiting for the inevitable clash of life and death.<br>
<br>
The silence was broken by a low growl, a primal warning from one of the beastkin as the first zombie drew near. Aurichal's celestial light flashed once, illuminating the terrifying scene for an instant before the thunderous crash shook the swamp. The battle began, the clash of spears and the tearing of flesh echoing through the oppressive darkness.<br>
<br>
In the Nightmare Swamp, where evil held dominion and the line between life and death was blurred, the fates of the brave beastkin and the relentless zombies would be decided in a terrifying dance of violence and despair, as the clouds overhead continued to churn, indifferent to the struggle that unfolded below.<br>
<br>
------<br>
<br>
Behind the valiant army of beastkin, in the distance, there stood a dying, old tree, a monolithic sentinel that seemed to defy the passage of time. Its gargantuan form loomed over the battlefield, towering above the canopy like a once-mighty king, now reduced to a tragic, decaying remnant of its former glory. Its bark, once as resilient as a sequoia, was now marred by the ravages of time, disease, and the ever-present corruption of the Nightmare Swamp.<br>
<br>
The tree's colossal trunk was split down the middle, cleaved by some ancient, unspeakable force, revealing a gaping maw that plunged into the very heart of the swamp. This dark, foreboding hole seemed to exude an aura of malevolence, as if it were the very mouth of the abyss itself, ready to swallow all that dared to venture too close.<br>
<br>
Despite the chaos unfolding on the battlefield, the tree remained eerily still, untouched by the winds that howled through the twisted branches of its brethren. The hole seemed to draw in the darkness that permeated the swamp, its inky depths hungry for the light and life that dared to exist within its domain.<br>
<br>
From the shadows of the tree's immense cavity, faint whispers and ghostly wails could be heard, carried on the fetid breeze. These were the echoes of the souls who had been lost to the Nightmare Swamp, their torment resonating from the depths of the abyss, a chilling reminder of the fate that awaited those who succumbed to the swamp's insidious grasp.<br>
<br>
As the beastkin fought their undead adversaries, they could not help but steal anxious glances at the immense, dying tree and the ominous hole that lay behind them. It was as if the tree stood in silent judgment, a testament to the darkness that enveloped the swamp and a harbinger of the doom that seemed to loom over them all.<br>
<br>
On the eve of the second battle, the tree and its gaping hole stood as a sinister symbol, a malevolent presence that could not be ignored. It was a constant reminder of the malefic forces that pervaded the Nightmare Swamp, and the unknown horrors that awaited the brave souls who dared to venture too close to the darkness.<br>
<br>
-------<br>
<br>
The air hung heavy with a foul, putrid stench, as the sky was shrouded by the dark, ominous clouds looming above the Nightmare Swamp. The twisted, gnarled trees reached out with their jagged branches like the skeletal hands of the damned, eager to ensnare any who dared to venture through the murky waters. Shadows stretched and danced across the swamp, as if the very darkness itself was alive and thirsty for blood.<br>
<br>
The stillness was shattered by the guttural groans and chilling whispers of the undead, their waterlogged bodies dragging through the murky depths as they approached the small, valiant army of beastkin that stood ready to defend. The tanuki boar-riding cavalry stamped their hooves impatiently, their riders gripping their spears tightly, eyes flitting back and forth, searching for the enemy. Two units of spearmen formed a solid line of defense, their determined faces betraying no fear. A unit of keen-eyed archers adjusted their bows, arrows nocked and ready to fly. The agile scouts moved quietly through the waters, their senses heightened by the adrenaline coursing through their veins.<br>
<br>
The magical healers, their catalysts emanating a faint, reassuring glow, whispered sacred incantations to fortify their comrades. Among the beastkin stood the fierce samurai sword fighters, their katanas glistening with deadly intent, their eyes set in a piercing gaze, as they prepared to unleash their fury upon the encroaching horde.<br>
<br>
As the first wave of zombies reached the beastkin's defenses, a cacophony of snarls, shrieks, and the clash of steel against rotting flesh filled the air. The tanuki boar cavalry charged forward, their riders' spears finding their marks with brutal efficiency, felling the undead monstrosities with each deadly thrust. The spearmen held their ground, their weapons impaling the wretched creatures and driving them back into the murky depths, while the archers rained down a lethal shower of arrows, piercing the skulls of the advancing horde.<br>
<br>
The samurai sword fighters moved like whirlwinds of steel and death, their katanas slicing through the air with lethal precision, severing limbs and heads with each graceful, deadly arc. The scouts circled the battlefield, striking at the zombies from unexpected angles and disappearing back into the shadows before the enemy could react.<br>
<br>
Through the din of battle, the magical healers continued their incantations, their voices ringing clear and true above the cacophony of war. Their healing magic coursed through the beastkin, mending wounds and bolstering the warriors' strength.<br>
<br>
For several long, agonizing minutes, the Nightmare Swamp was consumed by the gruesome battle between the living and the dead. The beastkin fought with ferocity and tenacity, their courage unwavering even in the face of the relentless onslaught of the undead. The dark waters of the swamp churned with the gore and detritus of the fallen, a testament to the harrowing struggle that would forever scar their minds.<br>
<br>
----------<br>
<br>
The relentless tide of the undead showed no sign of ebbing, and the beastkin's defenses began to falter. One by one, the spearmen were overwhelmed, their once-impenetrable line crumbling under the sheer weight of the ravenous horde. Desperation crept into the hearts of the warriors, as they began to wonder if their valiant stand was in vain.<br>
<br>
Just as all hope seemed lost, the scouts led by the wise owl kin Whiteclaw and the fiery Indicus swooped in, their eyes burning with determination. Whiteclaw's talons tore through the zombies, his wings stirring up powerful gusts of wind that sent the undead sprawling across the swamp. Indicus unleashed a torrent of fire from his maw, the intense flames engulfing the zombies and reducing them to ashes. Together, they stemmed the tide of undead, buying precious time for their beleaguered comrades.<br>
<br>
The healers, their faces etched with exhaustion, struggled to keep pace with the mounting injuries sustained by the warriors. Their once-bright magical auras dimmed, flickering like dying embers as their energy reserves dwindled. Some of the spearmen, their skin pallid and their eyes sunken, teetered on the brink of death, their bodies succumbing to the necrotic infection inflicted by the zombies' tainted claws and teeth.<br>
<br>
Despite the overwhelming odds, the remaining beastkin fought on, their hearts galvanized by the timely intervention of Whiteclaw and Indicus. The tanuki boar cavalry charged once more into the fray, their riders' spears thrusting with renewed vigor. The archers' arrows continued to find their marks, thinning the undead ranks with each deadly volley. Ko and Paru, their blades flashing in a symphony of steel, cut down the wretched creatures by the dozens.<br>
<br>
The battle raged on, a desperate struggle for survival waged within the shadowed depths of the Nightmare Swamp. With every passing moment, the beastkin's reserves of strength and hope waned, but their indomitable spirit refused to be extinguished. As the fight drew on, they steeled themselves for the final, decisive clash that would determine the fate of their lives and their minds.<br>
<br>
----------<br>
<br>
As the tide of battle surged and ebbed, an eerie change came over the swamp. Emerging from behind the endless waves of zombies, a brick road materialized, its once vibrant grey hue rapidly yellowing as though it had aged a thousand years in mere moments. This sinister incarnation of the yellow brick road from the Wizard of Oz seemed to twist and contort, evoking a deep sense of foreboding and unease.<br>
<br>
With a grace and speed that belied the treacherous terrain, Kai, the fleet-footed warrior, sprinted along the darkened path, his moon blade gleaming ominously in the dim light. As he raced towards the embattled beastkin forces, he deftly took pot shots at the zombies, his sword artfully whistling through the air as it sliced through rotting flesh.<br>
<br>
Noticing the lone warrior, a few of the zombies broke away from the main horde, their grotesque forms shambling towards Kai with a hunger that could never be sated. Undaunted, Kai stood his ground, his eyes narrowing as he readied himself for the oncoming onslaught. With a fluidity and precision that could only come from years of disciplined training, he danced through the ranks of the undead, his moon blade carving a deadly path through his foes.<br>
<br>
As Kai cut down the last of his attackers, he glanced up, his gaze meeting the eyes of the beleaguered beastkin forces. The sight of someone else, alive and fighting, reignited a spark of hope within their hearts. They redoubled their efforts, their weapons finding renewed strength as they continued to hold back the relentless tide of the undead.<br>
<br>
With a final, determined sprint, Kai joined the main force of beastkin, his moon blade adding its lethal song to the symphony of battle. The warriors, inspired by their reunited comrade, fought with every ounce of their remaining strength, their indomitable wills refusing to yield even as the dark road behind them threatened to consume all that they held dear.<br>
<br>
----------<br>
<br>
As Kai melded into the ranks of the beastkin warriors, Yukan, the seasoned Tanuki commander, saw the opportunity to seize the momentum. With his fur bristling and his eyes ablaze with determination, he leaped onto a small, elevated mound of earth, his commanding presence drawing the attention of his weary comrades.<br>
<br>
Raising his weapon high, Yukan's voice boomed across the battlefield, cutting through the cacophony of battle with the authority of a true leader. <br>
<br>
"Foreigners and undead are at our flank, be wary," he roared, "Shift formation to face the onslaught. We need to hold them off long enough for Ceylan to complete the purification process." <br>
<br>
As the commander's words resonated through the hearts of the beleaguered army, their spirits began to rise, and a renewed sense of purpose filled their weary bodies. Yukan continued again, his voice unwavering, "We need to hold them off long enough for Ceylan to complete the purification process!"<br>
<br>
A resounding battle cry erupted from the army, their voices joining together in a thunderous chorus that shook the very foundations of the Nightmare Swamp. Their eyes, once clouded with despair, now burned with the fierce light of determination and defiance.<br>
<br>
The battle took on a new intensity, as the beastkin warriors charged once more into the fray, their spirits buoyed by their commander's stirring speech. The tanuki boar cavalry crashed through the zombie hordes with renewed ferocity. Ko and Paru, now with Kai flashed to fill any gap that had opened. While the spearmen accompanied by Indicus cut and burned down their foes with a renewed sense of purpose. The archers rained down a hailstorm of arrows, their aim unerring, and Whiteclaw's scouts continued to strike from the shadows with lethal precision.<br>
<br>
The Riku's healer and Gyoubu, inspired by Yukan's rallying cry, found a hidden wellspring of strength deep within their souls. Their magical auras flared to life, the glow of their catalysts casting a warm, physical light across the battlefield as they mended wounds and restored their comrades back to fighting form.<br>
<br>
United in their resolve, the beastkin army surged forward, a tide of fierce determination that would not be broken. The Nightmare Swamp, once a place of darkness and despair, was now the stage for a heroic stand that would be remembered for generations to come.<br>
<br>
----------<br>
<br>
Within the depths of the Nightmare Swamp, two figures moved with purpose through the treacherous landscape. Ceylan, a holy priest clad in robes adorned with sacred symbols, and Aurichal, a powerful Hound Archon with a fierce, canine visage, were driven by a mission that would test their courage and determination.<br>
<br>
As the duo pressed on, their path led them towards the dying, old tree, a monolithic sentinel that seemed to defy the passage of time. Its gnarled limbs stretched into the sky, casting eerie shadows over the swamp's murky waters. The tree's once-mighty form was now ravaged by decay, a testament to the insidious corruption that had taken hold of the Nightmare Swamp.<br>
<br>
The two companions approached the ancient sentinel, their eyes drawn to the gaping maw that opened before them, a dark portal that seemed to swallow all light and hope. The entrance beckoned, a siren's call that promised secrets and danger in equal measure. With a shared nod, Ceylan and Aurichal steeled themselves and entered the maw, plunging into the very heart of the swamp.<br>
<br>
As they descended into the darkness, the air grew colder and more oppressive, and the putrid stench of decay hung thick in the air. The tree's twisted interior was a labyrinth of tunnels and chambers, each more foreboding than the last. Ceylan's holy symbol glowed faintly, casting a soft light that pierced the gloom and guided their path. Aurichal, his senses keen and his muscles tense, remained vigilant, prepared to defend his companion from any hidden dangers that lurked within the tree's depths.<br>
<br>
Deeper and deeper they ventured, the weight of the darkness pressing down upon them like a heavy shroud. Each step they took seemed to echo through the endless chambers, a haunting reminder of their isolation within the heart of the Nightmare Swamp. Yet, the two companions pressed on, their resolve unwavering, for they knew that the fate of the swamp and its inhabitants rested upon their shoulders.<br>
<br>
----------<br>
<br>
Ceylan and Aurichal delved deeper into the bowels of the ancient tree, the darkness growing ever more oppressive with each step they took. As they ventured further into the inky blackness, they became aware of a malevolent presence that seemed to slither through the air, wrapping its tendrils around their very souls.<br>
<br>
This dark nightmare, an embodiment of all the pain and suffering that the tree had partially digested over its long existence, seemed to take on a life of its own. The twisted amalgamation of misery and despair had manifested into a sinister entity, its sole purpose to feed on the light that Ceylan and Aurichal carried within them.<br>
<br>
As the duo pressed on, the nightmare grew ever stronger, its insatiable hunger clawing at the edges of their consciousness. Shadows writhed and danced along the walls of the tree's interior, taking on grotesque forms that seemed to mock the very idea of life itself. The air grew thick with the palpable sense of dread, a miasma of darkness that sought to suffocate the holy beings.<br>
<br>
Aurichal, his canine features set in a snarl, stood protectively in front of Ceylan as the nightmare's presence coalesced into a tangible form, its monstrous visage a twisted mockery of life. The Hound Archon's eyes burned with righteous fury, and his entire being radiated a fierce, celestial energy that seemed to defy the darkness itself.<br>
<br>
---------------<br>
<br>
Above the sky still hung heavily, dark and foreboding, as if the heavens themselves dared not look upon what had happened in the Nightmare Swamp.<br>
The gnarled, twisted trees surrounding the battlefield seemed to writhe in discomfort, their branches reaching out like skeletal fingers, as though trying to grasp the fleeting remnants of hope that lingered in the air. The sickly sweet scent of decay hung heavily in the air, a testament to the brutal combat that had just taken place.<br>
<br>
On the other side of this macabre scene in the direction that had once lead home, the portal had been shaped into the entrance to a deeper layer of nightmares. Guarding this passage stood two impossibly perfect Fair Folk, their lithe forms encased in armor of jade and dreams. They bickered with each other, their voices like silver bells, discussing the nature of fighting and swords. They paid little heed to the ongoing battle between the undead and the beastkin, their interest piqued only when the beastkin emerged victorious.<br>
<br>
"Curious, don't you think?" one of the Fair Folk mused, a smile playing upon their ethereal lips. "How something so savage can overcome the relentless force of the undead."<br>
<br>
"Yes," the other replied, a hint of disdain in their melodious voice. "But such victories are fleeting in this realm."<br>
<br>
As they spoke, the deeper nightmare began to take root around the portal, the swamp's fetid waters continuing to recede, replaced by a dense, old-growth forest reminiscent of the eerie woods from ancient fairy tales. Shadows danced across the trunks of timeless trees, as though concealing unknowable secrets.<br>
<br>
From the darkness between the timeless trees, a cacophony of cackles filled the air, heralding the shaping of flying monkeys from Kai's dreams. These abhorrent creatures, once the whimsical guardians of a far-off land, now bore grotesque visages, their twisted forms a mockery of their former selves. Their malevolent eyes gleamed with malice as they occasionally swooped down from the gnarled branches, eager to inflict chaos and suffering upon all who dared to venture into this realm of nightmares.<br>
<br>
The Fair Folk continued on in their conversation ignoring the growing number of flying monkeys that formed to guard the portal. <br>
<br>
<i>OOC: And with that the battle against the zombie horde is over and Ceylan may or may not prevail. And now to figure out if and how you will get home.</i></div>

