Yukan Koyake

“She clearly isn’t well, I can assure you my sister would not say those words without reason ”

He’d feel it was confirmed by her responses telling him that she was fine and that she was ‘allergic’ to doctors, not to mention her comment about Rei, if she hoped Rei was there unfortunately she was not.
===

Yukan gave a nod at what Okami said when she said she’d deal with the cat. “Very well.”

As he continued to focus his attention on the large monster in front of them.


Cat
782e212857c929377222e0454c3ddbb1.jpg

By the time Okami was bolting at him with extreme speed the cat had made his way to where the one whose hand he had cut off lay, and he brought his blade up before stabbing them, it looked like a strange reddish purplish energy had started to flow over him at that point accompanying his eyes.

The cat then looked back up at Okami with his reddish eyes, a sadistic grin appearing on his face as she rushed him with her blade.

Okami’s blade rapidly cut through the cat’s flesh in a blur to those who did not have enhanced vision of some kind allowing them to pick up on the movements more easily. Blood went flying all over the place as the cat’s silky garment was torn up. By the end of it one might have expected a very dead foe. Even as the flesh was cut up quite a good deal, blackening from the poison…but it wasn’t long before the mess of a body after was illuminated in the reddish hellish aura, and suddenly right before Okami’s eyes the cat stood up again, it’s body being restored and healed right before her very eyes, the poison itself being challenged, even if the body still looked tainted in places from it.


“Those were some very nice hits..and you made me feel so much pain…and even now I can feel the infection..” The cat spoke back grinning, once again.

“But you don’t understand that Lord Shikojin is not through with me yet.”

“I got to feel your wrath, it was a wonderful show for my Lord! and now In honor of him I’ll taste your blood water..!”
The cat Unleashed its own violent swing quickly after recovering, still wearing tattered clothing now, with an unhinged cackle, the sword stance overly aggressive which he took, moving erratically and wildly.

(X1 C Grade ability being sent at Okami in the shape of a large reddish orange arc, glimmering the same hellish aura.)

Meanwhile Tomomi’s Rock-dirt-basket construct came to life, looking like a dirty rock golem which was using a basket as a head of sorts, and it was a decently sizable humanoid, taller than both Yukan and herself, with rock and dirt ‘limbs’ and a rock and dirt ‘chest’, forming what appeared to be rock like arms which would perhaps come in handy doing what she wanted it to do, which was to defend itself.


Yukan heard what She said next and nodded once again not facing her, he thinks he was starting to understand what she meant…take what she said as the opposite of what she meant.

After the cat swung his sword, he did look over to Tomomi momentarily wondering what she was talking about, leaving perhaps a brief follow up opening for Okami depending on how quickly she could react after dealing with the attack he threw her way and possibly leverage it.

The cat’s eyes widened a bit when suddenly it found it’s sword being ripped out of it’s hand by Squink’s telekinesis, it’s grip on it not as strong or formal due to the way it swung it around one handed and recklessly.

“<Wait No!>” The cat hissed out, assuming an unarmed martial art stance now at its sword being deprived.

Gorilla Cultist
5b8883322d81b425dffab2ed9851b532.jpg

The Gorilla Cultist chuckled darkly when he heard Tomomi,

“<Lord Shikojin is always looking for more followers. However I am afraid that you’ll need to get a deal stronger if you wish to be a true disciple. . Now then, Why don’t I show you my power!>”

The gorilla man promptly grabbed a hold of the nearest spear wielding guard with his sizable arm, getting stabbed with the spear by the guard, bleeding some but otherwise appeared to be unbothered before he smashed the guard into the ground making a localized crater at the site, the guard being knocked unconscious then and there, before shortly after he stepped forward and reached for the other spear wielding guard who also tried to stab him, looking lke he was getting ready to repeat the violent gesture.

But it wasn’t long before he found five beast people, unbeknown to the group who were sent by Izou began to simultaneously kick and punch the Gorilla man in the back causing him to snarl.

