Path of Enlightenment: Chapter 2

[Voda Vosa]

Shen places a friendly hand on Kaoru's shoulder. "There is nothing to be ashamed off, one can only hope to do the best, destiny has the last word. I was honoured to fight alongside ones such as you my brother, all of you." the spear wielding warrior says looking at each of the others in the eyes, with a confident smile on his face.
"Indeed it does not look like a spider demon." he adds.
Koryo crouches near the corpse, or what is left of it, and gently touches the blue skin. It banishes, as if made of dust. The monk springs away. "Certainly, although it was an evil oni, we have done a good deed slaining it." He looks forward and states "I think our path is clear."

 

[Durlak]

"Don't worry brother, you did the best you could against this beast" says Leng to Kaoru "If we weren't fighting together as we did we would have been slain as we have slain it. Now let's look if he has anything we could use"
Leng searches the corpse of the oni for anything of value."

OCC: Leng takes 20.

 

[Helfdan]

Wang Chi

The young soldier cleans and sheathes his sword, them retrieves his spear. He sees the others are doing a good job in cheering Kaoru up, so he keeps watch as the others examine the Oni's corpse.

 

[Scotley]

Ban Lu

Having no desire to touch the Oni's corpse, Ban Lu joins Wang Chi in watching.

 

[Voda Vosa]

Leng fins the fullblade used by the oni, what remains of the creature is only dust; his body consumed by the unholy energies that it manipulated.

The valerous heroes continue their march to the mountains. The path through forest is uneventful, it seems to have regained its peace. The warriors keep walking until the trees become less crowded, and the forest gives away to the rocky steeps of the mountains. Just then, something strange disturbed the energy. Ban Lu and Kaoru felt it instantly, and the others became aware of a presence later. The leaves rustled and the wind lifted the dust in small dancing whirlwinds.
The priest and the apprentice detected the presence behind them, still in the woods.
As they turned to see, they noticed a female figure, standing gracefully among some brushes. The shadows that cast the trees make it impossible to make out her features.

 

[Scotley]

Speaking softly, "Do not assume that this female is any less dangerous than the Oni we faced." Then he raises his voice so that it will carry to the newcomer. "Come spirit of the forest and show yourself." He adopts a causal air leaning on his Gun, but he is ready for trouble.

 

[Legildur]

Kaoru acknowledges the warning with a slight nod of his head as he begins to mentally stocktake his options.

[Helfdan]

Wang Chi

The soldier bows formally, yet his eyes do not leave the new-comer. "Good day, lady."

 

[Durlak]

Leng stays quiet waiting the lady to anwser and casualy letting his hand on the hilt of his sword.