He had to fight a lot of things to get himself to keep moving towards the tree. The nightmare. His fear of all the death and decay surrounding him. His fear of more zombies coming back to 'life' to try and stop him. His stomach trying to throw out its contents at the stench of it all. <a href="https://www.rpnation.com/threads/isekai-hell-rooted-in-the-past.513253/page-4#post-11408531" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fthreads%2Fisekai-hell-rooted-in-the-past.513253%2Fpage-4%23post-11408531&amp;hash=5b6c9945b5c11611954ed2179f7a5152">Oddly enough, the tree reminded him of Aegrizora. Another tree that'd been cursed, which he'd managed to cleanse.</a> That gave him courage. After all, if he succeeded once before, he might do so again. No, he <i>would</i> do so again.<br>
<br>
Even so, how could he not shiver upon hearing the whispers of lost souls? Upon seeing the light-consuming darkness within the tree? Yet shiver as he might, tail clenched between his legs, he moved onwards. Being afraid wasn't a sin. Letting the fear guide you was. Thus he wouldn't. He'd not succumb to it. After a nod between him and Aurichal, he entered the darkness. The even thicker stench of decay made him fail his attempts at keeping his stomach in check, but even so, it was a momentary set-back. He'd continue onwards.<br>
<br>
The deeper they got, the the heavier it felt to keep moving onwards. He was glad he wasn't alone in this. Outside, they might still be fighting. Inside, Aurichal was with him. Both were enough reason for him to continue onwards with conviction. <br>
<br>
At some point, he didn't even need his [Sixth Sense] to sense the evil hanging thickly in the air, like a cloud of smoke that filled your lungs and made them burn and shrivel up. The more he felt it wrap its tendrils around his soul, the stronger his conviction grew. How could it not? If he was truly a [Wandering Saint], then this was where he'd need to wander towards. A place he was needed most.<br>
<br>
Finally, Ceylan found it. A tangible form of this nightmare. The root of all of this. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Do not be afraid.”</b></span> He spoke, his voice having found an odd sort of peace amidst this nightmare. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“For as truly as the heavens have blessed me a [Holy Child], I shall cleanse all this corruption and allow the good to return.”</b></span><br>
<br>
The time for holding back was long behind him. He touched the [Medallion of Aegrizora] he obtained, recalling the deity and bringing forth some of his strength, either in spirit or literally, depending on if his call would be answered. Regardless, he'd reach out towards the tangible parts of the nightmare, unafraid due to having faith in that his [Action 1: Blessed Fortune (D)] would be guiding him to where he needed to be. After, he tapped into his full potential, using every bit of the power the gods had gifted him to cleanse this place with [Action 2: Curse Cleanse (B)]. He'd target this corruption from all possible angles, using up to fifty streams of cleansing energy of his own to pierce through it and rid this world and realm of its cursed energy and powers. Strengthened by the presence of the radiant Hound Archon, he felt like they were unbeatable right now. <br>
<br>
Finally, he calmed down. This turmoil, this curse, it didn't just need cleansing. It needed curing, recovering. It needed to be soothed. Thus he used [Action 3: Soothing Aura (C)] to calm any volatile energies that remind and sooth them, allowing the tree to recover and calm itself, after the many years of torture it'd suffered underneath the crushing weight of the curse it'd fallen too. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“In the name of all that is good and sacred, in the name of the deities that granted me strength, please, be at peace.”</b></span> He prayed, as his aura spread across this realm.<br>
<br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Flying Monkeys? Kai was sure that somebody watched too much Wizard of Oz, by somebody, he meant himself as his boss was quite the fan of classic American movies. Of course he could make fun of them all they wanted, but that would stop being funny once they started to move down to attack…<br>
<br>
Kai was not a complainer, but he was honestly starting to get sick of this place, he wanted out at this point, he was in this dream too long. If he wanted to move forwards he needed to wake up away from these ethereal lands. This realm of dreams and his dreams were now in his way… but it was <b>his</b> dreams, <b>his </b>nightmare. Here the thing with dreams and nightmares, if you know you are dreaming, you are in control of them, that is what is called lucid dreaming. <br>
<br>
Kai willed, he commanded. ‘DO NOT GET IN OUR WAY.’ He forced  this order over his own dream. He was under control here. He wasn’t going to let his nightmare get in his way. No he will not let it. He reached out to the nightmare and willed with all the willpower he could muster. <br>
<br>
<b>‘Begone and let us awaken.’</b></div>

<br>
Breathe, in, out.<br>
<br>
From breath comes life, from life comes movement, movement begets the strikes that continues your breath.<br>
<br>
Keep breathing, and you will continue to fight.<br>
<br>
He regarded each foe like the last, faceless and grotesque, but the stomache roiling horrors would not prevail in disturbing his concentration. He had trained for years to attain mastery of the blade... He will not let his path end here. A cut, a slash, a severance of limb, decapitation, splitting the belly before rounding back to cut the spine, piercing the eye socket and twisting... How many had fallen? How many to go?<br>
<br>
Did it matter?<br>
<br>
No, it did not, in this day they were unthinking weapons, steel was not to falter this day and they were made of it. Commanded forth to slay and slay they did. Proof of victory was within the acts done to attain it, the strength of a strike was in the arm that started it. Their victory relied upon them, and upon them it fell... Should they be strong enough to hold out.<br>
<br>
"No matter the scent surrounding you, breath and strike! Manage your strength! Remember the basics they save your life where complexities strain!" he called, cutting the legs out from an undead monster... Did this one seem familiar..? Did it matter? No. He does not remember, they all look the same outside of their limbs and points of weakness, but him... he looked the part of what he was claimed to be.<br>
<br>
Long spoiled blood, rent skin and rotted fat stain the blade, until he flicked it to the side, the mithril letting slip the viscera of countless undead fall into the waters... His breathes were slow and deep, revealed eye observing all around with narrowed focus and swiftness seen in those in under great panic. It took a solid fifteen seconds before he noticed the dead were laying still, new threats...? he noted the strange armored people, there was another strange person...<br>
<br>
...Another white haired person..? What was he doing here...? is he the cause of this? The fuck did those strange two armored people come from?<br>
<br>
Think of what you've learned. A sword is truth and lie, for to be one is to be another within the eyes of one and many, a truth can be half of a lie, a lie can be half of a truth. What is the full truth of this place? He didn't know, he was no metaphysical... investigator... Person...<br>
<br>
A sword is also a means of defense, and offense, that much is known just from looking at it. it's a weapon.<br>
<br>
A weapon, however, that cut through to the dream of a dead disgusting rotted monster tree. or was it caused by this person? Are they the dead tree given form? He was certainly suspicious. Maybe taking his head would solve the issue? <br>
<br>
Hrmm... Where was the big thing...? Ko was certain there was something big here... Was his instincts wrong? What was that feeling he felt when he was shown a flash of this place?<br>
<br>
....<br>
<br>
"Oi! Deergirl with the pretty eyes. You were here first, are you a part of this? Whats the deal with this guy and the monkeys? They new things to kill or they gonna let us out? Who gives monkeys wings anyways? That sounds like a bad idea in general."<br>

Who would have thought what had just supposed to be a hunting party would have led to all of this chaos? Yukan had no intention of getting involved on the field so soon against a real enemy, yet here he was with the people of Kuridan serving as armed forces, fighting against large swaths of monsters. He wouldn't have ever imagined it so soon. This was certainly giving him some much needed field experience. Yukan needed  to further hone his combat  skills he knew this now. Riku was correct. Ko and many of the others seemed much more adept to combat, and Yukan felt that it was only logical he learn the spear before learning the sword. He needed to at least obtain the rank of an Ashigaru captain equivalent which was arguably the extent to what he was in his hunting party role, even if not in a formal military capacity.<br>
<br>
Even with all of these thoughts in Yukan's mind, he knew that they had to press onward, they had to act as a wall of steel against the horde, as long as it took ceylan they had to bide him time, the words he spoke came from the heart. Defeating this evil tree would make Kuridan ever so more secure. The growing intensity of the battle and the mounting corpses, was arguably disturbing. All these undead, it was as if a hell picture scroll had unraveled itself  before them to show them the depths.  There were so many fighting in that moment as well from RIku, Ko, all the healers, the spearmen, the bow and arrow users, the  precise scouts, and calvary. Unfortunately there were just so many enemies that it was incredibly oppressive. It wasn't too long before Yukan could see with his very own eyes that the formation was starting to wane   and there wasn't really any recourse as everyone was getting widled down from exhaustion. This was why Yukan had to get stronger, he had to get stronger to protect his comrades in times like these.<br>
<br>
<b>"Hold your resolve, hold it for all of those who sacrificed themselves for the beasts of Kuridan. We will not turn our backs on evil  and allow it to consume this land." </b> <br>
<br>
Yukan proclaimed defiantly even as they were being increasingly burdened by the horde. Thankfully even as Yukan proclaimed this and hope was wavering,  Said foreinger came to their aid and the tide of battled shifted in their favor once again, and it seemed everyone pushed toward one common goal, the goal which was now looking increasingly obtainable.<br>
---<br>
After what was presumably much fighting and several on the brink of death, overextended healers and the like now there were flying monkeys in the distance, even as the undead horde had finally dwindled from the exchange.<br>
<br>
He looked forward toward the winged potential adversaries. He also looked over to see if he could gather how much progress Ceylan had made but his realm was far from something easily understandable. He then looked back to the strange figures. That was an important question indeed, were they going to let them leave? Yukan had presumed once the tree was purified the way back to their world would be opened but that was not seeming like a guarantee. For now Yukan stayed with the group as he saw Ko engage.<br>
<br>
He felt now the best move was to buy time on the  chance that Ceylan needed more, so he figured he would throw his hat into the ring too.<br>
<br>
 "I do not know who you are but if it can be avoided, we have nearly fulfilled what we set out to do here, if you would allow us to pass we can avoid any further conflict."   <b>Republic of Kuridan Etiquette F </b><br>
<br>
 Yukan said toward the figures and monkeys, adjusting his voice depending on their distance from the portal and their proximity as needed. He knew the last thing this overworked group was to have to fight those two and the flying monkeys which were a strange sight indeed, perhaps some sort of Yokai. He found Kai's interaction interesting to say the least, even if he didn't fully understand who he was or why he was there yet, maybe he had authority over these beings?</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Indicus's chest heaved as he looked across the swamp seeing the bodies of his enemies before him his claws covered in the black ichor that filled the undead. This was his first major fight and he couldn't help but notice his own disappointment that it was over, mixed with the excitement of a fight won. <br>
<br>
Indicus looked over himself and saw his cheap brown peasant shirt was now just strips of cloth covered in black ichor and his red blood. Indicus saw several of his deep blue scales on his arms and sky blue scales on his chest chest cracked or chipped, blood and ichor served to further hide their luster. At least the ants responsible for daring to damage his scales were now dead so he could stand satisfied as new scales grew to take their place though he would need a very deep cleaning to restore the shine of his scales. <br>
<br>
Looking at the tree in the distance Indicus knew it was now up to that priest to do his part so they could be done with this cursed realm.</div>