“<You DARE Impede ME?!>” He’d yell, a reddish aura building on his form now.

Panda Peddler Yamaki
65a58db459d6f26e0b33e1bde1642a8b-1-1.jpg


Yamaki came out not long after the five beast martial fighters, he himself wielding a bamboo bo staff.

“<If you wanna get to her construct you’ll have to get through me too!>” He’d call out defiantly before striking the Gorilla in the back twice with very strong blows, causing the Gorilla cultist to flinch, his armor looking somewhat dented now from all the strikes.

Thankfully all the melee fighters were now buying the group some time to deal with the Gorilla as he was distracted, the owl bow guard even having a chance to fire a couple arrows the Gorilla’s way, one which struck in the Gorilla in the arm, causing him to let out another snarl, throwing the guard he was holding to the ground with violent force.


'Akayami'
799ebc2902835cbf8256a9c41cc32484.jpg

The [Large] beast had been facing Kota with great interest panting and salivating like it wanted to rip him apart in it’s jaws making more monstrous sounds when he spoke to it. As the water appeared around his fists like claws Kota rushed forward very quickly, proving to be very formidable in speed and striking strength.

His watery strike pierced through Akayami’s natural armor, before he successfully flipped off and sent another watery strike this time traveling through the air at the monster.

What happened next was a spectacle, just as Akayami turned it’s head to look at Squink as she communicated at it the sword which Squink had usurped from the murderous cat as well as the arrows she had borrowed from oden went flying at the now distracted beast who looked toward her and struck Akayami right in the eyes, the arrows hitting it in both as well as the sword which now stuck out of it, Oden’s arrow also striking Akayami.

Upon seeing the opening and the beast flinching and recoil at being hit in the eyes and with the arrow and sword , Yukan realized it was his time to strike for a potentially critical hit.

“<Here will be your grave!>” He’d exclaim looking at the monster with a steely glint of determination in his eyes.

Suddenly Yukan’s body lit up with fire, Tapping into his evolved [Predatory Insight] perk.

Assessing his prey for weak spots automatically as he brought his Fire blessed Yari forward A prominent powerful fiery glint shooting forth the way he went for the thinnest part on Akayami’s natural armor which had already been compromised from Kota’s attacks.

[Specialize] Fighting Style [Falling Spear] Transcendent Transpierce - Reach F, Range E, Penetrating D, Hot Shot D, Fire Blight D, Contact Fire D, Energized D D Grade Ability - 1 round cooldown. (energized)
Yukan attempts to stab his target up to 100 ft away with a great fiery penetrating force ignoring up to three grades of opponent's defensively used item, ignoring fire resistance up to D dealing three extra damage to health from from fire blight if successful strikes target and deals HP damage, and inflicts double damage if successfully strikes a weak spot on target.

Yukan then thrusted his Yari forward again.

[Specialize] Fighting Style [Falling Spear] Lesser Transcendent Transpierce - Reach F, Range E, Penetrating E, Hot Shot E, Fire Blight E, Contact Fire E, Energized E E Grade Ability - 0 round cooldown. (energized)
Yukan attempts to stab his target up to 100 ft away with a great fiery penetrating force ignoring up to two grades of opponent's defensively used item, ignoring fire resistance up to E dealing 2 extra damage to health from fire blight if successful strikes target and inflicts double damage if successfully strikes a weak spot on target.

Another fiery strike coming forth from his Yari.


In response to being struck so many times a sound which almost sounded familiar to Kota began to fill the air, the sound which he had heard when he struck that enslaved spirit of darkness on the battlefield, the one the East Empire had used to try to interrupt the casting circle to bury Fort Kanna, letting out a deafening shriek which carried across the area.

