>"They knew practices of Ninjutsu that were on the degree of magic*"

Further detail about the clans...

Oni Clan:

Members of the Oni clain train rigorously in practice of the blade and arts of the earth. When they have reached a passable level, the head of the Oni clan signs them onto the pact with the Oni. This allows them to tap into otherworldy secrets, and go into various stages of demonic transformation.
The Oni leader, (Currently the Headmistress) lives until they are slain or answer the terms of their pact.
Once the leader unleashes their full Oni power, they must officially become the new guardian of hell. Members of the clan lose their Oni transformation until one of them enter Hell and slay the previous leader. Due to this, the leader must answer calls to Hell's defense whenever they are needed, even in life.

Ash clan:

Not much is known about the ash clan, even in their own village. They keep their techniques carefully guarded secrets.
What is known however, is that they are able to mend nearly any wound with their specially prepared ash, and that they specialize in crematory fire techniques as well as temporary resurrection of guardians that have pledged themselves to the ash. By using the ashes of these heroes, along with their own spiritual power, they give these guardians shape and form. However, the energy for any technique a guardian performs is provided by their summoner. Because of this, it is supposed that the ash clans have naturally high amounts of spiritual power.

Bird Clan:

They are the first to strike in times of war, and the most mobile of the Mirage.
When they are young, they are given an egg that feeds off of their spiritual energies and forms an inseparable bond.
Depending on the user's latent potential, the resulting familiar changes. The Head of this clan has a condor... The resident sage, has a phoenix.
With the bond they share with their familiars, they can communicate from any distance, and even give each other half of their form. Resulting in enemies seeing transformed members of the bird clan as two mirrored garudas.
Their flame techniques are legendary in that they rain fire against their enemies, however they are also known to make good use of Wind and lightning.

Light and Shadow clan.

This clan's higher techniques are the solidification of their illusions to create real harm. Though, they do not stop short at that.
With skill in sickle and chain, they learn many practical techniques for striking their opponents while hiding behind superficial illusions.
Word has it that they're working on even more clever and deceptive techniques.
They work in the shadows and bend the light.
They claim that they are the true assassins of the mirage.

Lightning Clan:

This prodigious clan has trained extensively to master the arts of lightning and thunder.
Their bodies naturally produce electric charge however, giving them little need to expend their spiritual energy when it comes to direct attacks.
Many residents of this clan are known for their adaptibility to various situations, however their natural abilities have the side effect of producing madness among their ranks.
The head of this clan is known as "Grandfather."
Grandfather has been in his lab for quite some time, working on things that make very strange noises...
The rest of the clan tries not to give him ideas for his experiments however... Last time they wanted to research turning Lead into gold.. the next week, Grandfather had turned all their gold to lead...

>>22322924
shadow light seams the most ninja of all clans to me .
and the best for the to two choices to live I think is desert even though I know at some point some one will type it dessert and get made fun of probable me :(

Rising from the stone temple that is the quarters of the ash, our hero grabs his belt of ash satchels. The one laying on his right hip being his guardian pouch. What clan was this guardian from again? He just received them yesterday...
>A) Light/Shadow
>B) Oni
>C) Lightning
>D) Bird

Getting ready for his first day as a graduated member of the ash clan, he realizes that he needs to meet his team for his first mission outside of the village.
Entering the civil center of the village for his team arrangement, he is paired with two other nin and a squad master...
(roll 1d20 for identifying his squad mates. Highest roll determines!)

>>22323270
As our hero waits to be paired with his future teammates he slaps his head as he remembers his guardian's clan. Light and Shadow, Empori the Trap.. "That's right. I've read about my guardian... He often used his ability to disguise himself as a courtesan, and when the target let down their guard, he'd kill them and disappear by shedding his illusion. Empori... I wonder how he'll do if it comes to real combat?" He ponders to himself as his name is called. along with Orime, an oni girl wearing a short battle kimono with a pauldron on her shoulder. Oni clan members never really did care much for protection due to their demonic flesh... However I know that's far less rambunctious than the rest of her clan, and Kuro, a bird clan guy that's often conspiring with his familiar, a Crow. The bird is on his shoulder as they line up togethe.. However the leader of this squad.. is a lightning clan member that looks like he's taken a few too many jolts to his head... short hair standing on end, he snickers to himself as his team is assembled and he takes us off to the training fields...