<br>
As the nightmare entity lunged forward, its hunger for the holy light nearly insatiable, Aurichal met the creature with a mighty roar, his golden sword raised to strike like reys of sunlight against the darkness. Each time Aurichal's sword touched a tendril darkness gave way but so to did the power of Aurichal's sword diminish. The tree's depths trembled with the force of the battle, the very air crackling with the energy of their conflict.<br>
<br>
Ceylan's conviction resonated through the ancient tree, his unwavering faith a beacon of light in the heart of the darkness. As he invoked the Medallion of Aegrizora, a warm, divine energy began to emanate from the sacred artifact. Whether it was the spirit of the deity lending its strength or simply the memories of his previous triumph, Ceylan's heart swelled with renewed determination.<br>
<br>
Aurichal stood steadfast by his side, his celestial presence a shining beacon of hope amidst the encroaching shadows. As Ceylan reached out to the nightmare's tangible form, he could feel the guiding hand of his Blessed Fortune upon him, leading him to the heart of the corruption.<br>
<br>
With unwavering resolve, Ceylan unleashed the full power of his Curse Cleanse, the holy energy surging forth in fifty streams of divine light. The sacred energy pierced through the heart of the darkness, tearing apart the nightmare's malevolent tendrils and purging the ancient tree of the corruption that had plagued it for centuries.<br>
<br>
As the nightmare's power waned, Ceylan began to emit a soothing aura that washed over the tree, calming its tortured spirit and promoting healing. The aura spread throughout the tree, filling the once-foul chambers with a gentle warmth and light, banishing the lingering traces of darkness and despair.<br>
<br>
As Ceylan's prayer echoed through the heart of the tree, the Nightmare Swamp seemed to exhale a collective sigh of relief. A few lightning bugs flickered about the tree casting faint, blinking celestial light each time thier luminence shone. The ancient tree, once a twisted sentinel of decay, now stood as a symbol of rebirth and redemption, its branches reaching towards the heavens in gratitude. The waters about grew crystal clear and for several hundred feet the dead began to properly progress on the cycle of life, their bodies forming food for new hope and dreams of the future.<br>
<br>
Ceylan and Aurichal, having cleansed a portion of the Nightmare Swamp and restored the ancient tree, now stood within the once-tainted shrine, found the air in the hallowed hall twisted and slowly, ever so slowly the blue electric light of Aegrizora's sigil grew in power and intensity, establishing a link and resonnance with the newly created shrine. <br>
<br>
The deity's voice was still sorrowful but hopeful, a measured opptomism perhaps. "I thank you childe for dedicating this shrine to me and continuing to undo the centuries of corruption allowed to fester in this dreamrealm when those like Tanarukk began their experiments. I feel the echoes of their experiments on soul forgings and dream shaping. The fae of Creation have wilder kin from the edges of chaos, constrained only by the stories they believe in. It was this story that Tanarukk told me, of the coming Balorian Crusade of the Great Old Ones and the Fair Folk eager to shatter the laws of Creation. <br>
<br>
As Aegrizora, Ceylan, and Aurichal stood in the purified shrine, the deity began to speak, revealing more about the history of the tree and the role it played in the Nightmare Swamp.<br>
<br>
"This ancient tree has stood here for millennia, bearing witness to countless events, both good and evil. It has long served as a repository of corruption, but part of a system that would take such corruption and transmute it, much like a lymph node in the body. Over time, it would absorb the darkness and corruption that plagued the land, helping to maintain balance in the swamp and its surroundings. Yet, even the mightiest of trees has its limits."<br>
<br>
Aegrizora's voice grew somber, the weight of the past heavy upon him. "When Tanarukk and his ilk arrived, they performed experiments upon the little dreams of this place. They created a fey interspecies of empathy and communication, devoted to fostering harmony and friendship. However, that was a byproduct of their true aims, turn such shrines as these into machines capable of generating an army of dark nightmares such as you fought. Beware, childe, for what you fought was the distillation of such work. However, the vintage of dark nightmare was never meant to fight but to reside."<br>
<br>
"Thanks to your courage and unwavering resolve, the tree has been cleansed and in time the rest of the Nightmare Swamp may return to its natural state. The tree will continue its role as a sentinel, guarding against the darkness and maintaining the delicate balance of the land." <br>
<br>
Aegrizora's expression softened, a warm smile forming on his divine visage. "I am forever grateful for your help again, Ceylan and Aurichal. Your actions have not only saved the tree and the Nightmare Swamp but have also restored hope and balance to the waking world."<br>
<br>
"Now that you bear my sigil and this shrine is dedicated to me, I will invest in you the power as it's Shrine Guardian. You may pass this burden to another but until you do it will be yours to carry."<br>
<br>
<i>[</i><b><i>Lost: Medallion of Aegrizora</i></b><i> - A medallion gifted by Aegrizora that may or may not summon the deity.<br>
[<b>Gained: <i>Aegrizora </i>Shrine Guardian Token; </b>With this token attuned and in possession, here in the seat of your power in the heart of the Shrine of Cleansed Curses you are enhanced considerably. There were mysteries about the Shrines and their powers to unravel, yet they remain the key to the Daimyou maintaining power and many will covet what you now possess. Each Shrine Guardian holds tremendous clout within the Daimyou’s court. It is even rumored they would reincarnate if killed, regenerate if hurt while defending it, or even that their magical abilities related to the shrine were empowered within it's vicinity!]</i><br>
<br>
As the purified shrine began to flourish once more, Aegrizora's spirit continued to suffuse the place, granting a portion of his divine protection as a testament to the bravery of the two holy beings who had fought against all odds to save the Nightmare Swamp.<br>
<br>
<i>[<b>Gained: Bonus Shrine Ability: Permenant Celestial Defender</b>; The shrine is an aritifact of power, and instead of enhancing your own personal power, you may instead allow one celestial being remain as a defender against invaders, using the Shrine as a Magical Item that takes on the burden of the summons with a Duration Limiter of 3; Permenant.]</i></div>

He counted his blessings, for there were many. In the end, the biggest one was succeeding at this endeavour. He was glad to hear of Aegrizora again. It'd been long. He silently listened to the explanation, but upon suddenly being made a Shrine Guardian, he was taken aback. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“You honour me greatly, yet...”</b></span> He hesitated. How to prhase this carefully and respectfully? <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I feel like my duties are not best fulfilled by watching over one place, but rather, by going where I am needed the most.”</b></span><br>
<br>
He'd have to pass on the duties of becoming a Shrine Guardian, for he couldn't spent as much time and effort dedicated to being the guardian of this one place as he should. There were simply too many other things he believed he still needed to do. Too many others to whom he still needed to offer his aid. Then who would he pass this duty on too... his eyes naturally were focussing on Aurichal. He'd been here right beside him, through the thick of this nightmare. He couldn't have done it without him. Yet... he also knew very little about him. <br>
<br>
For one, he had no clue if being asked to stay in this realm would be a blessing or a curse to Aurichal. If he'd ask Aurichal, would he answer honestly? He'd have to try. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Please Aurichal, tell me honestly. If I were to ask you to become this Shrine's Guardian, setting aside any feelings of duty and honour, would you consider it a blessing or a curse?”</b></span><br>
<br>
He wasn't sure what his other options were. Perhaps one of folk with Yukan might be up to the task? He doubted it. Perhaps he could attempt to summon someone new specifically for this task? He wasn't entirely sure if that'd work and he'd rather ask Aurichal first, considering his involvement.All he knew for sure was that he wished to leave this place in the best possible hands he could think off, yet that those hands weren't his own hands, for he was still a [Wandering Saint] at heart. <br>

