XIan Yin Delving 2

<OOC> Lanfear says, "Muhahaha, atleast 1 dam"
<OOC> MoGui says, "Terracotta2 weather Xiu's durious and fearsome assault! Lana? She knocks out a chunk! Lana? She. Was. Tough."

	Terracotta2 weather Xiu's furious and fearsome assault! Lana? She knocks out a chunk! Lana? She. Was. Tough.
	Xiu's eyes are wide, those previous slitted irises? Round, almost. Like an aggravated cat. Sharp teeth bared she watches terracotta fly, as her slashes tear chunks of the terracotta away.
	Somebody knowing their martial arts might notice that it is more than just wild slashing. It is something different. Beneath the beastial, savage attack is something precise and practiced - and the witch reaches out again. Just before that terracotta guard bursts into pieces in front of her, accompanied by that deafening blast of the shotgun.
	For a split second she stares at Mogui before her attention flicks towards the downed Terracotta guard. She lunges, wasting no time - but either from overjudging the lunge, or a wrong angle, her claws this time only slide over the surface - as does she - turning along the way to land on all sixes.
<OOC> MoGui says, "LANFEAR - pose your strike and damage :)"
As the Terracota goes down, Lana once more swirls the chain around her using it more for scenery, looking awesome and that eerie sound. Once Xiu has done her thing, and the creature still seems about to rise does Lana stride into action once more yet lets face it. She may have struck against a wooden pole for hours but striking hard terracota with structure in it is way way different and as she lands a blow that tears a chuck out, she also leaves a trail of blood from her own hand as the hardened clay pierces her skin.

	Mo shifts and levels his boomstick at the remaining terracotta, gun-fu style! Let's hope he gets lucky!

	And as Mo's boomstick goes off? The terracotta#2 is finished! Blown to smithereens! The smoke and dust will slowly clear, the roar of the shotgun will fade. And only the trio of Xiu, Lana, and Mo will be left standing victorious!
<OOC> MoGui hasta go get in line to board his plane, back in a bit

Xiu pages: But yeah, I lack some regular practice, too. No idea what that shottie is diff 4!
Long distance to Xiu: Lanfear smiles and snugs
Long distance to Xiu: Lanfear will need to make herself a pair of gauntlets to make her more nasty in combat.
	Xiu waves an arm - well, actually two of them, while the other two keep her braced onto the ground. Dust and terracotta pieces get waved away as her ears ring HARD, and her upper lip lightly lifts, a soft snarl leaving her. An expression of the discomfort.
	A couple blinks later she eyes the remains of the 'guard'...and then leans back to slowly, silentpy push herself onto her feet. Her tail slowly waves behind her as she quietly glances around, those irises still round and widened. She does not talk just yet - simply listens.
Xiu pages: Xiu pimped her stats and abilities way earlier - but shouuuuldn't use any magick right now >_> So much permadox until that's dropped.
Lanfear rolls up her chain whip and then brings her bleeding hand up to her lips and lets her tongue reach out and licks the blood away as she studies the carnage. "Dragon be praised." she mutters softly and tucks the whip around her waist once more.
Writing reality out to disk. Please wait...
Reality saved. Thank you for your patience.

<OOC> Xiu says, "Saw our reposes?"

	Mo blows on the end of his boomstick. Yes, someone's been watching too many Evil Dead movies! "Who else wants some!" Well, that was fun!"
<OOC> MoGui says, "I had to stop logging after the victorious trio pose since im on my phone now and it doesnt log :/"
<OOC> Lanfear says, "I can log if you want"
<OOC> MoGui says, "yay!"
<OOC> MoGui had enough for noms but I always appreciate a complete log

	Xiu slowly inhales, eyes flicking from MoGui to Lana - and then begins to move towards the entrance leading through the first wall. She gestures back with one hand, glancing over her shoulder for a moment - still silent and not saying anything - as she slowly makes her way forward, those irises going back to slits as she prowls onward. Thep rimal witch certainy does not think they are out of the woods just yet.
	ANd if they are, she will make damn sure.
<OOC> Lanfear says, "No worries"

	Only the first two terracottas had enough magic left to come alive, apparently. All the rest? They are stuck standing statue still!
Lanfear shakes her head slightly as she adjusts her clothes once more, this short burst of combat did nothing to improve her miss wet t-shirt outfit yet she takes a moment to cycle through the various aspects of the world in search for clues and hints.
You paged MoGui with 'Since I suck at Mage: to use the effect of Prime 1 for example, it's WP vs 1+3 right?'