Once there, he declares that their mission is tomorrow, in the night of the day... wait.. what?
Today we'll be working on taking him down. With the difference in skill, he authorizes lethal force.

Looking over to Orime and Kuro. It seems that they both have their own ideas with how this should go down.
Our Lightning leader starts mouthing out some tune about a ladybug...
Without really communicating, Kuro breathes out a torrent of flames in conjuction with his crow as Orime advances with her blade drawn. When the flames die down, our leader is gone and a lightning bolt stuns the two featherbrains. Orime is almost electrocuted just the same, though she reacts by forcing out a hardened wall of sand to separate herself from our teacher. Dumbfounded, the hero stares in disbelief before thinking to release his guardian. Feeling the drain on his large reservoir as Empori forms, he/she smiles and quickly makes seals to hide us before our teacher gets at them as well.
Birdbrain is down, and Orime is falling back to our hero in defense.

With the cover that Empori can provide, our Hero, in a half-suave manner says to Orime,"Keep your eyes open, and hopefully on me."
Her mouth twists into a "what is that even about?" expression as he runs off with Empori using energy to throw off his form. He makes it to Kuro and his crow that've both been taking out with electricity. Spilling ash over them to cast his restoration art, he makes the final seal seal to initiate it as the thunderous shadow of their teacher appears behind him, just as Orime brings her blade to him. The form scatters into electricity and their teacher is seen standing upon a rock clapping, with a charge between his fingers. Kuro comes to, and then our hero realizes that their teacher is actually preparing to throw a chain lightning blast.

Not wanting to leave this up to the Oni, our Hero grabs three pouches of ash from his belt, leaving 5 left. He throws them into the air and makes the seal to form them into no less than 6 clones that form a shield for them just as the teacher discharges his technique, destroying them all, though the ash insulates the charge from us.
From afar he says,"That's a nice trick, but the sand's all lit up now!" Making a seal, lightning erupts from the mix of sand and ash, it would've hit our hero, if not for Orime taking the shock with her blade. She drops to a knee before rising again, her skin darkening into a deep violet red.
"I'm sick of this man. I'm sick of this lightning." she hrowls, her voice deep and husky with her transformation, a small horn creeping from her forhead as her lower canines elongate. He katana's become a Kanabo.
Kuro rises with his bird finally. Alert and ready for combat. He laughs off the great shock and looks to our hero for some kind of instruction. Empori dispells "her" illusion that had surrounded us, it did little good with the sand.

With Orime taking up her Oni form, she's ready to rumble, lightning or no. Kuro, seems to realize that he's not the primary star with Orime expressing her oppressive power.
Our hero nods to them and Starts in first, despite his lack of physical training, Orime following behind. Sensei lightning disappears from his rock and is about to close an electrified grip around our hero's neck, but a kanabo smashes down the lightning double. Empori distorts the image of Kuro and replicates him in the wrong area enough so that Sensei's true attack to him is avoided and he can retaliate with his fan of fire technique, his flames a steady yellow with green centers.
Sensei is marked for the first time, as he flashes away, only to be met with a fast and furious kanabo aimed for his spin. His skill allows him to absorb a portion of the blow and roll it off, but he ends up in front of our hero with a cremation flame inches from his head.
- - -
With Sensei's teamwork training completed he sits the team down and congratulates them on an excellent performance," Excellent, you did an excellent job my students! With a combined effort, you can take out someone a rank higher than yourselves! If I was serious, you'd all be dead. All of you.. Dead..." He re-emphasizes that dead part...
"Yeah well, if bird brain didn't make me lose sight of you at the start, I could've locked you up!"
Kuro rolls his eyes," Yeah, yeah tits. You're an oni. Scared of a bit of flame?"

How does our hero respond to this?

Heiler puts a palm to his face as he sees this is clearly off to a poor start. Working it out in his head, he tells the other two to shut their faces and he begins to run through the fight.
"Yes, we all would've died if Sensei Eddie had been serious in the start. But we did pull through with it right? I mean.. I managed to fix up Kuro despite the attack while Orime and Empori covered me... And we managed to get him in the end... What's the point in arguing?"

