11th day of Prophecy, 07:12 am, near the shop of the alchemist golem crafter Ithel Hermingild.

The lack of sleep brought on by yesterday events caught up to your poor self in quite the frustrating way for, right when the light of dawn pierced through the high hills native to Zipangu, a few obnoxious officers went around waking everyone and despite your protest (and the still sleeping Emeth) you were forcefully pulled out along with Leila for a few morning drills that, fortunately, weren’t much compared to your time back home amidst the Shieffer, the rest of your morning was spent trying to wake up properly while eating some rations as you mingled with the soldiers somewhat but only found comfort with the blond who never left your side during the entire ordeal.

If it weren’t for this girl you would have been hopelessly lost inside this large camp, you can’t possibly thank her enough, but that didn’t mean she was free of duties for shortly after making it back to your tents, the girl was pulled aside by a solemn dressed youth with a badge of the Inquisition, leaving you momentarily speechless however you convinced yourself that nothing could be wrong, while the Purifier and Inquisition happen to be two different organizations they still work together very closely and thus, your early morning was spent with Emeth, the girl had finally awoken as you came back, although you suspected she had been feigning sleep for a while.

Trying to pry information’s out of her was completely fruitless given that she remembered absolutely nothing prior to her deactivation and she quickly grew uninterested in the discussion, favoring playing and testing her new limbs (mostly by forcefully hugging you) and managing to channel some Holy energy without problem or interference, making you doubt the impacts of yesterday events, regardless, you were already overdue to your appointment and that is why you retreated old grounds, holding the girl by the hand as she silently walked beside you, the soul link telling you of her puzzlement at seeing the familiar scenery leading to Ithel tent.

You’d like to make a thorough investigation of her new capabilities but, as always, time is proving too harsh a mistress.

--

‘’Siggy?’’

You weren’t about to leave her in the dark of course, and it may be cruel of you to wait like this for her prompt, but these very organic interrogations will, eventually, lead to some emotions on part of your precious bodyguard, even now you think you feel something buried deep beneath her usual emotionless façade, fueling her confusion.

‘’You’ll have to stay with Ithel for a while’’

You answer bluntly, frowning against the light of the sun landing right on your face, making certain your voice is measured accordingly given the active soldiers, you’ve caught some gossip during training and it seem another, proper military camp is to be built today deeper in the territory.
It’s very likely that something very, very important is going on with the Inquisitors and Purifiers.

‘’No’’

The golem finally answer, right as you stop in front of the tent, the girl has tilted her head to the side and her bright red, square pupils are full of her usual emptiness, however her refusal was much more… physical, since she simply stopped moving.

‘’Emeth… you…’’

You’d like to say ‘’you need to be fixed’’ but that could prove to be very, very rude and while you doubt the girl feelings could actually be hurt, a certain nagging in the back of your mind prevent this sentence from escaping your mouth as you remember how your dear mother kept lecturing you about being a gentleman.

‘’Fine, I’m fine’’

The girl squeeze your hand while rotating her foot for emphasis, producing some small scratching as her boot rattle the ground, then stomp her little dirt circle, taking a particularly strong stance as the strength in her hand tighten, the liquid metal inside her arms show itself by a slight unnatural stiffening of her upper arm.

…

How troublesome you spy the little alchemist inside her tent, the girl is smiling broadly with more than enough mischievousness for two as she’s looking at this sudden domestic disagreement with great interest, you also spot another silhouette to her right but only see what is… probably a cape of pale blue.

Without a doubt, this is the wayward Purifier

Damn.

‘’We can…do what… what Siggy want’’

Emeth speak once more, her flat tone completely out of place compared to the slight spark of earnest emotions filtering through the soul link, they feel induced instead of genuine; seem like the girl isn’t quite grasping the concept just yet.

You could tell her the truth of her predicament in a low voice, or simply order her to do as you say; both options aren’t exactly any better and, given this sudden stubbornness, it’s highly likely that sweet talking your bodyguard out of her duties is going to prove most difficult… Also you have an audience, even if they are accomplice to the whole thing.

What do you do, Siegfried?

>>26433575
Tell her the truth.

>>26433575
What happened last night may be the signs of a serious condition. Ithel needs to check on you to make sure you're alright. Please, this concerns you're health.

>>26433575
"Emeth, there's still fine-tuning and calibrations that need to be done. Also, there are some things that I will need to do where bringing you along will be more dangerous than keeping you here. This needs to be done, Emeth."