"Tsk, yea came from here and yea don't know what it's about? Don't tell me yea just showed up. Guess if we did guess you could..." he shuffled in place as... Hrrmm?? <br>
<br>
The dream shifted, from nightmare to filled with hope, he wondered what happened down in that hole, what did the holy man do..? There... Was alot to unpack here, he had this feeling he was witnessing the grand undertaking of years of preparation that came down to a great moment that was.. well.. Climaxing right now. But not ending, but reaching a new level of continued output. <br>
<br>
A student surpassed a barrier to their rise, or a master can let loose their truest power upon a worthy foe? <br>
<br>
That foe was the corruption it seemed? Hrmm, furtive and recovering... much like that girl from before... Would she had died if he did not call out for aid...? he... believed that would have been the case... And the girl here... torn apart by ferocious undead... Would the others have been harmed greatly had he not stepped in? Would he have died if others had not? One helps one, one helps another... the fabric of life is weaved with a singular thread that produces indefinitely.<br>
<br>
The sword cuts this fabric, but is also bound in fabric to be better held...<br>
<br>
This metaphor was getting out of hand. <br>
<br>
He must focus. <br>
<br>
He approached the newcomers, staying abit away from that group. his sword still in hand, and the darkened mass upon his clothing drying, he was a butcher, or perhaps a surgeon, done a long days work but with still enough fervor to continue should more work come. He knew his tool, he knew his craft. What he did not know is what these new people wanted. <br>
<br>
"Armored folk and monkey, friend or foe? Or better yet give your names."</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">As the situation near the portal grew more dire, the atmosphere became tense and oppressive. The Fair Folk, who had once seemed mysterious and intriguing, now appeared menacing and hostile. The flying monkeys that had been shaped from Kai's dreams had transformed, sprouting wicked horns and sharp, vicious teeth that gleamed in the dim light. Their screeching grew more intense, adding to the sense of unease that permeated the air.<br>
<br>
The forest itself seemed to be resisting the changes happening hundreds of feet away. Thorns and aggressive plants sprouted from the ground, twisting and tangling around the trees and lunging for anything that dared approach. Even one of the flying monkeys was caught, entangled and exploded in a shower of blood and bone. The once-navigable paths were quickly choked by the encroaching vegetation, making it increasingly difficult to move around.<br>
<br>
The old building that housed the portal began to rebuild itself, as if animated by some dark magic. The crumbling walls and timbers straightened and mended, and the building's architecture took on a sinister aspect. The entrance to the portal seemed to shrink, as if the building were trying to prevent anyone from entering or leaving.<br>
<br>
The air grew heavy with a sense of foreboding. <br>
<br>
Over by the army, a few hundred feet away, Yukan called out, "I do not know who you are but if it can be avoided, we have nearly fulfilled what we set out to do here, if you would allow us to pass we can avoid any further conflict." Republic of Kuridan Etiquette F <br>
<br>
Yukan said toward the figures and monkeys, adjusting his voice depending on their distance from the portal and their proximity as needed. He knew the last thing this overworked group was to have to fight those two and the flying monkeys which were a strange sight indeed, perhaps some sort of Yokai. He found Kai's interaction interesting to say the least, even if he didn't fully understand who he was or why he was there yet, maybe he had authority over these beings?<br>
<br>
The Fair Folk, amused by Yukan's plea, responded with a tone that was equal parts playful and menacing. Their voices seemed to come from all directions, echoing through the thorny forest and bouncing off the walls of the old building that surrounded the portal.<br>
<br>
"Oh, dear mortal, you wish to pass without conflict? How charming! We do love a good show of bravery," the female Fair Folk of them said, their laughter ringing through the air like the tinkling of bells.<br>
<br>
"But alas," the male Fair Folk chimed in, "We are the Fair Folk, and we are not known for making things easy for your kind. Where would the fun be in that?"<br>
<br>
The flying monkeys, now sporting horns and sharp teeth, cackled and screeched, their eerie laughter joining the Fair Folk's as they circled overhead.<br>
<br>
"Perhaps," a the female Fair Folk voice suggested, "We could strike a bargain. After all, every good story needs a twist, does it not? What can you offer us in exchange for passage, mortal? Choose wisely, for our whims can be fickle, and our tempers swift."<br>
<br>
The Fair Folk were unpredictable and dangerous, and striking a bargain with them would not be a simple task.<br>
<br>
Flying Monkeys? Kai was sure that somebody watched too much Wizard of Oz, by somebody, he meant himself as his boss was quite the fan of classic American movies. Of course he could make fun of them all they wanted, but that would stop being funny once they started to move down to attack…<br>
<br>
Kai was not a complainer, but he was honestly starting to get sick of this place, he wanted out at this point, he was in this dream too long. If he wanted to move forwards he needed to wake up away from these ethereal lands. This realm of dreams and his dreams were now in his way… but it was his dreams, his nightmare. Here the thing with dreams and nightmares, if you know you are dreaming, you are in control of them, that is what is called lucid dreaming. <br>
<br>
Kai willed, he commanded. ‘DO NOT GET IN OUR WAY.’ He forced this order over his own dream. He was under control here. He wasn’t going to let his nightmare get in his way. No he will not let it. He reached out to the nightmare and willed with all the willpower he could muster. <br>
<br>
Mentally, Kai asserted: ‘Begone and let us awaken.’<br>
<br>
As Kai attempted to take control of the dream and reshape the flying monkeys, the Fair Folk and their winged minions seemed to falter for a moment, caught off guard by the sudden surge of power and determination from the young man. The monkeys' cackling and screeching quieted down, their beady eyes darting back and forth between their masters and Kai, as if unsure of whom to obey.<br>
<br>
The Fair Folk, however, were not so easily swayed. Though they had been momentarily taken aback, they quickly recovered their composure, their laughter growing even more sinister.<br>
<br>
"Oh, my dear boy, did you truly believe you could command us, the Fair Folk, in a realm of dreams and illusions?" the male Fair Folk taunted, their voice dripping with mockery. "We have danced upon the edge of dreams for eons, and your feeble attempts to control us are laughable at best."<br>
<br>
As the male Fair Folk spoke, the flying monkeys seemed to regain their confidence, their horns growing longer and their teeth sharper. They screeched and cawed, resuming their menacing circling overhead, as if to emphasize their masters' words.<br>
<br>
"However," the female Fair Folk voice whispered, its tone laced with malice and curiosity, "your audacity is intriguing. We do appreciate a bit of entertainment. Perhaps there is still a way for you to amuse us and, in return, earn your passage. But tread carefully, mortal, for our patience wears thin."<br>
<br>
With that warning, the Fair Folk fell silent, watching and waiting for Kai's next move, their laughter still echoing through the dense, thorny forest as the old building around the portal continued to rebuild itself.<br>
<br>
-----<br>
<br>
<i>Within the new shrine...</i><br>
<br>
Ceylan had no clue if being asked to stay in this realm would be a blessing or a curse to Aurichal. If he'd ask Aurichal, would he answer honestly? He'd have to try. “Please Aurichal, tell me honestly. If I were to ask you to become this Shrine's Guardian, setting aside any feelings of duty and honour, would you consider it a blessing or a curse?”<br>
<br>
Ceylan wasn't sure what his other options were. Perhaps one of folk with Yukan might be up to the task? He doubted it. Perhaps he could attempt to summon someone new specifically for this task? He wasn't entirely sure if that'd work and he'd rather ask Aurichal first, considering his involvement.All he knew for sure was that he wished to leave this place in the best possible hands he could think off, yet that those hands weren't his own hands, for he was still a [Wandering Saint] at heart. <br>
<br>
Aurichal pondered the question for a moment, his golden eyes reflecting the sincerity of Ceylan's inquiry. It was evident that the decision weighed heavily on the dragon's heart, but he also understood the importance of the task at hand.<br>
<br>
After a moment's silence, Aurichal finally spoke, his voice deep and resonant. "Ceylan, you have always treated me with kindness and respect, and I am grateful for the trust you have placed in me. I understand the gravity of this responsibility, and while I am honored by your consideration, I must also be true to myself."<br>
<br>
He paused, his gaze meeting Ceylan's. "If I am to be entirely honest, I would say that it would be both a blessing and a curse. A blessing, for I would be able to serve a noble cause and protect a sacred place that has been reclaimed from darkness. But also a curse, for I have long been a free spirit, and the thought of being bound to a single location is... daunting."<br>
<br>
Aurichal drew in a deep breath before continuing. "However, if you truly believe that I am the best choice for this task, and if there are no other viable options, I will accept this responsibility. I will do my best to honor your trust and the memory of those who have suffered in this place."<br>
<br>
As Aurichal spoke these words, a sense of determination filled his voice. It was clear that while the prospect of becoming the shrine guardian might be a challenging one, he was prepared to embrace the responsibility if it meant safeguarding the sanctity of the shrine and ensuring the well-being of those who might seek refuge there in the future.<br>
<br>
-----<br>
<br>
<i>Back outside by the Beastkin Force...</i><br>
<br>
Riku, the leader of the Boar Calvary and commander of a significant portion of the beastkin army, stood tall amidst the chaos. As he watched the swamp return to its natural state and the mysterious beings fade away, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride and relief. However, his thoughts were not entirely selfless. Riku saw an opportunity to gain even more power and respect among his people by taking credit for the victory.<br>
<br>
As he addressed his fellow warriors, Riku carefully spun the narrative in his favor. "Today, we have fought valiantly and achieved a great victory. Under my leadership, we have cleansed this cursed place, and we have paved the way for a brighter future. Our efforts have shown the strength of the beastkin and the power of the Boar Calvary," Riku said, his voice booming with authority and self-assurance. "If need be, we will trample the Fair Folk who think they can bar our way home."<br>
<br>
<i>Meanwhile Tashigoto...</i><br>
<br>
Tashigoto, the pragmatic and logistical Tanuki, observed the situation with calculating eyes. He understood that Riku, his cousin, was trying to take credit for the success of the mission, and he knew the importance of staying relevant in this ever-changing scenario. As someone who had been with Yukan for a longer time and had funded a significant portion of the work, Tashigoto couldn't let Riku's actions go unnoticed.<br>
<br>
Approaching Yukan discreetly, Tashigoto spoke in a low, measured tone. "Yukan, I understand that Riku has been instrumental in our efforts, but we must not forget the contributions of the entire team. It's important to acknowledge the efforts of everyone involved, especially those who have been with you from the very beginning."<br>
<br>
He paused for a moment, gathering his thoughts. "As the leader, you should address the entire group, ensuring that credit is given where it's due. In doing so, you'll not only reinforce your authority but also maintain a sense of unity and cooperation within our ranks. Furthermore, it's essential to keep an eye on Riku's actions and ambitions, so they don't overshadow the hard work of others."<br>
<br>
Tashigoto's words were practical and grounded in the experience of managing resources and people. He knew that keeping a balance in the group dynamics was crucial for the overall success of their mission and maintaining a healthy working relationship among the members.<br>
<br>
<i>Gyoubu is also nearby....</i><br>
<br>
Gyoubu, weakened from overexertion but determined to protect Yukan and the integrity of the mission, approached Yukan and Tashigoto. Despite her fatigue, her eyes burned with the urgency of her message. "Yukan, Tashigoto is right. We must make sure that everyone's contributions are acknowledged and appreciated. However, there is another matter that requires your immediate attention."<br>
<br>
She paused, struggling to catch her breath but determined to get her message across. "It is crucial that no single individual, especially from the Masanori clan, gains control over the shrine and uses it for political leverage. Such an event could have far-reaching consequences and threaten the delicate balance of power."<br>
<br>
Gyoubu looked around, ensuring that no one else was within earshot. "My advice to you, Yukan, is to seize the initiative before Riku can and establish an impartial governing body or council to oversee the shrine's management. By doing so, you will prevent any one person or clan from exploiting the shrine for their own gain. Moreover, it will reinforce your leadership and demonstrate your commitment to fairness and justice."<br>
<br>
Gyoubu's words, though spoken with difficulty due to her weakened state, were heavy with the wisdom of someone who understood the potential consequences of unbalanced power dynamics. She knew that Yukan's actions in this moment would have a lasting impact on the future of the shrine and those involved in its protection.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">indicus listened to the chatter among the beast kin and quickly understood the situation. The tree was a kind of shrine once upon a time and now it was freed of corruption it would be a place of power once more and now everyone wanted a piece of the pie and a careful political balance was in a state of imbalance. Part of Indicus was interested in the shrine but Indicus knew if he did somehow gain control he would be rooted to this area and unable to pursue his own goals, something that Indicus would not allow to happen if he could help it not when he was close to a lead this witch that seemed to know something about him.<br>
<br>
Indicus not wanting to be apart of the politics decided to check the shrine itself out. Corrupted it gave him many visions that resonated with him freed of corruption maybe it could still help, besides maybe the priest would know what the silver substance was that he got from the tree was and maybe an idea of why it resonates so closely with him. <br>
<br>
 Indicus walked up to the shrine admiring the tree now that it looked healthy and strong, radiating a holy aura. There he saw the priest. "Hello priest, I see you were successful. I wanted to ask a question about something I found within the physical tree while it was corrupted I don't even know if it has anything to do with it or not but I figured someone as well traveled as you might be able to tell me more about ," Indicus took out a vial of the silvery liquid. "This substance it acts as a sort of acid or some equivalent that burns on contact causing great pain and causes illusions of fire at least that is what it projected last I saw it actually used, seeded in people acting as carriers for the stuff actually the woman you helped save earlier was one unfortunate carrier."</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Kai… stepped forwards, no fear or hesitation… for a moment it would appear that he was going to challenge the two fae… but he didn’t. He didn’t say anything to them, instead his whole being told them what he thought of them… they were nothing. They did not even hold a meaning to the man. Their swordsmanship, their power. Kai did not even consider it worth acknowledging. He didn’t even feel hate or disgust, they were nothing to him.<br>
<br>
“Are ya satisfied?”<br>
<br>
Kai asked his nightmares manifested. The flying monkeys, a representation of who he failed. The sorrow of those memories manifested into physical forms. The guilt of his failure manifesting into this torment. His nightmares.<br>
<br>
“Are ya satisfied with serving those two nobodies? Ya all are manifestation of me, ya are my dream and nightmares, are ya all telling me, I’m satisfied betraying the boss!?”<br>
<br>
Kai suddenly shouted at his nightmares.<br>
<br>
“The truly strong do not look down on the powerless, they do not have that arrogance to look down on those who are In misfortune. Those who do are the truly weak, are ya telling me ya are satisfied with following those weaklings over there? Do you not remember?”<br>
<br>
The Fae had power, but they only used it to justify looking down on those less fortunate, to toy with others at their whim. They may have power, but they had no spirit. Without spirit, they were weak, weaklings with power.<br>
<br>
In contrast, Kai could remember when he was also the same, having power, but no spirit. He could remember his lowest, he could remember wasting away on the streets beneath the heavy rains. He had nothing there, he tossed away everyone and forsaken everything. He should’ve have died there, but a hand had reached out to him. That hand was full of strength, not a false one only composed of power, but true spirit to back that power up. He did not look at him with arrogance, but guidance.<br>
<br>
“Do ya not remember what Yakuza is? Yakuza is the number of misfortune. It is the lowest number, the biggest misfortune. Yet even the lowest numbers have a value. That is what the Boss taught us.”<br>
<br>
Kai paused as he told his nightmares.<br>
<br>
“I failed to protect the Boss, but his spirit still lives on. Serving those two nobodies, those who grow arrogant with a little bit of power, those with rotten spirits goes against everything he taught us.”<br>
<br>
Kai looked at his nightmares once again. With fury in his eyes, fury directed towards himself and himself alone he asked again.<br>
<br>
“Are ya all satisfied with betraying that spirit? With betraying the man that gave us his hand that day… Are ya satisfied with betraying him!?”<br>
<br>
Kai paused before answering his own question.<br>
<br>
“Because I’m not. If even a single part of myself is willing turn their back on the Boss…”<br>
<br>
Kai pointed the blade of the moonlit Katana to his own neck.<br>
<br>
“I’d rather… <i>Die than betray his spirit</i><b>.</b> “<br>
<br>
<b>“So, tell me… my nightmares… myself. Are. Ya. Satisfied?”</b></div>

<a href="https://gbf.wiki/Ceylan_%28Event%29" target="_blank" class="link link--external" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fgbf.wiki%2FCeylan_%2528Event%2529&amp;hash=310219aca8234900810cd1fe3218566b" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">Ceylan (Event) - Granblue Fantasy Wiki</a></div>
		</div>
	</div>
</div></div><b>Languages:</b> Common | &lt;Beastial&gt;<br>
<br>
Ceylan's tail and ears drooped a bit. Then he shook his head. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I couldn't expect you to take on a task that I would not be willing to do myself, especially not when we deem it daunting for the same reason.”</b></span> He sighed, wrecking his brain for a bit. He felt a tremendous responsibility for leaving this place in the best hands possible, but an equally large pressure to remain unbound to a location like this. What to do... what to do...<br>
<br>
Wait a second. Other viable options. He might not be sure about other viable options in this realm, but what about the other? His ears perked up a bit at the thought. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Do you know if you could locate someone that would be fit for this purpose in the realm I summoned you from and that you could bring them to the place you were summoned from, so that I may send you back and summon them in your stead? I am willing to rely on your judgment regarding whom might be suited for this task, if that means we can find someone suitable that isn't worried about being bound to a single location.”</b></span><br>
<br>
That was the most promising option he could come up with. However, he did debate another. He wondered if it was possible to make Aegrizora (or part of the deity) himself a Shrine  Guardian. Or if he could use the token to summon a follower of Aegrizora for it. He drew upon his [Religion B] knowledge as well as his knowledge as a Syncretist (Connected B – Syncretist Church) to see if there were options that he'd been missing thus far.  <br>
<br>
<b>Mentions:</b> Indicus <a href="/members/shadow-dancer.5867/" class="avatar avatar--xxs" data-user-id="5867" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" id="js-XFUniqueId77">
			<img src="/data/avatars/s/5/5867.jpg?1488154907" alt="Shadow Dancer" class="avatar-u5867-s" width="48" height="48" loading="lazy"> 
		</a> <a href="/members/shadow-dancer.5867/" class="username " dir="auto" data-user-id="5867" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" id="js-XFUniqueId78">Shadow Dancer</a>
<br>
<br>
He was surprised when his pondering was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Indicus. He'd not realised that the realms and become so easily bridged right now, or perhaps they'd even merged again? Either way, upon getting over his initial surprise, he looked at what he'd been presented with.<br>
<br>
<span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I'm not an Arcanist, but I can give you my best guess.”</b></span> He said, wondering why Indicus was carrying such vile sounding stuff. However, upon his examination of it, he realised what Indicus told him about it clashed heavily with what he managed to figure out. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“From what I've gathered from the tree itself, these were placed here by a white haired girl, until someone of her own kin would come and retrieve them. I'm not sure what they are, but they shouldn't be harmful, especially not in the manner you state them to be. If anything, I believe they should be beneficial. Perhaps the effects you speak of simply arose due to them being used by incompatible targets?”</b></span> That's the best guess he could give.<br>
<br>
That said, he had a question of his own. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Would you mind informing me of what happened outside of the shrine? Are there any causalities?”</b></span> He was a little concerned about the victims that might've fallen during the time it took him to cleanse the tree.</div>

Indicus listened to the priest and nodded. "You are probably correct about what it is perhaps what I saw used last night was something derivative or as you said the ones that used it were incompatible." Indicus put the vial away in a pouch on his waist.|<br>
<br>
 "Everyone is alive from what I have seen, injured and in need of a bath to clean the blood and zombie ichor off  but I don't believe anyone died. There is a lot of interest in this shrine politically, all the politics is why I decided to check the shrine out and ask my question rather then stay and listen." Indicus shook his head. "I much rather fight for my life then deal with it." <br>
Indicus sat down in front of the shrine  "Thanks for answering my question, I think I might just sit and wait here for awhile if you don't mind, the atmosphere here is nice and peaceful."</div>