Orime growls a bit and thinks about the whole situation. "Yes, You're right, it's something to work on. That flame-wind is dangerous though. Makes us lose sight as well as keeping us from our enemies.. maybe with better positioning..."
Kuro chuckles to himself, "Yeah, better positioning.. sorry I wasn't aiming for your tits.. Hard to hit those mosquito bi-" Kuro iis smashed in the face by the fist of Orime. His face his broken and another pouch of healing ash is used...
Sensei Eddie mumbles something about the night of day and how there aren't any tits that are mosquito bites...
"Ah, The mission is for tonight!"
The sun is hanging in the western horizon... the team is tired, sensei is crazy, and they're on a mission.

With Kuro's fix faced up to "perfection" as he remembers it, Heiler departs to the ash barracks to refill his pouches of healing Ash, resulting in a total of 9, and the 10th being his guardian ash.
While there, he runs into the hooded and robed head of the clan. from her black robes and veils, he notices a smile.
"Young one of the Ashen arts. The life of your squad is in your hands. You should know, for such missions you are permitted a second belt of ash, though you lack the skill for a second guardian." As she heads off, I notice that there are 5 belts of pouches on her person... Heiler knows each one has at least 1 guardian pouch.

Rejoining his squad, Orime has donned a more suitable kimono for her Oni form, and a larger shoulder piece.
Kuro and his Crow have both already assumed their half-forms, looking like twin creatures and both carrying a long spear.
Sensei Eddie wears his usual attire, though it seems he's donned golden gauntlets... better to conduct his power.
Orime is silent as her clan knows what war and hell is..
Kuro is chattering off about something with his bird.
Sensei eddie asks if we're all ready. We all sober up and nod. Orime draws her sword, flames gathering as it reverts to a kanabo.
Smashing it into the ground, she summons a gate through the underworld with a carriage in waiting. As a daughter of the headmistress, she explains that she has access to the Hell's wheel carriage.
Entering the gate and boarding the living carriage, it starts off and Heiler notices he sits opposite to Orime. There are screams all around them outside of the carriage as it seems to move faster than anything should..."

Just a thought, but could you possibly make the perspective a bit more easy to understand? Most quests refer to the MC as 'you', ex: You decide to summon your ash familiar. Instead, you're using 'he', but at random points you use 'we' or 'I' even when it isn't dialogue, it's really fucking with my brain. A quick way to fix this would be to just refer to Heiler as 'you', as if we're him, since you know, we're controlling him.

Pity we didn't choose lightning, we could have gotten our nickname as Hei and been Chinese Electric Batman. We can still pull if off with the mask and being a trap, I guess.

>>22325797
>>22325795

Turning his attention away from Orime's bosom, Heiler begins to ask Sensei for a debriefing of the situation, being an A rank quest after all. He's surprisingly sane for it...
"There have been disputes with the Land of the Fox for some time. From what the Light and Shadow have gathered, there are ninja from the Kitsune clan that have gotten involved with the rising struggle for farmlands. It's turned into a small war with the Kitsune clan siding with the local people that want independence from their lord. We've been contracted by the lord to solve this dispute by any means necessary.
Drive out the Kitsune that support the militia, or eradicate the leaders that have rallied the people. It's certainly going to be hard work. There's like to be at least one of seven tails among them. If there were 9 tails, we'd likely have a sage joining us. We'll be meeting the Headmistress of the Oni clan once we're there. We'll be with the lord's army.

As for the Kitsune, we must be wary of their trickery. They love playing games with the mind, and are powerful wielders of fire and lightning. There should be a saying about that... Fight fire with fire? Heh.. I'll have to write that down..."

So it seems we're in for a difficult battle. Orime seems to smile as she enjoys the sounds of Hell. Kuro begins to freak out quite a bit and he and his crow shriek as the Hellcarriage hits a "bump" with a sickening crunch... They'll be at the battle soon.

>A) Hit on Orime. (roll)

That does bring up a good question, which rolls do you choose? Do you take the highest or the first or what?

