[Trespassers V2 Subplot] Okami: Stains upon the Canvas

Noir · February 9, 2019

Kino and Enma

Look familiar, sister? Enma asked as she scanned the simian-esque creatures that swarmed before the group, and the music made them out as if they were a marching band of the animal kingdom; the very thought amused her.

I think not, she answered telepathically. She had yet to see any beasts in her lifetime like that of which had now gathered before them, but that did not mean she would let her guard down. Nonetheless, perhaps you would enjoy yourself for this instance.

You bet!

And the two sisters prepared themselves for a battle amidst the familiar land.

Kino (71/95)

Enma (65/65)

Kino unleashes the Debarred Eulogy, splitting Enma from her in a ghostly apparition to fight by her side, costing 1/4th of Kino's maximum health.

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

"I recall someone mocking the 'petty theatrics' of the darkness that came upon uttering the name of a dark god, yet cautioning me to take care with the mechanics of an unfamiliar world." Mitsurugi took a look around, assessing their foes. Lesser demons, not much to be afraid of, though it seemed that the gashudakuro they were seeking may have found them instead. Troubling, but not unexpected. Perhaps Lexiel's oafishness was playing to their advantage in this case. The goddess took one calm step forward, then suddenly leapt through the air, darting forth at the yellow beast and striking it in succession with both blades.

Mitsurugi attacks with her daisho, dealing 5d6+DEX (14)+SYN (14), 20% more damage to spirits. 15% ailment resistance chance.

"Well, I'll be damned. It's a bunch of monkey's uncles! Though I reckon they ain't exactly the sociable types." Sorina reaches a hand back and grabs the butt of a large gun. Sorina hold a long barrel of fleshy blue steel that ends in a maw of teeth. The head of a shark seamlessly blends with the barrel of a minigun whose sole purpose in this moment is to spray a ray of death towards one of the green imps.

A quick expression of disgust flashes across her face as she pulls out a golf ball sized, only slightly rotted toenail. After a brief deliberation with herself, she re-pockets it. Maybe whatever these creatures are happen to be particularly proficient at dying.

Sorina pulls out the MiniShark, preloaded with Silver Bullets and deals 5d4+[Str]12+[Int/2]6+10% gun damage increase towards a Green Imp.

Loadout

Level 1 - Deals 4d6+Dex damage to one target, reduces the user’s Init by 12-[Str].

+12% Physical(non-magic/energy) damage resistance, reduce Init by 8-[Str](minimum 0).

Pale Horse: A seemingly sentient motorcycle that he can never seem to shake off, it has currently decided that it wants to be a bone white Kawasaki Ninja, a series of stripes that form a rainbow can be seen on both sides of it. The motorcycle does it's best to follow Michael everywhere he goes, and it resists all methods of tampering with it. No matter what happens, the motorcycle will be there, watching.
+9 Init, user gains a 50%-([Dex]*5) miss chance while equipped.

Mot swiftly jumped on the saddle of his trusty steed the moment he saw a monkey spin out of the ground, and he pulled out his gun and casually put a bullet between the yellow monkey's eyes he opined, "Awfully nice of them to telegraph their attack so far in advance, 'course that's probably how they got the big feller to follow them here,".

Mot uses Ten Men Dead Before I could Blink on the Yellow Imp, dealing 5d10+12+21 damage that can't miss, gaining a stack of Patience from his Edge of Death Perk, and taunting them with his The Duelist Perk.

Battle Theme

Spoiler

Mot jumps on his “horse”, then shoots the Yellow Imp in the face for a hefty 70 damage. It’s not dead, but it’s certainly wounded. And a bit angry at him as well.

And then, before the Yellow Imp managed to take a step towards the gunslinger, the Goddess of Calamity herself had launched herself at it, her slash managing to split the creature in half for a second before the two parts put themselves back together, taking 54 damage from her attack. It was still alive, but now it seemed close to death.

Meanwhile, Spicy HG charges the Red Imp closest to her, being the one coming from the path, causing the Imp to raise its guitar as a shield as she went to town on it, slashing at it 11 times, shattering the shield into pieces with the first six hits, before carving into the poor Imp with the other six, dealing 25 damage. The Imp is wounded, but it’s clearly still willing to go.

The Green Imps charge forth, two of them gunning for the Goddess Mitsu, while the other two went for Sorina and Mot respectively. The first two slash at Mitsu, dealing 7 and 10 damage respectively (17), while the others deal 10 damage to both Sorina and Mot.

Sorina pulls out her Minishark, then blasts the Green Imp in front of her, a respectful explosion dealing 23 damage to the poor demon.

The two Red Imps begin their own advances, the one stabbed by Spicy clawing at the Goddess, dealing 12 damage to her, while the other goes for Lexiel, pulling the guitar off its back as it jumped in the air, slamming it down upon her when it came back down, dealing 17 damage.