First he would address those who sought to make their travels back difficult. Seeing this twisting and shifting environment as everything became increasingly more hostile was a bit unsettling, but it still paled in comparison to the hell picture scroll which Yukan had seen facing off against all of those undead. Now he would speak adjusting his voice once more as needed, to convey what he thought was appropriate for this situation.<br>
<br>
"I believe you have a score to settle with such an a front to your authority "<br>
<br>
He'd gesture toward Kai who was only making things more manageable with his words for Yukan to shift the attention to him instead of the whole group having to start a fight. Yukan could just sense a certain authority and resolve that Kai had, perhaps this was a situation where it was destined to be Kai's fight against these beings and maybe it was something that they should not all interfere with is possible, just the way he spoke to his 'nightmares' made Yukan feel like this was a more personal affair than he had been expecting.<br>
<br>
"What could be more entertaining than being confronted with a mortal who claims authority over what you say is yours, and he claims is his?, I propose that you test your mettle, Fae and prove your words true, and  by the same token allow this man  to prove to all of us that his  strong words of conviction are true."<br>
<br>
While Yukan wasn't entirely sure if this was the right decision, he felt out of respect for Kai, his past, and his dreams that it was sounding more and more like this was something that Kai needed to deal with himself and cease control of this situation.<br>
<br>
---<br>
Here Yukan was again he was going to play the political game, thankfully he had been studying for times like these.It was a very predictable move for Riku to claim the credit through his glorious leadership skills for why they had succeeded, he made it very clear from the get go that he wanted the rewards that were to be reaped from the successful completion of this task that Yukan had committed to.<br>
<br>
First Yukan listened to Tashigoto's words which sounded wise to him. He allowed him to maintain the discreteness of the situation, by maintaining a relatively neutral stance from that point onward, facing toward Riku and the others . Yukan then gave him a slight nod after he gave his piece.<br>
<br>
"I understand." He replied quietly.<br>
<br>
 "I have no intention of allowing you or the others contributions  to be forgotten." he concluded.<br>
<br>
While he didn't particularly have evidence his hunch was that part of Tashigoto's motivation for saying this to him was that he didn't want his own credit to be left behind, this was understandable to Yukan that's just how this game worked.<br>
<br>
Yukan looked to Gyoubu, his serious face turning to one of a bit of concern seeing just how worn the shrine maiden looked. Of course he knew that a toll had been taken on her too, never mind whatever had happened earlier with her being unable to cancel her ability, it had been that foul tree, which he was sure had drained her too never mind the undead. He listened to Gyoubu's words and also gave her a nod, to show that he understood what she was saying, of course the shrine was going to be used politically. Yukan had no intention of allowing the Masanori clan to bolster itself to that extent, this meant that he needed to choose his words well in his next announcement.<br>
<br>
"Thank you." Yukan replied softly once more, it  having multiple meanings, from her deciding to stick by his side even when he had made that arguably poor first choice to try to stand out and better his chances, and even now joining him against evil which she risked her life for.<br>
<br>
----<br>
Once he heard from both sides and Riku had spoken Yukan decided that now was the time to speak to the group and convey what Tashigoto and Gyoubu shared with him.<br>
With his <b>Leadership E + Republic of Kuridan Etiquette F </b> Yukan rose his voice for the occasion.<br>
<br>
<b>"My comrades, While commander Riku speaks true that he played an essential role in this operation leading his calvary and those with him against the forces of evil, It should be said that all of you here today played an essential role.  Without our diligent healers such as Shrine Maiden Gyoubu,  we would have potentially lost many lives in this conflict. Our formation gave us strength, something which our leadership collaborated on. White Claw's leadership ensured support at pivotal junctures with ranged support and leadership skills with the scouts.All of you who decided to come and risk your own lives for the betterment of Kuridan  who took the front lines bravely with your spears, blades, and arrows are to be commended. The wandering swordsman Ko who not only freed many of us when we were ensnared up against our enemies but also joined our ranks when he had no obligation to , he event went against the horde himself to save a woman's life. Tashigoto</b> <b>not only accompanied us here but he has put many resources into our operations and has given valuable advise. Indicus played an essential role in helping us find this evil to purify.</b><br>
<br>
 <b>And of course there is  Ceylan who was essential to restoring this Shrine and purifying the evil, everyone here today has made noble decisions and should be commended for their work for this was a grand collaboration of what we can achieve when we all work together for the good of Kuridan."</b><br>
<br>
Yukan spoke with as much authority as he could muster in this moment.<br>
<br>
<b>"With all of that said, Ceylan willingly came here to purify this shrine of his own volition and was successful in purifying the shrine from evil. Without him our primary objective would not have been possible today. Further more anyone can see how the divine are favorable to him with the beings he is in contact with, this is a point which cannot be refuted. And finally Ceylan is a third party who has no proclaimed  loyalty to any one of our clans. As a result of these compelling factors, it is of my strongest belief that he, celestials  and anyone else he deems suitable who does not possess a direct  affiliation to any  our families  are the most suitable, and fair choices to decide the future of this shrine and whose jurisdiction it shall fall under.</b><br>
<br>
<br>
With that Yukan followed Gyoubu's advice to the T, the celestials and Ceylan were a third party who had no loyalty to any clan involved, so they should be neutral choices, nor was he leaving the decision up to anyone singular person. As a result of this choice, no one who had any specific clan affiliation or specific agenda should have been chosen in Yukan's mind.</div>

"...Uhh.... Alright guess I'm getting noticed again..." Ko had become abit confused on exactly what he was suppoused to do at this point... Well, it was nice, to not be overlooked and assumed little of. Upstarts like to take glory from those who rightfully deserve it after all... But... he performed acts not for glory, but to perform them. The extraneous stuff was... Discomforting... But... He was unsure at this moment what to do...<br>
<br>
He fell back in line, or rather admist the crowd of people, fighting over for the second, he observed the other more important people around, before giving a small shrug.<br>
<br>
"You certainly speak alot of words, your a nobleman then? Fits from the retainers, giving glory to em and all people is suprising, to hear from one anyways." the young canine man produced a toothpick, cleaning a canine fang in his mouth. "If we get outta this alive, yea have chance to hire me if desired. Yea've seen my skill, and my boast having tutelage of a Swordmaster is no lie. I ain't for fancy stuff, so my prices are cheap and fair. Being a taught ascetic helps keep costs low yea?<br>
<br>
...Don't skimp on good tea and we'll do plenty fine." he made his offer to the tanuki (<a href="/members/thetimepiece.61269/" class="avatar avatar--xxs" data-user-id="61269" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" id="js-XFUniqueId104">

 ) before considering the others in his entourage... Then looked at Paru. "Oi! Catdeer! it ain't everyday yea get a noble being kind, so get in on this! Better in this flock than one who fusses over glory!<br>
<br>
...Actually... heh... Gloryhog.. Riding a boar... Hehehe." (<a href="/members/starprincessval.99210/" class="avatar avatar--xxs" data-user-id="99210" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" id="js-XFUniqueId106">

</blockquote><br>
Aurichal considered Ceylan's proposal, his golden eyes thoughtful as he mulled over the idea. The newly sanctified Shrine of Cleansed Curses was an impressive sight, with its ancient tree trunk adorned with intricate carvings and shimmering crystals, the lush canopy above casting dappled light onto the area below. It deserved a worthy guardian to protect its newfound purity.<br>
<br>
"It is possible, though not guaranteed," Aurichal began. "The realm I come from has many beings with various skills and talents. However, finding one both willing and suited to take on the responsibility of guarding this shrine might be challenging."<br>
<br>
He paused, his tail flicking gently behind him, then a thought struck him. "There is a being I know who might be suitable for this task. A Shield Archon, a creature of law and goodness, dedicated to protecting what is precious and just. They are armored giants sheathed in metal from head to toe, one arm ending in a spear-like blade, the other in a massive shield. They are formidable guardians, and their presence alone is often enough to deter those with ill intent."<br>
<br>
Aurichal's sincerity was evident, and his willingness to help alleviate Ceylan's burden was genuine. "If you trust my judgment, I can attempt to contact the Shield Archon and see if they would be willing to take on this responsibility."<br>
<br>

There is a lot of interest in this shrine politically, all the politics is why I decided to check the shrine out and ask my question rather then stay and listen." Indicus shook his head. "I much rather fight for my life then deal with it."<br>
<br>
Indicus sat down in front of the shrine "Thanks for answering my question, I think I might just sit and wait here for awhile if you don't mind, the atmosphere here is nice and peaceful."

</blockquote><br>
Aurichal glanced at Indicus, the Dragonborn with striking blue scales, and gave him a warm, understanding smile. "You're welcome, Indicus. It's only natural to seek refuge from the chaos that often accompanies politics. I'm glad that you and the others have made it through the ordeal relatively unscathed."<br>
<br>
He gestured to the serene surroundings of the Shrine of Cleansed Curses, with its dappled sunlight and calming energy. "You're more than welcome to stay here and enjoy the peace and tranquility that this place has to offer. The newly sanctified shrine is meant to provide solace and healing to those in need, and your presence here is a testament to its power."<br>
<br>
As Indicus settled down near the shrine, Aurichal's gaze lingered on him for a moment before turning back to Ceylan. "I will now attempt to contact the Shield Archon, as we discussed earlier. Please take care of things here while I'm away, and I'll return as soon as possible with news."<br>
<br>
With a final nod to both Ceylan and Indicus, Aurichal focused his mind and began the process of reaching out to the extraplanar being he had in mind. The peaceful atmosphere of the shrine seemed to bolster his efforts, and he hoped that the Shield Archon would be receptive to the idea of guarding this sacred place. As he worked, the tranquility of the shrine continued to provide a welcome respite for Indicus and the others, offering a soothing balm to their weary spirits.<br>

			Kai… stepped forwards, no fear or hesitation… for a moment it would appear that he was going to challenge the two fae… but he didn’t. He didn’t say anything to them, instead his whole being told them what he thought of them… they were nothing. They did not even hold a meaning to the man. Their swordsmanship, their power. Kai did not even consider it worth acknowledging. He didn’t even feel hate or disgust, they were nothing to him.<br>
<br>
“Are ya satisfied?”<br>
<br>
Kai asked his nightmares manifested. The flying monkeys, a representation of who he failed. The sorrow of those memories manifested into physical forms. The guilt of his failure manifesting into this torment. His nightmares.

The Fair Folk tilted their heads, their eyes narrowing as they observed Kai's utter disregard for their presence. They exchanged glances, a silent communication taking place between them. They had expected fear, anger, or at the very least, some form of acknowledgement. But instead, they were met with indifference.<br>
<br>
The flying monkeys screeched and cawed in agitation, the twisted creatures baring their jagged teeth and flexing their talons menacingly. They could feel the weight of Kai's apathy, and it unnerved them.<br>
<br>
The Male Fair Folk stepped forward, a playful yet dangerous smile on his lips. "You dare dismiss us so casually?" they questioned, their voice dripping with a mixture of amusement and malice. "You may think us inconsequential, mortal, but we are anything but."<br>
<br>
The Female Fair Folk chimed in, their voice like the sound of rustling leaves, "Perhaps you should reconsider your stance, lest you find yourself regretting it?"<br>
<br>
The atmosphere grew heavy as the Fair Folk and the twisted flying monkeys considered Kai's words. The standoff seemed to stretch on for an eternity, each side waiting to see who would falter first.<br>

“The truly strong do not look down on the powerless, they do not have that arrogance to look down on those who are In misfortune. Those who do are the truly weak, are ya telling me ya are satisfied with following those weaklings over there? Do you not remember?”

The flying monkeys and the Fair Folk seemed taken aback by Kai's sudden outburst. They stared at him, as if trying to decipher the meaning behind his words. In the silence that followed, the atmosphere grew tense, the air thick with anticipation.<br>
<br>
The twisted flying monkeys shifted uncomfortably, their screeches and caws becoming less aggressive and more uncertain. They looked between Kai and the Fair Folk, their loyalty wavering.<br>
<br>
One of the Fair Folk frowned, their features twisting with annoyance. "You dare question our authority? Your nightmares are not bound to your whims, mortal."<br>

<br>
Kai paused as he told his nightmares.<br>
<br>
“I failed to protect the Boss, but his spirit still lives on. Serving those two nobodies, those who grow arrogant with a little bit of power, those with rotten spirits goes against everything he taught us.”<br>
<br>
Kai looked at his nightmares once again. With fury in his eyes, fury directed towards himself and himself alone he asked again.<br>
<br>
“Are ya all satisfied with betraying that spirit? With betraying the man that gave us his hand that day… Are ya satisfied with betraying him!?”

His words seemed to resonate with the flying monkeys, their expressions morphing from uncertainty to understanding. Slowly, they began to retreat from the Fair Folk, their loyalty to Kai rekindled.<br>
<br>
The Fair Folk's expressions turned sour, their anger barely contained as they watched their control over Kai's nightmares slip away. But they would not admit defeat so easily. The two fae glanced at each other, a silent agreement passing between them. If they could not control Kai's nightmares, they would have to find another way to maintain their power.<br>
<br>
As the flying monkeys and the Fair Folk stared each other down, the balance of power began to shift. It was clear that the battle for control of Kai's nightmares was far from over.<br>

The flying monkeys seemed to pause, their eyes fixed on Kai as they considered his words. Their screeches and caws quieted, replaced by an eerie silence. They seemed to be weighing their options, unsure of what to make of Kai's unwavering determination.<br>
<br>
Finally, one by one, the flying monkeys turned their backs on the Fair Folk. Their actions signaled their renewed loyalty to Kai, their unwillingness to be swayed by the fae any longer.<br>
<br>
The Fair Folk's expressions turned from anger to disbelief, unable to comprehend that Kai's resolute spirit had reclaimed his nightmares from their grasp. They clenched their fists, their faces contorting with rage, but they knew they had been defeated. The Fair Folk glared at Kai, their eyes burning with resentment. <br>

			First he would address those who sought to make their travels back difficult. Seeing this twisting and shifting environment as everything became increasingly more hostile was a bit unsettling, but it still paled in comparison to the hell picture scroll which Yukan had seen facing off against all of those undead. Now he would speak adjusting his voice once more as needed, to convey what he thought was appropriate for this situation.<br>
<br>
"I believe you have a score to settle with such an a front to your authority "<br>
<br>
He'd gesture toward Kai who was only making things more manageable with his words for Yukan to shift the attention to him instead of the whole group having to start a fight. Yukan could just sense a certain authority and resolve that Kai had, perhaps this was a situation where it was destined to be Kai's fight against these beings and maybe it was something that they should not all interfere with is possible, just the way he spoke to his 'nightmares' made Yukan feel like this was a more personal affair than he had been expecting.<br>
<br>
"What could be more entertaining than being confronted with a mortal who claims authority over what you say is yours, and he claims is his?, I propose that you test your mettle, Fae and prove your words true, and by the same token allow this man to prove to all of us that his strong words of conviction are true."<br>
<br>
While Yukan wasn't entirely sure if this was the right decision, he felt out of respect for Kai, his past, and his dreams that it was sounding more and more like this was something that Kai needed to deal with himself and cease control of this situation.