>>22326076
lets total not do that

guise, why are you all trying to get into the first girl's pants?

We've gotta meet all the potential partners, before we get too invested in one. What if we find a yandere light/shadow girl who uses her illusions to assassinate any competitors? I know I want one of those.

>>22326152
Being better than the daughter of a headmistress who can open a portal to hell?
Alright...

>>22326172
But she could become the next headmistress, and have to go to hell like all the demon leader thingies. Then someone will have to kill her when they get strong enough, and stuff, I really don't understand much about this setting.

>>22326200
Dude, we can always just hit on more bitties later anyway

>>22326241
Waiting years for her to get stronger than her mom is too much of an investment for me if we're only in it for the dickings. I'll just keep my opinion.

>>22326200

That's true.. and something about the Oni pact. If we'd chosen Oni clan, we'd know more about it.
They're really humans.. however the first leader of the clan found himself in hell and killed the guardian in fighting his way out. The king of hell, Enma, granted him his freedom due to his strength, however the shackles of hell remained upon him. He lived until he had to return, however he brought others into the pact to lessen his own curse and make more eligible guardians of hell.

It's all related to japanese mythos and the like.

>>22326241
And yes, we can get into it later.

>>22326076

You smile at Orime as she revels in the screams of hell. She really seems as relaxed as someone listening to a desert rain, or the blow of the wind. And you find her slightly darkened skin of her nature rather attractive.. and her breasts... She must not be wearing a brassiere as they seem to fill out her loose kimono very well.
"The way the fires of hell play off of your red hair is very... Well... enchanting. Your chest is so powerful too.. I can see the might of the oni in you..."
Orime stares at you in disbelief for a moment before her cheeks take on a sudden shade of red-violet like her oni-form.
"Oh, you, you don't need to say such things..."
Kuro starts freaking out again, "No, no you don't. What's wrong with you?! I'm freaking out here man... What the hell... What the hell!"

You rather calmly and curiously open the curtain of the carriage to see outside...
Red light pours in, causing Kuro to shriek again. Once the team adjusts they can see great Oni tromping around dumping skulls into lakes of blood, lesser oni torturing the dead.. and many more horrors. Kuro closes his eyes and keeps yelling," Shut it! Shut it! Shut it!"
Orime laughs like a maniac while Sensei, who's still rather sober is only confused. He points out that it's only logical that Kuro's flipping out, Crows are known to be able to see the dead.. He's probably seen some of these people before...

The carriage stops and Orime opens the door, a lush forest on the other side with a castle-fort with pike-weilding soldiers and samurai assembled in the front along with the Scarlet-haired half-oni headmistress standing with her Demonic blade, unsheathed, and stuck in the ground.
Our team assembles and await orders from the headmistress as she's often in charge of such war-scenarios... It combines her two duties...

>A) Examine the soldiers.
>B) Summon Empori.
>C) Wait patiently.
>D) Write in.

>>22326431
>>22326438
>>22326444

You think to yourself.. the next time we take the carriage, we need blindfolds and earplugs for Kuro...
Deciding that now is a good time to truly prepare for battle, you undo the pouch that contains Empori's Ashes. You summon him to the side as the headmistress instructs that soldiers, making special note of Light and Shadow's abilities. The Mistress also instructs the men that if she falls for the kitsune's illusion, they'll have to deal with her damn near crushing their skull. They must be firm in their conviction for their lord or the kitsune will take them.
When it's time to move out. Your squad moves on ahead as the vanguard with other bruisers from the oni clan. The bird scouts, Kuro included report that there are at least fifteen kitsune with the milita... in plain sight on their own turf, rice fields and other farmland... Empori disguises the true number of the Oni clan along with the lord's men. Superficial light to make it seem that there's a horde. He chuckles about breaking the militia's nerve.

We're advancing with the vanguard. But where will our squad be located?

Identical rolls... Bonus-time

You use your link with Empori to instruct him to use a solid form of mad shadows upon meeting the militia. Though for now, He should make the lord's men and the Oni clan in the front appear large and imposing as the Great Onis from hell.

