Phatthrice:
You've made up your minds - no holding back, now's the chance! While Maeda is distracted, you invade the Shadow Realm once more, but there's something clearly wrong this time. The landscape is familiar, but the sun is scorching. The world wavers, swaying in a heat mirage. The very grass shrivels under the burning sun, and you're sure if you stay too long, you'll wither just as well. One saving grace you quickly discover is that whoever holds the trident is unaffected by the heat, instead enjoying a cool, refreshing sea breeze.

Danjuro:
okay, everyone huddle around Kaori.
Phatthrice:
No!! There's no time to get lost in that breeze! Not long after you get your bearings, you notice familiar faces ahead, blocking the gate into the farm. They call out to you:

Sneaky Cobra:
"Agh, I knew it! You're the ones who pissed off the Queen, aren't you? This place sucks now! But it's good you showed up! Maybe if we kill you right this time she'll calm down...."
Phatthrice:
You don't let them distract you fully, though. Up on the hill is a strange woman with the body of a goat-like creature, and wicked-looking horns. She scrutinizes you much more quietly than the other two blowhards

Kaori:
"Bluh, we don't have time to deal with these clowns...we need to get through this fast..."

Danjuro:
"Oh, did you kill us wrong last time? Don't act like you even came close, bud! How 'bout you step down and we get to what we came here for?"

Slammin' Ogre:
"Over his dead body!"

Lethe:
"I... almost feel sorry for these guys..."

Lethe:
"I might REALLY, if they weren't in the way. Just get rid of 'em already!! I can't stand the heat!"

Kaori:
9 Init?
Kaori: (( Slow cleric always.... ))

Displeased Centaur:

Danjuro: (( Did I get the fireball necklace thrown on me ))

Displeased Centaur:
Uh probably IDK

Displeased Centaur:
Yall decided that
Kaori: (( I don't have it so sure ))

Displeased Centaur:

Kaori: (( Go for it ))

Danjuro: (( this is what I had but then you said "Takara has enough AoEs" ))

Displeased Centaur:

Danjuro: (( should we uh ))
Danjuro: (( snap to grid ))

Displeased Centaur:
NOW PLAYING Digimon Cyber Sleuth - Eater Battle Theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx-3vcquNmM

Displeased Centaur:

Lethe:

Lethe:
i am strictly off the grid

Lethe:

Sneaky Cobra:
The cobra sneaks up, one of his fang-hair-things snapping a good 10 feet toward Danjuro!

Sneaky Cobra:
22

Danjuro:

Sneaky Cobra:
5 damage

Danjuro:
Danjuro loses 5 hit points.
Danjuro has received initiative.

Sneaky Cobra:
The cobra man's face falls flat, "Uh...h-huh? I-I swear that looked like it hurt a lot more last time..."

Danjuro:
"Feel the heat!" Danjuro grips his necklace in one hand, channeling its energy into his falchion, then gives it a SWING

Danjuro:
22
Kaori: (( Are you just...smashing the whole necklace on them? lmao ))

Danjuro:
vs reflex
Danjuro: (( nah just channeling energy ))

Sneaky Cobra:
that's HER word
Danjuro: (( idk how the flavor of the necklace works ))

Danjuro:
13

Kaori:
Oh, was gonna say that's a power pla lmao

Danjuro:
yoo

Kaori:
You like throw one of the beads of it at an enemy and it explodes
Kaori: (( So I thought you were just smashing them with the whole goddamn thing. Which would be wild lmao ))

Sneaky Cobra:
It works a bit differently in 4e lol, it's an Encounter power to use one of the medallions

Sneaky Cobra:
can't burn down the entire state with one
Danjuro: (( was there a set number of uses? I just see the Encounter thing ))

Sneaky Cobra:
It's just Encounter
Danjuro: (( kk ))

Danjuro:
Also, due to the effects of Sunny Day, it does an additional 5 damage.
Kaori: (( I don't know if you want fire damage to do more in the sun my guy :V ))
Danjuro: (( only when it's convenient to us, of course. ))

Sneaky Cobra:
The flames erupt around the Cobra and the Ogre, engulfing the Ogre entirely as he disappears! The cobra, singed, backs away, "W-wait, is this actually YOUR fault somehow?!"

Slammin' Ogre:
i have no idea what any of these do

Slammin' Ogre:
but he's fuckin dead
Kaori: (( Let's hold up the other one so new kid gets a new Persona ))

Danjuro:
"Hoo! This thing gets the job done, don't it?"

Kaori:
"Alright! Bring the heat, Danpachi-san!"
Danjuro: (( Not sssure if Combat Challenge works here, but if so, Challenging the cobra. It just says "whenever you attack an enemy" ))

Displeased Centaur:
"...idiots. They stole that." The goattar flips around, and KICKS THE SHIT out of the dumbass sheep, sending it barreling down the hill!!....and as it does, it expands. Or, uh..multiplies?? What once was a single solitary sheeplet is now a katamari of bleating wool heading straight for you!

Displeased Centaur:
long as it doesn't say melee attack
Danjuro: (( it does nae ))

Kaori:
"Hwhuh?!"

Displeased Centaur:
27 vs Reflex

Displeased Centaur:
...oh

Displeased Centaur:
she is uh, very displeased

Danjuro:
sheemnp

Displeased Centaur:
21 damage to Kaori and Takara

Danjuro:
fffffuck

Kaori:
Fuck offfffffffff

Displeased Centaur:
crits are max damage.....

Takara:
also it knocks you prone, it's a move action to get up

Dumbass Sheep:
sheep noises

Lethe:
"WHOA!! Takara!! Hey, how hard did you KICK that poor thing?!"

Danjuro:
"What was that? Hell're those sheep made out of?! Damn it...!" Danjuro grips his sword, grimacing at the snake and centaur in turn

Takara:
Takara is barreled over by sheps, flat on his back, "W-what...?? Agh...Th-that hurt more than...the damned Shadows..."

Dumbass Sheep:
heavy duty wool, motherfucker

Dumbass Sheep:
I can say fuck because it's bleeped out

Dumbass Sheep:
but the bleep is a bleat

Kaori:
"Ugh...I don't feel so good..."

Lethe:
no don't disappear peter

Lethe:
not now
Kaori has received initiative.
Kaori: (( So standing up is my move action right? ))

Displeased Centaur:
Yes

Displeased Centaur:
The centaur paws the ground with her hooves, easily jumping down the incline, "You don't seem so tough."

Kaori:
Kaori climbs to her feet and shakes it off, "Alright, that was annoying...ugh..." She targets both the cobra and the centaur with bolts! 16 @ Cobra 22 @ Centaur vs Reflex

Displeased Centaur:
Both hit!