The Male and Female Fair Folk exchanged glances, their expressions a mixture of amusement and disdain. It was clear they took Yukan's words as a challenge, and they seemed to be considering the proposal. The male fae's lips curled into a sneer, his eyes narrowing as he looked at Kai.<br>
<br>
"An interesting proposition, mortal," he said, his voice dripping with condescension. "To think that this human dares to challenge our authority. It's almost laughable."<br>
<br>
The female fae laughed mockingly, her eyes also locked on Kai. "Indeed, it would be quite entertaining to see this human attempt to prove himself against our might. But we mustn't underestimate him, dear brother. After all, he's managed to reclaim his nightmares from our grasp."<br>
<br>
The male fae nodded, his expression growing serious. "True, sister. Very well, mortal," he addressed Kai, "we accept your challenge. Prove to us that your conviction and loyalty are as strong as you claim. Show us that you have the strength to defy us and defend what you hold dear."<br>

As Yukan gave his speech, the faces of the Tanuki army began to reflect a mixture of emotions. Pride, gratitude, and a sense of unity blossomed among the soldiers as their deeds and sacrifices were acknowledged. Each person named in Yukan's speech stood a little taller, their chests swelling with pride at being recognized for their contributions.<br>
<br>
Commander Riku's expression turned sour, realizing that his attempt to claim sole credit had been thwarted. The Boar Calvary members glanced at their leader, then back at Yukan, nodding their heads in agreement.<br>
<br>
Shrine Maiden Gyoubu, though weak from overexertion, managed a small, grateful smile as Yukan praised her efforts. Ko, the wandering swordsman, bowed his head respectfully, acknowledging Yukan's words. Indicus stood firm, pride evident in his posture as his role in the operation was recognized.<br>
<br>
Tashigoto, standing nearby, gave Yukan an approving nod, clearly pleased with the way he had responded to Riku's brash claim. White Claw also nodded in agreement, appreciating the recognition of her leadership and the collaboration of the various forces.<br>
<br>
As Yukan concluded his speech, emphasizing the importance of Ceylan's role in the operation and the need for neutrality in managing the shrine, a murmur of agreement spread through the Tanuki army. It was clear that Yukan's words had resonated with them, reminding them of their collective strength and the importance of working together for the greater good.<br>
<br>
With the army's support behind him, Yukan had managed to effectively counter Riku's attempt to seize control and assert the need for a fair and unbiased approach to the shrine's guardianship. The atmosphere was tense, but the seed of unity had been planted, and the Tanuki army stood stronger and more united than before.<br>
<br>

			Yukan spoke with as much authority as he could muster in this moment.<br>
<br>
<b>"With all of that said, Ceylan willingly came here to purify this shrine of his own volition and was successful in purifying the shrine from evil. Without him our primary objective would not have been possible today. Further more anyone can see how the divine are favorable to him with the beings he is in contact with, this is a point which cannot be refuted. And finally Ceylan is a third party who has no proclaimed loyalty to any one of our clans. As a result of these compelling factors, it is of my strongest belief that he, celestials and anyone else he deems suitable who does not possess a direct affiliation to any our families are the most suitable, and fair choices to decide the future of this shrine and whose jurisdiction it shall fall under.</b><br>
<br>
<br>
With that Yukan followed Gyoubu's advice to the T, the celestials and Ceylan were a third party who had no loyalty to any clan involved, so they should be neutral choices, nor was he leaving the decision up to anyone singular person. As a result of this choice, no one who had any specific clan affiliation or specific agenda should have been chosen in Yukan's mind.

</blockquote><br>
Riku, sensing the change in the atmosphere and recognizing Yukan's skill as a leader, decides it's time to adapt. The Masanori clan's success has always hinged on their ability to be practical, logical, and to know when to change course. Swallowing his pride, Riku takes a step forward and addresses the gathered crowd.<br>
<br>
"Yukan's words ring true," Riku says, his voice strong and clear. "We all played our part in this great undertaking, and I must acknowledge the efforts of every individual here. My initial claim may have been misguided, and I apologize for any offense I may have caused."<br>
<br>
He turns to Yukan and bows his head slightly. "Yukan, you have proven yourself a capable leader, and your assessment of the situation is fair. In the interest of unity and the well-being of Kuridan, I, Riku of the Masanori clan, throw my support behind you and your proposal. Let us work together to ensure the Shrine of Cleansed Curses is guided by the wisdom and neutrality of Ceylan and his celestial allies."<br>
<br>
The Tanuki army, witnessing Riku's change of heart, murmurs with surprise and approval. This act of humility and willingness to support Yukan demonstrates the qualities that have allowed the Masanori clan to succeed over the years. The sense of unity among the army grows stronger, and the atmosphere shifts from tension to cooperation.<br>
<br>
Off to the side, largely ignored by the others, Ko, the dog swordsman, and Paru, the kiran girl, were engaged in their own conversation. Ko, with his rugged, canine features and skillful swordsmanship, stood confidently, occasionally brandishing his weapon with a playful flourish. Paru, on the other hand, seemed to glow with a gentle light, her antler-like horns and delicate features giving her an ethereal presence. <br>
<br>
As they exchanged banter, their body language conveyed a sense of camaraderie and familiarity. Ko would lean in, his ears perked up with interest, while Paru would tilt her head, her eyes sparkling with amusement. They appeared to be enjoying each other's company, finding solace and distraction in their lighthearted exchange amid the intensity of the unfolding events.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper"><b>"One."</b> Kai suddenly declared, even he didn't know where this was coming from, but something within was sure of his declaration as he clarified. <i>"One slash, I'll show you everything with this one strike. Nothing more, nothing less." </i><br>
<br>
He chose to gamble it all on one attack as he answered their challenge, however, he seemed to be talking beyond the Fae themselves. This wasn't about them. No, this was something that he needed to do, something he had to show to the world. He was sure of it. The swordsman summoned his Will and channeled his Nightmares. Kai held out his Moonblade, but did not draw it.<br>
<br>
<i>'The world is a Blade.</i>' The boss's word rang through Kai's head, but that was not the only words Kai recalled.<br>
<br>
<i>'The Blade is you, It is your resolve to fight manifested.' </i>Kai recalled his father's words. Blades do not have will they can not change the world without a wielder and a wielder can not change the world without a blade.<br>
<br>
"Abandon my doubts and become the blade." Kai muttered the next part  as a mantra as he gave over everything to the blade. Not just his Will and his Nightmares, the manifestations of his resolve and fears, not just the desire for power of a blade to protect, but everything. He channeled everything, his fears, his sorrows, his resolve, his joys, his hopes, his anger, all of his strength, and everything else he could manage he decided to temper into a blade, he chose for this moment to become the blade, as he took a stance. A stance without imperfections.<br>
 <br>
It was at this moment, that Kai closed his eyes. He did not choose his target, as he let the world decide what this blade would strike at. It didn't matter if he struck the Fae or if he struck nothing. If the Moon Blade shattered or if his body broke apart. Kai had chosen to give himself to the world with a simple wish.<br>
<br>
<i><b>"Let us take the first step on the Path of Heaven." </b></i><br>
<br>
With that Kai who had tempered himself into a blade and let himself be wielded by the world itself, as he drew the Moonblade and unleashed his single strike. Whatever happens. He would have no regrets.</div>

Having a chance at finding someone willing was better than a certainty of binding someone unwilling to this place. Ceylan was convinced of that much. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“That sounds like a good option, I'll trust your judgement.”</b></span> He replied. It wasn't entirely without a shred of doubt, as 'law' and 'good' weren't always compatible. Ceylan would always chose the good over the law. Even so, this option was likely the best they'd get.<br>
<br>
He looked over at Indicus. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I'm glad to hear that.”</b></span> A battle like this, without casualties? That was a small miracle of its own. That said, Ceylan did still wonder. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“If you don't mind saying, who did you say you saw using those potions again? The white haired girl that I summoned, along with the swordsman, reminded me a little of the woman I saw putting them here. Perhaps she might know of them?”</b></span> He offered.<br>
<br>
With that out of the way, it was time to get that Shield Archon in here. Honestly, Ceylan's plan was to cancel the summoning on Aurichal so the latter would return to his home-world, where he'd fetch the Shield Archon and bring him to a place where Ceylan could summon the Shield one from in Aurichal's stead. However, it seemed like Aurichal had some other, less convoluted method, so for now, Ceylan just observed. Or maybe it was like he thought and Aurichal would desummon himself? He honestly as a little lost on what to do whilst Aurichal was focussing, having only told him to take care of things whilst he'd return. Ah, return, so he wasn't going to be desummoned. Right. <br>
<br>
So... Ceylan looked around. The shrine really was impressing, right now. It was difficult to believe this was in the same awful place he was at mere moments ago. He walked over to the entrance of the shrine, to take a peak outside. Now that Indicus has shown him how easily it was to get in and out again, he wanted to quickly check if everyone was indeed alright out there. Still, he didn't want to leave the shrine altogether, not whilst he was still waiting to hear from Aurichal and his 'Shield Archon' ally, that might be their future Shrine Guardian. <br>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Indicus looked over to the priest and shrugged, "I don't know exactly who was behind these potions the first time only that the woman you saved. Sawazuki was one of the victims of the substance as for who could have put it in the tree, I was trying to follow the trail of that witch the farmers spoke of before Sawazuki was stabbed and this whole ordeal happened but like you, I have no description."<br>
<br>
 Indicus's eyes lit up as he seemed to remember something,  "Now that I think about it I believe what was used in the assassination attempt and at the farm is slightly different from what I got from the tree though both resonate with me they felt slightly different from each other. Anyway it wouldn't hurt to ask I want to find out who this mysterious witch is and what she knows about me." Indicus shook his head before remembering the cruel cloth wrapped dagger on his belt making note to figure what it was and where it came from. "I will get to the bottom of this." Indicus muttered to himself<br>

Firstly, It seemed like the Fae had taken Yukan's words to heart, anyone knew that some Fae could be just as prideful about their  perceived racial tree superiority just as any clan in Kuridan could about their stories of legendary lineage, and it looked like it was working to the groups' advantage, Kai just seemed to exude some kind of intensity that he spoke true with his words, and that this was personal and there was some kind of greater aspiration there that even if Yukan did not know the man personally, he did know that letting a man face his own challenges was an honorable and just act where appropriate. Yukan would look out at that situation every now and again and it was clear that Kai was ready to rumble on that front when he mentioned one slash. All Yukan could hope was that his decisions and faith in Kai to fulfill whatever it was Kai was getting at was going to lead them to their freedom.<br>
---<br>
<br>
Next Yukan felt a sense of relief wash over him as he had been carefully monitoring the situation with his speech, no one seemed to be offended which was a very good thing. He had managed to acknowledge everyone there and their efforts to stay that everyone had contributed in some way, even those without prestige, much like how Yukan felt when he first started, they had shown their bravery for Kuridan by willing to lay their lives on the line to save the innocent, and that Yukan found to be extremely admirable. He knew very well speeches like these could be an absolute mine field if anyone felt slighted or disrespected who was important enough, you could never be too careful with politics like these. At the end of the day Yukan knew that he would need to further hone his craft and master it, if he had any hopes of his greater aspirations coming into fruition with what he felt deep down must be actualized to better the world..Every small step was a step toward that goal.<br>
<br>
What Yukan wasn't perhaps expecting from someone like Riku was just how humble he managed to make himself seem, that was a skill in it's own right which was very valuable in this culture. First and foremost Yukan felt that he needed to respond to Riku as he was one of the most important other leader members who was there.<br>
<br>
He responded with the head lowering with a slight bow with <b>Republic of Kuridan Etiquette F </b>so that it was in proper form and height for the relationship of their rank and age.<br>
"I am humbled by your words, thank you for your support in this decision." <br>
<br>
Yukan replied as respectfully as he could. Thinking he should keep it at that. While it had crossed his mind to further praise Riku, he felt  it might come off as a bit disingenuous given Yukan knew Riku knew full well how Riku had made sure they weren't exactly off on the best foot prior to this.<br>
----<br>
When he heard the other commentary  coming from Ko Yukan almost found himself chuckling but managed to keep the same down to earth business tone he usually kept. He realized that, was probably a fair assessment Ko hadn't really seen Yukan outside of these extremely formal social  and focused events, between the crisis  management leadership  and speeches, all of which required a lot of speaking.<br>
<br>
Yukan then turned to Ko. "Matatsu Ko." He said using the formal,  giving a slight bow of respect.<br>
<br>
"You have acted bravely and selflessly on more than one occasion, and have saved lives not only with your blade but also with your perception and you have surely brought honor to your family.  I would be honored  to have you in my employment for future tasks. I will make sure to put a good word in for you in the Koyake Clan as well. for your heroic deeds." <br>
<br>
"As for your assessment, I certainly have noble blood, I would not call myself a member of the Koyake clan if this was not a fact." Yukan replied. <br>
<br>
Of course this wasn't exactly the same as being in the in crowd, but if Yukan could further his own allotted resources and influence he could certainly make it so.  Thankfully he wasn't the sort to get offended over such banter with the jokes that were made. He then looked back toward what was transpiring with Kai briefly, it was still all very much on the mind.</div>

Paru stared at the mutt as he spoke to her. Finally, she shook her head and stifled a smirk, then walked up to join him. He had a frustrating charm about him that wasn't entirely off putting, even if he did continue to refer to her as 'catdeer'. Turning to address Yukan, she tipped her head courteously. She had never spoken to a noble before. She'd barely spoken to anyone outside her village. Perhaps it was time she did so. <span style="color: rgb(250, 250, 51)">"Greetings, Noble. I am Paru, a traveler from a village hidden deep the forests of Kuridan. I seek to learn as much of the rest of the country as I can. I offer you my sword, that I might travel with you and your companions, if you should find such an arrangement agreeable."</span> She had no idea where she was or how she had gotten here. Getting back on track with her mission was her number one priority and traveling with companions seemed like the best option to make that happen.</div>

			<b>"One."</b> Kai suddenly declared, even he didn't know where this was coming from, but something within was sure of his declaration as he clarified. <i>"One slash, I'll show you everything with this one strike. Nothing more, nothing less." </i><br>
<br>
He chose to gamble it all on one attack as he answered their challenge, however, he seemed to be talking beyond the Fae themselves. This wasn't about them. No, this was something that he needed to do, something he had to show to the world. He was sure of it. The swordsman summoned his Will and channeled his Nightmares. Kai held out his Moonblade, but did not draw it.