Staying at the vanguard of the group, Empori does as instructed and the militia is scattered from the brutal nature of the solid illusion, and horrified by what they're seeing. Empori successfully replicated Hell from your memories. The sheer detail of both illusions unnerves both parties of soldiers, though it makes Kuro go chicken again. The Oni headmistress roars in her perpetual half oni state as she advances. The kitsune supporters injured by Mad shadows, and scattered into the wood, the illusion truly made them lose their nerve, and the Oni clan took care of the militia leaders. Those. that surrender are spared under the lord's flag. This was a swift victory because of you and Empori, even Sensei Eddie is impressed with your tactic.

The kitsune supporters are scattered into the woods, the Headmistress personally calls you, along with Orime, her daughter to ask what they'd like to do. We've done as asked by the lord, to do more would be extra...

>A) Suggest continuing the hunt for kitsune.

>>22326981

You shake your head, thinking to yourself about the situation.. in this conflict there were more death to those that the kitsune had supported than actually kitsune clan members.

Looking to the Headmistress you say," With the kitsune scattered as is, there's not much more that should be done. We've been paid to do what we came here for. The Kitsune could be our allies in the future if it is demanded of them.
The headmistress begins to chuckle," I see, so that's how it is. You're pretty cute kid. Using your guardian to tear apart our patrons... and then speaking of mercy against the losing party. Are so many like this when it comes to the Mirage?"
What she's saying is strange... You find it very odd that she would speak as though she's not from the Mirage.. Wait...
Orime's eyes go wide as she draws her sword on what appears to be her mother.
You turn to Orime and ask her what she's doing and she glares at you." You dolt, this isn't my mother. And she's gone ahead and wagged her tongue to prove it. You are the seven tail, are you not?! Where are we? What has happened?!"

The headmistress laughs in a sensual and condescending manner as her form unravels to show a human woman with seven tails growing from her tail bone.
"Why, based on your companion's response, I'd think to let you go just as he would... Though based on you, I'd see that blade sheathed..." As she speaks, the surroundings fade away to show that we are both in the middle of the woods, various kitsune surrounding us, Empori included. They each have various numbers of tails from 2-5, their revealed number is six..." And here we are, alone under the full moon. The best time for us. You scattered our pets, yet you'd spare us... should we kill the lord's men and spare you?"

>A) Attack now( write in techs)
>B) Convince her of your intentions, dissuade from her attacking the lord's men.
>C) Leave this up to Orime.

Keeping calm, you put what charisma you have to good use, drawing a bit of tact and charm from Empori, via the connection you have with him. (Charisma bonus added, + 4 to roll.)

"With such... beauty and power, you've managed to capture the ones responsible for undoing your patrons. Though, could there be greater victory for you than survival of this ordeal? If you slay the lord's men, our comrades will be commissioned to hunt you to their heart's content. If you kill us, the same could ensue. Why deal with such a troublesome mess? Brute force would be the end of your campaign. But no... You could instead join us. With your patrons dead and scattered, you are no longer entitled. We know your clan has no village. Why not join in our might?"

The seven tail and the other kitsune consider this proposal and seem to drop the hostility.
Orime looks on in disbelief while Empori just kind of smiles.
The Seven tail finally speaks," Well, as there's not currently a ninetail alive to speak for us, I'll have the say. Boy, you are of Ash clan, no? Run this by your leader. The kitsune are willing to join the mirage... wherever it may be. We'll be... around... this wood. The lord's men can't find us. Though... neither could you..." The beautiful fox-woman throws you a wink and a blown kiss as all the kitsunes disappear into a blue flame.

Returning to the lord's castle, you find that the lord's men are in the middle of restoring order. The real headmistress asks where the Orime and you disappeared to. The two of you explain to her in detail as she grits her powerful, yet feminine jaw at what was proposed.

"You spoke for our village. The kitsune should have been hunted. We are having difficulty as it is finding them, yet now we know that they're easily right under our noses. Begone from my sight, you'll report this to the kages at once. May your rise through hell be a bumpy one.