Kaori:
8 Lightning damage

Displeased Centaur:
Gotta roll for both, is that the :b:obra

Kaori:
"Mazio!"
Kaori: (( Oh, I thought you said last time it was only one ))
Displeased Centaur: (( For these I...think it's 1 acc and 1 damage roll for each, 1 at all for actual Area effects ))

Kaori:
9 Yeah, I'll do them in the same order.
Kaori: (( Sick. ))

Displeased Centaur:
Targeted: Ranged attacks target individuals. A ranged attack against multiple enemies consists of separate attacks, each with its own attack roll and damage roll. Ranged attacks don’t create areas of effect (page 272).

Displeased Centaur:
yea
Kaori: (( Okay so one for each and I did more to centaur bitch so she can fucking eat it. ))
Danjuro: (( I wanna pick up a sheep and throw it at her. Can I estimate how much one would weigh? ))
Kaori: (( Wooloo weighs 13lbs ))
Danjuro: (( perfect. ))

Sneaky Cobra:
"GUAAAHH!" The cobra boi is blasted back, crashing through the fence behind him, and disappearing, "HOOWWW"

Kaori:
"Not so tough, huh?"

Displeased Centaur:
You hit the centaur straight in the stomach, causing her hair to stand on end, "Ghhh... Well, that makes sense... The Queen wouldn't be paying any attention to you otherwise..."
Kaori: (( WAIT ))
Kaori has received initiative.
Kaori has received initiative.

Displeased Centaur:

Kaori: (( Raven Queen's Blessing ))
Kaori: (( I'm gonna spend a healing surge ))

Displeased Centaur:
nice

Displeased Centaur:
quarter of your HP
Danjuro: (( brbathroom ))

Takara:
"Ugh...Well, at least I can get up..." Takara summons a cloud of ice around the Centaur! 12

Takara:
But she too thiccc to notice....
Kaori: (( No, see, you're supposed to roll well with that character. ))
Danjuro has received initiative.

Takara:
"S-sorry... Still a bit shaken..."
Danjuro: (( 5e lets you break up movement however yea ))

Kaori:
"Shake it off, new kid...!"
Danjuro: (( I think I have juuust enough to do this. ))

Danjuro:
"You're a sturdy fella, huh? Just gonna borrow you for a sec-!"

Danjuro:
Danjuro scoops up a sheep! Rolling for it if necessary, shouldn't have any issues I don't think, then doubles back, spinning around to huck it at the tauress!

Danjuro:
21 thank you for the power that involves throwing things btw
Takara: (( You actually can't split up movement in 4e, but I'll allow it for now ))
Danjuro: (( oh right 4e ))

Danjuro:
11 Well anyhow

Danjuro:
+Marked

Danjuro:
if SHE'S gonna charge I'm bracing against it.

Displeased Centaur:
"Gah! Get it off me!" She PUNTS Dumbass Sheep 3, kicking it over your heads, then in fact does charge straight at Danjuro!

Displeased Centaur:
Dunno what the hell your weird scarf headband tumor thing is but it's close enough to a matador flag and I'm close enough to a bull
Danjuro: (( I'll give up my next turn to make an Athletics check to stop her from running us all over ))
Danjuro: (( actually wait my class abilities do that. ))

Displeased Centaur:
Sure, I'll allow that, but from now on you'll need to actually uh, Ready the action lol

Displeased Centaur:
She's charging directly at you regardless

Displeased Centaur:
25 vs Fort
Kaori: (( Bruhhhhhhhhh staaaaaaahp ))

Danjuro:
fuck lmao

Danjuro:
26 well here's my Athletics if it's worth anything

Kaori:
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Danjuro:
yooo my ROLLS
Kaori: (( POP OFF. ))
Kaori: (( THROW THAT BITCH TO THE GROUNDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD. ))
Danjuro: (( I mean she definitely still hits me hard ))

Displeased Centaur:
She gouges into your Persona form with her horns, but you grab on! you are not supposed to ride this bull that is lewd
Danjuro: (( but I'm grabbin her by the horns ))

Displeased Centaur:
7, and I guess we're uh both pushed 2 meters since you're holding on

Displeased Centaur:
nice

Displeased Centaur:
And also you are Dazed, which probably won't actually matter

Danjuro:
Danjuro loses 7 hit points.

Displeased Centaur:
means you can only take a Standard, Move, OR Minor, and no Immediates or vreactions

Danjuro:
uhh, move us as appropriate

Displeased Centaur:
"Let go of my HORNS! How would you feel if I yanked off your nose?!"

Danjuro:
"Ergh...!" Danjuro digs his heels in, kicking up scorched earth and ash as he brings the centaur to a halt
Kaori has received initiative.

Kaori:
Kaori readies a magical blast! Pew pew! 10

Displeased Centaur:
She's trying to dislodge her horns, probably intent on running away
Kaori: (( Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ))
Kaori: (( Come onnnnnnnnnnnnnnn ))
Kaori: (( Why do I always miss attacks that I have absolutely no logical reason to miss :V ))
Kaori: (( It makes fluffing that shit so hard. ))
Kaori: (( lmao ))

Displeased Centaur:
ponytail got in your way

Displeased Centaur:
it's a very large ponytail
Kaori: (( Literally point blank range and she's 100% distracted. ))

Dumbass Sheep 1:
maybe I bit your shoe

Danjuro:
pony got a tail

Danjuro:
maybe she whipped ya with it
Kaori: (( Just blast this bitch new kid ))

Dumbass Sheep 1:
She IS thrashing around

Dumbass Sheep 1:
So maybe you were trying not to hit Danjuro and overcompensated lol

Takara:
Me, though

Takara:
I don't give a FUCK if I hit Danjuro

Takara:
kid can take it he's got twice my fucking HP

Takara:
7 "Just hold her there!" He summons a cloud of icy daggers!

Takara:
he SUCKS

Takara:
a LOT

Takara:
But it still makes the cloud which does passive damage
Danjuro has received initiative.

Danjuro:
I offered this turn as tribute

Takara:
okay look i';m still kind of dying

Danjuro:
"S'what I'm doing, chief!"

Lethe:
"...she's RIGHT THERE!! Do you want ME to do it??"

Lethe:
"I sure hope not, cause I can't!!"

Lethe:
she is rather proud of this
Kaori: (( I love that I can only hit with the multi traget attack. And I'll hit both people. But I use literally any other attack and it's a death wish ))
Kaori: (( target ))

Takara:
"Suplex her, Danjuro!"