With a screech, the Yellow Imp grabs the drum off its back, slamming it onto the ground in front of it… Before simply jumping on top as it spun around, digging itself back into the ground.

Lexiel summons her first minion, the Soul Warden, healing everyone in the encounter for 5 HP!

Kino summons her dead sister (which let's Lexiel heal everyone for another 5 HP), who then attempts to strike at the Yellow Imp. Problem was, it was underground, and moving rather quickly for something that was digging via drum.

At that point, another large, skeletal hand rose from the cliffside, grasping at the ground, quickly finding a foothold that allowed the two hands to pull the rest of the body up. As expected, a large humanoid skeleton was what rose over the cliff side, but with burning red eyes, and a flaming core, two large swords stuck in its ribcage. Then, with what appeared like a silent roar, the demon lifted both of its arms, then drew both of the swords.

Shortly after, two new demons flew up behind the Gashadokuro… Appearing as human sized Koi, wearing a robe and geta, and having two large fins acting like wings.

Ako

For the most part, Ako didn’t require much for her travels. Just her collection of prayer slips (blank or not), a small amount of Yen so she could buy things in emergencies, her ink pots, and then her brush. It wasn’t much, but it was all she personally needed.

So, with her things in order, Ako headed out, offering one small prayer to Amaterasu before she opened the door of the Shrine-

And saw demons, including a Gashadokuro, right on what was practically her front lawn.

“... Huh” was all Ako could really say to the sight, before she drew three prayer slips, each between her fingers, and ran out to assist.

Ako and the Gashadokuro have joined the fight. With Ako joining, Lexiel heals the party for another 5 HP!

And that would be their gashadokuro friend, as she had suspected. Convenient, if worrying that it was willing to approach this shrine. One would think the presence of the local shrine maiden would have discouraged the thing's presence; these were times where "extermination" didn't imply tea and cookies. She nodded at Spicy's words, putting the burrowing imp to the side for a moment mentally - it would be making an issue of itself shortly, but one needed priorities. She darted towards the beast, a faint telltale shimmer of divine power surrounding her larger blade as she slashed upward at the thing in tandem with Spicy. She made her own followup strike, a rising slash that left her hanging in the air above the thing to survey the damage she had dealt, before she made another attack in rapid succession, returning to ground quickly enough to nearly defy sight and pausing briefly at her landing. Her blade rang with the repeated impacts upon the thing's twisted bones as she turned to face it once more.

Mitsurugi uses her free attack to strike with her Blade of the Phantom Moon, and then uses Shukuchi to strike two more times, dealing a total of 3 attacks at [5d6+14 (DEX)+14 (SYN)+16 (from perk)] = 5d6 + 44 damage, all targeted at the Gashadokuro. (total damage is 15d6+132)

Mot let out a slight sigh as he rode off with his motorcycle and drove off towards the Dead Fish at break neck speeds, before he stood up and fired his six shooter at the closest one, causing a loud explosion to be heard just before the man quickly popped a wheelie and turned his entire rig around.

Mot uses Ten Men Dead Before I could Blink on Dead Fish 1, dealing a modest (5d10+12+21)+5% damage and gaining another patience stack.

DragonRage · February 17, 2019

Lexiel casts Lightning Helix, dealing 1d4 + 6 damage to the Yellow Imp, and healing Mitsu 1d4 + 6 HP.

Soul Warden: 12/12 HP, deals 5 damage when attacking by whacking the enemy with its staff. Body-blocks attacks made on whoever it is blocking for, and counters all attacks that damage it with its own attack, even if the damage kills it, even if it isn't currently blocking. When the Soul Warden or another ally, foe, or summon enters the encounter, heal Lexiel, her allies, and her summons 5 HP apiece. CURRENTLY BLOCKING FOR LEXIEL.

Spoiler

Lexiel's Perks:

Spoiler

Power of the Land: Whenever Lexiel begins a round, she gains a mana bond, even if she is prevented from acting. Lexiel’s actions all have a mana cost, and cannot be used unless she has at least that many mana bonds. However, the more mana required to use them, the stronger they are, and some have effects that scale with the number of bonds she has. Mana bonds are not retained between encounters.

Adept Summoner: Lexiel can summon creatures using raw aether and stored patterns. These creatures will have a basic attack, and the ability to body-block actions for allies. When they are summoned, Lexiel orders them to attack target enemy or block for target ally, and they will do so until she changes her orders using the perk-backed action ‘master warcraft’ or they die. Some creatures have extra abilities, which can be used without altering their orders. Lexiel’s creatures can block for her. Blocking creatures counterattack with their basic attack while taking damage. Summons’ action effects are determined by Lexiel’s stats and mana bonds. Lexiel’s summons can’t attack on the turn they are summoned; if given an attack order, they start attacking on her next turn. Creature summons are spells. Lexiel’s summons share her initiative.

