Kenji Nogachi, the Grand Premier of Sendai, suddenly teleports into the room.

Miya, with her Ruby Eye, immediately recognizes it as Yuki.

Feeling a bit playful however, she declares loudly - "You traitorous fiend! How dare you hide a monster in the midst of the good people of Sendai!"

Not Aman · « **Reply #201 on:** March 12, 2015, 12:50:14 pm »

Roka glares at Miya with both confusion and shocks, before bowing before the Grand Primeir.

"I am sorry, my lord, for my companion's outburst. The... Er, naga must have done something to her mind."

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #202 on:** March 12, 2015, 12:53:28 pm »

Miya can't help but fight off a sudden fit of giggling...

It's not so much that this is all that funny, but more like a breaking point, where things are so grim, that even this little thing just sends her over the edge.

All she can do is laugh, so she laughs.

Not Aman · « **Reply #203 on:** March 12, 2015, 01:01:37 pm »

Roka frowns, and then looks to the Grand Primeir as if saying "See?"

cool74 · « **Reply #204 on:** March 12, 2015, 01:10:25 pm »

"Roka maybe miya is seeing something your not." Rai says from the corpse of the naga. Hinting to the red eye that sees through illusions.

killa_robot · « **Reply #205 on:** March 12, 2015, 01:18:43 pm »

Yuki is initially taken aback by Miya's sudden outburst, but after seeing her laugh, and noticing the lack of Naga, she calms down.

"Eh?!? Ah... So the Naga are dead?"

Yuki asks, deciding to somewhat uphold the ruse. She'll also cast heal on the severely injured Roka.

Not Aman · « **Reply #206 on:** March 12, 2015, 02:18:17 pm »

Roka nods.
"Yes, lord. We believe the Naga attempted to assassinate the Magistrate for some reason." Roka states.

Roka nods.
"Yes, lord. We believe the Naga attempted to assassinate the Magistrate for some reason." Roka states.

Looking at the fallen Naga, Yuki notices a few are missing.

"Weren't there more of them? Where did they go?"

She asks.

Not Aman · « **Reply #208 on:** March 12, 2015, 03:17:44 pm »

"Thank you, my lord." Roka says, as his body is quickly healed.

"The others died dissipated into nothingness, I think." Roka replies, before wondering how the WuJen even knew about who was at the fight.

"So, you were watching the fight, my lord?" He then asks.

"Godamnit." Roka mutters.

"If the world explodes, its the god's fault. This is getting ridiculous." Roka adds, strained.

"Don't say that..." Udo murmurs, trying his best to not agree with the sentiment. After going to collect whatever remnants exist of the Naga, he merely bows to the 'lord' and lets Roka speak.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #210 on:** March 12, 2015, 06:35:30 pm »

Miya stops laughing and wipes her eyes with a sigh.

"Oh my, I needed that," she says with a smile.

"Isn't that right 'My Lord'?" Miya says with a mock bow to Yuki.

killa_robot · « **Reply #211 on:** March 12, 2015, 06:58:11 pm »

Yuki smiles back and does her own bow.

"Quite right, hehe."

She replies with a smile. Still unsure if she's being watching, Yuki will maintain the illusion, at least until she confirms the missing Naga cannot see her.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #212 on:** March 13, 2015, 06:28:41 am »

As the Samurai gather up the Naga's equipment and 'accidently loose site of' a few loaded Dragon's Breath Cannons, Lady Shirihata and a bunch of Army Officers storm into the bathhouse.

The Officers immediately begin cordoning off the area.

"Err...

" Lady Shirihata says, looking at 'Grand Premier Kenji Nogachi' and seeing through Yuki's Illusion with her Sorcerer's Sight.

Then, not wanting Yuki to get in trouble for impersonating the Grand Premier, she rushes over and whispers in Yuki's ear - "Get out of here looking like that! Hurry! Before the Chinese see you!"

She then turns to Roka.

"Roka, there was some sort of eruption or something out in the mountains. Yunikawa's blue wall has fallen."

"By order of the Daimyo, the Samurai of Sendai, myself, General Meji and the Army of Sendai are to move on Yunikawa's Citadel immediately."

Not Aman · « **Reply #213 on:** March 13, 2015, 06:46:25 am »

Roka nods.
"Of course, Lady Shirihata. But first we need to find your daughter." Roka states.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #214 on:** March 13, 2015, 06:52:40 am »

"Yuki is fine. She'll be joining us shortly," Lady Shirihata replies.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #215 on:** March 13, 2015, 06:55:25 am »

At this point, yelling in New Realm is heard outside. It's the Chinese returning to the bathhouse.

"Don't let anyone leave, until all cannons are accounted for!" someone outside commands with a heavy Chinese accent.

Roka nods.
"That is good to hear."