>>26433888
But couldn't Emeth hearing that her User List is going to get edited trigger one of Tsu's failsafes?
This IS Tsu we're talking about, a woman who has gone full Shadowrun.

‘’What I want, Emeth, is to complete yesterday work; your body still needs calibrations and tunings to be optimal with your new set of abilities and limbs and…’’

You stop as the words dies in your throat, pondering the option of telling the girl about the events of yesterday. She obviously has a right to know, but she’s also likely to agonize and see it as a complete failure on her part.

‘’I’m fine’’

Stubbornly keeping herself glued on your person, the golem shake her head to emphasize her point and, in the end, you’re left with a weary sigh as you pull her closer, not that you’d mind giving her a hug but telling her the truth might be the best option.

‘’Emeth, I need you to be even stronger than you are now and Ithel is the only person that can accomplish this; your body is still shackled by some of

Tsukiyomi magic and I need you to be completely free, you almost walked out on me yesterday and I don’t want a repeat of that, understood?’’
You feel a slight burst of incomprehension and confusion through the soul link as she frown in some kind of soft irritation, but given your emotions and utmost confidence in the fact you are speaking the truth, Emeth slowly let go of your hand and look down as she bite her bottom lip.

‘’That…was the weird dream?’’

Her question leave you slightly dumfounded, but you quickly nod your head as some form of dread tighten your chest; if you were to tell her absolutely everything, it’s likely that’ll trigger some sort of failsafe, Tsukiyomi had uncountable, predictable years to prepare and it’s highly likely that she has failsafe after failsafe.

‘’I don’t…. want to be useless’’

This time, you squish her body against yours.

‘’You aren’t, and never will be’’

--

‘’Dat was pretty cute I gotta say’’

The jest came the moment you entered the alchemist tent and you simply give a shrug in response as you gesture for Emeth to lie on the operating table, your poor golem has grown meek and sullen, all but ignoring your attempts at bringing her out of this sudden bout of depression and, as rude as it may be, you decided to let her wallow in this newfound darkness for time, as always, elude you.

‘’Cmon girl chin up!’’

The bubbly alchemist reward for her good will is silence, prompting a sigh from the small blond who is all but forced to turn your attention upon you and Leila who, for some reason, is back in full uniform, two inquisitorial masks beside her on the nearest table while she weighted a sack on our shoulder.

This isn’t the kind of baggage you are used to see.

‘’Anyway! I’ll be needed a drop of ye blood, and some of ye too Leila’’
Ithel break the silence and take some tools, namely a few set of cylindrical, metallic tubes and two sharp knives.

‘’Why me?’’

Leila asks with a confused frown.

‘’Cause yet a virgin and I don’t wanna bleed like a pig, gotta concentrate ya know?’’

‘’V-vir!?’’

Leila turns toward her friend in a sudden, almost faux feeling of outrageousness and you do your best to avoid snickering loudly as Ithel start clanging her tubes together.

‘’It won’t be too long!’’

Unfortunately, you didn’t have time to linger much longer inside the tent, Emeth grew sulky right until the moment you exited, and not even gracing you with a farewell or good luck and you were half convinced that she somehow deactivated herself but the constant activity of the soul Link convinced you otherwise.

Also, Ithel almost chocked on her saliva when she saw what your blood looked like but quickly turned it into a joke and you’d have voluntarily stayed if it weren’t for Leila insistence at pushing you out of the place, resulting in the two of you marching out with a brisk goodbye and staying out of the soldiers paths.

‘’Siegfried, I’ll need you to put on this uniform.’’

On the way out, Leila grabbed the second mask and now, she pushed both of them on you as your path stopped near the white tent used as a makeshift place of worship.

Aah… you really wish you could have your bodyguard with your give about now, the sudden blank of the Soul Link also make you wince, which doesn’t escape Leila gaze.

‘’I can give you some answers if that’d make you feel better’’

What do you say, Siegfried?

>>26434544
"What should I be expecting?"

Finally managed to get around to catching up with this quest. Though work means I still can't participate.

Just a thought with regards to our corrupted blood. Given that as a Mage we can manipulate liquids, this means we can manipulate our blood. And then freeze it and use it as a projectile. Or encase small amounts of it in ice shards. Either way, we can weaponize our corruption if we really feel that something needs to go down fast. As we have already seen how effective it was back with the onis, when it caused some rather horrific injuries.