Strike Captain: Some of Lexiel’s summons are more than just aether and imagination. They are unique. They are heroes. They are legends. Legendary creatures are not easy to summon. Each one has a Champion cost, which is the number of lesser creatures that must be sacrificed to call them. And each one can only be summoned once per encounter. However, legendary creatures have good stats, powerful abilities, and autonomy. They can act as they choose or by Lexiel’s orders without relying on ‘master warcraft’. Legendary creatures can have special ‘ultimate’ abilities, which can only be used if Lexiel sacrifices mana bonds to fuel them. Once per plot, Lexiel can create a contract with a willing NPC to produce a legendary summon action without spending AP. Contracting a legendary summon in this way requires a crafting token.

Spell Library: Lexiel can keep any number of actions memorized at a time, irrespective of her action slots. However, all her actions can only be levelled up through crafting tokens (3 per upgrade), and they all have cooldowns equal to their mana cost or champion cost, whichever they have (though spells with champion costs can only be cast once per encounter anyway). Equipment is exempt from this perk’s effects and doesn’t need a mana cost; however, Lexiel only gets three action slots to put them in.

Unstable Balance (Flaw): Lexiel’s nature is a delicate balance between darkness and light, order and chaos, past and future. She’s also recovering from a long-term infection/infestation by Phyrexian oil, Reaper nanites, and an acute case of PTSD. Corruptive attacks deal 50% more damage to her compromised defenses, and any status they inflict lasts 50% longer than usual.

Lexiel's Actions:

Spoiler

The Doomfist (Equipment): The legendary left-handed gauntlet of the mighty Doomfist, said to be able to level skyscrapers with a single punch.

-Level 1: A mighty punch to the face deals 1d6 + strength damage and banishes the target for 1 round. Banished targets can neither affect nor be affected by anything but themselves. 4 round cooldown.

-Level 2 (AP): The damage is increased to 2d6 + strength.

Overwatch-Issue Body Armor: This tough, sky blue armor is light and bullet resistant.

-Level 1: As long as Lexiel has more HP left than half her MHP, reduce damage received by 5%.

-Level 2: The damage reduction while over the HP threshold is increased to 10%.

Recall Nobunaga (Champion 3, red, white, and blue): Lexiel calls in an old friend from her adventures with the Trespassers squad, former Archer-class servant Oda Nobunaga, to annihilate supernatural threats with her potent attacks. Contracted during the Fate plot.

Recall Feather (Champion 6, red and white): Lexiel calls in her old friend and mentor, former Boros guildmistress Piera’kor vas Vinrenn D’rav, to show the enemy why they should have respected the law.

Battle Theme

Spoiler

With new, dead fish flying in the air, Mot fires at one of them with his gun, dealing a heavy 63 damage. And, not only did he put a new hole in the creature, specifically through the eye, he also managed to put a hole in one of its wings, sending it crashing into the ground.

Mitsurugi and Spicy, on the other hand, began slashing at the towering skeleton, which seemed to let out a silent groan as it began turning to the two. However, before it could do anything, Mitsurugi rapidly struck at its ribcage, the cursed bones groaning at the impacts as she dealt 231 damage in total. And, during Mitsu’s assault, Spicy unleashed another flurry of blows, hitting the Gashadokuro’s torso 12 times to deal 65 damage.

The two Green Imps that attacked Mitsu seemed pretty proud of themselves to striking a Goddess… Only to watch as she practically ignored them, running the Gashadokuro. For a split second, they gave each other a confused look, mostly accomplished by the tilt of their heads, before splitting up, one chasing after Mitsu, while the other went for Spicy. The others focus on Mot and the new ghost, Enma. Shortly after they went for their targets, each began slashing at them, dealing 10, 11, 9, and 10 damage to Mitsu, Spicy, Mot, and Enma respectively.

Ako pulls out two new slips, then throws them at both Mitsurugi and Mot. The prayer slips stop in midair, just before hitting the two, and begin floating around them as a nearly invisible shield begins to develop around them. Mot and Mitsu both gain 1+15% damage reduction for two rounds.

The Red Imp that struck at Lexiel seems startled at the appearance of Soul Warden, hastily pulling back its guitar… Before lifting it above its shoulder, and bashing the summon, dealing 11 damage, though getting hit back for 5 damage. The other, ignores the fact that Spicy ran right past it… Instead choosing to get the fuck outta there.

The still flying Dead Fish reaches behind itself, grabbing its fin-wings before throwing them like boomerangs, both slashing at Ako to deal 13 damage, before grabbing both when they flew back, placing the two back on its back as if nothing had happened. The other, however, quickly gets up from the ground and, sensing the most noticeable presence around it, scrambled over to Mitsurugi, jumping into the air and latching onto the goddess as soon as she hit the ground.

