Regrouping is our first priority. But we should also have Inuyasha try to sniff out who is nearby.

We find one, chances are we'll find the other. And we'll have better odds tracking Sango.

I'll go ahead and give you guys an update on myself because it may affect SJQ. I also owe you an explanation for the thread delays.

I work at a small start up software company that has been trying to launch a project for the past year and a half since I started working there. There have been constant delays and I'm not sure were things are headed. It seems like every month or so there's one big blow up were the owner threatens to just shut the company down, but he cools off by the next day. Recently we moved offices to another location to be nearer to our warehouse which is a long drive from me, so I'm looking into new housing options. We're also in a critical moment that could literally make or break things for us. If certain things don't happen by the end of 2014, we may all be very well fucked. Needless to say, this is a pretty stressful time for me and everyone else, and I still have faith we can pull this off, but my god do we really need a win. Sorry, but I thought it was only fare you guys got an explanation.

>>36359346

Hope everything turns out well for you, Snow.

>>36359346
Well.. hope it works out.. but if it goes tits up get a letter of recommendation out of the guy.

>>36359346

And suddenly, much becomes clear. Hope things come out well, Snow.

You nibble your lower lip as you scan the treeline. The blood trail may run stale, but you’ve got a sneaking suspicion that the mystery woman wants you to follow her and you’re not to keen on wondering head first into whatever ambush or trap gauntlet she may have set up beforehand or during her retreat. What you need to focus on is finding Yura and keeping her in check.

As you turn to give your orders, you notice Inuyasha holding a rather large blade in his hands, staring at it intently as he runs his hands over it. “What… is that the same sword from earlier?”

“Ya” he replies, “I got no idea what cause it ta do this tho-“ without warning the blade glows and shrinks back to its original form, eliciting a cry of frustration from its owner as he flicks it up and down trying to get it to come back.

“You can screw with that later.” You scoff “Right now we need to track down Yura.”

“… ya ok, but we gotta make tracks fast before other lunatic shows up again with friends.”

You nod in agreement and thanks to your memory you recall that Yura still walks around barefoot and has relatively small feet, alerting you to some matching tracks in the dirt near the edge of the forest.

“You can’t be serious, she’s in there?” says Kujo as he peers into the woods. It’s not as dense as area the assassin fled into, but there’s still not much star or moonlight piercing the canopy.

Luckily it’s still just enough to make out a few footprints leading deeper into the woods and Inuyasha quickly picks up her scent. His eyes narrow and his ears fold as he also confirms the scent of his brother. Kujo adjusts the straps on his backpack in response and follows just behind you as the three of you set off into the forest.

The three of you climb over logs and daftly navigate the foliage in silence for several minutes until you start to notice things glinting in the branches. It’s unmistakably Yuras hair, but it’s uncharacteristically loose. You tap Inuyasha on the shoulder and motion to it, but he simply raises an eyebrow. You wave your hands around your head trying to pantomime a skull, but the dog demon still doesn’t seem to understand.

Frustrated, you grip his coat and peel back the folds, thrusting your hand inside and retrieving Yuras skull yourself. You tug on the threads emitted from the eye sockets as the flustered Inuyasha attempts to reituate his wardrobe and hide his face.

At last you manage to find a thread that’s still taught and you motion the men to follow you out into a fresh clearing. Trees and shrubs alike lay cut or cloven. Deep patches of earth as though they were small ditches also litter the area and some of the plant life appears as though it has been melted.

Kujo silently points to the canopy and following his line of sight you see Yura on her back slumped over a tree limb. Her eyes wide and glassy as her sword rocks back and forth tied to her limp and drooping hand by a few threads.

Signal Inuyasha to check around for a potential ambush, while we try and check on Yura.

Pretty sure she can't die if her skull is intact, though we should keep it hidden again in case someone tries to smash it.

Participation seems to drop off in risky choices so individuals can proclaim they had nothing to do with it when it goes wrong.. and or to avoid any feelings of guilt.

They can make great opportunities for power grabs/course changes.