>>26434725
Pretty much this, as well as how we're expected to act.

"What should I be expecting?"

You simply ask this as you take the clothes and mask from Leila, entering the tent in a brisk pace and closing the curtain, quickly getting out of your previous clothing that, you remember, were given to you by Leila as well.

Here the uniform is very much different with clear metallic reinforcement around the chest and back, all colored in black and dark blue projecting quite the solemn feeling as you start dressing down and glaring at the metal mask representing a human face without any kind of decoration, it’s quite different from the one Leila was wearing.

‘’There’s a serious operation going on between the Inquisitor and Purifiers, both orders are actively working together and I’ve been ordered to go, although you…’’

The Purifier took a few step closers, to the point that you half expected her to burst into your little confessional changing room, instead she probably just got closer in order to keep any eavesdropping to a realistic minimum.

‘’Whoever it is that contacted you in the Inquisition seem to have decided to use me as a makeshift messenger, regardless you were asked a favor; to participate in today operation and capture a ‘’peculiar’’ monster.’’

Capture…?

‘’That’s about as far as I know, once you are done we’ll progress to the inner camp and get our stones of teleportation that’ll get us where we need to be ‘’

Leila stop talking with an uncharacteristic grunt and you can just picture her holding the holy sword, however… you were asked a favor, instead of having an assignment dumped on you, and it is entirely possible for you to refuse…

What do you say?

>>26435041
"What exactly were you told to tell me?"

>>26434520
Why is being a virgin so important? Blood on blood after all.

>>26435120

Blood magic work differently, I'll explain how it work once Emeth is properly fixed.

"What exactly were you told to tell me?"

Your rebuttal come a bit late as you spent an unhealthy amount of time staring into the mask, then the inside of the object and you couldn’t help but frown in confusion at the various engraving and marks, all of them runes of some sort but very different from what you remember seeing Ithel doing, there’s no illustration, merely writings upon writing that leave you quite uncomfortable at the prospect of putting this thing on, especially since there’s no way to actually keep it on your face beside some kind of magical suction.

‘’Exactly what I just said’’

Leila repeats as you continue glaring at the mask.

‘’A masked member of the Inquisition came to me after I received my own order that trickled down from Lex tent. She asked that I relay her message to you ‘’A certain person would like to ask your subordinate a favor’’

Leila took on a strangely mocking, nasal voice as she repeated the message and you can’t help but smile at the prospect of the young girl being your superior.

‘’Today, Purifiers and Inquisitors are working together and he would…appreciate it if he were able to capture a peculiar, unique monster and bring it back alive.’’

How…peculiar.

‘’What the hell is that supposed to mean?’’

You finally ask, resolving yourself to put the mask on your face and ,right as you do, you feel a warm pulse invading your face and trickling down all over your body until… the Beast inside your body snarl, the magical invasion meant to keep your emotions buried is conquered and the Inquisitorial mask cracks uncharacteristically, but keep itself on your face thanks to its inherent magic.

Now that was quite…

‘’Beats me, I wasn’t told anything else, are you ready to go?’’

>>26435463
"Lead the way."

>>26435463
How do they expect us to succeed with so little information? Also, I know who they after. Hope I'm wrong.

‘’Lead the way’’

It’s highly likely that the both of you are stumbling in the dark in the time being and, as you exit the tent and smile behind the mask toward Leila, the girl nods and put on her own mask that, unfortunately, rob her of all emotions, her magnificent green eyes lose all warmth and humanity; leaving a simple set of emerald empty of anything human that leave you unsettled and angry.

‘’We’ll have a briefing on the premise of the mission itself, let’s go, we’ve got to finish before the army start moving proper’’

--

08:25 am, inside the temporary headquarter of the joint operation, inside the forests of Hrotio.

Teleportation has to be one of the strangest method of transportation you ever had the… chance of experiencing; once you and Leila made your way back into the main camp and you did your best to ignore Emeth situation, you and the long haired blond were given a pair of strong magical stones covered in runes and enough magic to make any mages choke in discomfort, you couldn’t help but wonder how much of the thing you could eat to replenish your batteries…

You also didn’t need to calibrate the objects, for they were all prepped up and ready, in fact you crossed path with many an agents disappearing inside the vast complex of the commander’s tents and…

You crossed path with one of your target; Orion of Conflict, thankfully it was only a passing glance as the individual appeared in between two tents as he was going… somewhere but the very vision of the metal skinned angel sent an emotion of pure, raw terrors in your guts, you were almost convinced he was telepathic and you silently thanked Leila of the mask as the Embodiment disappeared, your hand gently tapped the shoulder of your benefactor who, surprisingly, didn’t seem to mind.

