Even if Coldclaw’s backstory of her past was a sad one, many in the realm had experienced terrible things at the hands of monsters. While sad, it did not excuse what Yukan had seen unfold. All the occult-like things he had seen as well as seeing evidence of those who may have been tortured in the pursuit of power were unaccounted for.
Thankfully Yukan felt a bit better that Zephyr had confirmed that she was there with him in a united front against what Yukan could only describe as someone misled committing evil before them. He gave a small nod when Zephyr caressed his cheek and he felt the now much more familiar wind. Indeed it seemed the Tanuki man had a knack for getting support at vital times from Gyoubu and now Zephyr.
Together they were able to get through the illusions and open the door, into what appeared to be a strange large room which was difficult to gauge where it started and where it ended. If anything else besides usual adjustment hopefully Yukan’s dark vision would come to help some to better see what was going on if need be.
The dark rituals similar to the unnatural purity which Yukan had seen, it was all rather disturbing, this Coldclaw person had been led astray in their pursuit for power, the more which Yukan saw only further confirmed this. There was some sense of the magic which radiated throughout the space. Even Yukan who wasn't very familiar with magic could undoubtedly feel the presence of the powerful magic, and how the room almost felt strangely aware of them entering it.
The altar was concerning as well to say the least, like it was set up for some kind of offering involving some kind of ornate dagger. Yukan also had a strong feeling that the book couldn’t be great news which was on the altar.
Yukan glanced around the room carefully when there was uncertainty if there were others there, but that seemed pretty unlikely at this point, perhaps illusions and or echoes of the past.
Despite all of this as they moved even farther through the chamber Dominus Coldclaw’s presence was made known to the Tanuki. Yukan was quite wary of this opponent, he had heard she had the potential of being quite powerful. Nevertheless of this hostile environment the one before him, Yukan’s Koyake clan Sashimono still was held high on his back now that he could call himself a proper member.
He was a bit surprised to see Zephyr interact with Coldclaw, but nevertheless he listened to the exchange which took place in common, not exactly expecting how calm Coldclaw was, since they had made it to the ‘heart’ so to speak.
Despite the tension, the Koyake clan member could tell that Dominus Coldclaw had already probably gone too far to be redeemable. In slaying this person through war, slaves would be freed and the torturous activity would stop.
After she told them to submit or see powers beyond their wildest imaginings Yukan was ready to act.
“I can assure you, Dominus Coldclaw it is a slippery slope to the underworld below. I doubt that your family members would approve of the fact that you’ve afflicted to many, what was done to them.”
He said appealing to the Personal Vendetta.
"Especially in the pursuit of something which sounds like the raving of someone who believes themselves worthy of ascending..”
“I have heard enough, I will no longer allow you to forge a ladder made of the bones of those around you as you descend deeper and deeper after what is forbidden.”
“My Yari will be your final Harae!” Yukan exclaimed,
A similar somewhat primal look after his spear had entered the pyromaniac took hold once again, as he rushed forward until he was within 8 ft away of Coldclaw with intent to inflict a Transcendent Transpierce, his Yari gleaming even in the darkness some with the force and intention he put behind the attack.
Actions:
- Attempt to use Personal Vendetta knowledge to advantage to throw Coldclaw off her game.
- Move as many ft needed until within 8 ft of Coldclaw
- Attempt to strike with the ability [Specialize] Fighting Style [Falling Spear] Transcendent Transpierce - Reach F, Penetrating D, D Grade Ability - 2 round cooldown. Yukan attempts to stab his target up to 10 ft away with a great penetrating force ignoring up to three grades of opponent's defensively used item.