>>36361208
Personally, I'm being constantly distracted by infuriating technology and people barging in all the time. Bah.

"Agent Orange" in patches of earth, eh?

>>36361274
Sheshomaru's claws is my guess... or well however the hell you spell his name.

>>36361313

They are quite poisonous

>>36361326
Acidic is more like it.

Was considering the options, really. trying to figure out questions.

If we touched the skull thing to Yura, would it have healed her?

Is she faking it, playing dead?

Wasn't Yura actually a comb, and the skull was just she kept her real body hidden in?

Also, we should totally check to see if she actually still has some of Sesshomaru's hair.

>>36361208
Hey SnowLoss, Green here. Finally got my internet situation under wraps and can participate gain. sorry if it seemed like i was ignoring you as i was just settling in and catching up with stuff.
/tg/ is really falling to shit huh? i would suggest going on a certain website but even mentioning it on 4chan gets you auto banned, but also im not sure if there is an archive yet either so i wouldn't go there for now.
Good to be questing again though

>>36361348
In Japan, poison and acid seem to be slightly synonymouse

>>36361408
I see.

>>36361351
I doubt she's playing dead.

Also, I bet she got a bit too greedy with Sesshomaru, and paid the price.

>>36361313
Forgot about that. That's what getting steamed does to you, people!

You hold up your fingers to your eyes before pointing to Inuyasha, warning him to keep a look out as you motion for Kujo to follow you to come collect her body.

The two of you struggle with it for a few brief moments before you remember your command word and what it does. “Relax” you whisper.

Yuras body goes limper still and the ttwo of you manage to heft her out of the trees, however your footing isn’t solid and you slip, crashing to the mushy moss and grass covered ground; Yuras corpse sprawled across you. Rolling her off, you realize it’s just her torso and right arm. Your mind starts to wonder how this would look if she was a person of flesh and blood as Kujo drags her legs beside her and places them under the hair demons bisected waistline before he falls backwards onto his butt next to you.

“So… think she’s dead for real?”

You remain silent.

“I see…” He pauses for a moment longer “Damn fine piece of work whoever did this.”

“Doesn’t this bother you? Even a little?”

“I didn’t know her that well, but this is just how life is here. Don’t dwell on this.”

“It’s hard not to, you know? Ever since I’ve been here, things seem to get worse. I find myself wishing that I could go back to the way it was before, but I don’t know if I even can. Or want to.”

“You’re trapped. I know the feeling. I wish I could offer you my condolences, but I’d be afraid that they would come off as insincere.” He exhales as he stands up “It’s an awful world we live in Kagome and there’s only so much we can do to change it. I’m sorry.”

“…ya…”

You set the skull down next to Yuras head and rub your hand over its smooth surface as you stare at her body, your head nested in the crook of your free arm, wrapped around your knees and sigh, frustrated that your body can’t seem to pick an emotion it wants to convey.

You close your eyes, hoping for sleep and time to fix your troubles, but your eyelids snap open moments later as you feel vibrations on the ground. Your eyes dart to Yuras body. Her back arches as she loudly gasps in air before sitting up. Her missing left arm, slowly spooling and forming as she rubs her eyes.

“Yura… you’re… alive?” you blink. “But you were all torn up!”


“Have you not been paying attention to me? That’s really quite rude Kagome. You should know by now that I’m not the sort of girl who would go down so easily on the first date. Don’t look so surprised or you’ll catch flies.”

She leaps to her feet and bends over, her hand over her eyes as she looks around, “Now hwere oh where did he go?”

>Write in (custom response)

>>36362485 if relax worked she should still be alive.. Not sure how a command of power over someone would work on a corpse.

>>36362535

You mean Sesshomaru? No idea. We were getting Inuyasha's inheritance for a while, then we trying to not get killed from some sorta hired ninja with smoke bombs and stuff.

Looks like he wasn't as thrilled as you were over the state of his hair.

