[Trespassers V2 Subplot] Okami: Stains upon the Canvas

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

Total 5d10+Dex damage to one target, not subject to miss chance.
Level 1 - Deals 4d6+Dex damage to one target, reduces the user’s Init by 12-[Str].
Level 2 - Inevitable: As long as Michael has this weapon equipped, he can pull of some rather ridiculously accurate shots. Attacks made with this weapon can no longer miss.

Level 5 - Impact: Now uses d10s.
 
Biker's Outfit: Nothing but a Black leather jacket that stops just before the waist, a black motorcycle helmet that he wears when riding his bike for obvious reasons, and a tough looking pair of black pants. He just likes the color, well...almost as much as he loves the music of a certain man in black....
+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.

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:

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)

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.

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.

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.

 

 

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%.

Spoiler

 

 

Mot puts a new bullet between the Yellow Imp’s eyes, which were still covered by their mask, dealing 52 damage, both putting the Yellow Imp down for good, and healing himself for 26 HP. For a second, the Yellow Imp merely froze, a hole lying where its face was before it collapsed to the ground, dissipating in a burst of flower petals.

 

Meanwhile, the world itself began to shake as Mitsurugi, powered by the faith Nippon still had for the gods, unleashed her strength as the Goddess of Disasters, a chorus of thunderbolts dealing 62 damage to every single combatant in the fight, vaporizing the fish that had tried latching onto her, along with the Red Imp currently trying to flee, and the guitar the other had possessed. The other Dead Fish is knocked to the ground, is wings burned out from the lightning and wind combined. As for the Gashadokuro, it seemed relatively fine despite getting hit by the brunt of Mitsu’s lightning… Except for the fact that its swords had managed to shatter from the force, the pieces falling to the ground with dull clangs.

 

(6 v 11) Mitsu’s demonstration also caused large waves to hit the Gashadokuro from behind, threatening to sweep it away. Unfortunately, or fortunately in its case, it managed to keep itself with the cliffside

Spicy, after getting whacked by a giant sword, chooses to defend herself and protect herself from further damage.

 

The two Green Imps that had chosen to chase Spicy and Mitsu are barely able to avoid the Goddess’s wrath, panicked screeching coming from them as they danced around the thunderbolts posed to strike them. Then, they choose to observe, lying lower to the ground as they circled around the two goddesses. The other two however, focus on Sorina and Enma, hitting them for 10 and 7 damage respectively.

 

For Ako, she had no way to defend herself from the Gashadokuro’s slash, being thrown back towards the shrine, tumbling across the ground for several feet before skidding to a stop. Shakily getting back to her feet, she looked up… And saw the ruins of the ancient bell town, a shocked expression quickly settling in, “Oh gods, that’s going to take some months of work” she whispered, before grunting in pain, straightening herself as the world began to slow down, the color draining from her sight, leaving nothing more than a canvas.

 

Then, she took out her brush, a small, unassuming object, dipping it into one of her pots, seeming to suck in the entire pot’s worth of ink, before tracing a circle in the air, just above Spicy’s form. And with that, Heaven and Earth were connected.

 

A flurry of petals formed around Spicy, her wounds quickly beginning to heal, 17 HP returning to her. Meanwhile, Ako quickly put away her brush, before pulling out yet another slip and throwing it at Enma, healing the spirit for 19 damage.


Sorina gets back into action, aiming her sharklauncher at the Gashadokuro, letting out a flury of rockets at its body. The giant skeleton barely seems to notice the attacks… Until they slip between its ribs, exploding inside and causing it to let out a silent screech of pain, the core taking 38 damage.. Then, she takes a bite out of the tasty toenail, before the foot comes down to crush the Green Imp that was attacking her for 16 damage.

 

The remaining Red Imp had ducked underneath the Gashadokuro’s swing, planning to rise back up and actually get the angel this time. Except he didn’t, instead being forced to turn back to the Goddess of Natural Disasters, using its guitar to block the coming storm, which it did, in exchange for it being vaporized. With its weapon gone now, the Imp looked around confused, before letting out a frustrated cry and then slashing at Lexiel, dealing 11 damage.

 

The remaining Dead Fish struggles on the ground, the electricity only now beginning to leave its paralyzed body.

Lexiel brings up a wall to protect Mot, like a true friend.