>>26434092
>Tsu going full Shadowrun

Oh dear fucking god I could refluff her into a Shadowrun Character so easy it ain't funny. Shall I attempt it?

You were very eager to teleport out; and immediately regretting the wish once your entire body became numb and nauseous, it was thankfully all over in a flash and you found yourself in a very crude, makeshift camp without fortification, but full of masked people in almost exact clothing save for variously colored cape, from bright green to jet black.

None had yours and Leila colors, the entire place was deep, deep in the forest you remember running through the day before yesterday; the trees were gigantic and full of constantly falling leaves while corpse of soldiers lay here and there, remnant of the fierce battle fought not even a week ago.

Of course, there was enough Holy energy bathing the entire location to cure any side effects of the teleportation.

>’’These guys seem busy, this should be fun’’

Ignoring the remark, you quickly run beside Leila who didn’t even wait for you as she walked toward the middle of the camp where a single Inquisitor in a bright, red cloak was busy looking over a map spread on a holy shield, many of the new arrivals seemed to actually know where to go and joined similarly colored units.

However, there was also a double pairs of very odd individuals that had absolutely nothing in common with everyone else; 3 men and a single woman in very different set of armors exited the camps in a brisk pace toward the northeast, you could only frown in confusion as seeing what looked like a bonafide party of adventurers.

The church is a weird place alright.

‘’So, you are the pair of independent agents?’’

The man asks, not even bothering to look up from the map as he follows a region with his finger.

‘’Yes we are, Sir’’

While you have no idea what the color of the cloak could mean in term of hierarchy, Leila actually make a salute as she speak and you mirror her in kind.

‘’Right then, we can be fast and have you on the job in a minute or I can explain the situations, which would you like?’’

>>26436051
Explain the situation. We need to know what we're walking into here.

‘’Speed is of the essence’’

Leila says but, as she turns toward you, you shake your head and take place near the map, prompting the girl to nod at your obvious intent, palming the pommel of the Holy sword.

‘’…but knowledge is the most important resources, give us a full briefing, Sir’’

The hierarchy of the Church and its twin orders seem very weird indeed, but you aren’t one to complain when a commander is willing to listen to his subordinates.
Instead you concentrate on the map and you find something much, much more in-depth than the scribble you were bracing for, while it can’t be compared to the large sets of detailed drawing you remember seeing in Tsukiyomi tent, there’s more than enough to make a proper briefing and some knowledge of the terrain, in fact it’s so thorough that you almost overlap it with the maps of your memory.

‘’Right, I’ll still keep it brief, but what we’ve got right now is enough operatives running around the entire length of the battlefield that we actually find ourselves outnumber by an enemy of similar tactics and competences, I’ve sent demands for reinforcements and I’m glad it’s being met, regardless, the bottom line is that Zipangu forces match us and we are on the losing side until our Orders send some more people from the mainland, so I’ll need the two of you to buckle up; I know the reputation of your cloaks and I fully intend for you both to live up to it’’

‘’Sir!’’

Is Zipangu really a match for the Purifiers and Inquisitors…? That’s probably wishful thinking, the force of the island are only the vanguard of the crusade after all, only a few ‘’magical armors’’ have arrived from boats yesterday night, that must count for the numbers of agents as well.

’Now, we’ve got about 3 areas that are of serious concerns, the enemy has been very active during our first battle in term of subterfuges and I’m certain that they’ve been up and about to plants some kinds of traps and we’ve caught many red herring and don’t have any damn clues what they’re trying to do, so instead we’ve shifted our strategy to getting rid of as many personnel as we can and start a campaign of scorched earth, we’ve got to make this entire place clear for the main army’’

Is this how it feels to have an entire military force running around like headless chicken? However, once the man tap on his map to one of the large circle of the map dubbed ‘’Objective A’’ you remember very, very well that this area is… very, very close to what was on Tsukiyomi map.

