(2633) Evil DM: GAME ON -=No OCC Past this point=-
When we last met the group they had just defeated a stone creature that was ripping through the library killing all in its path. They have also run into young Jai Xinao a Sohei in the service of the library. A strange and evil voice has just made its presence known what will the party do now.....?
A deep voice fills the air. "Now I might like to have a look at that scroll as well...." followed by an evil slightly insane laugh.
** (2640) Yoshiaki looks around for the source of the voice **
(2670) Sahato: "I'm getting tired of this."
(2640) Yoshiaki : " it has been a busy week "
(2633) Evil DM: Yoshiaki You see a dark man clad in green and red floating gently above the bookshelf to the south of you he is about 20ft off the ground.
(2633) Evil DM: He has a green scarf that seems to blow with abcense of wind.
** (2640) Yoshiaki looks at the man as he looks around for a ladder to get up there **
(2633) a town guard: "Well now this is interesting we have quite the group assembled... The plague has no lack of numbers it seems."
(2633) Man in green and red: "Well now this is interesting we have quite the group assembled... The plague has no lack of numbers it seems."
(2670) Sahato: "Huh?"
** (2633) Man in green and red slowly changes the smile on his face to a frown. "Now woman give me that scroll!" **
(2670) Sahato: "What scroll?"
(2633) Man in green and red: "I can sense the magic on you little one if you give it to me willingly then the pain will not last as long, but I make no promises."
** (2633) Man in green and red floats over to a table landing gently. **
(2670) Sahato: "Are you sure you want it? It is quite boring."
** (2633) Ii Hikaru moves behind the bookcase and out of view. **
** (2640) Yoshiaki looks the man over careful **
(2633) a man in green and red: "You know not the powers you mettle with. Leave well enough alone your kind has caused enough harm."
(2640) Yoshiaki : " so basically you plan to kill us regardless right ?"
(2633) a man in green and red: "Well having witnesses is bothersome."
(2670) Sahato: "You seem kind of scared about something."
(2633) a man in green and red: "As I said you do not know the harm you can do with that scroll. Your race is a sad tale to bad none will mourn its passing."
** (2640) Yoshiaki looks the man over then looks side ways to sahato **
** (2670) Sahato shrugs .... "I only have my shopping list." **
(2633) a man in green and red: "I can see we shall have to do this the hard way." his smile then completely fades as he begins glowing with raw energy.
** (2670) Sahato has her sword ready for a maneuver **
** (2640) Yoshiaki charges with the full power of the sun **
** (2633) Jai Xinao Rushes forward weapon held high.. "No harm shall come to the keeper of the relic!" **
(2633) a man in green and red: "The gauntlet is cast let us see if you can equal the measure of the weight it bares." he grins slyly as he speaks.
(2633) a man in green and red: Initative!!
(2633) Evil DM: Initative!!
(2670) Sahato: Init [1d20+11] => [19,11] = (30)
(2633) Evil DM: o.O
(2633) Evil DM: For pete sakes.
(2633) Evil DM: Initiative [1d20+4]
(2633) Evil DM: [1d20+4] => [5,4] = (9)
(2640) Yoshiaki : [1d20+5] => [3,5] = (8)

(2633) Evil DM: a man in green and red
(2633) Evil DM: Yoshiaki
(2633) Evil DM: Jai Xinao
(2633) Evil DM: Sahato
** (2670) Sahato swirls her blade along the ground and picks up the loose debris and with a sudden thrust of her wrist throws it at the figure in front of her .... (( Wind Slash ... damage [2d4] => [2,3] = (5) / DC 14 / blind [1d4] => [3] = (3) rounds )) **
** (2670) Sahato then moves to the left **
** (2633) Evil DM moves to cover his face from Sahato's blast. [1d20+3] => [19,3] = (22) **
(2633) Evil DM: He manages to cover his face before your attack hits. His vision remains un-impaired but you has some small cuts from the initial hit.
(2633) a man in green and red: "Insects prepare yourself! Father give me strength!" He yells as an aura of energy encompasses his body.
(2633) a man in green and red: Yoshiaki
(2633) Evil DM: Yoshiaki moves forwards towards the bloodraged
(2633) Evil DM: Jai Xinao
** (2633) Jai Xinao moves swiftly around the tables and chairs weapon held aloft which she brings down on towards his head. **
(2633) Jai Xinao: [1d20+7] => [7,7] = (14)
** (2633) Jai Xinao lands a blow that nearly shatters the table below the floating bloodraged. **
** (2633) Jai Xinao misses a blow that nearly shatters the table below the floating bloodraged. **
(2633) Jai Xinao: Sahato
** (2670) Sahato keeps her blade swirling around her gathering power from the very air as she tries to overcome this menace.... ((Wind Razor .... damage [5d6] => [6,6,6,2,3] = (23) / DC 14 for half / [1d6] => [1] = (1) )) **
(2633) Evil DM: [1d20+4] => [16,4] = (20)
(2633) Evil DM: whew
(2670) Sahato: "Tamat defend."