 

Kino and Enma initiate their tag team combo, hitting the Green Imp they targeted with an entente of malice. Enma begins, hitting for 14 damage, forcing the Green Imp back, before Kino puts the finishing blow on it with 21 damage. As the Green Imp lets out a final screech of pain, it swiftly dissolved into flower petals, which seemingly drift over to the spiritual duo, healing each for a total of 26 (21+5) HP.

 

The Gashadokuro brings a hand to its ribs, staring down the last of explosions that came from within, before dropping the hilts of its swords into the ocean behind it. Then, somehow giving off an expression of anger directed at Sorina, the Gashadokuro brought its hands together, slowly bringing them above its head.

Kino (61/96)

Enma (48/66)

 

The battle seemed to be growing more comfortable as the group as enemies began to fall and the most fearsome of their foes was already somewhat enfeebled. Regardless, it seemed to be preparing another wave of powerful attack, as Kino and Enma swiftly tended to withering said foe as best they could for the inevitable. 

 

Enma attacks the Gashadokuro 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 Gashadokuro with Debilitate, dealing 3d6 + INT (9) + INT/2 (4) +2 damage to it, and restoring Kino and Enma's health by SYN/2, respectively, triggering Entente of Malice. The Gashadokuro deals 10% less damage for two turns, and this can be refreshed by attacks and stacked with repeated casts.

Cursing her lack of a more powerful healing spell, and resolved to research one at the earliest possible opportunity, Lexiel summons another Soul Warden to block for her (12/12 HP, attack/counterattack for 5 damage, heals 5 HP to all allies and summons including Lexiel and itself whenever it or another being enters the encounter.).

 

 

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.

 

Decree of Justice (4 mana, white):  Lexiel summons a small army of barely-autonomous units inspired by Overwatch operators or Boros angels to the battlefield.  Summons X Soldier Tokens, or X/3 Angel Tokens.  X is the number of mana bonds Lexiel has.

 

Furyborn Zealot (3 mana, red):  Lexiel summons an incoherently furious Protoss zealot to assault her enemies.

-Level 2:  Increases Zealot damage die size to d6s.

 

Soul Warden (1 mana, white):  Lexiel summons a Boros cleric to help heal her allies.

 

Wall of Denial (3 mana, blue and white):  Lexiel creates a tough, warded wall to protect her allies.

 

Chronostutter (6 mana, blue):  Lexiel disrupts the flow of time around target enemy, afflicting them with the status condition Time Warp.  Time Warp lasts until cleansed, or the encounter ends, and it must be cleansed twice before it is removed.  The actions of Time Warped characters have a 1 round travel time between when they are used and when they take effect.

 

Render Silent (3 mana, blue and white):  Lexiel chooses target enemy.  Should that enemy use a magical action before her next turn, that action is countered and negated.  Then, that enemy is rendered unable to use magic until the end of their next turn.  This spell does not go on cooldown unless it counters an action.

 

Dragonshift (3 mana, blue and red):  Lexiel polymorphs target non-dragon ally or summon into a dragon for 1 round.  Dragons can fly, have MHP equal to Lexiel’s MHP, and get +Lexiel’s synergy to their damage dealt.  The dragon’s full MHP replaces the beneficiary’s current and maximum HP while this effect is active, but when it ends the beneficiary is returned to their former state.  Dragons retain access to all their non-gear actions, but cannot use gear while a dragon.  Lexiel can cast this spell for 7 mana to have it hit each eligible target.  This spell cannot self-target.  Affected allies look like they would if they had been born a dragon rather than whatever they currently are.

-Level 2:  The duration is increased to 2 rounds.

 

Lightning Helix (2 mana, red and white):  Lexiel fires a bizarre lightning bolt that deals [synergy] damage to target enemy and heals target ally for [synergy] HP.

-Level 2:  The damage and healing are increased to 1d4 + synergy.

 

Mana Potion:  This single use consumable will boost Lexiel's mana bond supply for 1 encounter.

"There is still more to do." Mitsurugi stood in the aftermath of her handiwork, and simply surveyed where her remaining foes were before breaking into graceful motion once more. Her form very nearly blurred with the speed at which she moved, striking at the gashadokuro once more. 

 

Attack the Gashadokuro's Core with Mitsu's daisho, dealing 5d6+DEX+SYN+37 damage. 