‘’Northwest of our position seem to be where the most concentrated numbers of these blue garbed monsters are located, we’ve been hitting them pretty hard all night long and I think they seem ready to retreat, or at least, change personnel; having the two of you there and make use of this opportunity could be very beneficial…. But it may also be a trap’’

You slowly awkwardly as you force down the stress of your body, the commander barely take a breath when he tap on the location of ‘’Objective B’’ located to the Southeast, a bit closer to Zipangu frontier.

‘’Now this place is a total clusterfuck, everyone that were sent has been killed or maimed by what look like an angel, at least according to the few survivors’’

You almost choke on your saliva, it take your entire military cadence to keep your cool; you are very, very glad for this mask because it’s impossible to hide your emotions.

‘’I’ve sent a few reports – and demands- that the angels in the camps come to deal with this problem and so far, no answer, which is why I’d very much like you to take a look and delay this manslaughter as much as possible, it’d really relieve us of some bad pressures’’

Hadraniel…

‘’Now then, this place I pretty far up North and you’ll be likely to stumble upon a few reserves force of the monsters, but it’s also where I’ve got the least amount of information; it’s deep into the forest and that’s about as much as I’ve got; all the people I’ve sent there were killed, if could go there and reports your findings, I’d give us some very much needed knowledge’’

The red cloaked commander takes a deep breath and doesn’t even look up from his map to ask his question.

‘’Make your choice’’

>>26436757
Objective A is probably the safest. B will be Hadraniel encounter and the third option will be mantis assassin.

So we don't know what Tsu was planning for those locations, just that they were important?

>>26437453
No. We were told that we have to bring a Monster back, and we haven't been told what Monster.
All of the ones from Location A and C would be killed immediately.

Hadraniel might not be killed immediately because she IS an angel.

That's not true, as indepedent agents of the Purifier/Inquisitor orders you are able to enjoy a good amount amount of leeway, if yo umanage to capture someone they won't be executed on the spot given that they'll be your prisoners of war, agents in your shoes are usually under the direct order of very important people so no questions tend to be asked

>>26437591
They might not be immediately killed, but it sounds very likely that Ahriman will ask to have the prisoner transferred to the Inquisition, and they'll be killed there.
Isn't that something he could do?

Of course, but you also don't know why he asked you to capture someone, he obviously have a need of them, why else would he ask you to spare one and bring it back? It'd be a phenomenal waste to kill the girl once she's in camp

I'd rather not fight Hadraniel, and C looks like we'd just be killed.
A, we might be able to get, say Mylen, and she can escape on her own once we bring her back.

Hadraniel would just cause the Angels to try to kill her immediately.

Lamentably I already voted for A but I will say my peace.

You two are going to get us killed. No way in hell we and Leila can take Hadraniel. Yes, she won't immediately kill us. Yes, she will demand we spill the beans. Yes, we will be forced to in order to survive. Leila *will* report that shit. We will burn on the stake for heresy.

I did it! I wrote a short story that refluffs Tsu's background to fit in with Shadowrun. I borrowed a few of the characters here, imagining them as a few of the most powerful runners around, for only an epic level team could hope to take on something strong enough to take out a Great Dragon.

Rest assured, in Shadowrun, the last thing you want to piss off and actually have to fight is a Great Dragon. I'll post it after this threads done if ya want.

For a time, you were wracked with the most bitter of indecision as you pondered your options, you quickly narrowed down your possible solutions between A and B as C… sounded too far and away from your current objectives and for a time, you imagined Hadraniel fighting alone in that large terrain; if she regained her entire set of abilities, she may very well be holding the line alone, meaning that you won’t be capturing anyone and fail to get closer to Ahriman; A, in comparison, seem far, far too likely to have you cross paths with the various ladies you’ve come in contact with…

It is with a bitter, bitter grimace that you point at the most active area of the operation on the map, soon after, Leila nod and take charge.

‘’I was thinking the same thing, Objective A seem to collapse under the control of the Church, we’ll be heading there, First Flame’’

The man nod, finally looking up from the map to look at you in the eyes, the color of his iris was a strange, unique dull gray.

‘’I’ll divert some squads to B and C, it’s highly likely that you’ll be crossing path with the 4 mercenaries employed by Audo Tius; if they become a nuisance, get rid of them’’

Tius…? That’s a familiar name, but searching your foggy memory for the source isn’t an option, as you are very quickly pulled aside by the Purifier as, just like that, your operations was decided.

Independent agents are far, far more self-reliant than you imagined.