You continue to gawk at her as you struggle to find the appropriate reaction. You weren’t sure what to feel upon seeing her “lifeless” moments before, but you know what you feel now. Relief. Relief that things don’t always have to be so bleak. Relief that things can still work out. Relief that you can still feel. It’s a selfish thought, but you can’t help yourself.

You rise to your feet and wrap your arms around her, pulling her in close as small beads of tears shimmer in the corners of your eyes “I’m so glad you’re ok…”

The hair demon, whos hands had been held out, gently grasps your shoulders and pushes you away back to arms length. “...Thank you?” she replies; a look of confusion plastered on her slightly reddened face.

“She’s ok.” You repeat to and reassure yourself “she’s ok.” You can’t tell if you’re going through the motions, of if it’s genuine joy you feel, but right now it doesn’t matter to you. Right now things are ok for once.

>>36363734
nah, it'll be more like giving her half our conscience and only going a little crazy. Inuyasha seems like he's acting as a grounding force for us, at least right now

If we can keep our edge at bay we may be able to convert Yura to the light side.
Of corse we'll slide right back into that type of mind set come next session though.

Cant wait for the moment when we wake up with cat ears

>>36365146
Cat ears?

If only we hadn't failed that roll to buy the fetish suit... Things would be so different.

>>36365195

>>36365207
>Cat ears for our dog boy
I want this

>>36365207
Still doesn't make sense.. why would she become a cat demon? If she did wouldn't that mean naturally opposed to a dog boy?

>>36365249
because cat ears best ears

>>36365249
Kagome has a cat and early in the quest when Snowloss was going for comedy, there was a bit with a catfetish suit.
As for why she'd evolve into a cat demon, she's got some corruption going on in her, but you're right, no reason she'd suddenly turn into Nekogome. We're so far removed from the magical realm this was leaning towards at the start it's unreal.

>>36365303
I could see her going demon. I would very much like it to happen and think that we're making progress on that front!

But the stronger full demons don't appear to have the animalistic features. Sheshomaru/Yura/various others.

I'd not through a shit fit or anything because cat ears are adorable. I just don't think I'd like a flag that obvious... totally forgot about the catsuit though.

Still dislike dog boy.

>>36365353
It doesnt really matter what we do, the longer we have the jewel inside us (Still corrupted by the way) the more demon we get, doesnt mean we become a huge assshole
Wonder what would happen when it goes into a blood moon.
Probably something lewd

>>36365353
I never forgot the suit. I kind of want to try and find an artist to draw commission to draw her in that outfit. And also because Inuyasha needs more 34. Shocked that final act didn't yield more doujins. I remember downloading those old bad scans from kazaa back in the day.

>>36365555
I'm here for the whole run. Always love to shoot the shit after. I think it's because we're used to pulling all nighters with other quests so snows average/short running time we're all still in the mood and kicking about.

>>36365590
He usually runs for a long time, but recently he's cut down... Now we know why. Hopefully we don't loose too many to Cosgroves quest tomorrow night since I think a lot of people cross read.

And is it me, or has the number of quests running and starting really dropped off in the past month?

Also how do you reckon we reason with Sango, or catch her? What reasons does Kagome have in character to spare or pursue her?

>>36365697
A lot of people move to 36-28c h a n because they were fed up with moot and the mod team, that and a mod is deleting QTGs recently

>>36365697
Pursue... she fucking attacked us. No questions just called us Prey. That's some fucked up shit right there.

I'm never for reasoning. Hugs yes... reason.. not so much. Not after you try to hit me with a giant goddamn boomerang.

I've not noticed on the quest front. I follow a whole hell of a lot of them though. Chances are if it runs I'm in it.

>>36365747
Must have missed that exodus. Much like 7, I doubt it'll last too long before dipping off to near uninhibited. If it's decent, I'd hope we move there I guess, but we'd probably lose more people than we gain and no archives.

>>36365758
She hasn't thrown the boomerang yet, but we've proven our metal so I expect her to go full Grey Fox the next time we meet.

You've not been paying attention. She's been one from the start. She's a semendemon

>>36365851
No, she only wishes she was. Or she did.
We haven't seen that side of her in like 20 threads.

