As the Bazelgeuse lands with thundering applaud Cell reaches into the burlap sack on his belt once more, pulling out a simple bluish sphere with a ring on one side. He pulls the ring with his opposite hand and a light *chink* and throws the grenade towards the space between the Rahi Nui and Icarax. It detonates with almost more of a pop than a boom. Cell uses Infantry Grenade targeting the Rahi Nui and Icarax for 16 damage each. 2 DR/all 15% DR/Physical Crit Meter: 4/8 Loadout:

Spicy HG shrugged. "We don't really have much information we didn't know before, just reinforcement of old things. The plan so far is still to go defeat the other two demons sealing the cave and then deal with the demon king." She looked around, suddenly realizing something missing. "Where is Mitsurugi anyway?"

"Well she isn't entirely cut from her-" She cuts herself off and jerks her head to look to the side. It occurred to her mid-sentence that likely not everyone needed to know about the sheath of Mitsurugi's blade. She slowly turned back and spoke again. "It doesn't really matter. What does is that she needs more faith, and good faith at that. I'm sure that robot Goddess wouldn't mind some either. Along with anyone else in the castle who's a divine or worships one." She got a bit of a smile on her face and clapped her hands together, rubbing them and looking the slightest bit smug. "I think. I'm going to convert one of the rooms in the castle into a Basilicom. Let anyone come setup shrines inside for whatever kind of worship or sacrifice they like."

Spicy HG sighed and slowly frown. "Yeah I've been on a couple missions with her now. She's an older diety than I am, probably a few centuries or millennia. She's also..." Spicy shook her head slowly, like someone disappointed more than sad. "I think she also believes she's on a path destined to lead her to falling. The only other person I know to go through anything remotely similar hasn't exactly done much better."

Spicy HG gives a simple bow. "Then we should be taking our leave." She glances over to Lexiel and Ako. "I'm going to go see what Mitsurugi and the new guy are up to when you're ready to catch up." With that she turns simply and wanders back down the trail to the front of the Inn. Eventually meeting where Spray, Sakuya, and the Mirror were standing. "What's all this?"

Spicy HG nods in response. "Thank you. Is there anything else before we return to our quest?"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Traverse Town~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is a great rumble, not unlike an earthquake. Powerful enough to be felt by anyone regardless of location and continues for several moments before stopping. Leo and Enma notice some shingles falling loose, and Enma's sensors detect the rumbling coming from a distinctly lateral direction, not underground. Francis notices odd streaking and streching lines through his vision until the quaking finally stops. A wave of murmur passes over the bar, followed by several patrons standing to leave and most returning to their business. Satomi and Kusuke don't notice much from inside the accessory shop, though the man behind the counter does look up, slightly puzzled. "That can't be good. Only happens when the city needs more space...I probably don't have to tell you two why a bunch of refugees from a another world is bad?" Takumi feels a hum from the mural, something almost....singing? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The WeatherLight~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mirri and Law are perhaps surprised when the ship powers up of its own accord, panels and doors closing and sealing automatically. Two short rides later and the ship finally docks itself once more, and the transit portal to Traverse Town opens. Allowing myriad creature and monster to pour out.

"We're looking for the descendant of Nagi, who helped Amaterasu in defeating the Demon King before. We believe he lives in Kamiki under the name Susano, but if you could help us finding him faster that would be greatly appreciated."

Cell whips around as the Rahi Nui bounces off his shield, letting his blade drag along its side as it charges. Pausing for a moment he takes in Tsubasa trading blows with Icarax. A short gesture later he summons an aura of whipping razor sharp winds. (Free action) Cell counterattacks the Rahi Nui for 8d6+16 damage. Cell uses Aura of Laceration on himself, Tsubasa, and Edmond granting each 5 DR/all and 5 thorns vs melee for four rounds. 2 DR/all 15% DR/Physical Crit Meter: 4/8 Loadout:

Spicy HG gave the proprietor of the Inn and clan leader a bow once they had approached. "You have a beautiful Inn here, we were happy to help rid it of such demons." She straightened up fully, changing her tone a demeanor in the ways that show one's great practice in giving many long leading speeches and statements. "We three Great Kami and our companions are in search of demons and the greater beings they may be in league with. Have you any knowledge of such?"

The man disappears up the ladder for a few minutes before coming back into the room through the front door. "I don't know where you want'em but I left the crates in the yard. You can use the dolley to move them if you like." Glancing outside Satomi and Kusuke see four heavy-looking wooden crates on a dolley.

Spicy HG enjoyed the scenery as they past, watching the animals lounging about as they passed with a smile. She stayed silent during the exchange with the two birds, but looked to Ako after they finished. "So who is this Great Boss Jamba?"

As the Rahi Nui huffs and snorts Cell turns to face it, drawing his blade and shield, the red metal and off-set black cross catching sun as he brought his sword to rest on the edge. Cell prepares to Parry against the Rahi Nui! 2 DR/all 15% DR/Physical Crit Meter: 3/8 Loadout:

Spicy HG watched curiously as Ako dealt with the demonic doorway. She nodded once at the request to go first. "Gladly. You know I've been thinking. Mitsurugi seems very familiar with this world, its traditions and expectations, I imagine it must be very similar to her own-" She stepped up, and with a flick lit the blade of her weapon to use as a torch to light their way through the tunnel. "And I can't help but feel a certain familiarity as well, but everything is just so...ancient here."

Spicy HG frowned as Mitsurugi left. She felt like she of all people ought to be able to help her, but the shear weight of sorrow on her shoulders left Spicy HG with no real place to start. She stepped over to the still-smoking essence of the demon they had dispatched and pulled it up for safe keeping. Surely she could manage to do something with it later. She also grabbed anything else anyone was disinterested in taking for themselves before turning back towards the lift and following Ako. "Mind come along? I'm interested to see what parts of the inn there are that I haven't had to set on fire."