Displeased Centaur:
okay look I probably weigh like 300 pounds or some shit I don't think he can suplex me
Kaori: (( Just punch her REALLY HARD in the gut. ))
Danjuro: (( I can't do anything it's the Centaur's turn ))
Kaori: (( Or something ))
Kaori: (( Oh right, you gave up your turn didn't you ))
Danjuro: (( that was the deal to negate the line AoE lol ))
Kaori: (( That wasn ))
Kaori: (( PC: That wasn't even going to be a line AoE q8^) ))
Displeased Centaur: (( You're fine, lol. It wasn't going to be anyway yeah. You can still doa thing ))
Danjuro: (( well shid that was an 18 wasted then ))
Displeased Centaur: (( you're still Dazed,, though, so you literally can only do A thing ))

Danjuro:
yeah just Grappling Strike then, keeping her wrangled

Danjuro:
25

Danjuro:
ffffuCK these ROLLS

Danjuro:
falchion is High Crit lemme relook up what that is
Displeased Centaur: (( it just does extra stuff on a crit lol ))
Danjuro: (( aw man no extra crit range ))

Danjuro:
10

Danjuro:
+still grabbed, ofc

Displeased Centaur:
She's visibly weakened, only barely struggling anymore... Luckily, she doesn't know Kaori's checkin out her ass, or else she'd probably aim a kick there. Instead, she just punches Danjuro, "I said let GO!"

Displeased Centaur:
9 vs AC

Danjuro:
She punches Danjuro's armor.
Kaori has received initiative.

Danjuro:
"How 'bout you stick to goring people?"

Lethe:
i stg if you miss again I'm gonna flay you alive

Displeased Centaur:
"Gladly, if you'll let GO!"

Danjuro:
"Yeah we're not doing that."
Kaori: (( Hey, I hit both of them. ))
Kaori: (( New Kid hasn't done anything ))

Displeased Centaur:
"I, uh.. Gh. I surrender... It was stupid to think I could fight here."
Kaori: (( Actually, did she take damage from his ice knives? ))

Displeased Centaur:
yes

Displeased Centaur:
it's equal to his wisdom mod.

Displeased Centaur:
which is 2.

Danjuro:
"Surrender, huh? Good with you two?"

Kaori:
"Hrmmmm...what's in it for us?"

Takara:
"...Yeah, sure." It's the noble thing to do! And you're pretty sure he doesn't wanna risk getting knocked the fuck out by a stray hoof

Displeased Centaur:
"...you really are conniving, huh... I don't have anything to offer right now. Unless you want a sheep..."

Lethe:
not even cats, smh

Kaori:
"I do want a sheep. But that's beside the point."

Displeased Centaur:
"...fine, if you let me go, I'll pay you? Don't get your hopes up, though..."

Kaori:
"That's more like it!" She beams with pride at conning a half-dead monster out of money.

Displeased Centaur:
She takes some coins out of a side-saddle pocket, "Here, just take it, if you'll let me go. Better than what you did to those idiots..."

Displeased Centaur:
It's like 40 gp; not NOTHING, it'd probably buy like 150 chickens, but how does that translate to sheep?

Danjuro:
Danjuro lets go of she horns

Displeased Centaur:
She quickly retreats, shaking her head furiously, "Finally..."

Kaori:
"Hey, you guys started it. Anyway, we should keep going, we don't have time to waste on these guys."

Displeased Centaur:
"...don't look at me like that - I'm done here..."

Danjuro:
He points towards the most open stretch of area. "Don't want to see you turning up later."

Displeased Centaur:
"Yeah, yeah..." But as she backs off to leave, her forehead ignites! A strange brand, like a fork of snaking flame, erupts on her head! "ARRGHH! Wh--NO!"
Phatthrice:
The heat suddenly intensifies. The searing upswing is accompanied by a fiery tongue, coming from the farm ahead of you, "What's this? Groveling at the feet of these fools? I don't know why I expected better from you."

Kaori:
"We...should probably go..."

Fire Queen:
"And now you're trying to run, after pilfering gold from my lackey? Right little thieves you are, at heart."

Kaori:
"Oh, she came to us. That's good."
Kaori has received initiative.
Kaori: (( was kind of expecting a chance to heal between battles, but it's also why I didn't use any encounter powers juuuuuuuuuuuust in case ))

Displeased Centaur:
The centaur claws at the brand on her head, "M-make it stop! I..I'm sorry, your majesty..."

Displeased Centaur:
You can spend a Healing Surge, and your encounter Powers do refresh if you used them lol
Kaori: (( Oh cool, I will then :V ))
Danjuro: (( we all can, I assume ))

Danjuro:
Danjuro is healed and gains 12 hit points.

Danjuro:
back to full bby

Kaori:
close enough

Kaori:
"Well, I guess since you came to us, that solves one problem..."

Danjuro:
"Ha! Didn't want to waste time yourself, huh?"

Takara:
i am still bloodied

Danjuro:
"I just wanna know how the hell you thought you were going to get away with this!"

Fire Queen:
"Hahahaha! Full of yourselves, aren't you? This is not a test you can study for. I'm afraid you don't have a chance."

Takara:
"You're afraid? That makes one of us." brave words from a dying boy scout
Kaori: (( This is not combat yet, correct? ))

Fire Queen:
Not yet

Danjuro:
anyway uhh is centauress still like, writhing in pain

Displeased Centaur:
yes

Displeased Centaur:
She forehead is still aflame
Kaori: (( I choose to scoot away from her. ))

Displeased Centaur:
dick
Kaori: (( Would she prefer I put her down? ))

Danjuro:
I'm gonna throw something at her

Danjuro:
not

Danjuro:
the centaur

Kaori:
"You're real full of yourself for someone who's picking on a bunch of teenagers! You're supposed to be helping them, not making yourself look good. You're nothing but an egotistical monster!"

Danjuro:
"Hey, cut that shit out!" 8 (Throwing Axe/bat lol) "Eyes over here!"

Danjuro:
that was a warning shot clearly

Fire Queen:
did you throw the whole ass bat at her

Danjuro:
I have more

Fire Queen:
that's good

Danjuro:
"That's some real horseshit, you know?! How're you going to try to lead through fear?"

Fire Queen:
The fire queen doesn't flinch as the bat sails toward her. Before it hits her, a shimmering mirage of flame consumes it, burning it to ash. She swipes the debris out of the swirling flames, "You would threaten a queen? You really are hopeless."

Fire Queen:
i have no idea how to give her an aura that actually works but

Fire Queen:
If you step to her you will take fire damage
Kaori: (( Like one square adjacent? ))

Danjuro:
well, that sucks, but is more or less inevitable.

Fire Queen:
Yes
Kaori: (( Unless I put her out :V ))

Fire Queen:
"You're the fools. I AM helping them. The ones who matter."
Kaori: (( But we might want to save that. ))
Danjuro: (( my goal is absolutely to drag her into the river. ))

Fire Queen:
"Trash isn't worth my help. The best you can hope for is to be put to use by someone greater."