>>36365823
You'll have to forgive I'm prone to exaggerate when the mc has been wronged.

>>36365913
To be honest I'm thankful for that. I don't mind smut now and again but it tends to derail entire threads when it gets up and running.

True true. I'm glad he stepped away when he did. I like the quest far more as action heavy with a pinch of horror than comedy and smut. Hoping more people jump on the train and ride it (because I love talking to you guys) but it doubt we'll get many new readers this late in the quest. It's not as much to sort through as say eclipsed moon or Peter Parker, but 20+ threads is a lot of reading to catch up on.

Running into Koga and Sango has me pretty hyped. secretly hoping they hook up and were the hell is my girl Ayame?

>>36366073
But now she has a real live boy she can molest and indulge her fantasies with.
Problem is, she's suffered a ton of trauma recently and that's a big mood killer... Unless you're Yura.

>>36366101
Clearly she should indulge those fantasies with Yura. Just tell her to relax and she'll lie back.

>>36366101
>>36366147
Dont worry next time were not being pushed around by plot and get some down time im sure something lewd will happen

>>36366258
I don't know. I kind of like it that we're being pushed forward because almost every thread feels like we accomplish something and move forward which I don't get with many other quests. Sure progress is masked behind things like "oh you made a gauntlet of face blasting" or whatever and that's the nights big thing, but it's not real progress.

On the other hand, this quest is a little weak on interaction and characterization I feel. It's sprinkled throughout here and there, but we haven't had much of an opportunity to really dive into any of the characters. A beach or coffee shop type episode could be good here, despite me usually hating filler quest sessions like that.

Then again, I come here for the fight scenes and action more than anything else so take what I say for a grain of salt.

>>36366387
I'd normally argue that downtime is good every once in awhile sometimes you need a breather. But the infrequency sort of demands the constant forward movement.

Keeping the thread alive and hoping Snow can run again tonight.

>>36365555
I went to sleep just as this finished. I do love our after quest discussion. It's something you can't do in big quests that always hit autosage

>>36369198
problem is, do we have enough left in it to keep it bumped for another 7-10 hours?

>>36367231
I don't think we need constant movement so much as constant progression. A session or two where we just sit around and get to know everyone better progresses the story without pushing us forward, and creates more tension in dangerous moments

>>36369978
True. We've been on the move constantly and we badly need some R&R, but we haven't been in a position to get that for quite some time. The bar was a decent set up for it, but then "plot" happened, filler though it may have been.

>>36366074
It does help that whenever this does get mentioned in QTG, it gets an honest rec for starting with the lewd/joke but how it quickly gets into light horror high action.

Also, holy shit, my quest is a slogfest to archive binge now, isn't it. It feels good to be reminded of how far it has come.

>>36366387

We've had a few opportunities for that, but then something happens and wrecks the "friendship time" like in the village of the sewing demon.

>>36370636
Really? I don't think I've ever seen it mentioned in the now extinct generals.

What quest do you run?

>>36370834
Ya, that's what annoyed me. I thought it would be a nice little bottle episode of us all telling drunk stories, but then it turned into a fight which was a fine, but cliche way to go... then it turned into a murder mystery which while nice reading it in the archives, I imagine was a pain to play. Then horror all of a sudden without much revelation or explanation. That session could have be so so much more. Still, I'll have to applaud the QM for trying something different.

>>36371053
Eclipsed Moon. I usually try to retweet when snow runs a thread and he's been awesomely returning the favor.

>>36371053
Hoorrrible to play. I was crying for murder and violence. Convinced we can never take a critical failure to perception again.

Demon at the end wa food rhough. Plenty of WHY!?

>>36372088
Was good though. Hate my phone.

>>36372088
Ya; wish we could have found out more about him and his roll, but we had to murder us a shitload of samurai. Damn shame we never found out their reasons or motives, but I hope it all comes back in the end in some way.

>>36372550
I'm sure we'll see it again or something similar.