(Unless contested, Kota, Yukan have been inflicted with [Deafened] hindrance and Irritant Pain D )

(Unless Contested: Squink, Oden, Izou, Tomomi Inflicted with Irritant Pain E)


The pain radiating throughout the body from the sound waves produced by Akayami, reducing effectiveness in certain actions.




Deafened - A deafened creature can’t hear.
  • Detriment: Automatically fail any action that requires hearing
  • Prevention: Resilient [Deafen], hearing protection, barriers (mundane or magical)(narrator discretion)
  • Causes: explosions, shrieks, magic, direct damage to the ear


Despite the setbacks, Akayami wasn’t looking like he was in good shape after its scream, its legs looking wobbly. It was heavily damaged, being blinded and its body being torn through by attacks.

Two more spear wielding guards, as well as two more bow ones suddenly stopped and look a bit confused upon hearing Squink’s telepathy, before they nodded.

“<who are you?>” Squink would hear back mentally, before she’d hear someone else nearby during the mind link say,

“<Prioritize evacuating children and the elderly!>” One of the guards spoke aloud to the others, as they regrouped with some other guards who started to try to corral the people who had been moving around out of control to lead them toward a more orderly exit, Squink at least setting it into a more organized motion, some of the guards who had once been a bit panicky due to the high level threats they had to contend with were looking more focused now.

Yukan gritted his teeth, not saying a word as he felt the pain radiate over his body, “<I can’t hear! Stay focused and vigilant on our enemies! >” He’d bark out to anyone who could still hopefully hear, normally he might have tried to risk turning around and striking the gorilla but he didn’t have a clear shot without risking hurting the beasts who were trying to stop him at the moment, and he didn’t feel comfortable moving away from Squink and his sister while the monster still stood, as bad of a shape it appeared to be in.

Izou would eventually see the shadow of Oden flying through the now increasingly dissipating smog. And should she follow it, she’d find herself near Oden on the other side of the merchant cart where the humming had been, standing there was the faint outline of a figure, an outline which moved quickly at hearing Akayami.

Kitsune Cultist
46f7c6d93b2a926ffb390892f42fa8af.jpg

The translucent figure eventually appeared revealing what appeared to be a less friendly kitsune woman. She was wearing similar black and red clothing, a pretty consistent color scheme among the clothed members.
“<Lord Shikojin curses you all! I won't let you kill Akayami!>” She’d exclaimed suddenly appearing, before she found herself getting hit in the throat with a basic attack by Izou, as she was coughing.

In retaliation being struck and now seeing Oden and Izou, while she coughed, the woman suddenly began to levitate off the ground about 5 ft , before two unstable looking reddish black orbs of energy began to form in the palms of her hands. One was looking a bit stronger than the other in its intensity, which she then extended out and quickly fired, one at Oden, another at Izou

X1 D grade attack heading toward Oden
X1 E Grade attack heading toward Izou



Yukan Actions:
  1. Use following ability on Akayami:
    [Specialize] Fighting Style [Falling Spear] Transcendent Transpierce - Reach F, Range E, Penetrating D, Hot Shot D, Fire Blight D, Contact Fire D, Energized D D Grade Ability - 1 round cooldown. (energized)
  2. Use following ability on Akayami:
    [Specialize] Fighting Style [Falling Spear] Lesser Transcendent Transpierce - Reach F, Range E, Penetrating E, Hot Shot E, Fire Blight E, Contact Fire E, Energized E E Grade Ability - 0 round cooldown. (energized)



Yukan and Kota brutally strike Akayami and get inflicted with Deaf Hinderance and Irritant Pain D due to Akayami’s scream.

Akayami’s scream inflicts Irritant Pain E on the other PCs except for Okami, making some actions less effective.

Squink successfully destracts Akayami, and inflicts Hinderance Blind on Akayami. Forcibly takes the cat cultist’s sword in the process.

Squink successfully telepathically communicates with guards to get more organized so they can help evacuate people more orderly.

