Masakari (Kuutai): =)
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): being alive is good
TADM: Alive is a good thing.
Feneril (Ikuko): Lets not make make overgeneralized statememnts there
Masakari (Kuutai): deathly afraid of the alternative?
Kuutai crawls out from the wreckage of the bar and see several void zombies shambling towards him. Hida Sashimi gets buried under the remnants of the second floor of the building as it comes crashing down.
Round 1
Dealing cards...
Masakari (Kuutai): Oh lawl....
Kuutai: What did you people do!?!!?
Feneril (Ikuko): is Ikuko close enough to participate?
Feneril (Ikuko): And by participate, I mean "give Daichi +1 toughness"
Ikuko: Vigor [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 2]
Masakari (Kuutai): JOY
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): and Kazuhiko

Pokuri: Ki Focus [2] [1d6 = 2]
Pokuri: Ki Focus [3] [1d8 = 2]
Pokuri: Ki Focus [4] [1d8 = 3]
Masakari (Kuutai): fuck, someone else knows that trick!
Sensei: Yeah, but she doesn't do it as well as Kuutai, since she only hits Kazuhiko.
Sensei: [3d6 = 14]
Pokuri: (Kazuhiko): oh, balls
Masakari (Kuutai): Also - Mike, when are you available IRL? I seem to owe you a copy of fraps.
Pokuri hits Kazuhiko in the chest and sends him flying. Smarts Check + Shaken + 2 Wounds.
Masakari (Kuutai): Lol
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): Whenevs, man, whenevs. I'm especially open on Tuesday/Wednesday. One of those days is Rippers, neither day will have anything in the evening.

Kazuhiko dives behind a piece of what was a table at the last second and it explodes instead of him.
Yukiko casts Armor on Kazuhiko.
Yukiko: Spellcasting +2 [1d12+2 = 13]
Kazuhiko: Whew, thanks. Are you OK?
Yukiko nods silently and looks a little shocked.
A suit of completely inconspicuous glowing white armor encases Kazuhiko, granting him a +5 to Toughness.
TADM: And by "completely inconspicuous" I mean, "Hello all the Oni and Void Walkers of the World, I am standing RIGHT HERE" kind of way.
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): wtf, I didn't think Armor could get above +4
Masakari (Kuutai): its MAGIC. =)
Feneril (Ikuko): dont complain stupid
Kazuhiko: o.O
TADM: It can if you have the Edge that gives you a +1 Toughness on all Defensive Magic. :)

Masakari (Kuutai): ZOMBIES!
Void Zombie viciously claws Kuutai (with a RAISE) and does not even get past the Onmyouji's Toughness to make him Shaken.
Void Zombie: I suck.
Kuutai: Don't feel down - You just need to get a life, you'd feel better.
Void Zombie tries to claw Yukiko, but Kazuhiko leaps in the way and takes the blow instead, becoming Shaken.
Ikuko: Don't listen to him, there is nothing wrong with your un-lifestyle choices

Ikuko
Masakari (Kuutai): :tears:
[TOWER] Ikuko -> Intimidation {+5 Dealthy Pallor, -2 Blind} [1d6+3 = 12]
Ikuko: Might I suggest you focus your collective attention on the powerful magic user and ignore these zombies for the time being?
Ikuko: They don't seem to be doing too much damage

Pokuri: [3d6 = 6]
Pokuri: [3d6 = 14]

Sensei: Both Daichi and Kuutai survive the assault with minimal issues.
Masakari (Kuutai): But we are bleeding bennies.
Masakari (Kuutai): And she still has bennies.
Masakari (Kuutai): The bennies are the combat....the combat is the bennies....
Yukiko: Hear me now, I call upon the Kami to cleanse this taint!
Yukiko throws her arms out in a wide arc and a spray of silver light comes from her hands.
Feneril (Ikuko): Don't hit Ikuko!
Yukiko: Spellcasting +2 [1d12+2 = 7]
Masakari (Kuutai): HAHHAHAHAHHAHH
Masakari (Kuutai): JUSTICE
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): BWAHAHAHAHA
Yukiko: [4d6 = 15]
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): Hey, Kuutai, aren't you undead as well?
Masakari (Kuutai): Technically not.
TADM: Which is a good thing...
Masakari (Kuutai): reincarnated is the not-guilty verdict of the undead world.
The silvery spray showers the area like a giant bottle of glitter exploded in an air burst shell.