Rai shakes his head and says, "Here's to the end of days."

killa_robot · « **Reply #218 on:** March 13, 2015, 10:55:23 am »

Nodding to her mother, Yuki will first descretely take one of her outfits from where she died, then she'll use Jump to teleport back to the temple. Once there she'll get dressed and then dispel the illusion and send thoughts to Miya.

"Come to the Temple of the Ancestors, I have something to tell everyone."

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #219 on:** March 13, 2015, 02:20:14 pm »

General Meji then enters the bathhouse with six of the twelve Chinese Dragon's Breath Cannoneers and a few Chinese Bureaucrats from the Imperial Magistrate's entourage.

One of the Chinese Bureaucrats speaks however - General Meji looking only mildly irritated - "Gather the cannons and have the Doshin of Sendai or whoever, I don't really care who, remove the dead."

Then looking at the Samurai of Sendai he commands, "You there, what happened here? Explain this most egregious breach of security that threatened the life of our beloved Imperial Magistrate!"

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #220 on:** March 13, 2015, 02:23:39 pm »

Before anyone can answer, one of the Cannoneers exclaims - "three cannons are missing sir!"

The Chinese Bureaucrat's face goes red with anger.

"Who dares to lay hands on the Shogun's own cannons?!?" he says at the Samurai accusingly.

"Such an offense is worthy of death!" he screams - spittle flying from his mouth.

Not Aman · « **Reply #221 on:** March 13, 2015, 02:41:49 pm »

"The cursed naga, my lord." Roka says, mentally apologizing to the protectors of man. "It must have been their goals, to steal the legendary weapons of the Noble chinese. My mind was preoccupied with the safety of the Magistrate.... I apologize for my failure to project them, lord."

"Oh, and I must applogize again, my lord. I realize a wise man like you would want us to challenge Yukinawa, who is a threat to the Chinese, instea of worry about Canons. I apologize for my mistake, my lord." Roka states, burning his vitality to sooth the Chinese with a convincing lie.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #222 on:** March 13, 2015, 03:01:22 pm »

"Right, there is that," The Chinese Bureaucrat replies, calming down and dismissing the Samurai with a wave.

General Meji raises an eyebrow at the situation, but hastily directs everyone to the door - "Come, we ride for Yunikawa's Citadel."

cool74 · « **Reply #223 on:** March 13, 2015, 04:25:56 pm »

Rai stands up after collecting his spear and says, "Of course."

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #224 on:** March 13, 2015, 04:39:13 pm »

Once outside, Miya tells the rest of the Samurai, Lady Shirihata, and the General - "First, we need to meet Yuki at the Temple of The Ancestors."

"I really need to get my men and the Army headed to Yunikawa's Citadel ASAP," General Meji replies.

Lady Shirihata just looks between Miya and the General, waiting patiently.

"Yuki can teleport us there instantly," Miya counters, "We can get there in the blink of an eye. No need to ride."

"Ah, but can she teleport the entire army? And I for one don't intend to die on the battlefield without a trusty steed under me. Yunikawa has an army of Bakemono, remember?"

"Yuki can open a Gate and you can all ride through," Miya offers.

The General just sets his jaw to the side.

"Hmm... You go ahead and fetch Yuki. I'll get my men ready. Tell her to meet me at the camp when you're all ready. She can open a gate for us there."

"OK," Miya smiles.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #225 on:** March 13, 2015, 04:41:23 pm »

The Samurai and Lady Shirihata then head to the Temple of The Ancestors, where Yuki is waiting for them - sipping tea in a private chamber near incredibly life-like statues of Sakura and Kaitaro.

cool74 · « **Reply #226 on:** March 13, 2015, 06:37:50 pm »

"Umm Yuki," Rai prepares to ask hestantly, "Why are there replica statutes of your dead comrades?"

killa_robot · « **Reply #227 on:** March 13, 2015, 06:48:29 pm »

Yuki looks at the two statues then to Rai.

"They aren't replicas. They're the real Sakura and Keitaro."

She explains.

cool74 · « **Reply #228 on:** March 13, 2015, 08:49:36 pm »

Rai gets an enlighten look on his face and says, "So you really did die and go to the temple. Why are they statues and your not?"

killa_robot · « **Reply #229 on:** March 13, 2015, 09:27:52 pm »

Yuki frowns at Rai and tilts her head.

"Of course I died. You were even there to see it."

She replies.

"Them being statues, and me being here, are both Yunikawa's doing. It seems he turned them both to stone, then desecrated the Naga Temple using the bones of the fallen we helped him retrieve."

Yuki explains, pausing to consider their large part in helping Yunikawa.

"It seems Yunikawa died as well, and appeared in the temple. However he was fine, and used a gate to leave unhindered. Perhaps he anticipated the Naga would succeed in killing him, and desecrated the temple in preparation. Since the temple is still as it was, it's likely the Naga are unaware that it no longer works."

She then pauses again.