Fire Queen:
>drag her into the river
Kaori: (( The river would probably evaporate ))

Fire Queen:
okay you know how people do that thing where they lick their finger and then make a SSSSHHH sound when they touch their butt see that would aCTUALLY HAPPEN with this chick do you really wanna drag her ANYWHERE
Danjuro: (( look ))
Danjuro: (( my entire build is grabbing people. ))
Danjuro: (( I have one thing. ))
Kaori: (( I'm just waiting for her to turn into a giant monster form. ))
Danjuro: (( Now, granted ))
Danjuro: (( It might work with more team coordination ))
Danjuro: (( Kaori can douse her, Takara can freeze her while she's doused ))
Danjuro: (( then I can drag her in there before she reignites ))
Kaori: (( The douse is encounter, so we have to make it count btw ))
Kaori: (( I've also got a vortex that does cold and immobilizes ))
Kaori: (( That's 3 burst though, so I have to be kind of close-ish and I'm gonna assume us bunching up isn't a great idea. ))

Fire Queen:
sinisister

Fire Queen:
11 Roll that init, baby

Danjuro:
reroll?

Takara:
Yes

Danjuro:
new encounter so

Takara:
21 I literally can't do worse

Danjuro:

Kaori:

Kaori: (( Improved init ))
Danjuro: (( PCs win on tie so ))
Danjuro: (( we good ))
Kaori: (( Oh, I didn't see her roll an 11 ))
Danjuro: (( but yeah holy shit lol ))
Kaori has received initiative.

Takara:
Oh hey I'm first huh

Takara:
You know what'd be nice if like...any of my non-daily powerrs did any amount of damage whatsoever
Kaori: (( Oh right, two attacks for her. ))

Takara:
"I'll freeze her in place!" And so he tries, with a blast of ice!

Takara:
24 I actually forgot the +1 from the orb but his rolls were so shit it wouldn't have mattered lol

Fire Queen:
NOW PLAYING Team Grimoire - Capsaicin https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fll41ls8CN0

Takara:
9 now if only it applied to damage

Fire Queen:
The Fire Queen is knocked down by the sudden squall(whatever.)! "Ice magic...Hmph, maybe you did study after all." Flames swirl around her, slowly cleansing the air of the temporary chill
Danjuro has received initiative.

Danjuro:
18 "Hey, way to show up, prez! Here's the follow-up!" (Villain's Menace)

Danjuro:
it HIT

Fire Queen:
You take 5 Fire damage

Danjuro:
Danjuro loses 5 hit points.

Fire Queen:
And, y es, it does hit

Danjuro:
16 you gain a +2 power bonus to attack rolls and a +4 power bonus to damage rolls against the target until the end of the encounter. (Additionally, Minor Action for the gloves' +2.)
Danjuro: (( nvm it's a free! ))

Fire Queen:
oh that was the damage roll huh

Danjuro:
Danjuro rushes in, jumps into the air, and SWINGS he falch'n down at the Fire Queen
Kaori: (( So we get +2 to our accuracy? :V ))
Kaori: (( And +4 to damage? ))
Danjuro: (( it's just for me sry ))

Fire Queen:
For the record, while Prone, you grant combat advantage to melee attacks, but ranged attacks take a -2 penalty
Kaori: (( Oh ))

Fire Queen:
But she's boutta stand up anyway so
Kaori: (( You said you so like, I figured it was for other people :V ))
Danjuro: (( I just copy/pasted it lol ))

Fire Queen:
Maeda climbs to her feet, then throws her hand to the sky, causing a curtain of flame to rise around her, before billowing out toward Danjuro! 11 vs Fort
Danjuro: (( Standing up provokes AoO? ))

Danjuro:
yea nah

Fire Queen:
I don't THINK it does in 4e actually

Fire Queen:
Also, you take no damage, but you're Pushed back 3 squares
Danjuro: (( yeah I'm not finding it either ))
Kaori: (( So can I move, attack and minor action? ))
Danjuro: (( Stand your Ground, just gonna go back 2. ))
Danjuro: (( which is awkward af in diagonals but w/e ))
Fire Queen: (( And yeah you can do all of those ))
Kaori has received initiative.

Kaori:
Kaori decides to step away from everything flammable, including her allies ever so slightly. Then she casts Bless as a minor action, so +1 to attack rolls for the entire encounter. Then I'll pop Daunting Light! 13
Kaori: (( Which is, of course vs. Reflex and therefore misses ))
Kaori: (( It's also encounter so I wasted my turn, sick. ))

Fire Queen:
It still grants the combat advantage regardless

Fire Queen:
"Hah! You think to attack ME with light? That has no soul... I will show you blazing light, cast by flames!"

Fire Queen:
Radiant spears of flame rain down on Kaori from above! 24 vs Fortitude

Fire Queen:
21 Fire damage, and the area in the Burst is set ablaze! Anyone who ends their turn there takes 5 Fire damage

Danjuro:
fuuuckk.

Fire Queen:
(remember you have uhhhhh, 7 Resistance against Fire I think

Fire Queen:
The fire Queen smiles, her grin erupting in a blaze that consumes her as she disappears into the fire, only to appear next to you in the fire!

Fire Queen:
Danjuro, you take 5 damage

Fire Queen:
Kaori's basically immune to it lol

Danjuro:
Danjuro loses 5 hit points.

Danjuro:
bitch
Kaori: (( It heals me +2 ))

Takara:
"Gah - how did she.."

Danjuro:
"Doesn't matter, just try to control those flames!"

Takara:
"Uhhhh.....sure.... Don't get hit!"

Fire Queen:
k i won't
Kaori: (( So the +11 vs Reflex. Was there supposed to be something in front of that? ))

Takara:
Huh
Kaori: (( Torrential Vortex just says "+11 vs Reflex" in the attack roll part ))

Takara:
oh, yeah. It's d20+11 lol
Kaori: (( Okay lol ))

Takara:
Takara's snowglobe swirls until the blizzard inside breaks free, and storms toward the queen!

Takara:
12 Please don't miss

Takara:
It misses

Danjuro:
hey don

Danjuro:
t
Kaori: (( You have to kill her Dan, none of us can hit :V ))
Kaori: (( How do you deal with cursed dice when you don't even have physical dice. ))
Kaori: (( We need to use a different program methinks ))

Takara:
17 Half of this

Takara:
And that whole area does 5 Cold damage to anyone who enters it or ends their turn there

Takara:
that was his daily, it missed
Danjuro: (( I feel like she's about to explode in a burst ))
Danjuro has received initiative.