Feneril (Ikuko): that is 1/3 of the party
Feneril (Ikuko): 1/3 is a high ratio of undead to living
The glitter strikes Ikuko and burns into her skin, leaving long smoke trails rising from her skin and her hair catches fire.

Masakari (Kuutai): Nice!

Kazuhiko uses his momentum to throw her through the wall

[TOWER] Ikuko -> Intimidation {+5 Dealthy Pallor, -2 Blind} [1d8+3 = 10]
Masakari (Kuutai): Hey man, you have to respect honestly.
Masakari (Kuutai): Fen, You are a stand up guy.
TADM: I give Fen full credit for announcing his plans beforehand. Just like last week.
TADM: Also, Dave, would you be ready to start Accordlands next week?
TADM: Also, I am awarding Fen a benny for being completely in-character.
Ikuko has been awarded a benny
Kuutai: Uh...the hard drive is in Vancouver. Im...in lansing? I know GMS should challenge the players...but....
Masakari (Kuutai): Uh...the hard drive is in Vancouver. Im...in lansing? I know GMS should challenge the players...but....
Feneril (Ikuko): well, if we need something to fill a few weeks I can break out one of my episodic pulp serial settings
Yukiko: Spirit [1d10 = 7]
Feneril (Ikuko): I converted them all to SW a while ago
Masakari (Kuutai): Honestly Mike, Ikuko and Fen are more trustworthy than any of us; He was COMPLETELY honest with the risk of TPK
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): You know, I thought about how Ikuko would be trustworthy in this situation
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): Because her life depends on it as does all of ours
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): and the fate of the world
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): What are the odds that she tries to attack Yukiko the moment I leave her side?
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): Nah, she wouldn't do that.
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): That would be suicidal
Feneril (Ikuko): There is nothing like a white-hot, disfiguring bath in what basically ammounts to white phosforus to piss a chick off
A stream of black howling skulls flies from Ikuko's hand and hits Yukiko in the face. Yukiko flies backwards, batting at the skulls with her hands while trying to defend herself from the attack. A white mist pulls free from Yukiko and coalesces into a giant glowing white fox. The fox smashes the skulls into nothingness and charges at Ikuko.
Kazuhiko: Yukiko!
Fukushu the Forsaken: DAMNED ONI QUEEN! I SHALL DEVOUR YOUR SOUL!
Ikuko: I hope you like an eternity of indigestion

Masakari (Kuutai): <3
Pokuri: Spirit [1d8 = 15]
Masakari (Kuutai): (sardonic smile)
Yukiko (ooc): Also, I'm prohibited from fighting Pokuri, so really, my whole contribution to this fight was going to be dispelling Zombies.
Pokuri: Fighting {+1 Empty Hands} [1d10+1 = 7]
Feneril (Ikuko): zombies... AND MY HAIR
Feneril (Ikuko): I JUST HAD THAT PERM DONE
Pokuri swings at Daichi and misses.

Kazuhiko retires from combat
Pokuri wonders what Kazuhiko is trying to do...
'Armor' on Kazuhiko expired
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): is clearly no longer focused on Pokuri...
Kazuhiko is clearly no longer focused on Pokuri...
Kazuhiko starts to slide past her
Yukiko: Fukushu, stop!
Yukiko: Spirit [1d10 = 14]
Yukiko holds out her hand and points it at the ground like she is scolding a dog.
Fukushu the Forsaken runs back over and growls at Yukiko, then spits Ikuko's head on to the floor and urinates on it.
Ikuko: Consider yourself uninvited from the wedding
Yukiko: You are being bad! Go back until I call for you. She was not going to permanently hurt me.
Fukushu the Forsaken: [2d8 = 2]
Fukushu the Forsaken smashes Ikuko's skull into pieces with his hind foot, then vanishes into nothingness.
Pokuri makes a mental note to not anger Yukiko.