** (2670) Sahato moves right **
The blast knocks the man clear on his back but this allows most of the force to bypass him.
(2709) Mitsuki (enter): 22:53
(2670) Sahato: (( yay! ))
As the blast hits him a blast of energy leaves the field surrounding his body and is directed towards Sahato.
(2633) Evil DM: [1d20+7] Touch Attack [4d6] DC 16 Reflex for half
(2633) Evil DM: Grr
(2633) Evil DM: [1d20+7] => [11,7] = (18) Touch Attack [4d6] => [4,2,4,5] = (15) DC 16 Reflex for half
(2670) Sahato: (( miss ))
The bookcase behind you feels the brunt of the blast as books explode an smolder.
(2633) Evil DM:
Initiative Order
Sahato
a man in green and red
Yoshiaki
Jai Xinao
(2633) Evil DM: Yoshiaki
** (2670) Sahato manages to avoid the energy as it flies toward her and will keep moving **
** (2640) Yoshiaki steps forward with a double slash his arm glowing on the first swing **
(2640) Yoshiaki : [1d20+15] => [6,15] = (21)
(2640) Yoshiaki : [1d20+11] => [5,11] = (16)
(2633) Evil DM: hit and hit
(2640) Yoshiaki : [1d6+3] => [4,3] = (7)
(2640) Yoshiaki : [1d6+3] => [5,3] = (8)
Your swords cut deep clear wounds into his flesh but no blood comes out.
(2633) Evil DM: "Fools it will not be this easy!"
(2633) a man in green and red: "Fools it will not be this easy!"
(2633) a man in green and red: Jai moves to the other side of the man to try for a finishing blow.
** (2633) Jai Xinao moves to the other side of the man to try for a finishing blow. **
(2633) Jai Xinao: [1d20+5] -2 PA [1d10+8]
(2633) Jai Xinao: [1d20+5] => [19,5] = (24) -2 PA [1d10+8] => [2,8] = (10)
The weapon lands square in the back of the man and a small grunt is heard as he falls down to one knee.
(2633) a man in green and red: "My death is nothing... we will have that scroll..." he says as he slumps over.
(2670) Sahato: "Is it safe again?"
(2633) Evil DM: His blood begins to boil and sizzle upon the table.
(2670) Sahato: "Careful!"
** (2640) Yoshiaki steps backs **
The room erupts in a bright light and a massive explosive force from where the body lay.
(2633) Evil DM: Reflex DC 15 and Fort DC 15
(2640) Yoshiaki : reflex
(2640) Yoshiaki : [1d20+10] => [3,10] = (13)
(2670) Sahato: Reflex [1d20+6] => [15,6] = (21) Fortitude [1d20+5] => [6,5] = (11)
(2633) Evil DM: That’s everyone btw 3:)
(2640) Yoshiaki : [1d20+9] => [10,9] = (19)
(2633) Evil DM: Sahato you get your hands up in time to shield your eyes but fail to take cover from the force of the blast. (full damage)
(2633) Evil DM: Yoshiaki you duck in time to avoid most of the force but do not shield your eyes.
(2633) Evil DM: Jai is flung backwards into the end of a bookshelf and knocked out cold
(2633) Evil DM: [4d6] => [2,6,1,3] = (12) damage
** (2670) Sahato manages to right herself after that blast and begins to slowly look for everyone. She is having trouble moving though. **
(2633) Evil DM: As the haze and the smoke clears foots steps can be heard comming in the distance.
(2670) Sahato: "Hello? Where is everyone?"
** (2640) Yoshiaki brush off the attack like it was nothing and looks around **
(2633) a town guard: "Yoshiaki! master Ii!?"
** (2640) Yoshiaki moves over to check on jai **
(2633) a town guard: Ii is tending to her but she is out cold. She took the full brunt of the blast.
(2670) Sahato: "Over here, whoever you are!"
About 5 town guards come running up.
(2633) a town guard: "What happened we heard a massive explosion and came soon as we could."
(2640) Yoshiaki : " we ran in to a bloodraged and they do not died peaceful"
** (2670) Sahato is barely standing ..... "A bloodraged exploded." **
a gasp runs through the room..
(2633) a town guard: "No.. in the city!? How... this must not leak out to the populace it would be a panic."
