[Trespassers V2 Subplot] Okami: Stains upon the Canvas

Vulture Inn

"Lexiel's right. It's a lot more about the intent than the actual attack. Though it helps to have tools designed to hunt Yokai like I do" Ako commented as she made her way of the stairs, a flick of her wist snapping a slip of paper to her hand as if to prove her point before shoving it back into her sleeve, "I'm Ako, by the way. It's a pleasure to meet another warrior chosen by Mother Amaterasu" she added with a bow, waiting for the others to ascend to her level while Spicy slipped into the elevator... Though, it was more of a wooden lift than a full, modern elevator.

Unfortunately, it was rather cramped in the elevator, due to it not being designed to hold so many people at one. But, with only a bit of effort, the group was able to fit themselves in with just enough space to act if they needed to. Though the quiet was unnerving and worrisome, nothing tried to attack them during their ascent up the Inn. This lasted until they finally reached their stop, the wooden doors sliding open to assault them all with a mixture of incense and smoke. The room the lift brought them to was a throne room of sorts, a long hall with cushions lined up as chairs, along with incense pots and candles burning within hollow bamboo stands alongside the walls. However, what was most noticeable was the inhabitants of the room.

Two Ubume stood at the end of the hall, weapons held at their sides as they stood at attention. Several imps also scattered the hall, each playing their instrument in a discordant song, seemingly unaware of the new visitors. Next to the throne, asleep and peaceful, was what appeared to be a lion-like demon with wooden limbs, a long spiked tail, and a large, transparent pink bud containing a red orb hovering inside of it. And then, on the throne itself, was a woman dressed in a black mourning dress, lounging upon her chair with a pipe in hand, along with wild black hair that fell all around her and spilled onto the floor. Somehow, despite the lighting of the room, the woman's face was shrouded in darkness, the only visible portion being piercing red eyes that bore into the group as they exited the lift.

"Hm, you are by far the loudest guests I've ever had. Tell me, what brings you here to my inn? Because I doubt you're wanting to book a room for the night" the woman commented, taking a breath of her pipe, voice filled with idle curiosity rather than fear at the several armed individuals entering her domain.

"Our purpose should be clear, youkai." Mitsurugi maintained an even tone as she spoke, despite her inner turmoil. "This is a place of refuge for humans, and I intend to ensure it stays one." She did not draw her weapon yet; even in this, there were certain formalities to observe. "I will offer this one chance to leave this place and renounce your connection to Yamata-no-Orochi."

AzyWng · July 3, 2020

While he didn't say anything (he preferred to leave this sort of conversation to others), Spray nodded at Mitsurugi's words, and switched off the safety of his Type 85. Wasn't his first time out, and if things got violent, he'd need to be ready.

Spicy HG stood waiting patiently, not having much to add of her own.

"Yes yes, you're exterminators determined to do your foolhardy job and kill any demon that tries to make a living. I noticed as soon as the Miko walked in, but I suppose civility is all but dead these days" the woman replied with a bored tone, red eye never leaving the group even as she let out a sigh, "For your information, I have not harmed a single human since I came here, nor do I plan to bar the common folk from entering and staying at the Inn. All you see here is a change in management, nothing more, nothing less-"

"And what of the Sparrow Clan? How come a youkai has taken up refuge in their pride and joy, much less one fueling the Moon Cave's barrier?" Ako interrupted, taking a step forward and whipping out the demonic slip she had created from within her sleeves, holding it up for the demons of the room to see. Though a slight chill had come through the room at Mitsu's mention of the word 'Orochi', it was nothing compared to the pure darkness of the slip as it radiated with malicious energy, a dull purple light seemingly fixated on the woman seated in the throne ahead. Thankfully, before the presence could get too powerful, Ako slipped the seal back to its hiding place, an act that left the woman quiet for a few moments before she spoke again.

"... You two ladies have guts, I'll give you that. To answer your first question, the old Boss made a deal with me many years ago to help their business. I had hoped that they would uphold their part of the deal, but they attempted to cheat me out of my part, so I had to be a bit more rough than I would've like" the youkai answered, her still bored tone and casual smoke indicating that she didn't exactly care if she had to get rough, "Unfortunately I cannot just 'revoke' my connection to Demon Lord, it's an inherit part of all demons that manifested during his rule. I'm sure the Shrine Maiden can handle the barrier once the Samurai and Fish are dealt with, can't you dear?"