Kuutai: [1d8 = 1]
Masakari (Kuutai): askdfhaslkfjadfja
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): YOU FUCKER
Kazuhiko: NOM
Masakari (Kuutai): Can't nom damage.
Sensei: Umm...why did you roll 1d8?
Masakari (Kuutai): Isnt Widowmaker 1d8?
Sensei: It would be at least 2d6 when Kuutai attacks.
Kuutai: [2d6 = 11]
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): Oh, nevermind. I thought that was target selection
Kuutai: [1d6 = 4]
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): I take that back. You're a swell person, Kuutai
Pokuri: Spirit [1d8 = 2]
Pokuri: Vigor [1d6 = 3]
Pokuri: Well, I'm out of bennies and that was a really bad time to not roll above a 3 on Spirit and Vigor.
Pokuri looks at Kuutai.
Pokuri: BASTARD!
Kazuhiko looks horrified
Kuutai: What? Now you dont't want her dead after all those moves, Kazuhiko?
Kazuhiko: Something like that wouldn't have killed her, just knocked her out!
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): I specifically did Nonlethal Damage
Pokuri screams as Kuutai stabs her with the Widowmaker. Her body goes limp and then a shriek echoes from Pokuri's chest as bolts of black lightning arc from the Widowmaker and dessicate her body. Within seconds all that remains of her is a small pile of dust. The Widowmaker lets out a rather contended belch.
Daichi: I must get a sword like that some day
Yukiko looks irritated at Kuutai.
Yukiko runs over to the pile of dust and prays for Pokuri.
Daichi: No, what am I saying, the power is too great for me to wield
Daichi: I am a man of peace
Daichi turns to look for Ikuko
Masakari (Kuutai): And remember kids - Only you can prevent trajedy via asymmetric information GI-JOOOOOOEEEEE
Sensei: Actions? Kuutai's "incoming bad things sense" tells him that a whole slew of Void Walkers is going to arrive in 2 rounds because Pokuri called for backup.
Kazuhiko: She did not deserve such a fate.
Daichi is aghast at the sight of her headless body.
Kuutai: We can dicuss that later....We must get outta'ere
Kazuhiko: Yukiko, we need to get moving
Yukiko scoops up Pokuri's remains into a small bag for later burial.
Kazuhiko nods
Yukiko: Yes, we can go.
Yukiko is crying for Pokuri.
[TOWER] Ikuko -> Streetwise {+2 Most High, -5 Deathly Pallor, +4 Very Attractive, +2 Fine Attire, -2 Blind, +2 Charismatic, +1 Cultured} [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6+4 = 9]

Kazuhiko: To the basement. The tunnel is down there.
Kazuhiko: Let's get going
Yukiko: Agreed.
Yukiko looks at Kuutai.
Yukiko: Are you okay?
Ikuko's head spontaneously gathers up from the ground into a small bag on Ikuko's body
Daichi picks up Ikuko's headless body and carries it down the tunnell with the others.
Kuutai: Uh...Im Ok....but...Uh? No one said not to do that? Um....????
Kuutai: I feel guilty here?
Yukiko: It is not your action, it is violence in general.
Yukiko: You did nothing other than what you have done in the past.
Yukiko heads downstairs and into the tunnel.
Kazuhiko follows Yukiko
Kazuhiko: Let's go Kuutai, we should discuss this later
Kuutai follows, but is contemplative
Daichi: If you oppose violence so much, then what happened to my lady's head?
Kazuhiko: Karma
Kuutai: With a Name like Fukushu, it had to do such things, or the crowd would demand a refund.
Kuutai: SO don't feel too bad.
Yukiko: I am sorry Daichi, she used one of her powers on me and a...guardian...responded slightly more violently than he should have.
Yukiko: I am truly sorry.
Daichi: It is not your fault. I have failed her utterly as a protector
Kuutai: Kazuhiko - Will these tunnels be lit, or do you require....aid?
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): were they lit last time?
The tunnels are lit with torches, and you run along them without further incident.
Daichi: I promised to keep her safe, but she has experienced nothing but suffering since we left Ikusa Kokoro
Sensei: ...well, except that the Void Walkers arrive and head down the tunnels after you....
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): do the doors lock?
Oki: Hey all! What is going on?
Kazuhiko: Void Walkers
Oki: And...why is that man carrying a headless corpse?
Oki: And...oh...
Kazuhiko: Do you have a good way to collapse this part of the tunnel
Daichi: Because I am a failure
Oki looks at Kazuhiko.
Oki: Well sheet.
Kuutai: Yukiko - If you abhor violence, implore the earth kami to make whole what man has carved into the earth!
Oki: Run fast?
Yukiko nods to Kuutai.
Kazuhiko: Way fast. It's a good thing Hida got away, because he does not run fast
Yukiko: Keep going. It will take me a few seconds.
Yukiko stops and begins whispering a prayer.
Oki is not hanging around to see what happens.
Daichi gets far away from Yukiko
Yukiko: Spellcasting +2 [1d12+2 = 12]
Void Walker: There she is!
Void Walker: Stop her!
Void Walker launches Void Bolts at Yukiko.