(2670) Sahato: "What is that box?"
** (2640) Yoshiaki checks the box **
** (2670) Sahato leans against a wall holding her side. **
(2633) Ii Hikaru: "That’s not good lady Sahato it seems you've broken another rib.. Stand still please I will ease the pain." [1d8+3] => [8,3] = (11)
(2670) Sahato: "Ohhhh ..... I hope not. Thank you it is much better now."
** (2640) Yoshiaki looks to to the others " we still have one task left to do before we rest " **
(2670) Sahato: "Yes? Oh the librarian, right?"
** (2640) Yoshiaki nods **
(2670) Sahato: "Ii! Are you able to find him/her?"
** (2633) Ii Hikaru closes his eyes and turns about in one full circle. "He is still here but he is fading." **
(2633) Ii Hikaru: "His spirit seems at peace now. Have you any questions for him before I grant him passage."
** (2640) Yoshiaki looks to Sahato **
(2670) Sahato: "Who was the one that broke into the library to cause all this destruction?"
(2633) Ii Hikaru: "That was an avatar of Ja Xoux he says."
** (2670) Sahato looks puzzled since she has never heard that name **
(2633) Ii Hikaru: "He is a powerful spirit lord I do hope he is not aligned with them."
(2633) Ii Hikaru: "He is said to be a protector this is most unusual."
(2670) Sahato: "It is indeed unusual. I do not know what to do next."
(2633) Ii Hikaru: "Clearly that sc.. item cannot be read without great consequence."
(2670) Sahato: "Is there a way to disguise magic?"
(2633) Ii Hikaru: "Umm, you would need to see a wu jen for that question lady Sahato."
(2633) Ii Hikaru: "Such workings are beyond my craft."
(2670) Sahato: "I see."
(2670) Sahato: "Do you think that might be a good idea, Yoshiaki?"
** (2640) Yoshiaki shrugs " but since we are done here we should find some place safe to rest " **
(2670) Sahato: "Or do you think there is someone else I should go see?"
(2633) Ii Hikaru: "The court has some wu jen in its employ. Maybe one of them can answer better the question."
(2633) Ii Hikaru: "I think that Jai might also have more information."
(2670) Sahato: "Yes I think she might too. Will she be ok?"
** (2633) Ii Hikaru nods "Yes, she is a tough one. That blast might have killed me at that range." **
** (2640) Yoshiaki moves over and picks up jai " we should go to my place and rest till she recovers " **
(2670) Sahato: "Is your place safe? They found me near there once before."
(2633) Ii Hikaru: "I must return these spirits to peace now. Thank you both for your assistance."
(2640) Yoshiaki : " as safe as any place in the city "
(2670) Sahato: "You are most welcome miss li."
** (2633) Ii Hikaru she bows and walks off into the library two guards go with her. **
(2670) Sahato: "Uhmmmm, no offense, but is there a way to make it even safer?"
(2640) Yoshiaki : " we could post guards "
** (2633) Jai Xinao stirs slightly. "Yes indeed let us build a grand moat and heavy iron gate to high that which we wish none to know of.." she says weakly. **
(2670) Sahato: "Good idea, but maybe impractical."
(2633) Jai Xinao: "The meaning was if you take great effort to hide something other will wonder what it is you hide."
(2670) Sahato: "Extra guards might help, Yoshiaki. I'm tired of people trying to take me."
** (2640) Yoshiaki looks to Jai " rest well brave warrior . the battle is over for now " **
** (2640) Yoshiaki walks over to one of the guards **
(2640) Yoshiaki : "are there any extra guards on call tonight ?"
(2633) a town guard: "No more than usual.. What’s going on Yoshiaki your hiding something?" one asks
(2640) Yoshiaki : " I was order to protect that young lady and she has already been attack four times in two days . at this point we need some rest to recover from our wounds "
(2633) a town guard: "You could request one of the safe houses."
** (2640) Yoshiaki nods yes that may be best " **
(2640) Yoshiaki : " let's get moving "
(2670) Sahato: "Ok."
** (2640) Yoshiaki heads to the local guard house **
As you are talking another guard comes up. "Excuse me is there a lady Sahato present?"
** (2670) Sahato looks to Yoshiaki to see if he knows this guard. **
** (2640) Yoshiaki nods **
(2670) Sahato: "Yessssss? What is it you wish? I am Sahato."
(2633) a town guard: "There is a young woman outside who says she knows you and is requesting to speak with you."
** (2670) Sahato thinks..... "Is her name .... Mitsuki?" **
(2633) a town guard: "I think that was it."
(2670) Sahato: "Please allow her to come to me. I do know her."