Chevaleresse · July 17, 2020

Mitsurugi was quiet for a moment, considering the youkai's words. Youkai were dark creatures, yes, but at least where she was from, they were keen on oaths and contracts. It was unlikely this woman was lying. . . but not impossible. "And just as you are deeply connected, as you say, I, too, cannot disobey my nature. It is my purpose, among other things, to protect humans from youkai." Her eyes narrowed slightly. "I will ask you another question: why should I believe that a place such as this run by vengeful spirits would not mean ill towards the humans tempted into resting here? You may have no intention of harming them directly, but it is the nature of a youkai to hunt humans. It will happen."

DragonRage · July 17, 2020

"I see. It's the classic Orzhov trick. Make a deal that seems more favorable than it is, wait for your mark to realize this and try to escape or be forced to default, invoke the penalty clause, and fleece them for everything they have," Lexiel sighs, "You could have at least been creative," She rolls her neck, and feeds mana into her focusing gauntlet, lighting up the Izzet sigil on the side as she prepares her spells, "You're supporting a bringer of mass destruction, you're a con woman, and you're a liar; you said you had no intention to hurt people and that you already had in the same statement. Let's just skip the part where you try to feed us more lies and get to the part where things get done. You can revoke your connection to the Demon Lord willingly, or we will revoke it for you."

AzyWng · July 17, 2020

If that was how the angel lady was going to handle things, Spray decided he may as well chip in. He raised his SMG up to the ready position, aimed straight at the red-eyed woman, finger on the trigger. After a moment to clear his throat, he began.

"The more you waste our time with your 'civility', the more time the Demon Lord has to resurrect. Now, the reason I was brought here was because no matter what we do to stop him..." Pointedly leaving out the words, 'To you, for instance', "It won't be as bad as what'll happen if he starts roaming this place freely. So I'm going to give you two options: You can either cooperate, or you can be added to the list of casualties. Do you understand?"

GodofGamingRWBY · July 17, 2020

Vulture Inn

Though Ako was more than willing to speak, anything she would’ve said died in her throat as Mitsu and Lexiel spoke their terms, a certain glint appearing in the Youkai’s eyes that seemed to be a mixture of both amusement and annoyance, “Quite presumptuous, don’t you think? Here I thought Tennin were more of the negotiating type” the Youkai stated, placing her pipe on the throne as she moved to an actual proper position, dismissing the ‘band’ of Imps with a wave of her hand, the lesser demons quickly making their leave to avoid getting caught up in the coming fight. The Ubume remained still, even as the Youkai stood from her chair, but the creature that slept at her heels awoke thanks to her movement, immediately uncurling and rising to its feet.

“I’ll admit, it’s been quite some time since I’ve been threatened so brazenly, and in my own place of business no less. But, if that’s how you wish to be…” she continued, pulling out a pair of steel fans bringing one to her face and fanning it out to obscure it, even as it continued to be shrouded in darkness. At once though, each candle in the room suddenly went out, the incense seeming to burn with greater intensity as the volumes of the Youkai’s black hair began to rise and wave through the air as if she were underwater.

And then, with a snap, the fan closed. Where once were red eyes surrounded by a dark void, there was now a fanged, grinning mask, painted in elaborate patterns of red and black paint. Though her red eyes still shone within the pits of darkness, it was clear that they were far more feral.

“I’ll simply decorate this room with your blood as payment.”

Kino and Enma

Their initially civil, if mostly ominous, introduction to the inn had ended up culminated common deception heard in youkai folktales and even other stories meant to scare and teach children back in the twins' youth. Their company (both spiritual and non-spiritual) aside, the feral host's ravenous remark bore no threat, for Kino and her kin no longer had blood to give, even if her frail, withered body were to be torn apart like rags for her adversaries' leisure.

Despite Enma's initial fear, the masked figure and what remained of the demons seemed to scare her less than the haunting memories that filled the place, and a day's worth of reaping and claiming would largely offset what remained of her apprehension.

Bad service, Enma pouted.

Perhaps you'd like to file a complaint. In a rare moment, Kino found it in herself to make that amusing remark, earning a giggle from her sister: it was quickly replaced by a wave of undying excitement that was roaring within her and her kin even as it ate away at her sister with each waking moment.

And it would be them who could claim payment for their poor reception.

Kino (75/100)

Enma (70/70)

Kino unleashes her Revelation of spirits, the feedback of the incantation stripping her of 25% of her maximum health.