Kuutai attempts to swat them from the air with the Celestial Staff(TM)
Kazuhiko: how many Void Walkers?
Kuutai: Agility [1d4 = 3]

Sensei: Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that Kazuhiko's shiny armor wore off.
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): That means it never wore off...?
Daichi sets Ikuko down and draws his sword to face down the Void Walkers
Sensei: No, it did when you entered the tunnel.
Feneril (Daichi): brb, more booze required.

Void Walker: [2d6 = 5]
Void Walker: [2d6 = 6]
Void Walker hits Kazuhiko, Smarts check.
Void Walker hits Daichi for a Smarts Check + Shaken.
Kazuhiko: Smarts [1d6 = 3]
Daichi: Smarts [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 3]
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): We both got a 3. We should be friends.
Feneril (Daichi): Your girlfriend decapitated my lady.
Feneril (Daichi): Not a good start
Void Walker hits Yukiko twice for (Smarts Check + Shaken + 2 Wounds) and (Smarts Check + Shaken + 2 Wounds.)
Sensei: So Kazuhiko is Shaken and Daichi is Shaken + 1 Wound after those rolls.
Ikuko is using a benny
Daichi: Vigor {+1 BATH TIME} [1d8+1 = 7]
Sensei: Daichi shakes off the damage.
Kazuhiko: Smarts [1d6 = 5]
Kazuhiko is using a benny
Kazuhiko: Vigor [1d6 = 4]
Kazuhiko: Wait, did I fail my Smarts check?
Sensei: No, you passed.
Kazuhiko: Smarts [1d6 = 4]
Kazuhiko is using a benny
Kazuhiko: Vigor [1d6 = 5]
Ikuko: Spirit {+2 vs. Shaken} ( -7, -4 (Headless) -4) [1d10-9 = -1]
Yukiko finishes her spell and the ground rumbles, then the tunnel seals into a solid form.
Yukiko apologizes to any earthworms or insects she has just inconvenienced.
Feneril (Ikuko): I didn't hear any apologizing when you sprayed me with chemical weapons
Kuutai: Deftly solved, Yukiko-sama.
Yukiko (ooc): You are not a living creature.
Yukiko: Thank you for the wisdom of your suggestion.
Yukiko bows to Kuutai.
Feneril (Ikuko): You are so racist. Undead have feelings too
Yukiko: Spellcasting +2 [1d6+2 = 7]
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): Undead aren't a race, they're a subtype
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): a template, so to speak
Yukiko casts a Healing spell on Kazuhiko.
Kazuhiko: Oh. That feels much better. Thank you.
Yukiko: We need to keep going, they will figure out how to get past that.
Kazuhiko: Absolutely
Masakari (Kuutai): I would watch that mouth - I have done a decent amount of healing this time 'round. Its not limitless like with Blessed(R)
Daichi picks Ikuko'd body up again and continues on down the tunnel, sobbing softly as he goes
Sensei: In a few minutes, the group catches up with Kaori.
Kaori: Oh my kami! What happened to Lady Ikuko?
Hanno: She lost her head it seems.
Kazuhiko: Oh, good day, Hanno-san
Daichi: I am hopeful that she will recover
Hanno looks at Daichi.
Daichi: If she does not, then my failure will be complete
Hanno: Have you considered cremation?
Daichi looks horrified
Kaori: Wow, like totally icky...
Daichi: I would never
Kuutai: Daichi. Do not despair.....give me an hour- one who lives on the edge of life may be recalled and made 'whole' again....
Daichi: As long as there is a chance she may recover, I will not allow any such defilement.
Hanno: So you brought Kaori here, but there is no guarantee the Void Walkers will not find her. Unless you figured something out?
[TOWER] Ikuko -> Spirit {+2 vs. Shaken} (Wound Penalty -7, -4 (Headless) -4) [1d6-9 = -4]
Kazuhiko: Right, Kaori, you need to remove your earrings
Hanno looks at Yukiko and contemplates a menage a trois between him, Kaori, and Yukiko.
Kaori: My earrings? But my father said I needed to keep them...
Feneril (Ikuko): yeah, leave out the headless chick why don't you
Kazuhiko: The Void Walkers use them to track