Fire Queen:
gonna BLOW
Kaori: (( He forgot his +1 from bless ))

Fire Queen:
burb
Kaori: (( Not that it mattered. ))

Danjuro:
it MIGHT have

Fire Queen:
It did not
Danjuro: (( I'm listening to the Eden Shiva theme out of spite ))
Danjuro: (( and also because it's so good ))

Fire Queen:
ALSO, do remember

Fire Queen:
Action points exist, you can spend one to take an extra action(move, standard, or minor)

Fire Queen:
you have 1
Danjuro: (( each? ))

Fire Queen:
yes
Kaori: (( Did we determine how many actions it takes to switch weapons btw? ))

Danjuro:
"Gotta hope this hurts you more than me-!" Danjuro bites down hard on his bandana to steady himself, before using a Grappling Strike! 26

Danjuro:
12
Kaori: (( Only agi and the bad guys are allowed to get good rolls today, it seems ))

Danjuro:
and then, I'll spend my Action Point
Fire Queen: (( if you wanted to sheathe a weapon and draw another it would be two minors ))
Fire Queen: (( if you just drop the one you're holding and draw one it's a free and a minor ))

Danjuro:
for SLAMMING RUSH

Fire Queen:
you take 5 damage

Danjuro:
mhm

Danjuro:
Danjuro loses 5 hit points.

Lethe:
"Hawk, you're killin' it! Keep it up!" he's so gonna die

Danjuro:
"Time to cool off!" 18

Lethe:
"Nevermind, you suck!"

Danjuro:
vs... fortitude apparently?

Fire Queen:
she ain't so fortuitous, that hits

Danjuro:
Taking her to the rivah

Fire Queen:
you just gonna like

Fire Queen:
chain chomp her in there

Danjuro:
Hit: 10 + Strength modifier damage, and you knock the target prone. If the target is adjacent to blocking terrain, add your Dexterity modifier to the damage.

Danjuro:
15

Danjuro:
fuck me my rolls are on FIRE
Kaori: (( Lucky you :V ))

Fire Queen:
what's allowing you to drag her

Danjuro:
The Slamming Rush

Danjuro:
Effect: You move your speed. For each square you move, you slide the target 1 square to a square adjacent to you. The creature remains grabbed, and you do not provoke an opportunity attack from the target during this movement.

Fire Queen:
ah

Fire Queen:
so it's Murder Choke

Danjuro:
yes.
Danjuro: (( and I might as well Minor to get a healing surge. ))

Danjuro:
Danjuro is healed and gains 12 hit points.
Danjuro: (( that's racial out of the way ))

Fire Queen:
"Ag--what are you - " You POWA DUNK the Fire Queen into the water, which sizzles and boils around her
Phatthrice:
Near where you land, there's a panicked splash as something bursts out of the steaming water

Tricky Mermaid:
"H-how'd you know I was here?! Gah, I was gonna ambush you..."

Danjuro:
"You're giving me too much credit here!"

Fire Queen:
The water underneath you begins to boil furiously, and a geyser erupts beside you, carrying a fearsome scream along with it, "AAAAAAARRRRHHH!You will BURN for this!!" The geyser of water steams, an i na flash, it transforms into a tornado of roaring flame! It slowly descends back to the ground, carrying a much more fearsome Queen!

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
"You will ALL burn!" The fire swirls around her, blasting everyone around her!

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
10 vs Reflex

Danjuro:
nah

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
15 Half of this, and you lose a Healing Surge

Danjuro:
Danjuro loses 7 hit points.

Tricky Mermaid:
Tricky Mermaid loses 7 hit points.
Danjuro: (( I mean that probably won't come up. ))

Tricky Mermaid:
you'd think I'd resist Fire but I do not

Tricky Mermaid:
"Agh! Hey, what's the idea?! I'm on YOUR side! Or I was..."

Danjuro:
"What the hell, was there oil down there?!"

Danjuro:
"That's NOT how this was meant to go down."

Tricky Mermaid:
"Gh..No, you just REALLY pissed her off...."

Danjuro:
"Yeah, we did that BEFORE coming in here."

Lethe:
"Remember! This is HER cognitive realm! If she wills the rivers to turn to flame, they just might! Now get out of there!"
Kaori has received initiative.

Danjuro:
"Man...!"

Tricky Mermaid:
"Good idea..."

Tricky Mermaid:
(You're up MT)
Kaori: (( one sec ))
Kaori: (( Okay, I'm going to use a minor action to shift back a spot ))
Kaori: (( How many minor actions can I do in a turn? ))
Tricky Mermaid: (( Shifting 1 is a Move action, and you get 1 Minor a turn unless you trade in a Move Action ))

Tricky Mermaid:
or Standard
Kaori: (( Okay ))

Tricky Mermaid:
I didn't actually know you could trade Moves for Minors directly tbh
Kaori: (( Okay, so that's my move action ))

Kaori:
Then I use Beacon of Hope, which is burst 3. So all allies heal 5HP

Kaori:
All enemies are weakened until the end of my turn.

Danjuro:
Danjuro is healed and gains 5 hit points.

Tricky Mermaid:
6 actually

Tricky Mermaid:
Your mail increases it by 1 lol
Kaori: (( Is the trident two handed btw? I just sort of assumed but I didn't know lol ))

Tricky Mermaid:
It is yeah
Kaori: (( So I can drop my holy symbol and draw a new weapon with one minor, right ))
Danjuro: (( sounds right to me ))

Tricky Mermaid:
Yes, but then you won't have a holy symbol to use your powers until you pick it up
Tricky Mermaid: (( so anything with the Implement tag becomes unavailable I think ))
Danjuro: (( also, are you standing on the intersection of two AoEs? ))
Kaori: (( One of them is PC's ice I think ))
Kaori: (( And I nullify the fire afaik ))
Danjuro: (( that much is true, I'm not sure if Takara's isn't friendly fire ))

Tricky Mermaid:
The ice actually is friendly somehow
Danjuro: (( strange ))

Tricky Mermaid:
I didn't think it be like that but it do

Tricky Mermaid:
None of his other ones are lol

Tricky Mermaid:
Daily power privilege I guess
Kaori: (( So I'll draw the trident, action point and hit her with Torrential Vortex ))
Kaori: (( Sorry to make that hell, but it's close blast three so it hits both lmao ))
Kaori: (( Do I add any modifiers to that besides the +11 and +1 from bless? ))

Tricky Mermaid:
I don't THINK so, I think I calc'd in the half level already

Kaori:
27
Kaori: (( Blast is one roll right? ))

Tricky Mermaid:
oh wait no you do still add half level

Tricky Mermaid:
So it's a 28

Tricky Mermaid:
And yes, one roll

Tricky Mermaid:
Who's the both you're hitting
Kaori: (( Is the mermaid against us? ))

Tricky Mermaid:
Uhhh probably not really anymore but that power is CREATURES in the blast, not enemies
Danjuro: (( She said something about "I WAS on your side..." re: Flame queen ))

Tricky Mermaid:
So you'd probably want to angle it to not hit Danny lol

Danjuro:
and yeah uhh ow

Tricky Mermaid:
which would probably also not hit the mermaid
Kaori: (( Okay, I'll angle it down then so I don't hit those two ))

Danjuro:
I'll take her if she tries anything funny

Kaori:
5 Cold damage and immobilized save ends
Kaori: (( =3= ))