** (2633) a town guard he looks at Yoshiaki **
(2633) a town guard: "Is that ok Sir?"
** (2640) Yoshiaki nods **
(2633) a town guard: "One moment please." he bows and heads back out.
A few moments later Mitsuki comes into the library dressed in much finer clothing that before.
(2670) Sahato: "Ah it is you, Mitsuki."
(2709) Mitsuki: The dancer waves to her companions, moving over. You can see her arms and shoulders are now covered in tattoos matching the style of her back. She grins as she joins you all, "It's been pretty tough getting into here. Seems you all found something interesting to do while I was away."
(2633) a town guard: @ Mitsuki Perception Check
(2633) Evil DM: @ Mitsuki Perception Check
(2670) Sahato: "Interesting is not how I would describe it."
(2709) Mitsuki: [1d20+8] => [10,8] = (18)
(2709) Mitsuki: "Well it certainly doesn't seem to be dull, that's for sure. You now have the library surrounded by guards."
(2670) Sahato: "It was surrounded when we got here. We wound up helping li go looking for some kind of spirit. And found a lot more than that."
(2633) Evil DM: why = what
** (2709) Mitsuki looks at Jai, taking her appearance in and then turning her attention back to Sahato. "Well obviously you found it and took care of it." **
(2670) Sahato: "Yeah, eventually."
** (2670) Sahato is reluctant to say everything in this place. **
** (2640) Yoshiaki nods " well we still have something todo before we can rest " **
(2709) Mitsuki: She catches onto the hesitancy and just nods, "So where are we all off to now? I take it there's no strong desire to remain in the library."
(2633) Jai Xinao: "Lady Sahato as I am now without a charge I would offer my services on your behalf until another charge is appointed myself."
(2670) Sahato: "No, I think it is time to get some rest. That is what we were about to do."
** (2670) Sahato looks surprised at Jai's offer, but thinks. **
(2640) Yoshiaki : " first we need to get a safe place to rest "
(2670) Sahato: "If you wish that I will not refuse the offer, Jai."
** (2640) Yoshiaki heads to the guard post carrying jai **
(2633) Jai Xinao: "Of course ma'am."
(2670) Sahato: "Come on Mitsuki, this has been a crazy day."
(2709) Mitsuki: She watches Yoshiaki go, and then turns to Sahato, "you think he knows what he's doing?" She grins at Sahato
** (2670) Sahato heads after Yoshiaki so she doesn't get lost. **
(2670) Sahato: "Well he is trying more than most."
** (2640) Yoshiaki once at the guard post looks for the duty officer **
(2633) a town guard: "Yoshiaki, you needed me?"
(2709) Mitsuki: Shrugging as she follows along, she stays close to Sahato, "my friends can help look after us if we need, or else we can trust whatever guards Yoshiaki can find."
(2640) Yoshiaki : " yes i would like to request us of one of the safe houses "
** (2633) a town guard hands Yoshiaki a key and a small map. "You might wish to take care on your route so that you are not followed." he whisper. **
** (2670) Sahato looks oddly at Mitsuki ..... "You have guards?" **
(2709) Mitsuki: "Not really guards, just friends proficient in defending themselves. Perhaps once we reach the safe house I can send for them."
** (2670) Sahato shrugs. **
** (2640) Yoshiaki nods and looks over the map before putting it away **
(2640) Yoshiaki : " let get moving i will get us some food once we are settled in "
(2670) Sahato: "The fewer that know where I am might be safer than many looking out for me."
(2670) Sahato: "Oh Food! Now I'm hungry."
(2709) Mitsuki: Giving yet another shrug, she follows after everyone, occasionally looking at the new tattoos on her arms admiringly
** (2670) Sahato keeps quiet unless asked questions **
** (2640) Yoshiaki starts walking seemingly taking random turns in to what look like blind allies before turning and walking thru a wall **
** (2633) Jai Xinao follows along stride with Sahato and the small dog that seems to get giving her the once over. **
** (2670) Sahato is trying to stay close to Yoshiaki with all his crazy turns **
(2670) Sahato: "Tamat, be nice. She is helping us too."
(2633) Tamat: "Ruff!"
(2670) Sahato: "Don't mind Tamat. He is just a bit protective."
** (2640) Yoshiaki after about 20 minutes of strange turns and confusing paths he walks up to a plan looking house in a part of town not as not as his but still nice **
(2640) Yoshiaki : "well this will be home for the time being "
** (2670) Sahato looks around. **
(2670) Sahato: "Seems nice."
** (2640) Yoshiaki walks around the house before going in checking for anything out of place **
The party has arrived the safe house but.... How safe will they be..
(2633) Evil DM: GAME END
