The form of the drowned maiden disappears in a cloud of mist.

The elder vomits forth water, and gasps for air.

(Ooc: Has the Maiden been disposed of?)

You cannot tell what happened to her

Ales begins to chant, using the disgorged water as a focus point for his spell.

In reply to Ales Konstantin (msg # 536):

There is a foe of some kind outside of the room.

Before leaving to find this foe, Ales checks on the elder.

Then, he goes out and hunts for this enemy.

In reply to Ales Konstantin (msg # 538):

"Go, Ales-san. I will be safe. Go and attend to these yokai!"

Ales goes in the direction that his spell pointed, keeping a sharp eye out for an attack.

You spot damp footprints, and foes in more than one direction.

Who else is outside?

OOC:Chou and Miko, are the ones outside, I believe. Unless Tanaka is outside, as well. Chye and Iskander are with the shaman, and the summoned spirit of the woodcarver,turned adventurer, turned human torch, turned ghost.

Chou-Zhen and Miko are still in the privy, waiting on Ales to return with the necessary containers and materials to imprison the filth eater.  Chou-Zhen, having handled the creature while Miko tied it, tries to avoid touching anything unnecessarily, knowing many things will need to be purified.

Ales is following the damp footprints in order to deal with the Drowned Maiden once and for all.

"What should we do now, Shaman-sama?"

In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 543):

Miko headed to the bath house to wash her hands in salted water, and passed a lone woman outside.
Ales espies her also as he tries to watch the footprints, heading toward the shaman's hut.
Within the hut, a damp spot forms on the paper wall.

Ales torn between the curiosity of the strange lone woman and the potential threat to the shaman, Ales reluctantly chooses to head to the hut. After looking around, he notices the spot going up the paper walls.

"Show yourself, Drowned Maiden. If you wish to  reunite with your lover, I wish you no harm. If you wish to hurt these villager's, I will be merciless in my defense of them."

Ales looks around for a sign that the Yorei had heard him.

16:50, Today: Ales Konstantin rolled 11 using 3d6.  Perception check vs 13.

In reply to Ales Konstantin (msg # 547):

Once again, the shade of the yurei's fiance bursts into flame, as she materializes over some damp footprints in the Shaman's hut.

"Kodokuna Otome-san, behold your old flame."
Chye familiar with her manifestations, gestures to the suitor.
"Hear his truth, and be set free from your despair."

"Flama vella, de fet..."
Iskander quipped in his native tongue.

In reply to Iskander (msg # 550):

The drowned spirit shrieks, and charges at her former lover. There is a tremendous hissing sound, and the room is consumed in an explosion of steam!




Meanwhile, the filth eater lies secure and motionless.

In reply to Yurei (msg # 551):

Miko returns, bearing a pair of large pots, one aparently full.

Seeing the Yorei charge at her lover, Ales realized the potential water and fire combo would be dangerous. With everyone in the room, including the shaman and his apprentice, Ales begins chanting and making a cupping motion.

He directs the steamy air back with a wall of air, hoping for the steam to dissapate and give the shaman and apprentice to leave the room. Once everyone is safe, Ales will return to his attempt to gift wrap the filth eater.

Chye will usher those within, to safety.

Iskander tries to keep track of where there spirits went, and what's happening with them.

"Ah, Miko.  You are a welcome sight.  I have heard shouts as of a fight elsewhere and hoped you had not been caught up in it.

"So, we need to put this creature into one pot, then put that one into the other, correct?  I believe I can use magic to do this without either of us further soiling ourselves.

"Place the pots on the floor and I will begin."

With a word and a gesture, Chou-Zhen casts, and the filth eater rises into the air.  Without moving, Chou-Zhen maneuvers the half-material creature into the empty pot.

[Private to GM: 18:40, Today: Chou-Zhen Mou rolled 13 using 3d6.  Levitation, roll to cast (15).
What does the filth eater weigh?  1 FP per 80 pounds.  Also, what's the weight of the empty pot (for Apportation fatigue calculation)?]

In reply to Chou-Zhen Mou (msg # 556):

The creature weighs about 90 lbs, the pot about 15.