Enma attacks Ubume 2, dealing 1d6 + INT(9) damage to it, and marking it with Entente of Malice, which will empower Kino's next attack dealt to it.

Plenty of conversations went that way in the mercenary business. They generally didn't involve masks that looked like they came from a Broadway horror show, but still - this was something Spray knew how to handle.

First order of business. Spray aimed and let out a few bursts of his Type 85, shouting at the katana-wielding lady, "Come on! Let's show 'em what we got!"

Keep the enemy's head down while pumping one's ally up. He'd done this before.

He definitely wasn't out of his depth...

Right?

Spray uses Suppressing Fire on the Onryō, preventing them from attacking for one turn! He also heals Mitsurugi for 10 HP!]

Mot springs into action, putting a bullet into the Ubume to the Onryo’s left, dealing 50 damage before it can bring its umbrella up to defend itself.

In the same instant that Mitsu dashed towards the Yokai, the Onyro did the same, steel fans slashing at Mitsu for only an instant before it moved away, practically teleporting between its targets in an elaborate dance, dealing 31, 21 (reduced to 15), and 31 damage to Mitsu, Lexiel, and Ako respectively.

Though the Onryo was only at her side for an instant, that instant was enough for Mitsu to get her own counter in, before moving on to the rest, dealing 21, 20, 20, 21 damage to the Onryo, Ubumes, and Bud Ogre. Oddly enough, the Bud Ogre barely seemed to flinch as Mitsu slashed at its face, only showing the slightest sign of pain when her sword cut into the large “flower” on its back.

With their master now in action, the Ubume spring forward themselves, swords quickly drawn from their umbrellas as they advanced, slashing at Spray and Ako for 31 and 21 damage each.

Spicy herself makes her move shortly after the first Ubume struck at Spray, quickly overwhelming any defenses it might’ve had with 15 attacks, dealing a total of 90 damage.

Despite its initial lack of a physical response, the Bud Ogre roared at Mitsu, spinning in place so that its spiked tail into Mitsu’s side just as she came to a stop, dealing another 28 damage.

Though reeling from the two deep cuts both the Onryo and Ubume made against her, Ako focused on her own duties, quickly throwing a Recovery Slip at the Goddess of Calamities, healing her for 23 HP, while a flurry of sakura petals flew around herself, healing herself for 12 HP.

Spray shouts out his inspiring lines to Mitsu, healing the Goddess for another 10 HP, just before aiming his rifle at the now still Onryo, opening fire upon it. The Onryo, much to his (possible) surprise, merely swung its fans, quickly deflecting each bullet fired at it with precision and grace. Not that he was actually attempting to hit her, just keep her distracted…

Lexiel takes the time to fill herself with hope, granting her First Strike on her next turn.

Kino summons her sister from the beyond, sacrificing 22 HP to do so, but allowing Enma to quickly stab the second Ubume, dealing 10 damage and marking it for her sister.

Spicy HG glanced between the Ubume she'd just finished assaulting and the Demon Mitsu was hammering. In a snap judgement she left the weaker wounded enemy to attack the larger threat.

"Mitsurugi, let's finish this!"
She flung herself forwards again, dashing to strike the Onryō a dozen or more times.

Spicy HG uses Coupling Attack!

Spicy HG attacks the Onryō with Rush Technique 4d4+4 times for 5 damage each. Her first hit deals an extra 3d4 Fire damage.

Mitsurugi may make a 0 cooldown action or equipment attack against the Onryō and deals an extra 3d4 Wind damage on her first hit.

Michael Mot uses Ten Men Dead on Ubume 2, dealing (5d10+Dex+Initiative)+5% damage to it!, and adding one mortality stack to himself.

Kino and Enma

Enma attacks the Onyro, dealing 1d6 + INT(9) damage to it, and marking it with Entente of Malice, which will empower Kino's next attack dealt to it.

Kino casts Debilitate onto the Onyro, dealing 3d6 + INT + INT/2 + 2 (3d6 + 15) damage. This consumes Entente of Malice, and causes the Onyro to deal 10% less damage for two turns. Kino and her summons' attacks maintain the debuff, and the debuff can stack up to thrice when used consecutively. 3 turn cooldown.

Cooldown/Ability usage:

Pact of the Harrowing (Passive) (5 AP)

While Enma is active on the battlefield, Kino and her summoned kin share mutually beneficial bonus passive effects.