‘’Are you ready, Siegfried? We’ll progress at a rapid pace toward our destinations, I think we’ll be flanked by a few squads…’’

She gesture toward two trio behind you, each being cloaked and masked silhouette, men and women, some of them having long blond and brown hair and you almost feel like cracking a joke at Leila to reduce the tension but you soon let go of this terrible, terrible idea.

‘’Let’s go’’

There’s no doubt that ‘’special agents’’ ring with Olympic physical fitness and it is with great regret that you couldn’t keep pace with Leila, although sprinting to your destination is folly in of itself, the two of you were soon shadowed by a few Purifier that quickly raced ahead as you conserved your energy, the entire area was full of enough magic to disorient any attempt at locating any peculiar crisis and your paths took you right into the battlefield of two days ago, you had to steel your heart as you stumbled upon corpse of women, men and monsters; some of them perforated by ranged weapons, others cut apart by swords and axes, others stabbed by spears and short swords, an unlikely few completely trampled… the entire plains and forest stank with the decay of blood and putrefaction.

Neither nations had the time for cleaning this mess, after all even now there was an engagement, even if it wasn’t between armies.

‘’Were approaching’’

So close to the area now, you could almost hear the cutting sounds of projectiles, explosions of alchemical weapons and burst of magical energy, all merged into a deadly mess that is war or, more precisely, a very, very deadly skirmish between highly trained individuals.
The area itself was inside one of the many forest flanking the open plain, bordering a peculiar chain of small mountains presenting a few burnt out watch post in its close horizon.

‘’Down!’’

File: 1375672718350.jpg-(112 KB, 500x500, 39.jpg)

‘’Down!’’

You may be a mage and find many pleasance in academy, your adolescence training still feel very rigid and real and it is thank to your many night excursion that you picked the subtle sounds of battle amidst the others, those were close indeed and you forced Leila in the underbrush, hugging her close as you watched a pair of Knight, namely a Lamia and a Minotaurus, running in between the trees as they withdrew from the onslaught of 4 Inquisitors, two of them sending the odd crackling of lightning that landed on trees instead of the girls, sending splinters and deafening crack all around in a very obnoxious boom.

Just like that, they were gone deeper in the forest.

This isn’t some kind of proper battlefield, its outright manslaughter, various corpses of humans and monsters litter the ground; all of them felled by very lethal weapons and magic.

‘’Siegfried’’

If your physical proximity is causing some form of discomfort, Leila isn’t showing any, but she’s certainly keeping her voice down.

‘’Southwest of our position seem relatively free of engagement, we could also go deeper inside the area but I’m not certain of your options; also do you think we ought to keep a low profile?’’

She already identified a potential direction…?

She was indeed, trained from childhood, regardless, what is your choice, Siegfried? Low or High profile? Do you go into the relatively calm area of the forest, or the active one? Neither directions trigger your Soul Link, in fact, there’s a strange cold feeling in the threads, causing a clear, odd interference

‘’Slow and steady, the others operatives are loud enough for us both; we’ll be able to slip by in the thick of it’’

Leila answer you with a nod, it doesn’t feel like you are deciding as a leader; the girl merely came at the same conclusion as has already set out to run behind one of the felled tree and you follow suit as magical bursts happen all around, even now you still hear the squads fighting in earnest.

The reason why you decided to go deeper into all of this activity is rather simple; they must be trying to hide something and it’s your job to uncover it.

Of course, that could be a diversion, but you can’t make a perfect choice during a mission and right now, you and Leila are proceeding relatively smoothly as the Inquisitors are fighting tooth and nails against Zipangu finest; in such a chaotic and unpredictable environment, even the greatest of care cannot help you if luck is not on your side…

Attempting to sneak inside a warzone is not easy, especially when you lack proper training for such a thing but, given the confusing and utterly disorienting amount of magic in the immediate vicinity you felt secure enough to embrace Focus in case of immediate menace and, mirroring your actions, Leila entered her magical trance as she was moving from trees to trees, her movement sharp and strong compared to yours but you did your best to avoid slacking, which is why the two of you managed to avoid the harpy that was flying in between the trees, her claws clutching a pair of Ofuda, unfortunately the girl was felled by a well-aimed fireball and quickly spread on her body for a few seconds; burning skins and feathers while sending her crashing on the ground headfirst, snapping her neck right then and there.
Similar events were happening all over the forest as life after life were snuffed out mercilessly but, lady luck was on your side this day for you and Leila managed to avoid needless confrontation as everyone was much, much too busy killing one another; the girl sharp eyes and ears allowed you to avoid many needless fight and it is with a little feeling of inadequacy that you snuck deep into the forest and what you could only guess to be, the main camp of the Shining Knights.