</blockquote><br>
The Fair Folk brother and sister exchanged a glance, their expressions a mix of amusement and curiosity. The male Fae raised an eyebrow, intrigued by Kai's bold declaration. The female Fae smirked, her eyes gleaming with anticipation. They seemed to be taking Kai's challenge seriously, despite their playful demeanor.<br>
<br>
"Very well," the male Fae said, his voice dripping with arrogance. "Let's see what you've got, mortal."<br>
<br>
The female Fae simply nodded, a mischievous grin on her face, as they both stepped back to give Kai space to execute his one decisive strike.<br>
<br>
The flying monkeys, sensing the tension in the air, began to circle above, their wings flapping rapidly as they watched the scene below unfold. They screeched and cawed, their talons clenching and unclenching in anticipation. They seemed to be waiting, eager to see what would happen next and how their fate would be decided by the outcome of this single, fateful slash.<br>

			Firstly, It seemed like the Fae had taken Yukan's words to heart, anyone knew that some Fae could be just as prideful about their perceived racial tree superiority just as any clan in Kuridan could about their stories of legendary lineage, and it looked like it was working to the groups' advantage, Kai just seemed to exude some kind of intensity that he spoke true with his words, and that this was personal and there was some kind of greater aspiration there that even if Yukan did not know the man personally, he did know that letting a man face his own challenges was an honorable and just act where appropriate. Yukan would look out at that situation every now and again and it was clear that Kai was ready to rumble on that front when he mentioned one slash. All Yukan could hope was that his decisions and faith in Kai to fulfill whatever it was Kai was getting at was going to lead them to their freedom.

<br>
The trio of Yukan, Ko, and Paru couldn't help but be drawn into the unfolding confrontation between Kai and the Fair Folk. As they conversed, their expressions conveyed a mix of emotions, ranging from concern and disbelief to curiosity and cautious hope. They huddled together, their voices low and urgent, discussing the risks and potential outcomes of Kai's bold challenge.<br>
<br>
Yukan, the composed leader of the group, observed the scene with a keen eye, attempting to discern Kai's plan and determine the best course of action. Ko, the dog swordsman, couldn't help but express his disbelief at the situation, his canine features betraying his worry. Meanwhile, Paru, the kiran girl, appeared intrigued yet concerned, her eyes flicking between the intense standoff and her companions as they exchanged ideas.<br>
<br>
As the three continued their hushed conversation, the atmosphere around them grew increasingly tense. The weight of Kai's single-slash gamble hung heavily in the air, and they knew that the outcome could dictate the fate of not only Kai but their entire group. <br>
<br>
Riku, atop his dire boar, approached Yukan, Ko, and Paru with a respectful demeanor. His previous intensity had been replaced by a sense of humility and acceptance. As he closed in, the trio paused their conversation to turn their attention to Riku.<br>
<br>
Yukan, recognizing the significance of Riku's change in attitude, offered a respectful bow in response. His posture and form were precise, reflecting his understanding of the complex social dynamics at play in the Republic of Kuridan. As Yukan lowered his head, he addressed Riku, expressing his gratitude for the support.<br>
<br>
Yukan said, "I am humbled by your words, thank you for your support in this decision."<br>
<br>
Riku's acceptance of Yukan's proposal and his show of humility were not lost on the rest of the army, who watched the four talking and the final confrontation brewing between Kai and the Fair Folk. They all watched the exchanges with interest, noting the shift in power dynamics among the gathered forces. In this moment, it seemed that cooperation and unity had won over pride and competition, setting the stage for a more harmonious collaboration.<br>

			"Abandon my doubts and become the blade." Kai muttered the next part as a mantra as he gave over everything to the blade. Not just his Will and his Nightmares, the manifestations of his resolve and fears, not just the desire for power of a blade to protect, but everything. He channeled everything, his fears, his sorrows, his resolve, his joys, his hopes, his anger, all of his strength, and everything else he could manage he decided to temper into a blade, he chose for this moment to become the blade, as he took a stance. A stance without imperfections.<br>
<br>
It was at this moment, that Kai closed his eyes. He did not choose his target, as he let the world decide what this blade would strike at. It didn't matter if he struck the Fae or if he struck nothing. If the Moon Blade shattered or if his body broke apart. Kai had chosen to give himself to the world with a simple wish.<br>
<br>
<i><b>"Let us take the first step on the Path of Heaven." </b></i><br>
<br>
With that Kai who had tempered himself into a blade and let himself be wielded by the world itself, as he drew the Moonblade and unleashed his single strike. Whatever happens. He would have no regrets.

</blockquote><br>
As Kai channeled every aspect of himself into the blade, his stance was flawless, and his determination unwavering. Whispering his mantra and allowing the world to guide his strike, Kai prepared to take the first step on the Path of Heaven.<br>
<br>
With a swift motion, he drew the Moonblade and unleashed his single, all-encompassing strike. As the blade swung through the air, it shattered into countless glittering silver motes of light. The moon, a reflection of the sun's light, had become a symbol of Kai's desires, and in turn, the Moonblade had become a reflection of his very essence.<br>
<br>
As the shards of the blade dispersed, the flying monkeys, previously a manifestation of Kai's darker dreams and trauma, responded to the call of his pure intent. They soared through the air, descending upon the Fair Folk with newfound purpose and ferocity.<br>
<br>
A fierce battle unfolded, the flying monkeys attacking relentlessly, forcing the Fair Folk into a fighting retreat. Surrounded by the whirlwind of silver light and the ferocity of the flying monkeys, the Fair Folk had no choice but to fall back through the portal they had tried to control. The portal alas, a horrible wound inflected on Ko and Aurichal did not close. Rather its color became milky and mute, no longer bound to any particular interchange. Kai was left victorous, standing among the remnants of his shattered Moonblade.<br>
<br>
His single strike, a reflection of his entire being, had achieved the impossible, turning his darkest nightmares into the driving force behind his victory over the Fair Folk. As the silver motes of light began to fade, they marked the beginning of his journey on the Path of Heaven.<br>

			Having a chance at finding someone willing was better than a certainty of binding someone unwilling to this place. Ceylan was convinced of that much. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“That sounds like a good option, I'll trust your judgement.”</b></span> He replied. It wasn't entirely without a shred of doubt, as 'law' and 'good' weren't always compatible. Ceylan would always chose the good over the law. Even so, this option was likely the best they'd get.<br>
<br>
He looked over at Indicus. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I'm glad to hear that.”</b></span> A battle like this, without casualties? That was a small miracle of its own. That said, Ceylan did still wonder. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“If you don't mind saying, who did you say you saw using those potions again? The white haired girl that I summoned, along with the swordsman, reminded me a little of the woman I saw putting them here. Perhaps she might know of them?”</b></span> He offered.<br>
<br>
With that out of the way, it was time to get that Shield Archon in here. Honestly, Ceylan's plan was to cancel the summoning on Aurichal so the latter would return to his home-world, where he'd fetch the Shield Archon and bring him to a place where Ceylan could summon the Shield one from in Aurichal's stead. However, it seemed like Aurichal had some other, less convoluted method, so for now, Ceylan just observed. Or maybe it was like he thought and Aurichal would desummon himself? He honestly as a little lost on what to do whilst Aurichal was focussing, having only told him to take care of things whilst he'd return. Ah, return, so he wasn't going to be desummoned. Right.<br>
<br>
So... Ceylan looked around. The shrine really was impressing, right now. It was difficult to believe this was in the same awful place he was at mere moments ago. He walked over to the entrance of the shrine, to take a peak outside. Now that Indicus has shown him how easily it was to get in and out again, he wanted to quickly check if everyone was indeed alright out there. Still, he didn't want to leave the shrine altogether, not whilst he was still waiting to hear from Aurichal and his 'Shield Archon' ally, that might be their future Shrine Guardian.
		</div>
		<div class="bbCodeBlock-expandLink js-expandLink"><a role="button" tabindex="0">Click to expand...</a></div>
	</div>
</blockquote><br>
Ceylan peered outside the shrine entrance, taking in the scene before him. The battlefield was now calm, the tension dissipating as the Fair Folk had retreated through the portal. He saw Kai standing among the remnants of his shattered Moonblade, a new sense of resolve in his eyes. The others seemed to be recovering from the intense battle, tending to the wounded and ensuring that everyone was accounted for. A small miracle, indeed, that there were no casualties in such a fierce confrontation.<br>
<br>
As Ceylan marveled at the transformation of the once-bleak landscape, Aurichal continued to focus on the portal, weaving his celestial energy into it. The portal began to shimmer and change, now connected to the realm of the Shield Archon. Within moments, a host of celestials, led by a resplendent Shield Archon, emerged from the portal. Their presence brought an air of hope and righteousness to the shrine, as if a divine light now filled the once-dark place.<br>
<br>
The Shield Archon approached Ceylan and Aurichal, his expression solemn but kind. He had heard the call for aid and was willing to become the guardian of the shrine. Ceylan felt a sense of relief wash over him; the decision to trust Aurichal had paid off, and they had found a willing protector for the sacred site.<br>
<br>
Aurichal turned to Ceylan, nodding in satisfaction. "It is done. The Shield Archon and his host of celestials will guard this shrine, ensuring its sanctity and protection." The celestial emissary then took a step back, allowing Ceylan to address the Shield Archon and solidify their agreement.<br>
<br>
As Ceylan conversed with the Shield Archon, the others began to gather near the entrance of the shrine, curious about the new arrivals. A sense of hope and unity filled the air, as the people of Kuridan now had a powerful ally in the fight against the forces of darkness. The shrine, once a place of despair, had become a beacon of hope for all.</div>

<br>
The plot thickened. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Sawazuki was..?”</b></span> He sighed. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“She might have gotten more tangled-up within the foul ends of this than we first feared, if she was harmed by an otherwise pure potion. I shall see to her soon.”</b></span> Sadly enough, Indicus wasn't great at explaining things. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“My apologies, I don't understand. The assassination attempt on Sawazuki was a different liquid? What do you mean, they resonate with you? By mysterious witch, are you talking about Sawazuki again? I'm sorry if I'm asking a lot, but I'm afraid I did not manage to be completely filled in with events upon my arrival and I've been out of the loop ever since.”</b></span><br>
<br>
He decided to watch outside just in time to see things wrap up. Truth be told, he wasn't even sure what things were wrapping up, seeing another stranger and some folk that were leaving. Upon confirming, with his own eyes, that there weren't any victims, his tail would speak in volumes. It was wagging up a storm behind him. His otherwise calm and priestly appearance was having contrasted by the fifth limb going wild.<br>
<br>
It continued wagging when he noticed the appearance of the Shield Archon and heard the latter confirm he was willing to become a Shrine Guardian. He bowed deeply. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“You have my sincerest gratitude for taking this task upon yourself.”</b></span> He said, feeling intense relief at finding a good solution to his conundrum. After asking for the Shield Archon's name, or at least something to call him by, Ceylan sealed the deal. Chosen route: [Permanent Celestial Defender <b>[Shield Archon]</b> - The shrine is an artefact of power and instead of enhancing your own personal power, you may instead allow one celestial being remain as a defender against invaders, using the Shrine as a Magical Item that takes on the burden of the summons with a Duration Limiter of 3; Permanent.]<br>
<br>
Once that was done, he turned towards Aurichal and bowed to him as well. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Once again, I thank you for your aid and am humbled by your willingness to have listened to my summoning. Without you, none of this would have been possible. Perhaps our paths may cross again one day, but for now, I shall return to you your freedom.”</b></span> Ceylan spoke, giving Aurichal a chance to reply before cancelling the Duration on his summoning and letting Aurichal return to where he came from. <br>
<br>
Then, he turned to those outside the shrine. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“The shrine has been successfully purified, and <span style="color: red">[insert Shield Archon name here]</span> has graciously offered to become its guardian. Now, this realm may recover fully and be a safe heaven for those looking for protection in the future.”</b></span> He declared, his tail showing how happy he was with the outcome, more so than his tone voice could do. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“To all of you, thank you for aiding me.”</b></span> He said, with a bow to the rest of them. <br>
<br>
Then, he headed over to Yukan. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I'm afraid must apologise and reintroduce myself.”</b></span> He said, taking a deep breath. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“I am Ceylan, Bishop of the Syncretist Faith. Some also know me as the Wandering Saint, Hero of Aegrizora or Holy Child. I was on my way to the Holy City of Vegard, in the North-East, of which I was intended to become patron. However, my fellow priest, Longfeather, asked for my presence here and asked me to keep a low profile. The latter is why I failed to properly introduce myself, for which I owe you my sincerest apologies.”</b></span> He said, giving an apologetic bow. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Please forgive me for withholding such information, even though I was relying on your aid through-out all of this.”</b></span> The latter made him feel genuinely bad. Like... a bad dog. His tail had stopped wagging.<br>
<br>
Even so. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Although I am unworthy of it, after my previous withholding of information, I wish to ask even more of you. Your army made me realise that I have no experience healing and aiding armies in the midst of battle, so I have nothing but the utmost respect for those who do.”</b></span> He looked at Gyoubu and Riku's healer. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“With your permission and the permission of commander Riku, I would love to learn from their experiences.”</b></span> He looked at Riku as well for his last sentence. <br>
<br>
That was one thing he could cross off of his list. Then, he headed for Paru and Ko. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Once again, I apologise for having summoned you as I did. I was unsure of how else to aid the both of you and feared you might be overrun by the undead otherwise.”</b></span> He then turned to Paru in particular. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Forgive me if I am meddling with things beyond my purview, but mister...”</b></span> Wait. Had the lizard ever told his name? He realised they'd never been properly introduce. What did others call him again..? Had he even heard. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“My apologies, I do not seem to recall the Dargonborn's name. However, he has collected some sort of silver potions from the tree, which offer some beneficial properties to those that utilise them. In the short moment I was this Shrine's Guardian, before relegating these duties, I saw a white haired girl place them. Considering your sudden appearance, might you at all be related to it? My only other guess would be miss Sawazuki, who seems deeply entwined with this as well.”</b></span><br>
<br>
On the topic of Swazuki, it was time for him to question her. He'd look around to see where he could find her, but as he was doing so, he'd use [Divine Healing C] on the wounded within both Yukan's and Riku's armies. Now that there was no need to hold back, having given away his identity, there was no need to watch anyone suffer without doing something about it. (He'd recast at D and E grade if that would be needed to get to everyone.)<br>
<br>
Upon reaching Sawazuki, he would first ensure she was in good health, but then he'd speak surprisingly firmly (persuasion F) even though it was with understanding (empathy D). <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Ma'am, I believe that out of everyone, you are the one that knows most about what really happened here. Please, tell us what you know and I will do what I can to ensure you will be treated fairly, regardless of the level or type of involvement you had in it.”</b></span><br>