Regrouped with the team. Sensei Eddie seems bored at the outcome... The Kitsune are truly a high threat.. If they had been intent on putting up a fight, it'd have been more eventful for him.
Kuro whistles as he's reverted back into his human form. He couldn't mind less about the battle already being over.. War is too grim for him... though he's genuinely opposed to the idea of taking the hell carriage back.
The sun begins to rise and the team realizes how tired they are...

>A) Spend the night in the lord's castle-fort.
>B) Take the Hell carriage back to the Mirage.
>C) Spend tthe night in the woods and seek out the seven tail babe.

Pulling out some cloth, you make a blindfold for kuro, and using a couple pinches of ash, you make small earplugs. Your duty as an ash clan member to heal others is not the time that you stop supporting them.
Kuro grumbles about it, but he accepts the gesture, equips the articles and holds onto his crow as it guides him.
Orime unsheathes her sword and performs the summoning of the hell carriage, the portal opens up,and the carriage parks itself in view, the interior removing the sight of hell's plain.
Eddie enters first, then yourself, and then Orime as she drags Kuro.
Once inside, the door closes and the carriage once more begins its disturbing speed and the disturbing screams begin. Kuro begins wimpering as he can still hear the screams despite the makeshift ear plugs.
You make a gentle grab for Orime's hand and she snaps away, glaring.
"Do not get so familiar with me. My mother was right, I cannot believe that you did not strike them down with me. To be part of such a shameful farce disturbs me. What's more, I'll be hearing about it later. We're on the same team, but I won't tolerate that kind of behavior in the future. Mother was right about you Ash.. Peaceful, supportive, helpful and weak. You don't even rely on your own strength!"

Well.. this comes as a surprise.. You had though the two of you may have some sort of moment.. Sensei Eddie doesn't seem to pay this situation much mind yet.. He's going on about some voice in hell being an old friend... His antics are freaking Kuro's crow out...

Yeah but now that i think about it, it would be just our luck that Orime's carriage trips or she loses concentration and we get stuck in the damned underworld and I for one am not getting turn to salt stone or whatever it is that made Odephelus screw up when he went down here.

However....If we did get lost in here and pull a Ryoga from Ranma 1/2 popping up in Hades Underworld We could say hi to our cousin Kratos and his bunch.

>>22328485

The stats give bonuses for associated rolls. So far we're working with no charisma modifier unless Empori is summoned.
Otherwise, the stats are more loosely based on the character's proficiency with a given action. If someone decided for Heiler to punch Orime in the face, he's likely make her laugh at the effort and break his face.

>>22328468

With what you had just managed to do given the situation, you find Orime's behavior absolutely insulting and ignorant. Restraining yourself from standing up in the carriage, you relax yourself and defend your actions as they were the best thing you could have done...

"Weak? With my own power, I manipulated the entire outcome of the battle!"
Orime spits, "You let the real enemy get away! And then we fell into their trap!"
"Yes, however with what Empori and I had done, we completed the mission with minimal loss. When we were trapped, I managed to convince them to not kill us and even managed to win an ally, increasing our village's numbers."

"Yes, and you made that choice for yourself, not considering that they just might want an in!"
"And what will they do, steal our secrets? Most of our techniques are so carefully guarded or unique not even our other clans can replicate them. Look, we were outnumbered, they were at the peak of their strength, and we're alive right now. We fought in the interest of our village, we won the day, and we likely gained more than we could have if we had slain them. If we had slain them, or if we managed to escape, but I got them to let us go."

Orime is silent at this point. Obviously she sees the reason in this... But just to go a bit farther, you smile at her in an almost knowing way,"Or are you angry that she blew me a kiss?"
Her eyes snap back to yours and her skin goes red-violet, heh, she's blushing... Heh, her horn is sprouting from her forhead... Uh...
Orime growls angrily," You... You have no idea!"

Just then, the carriage spins out, throwing everyone inside around. After it stops, it's lopsided...
Orime screams," Enma damnit!"
She jumps out of the carriage to see what happened. She yells," Fucking wheel's out! We'll need to ask the Oni for the souls of the damned to fix this... Or we could walk the rest of the way.