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
at least you HIT
Kaori: (( If I missed with fucking +11 I'd probably have just quit lmao ))
Danjuro: (( oh is she actually down? ))

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
That's immobilized lol
Kaori: (( No, she's immobilized ))

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
IDK what else to use
Danjuro: (( ...I definitely thought the 27 was your damage ))

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
prone is already prone.
Danjuro: (( fuk ))
Kaori: (( That was 1d8+3 lmao ))
Danjuro: (( yea. . ))

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
"AARHYAAH!! You had potential, you could have been great, but you squander it with these hoodrats..." Tied down by the rending waves, she BLASTS YOU ALL WITH FIRE instead! 13 vs Reflex

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
what the hell thatactually hits you

Danjuro:
yyyeah no
Kaori: (( Yep ))
Danjuro: (( I'm certain I have +1 or 2 to Reflex from something ))
Danjuro: (( gotta find it ))

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
I don't recall anything to Reflex lol

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
14 and Pushed 3
Danjuro: (( Oh, yeah, exactly 13 does it nvm ))

Tricky Mermaid:
The mermaid quickly dives down, but the waves still push her back
Kaori: (( That was fire, right? ))

Tricky Mermaid:
Yes
Kaori: (( Still bloodies. Oof, ouchie ))

Tricky Mermaid:
"TCh...Shoulda figured..."

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
20 saving throw vs immobilized

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
it's a good thing that wasn't my attack.
Kaori: (( COME THE FUCK ON ))

Danjuro:
Dan's uhhh pushed up against the wall by the force of the attack

Danjuro:
Danjuro loses 14 hit points.

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
The tendrils of water turn to flame and slither away! "You thought you could tie ME down? The only thing you've tied down is your worthless future!"

Takara:
okay look guys I'm gonna be real here I have ONE (1) good attack and I missed with it

Takara:
He can Slide her a square, you got any use for that kid

Kaori:
I might as well have no done anything last turn. I literally wasted an action point to do five damage and get hit in the face.

Danjuro:
not really no

Takara:
ten damage, she's vulnerable to cold
Danjuro: (( actually I guess sliding her would keep her from AoOing me as I climb up? ))

Takara:
and you did heal everyone lol

Takara:
13 Works for me
Kaori: (( I'm just mad at the dice, per usual ))

Takara:
I don't remember what that targets but it doesn't fuckin hit

Kaori: (( Okay, minor action, gonna use a healing surge ))
Takara: (( via Healing Word? ))
Kaori: (( Nay. ))

Danjuro:
centaur lady kick her in the dick

Takara: (( unless u got something else ))
Kaori: (( Oh ))
Kaori: (( Goddammit ))
Kaori: (( Fucking shit fuck son of a bitch ))
Takara: (( You haven't used healing word at all this encounter anyway lol ))
Danjuro: (( MT realizing he cannot do anything with his turn ))

Kaori:
1
Kaori: (( OH COME ON ))

Takara:

Danjuro:

Takara:
"How does she keep..."

Danjuro:
living? not sure

Takara:
also you DO have the potions of healing, which ARE a minor action

Takara:
they restore a flat 10 HP

Takara:
which tbh I think is better than a healing surge at this point lol

Kaori:
Fine, I'll do that instead.
Danjuro: (( spitefully? ))
Kaori: (( I didn't start out spiteful, these fucking dice are spiteful ))
Takara: (( And you still have a standard and move action, either of which you could trade for a minor to use healing word, or you could attack ))
Kaori: (( Then instead of moving I'll use healing word on agi ))
Danjuro: (( I think I'mma throw a sheep at her head. ))
Kaori: (( You roll the 1d6 instead ))

Danjuro:
sure

Danjuro:
hol up
Kaori: (( Also +6 it ))

Danjuro:

Takara:
You could jsut

Takara:
pick up the holy symbol
Kaori: (( Wouldn't that be my movement ))
Takara: (( It's a minor and a move(or standard) that you traded for a 2nd minor yeah ))

Takara:
I have no idea where the holy symbol is

Takara:
Have Danjuro yeet it toward you
Danjuro: (( it was about on the square to the right of the flower ))
Kaori: (( Did he actually heal from that btw? ))
Phatthrice:
oh yeah I just forgot to use the macro for it lol

Takara:
Takara is healed and gains 5 hit points.

Takara:
makes it simpler then
Kaori: (( And yeah, Dandan isn't really close enough so I don't really have anything else to do ))

Tricky Mermaid:
"Hmmmmm..... maybe Mamiyo was right.... HEY! You three! I got a deal for you!! You don't look so good, want a little help??"
Kaori: (( I should not have had the trident. ))
Kaori: (( I was dumb and didn't realize just how crippled I am without the holy symbol ))
Danjuro: (( Honestly uh ))
Danjuro: (( I feel like it could just be on a string ))
Danjuro: (( around your neck ))
Danjuro: (( that's how I usually envision holy symbols ))
Kaori: (( For flavor purposes it was supposed to be the little charm on my phone ))
Tricky Mermaid: (( You have to use it as an implement, so you gotta be wielding it ))
Tricky Mermaid: (( The same way Takara has to wield his OR ))

Tricky Mermaid:
B

Danjuro:
"Not in a spot to turn it down, what do you have in mind??"
Kaori: (( Exactly, and I dropped my phone ))
Kaori: (( So I'm literally worthless when she leaps across the map atm ))

Tricky Mermaid:
"Well, there's no way you're getting to her when she jumps around like this! Buuut...." She dives underwater, and you can hear a garbled whisper in your air, distorted by waves, "There are secret tunnels in the water. You could get to her...without her ever knowing! She'd never see it coming!"

Danjuro:
ok u could get to her maybe

Danjuro:
us, we are not fish people
Tricky Mermaid: (( whassa matter kid, can't swim ))

Danjuro:
not dozens of meters, under water, in combat, through pitch black tunnels, faster than running no

Danjuro:
this is the worst help of all time

Danjuro:
you're worse than the owl

Danjuro:
you had to TRY for that

Danjuro:
is of course what Danjuro thinks, but does not say

Tricky Mermaid:
"Alright, fine, you landlubbers - just hold off one more attack! I can open her up for you..."
Kaori: (( Before then ))
Kaori: (( Does new kid make a saving roll ))

Takara:
1 No

Takara:
no he does not
Kaori: (( I assume the trident didn't put out that out because it's supernatural ))

Takara:
I completely forgot he had that.

