"We should warn people ... he attacked us for no reason, he's dangerous to everyone." Agitated, she coughed blood.

"I do not think we could keep it hidden even if we wanted to. But you're not wrong that others need to be aware of the danger."

"I saw... a thing that looked like me, in a dream last night," Ayako said weakly. "Or was it a dream? I'm ... I'm not really sure any more. But it looked like me, and it was evil ." "There was at least one demon prowling last night though it did not look like you, nor me nor Shinsei, but something ...

Damnit, she wouldn't be able to do much for this poor guy. Removing his armor would be bad, but she removed her outer layer of clothing to tie around him firmly as a temporary support. It wasn't much, but it could help stabilise him to be moved. Even if she still had her trousers and inner-layer on...

Sugri helps steady the Crab after helping her to her feet, "It is real. You did well - the enemy has fled."

Sugri sighs and runs a hand through windswept hair.

Ominous shrine of impenetrable darkness even as the sun approaches her zenith....

"Yeah, that tracks." He mutters to himself.

I assume the arrows that hit Shinsei are non-recoverable. Is the one that missed able to be recovered?

The bestial curse within him demanded that he hunt, that he kill, but he held on to his true self. Still, he did allow that instinct to focus on the trail of the fleeing monk. If the time did come to hunt he at least had the scent. After Satsuki's magic had done its work Sugri checks on the Crab to ...

The archer took a shot, the arrow finding its mark in the mad monk.

My turn to grab some sleep. Left ghosting instructions in PF but I'll leave them here with permission for other players involved to ghost Sugri if needed. If Ayako is still up spend a VP for +1k1 turning attack to 10k6 and make 2 raises for damage (5k3 base + 2k0 from raises) now that Matsu's aura h...

"He falters, Ayako, you do not." Sugri's arrow punctuates his words, once more finding purchase on the mad monk if not as deeply as before.

Unfortunately Sugri's next arrow goes wide.

(Because of course it does Sakkaku... of course....

On the plus side if we do get Shinsei back to his senses we don't need to worry about Sugri trying to kill him anyway.

Sugri's nostrils flare as the scent of his prey's blood reaches him. A deep, rumbling growl seems to resonate within his chest for a moment before he once more finds his center and the peace it brings even among chaos.

(D4, EM: Willpower vs Curse | 3k3 ⇒ 17 (TN: 15))

"Wake or kill your dream!" Sugri's words are backed by a wide headed arrow slicing into the monk. If words didn't wake the true spirit maybe pain would.

Also... that feeling when your charatcer's relationships with three of the characters in a highly dangerous combat thread (one of whom is in the bad guy seat for the duration) are going to color the rest of your day

Awww, Sora, I never knew you cared! /jk

I doubt my action influences theirs or vice versa so it should be fine. If there is an issue then mea culpa that's on me.

Annnnd I just realized Matsu didn't go yet. My bad. Was just looking for Satsuki going.

I have no qualms with that if GM approves.

It clearly wasn't just some waking nightmare that the monk was experiencing but either possession or corruption his continued assault proves that. While he originally considered tackling the man after witnessing his skill against Matsu he knew that his odds were not likely. He would need to rely on ...

Only a 1 in 3 chance to grapple anyway if I don't tech up first so stringing the bow it shall be. Poor no SA attacks until Rank 4 schools....