Kuro's pulled off his blindfold and earplugs by now and at hearing this he just starts freaking out," Nononononono... You're joking right? This is a joke... I'm not, no I'm NOT getting out of here..."
He's beyond himself at this point and Sensei Eddie casually electrocutes the back of his neck," Well my students, minus the one... Or two? What'll it be?"

Stepping out of the carriage yourself, you decide to see for yourself just how bad it is while Orime paces back and forth angrily, Sensei Eddie being strangely relaxed as he continues seeming to talk to someone.

Checking the wheel, you find that yes, it is indeed very broken. A whole half of it is gone, grounding the carriage. Outside of the carriage you notice that you feel some kind of weakness in yourself...
"Orime.. what.. what is this?"
Frowning, she growls out in her progessively demonizing form," That would be the miasma of hell. The living have no place here. Only the Oni clan can walk unphased. You could stay in it, however if you do, and grow too weak, your soul will belong to Enma."
With a pause, and creeping fatigue on yourself, you smile to her," Look, I'm sorry for that last bit.. It's been a long day.. We had a good first mission right? Let's... Let's get back home.
Orime's form reverts a bit as she seems to have a concerned look again. "Agreed, get back in the carriage. The miasma will wreck you. Never heard of an ash that could summon here either. This is my job."

I was thinking of a natural 20 for the success.. but this could work.
Also, summoning Empori doesn't use up a turn.

>>22329236
>>A)
"Let me help for a little bit at the least. Got to keep up the to the Ash clans habit of being supportive Right?

>>22329287
Permanently, unless we devote training to raise the max.

>>22329305
Does this work in the case we do summon Empori? Like will he become weaker?

Rolled 7

>>22329299
Forgot my roll here ya go

>>22329324
That remains to be seem.

Aside, so far I'm thinking that Empori speaks to Heiler telepathically. Should he speak to others as well(with voice that is)

Also, sorry for the random dropping of "name" Don't know what's going on with that.

And like I said, summoning doesn't use a turn, take it as a free action to pair with another.

Despite what Orime had said, you decide to put hell's influence to the test.
Grabbing your satchel of guardian ash, you make the seals to summon Empori. Once more tying his soul to his ash. Through a larger expenditure of energy for the technique, you pull it off, and Empori looks about nervously at the surroundings, wide eyed. "Why are we here? No seriously, why are we here? What's going on?"
(Ash ressurection succeeded, though it costed you three times the amount of sp to pull off.)

Heiler feels rather drained...

A
Get back in the carriage with him. Now you have someone to talk to or someshit

Kind of funny to be able to say, "Oh, well we were just driving home when our carriage broke down... In hell."

>>22329484
>>A
"Hey Empori we kind of broke down and Birdbrain is freaking out so we need another pair of hands to fix the carriage. "

Face Orime "Right what do we need to do?"

>>22329503

You look to Empori and explain the situation to which he nods, readying his chain and sickle.
"I'm usually here in the underworld when you summon me... However not in this plane of suffering.. There's a different sort of underworld for me.."
Orime stares at the fact that you managed to summon Empori, she rolls her eyes though, " It drained you more than usual though.. this is bad, I doubt you'll last long here.. Then again, Ash do have a lot of spiritual power.. I guess.. Will you be coming then?"

You need and begin to follow her with Empori.
Before Orime can rightly explain what needs to be done, A Demon the size of a mountain picks up the carriage with Sensei and Kuro still inside of it. Orime's lips tighten as she bears witness to the giant that somehow snuck up on your group. The High Oni regards your tiny selves before looking back to the hell carriage. He bellows," GOOD TO SEE DAUGHTER OF HEADMISS. SORRY THE CARRIAGE BROKE. WHERE ARE THE PIECES TO THE WHEEL?" Looking about, you now notice that there are no screams, people suffering, or even an oni, greater or lesser.
Orime and yourself pick up the shards of the broken wheel. He places a finger for the two of you to hand them over. Gingerly, he presses the broken pieces onto the side of the wagon. a light is seen and the wheel is whole again.

Placing the wagon down carefully, Orime yells up to the High Oni," Thank you for helping! I'll come visit you soon!"
The oni bellows in laughter,"VISIT ME, DAUGHTER OF HEADMISS? YOU DO THIS LOWLY ONI SOME HONOR. BE ON YOUR WAY. MIND THE CARRIAGE. IT IS QUICK FIX."