Hanno (ooc): Because he specifically stated he does not have sex with undead creatures. If Ikuko was alive he would have shagged her first chance he had.
Kazuhiko: I've found that they've used similar things before.
Kaori: Oh, I don't know much about such things.
Kazuhiko nods
Kaori takes off the earrings and hands them to Kazuhiko.
Hanno: So that was it?
Corpse-zuki: I suggest we send those away somewhere rather than destroying them
Hanno looks at Yukiko.
Hanno: So, how about some threesome...
Corpse-zuki: If we just smash them here, they will just follow us in the direction we had been going
Yukiko: NEVER! Don't touch me!
Hanno: Okay.
Hanno: Hey Kaori, what do you think about...
Hanno leans over and whispers.
Corpse-zuki: So what about the hair we were promised?
Kaori: Oh yeah!
Kazuhiko: Don't worry. Corpse-zuki, can you run these over to the river and toss them in?
Hanno looks art Corpse-zuki.
Corpse-zuki: sure
Kazuhiko: They'll chase them in that direction instead
Hanno: Right, thanks for everything. Sorry about the headless girl.
Kuutai: attach them to a twig, so they float and keep going, rather than sink
Hanno clips off a handful of hair and hands it to Kuutai.
Corpse-zuki grabs the earing, sticks them into a wooden stick and tosses the stick into the river to float downstream
Kazuhiko: Ah, a good idea, Kuutai
Hanno: No, if you will excuse us, I have an itch that Kaori is going to scratch.
Masakari (Kuutai): Why thank you!
Kuutai: Thanks for the hair!
Hanno takes Kaori's hand and they run off behind the bushes.
Kaori: Woohoo!
Kuutai: Now....Lets try and patch Ikuko up......
Kuutai: Spellcasting [1d6 = 11]
Kuutai: Im saving you!
Kuutai casts a spell on Ikuko.
Her head "reforms" and settles on top of her body.
Then Kuutai discovers a slight issue...it seems that he has control of her body, but she has control of her head.
Yukiko: Okay, I have to admit, that is mildly fascinating.
Ikuko: You blithering idiot
Yukiko: Also, he put her head on backwards.
Ikuko: Daichi, cut my head off at once and put in on the right way round!
Yukiko: Umm....
Daichi: Uh, are you, uh, sure my lady?
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): That is not an issue, that is a bonus
Kuutai instructs the Ikuko body to the YMCA Dance.
Kuutai laughs incessantly
Kazuhiko: Kuutai
Kazuhiko: You and I should be friends
Ikuko's Body does the YMCA dance.
[TOWER] Ikuko -> Intimidation {+5 Dealthy Pallor, -2 Blind} [1d6+3 = 8]
Kazuhiko: Wait, does she use Kuutai's combat skills like this?
Ikuko: Stop this at once!
Kuutai: Well, we are good enough to GTFO for now....We'll work on a more permanent solution later.
Kuutai: Spirit [1d6 = 3]
Kuutai: Spirit [1d6 = 5]
Ikuko's salvo of black leering skulls flies at Kuutai, but he shrugs them off.
Kuutai: Wha.a..as.a IKUKO??!?! Why?
Ikuko: You give me back my body!
Kuutai: Im helping you! Be grateful that you can at least insut and command again......
Ikuko: I would have been fine on my own, thank you
Kazuhiko: I don't know if you would have
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): is her hair back?
Ikuko's Body begins punching her face.
Ikuko: Daichi, cut my head off NOW!
Kuutai: Daichi, don't you have the Ikuko you know and love back? Why would you do that?
Daichi is conflicted, but obey's Ikuko's command.
Kuutai: Persuasion [1d4 = 7]
Ikuko: Persuasion {+4 Very Attractive, -5 Deathly Pallor, +2 Most High, +2 Fine Attire, -2 Blind, +2 Charismatic, +1 Cultured} [1d12+4 = 7]
Masakari (Kuutai): Dang.
Ikuko: Don't you dare listen to him, I will not tolerate this
Daichi draws his sword.
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): LOL TIED TO A d4 PERSUASION
Kazuhiko: Daichi, wait a moment
Kuutai commands Ikuko's body to strip, and seek out action behind the bushes
Kazuhiko: If she can run faster like this than you can carry her
