Ales sees the woman transform and is unfazed.  Just like the dishonorable Akira to associate willingly with demons....

(20:40, Today: Ales Konstantin rolled 6 using 3d6.  Fright Check (13).  Roll Passed.)

He starts to cast his own fireball in retaliation.

(20:45, Today: Ales Konstantin rolled 12 using 3d6.  Cast Fireball (14).  Roll Passes.)

"Demoness, why do you consort with those who have no honor?  Surely, you must atone for your crimes, but giving into the behaviors of the wicked is no way to solve your problems."

In reply to Ales Konstantin (msg # 533):

As the woman is on the far side of the table, on the other side from tne three women, two of you flail your weapons about, Ales raises a fireball,
And Chou quashes her fireball.

11:41, Today: Chye Isuel rolled 7 using 3d6 ((1,1,5)). acrobatics - 14
Instead of taking several seconds to go around the table, Chye bounds over the table, with a handspring and lands within pole arm range. "Waaachaaaaaaa!"

In reply to Iskander (msg # 536):

The woman with the bird eyes claws at Iskander as he arrives!
[Private to Iskander: dodge or take 2pts cutting and 1pt fatigue]

17:21, Today: Iskander rolled 14 using 3d6 ((6,3,5)). (acrobatics - 15)
Iskander landed in a crouch, and had time to tumble out of the way of the attack, just in time!

Chou-Zhen, who'd been examining the wheeled box, rounds the near end of the table.  He closes within his lightning whip's two yard reach of the todomeki, and lashes at the demon.

[Private to GM: Still need to know my FP cost for the Counterspell -- half that of the spell countered.
18:49, Today: Chou-Zhen Mou rolled 11 using 3d6.  Lightning Whip, roll to hit.
18:50, Today: Chou-Zhen Mou rolled 1 using 1d6.  Lightning Whip, damage.]

Ales, seeing that other team members are in the way of his shot, elects to add energy to his fireball and bides his time.

21:10, Today: Chye Isuel rolled 7 using 1d6+4.  thrust damage from Lóng zhuǎ x3 vitals.
21:07, Today: Chye Isuel rolled 12 using 3d6.  hit location maneuver (thrust) - 15.
As those in the group converged on the she-demon, Chye gripped Lóng zhuǎ, and thrust hard, intending to run her through! "Osssssu!"

OOC:Ales, nobody is in your way, each of us engaging her is two yards away. we have long weapons, a naginata, and whip, respectively. You should be able to throw your fireball, as long as it's not explosive.

Airis moves though the shadows to try to get behind the demon woman.

ooc: I was thinking of Iskander's leap to attack the demon woman when I mentioned that.  But, even if anyone in his way, Ales wanted a clean, clear shot.

In reply to Ales Konstantin (msg # 544):

Ales has a clear shot, but Iskander is providing partial cover against the whip.

Aris will be able to act in another sevcond.

The chained women (all modestly dressed) are starting to panic.

[Private to Chou-Zen Mou: -2 to hit the bird woman, and it cost you 1 fp to stop her fireball.]

Chye is focused on dealing a mortal blow.

23:00, Today: Iskander rolled 8 using 3d6 ((2,1,5)). (acrobatics - 15)
Iskander leapt and rolled out of the melee, intending to circle on a flank.

Seeing the coast clear, Ales launches his fireball at the demon woman.

(OOC: 13:50, Today: Ales Konstantin rolled 8 using 2d6.  Damage .
13:50, Today: Ales Konstantin rolled 14 using 3d6.  To hit (14). Roll passes.)

Seeing Iskander and Ales dealing with the Hundred Eyes Demon, Chou-Zhen moves to look at the the other women.  Do they appear fully human, or is their modest dress likely to hide features of oni?

OOC: if she was their mistress, she probably made them wear modest clothing, so none of the other ladies could feel prettier than her, in her mind. xD I imagine she is quite jealous, catty, cruel,and vain in addition to the greed.

Airis moves closer silently with her sword ready.

In reply to Airis Moonshadow (msg # 551):

The women seem ordainary, from what you can see of their arms they are not the same as their overseer, nor do they have other demonic features.


Anyone have demon lore?

(OOC: Would Occultism or Thaumatology do?)

(OOC2: Did my fireball hit her and/or did she take damage?)

In reply to Ales Konstantin (msg # 553):

The bird woman's silk robes catch fire and she shrieks, even as she reaches out and grasps the incoming blade of Chye's weapon between open palms. Her birdlike hands look to be made of sturdy stuff.

Needs to be demonology.

OOC: may i try to make a roll for demonology from research, at -2? reflecting the smatterings i take notes on, etc on various literature. 3e allowed a -2 default, if so i could have a decent shot rolling a 12 or less..

In reply to Iskander (msg # 555):

That would be a -4 default, this would have to have been something from the Omo's library...

(OOC: makes perfect sense, that.)
22:36, Today: Iskander rolled 5 using 3d6-4 ((3,4,2)). research - 14 [-4]
BAM!!