>>36372708
I'm less concerned with him as I am as to why it was doing it and for who. The way it was so non-chillant about anothers suffering and torture was really godamn unnerving though. not that we were much better

>>36372831
Exactly why I loved it. We varried on a conversation with a horror and totally nonplussed.

Shows just how fargone Kagome is...

>>36372998
Carried on* we were totally nonplussed.

>>36372998
and the recent Yura thing kind of cements that in that she is completely unsure how she should feel at seeing someone she knows supposedly dead and then again when it turns out she was alive.

Makes me wonder what the crews current color alignments would be in Magic or in DnD

>>36373037
Death wasn't sure. That was optmism. Genuine care for Yura as well.

Though its scarey considering what Yura has done that we'd ignore that because she's a friend. So that leans towards evil I think? I've never put much stock in alignment charts though.

>>36373037
I would put Kagome as probably black right now, but barely. She's still pretty unaligned.

Inuyasha is RW as he is in canon. Emotional and brash, but loyal and steadfast.

Yura is RB with her whole joy through slaughter thing.

Kujo is RU. Motivated by knowledge, art, and revenge while having the calculating heart of a businessman.

We don't know Sango that well, but from what we've seen, she's either black or green.

Koga is Red, maybe RG. We don't know much.

Future Bossman seems like he's white. We know even less.

>>36373389
>Boss man white

I know nothing of magic alignment apparently.

White makes me think cannon Kagome.

>>36373389
Kagome's probably BW

>>36374020
Well hopefully we can solidify it as black. Or possibly black red.

>>36373389
I want to say Sesshomaru would be U at this point before saving Rin but I'm not that sure about MTG colors or his character.
All I remember from the show is him generally not giving a shit about naraku or the jewel.

>>36376092
Ignore plot hooks, acquire swords, become a caring surrogate father

>>36376144
In my head Sheshomaru is now that guy. Works against the party up npc child.

>>36376092
Inu's bro is pure B
Only cares about himself and obtaining power. Maybe a slight twang of red because daddy issues.

>>36375338
nah, black/white is best combo. I'd be cool with her going B/W/G or B/W/R though

>>36377417
I'll always hope/push for B or B/R

But B/W/R is probably as close as I can get.

according to his Twitter, Snow should be back pretty soon. Keeping it alive.

Side note.. if Kagome gets suck with ears where do we stand on fluffy tail?

>Just got home, please excuse me for a little while longer while I clean up and make myself a quick meal.

>>36379544
You might want to find your trip too.

>>36379684

>>36378995
According to the weather channel, it snows on the east coast in 2 days.

>>36379713
Do we need to make those for all the QMs now and not just Artemis?

>>36379790
Does he do it often? I made the one for Artemis.. suppose I'll go make another.

>>36379544

>>36379472
yes obviously
the better question iswill Inuyasha touch fluffy tail?

>>36379806
Well. Now I have a query for you, that I can't pose in QTG since QTG is dead forever. It should be fine here since Snow and Art seem to be cool with one another.

How is Eclipsed Moon? Is it worth it to archive binge over the long weekend.

>>36379967
Absolutely. I picked it up about 1/3rd of the way through.

It tends to be a bit light on combat and heavy on characterization. But that could just be my bias. I'm a fan of awful things and combat

I'm relatively invested in the story at this point and we're getting ready to spring board into a heavier/darker possibly action heavy arc.

I've never actually seen any Sailor Moon so I tend to be at a disadvantage when characters from the show arrive/pass through but it's never stopped me from enjoying it.

>>36379937
Only if he wants Kagome to hold him down while Yura scalps him.

>>36380150
Gnash?

>>36379967
Art really REALLY likes typing so if your binging it can be pretty frustrating and discouraging to see such giant text walls and if you're not familiar with Sailor Moon you can lose track of the cast once they all come into play. That said; Art KILLS it with feels, emotion, and characterization. He's sort of the Yin to Snows Yang in that Snow focuses and is better with combat and action I feel.

If you can sit down and burn through about 5 EM threads a day I'd recommend checking it out.

>>36379472
Like will we touch out own tail?