Base: Enma’s Basic Attack applies Entente of Malice onto her target, causing Kino’s next non-summoning damaging action against that target to consume the mark and deal INT/2 bonus damage. This passive effect has a 1 turn cooldown.

Level 2: Kino restores SYN/2 health to herself whenever Entente of Malice is triggered.

Level 3: Kino and Enma restore SYN/2 health respectively whenever Entente of Malice is triggered.

Debilitate is on a 3-turn cooldown.

Debilitate (Active) (5 AP)

Kino commands a horde of her released spirits to surround and harass an enemy, dealing 3d6 + INT damage and causing the target to deal 10% less damage for two turns. Repetitive uses of Debilitate on the same target refresh the cooldown of the debuff. 3 turn cooldown.

Level 2: Debilitate’s debuff can be refreshed by the rest of Kino or Enma’s non-summoning damaging actions.

Level 3: Debilitate can be applied up to twice onto the same target, with the debuff stacking additively.

Level 4: Debilitate can be applied up to thrice onto the same target, with the debuff stacking additively.

Relevant combat perks:

Remnant: Kills on an enemy by any source, one per turn, restore Kino and Enma's health by SYN (9) and reduce Kino's cooldowns by one.

Unholy Covenant: Healing dealt to Kino and her summons by foreign sources only have 20% of their original value.

Before everything went to chaos as it normally did, Lexiel quickly summons a Soul Warden, the good lad’s arrival reinvigorating the party (and healing 5 hp as an added bonus).

Doing as he normally does, Mot continues to drive within the confines of the room, putting another bullet into an Ubume for 63 damage, additionally gaining another Mortality stack.

“Spare me your lectures. The broken remains of a god has nothing to offer” the Onryo spat back, flicking its arm to the side, splattering a slight amount of blood onto the ground, all while still deflecting the bullets that kept coming towards it. Then, suddenly, the Onryo slammed its foot down, an aura of wind whirling around her and deflecting the various bullets on their own accord, as well as giving it a 15% damage reduction, red eyes glaring at Spray from beneath the Onryo’s mask, “ENOUGH OF YOUR GAIJIN CRAFT!”

As the Onryo turned her attention to Spray’s gunfire, Mitsu made her move, disappearing in a burst of wind and beginning a swift assault on the yokai., dealing 132 damage in her initial flurry. But, in the instant she backed off, Mitsu would easily note Spicy’s own offensive, giving her yet another opening to take advantage of. Said opening was quickly taken, another sword swipe dealing 53 damage at the raging yokai, her blades tearing through the aura of wind that tried to protect it.

The Ubumes, upon seeing Lexiel summon a new, fairly divine entity, take it upon themselves to take care of a potential problem at its source, gliding right over the floor and slashing at Lexiel twice, dealing 19 and 25 damage each as Lexiel manages to avoid the worst of their blades.

Spicy, meanwhile, begins her rapid strikes, slashing at the Onryo 15 times for a total of 73 damage. (91 for lily rank roll)

Drawn to the residual divine energy coming from the Shrine Maiden, the Bud Ogre charges her, jumping at and slashing down at Ako, dealing a hefty 28 damage.

Ako, for her part, reacted fairly quickly despite being nearly torn open by the Ogre, slapping a Purification slip onto the demon’s forehead. Shortly after, the slip shone with a bright light, arcs of what seemed like electricity swiftly coursing across the ogre’s body, dealing 28 damage (19 vs 8) and causing the ogre to fall over, the large plant on its back opening up to reveal a floating ‘fruit’ within.

Thankfully for her, Spray managed to make his way over to her, doing a bit of quick patchwork on her wounds and healing her for 18 HP, “Thank you, I appreciate it…”

Enma and Kino, while the Onryo still recovers from the rapid assault that was forced upon it, join in with said rapid assault, Kino smacking the Onryo for 10 damage and inflicting an Entente of Malice, which is quickly consumed by Enma, hitting the Onryo for another 22 damage and debilitating it.

Chevaleresse · November 11, 2020

"You are correct: nothingness is all I have to offer a creature such as yourself." Mitsurugi closed her eyes, gathering herself. "Broken I may be, but there is yet still a core to my being. You are naught but shapeless vengeance, cloaked in tragedy, offering nothing but desolation and fear." Sensing the ubume striking out at Lexiel, she moved to deliver her own counterstroke, blade tracing a brilliant line through the air with fluid grace.

Attack Ubume 1 for 3d8+14+11+38 damage!