Level: 5 (7 effective)
HP: 65
Init: 14
Stats: 7/30+7

 
  • Constitution: 5
  • Dexterity: 14
  • Intelligence: 2
  • Strength: 2
  • Synergy: 14

Perks:

Memories of Power: Mitsurugi's form and spirit remember being much more powerful than she is currently. Her effective level is 1.3x her actual level (rounded up.)

Lightning Speed: Mitsurugi has lived a long life of fighting duels with both danmaku and blades; she's gotten pretty quick over it. Grants +1 DEX per level. 

Building Calamity: Mitsurugi adds 30% of the damage she dealt last round to each attack this round. Damage is only considered for a maximum of two targets (damaging more will not build up additional damage.)

 

Actions

Earth and Fire Sign "Eruption": Blasts danmaku at a target in a manner reminiscent of a volcanic eruption, dealing an attack with the equipped weapon that bypasses damage resistance. 2 turn cooldown.

Storm Sign "Furious Tempest": A spell card that emulates a hurricane with thrown ofuda and blindingly quick slashes at every foe in the area. Deals DEX+1d4 damage to all enemies within 5 initiative of a chosen target, 2 turn cooldown.
-Level 1: DEX to all enemies, 2 turn cooldown.

Sorina sets the Minishark down for a moment, leaning it against her leg, and reaches into her bag again to pull out an even larger gun, a grenade launcher that initially looks wrong when compared to its surroundings. Taking aim, Sorina fires the MIRV MIRV with the intent to clean up the remaining green imps.

 

A small hourglass at Sorina's waist glows slightly and grains of sand begin to fall upwards in anticipation.

Sharp shards of ice chaotically swirl around her as more foes fall. A few melt away into harmless drops, but more take their place

The disturbing toenail begins to reform, somehow looking even more disgusting than it did before.

 

MIRV MIRV deals [12]+[12]  + 10% acid damage to each of the green Imps. (Cooldown 2). The first two enemies who hit Sorina this round take [12] damage.

Mot uses Confidence Booster on the Gashakudoru, dealing (5d10+12)+15% damage to them, and healing himself by half the damage he dealt, and also taunting them for 1 round with his perk.

Theme

Spoiler

 

 

Mot takes a shot at the Gashadokuro, the bullet hitting the core of the behemoth for 44 damage, drawing is attention but giving Mot the self satisfaction he needed, healing him for 22 HP.

 

Mitsurugi goes for the core of the Gashadokuro, only for the rib cages to prevent her from getting to it. It seems as if only precise strikes would get through the ribs. Nonetheless, the ribs take 104 damage, just barely keeping their shape.

 

As soon as Spicy stabs the Gashadokuro, the gigantic skeleton seems to freeze in place, only able to twitch slightly as her seal took effect. She also deals 14 damage to the Gashadokuro’s ribs.

 

The Green Imps begin their assault again, the two that had chosen to watch deciding to peace out, turning tail and fleeing the battlefield. The other, last living Imp slashes at Sorina again, dealing a rather pathetic 8 damage. However, it is stabbed by the shards of ice that swirled around her.

 

Ako continues to abuse her brush, healing Sorina for 15 HP, before throwing another prayer slip at the grounded Dead Fish, the paper sticking to its face before bursting with light for several seconds. By the end, the fish had been vaporized, leaving only a small flower in its place.

 

Sorina, on the other hand, loads her grenade launcher, firing a round that splashes acid over the Green Imps, including the ones that were trying to run. The ones that were running are quickly dissolved, turning into petals that were also destroyed by the acid, while the other screeched in pain as green smoke curled off its body. However, the mask managed to stay perfectly intact.

 

The Red Imp, despite being angry with its lost weapon, turns from Lexiel, sprinting off to attack the culprit of the crime: Mitsurugi, slashing at her for 14 damage.

 

Lexiel summons a new Soul Warden, giving everyone a gracious 5 HP back.

 

Kino and Enma advance, attacking the Gashadokuro’s ribs with their own strikes. The first, from Enma, marks it, dealing 15 damage to its ribs, while Kino follows it up with her own debilitating strike for 35 damage, healing both by 5 more HP. Kino’s strike is enough for the Gashadokuro’s ribs to finally fall apart, revealing the blazing core that immediately send a wave of heat to those nearby.

 

The Gashadokuro struggles to move, unable to bring its hands down thanks to Spicy’s seal.