	Mo settles down, or tries to. He gestures in the air with his sawedoff. "And this is why a dragon needs someone to properly issue instructions! The dragon's never sweat the small details - like aggro terracottas!"
MoGui pages: arete vs level of sphere + 3 (when no mortals are present)
MoGui pages: so arete vs 4
You paged MoGui with 'No mortals present right?'
MoGui pages: right

<OOC> MoGui says, "eveyrthing else has only the faintest echoes of magic"

	Mo looks to Xiu, "Find the discs, MoGui. Retrieve the discs, MoGui. Fu never said anything about the guardians still being active." Then he looks to Lana. "More trouble?"

	Xiu continues to quietly prowl along the terracottas...eyeing them as if *daring* them to move even in the slightest. It takes a long moment until she finally comes striding back, and nods towards the entrance. "Come on." she says, though still keeps the claws on that second pair of arms unsheathed. "Let's go to camp." Her eyes flick between the two again. She makes no mention of the state of Lana's shirt - but then again, if there is anyone around who just treats skin as clothes, it's probably her.
	She waits at the side of the first still remaining terracottas. "I do presume there will be more trouble along the road. You do not put your strongest guards at an entrance easily avoided..."
Lanfear makes a few gestures with her hands, it's like archaic magic, as she draws the symbol of the dragon in the air before her. Anyone with special powers to sense magic can almost see the outlines as she performs her minor feat of magic. After a few moments the sensation wears off and Lana nods her head slowly. "No more magic, just echoes and trails of what has been." she then chuckles. "That what you explain is the tiger and dragon fighting isnt it?"

	Mo tucks his boomstick away in a holster concealed by his long shirtcoat. Then he looks over to both Xiu and Lana with an expression of extreme gratitude. "Thank you. I owe you for not letting the terracottas pulp me into next Tuesday."
MoGui has partially disconnected.

	"As I said, do not let your guard down yet.." Xiu remarks, her tail lightly flicking again as she stands there. "I suggest that if we stay down here for long, and tiredness finds us, that we sleep in turns. At least one should stay awake." With that said she turns and begins to head through the entrance properly this time, entering the area beyond - and heading for their little 'campsite'. Which is, really, not much to speak of at all - Mo and her didn't come down here packed for a camping trip. Heck. She came with just herself, really.
Lanfear rolls her eyes, and again they flash likes pure silver. "Don't mention it, the Dragon is more then willing to assist you should know this." she smiles softly as she glances over at Xiu and for the first time actually studies her carefully. She then looks at Mo and nods her head slowly. "A wise course of action indeed, Xiu is a wise woman."

	Mo is quite comforted by Xiu's presence, that much is clear. Having Lana around is an added bonus! He quickly falls into line at Xiu's suggestion. As he does so? He stumbles onto a lucky find! "Hey! Lookit!" He waves people over as he pulls a dusty tarp away and reveal a previous version campsite, complete with packs and supplies. What were the odds? The strange little sorcerer was certainly one lucky sonuvabitch!
MoGui's EFFECTIVE JOSS_(DHAMPYR) is at least 6

	At the call, Xiu turns - a bit faster than needed, given the tension still inside her. And her eyes narrow at the sight, with more than a little bit of suspicion. "How..convenient." she murmurs softly to herself, remaining where she is for a moment, though fully turning towards the revealed items. She leans forward as she finally moves towards them lifting one of her hands to brush some of her oh so logn braids back and she....sniffs a couple times. Still not getting *that* close. "...you mentioned others having come here before and never having returned?"

	Mo nods, "Yep. Tomb raiders. That sorta thing. Oh, and the guy Fu sent but that was at least near a full century ago I think. But to Fu it might as well have been yesterday." Dragons and notions of time were another thing entirely!
Lanfear sticks her hands into the pockets of her pants as she makes her way after Xiu to meet up with Mo and his findings and chuckles softly. "The dragon provides." she murmurs as she nods her head slowly. Then Xiu asks the question noone deep in a mine ever should and she shudders. "Lets hope the others were not, like us."

	"I have a feeling we might find them at some point either way." Xiu says as she finally crouches down next to one of the packs and begins to open it up. The advantages of four arms. Use two to handle the thing. Keep the other two drawn back to strike - just in case. Her taloned, strange long toes curl a bit on the dusty ground.

	Mo gives Lana a thumbs up and a broad grin, "I'm inimitable one of a kind accept NO substitutes!" Well, he certainly didn't lack in selfesteem! "And y'all are pretty nifty too. We're a good trio!" Then he drops into a crouch and scavenges through the found supplies. They all look to be WWI vintage - maybe a little older. But perfectly preserved!
