S13 - Kimi no Namae wa? Report

General Summary

In their camp north of Iwasaki, the party settles down for the night, with Akira and Sana volunteering for the first watch. The two talk about Sana's village and Akira decides that he wants to see it someday. The watch passes on uneventfully to Jugen, then to Kyo, and lastly Mizuki.

An hour into Mizuki's watch, Kyo rouses from his sleep looking disoriented. Kyo doesn't recognize Mizuki and asks where he was, and Mizuki asks him for his name. The man replies that his only memories were fighting in the capital against masked ninjas and s giant centipede monster, as well as his jaunt in Iwasaki last night with Masumi. After a while, he politely says his farewells as it was taxing for him to stay awake.

In the morning, Mizuki mentions to Kyo that he woke up last night as a completely different, albeit charming, man. Kyo is distraught about his body being taken over and asks Yamami once more for help. Unfortunately, Yamami was unable to find anything wrong with him at that moment.

The party then headed east to Saigomura and noticed that the taint had spread further out from the village. They reach its outskirts and spot a couple of Kotsujin hanging around a break in its palisade. Akira and Jiko quietly take out a few of the skeletons, while the rest of the party close in. Inside, the village is completely overrun by various Kotsujin. Murasaki bellows out a challenge to fight her, beginning the party's battle against the undead mob in earnest.

The party heard movement, further west. Not wanting to get flanked, Sana, Jiko, and Murasaki head toward the area and deal with the force there, leaving the rest of the party to deal with the Kotsujin in the village.

Other than the taint slowly corrupting a number of the party, the battle seemed to be going well, but then a Kotsusho joined the fray and started summoning more Kotsuhei. On top of this, the party also started, hallucinating that they were in Yomi. Finally, the party is brought to its knees by a massive psychic attack from an unknown source, knocking Kyo unconscious. With the situation looking dire, Yamami heals the party, including Akira, who had been staving off the Kotsujin from the party’s backline. However, healing Akira was going against the will of her ancestors, and they didn’t like this defiance.