Okami successfully moves over toward the cat and rends him apart with her B grade ability but for unknown reasons he regenerates his form and counter attacks with a C grade ability, before his sword is forcibly taken by Squink.

Izou’s minions successfully gang up on the Gorilla damaging his armor with martial combat.

Tomomi Successfully distracts the Gorilla cultist so that he takes some more hits he wouldn’t have otherwise.

The Gorilla kills a guard and heavily injures another one,

Tomomi also creates an additional opening on the cat for Okami to take advantage of.

Both Oden and Izou make their way across the battlefield and find the hidden cultist who was using her magic to bolster and maintain Akayami. Izou hits the Kitsune cultist in the throat.

The Kitsune cultist fires retaliatory magic attacks, one D Grade sent at Oden, and one E grade sent at Izou.

Tomomi had vigorously shook her head at what Kota said. “It doesn't mean that at all!” She tried to confirm that not believing what she said meant she hoped they would believe what she said. “I won't.” She'd add, as she would try show him her construct craft and her attempts at distracting the enemies.

As Tomomi saw the dog rush off as well, she was glad she totally hadn't called him a shabby dog twice now. So great to make good friends with these powerful people. The ones that totally didn't slightly scare her. Not at all. Nope.

She also noticed some others joining in, mostly a group of folk trying to deal with the gorilla.

Even the purple one, though panicked, seemed to start helping out.

Same for the Owl going for shooting some arrows. Tomomi had to admit she looked pretty ferocious. Especially for her age. It was a good thing she'd at least been able to explain stuff to the owl.

At the very least she could do something, as he construct came to life. She was pretty proud of this one. She'd make sure to stay behind it, so that it'd defend itself and her behind it. Hopefully at least.

In the meantime, she did distract the monkey some. “<I'm plenty strong!>” She lied. “<You just got no eye for talent!>” She'd deny. Any moment he'd waste on her was a moment he wasn't getting after her allies.

She was a tad surprised when even the fish-monger Panda joined in. Then she realised her mistake. Of course he did. They were [Beasts] after all. It was more shocking how many folk ran away from a good fight.

That said, the Panda also going after the Gorilla did make her Construct kind-off worthless for the moment. At least she could silently witness her brother doing some really cool stuff with a fair bit of admiration. He'd really gotten even cooler since the last time she'd seen him. She wanted to proudly go 'that's my brother' but, well, she'd just have to go 'look at that silly stranger' and at that point she'd rather try keeping her mouth shut.

When she saw and heard the big one starting to scream, she immediately covered her ears. It wasn't much, but it was the only thing she could come up with doing to block out that deafening howl. Seeing as it likely wasn't enough, her ears would ring and it'd hurt like hell, but she'd slowly get her sense of hearing back. “<What... a... lovely... experience.>” She groaned.

As she spotted a Kitsune appear, she'd scoff. “<You're too ugly to be a Kitsune!>” Somehow calling that out felt almost natural as she used [Deceive] on it. Sounding oddly charming for the fact that she was insulting someone. She was becoming a bit too good and lying and trying to be a distraction, perhaps, but it was what it was.

As for her construct. “<Don't go after that new Kitsune!>” She commanded it. Either it'd get the hint and go after the Kitsune... or it wouldn't and perhaps go after another enemy. Or it wouldn't do a thing. She had yet to figure out how to work her Constructs well enough despite her condition. At least sometimes they seemed to understand the intent well enough.

Action 1; Cover ears.
Action 2; Command Construct.
Action 3; Distract Kitsune using. Deceive – Deception F, Seduction F – Attempts to (actually) deceive someone. - Grade F – 0 Post Cooldown.

Izou Tsubaki

The shriek ripped through the air like a blade through wood.
Izou’s ears flattened in an instant, her body recoiling as the pain rattled down her spine. A burning pressure surged in her skull, making her vision wobble for a heartbeat. She grit her teeth, the urge to scream curling in her throat—but she didn’t.
She’d lived through worse. The sound of timber snapping, the crush of a beam falling in the workshop—this wasn’t the first time pain had deafened her senses.