Kazuhiko: Then we should relocate and then relocate her head
Daichi: Fighting: Katana [1d6 = 13]
Daichi: Katana damage (+1 (Fervor) +1) [2d8+3 = 12]
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): Smarts check?
Daichi surgically removes Ikuko's head from the Kuutai controlled body.
Daichi: Smarts [1d6 = 15]
Daichi picks up Ikuko's head.
Ikuko's Body tears off its clothes, and ambles off as Daichi chops off the head. Ikuko's head rolls to the ground near Daichi's feet as her body runs off behind the bushes.
Kuutai: so she can't give good head. Not the end of the world. =D
Ikuko: Kuutai, some day, you are going to die.
Kuutai yawns
Kuutai: been there, done that.
Yukiko: I feel...horribly revolted and yet...I am tempted to laugh.
Ikuko: I have all eternity to wait
Ikuko: Daichi, you shall carry me for now
Kazuhiko: Hey, no harm no foul
Ikuko's Body begins fornicating with a large stick.
Ikuko: And kill that body
Kazuhiko: It's already dead
Ikuko: Then destroy it!
Kazuhiko: and Daichi can't carry too many peices
Yukiko retches.
Ikuko: I will not have it running about!
Kazuhiko: OK, Kuutai, your sense of humor is making me worry
Kuutai tries to puppetier the body to where Kaori and company are - so lonely!
Daichi sets Ikuko down and attacks the body.
Daichi: Fighting {-2 Frenzy}: Katana (frenzy) [1] [1d10-2 = 1]
Daichi: Fighting {-2 Frenzy}: Katana (frenzy) [2] [1d6-2 = -1]
Daichi: Fighting {-2 Frenzy}: Katana (frenzy) [3] [1d10-2 = 7]
Daichi: Katana (frenzy) damage (+1 (Fervor) +1) [2d8+3 = 19]
That would be one hit on Ikuko's sex-crazed undead "tree-hugging" corpse.
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): Smarts Check #2?
Daichi: Smarts [1d6 = 9]
Ikuko's Body drops to the ground in shambles as it suffers enough damage to lose structural integrity .
Kuutai: Well, that's the end of that jig......Lets scram!
Yukiko: I concur.
Daichi: You... I... Kuutai... How could you?
Yukiko looks ill.
Daichi: You are a vile man!
Daichi picks up Ikuko's head.
Kuutai: You.....serve the queen of the damnned?
Daichi: You mind your tongue!
Daichi: She is a nice girl!
Kuutai: Um.....That was at best, lighthearted comic relief?
Kuutai: I mean, using a cursed, soul-drinking sword willingly and with glee? Sure, thats evil and vile - but a little puppet show is just showmanship!
Kazuhiko: Kuutai's humor aside, let's get moving quickly
Kuutai: futhermore - at least she can talk again. You should be enthralled.....
Ikuko: You shut your foolish mouth
TADM: I'm pretty sure the absence of a body will completely jack with a number of her skills and edges.
Masakari (Kuutai): Learn flight or telekinesis - floating head ftw
Yukiko: So we all agree we need to get moving...but where do we go?
Kuutai: Honestly, We should head to Tume's Tomb - we can get Ikuko patched up there, and theres a tear there - If we seal that tear, we get Kazuko off duty, and the rest of this caper should be more cake-walk like
Kazuhiko: We have all of the ingredients, right?
Kazuhiko: Don't we have to mix the potion first?
Kuutai: Yep.
Kuutai: Both
Ikuko: If we are going back to my husband's home, then I need another body
Ikuko: I won't get married as a disembodied head
Yukiko: We are not robbing graves or desecrating bodies for you.
Yukiko: I will not tolerate that.
Kuutai: Im sure he can fix it.....I am no expert on these matters.
Ikuko: Then I shall just have to kill Kuutai so I can have my original body back
Yukiko: I think I will tolerate that even less.
Kuutai: Just take the parts with you, whatever you do, lets scram!
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): how many parts of the body are there?
Daichi gathers up the parts of Ikuko's body and puts them into a sack.
Yukiko: So we have to go where the potion is mixed, which would be Niidoru in Tetsu Sangaku, right?