"Until the temple is fixed, Roka, Udo, Yunikawa and I are likely immortal... Probably."

Yuki concludes.

cool74 · « **Reply #230 on:** March 13, 2015, 09:41:08 pm »

"Also I feel that something is off" Rai says with a grimance. "Can you see if I am cursed or something?"

killa_robot · « **Reply #231 on:** March 14, 2015, 08:57:14 am »

While the group absorbs what Yuki has said, she'll attempt to use divine location to get a direction on the real book of secrets.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #232 on:** March 14, 2015, 08:59:59 am »

Yuki gets a line on the Naga Book of Secrets - pointing in the direction of Yunikawa's mountain citadel...

Not Aman · « **Reply #233 on:** March 14, 2015, 07:22:23 pm »

Roka nods.
"Keitaro does not deserve to be brought back." Roka states definitely. "But could you, possibly?, make Sakura not stone?"

cool74 · « **Reply #234 on:** March 14, 2015, 07:28:44 pm »

Rai disagrees and says, "We need all the help we can get."

Yuki looks at Roka then Sakura's statue.

"Maybe."

She replies, attempting to cast Dispel Magic on the stone.

Yuki looks at Roka then Sakura's statue.

"Let's hope it works." Roka says with a nod.

Udo lets out a huge sigh of relief. "I'm very glad you're alive, Yuki."

"Keitaro is not help. He is insane." Roka replies simply.

"Agreed," Udo states, perhaps a bit biased. "After the stunt he pulled... He may or may not have been earnest with that apology, but either way he was extremely reckless and was an embarrassment to Sendai. It is safest if we don't take him..."
"Yuki, can you find Yunikawa?"

Not Aman · « **Reply #239 on:** March 14, 2015, 10:07:49 pm »

"Once this is done, we will free him and have him actually commit seppuku and return to the ancestors. But not now."

cool74 · « **Reply #240 on:** March 14, 2015, 10:46:43 pm »

"Are you suggesting that the Daymio takes back his word that his honor was recovered when he first committed seppuku? If the state of the universe hadn't been changed by Yunikawa it is likely that would have been his death for all purposes. So to restore honor you request someone kill himself not once but twice."

Not Aman · « **Reply #241 on:** March 14, 2015, 11:19:20 pm »

"He did not die. It was not seppuku, Rai. This is self-explanatory." Roka states looking at Rai perplexed.

cool74 · « **Reply #242 on:** March 15, 2015, 12:07:36 am »

Rai looks to Yuki and says, "Did you feel the pain of death?"

"Yuki, can you find Yunikawa?"

Yuki smiles in response.

"As am I. As for Yunikawa, we must get the book of secrets first. If Yunikawa guards it, then we'll have to fight him for it."

She then observes the conversation between Rai and Roka, but decides it's best to ignore it, opting to sip her tea instead of talking.

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #244 on:** March 15, 2015, 02:59:56 pm »

Yuki casts Dispell Magic on Sakura and is pretty sure that she nailed it, but to no avail.

"So," Miya asks, "Are we going to Yunikawa's citadel with or without the General and his army?"

Tanstaafl · « **Reply #245 on:** March 15, 2015, 03:13:37 pm »

"Dunno if it's a good idea to bring the rest of the army with us. Who knows what might come after the remnants of Sendai while we're gone."

He looks at Yuki's failed attempt with a frown, "You think we should bring the two statues and see if the Exalted Patriarch has any idea on how to fix one of them?"

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #246 on:** March 15, 2015, 03:19:13 pm »

"General Meji and the Army of Sendai will head to the Citadel without you," Lady Shirihata says (hey, where did she come from?) - "It is their duty. Your duty is to go there with the General. Though you could probably go scout things out first and then open a Gate for the Army after you see what has happened."

killa_robot · « **Reply #247 on:** March 15, 2015, 03:29:35 pm »

"The General and his army?"

Yuki asks, confused as to why they're being mentioned.

"We need to get the book of secrets before we try to attack Yunikawa."

She then looks to her mother.

"We can't allow them to go, at least not until we know how to stop him (Yunikawa)."

BerkaZerka · « **Reply #248 on:** March 15, 2015, 03:32:31 pm »

"The Imperial Magistrate, through our Daimyo, has ordered the Samurai of Sendai (that's you all) to go with the General and lead the Army of Sendai against Yunikawa immediately." Yuki's Mother replies, "The magical blue barrier went down with some sort of massive booming sound while you were fighting in the bathhouse."

"Unfortunately, I do not believe the Exalted Patriarch has knowledge of epic magic. We can either dispel the magic somehow, or destroy the statues. Once broken, Sakura and Keitaro would be killed, and should reform back at the Naga Shrine, no longer encased in stone..."

Yuki asserts. She then turns to her mother again, but unable to say anything against the order of the Daimyo, simply gives her an uneasy look.