Well... The High Oni just fixed your carriage and walked off. Sitting back inside, Kuro is still out cold, his crow's lost half of its feathers from fear-molting, and Sensei Eddie is laughing heartily about catching up with Jeffry, the Oni from earlier.... Wait... What?

The rest of the ride continues amiably between you and Orime.

Well that went suprisingly well

>>22329768
try and hold her hand again

just leave it open next to her let her decide

>>22329800
No..no...NO
GOD DAMN IT SUCH A WASTE

>>22329808
Do this

Upon arriving back at the village, the sun is only just rising, as it had been before they left the Lord of Fox's castle-fort. Asking Orime, you find that time passes differently in hell. It's an eternity for those there, but a minute feels like just the blink of the eye to the living.

Kuro is still out cold, and Sensei Eddie is being Sensei Eddie.. No harm in that, right?

You're all very tired and ought to retire.

>A) Rouse Kuro and see how he's doing.
>B) Invite Orime over.
>C) Ask Sensei Eddie how he thinks you did in the mission.
>D) Write in.
(we need to report the result. It will be done automatically upon turning in. Congrats on the first team mission success, especially with A-rank difficulty.)

Go for the gold with B

Though, as I noted earlier. The mission rank does not always correspond to the difficulty.

>>22329851
>>A) Rouse Kuro and see how he's doing.
ts our job

Imagine how much Kuro would be screaming if he was awake for the High Oni's aid... hooo boy.

Rolled 6

>>22329926
Ya do this too if we can do both

Rolled 13

>A) Rouse Kuro and see how he's doing.

Rolled 5, 20 = 25

>>22329851
That was a quick fix and I suggest going for A and B after all we are the medic need to make sure Kuro is still alive and didnt die of a heart attack.

As for Orime invite her to a resturant to celebrate a mission complete.

Oh and when we sleep and wake up go and report the mission success in the morning.

Hot damn too bad for Kuro hope he isnt dead but i have the feeling we are in for awesome times with Orime be they Bro tier or waifu times.

Aside, the success of that mission was purely attributed to how overpowered Empori is... might make modifications to the cost of his skills..
The guardians of the Ash are often heroes or notable ninja in their own right.

>>22330047
Yeah, we should probably train ourselves better

>>22330030
Yep we are getting luuuucky to night. at the very least we wont get the shit beat out of us by the half demoness of brutality

>>22330047
And he also was only powerful simply because of the enemy we faced, which was an easily breakable militia

>>22330017
I'll take the 5 for seeing how kuro is... 20 for Orime...

With Empori still summoned, he walks over to kuro and squeezes his cheeks to see if there's any chance of waking him up. "Hey, you should see this guy. He's absolutely out. Your master's shock did him one... His crow looks like a chicken now too.. hehe."
You assess the situation for Kuro... It seems that he's suffered a bit of damage to his nervous system.. and based on his connection to his crow, despite being incapacitated, he likely witnessed the Oni anyway... Applying some ash to fix some of the damage in the now, you soon do all that you can. With your own skill.
"Empori, could you take him to the temple of Ash for proper healing? He's fine for now, though I'm sure he'll need better care... his bird too.."
Empori bows with a gentle smile on his feminine face. "With pleasure, my friend. Empori sets off with Kuro and Sensei Eddie finally dismisses the group officially to do... Enma knows what the lightning do on their spare time...

Facing Orime, that seems rather pleased by your attentiveness to a comrade, and seems as though she's forgiven you for earlier.
You smile at her as the dawn breaks, "So, would you care to watch the sunrise, have breakfast, or come over to the temple to sleep with me?"
Orime blushes her violet-red again and starts to stammer a bit," Ye-yeah... I'm a bit hungry now that you mention. Hell typically makes me feel like going all ni- I mean it keeps me awake,, Heh... Yeah, sure. Let's go get some food. The Ash Temple, or the House of Oni?"

You feel pretty tired overall..
>A) Your place.
>B) Hers.
>C) Drop the idea, go to bed.
>D) Write in.
(That 20 remains for this descision.