Kuutai: Yeah....but thats far.....Maybe we can teleport in a little bit here.
Yukiko: If you possess that power, that would be spectacular.
Kuutai: given a few more days, I may.
Yukiko: So we walk in the direction of Tetsu Sangaku and see if a speedier form of transport happens?
Kuutai: I agree.
Kazuhiko: Off the main roads
Kazuhiko: But other than that, yes
[TOWER] Ikuko -> Persuasion as Nagging {+4 Very Attractive, +2 Most High, -2 Blind, -5 Deathly Pallor, +2 Charismatic, +2 Fine Attire} [1d12+3 = 14]
Daichi looks surprised.
Daichi: and deeply saddened by his continuing failures
Ikuko's corpse vanishes into a puff of black smoke.
Ikuko: Daichi will have to carry me, but I am otherwise agreed with that course of action
Yukiko unrolls a map of Konoyo and marks out where the party is and where it needs to go.
Yukiko: That is a really long walk.
Yukiko heads north.
Kuutai: Yes, we may need to get a boat, etc. But the immediate danger is worth random fleeing
Kazuhiko: I don't suppose Hida could procure us another boat?
Kazuhiko: Or would Hanno be willing to do so? If he has some to spare
The group makes it back to the Yakuza docks as you head north.
Oki: Hello again, I see everyone except the creepy blind girl survived.
Ikuko: Oh, shut up you
Oki: AAAHHHHHH!!!!!!
Ikuko: I am not so easily banished
Oki: What is that?
Oki gets out his tetsubo to smash Ikuko's head.
Daichi: I wouldn't do that
Oki: It's an oni...thing...
Kuutai: No no, Its a Kabuki Puppet.
Daichi: First of all, you wouldn't accomplish anything
Kazuhiko: Smashin' her just makes her angry
Daichi: Second, I would cut you in two
Oki looks at Kuutai.
Kuutai: Seriously. See how talkented Daichi is? YOu cant even see his lips moving!
Oki: Oh, I see, a kabuki puppet. It doesn't look very lifelike.
Oki: That makes sense.
Oki: So what can I do for you?
Masakari (Kuutai): Fen-bro; this is the honestly best thing I could have done - Cure would have hurt you, I took a chance with Zombie. :shrug: I do what I can
[TOWER] Kazuhiko -> Repair {+2 Thief} [1d6+2 = 7]
Feneril (Ikuko): Well, I will recover, but I would have recovered faster if you had done nothing
Feneril (Ikuko): This isn't the first time I have had to reattach severed limbs
Kazuhiko grabs some spare bits and materials from around the area, as well as cutting bits out of a spare kimono, and begins crafting something
[TOWER] Kazuhiko -> Repair {+2 Thief} [1d6+2 = 7]
[TOWER] Kazuhiko -> Repair {+2 Thief} [1d6+2 = 7]
Kuutai: We are looking to procure a boat....to Tetsu Sangaku....Could....you ....be of assistanceto us? Hanno is very pleased with our services....
Kazuhiko finds the parts and fashions a scary looking doll body from scrap wood.
Feneril (Ikuko): Also, the stripper-public-sex-show-dance was a bridge too far
Kazuhiko: Here we go, now, Daichi, you have to pretend that you're a puppet master
Kazuhiko gives the wood body to Daichi
Oki: I could guess that from his screams of, "Oh my! Yes do that with your tongue!"
Ikuko: You are revolting
Kazuhiko: it's wearing a creepy dress as well
Oki: Sure, I think we have a boat headed to Tetsu Sangaku, let me check with the port master. I will be back in a few minutes.
Oki heads off into one of the buildings.
Kazuhiko: Fewer people will look this way if they think it's a creepy doll than if they think it's an animated head
Masakari (Kuutai): But But....I mean....Okay the situation begged for it - my intention was to give hammo the manage e trois, but i guess they got too far away....lol
Daichi reluctantly attaches the wooden body to Ikuko's head so that she looks like a horrifying ventriloquist puppet
Feneril (Daichi): Hanno isn't in to undead women
Oki comes back.
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): What about dolls?