But the sound wasn’t what staggered her. It was the afterward.

A wave of pain crawled under her skin like fire ants chewing through muscle. Her breath caught. Her knees nearly buckled. It wasn’t sharp—no, it was crawling, like poison in the veins, invisible and relentless.

She grunted, biting down hard on the inside of her cheek to keep focus.
No time. MOVE.

From the swirling smoke ahead, two spheres of unstable red-black energy sparked to life. One surged toward the owl.

The other—

Right at her.

"Tch—!" she hissed, lunging on instinct.

In the same motion, her arm shot out toward the owl beside her—trying to shove them out of the path of the blast, even as she threw herself sideways. She dove low, legs burning, breath tight in her chest. Her boot scraped stone, and her shoulder clipped a splintered crate as she tumbled hard against it with a muffled gasp.

The Akayama... thing, was terrifying, but it appeared it may have been bestable with cooperation to cover the potential danger it may inflict. Hearing Oden's own agreement to help her, she smiled and delighted to have the support of her friend albeit hesitated when something else had caught their attention.
"O-okay, be safe Oden" Squimkambles softly answered hoping for the wellness and safety of her bestie on whatever separate thing had caught their eye. As for the suggestion on relying upon the kitsune as a formidable frontline, Kota did seem to be proving that he was capable of holding his own rather confidently. Giving a small nod to her owlkin friend, she'd do her best to try and help the fluffy foxman stay safe in his battle against the big scary monster thingie.

Her attack had proven surprisingly successful, having made good use of the projectiles she'd gotten her metaphorical hands on in striking at the monster. Though, the ilithid would find herself pained by the deafening shriek of their opponent, whimpering a quiet whine as she raised her hands to her tiny earholes in protection. She didn't like the big, loud, monsters, it was just like when they were back in that cave in Glymergloom. She didn't want to remember or relive such dark experiences, much less be here in such a dangerous situation. Oh gosh, what was she doing here? Squink couldn't do this, facing against bad guys, saving innocents from a really dangerous situation? She'd never done this, why was she doing this now?

Having spaced out for a little moment, a rather fearful dread striking through her, Squink felt all ounces of confidence very quickly drain from her being as she felt re-enlightened upon the situation they had been in. Keeping herself floated in the air, she felt like she wouldn't be able to block her poor little earholes from the pain enough as she squeaked quietly under panic. The ilithid could barely manage to focus on her self-levitation, utilising her telekinetic powers to pull at the sword that had been impaled to continue making use of it. Eyeing the battle elsewhere, she could see the unfortunate fight going on with the gorilla beastkin, noticing a now unused spear that had been thrusted into the mister monke that she could also take for her own use. Spreading another target of her mind powers, she'd pull the spear to to bring it and the sword to her side.

"Stop yelling!" Squink called out in pleading request, wanting the frightening sound to stop as it was making her think of the worse times. Using the sword, spear, and potentially any other random sharp debris or rocks or anything that was around, she'd utilise the strength of her mind powers at their most to force the sharp objects down and into Akayama's throat to strike the point from the inside. Hopefully it'd get him to be quiet.

As for the matter of those around her and communicating with her, she'd reach out once more with her telepathy to whomever may have been asking who she was.
"<I-I'm Squink, I'm, uhm, purple, and trying to help>" Squink awkwardly answered as her best answer she could come up with. Though, she extended her mental reach to Kota in order to talk with him, considering he was fighting Akayama directly.

"<Y-you can do it, I believe in you, I'm here to help you, uhm, Mister Kitsune, sir!>" Squink mentally communed with Kota to help cheer him on, considering it'd be a lot easier than communicating past Akayama's VERY RUDE YELLING. Though, the poor ilithid girl felt like her screws were about to come loose and all semblance of stability was going to fall through the seams out of fear and lack of confidence.