Danjuro:
I figured she could go walk and pick it up on her turn
Kaori: (( I'll give you the trident, bro ))

Takara:
He has never used any of his cantrips before now
Danjuro: (( Nice ))
Kaori: (( You'll actually hit with it ))
Kaori: (( It's +2 on top of all your other shit lol ))

Takara:

Takara:

Kaori:
Kaori hands it over to someone much more useful :V

Danjuro:
Charging is a thing, I'll get another +1 to hit

Takara:
well at least now you can shoot people again

Displeased Centaur:
>charge
Kaori: (( In theory ))

Displeased Centaur:

Danjuro:

Danjuro:

Danjuro:
oh it's not rly relevant vs one target but w/e

Danjuro:

Danjuro:
cold. Damage.

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
The fire spirit falls out of the air, but catches herself on the ground! She isn't out for the count yet!

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
ftr vulnerability doesn't double the damage lol, it just adds a set amount to it

Danjuro:
It is still cold damage.

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
Indeed

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
"You....Why... If this realm must burn to take you with it, so be it!"

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
She readies a massive torrent of flame, and sends it crashing through you!

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
22 vs Reflex

Danjuro:
yeah that's gonna hit

Takara:
I'm the only one with a passable Reflex and it hits me by a mile

Takara:
even Shield won't save me

Danjuro:

Danjuro:
she gets another turn before I do so lol

Tricky Mermaid:
See, she DOES, but I said you only had to survive one more attack and I'm gonna hold myself to that. The trickster Mermaid rises out of the pond behind the flame queen, and fuckin SHOOTS HER in the back! 22 Be real nice if this hit but it won't be that bad if it doesn't

Danjuro:
kill-stealing binch

Tricky Mermaid:
Probably not

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:

Kaori has received initiative.

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
actually I assume it's a round
Kaori: (( What's death saving ))

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
Okay it is, it's not fucking save ends stun lmao
Kaori: (( just a d20 ))
Kaori: (( ? ))

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
So the way death works - it's a regular Saving Throw, lower than 10 means you slip closer to death and if you get three of those before you get a chance to rest, you die

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
10-19 nothing happens

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
On a 20 you spend a healing surge as if you were at 0 HP

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
also if you hit your Bloodied value in negative HP you just straight up die
Danjuro has received initiative.

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
If you somehow miss this Danjuro I'm sorry

Danjuro:
thankfully, from the pushback

Danjuro:
I can charge again.

Kaori:
14

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
she's stunned so she's granting you combat advantage too

Danjuro:
11 Strength, proficiency, enhancement, charge, bless...!

Danjuro:

Danjuro:

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
+2

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:

Danjuro:
AC

Danjuro:

Danjuro:

Danjuro:

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
nice

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
But, yes, you missed

Danjuro:
cool

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
MT literally actually stole your roll

Tricky Mermaid:
"How could you MISS that?!"

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
"I will boil you alive!" She turns her back to you, and launches a tendril of flame at the mermaid!

Danjuro:
when do I get a second attack

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
23 vs Reflex

Danjuro:
oh god that's not a thing in 4e is it

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
No

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
Though uh, you do get an opportunity attack against her I guess

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
I didn't actually know THAT was at hing in 4e I thought it was tied to Combat Challenge

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
but it's juts a thing for all ranged attacks apparently

Danjuro:
bitchin'(?) 25

Danjuro:
10

Danjuro:
I won't say no to free damage

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
unfortunately since this is a MBA I don't actually know i--good lord that was the LOWEST you could rol??

Danjuro:
Villain's Menace is Good

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
15 fuckin damage will do it! You stab the hothead in the back as she readies her attack, and she slowly turns to face you, "I..you...You were PATHETIC! Why to...you..."

Tricky Mermaid:
"UHHHH, not what I had in mind, but good job??"

Danjuro:
"Save it!" Danjuro raises the trident in salute to the mermaid before rushing back to Kaori

Danjuro:
uh, assuming she dead

Aym, Hand of Branding Flame:
"AAagghh....NO...." Her form begins to waver, the fire dwindling to little more than cinders. The heat fades from the area, and the world begins to shake, "Y-you..."

Danjuro:
yea she dead

Danjuro:
we have one (1) more healing potion somewhere, using it on Kaori ofc

Danjuro:
"Hey! Hey, this thing working? Are you alright?"

Displeased Centaur:
The fire finally fades from the paralyzed centaur's head, "ugh...Th-thank...you..." She then collapses to the ground
Kaori: (( Does that put me up to one? ))
Lethe: (( It heals you for 10 HP ))

Lethe:
oh, it heals you 10 FROM ZERO

Lethe:
so up to 10

Lethe:
still prone tho

Lethe:
from bein KO'd

Lethe:
unless u die standing up
Phatthrice:
With Maeda's power beaten out of her, nothing besides your beaten bodies is stopping you from entering the building at the other end - which you suspect might reflect Maeda's office in the real world

Tricky Mermaid:
"Hehehe...not so high and mighty now, are you? Where's YOUR future, huh?"

Danjuro:
"Chief's looking bad, Kaori, you got any more healing juice in you?"

Takara:
nope only bone-hurting juice

Kaori:
"Ngh...y-..you did it...I thought we were gonna die for sure..."

Danjuro:
"Yeah, well. I almost boned it at the end there. One of the shadows gave me the chance to finish her off..."
Kaori: (( How many potions did we all get? ))
Kaori: (( I've only used one. ))
Danjuro: (( we got 2 total, I used one just now to get you up. ))

Kaori:
She wearily gives Danjuro the other potion, "Yeah...I've got this one..."
Danjuro: (( nnno I mean like, we're out. Do you not have any heals? ))
Kaori: (( Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh ))

Takara:
he's FUCKING DEAD
Kaori: (( I literally used all my heals in that fight ))

Takara:
20 look at this nat 1 death savings throw

Takara:
oh

Takara:
well

Takara:
uh

Danjuro:
sure okay that

Danjuro:
works

Danjuro:
where the FUCK was that in the fight, Takara
Kaori: (( Game had to get it out of the way ))

Takara:
chekhov's 20
Kaori: (( Because I was literally typing a d20 to do a heal check ))

Danjuro:
gonna just
Kaori: (( Which would've been 13 ))

Danjuro:
check on the damage here too
Kaori: (( Not enough to stablize him ))

Danjuro:
because god damn her head was on fire for a solid few minutes
Kaori: (( Because this game literally does not want me to have any fun at all or enjoy any of this. ))

Takara:
What's the required number? 15?

Kaori:
Yeah

Takara:
taking ten dosn't even do it.....................

Takara:
oh no it does you add half your level to skill checks lol

Takara:
so it would have exactly
Kaori: (( You nat 20'd anyway, didn't matter ))

Takara:
Somehow, warping through darkdeath and evilman, Takara rises, his eyes glowly faintly, "Ugh...I-I'm alive? Weird..."

Takara:
"I mean, you did it, Danjuro! Right?"

Danjuro:
"She's down. We need to move, though."

Danjuro:
"Don't have unlimited time here..."