Kazemi (Kazuhiko): We're going to slowly transition you from Undead to Construct
Oki: Great news, there is a shipment we are offloading tonight that is being sent to Tetsu Sangaku the following evening. So in twenty four hours we can send you on your way via one of our faster shipping boats.
Ikuko: This is fortuitous, I have business in Tetsu Sangaku
Oki: And you can just relax and rest in that building over there until the boat is ready.
Oki looks at Ikuko and Daichi.
Oki tosses Daichi some bu.
Kazuhiko: Thank you, Oki.
Oki: You are really good at that puppetry thing.
Ikuko: Go away
Oki: Hanno said you should stay in that building and out of sight in case an Ikusan patrol wanders by.
Daichi takes Ikuko into the building
Daichi: Thank you
Masakari (Kuutai): agrees with Oki, and obeys.
Kuutai agrees with Oki, and obeys.
Oki: Evidently between the shenanigans at the sake den and Kaori being missing, the city of Tsuyori has gone a bit berserk.
Oki gets everyone squared away in the building.
Yukiko walks over to the beach and spreads Pokuri's ashes in the ocean while offering prayers for her.
Kazuhiko also offers prayers
Daichi: Perhaps we should get some sleep
Daichi: While we wait for the boat
Yukiko: Okay.
Yukiko looks sadly at Ikuko.
Yukiko: I am sorry for what happened.
Ikuko: Well, you seem sincere
Ikuko: and I do not know many young women anymore...
Ikuko: So, if you want to attend my wedding you are welcome
Yukiko: Here.
Ikuko: Just don't try any of those sparks around my husband
Yukiko cuts her hair short and makes a wig for Ikuko.
Masakari (Kuutai): awwww....
Oki: *sniff* *sniff*
Oki leaves before he gets all misty-eyed.
Ikuko: Thank you
TADM: Bed time for the characters (and we will call it in about 15 minutes for the players)
Ikuko: Daichi, set me on the window sill before you sleep.
Ikuko: I want to look out over the water
Sensei: Night time shenanigans, ATTACK!
Daichi sets Ikuko by the window
Kuutai has a nice quiet night's sleep. Well, except that he has lots of dreams about being in a nice sunny field surrounded by happy rabbits and tall sunflowers while birds chirp happily as they lazily sail through the air.
Kuutai awakes in a cold sweat, seeking water.
Corpse-Zuki strangely behaves himself....so the rest of the night passes uneventfully.
Yukiko wakes up the next morning and her hair has fully regrown to look exactly like it did the previous morning before she made a wig for Ikuko.
Kazuhiko: Huh. That's curious
Sensei: Also, the wig on Ikuko has become permanently attached to her head, and it looks like it grew about an inch.
Kazuhiko: Were you expecting that?
Yukiko: Hmm....
Yukiko brushes her hair like nothing unusual is going on.
Kuutai: No time like the present! Ocean time!
Kazuhiko: Well, this evening at least
Ikuko: How long will it be until that ship arrives?
Yukiko gets out a book and draws pictures of the ocean and the waves rolling in.
Ikuko: I am sick of this province
Oki: Should arrive just after dusk.
Oki: It will take us an hour or two to load and then you will be on your way.
Oki responds by looking at Daichi and talking to him whenever Ikuko speaks.
Kuutai: Notice [1d10 = 19]
Kazuhiko: Notice {+2 Trapsense, +2 Alertness} [1d6+4 = 6]
Kuutai: Spellcasting [1d6 = 11]
TADM: Nice.
Masakari (Kuutai): Score!
Masakari (Kuutai): No whales. No turtles. No dolphins.....
Masakari (Kuutai): A Shark? Naw. A Squid? Naw...A SQUARK? HELL YEAH
TADM: Nah, he's graduated to giant space amoebas.
Masakari (Kuutai): that's awesome
The boat arrives, it gets loaded, everyone gets on, and the boat casts off and heads north with a fine current and a strong wind behind it.
Sensei: And this seems like a really good place to stop.
Masakari (Kuutai): aight gents. Enjoy the eve
Masakari (Kuutai): thanks for the good times
Ikuko: have a good one
Feneril (Ikuko): have a good one