The ground rumbles again, an otherworldly drum banging itself as the Yellow Imp burrowed back to the surface… Behind Mot, following the latter’s motorcycle movements. As soon as its feet touched the ground, the Imp grabbed its drum, holding it on its shoulder as the front portion opened up. Then, it fired like a cannon, blasting Mot for 42 damage. Thankfully, the slip Ako set up managed to hold itself against most of the blast, but a simple slip of divine paper could only do so much.

Lexiel zaps the newly emerged Yellow Imp for 10 damage, healing Mitsu at the same time for 8 HP.

Kino starts talking about resentment, summoning two Wraith Howlers (and healing everyone for 10 HP thanks to Lexiel’s Soul Warden). Said Howlers, along with Enma, charge the poor Green Imp 4, hitting it multiple times to deal 18 damage in total, and marking it with MALICE.

The Gashadokuro lets out another silent roar, before pulling back one of its arms. Then, it lets out a gigantic slash across the entire battlefield, completely demolishing the bell in front of the shrine and dealing 42 damage to everyone (Mot takes 35 damage, and Mitsurugi takes 43 damage). The Soul Warden blocks as much damage as it can, but ultimately it broken by the Gahsadokuro’s slash, though it manages to throw its weapon at the Gashadokuro, the weapon bouncing off its head for 5 damage.

Sorina accidentally zones out for a round, astounded by the extreme impact and power of those who she has found company with. And also the immense power of the giant skeletal creature knocking the entire battlefield down a peg.

Coming back to her senses, she adjusts the aim of the MiniShark at the Gashadokuro's center. After letting loose a flurry of bullets, she wordlessly and reluctantly realizes that this is a fight that will not end quickly.

The toenail reemerges from her pocket and with one last regretful look at it, she takes a large bite out of the rotting and molding toenail from who-knows-where. A shiver runs down her spine as a large disembodied foot stomps down from the sky to hammer the imp closest to her with fungus-infested toes.

Sorina re-aims the MiniShark at the Gashadokuro dealing 5d4+[Str]12+[Int/2] 6 +20% damage when using firearms

Mom's Toenail deals 1d4 +[Str] 12 to the closest Imp (Cooldown 2)

Chevaleresse · February 28, 2019

Mitsurugi landed smoothly after being sent flying by the monster's blow, betraying little hint that she felt it. It was tough, perhaps tougher than she was expecting - or she was simply still weak from starvation. Regardless, she still had work to do. Thunder cracked overhead, and water swept up around Mitsurugi. Arcs of lightning swept down from the heavens, swirled around the goddess, then leapt back outward, carrying the tidal surge with them as they crashed into her foes. The smells of rain and ozone filled the air as Mitsurugi demonstrated her true nature, smashing the area around her with the force of nature.

Kino (39/95)

Enma (10/65)

The excitement in Enma that came from the familiar land and the battle immediately vanished following the Gashadokuro's overwhelming attack; though the two felt little pain from the impact, they knew that the attack would take a terrible toll on their strength. Immediately after being summoned, the two smaller remnants of her kin immediately returned to her, restoring Enma's strength as their final service before amalgamating with Enma once more. They could only hope they could hold out as the others did not appear to be faring as well as they were, for once their lack of sense being a luxury over a curse.

Enma attacks the Green Imp 4 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 attacks the same Green Imp 4 with Burial Rites, dealing 2d6 + INT (9) + INT/2 (4) +2 damage to it, and restoring Kino and Enma's health by SYN/2, respectively, triggering Entente of Malice. If Kino's target dies during the turn after being damaged by this ability, Kino restores health equal to the damage this attack dealt to them.

Yours Truly · March 10, 2019

Mot did what any man would do after receiving two withering blows while travelling at high speeds on a motorcycle, and that is to thank the fact that the Giant skeleton had hit him just a little bit too softly as he and his trusty steed rebounded off of the ground a couple of times in painful, painful ways, before the man suddenly got back on his motorcycle again and attempted to try and lead the yellow imp on before jumping off his steed, and attempting to do an aerial roll before just shooting the fucker while it tries to aim and rebounding him back on his motorcycle again.

Mot uses Confidence Booster on Yellow Imp, dealing a modest (5d10+12)+10% damage and healing himself by half of the damage he deals, and also taunting them in case they survive that because honestly, no one else can take that I think.

DragonRage · March 12, 2019

Lexiel summons a Wall of Denial to block for Michael Mot. The wall has 45/45 HP, and can only take damage from weapon attacks (natural weapons count). It's also immune to poison and bleeding. The wall doesn't counterattack, because it's a wall.