Paru smirked at Ko's words. <span style="color: rgb(250, 250, 51)">"I do not think I would be much of a challenge, Mutt. You fight like a man possessed. Though if being haunted gives results like that, I may have to try it myself." </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">Talking to nobles and people of renown had never been her thing, so the loud mouthed scruffy dog man was welcome solace. And the fact that he could swing a sword was all the better. None of the coarser personalities of her village had been much for combat.</span><br>

She nodded politely to Ceylan as he addressed her and Ko <span style="color: rgb(250, 250, 51)">"You have nothing to apologize for, Hijiri. You did what was necessary and I am alive because of it. That is all that matters. The ends justify the means."</span> She listened intently as he spoke to her about the strange substance they found in the tree. <span style="color: rgb(250, 250, 51)">"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't enlighten you in this. I don't know anything about such potions. I'm not even sure how I got here. One moment I was travelling the wilds of Kuridan, the next I was here and your party was before me." </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 255, 255)">He intrigued her. She would need to ask about his spiritual belief system when she got the chance. Surely her sister would be interested in learning of the religions of Kuridan.</span></div>

Indicus shook his head "The witch is someone unknown, Sawazuki is just a victim. Sorry I can't explain better I don't fully understand myself and I am running on vague theories, limited information and an instinct I don't fully understand. All I know is whoever this witch is they have some sort of interest in me and their goal is very much unknown." Indicus shook his head and continued to sit as he tried to figure out what the hell was going on. He felt like a puppet on a string dancing to someone else's tune and it was frustrating.</div>

					<div class="bbWrapper">Kai Looked at the Shattered remains of the broken Moonblade. He had given everything, but it looks like the blade was sacrificed to make the impossible, possible. As he thought that, Kai seemed to grin, as for a moment his blade had reached the Path of Heaven and of the Kensei. It was a long time, but the Yakuza took pride in his own sword skill. Though he still had a way to go, he only took a step on that path, he had a ways to go, but he was not deterred by that knowledge.<br>
<br>
That being said, Kai gathered up the broken shards. The blade served him well and despite its short life, it had come through for him. He didn't know how to repair this blade or if any mortal swordsman could. The only possible being he knew for sure that could was the two nobodies. Though Kai wasn't going to let it lying on the ground, that would be too disrespectful for a blade that served him well. Kai focused, this blade was formed from his own will... it was a part of him, thus Kai tried to become one with the Moonblade once again, returning it within his own heart and soul, so it will be with him on his journey.</div>

			It continued wagging when he noticed the appearance of the Shield Archon and heard the latter confirm he was willing to become a Shrine Guardian. He bowed deeply. <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“You have my sincerest gratitude for taking this task upon yourself.”</b></span> He said, feeling intense relief at finding a good solution to his conundrum. After asking for the Shield Archon's name, or at least something to call him by, Ceylan sealed the deal. Chosen route: [Permanent Celestial Defender <b>[Shield Archon]</b> - The shrine is an artefact of power and instead of enhancing your own personal power, you may instead allow one celestial being remain as a defender against invaders, using the Shrine as a Magical Item that takes on the burden of the summons with a Duration Limiter of 3; Permanent.]

</blockquote><br>
The Shield Archon, aglow with an ethereal radiance, stepped forward. "I am known as <b>Uriel, the Bastion of Heaven's Might</b>. I have come to serve as the steadfast protector, an immovable force against the tide of darkness," he declared, his voice resonant and comforting, echoing with celestial potency.<br>
<br>
Aurichal, standing beside Uriel, nodded approvingly. "Ceylan, I present to you Uriel, Shield of the Divine Realms. He has brought with him a host of celestial beings, all imbued with the same noble purpose of protection and steadfastness. Together, they will stand as guardians against any force that dares threaten this sacred shrine."<br>
<br>
As Uriel's words echoed within the shrine, a profound tranquility descended. The air hummed with sacred energy, and the shrine's surroundings seemed to respond in kind. The trees around the shrine stood taller, their leaves greener and more vibrant. The swamp waters, previously a murky and forbidding presence, now sparkled with reflected light, seeming less hostile and more inviting. Even the air seemed lighter, fresher.<br>
<br>
Upon Uriel's official ascension as the Shrine Guardian, a brilliant flare of divine energy surged forth from the shrine. The structure seemed to pulse with newfound vitality, its ancient carvings glowing with a soft, welcoming light. Ceylan's Shrine Guardian Token, now attuned to Uriel, hummed with a similar radiance, echoing the bond between guardian and shrine.<br>
<br>
As the purified shrine began to flourish once more, the presence of Aegrizora, the god of guardian trees, suffused the area, his divine protection a testament to the bravery of the holy beings who had fought to cleanse the Nightmare Swamp. A new alliance had been forged between Aegrizora and the celestial power that Uriel served, a partnership that promised an unyielding safeguard against any threats that dared to desecrate the restored harmony of the shrine and its surroundings.<br>
<br>
The transformation of the shrine was a sight to behold. The once dilapidated structure was now a beacon of ethereal beauty, its walls gleaming with a divine sheen. The air around it hummed with energy, a sense of serenity and safety enveloping it like a protective barrier. It was as if the shrine had been reborn, its past wounds healed by the divine intervention.<br>
<br>
With Uriel and his celestial host's arrival, the shrine itself seemed to breathe a sigh of relief. The eerie shadows that once lurked in the corners were replaced with a soft, comforting glow. The ancient symbols and carvings etched into its walls, now illuminated by the celestial light, stood as timeless testaments of its sanctity and history.<br>
<br>
The shrine's influence extended beyond its immediate vicinity, too. The swamp, once a place of dread and despair, now seemed to revel in the shrine's restoration. It was as if the shrine's purification had eased the swamp's own pain, its murky waters becoming clearer, its oppressive aura lifting to reveal a hidden beauty beneath.<br>
<br>
A subtle harmony had been restored, a balance between the divine and the natural, a symbiosis that breathed new life into the swamp.<br>

			Indicus shook his head "The witch is someone unknown, Sawazuki is just a victim. Sorry I can't explain better I don't fully understand myself and I am running on vague theories, limited information and an instinct I don't fully understand. All I know is whoever this witch is they have some sort of interest in me and their goal is very much unknown." Indicus shook his head and continued to sit as he tried to figure out what the hell was going on. He felt like a puppet on a string dancing to someone else's tune and it was frustrating.

			On the topic of Swazuki, it was time for him to question her. He'd look around to see where he could find her, but as he was doing so, he'd use [Divine Healing C] on the wounded within both Yukan's and Riku's armies. Now that there was no need to hold back, having given away his identity, there was no need to watch anyone suffer without doing something about it. (He'd recast at D and E grade if that would be needed to get to everyone.)<br>
<br>
Upon reaching Sawazuki, he would first ensure she was in good health, but then he'd speak surprisingly firmly (persuasion F) even though it was with understanding (empathy D). <span style="color: #00BFFF"><b>“Ma'am, I believe that out of everyone, you are the one that knows most about what really happened here.

<a href="https://www.rpnation.com/threads/isekai-hell-falling-to-rise.521239/post-11540672" class="link link--internal" data-proxy-href="/proxy.php?link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rpnation.com%2Fthreads%2Fisekai-hell-falling-to-rise.521239%2Fpost-11540672&amp;hash=c391d2256f457ea49ec980ad6866c2f2">Sawazuki retold her tale.</a><br>
<br>
Sawazuki, a Tanuki Geisha, was the victim of a cruel prank by an insidiously beautiful lady with silver-white hair, who was later identified as the White Witch. This lady, using her beguiling beauty and intimidating demeanor, manipulated Sawazuki and her family, causing them physical harm and psychological torment.<br>
<br>
The White Witch had several different types of concoctions that all looked very close to each other. One of them, a silver-white liquid with unique properties - when ingested, it could cause intense pain, break bones, but then magically heal those injuries within seconds. She demonstrated this on Sawazuki's family, breaking and healing them repeatedly to ensure their compliance.<br>
<br>
The other was supposed to be a harmless prank with the promise of a third potion with helpful properties. The White Witch gave Sawazuki this second type of vial and helped Sawazuki enhance her appearance. Unbeknownst to Sawazuki, the liquid was not only a healing potion but also an organic devouring acid that causes illusions when vomited out, which she later discovered to her horror.<br>
<br>
Sawazuki was coerced into leaving her family behind, the White Witch promising to keep them safe.<br>
<br>
The mysterious White Witch had planted the silver-white liquid in a large tree, which Sawazuki was meant to find as part of the "prank." Plus she could retrieve the third type of potions in the old oak tree after her prank was done to Indicus, which would not only help restore her family but make them stronger. However, this prank turned out to be a deadly trap that nearly resulted in the loss of several lives, and the old oak tree turned out to be a prison for the wicked and hungry for flesh whose excessive corruption had devastated and transformed the dream swamp into a forgotten nightmare.<br>
<br>
Sawazuki's tale not only unravelled the truth behind the horrifying events in the swamp but also revealed a potentially greater conspiracy involving Indicus and whatever had been held beneath the corrupted shrine, highlighting the danger lurking in their midst.<br>
<br>
<hr><br>
As Kai gathered up the shards of the moon blood and recalled them, the pieces fluttered like cherry blossoms around the Moon tattoo on his palm, settling in a snaking, spiraling pattern from the moon, around his wrist and up his forearm. They burned with a coldness as they settled into his skin, but settled down into a tattoo soon enough. <br>
<br>
<hr><br>
In the aftermath of the unfathomable transformation, the landscape that once held the Nightmare Swamp was now a lush and serene oasis. Small verdant hillocks, each around twenty feet in diameter, emerged from the crystal-clear, warm water like tiny islands. The swamp was no more, replaced by a gentle spring, its waters reflecting the brilliance of the sky above.<br>
<br>
The Shrine of Cleansed Curses stood as a beacon of divine intervention. Its cavernous depths, once teeming with malevolent forces, now exuded a sense of calm and tranquility. Above, in the heart of the massive tree trunk, structures began to form in the manner of the forest folk, seamlessly blending into the natural architecture of the tree.<br>
<br>
The leaders of the allied forces, Yukan, Paru, Ko, and Ceylan, huddled on one of the hillocks. They conversed in hushed tones, strategizing their next moves and speculating about the implications of the recent events. The atmosphere was heavy with the weight of their discussions, yet there was a newfound hope that pervaded the air.<br>
<br>
On another hillock, Riku huddled with his key leaders. There was a sense of urgency in their conversation, punctuated by animated gestures and intense gazes. Separately, Masanori found himself in a deep discussion with Riku, their faces reflecting the serious nature of their conversation.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, the celestial forces loyal to Uriel embarked on a task of utmost importance. They began fortifying the Shrine's defenses. Their efforts were a mixture of dream shaping and actual physical labor. It was a fascinating spectacle to watch as they shaped the reality around the Shrine using the raw power of their faith and divinity. The Shrine, now an important stronghold, was being fortified against any future threats.<br>
<br>
As the day drew to a close, the allies began to settle down. They set up camps on the hillocks, their tents dotting the landscape like a constellation of earthbound stars. The soothing hum of the spring water became a lullaby, and the cool night air descended with a promise of a peaceful rest.<br>
<br>
Thus concluded a day that would forever be remembered in the annals of their history – a day of revelation, transformation, and newfound alliances. As the stars shone brightly above, the allies prepared for the challenges and opportunities that awaited them in the days to come.</div>

Good job those of you getting through the rp. It can be trying when they run long. This one in particular likely coulda been split up or condensed. I really appreciated some of the details put in that made the setting feel very much in the flavor of Kuridan. The political stuff with the clans was nice too. However, I think it was a bit early for Yukan to be giving orders to members of the clan despite his low rank and skills. The goal of the rp was to give him a means to establish himself and I feel things moved a bit quick in that regard. That aside, even the fantasy elements of the demon tree felt right. Another portal opening up another necro zombie space..feels like they are all over IH these days. I'd generally discourage granting summons that can turn around and summon more summons, but it fit the story, so alls well that ends well I suppose XD    I did some checking though. Neither narrator for this rp nor previous rp had standing to establish aegrizora as a godly being capable of lending divine or purifying aid. The medallions that were given out that rp were also not rewarded during the rewards post so Ceylan did not officially have the medallion to leverage during the rp. I assume the rp did not hinge on those elements and that ceylan and summon likely would have found the means to purify the site regardless. Due to the church faction playing so a small role in the balance of power within the republic, it confused me a bit to see the clans fighting over control of it or the final result being the celestials from another domain would control it. That seems tantamount to an invasion and would likely be treated as such by more powerful groups in the republic. I also expect the conjured army of celestial defenders of the space to be appropriately low leveled creatures since the narrator doesn't have much standing. Here's to new beginnings. May the events of the rp inspire bigger things to come like the falling to rise part 3 probably.  It's unclear to me what all the quote replies are good for.<br>
<br>
<b>Aftermath:</b><br>
The purified shrine and lands make the space a bit more tantalizing to beastmen that have been avoiding the place. Bad memories and tragedies still keep some away despite the improvements. <br>
<br>
The news of the shrine being controlled by celestials of a foreign pantheon has alienated the rest of the church faction in the republic resulting in it being ignored and isolated. While the belief in a vast array of divine beings aligns with the predominant understanding among the republic faithful and the celestial occupation of the shrine makes the land particularly blessed and potential site for pilgrimage, the foreignness of the celestials may lead to a destabilizing of theological statutes within the country including a move towards syncretism that runs contrary to current faith policy within the nation. There is also the concern about the balance of mundane and divine mixing that could throw the spiritual ecosystem of the nation on its head which could lead to a divine reckoning no one is bargaining for.<br>
<br>
The angelic army also stirred tensions among the noble faction. Some neighboring shogunates and clans saw it as a prepping for war by Nara no Nox, injuring relations. Within Nara no nox, the clans all had shrines that operated within their territories. The idea of a shrine operating within the territory but being associated with none of the clans was perceived as an insult. To the clan's domain on which the shrine rested, it was now a blessing and a curse and would likely be the central point around which any negotiations and alliances would be formed. Koyake clan would likely have it the hardest.<br>
<br>
The merchant faction would hear of the new land and see opportunity. They would likely pull strings to move opposing forces like rival clans against the Koyake over various matters associated with the shrine in hopes of getting concessions.<br>