>>36380221
Yes?

>>36380252
Just checking.

>Ok, finally sitting down and writing.
Going to push it as far as I can tonight since my phone just reminded me I have to be at the mechanic's by 6 tomorrow morning for repairs so I can be on time for work. When it rains, it pours.

>>36379967
>I'd say to give it a shot. I'm still stuck around the half way mark in my binge, but I like what I've read so far. Makes me wish I was more familiar with the franchise.

>>36380349
Fortunately, it's only eight, so that leaves us a good twelve hours before you have to go.

>>36380247
Yes! The Feels!Delicious!Feels! Art nails the emotional spectrum.

Overall I'd say you've nailed it. I have been hit with the walls of text and said "Well fuck I can't pronounce these names and don't know who the hell these people are..." But I've developed an understanding of them overtime because he's capable of characterizing them.

I still tend to breeze through Omake's that don't revolve around the central characters though...

Finally, we will so touch our own tail.

>>36380304
No problem.

>>36380386
Yeah! Humans need like.. what? Four hours of sleep tops?

“I’m guessing by your expression you don’t know where he got off to then?” Yura asks

“No, we just got here, how c-“
“Holy crap, yer still ali-“

“AAAAAH! I can’t believe I let him get away!” She sighs after her momentary tantrum before wistfully looking off into the woods “I suppose it will eventually grow back, and a girl does have to have dreams to chase…”

“PAH! Good luck with that. In any case, you should count yourself lucky, he usually doesn’t let his opponents live.”

“Oh that is so cute that you care my widdle doggy woggy!” Yura remarks as she begins scratching Inuyasha behind the ears.

“Knock it off ya harpy!”

Kujo approaches you as the two demons continue to fight, stopping beside you to watch the show himself.

“So, you going after that killer tonight or what?”

>Attempt to track “assassin”
>Make camp
>Write in

>>36380638
>Attempt to track “assassin”

Now that we've got Yura we may be able to set up wire grids to lock her location down.

>>36380638
>Make camp

We got lucky that this assassin tried to take us out in a cramped space. But we might not be able to fight her off if she's trapped the forest. Might as well rest and keep an eye out for her.

>>36380638
If we're tierd settle down and be thankful Yura isnt dead.

If not lets track down that assassin.

>>36379937
and then they hold hands

>>36380638
>Attempt to track “assassin”
time to beat up another person and make them our friend

>>36380638

We need to detain her and learn WHY she is after us.

>Roll me perception (dice+1d20+2)

>>36381139
They were totally killing people, though. They killed that one drunk kid, and then they killed themselves via us. And then the other people were actually dogs anyway.

Rolled 6 + 2 (1d20 + 2)

>>36381164

>>36381180
Oh I know that.. but explaining that to the demon slayer is a totally different issue. Why can't just collar her either.

Rolled 12 + 2 (1d20 + 2)

>>36381164
Here we go again.

>>36381209
>Why can't just collar her either.
Are you sure? Because it sounds exactly like something we should do.

Rolled 11 + 2 (1d20 + 2)

>>36381164

>>36381242
Sold. Honestly though I thought those beats only worked on demons...

Rolled 15 + 2 (1d20 + 2)

>>36381164

>>36381270
I don't care if it works, I just want to put a collar a cute girl.

>>36381323
We'll we've done it once... but the collar is keyed to the mutt. So unless we know how to alter that we're in trouble.

>Writing

>>36381270
its not that they only work on demons ,they're just coded to one person. I think we technically still have Inuyasha's

>>36381347
well Sango's bleeding pretty damn badly

>>36381347
Well someones dead.

>>36381350
I don't think we know how to re-key it.

>>36381373

She's in shock that she got beaten so handily by someone. Plus bleeding.

>>36381347
Well. Either Inu is now sucking at non-combat rolls, or Sango underestimated how much blood she was loosingm

>>36381420
If it's him his nose is still clearly fucked from that cloud of gas/poison/smoke.