Displeased Centaur:
The centaur has a brand very visibly etched onto her forehead, in the same shape as the fire - entertwining snakes, coiled in flame. She seems okay other than that

Displeased Centaur:
Well, I mean, she's still beat the fuck up

Displeased Centaur:
and mentally distraught and also passed the fuck out

Displeased Centaur:
but you know alive

Danjuro:
Danjuro thanks the mermaid for the distraction on the way to the office, and directs her towards the centaur who needs medical attention

Takara:
Takara whips out his camera, taking a few pictures of the distorting world, and the centaur, "I wonder how long this can hold..."

Danjuro:
"Kaori, you should frisk Maeda, see if she has anything we can use. I'll check out the office."

Kaori:
Kaori nods quietly.

Kaori:
She's still a little shaken from almost dying.

Tricky Mermaid:
"Medic--ugh, fine. Don't forget your debt to me!"

Lethe:
Lethe silently flits over and lands on Takara's shoulder, "You cut it WAY too close there! Uh, I mean that for everyone, of course... But at least you pulled it off in the end!"

Danjuro:
"We're almost out of here. You did good."

Lethe:
even if you fucking tripped over your own feet at the end

Lethe:
dumbjuro....

Danjuro:
it's a lot of pressure

Danjuro:
should have done the physical die roll

Danjuro:
fuckin 19

Dumbass Sheep 3:
I lived bitch

Kaori:
"It's...kinda weird to see you like normal in this world...Maeda-senpai..."

Maeda-Sensei:
Shadow Maeda has a lot of shit you can use, including the key to her office! But more immediate are her words. Short, and bitten off, she snaps at you, "Gh...Senpai this, senpai that... Treating me with such disrespect! Do you know how hard I worked to get to where I am?! And you... You ruined it all..."
Kaori: (( Probably should've sama'd actually, my derp ))
Kaori: (( Or sensei'd, yeah ))

Kaori:
"You ruined this for yourself...and if you had any sort of regrets, any sort of conscience...you'd own up to it in the real world."

Danjuro:
her office up here locked?

Maeda-Sensei:
"Real...? This, THIS is the real world. That fake imitation... Hmph, but I don't have a choice. You'll see...the students I lifted to greatness will defend me..."

Maeda-Sensei:
It is locked yes, she has the ky

Maeda-Sensei:
e

Danjuro:
yea I'll come back for it

Danjuro:
Needa talk to the mermaid though...

Danjuro:
"So. . . payment. I feel like I already have an idea what you're looking for. There was another one of you with a similar angle..."

Kaori:
"You have to know this isn't the real world, Maeda-sensei. And you have to know that what you've done isn't right, to all the people you've hurt and stepped on to boost your reputation up."

Maeda-Sensei:
She sneers at you, "What does it matter if I smelt a few delinquents to forge a brilliant mind? Would that I waste my time teaching remedial classes to the ignorant like that fool behind me, rather than invest in someone with a future?"

Lethe:
"I don't...think you're gonna convince her, Kaori..."

Tricky Mermaid:
"Yeah, come on. You've already done it once...What can it hurt? You can act as our conduit between worlds! Still don't understand how you do it, though...

Tricky Mermaid:
"

Lethe:
"This is just a Shadow, Kaori, it's the darkest reflection of someone! If you want to get through to her, it'd be best to try the real Maeda..."

Kaori:
"Even if she's a shadow she should still know when she's done wrong!"

Maeda-Sensei:
"...and what if I...accept that it's wrong? Shouldn't we accept every part of ourselves, even those we recognize as problematic...?" Her golden eyes shine fiercely, "Someone posited that to me once. I didn't agree, then...but now..."

Danjuro:
"Not sure on the details myself, it just works... and we're not really sure on the risks, either! That other girl, she's changed since we let her Shadow out... I didn't know her too well, but she wasn't like that before."

Maeda-Sensei:
"You want the key, right? Take it - it's yours. I can't do anything to stop you."

Danjuro:
"Not that it matters to you, that's what you want, huh?"

Tricky Mermaid:
"Well, duh! That's what we all want!"

Tricky Mermaid:
"For us Shadows, we're born into this realm, and we disappear when it crumbles. But if we get out...Well, who knows?"

Lethe:
"Seriously, Kaori! You're just gonna depress yourself talking to that thing. By beating her here, we've probably weakened her mental state in the real world...she ought to be more susceptible there."

Lethe:
"It... is kind of strange, though. The last time something like this happened, the Shadows seemed to fall into disarray after being beaten."

Danjuro:
"These ones seem pretty eager to get out. Is that normal?"

Danjuro:
gonna grab the key and get to the office while that's still an option

Lethe:
"No...it's not normal for them to even recognize that there IS another realm. Normally they wouldn't know."

Takara:
"Then we need to investigate why these do. Knowledge is power, you know."

Danjuro:
"Tag along, alright? I'll carry ya. Unless you're one of those mermaids that get human legs when it's convenient."

Kaori:
"So you're saying nothing's changed...? And we did all that for nothing...?"

Tricky Mermaid:
"Naaahh....but I can swim. Air, water, what's the difference?"

Lethe:
"I wouldn't say that. It's true that it hasn't had as profound an effect as the last time this happened...but that might only be in here. I think what you did with Kodaira had a positive effect! She seemed too downtrodden and shy to risk asking someone like Danjuro for help, before."

Danjuro:
fishwife and I are gonna go take some pictures then

Lethe:
"If we show Maeda evidence of her crimes, of the impact it's had on people's lives....evidence that she's trampled on so many futures that she claims to hold dear, I don't think she'll be able to hold it together."
Phatthrice:
The office indeed is a trove of information - student records, some marked with a red X, and some in a black envelope. There are notes on how to get certain kids to transfer or have them expelled. Also a buncha valuable stuff but who cares about that

Danjuro:
shinies you say

Takara:
"She might 'accept' it here...but a Shadow won't have the same connection to people in the real world. It may not register."

Kaori:
"I-...guess...I'm just scared it still won't work...if we all almost died for nothing then...I don't think I could forgive myself..."

Takara:
"I have no doubt that it will work. But...in the worst case, we tried, and can learn from it."
Phatthrice:
And yes there ARE shinies but they'll have to wait for later lol

Danjuro:
yee
Phatthrice:
I wanted to get to the confrontation with real-Maeda BUT we can do that in Discord
Phatthrice:
as it is midnight moon

Danjuro:
so if I can't fuck the owl, can I fuck the horse

Kaori:
NO.

Danjuro:
damn..
Phatthrice:
well fucking it won't literally kill it
Phatthrice:
so maybe
Phatthrice:
she a goat tho

Danjuro:
Goats don't get to be centaurs
Phatthrice:
goat...bull...thing

Danjuro:
whatever she is she fine

Danjuro:
crafted a -shit ton- of materials during that.

Danjuro:
dancer is now iLevel 480 and has no right to be