But you couldn’t help this feeling in your guts that you were allowed to closer inside…

--

>’’Blah stink of corruption’’

Once more you ignore the remark of the Beast, it hasn’t been 10 minutes since you and Leila went deeper inside the forest and a part of you wish you hadn’t; the vegetation grew thick and merciless, reminiscent of the great jungle of the Demon Lord, regardless you pressed on, pushing aside the darkening plants and recently felled trees, brought down by magical phenomenon.

It was all well and good until you came across a very, very concerning mass grave of Inquisitors; men and women alike were literally strewn up and about the vegetation, gorging the soil with lifeblood and tuning the dirt into an eerie dark red and, as you examined the bodies, as far as you could see all of them had they’re very heart ripped from they’re chest, the location of the organs unknown.

‘’Ugh…’’

The sounds of struggle almost grew distant as the stench made its way into your nostrils, the very vision of so much corpse starting to tear at your sanity somewhat and you started to hear an uncharacteristic scratching…

>’’Careful there, mate.’’

‘’Blood magic…?’’

You hear Leila mumble, all but abandoning her previous crouching position.

You almost scream a fervent ‘’No!’’ Tsukiyomi would never stoop that low…right?

>’’Oh I get it, hahahaha…’’

You snap your teeth loudly to try and take away the constant scratching in your mind, the corpses and vegetation are much, much too unnatural and weird, but they also seem to be leading you deeper inside, beckoning deeper into the forest…

What do you do?

Oh fuck no, we need to change course. Our goal can be the same but we need to alter our angle of approach.

And of course Tsu would use blood magic.
Blood magic itself isn't bad.

And honestly, these are Inquisitors.
That's like feeling sorry for members of the Spanish Inquisition, or people who directly engaged in genocide. Sure they were people, but they were also pretty bad people.

>>26441399
Oh fuck, ohhhhh fuck I know what this is. The mantis order is killing anyone who enters the forest, Hadraniel is holding the line at the other location and here...

This is where she will unleash her own version of a nuke. It's a display of raw power, attempting to show the church that Zipangu is NOT to be fucked with. And while I certainly hope Tsu's days of being a Philosopher Path Sealing Designate are over I just can't be sure about that given our shenanigains...

Not all inquisitors are on board for total senmetsu, just Ahriman's faction within it. Plots within plots man, no organization is monolithic.

‘’Leila’’

You whisper, your voice low and drawn out as you put your hand on her shoulder, your partner visibly stiffen despite the mask burying her emotions and it is a blank pair of emerald eyes that slowly look up at you, you feel great, great shame at the fact that her lovely visage is hidden behind this damn mask.

‘’We’ve got to go, now’’

You whisper, ignoring the constant scratching in your mind as you try your best to avoid looking at the corpses, there is something beyond sinister going on right now in this patch of land and you don’t want to be caught in the middle of it.

‘’Not before getting an idea of what’s going on’’

The girl responds and takes a step forward, closer to a few of the desecrated corpses, peering down and examining them with all the detachment of a statue.

The inside of your chest feel warms and tingly, you aren’t sure why but each breath you take in fills you great vigor’s and energy as the scratching of your mind never subside, it’s a constant hollow sound, similar to the crackling of woods in the fire, or the sinister sound of a ghoul gnawing at bones; kept at bay, just out of ear shot but sometime you turn around as if you heard the vegetation’s moving, as if the eyes of some unknown intruders were resting upon you.

‘’Do you hear that?’’

The new energy finding itself in your body is immediately spent into your mind and magic as you start to examine the world around you under intensive scrutiny, you take a step forward out of cover and quickly grab Leila again.

‘’There’s nothing going on Siegfried, why are you so afraid?’’

The stench of blood is so heavy it almost tastes like wet, raw steak when you open your mouth; your breath is ragged, you almost choke behind the mask but manage to let out a grunt.

‘’Cautious, Leila I’m-‘’

‘’Wait, here!’’

The girl wasn’t looking at you, but deeper inside the forest and her dull eyes illuminated in interest as she caught something and, all but ignoring you, she take another step away from you and deeper into the bloodbath, you hear another scratch in the back of your mind which send a chill down your spine as, finally, you realize what’s going on when you take in another breath.