You mull over the question in your head. It’s obvious that she was trying to lure you into a trap, but if you stay put; it’s highly likely that she’ll come back and quite possibly bring friends. If you run, you’re just giving her time to regroup and attack again now that shes seen how you operate. No, the only option here is to take her bait. The only way to survive is to beat her and find out why she attacked and if anyone sent her.

“You’re damn right we are. Ok you two listen up!” you say, clapping your hands to get their attention. “Before we found you Yura, we were attacked by some kind of ninja woman Do you know anything about her?”

“Yura rolls her eyes upwards and crosses her arms “Hmmm… nope. The old man left shortly after the four of you did, then I followed the tall handsome one. I don’t remember any ninjas dear.”

“Ok in that case I have to assume that she either wasn’t there at the time, or she was waiting for us to get back. Inuyasha, what are the odds your brother would hire someone for b-“

“Not a chance in hell.”

“Ok then” you continue, pacing the forest floor “That leaves us with two options. Either she was an extremely skilled bandit looking for a place to sleep, which I find unlikely given the circumstances, or she or someone that hired her wants someone here. I assume alive since I saw her approaching us with rope after the first bomb. If you, your brother, and those two old demons are the only ones that know of the sword or could even hope to use it, it’s unlikely that she would be after that. That leaves me suspicious. Someone out there wants one of us and I want to know who and why, especially if this becomes a trend.”

“So, I guess we’re going after some crazy killer in the woods at night. An’t this just great.”

“If we don’t take care of this now while she’s hurt, it’s only going to get worse.”

“You DO know it’s a trap right?”

“Uh, duh; now lets get moving before that trail goes cold.”

The four of you exit the forest from the way you came and make your way towards the thicker portion near the back of the now abandoned shack. Thankfully some of the blood hasn’t dried up or diluted yet and allows Inuyasha to get a decent enough sniff to start tracking her.

The night only seems to get darker as you navigate the forest, Inuyasha stopping you and the party several times to avoid tip lines and other traps.
“I don’t like this one bit” he remarks as he gently disables another trip line “Either she planned for us ta come this way, or she’s really damn quick with setting these things up. No way we should be doen’ this in the dark were none a ya can see.”

Suddenly amidst the sounds of the deep woods, a loud female voice cries in pain. "Gotcha'." he smirks, "This way!”

The half demon rushes off, you and Yura in hot pursuit while Kujo struggles to keep up thanks to his heavyback and awkward footing. Eventually Inuyasha comes to a stop and motions for the rest of you to do the same. Sitting high in a tree is the unmistakable form of a human.

>Write in (custom action(s))

>>36382040
If we can re key those beads to her.. do it then launch them.. if now Have Inuyasha circle around looking for any other hostiles while Yura Lasso's us a Ninja.

>>36382040
Ask Yura to bring her down. Don't approach while she's tree'd.

>>36382040
>"Inuyasha, if she does something you don't like, chop down her tree,"
>"Yura, at my side,"
>"Kujo, can you lead negotiations?"
>"Ask her Which of us are you after and why?"
>prepare to dance.

>>36382040
We spread out and surround her.

>>36382102
>>36382143
Either of these.
>>36382040

>>36382040

Ask Yura to secure the area around her with hair. Not the cutting type, just enough to hamper/trap her and hopefully give Yura time to bind her tightly if she tries to run. Also to detect if there are any other people nearby who may try to interfere with this questioning.

Next, ask her name and why she tried to capture us, and who hired her.

>>36382237
Yeah that sounds good. We've already lost the element of surprise.

>>36382262
Not even sure that's her in the tree or that we've totally lost the element of surprise.. she's not aware of Yura's full capabilities as far as we know. I'm more favorable to talking once we've got her rather than when she thinks she's still got a chance.

>>36382302
I assume we've lost the element of surprise because she isn't deaf, and I don't think we made much of an effort to move silently.

>Ok it sounds like people want to try and surround the area with Yuras hair to prevent a possible escape or attack while Kagome attempts to ask her what her deal is. Inuyasha and Kujo are on stand by if she acts up.
>Sound right?