‘’LEILA’’

You launch a desperate wall of ice in the direction of your friend, next come a heavy, dull sound of impact as something strong and fast collide with your sudden protective wall, pierce it and graze the metal protection of Leila clothes as the girl quick reflex save her life.

The world shift, change and break; the darkness and mutated trees combust soundlessly, reducing themselves into small particle that toward, each and every single breath you take send an addictive drugs into your veins, half of the corpses disappears in the same fashion and you clap your hand on your mouth, out of pure reflex even if they don’t exist.

An illusion, you step right into an illusion and the master is very close indeed.

First, there is a swirl of purple energy escaping an Ofuda made into a makeshift collar, strong magical beads light up in blue as it struggle against your infinite appetite, the illusion of the object completely broken by your very nature as a manaphage.

There is a slick, humid sound as a peculiar appendage ‘’slide’’ in place, the weapon broke your makeshift wall too fast and effortlessly for your tastes, Leila was also send sprawling further back by the sheer force.

You’d have preferred to avoid looking into her eyes, even so you can’t avoid it and the features of your ambusher are all too well known, you remember the green scales of her face very well indeed, same with her light brown hair pulled into a practical ponytail, if it weren’t for the long, demonic appendage bleeding out its ink-like blood you’d feel great emotions instead of dread.

‘’…’’

Yes, you very much know who she is, her pair of bright, yellow eyes are stitched to yours and you feel the poor blonde struggling to get up from the ambush; even this close, you feel absolutely nothing from the Soul Link and for a moment your eyes lodges themselves on the Ofuda that actually look much more like a metal talisman.

‘’I know who you are’’

There’s a very audible wet squelch as Athena long, almost elegant demonic arm bleed its response to her tightening fist.
Much to your dismay, words fail you right about now.

Huh. They're unlikely to think we're the cause, because we do Ice only, and can't control fire.

>>26443937
Keeping that arm is probably a death flag. It is made of old corruption. Let's ask the oni how old corruption worked out for them.

>>26443935
That'd probably be enough to get us some bonus points with command.
She might get so mad at us she goes more demon though.

Thanks for the compliment man, hope I captured the tenseness of dealings with a big league Mr. Johnson, the grimdarkness of the setting, and just how "fuck you" strong dragons are compared to PC's, even epic level ones.

It's a great setting, goes well with natural player attitudes as well. If you're not paranoid as all fuck, you're not going to last long as a runner. You're a pawn of the corps, but you know what you are and can use that to your advantage. And you better, if you hope to survive.

Looks like we're in Tarkus's shoes right about now. He had a perfect response for betrayal:

"What power could be worth betraying us all!"
"The power to save you."

No wonder there's no feelings in the link, the broad is slowly turning into a mindless berserker! I hope Leila brought the sword with her, it'd really help to cool her off. Also calling it now it's Tian. Man, this is gonna hurt, for her.

I wodner if you'll continue that sortstory

Also, another bit of info, the talisman aceted to block the soul link, not the corruption.

There's no point removing the arm now. It's already fully become apart of her. That's why there was a debate in the swamp in the first place. It's apart of her and removing it by cutting it off won't save her. She's stuck being corrupted.

That would be quite an undertaking. I basically imagined it as a pitch to a somewhat large group of PC's for an epic level campaign in Shadowrun. Things get pretty ridiculous at that level with maxed out stats, the very best augments, and the biggest guns (dat Thunderstruck Gauss Rifle) and I set it 20 some years ahead of where the game is now to justify the kinds of weapons you'd need to take down a Great Dragon with just PC's.

When you have to reach into Doomguy's arsenal to merely stand a chance you know you don't want to fight it.

The powerlevel might be a bit off the chart, yes.

Anyway thank for popping up today, gentlemen. I'll aim for friday for the next sessio nand concentrate on the battle, with the Sunday session being the fallout, having two threads to progress faster seem like a pretty good deal in my opinion

Don't worry, we'll crit fail every roll again. Siggy ain't gonna make it. Sad really but hey, you know the dice.

>>26444700
Yup. He's destined to fail in combat.

>>26444700

Good thing the combat dice 1 and 20 aren't that dramatic anymore huh?

>>26444749

Shush, that's entirely untrue.

>>26444646
Not a problem, see you friday.