>>36382393
Kujo Inu on standby yes. Then it looks like having Yura secure the area with her hair and or dragging the target out of the tree.

>>36382393
Yup.

Yura has a fantastic power set. It's sad she got taken out so early in cannon.

>Writing

>>36382519
Yura is OP as shit.
She's a hair lich with a phylactery in her skull so she can't die unless it's broken and she is made of razor tire that's invisible to most people. She's like some Bayonetta/ Spider-Man fusion

>>36382519
>>36382597

Yeah I'd normally assume her weakness would be fire.. but she casts flames.. so not sure if that means her hair is flame retardant or what..

>>36382597
>Bayonetta
Guys
GUYS
guys
what if
guys, what if
what if we wear Yura like armor?

>>36382617
I always forget about the fire. Gods, she has a weird powerset.

>>36382657
then she would liquefy us before we could say relax

>>36382657
We're not on good enough terms with her.. Yet. It's a great idea.. once she and Kagome are besties and on a similar wave length.

>>36382657

We need to really grind those relationship links if that's ever going to happen.

Kagome may have better luck learning how to control her own hair like that.

>>36382657
Catsuit...whole new meaning.

>>36382657
[ spoiler] That's (one of) my fetish(es).

>>36382734
God damn it phone. God damn it.

>>36382747
It's okay. You're not the only one who hates phones.or who has that fetish.

>>36382706
Develops the abilities of the demons she spends the most time around? So horrible swordsmanship and screaming from Inuyasha?

>>36382762
Oh! Just think of the non combat potential if she can maintain her own body and form a suit around Kagome.

You point to Yura, then gesture up towards the trees. The hair demon quickly gets the message and begins unspooling herself; her threads silently cris-crossing the canopy. While you keep a close eye on your target. It doesn’t appear to be moving which unsettles you, regardless you motion for Inuyasha to position himself near the tree ad Kujo takes watch behind some brush.

Satisfied with your work, you walk out in front of the tree and tilt your head upward. Small slivers of starlight pierce through the tree tops, you can feel eyes on you, but the figure in the tree still shows no signs of movement.

“So, I take it you’ve come to give yourself up then?” the figure asks flatly.

“Hardly” you sneer, placing one of your hands on your hips, while pointing to the shadow “I’m here to negotiate your unconditional surrender.”

>>36383143
Ooooh Yes.

>>36383154
Thanks for running dude.

How many twenties before we hit the next social level up?

>Thanks a bunch for joining me these past two nights guys; had way more fun than I've had for a good while and holy cow does there look like some great post-quest talk. Can't wait to read it!

>As always if you have questions, comments, or concerns; fire away. Especially since GTC is apparently gone forever so now's your chance to unload. not that I ever actually browsed QTG

>>36383217
>I'm actually due for a scrubbing of the archives to retally that; but I think you've hit the next level now. I'll see if I can't go and do that this week and provide an updated character sheet.

>>36383219
As always thanks for running Snow. Definitely enjoyed this one, especially since you stopped last night when i had to sleep anyway. First time in a while that I've caught the whole thing live.

thanks for the run, excited to see whether or not we have to kill Sango. See you on friday

>>36383317
>Glad to hear you enjoyed it AND finally got to participate from start to finish. I know I've got a few people on the west coast ad overseas, so it's always good to hear when the stars align and everyone gets to hang out and play.
>That said, you guys had some damn entertaining conversation after I left last night and the next session should be pretty rad.

>>36383369
I'm interested to see how this totally not ambush goes.
Pretty disappointed the second day of the quest was so short, but it makes sense you'd end it here I guess.
Anyone else curious what the noise was?

>>36383376
Funny thing is, I'm actually east coast, but I usually have work the next morning and need a couple hours to wake up.

>>36383441
>The noise was Sango failing a constitution check after resetting her broken nose and sorry you were left wanting more. I hope that I can run longer like I used to after the new year.

>>36383542
Broken nose.. so was that Kagomes or Inuyashas doing?

>>36383571
Last thread we headbutted her in the face; so I'm guessing us.
