Session 29: Susanoo-no-mikoto-no-katsuko

by Gek Ferox

Katusko Estate 29/7/1436

Kayumi- Left arm broken, super injured, wrapped her sword to her hand so she can even hold it, kneeling headless Oni, large red Oni- resembles Kayumis old master

Far wall- sword rack, sword on the ground, familiar guard, huge Nodachi that Kayumi seemed to be in the process of putting the guard on

Ghost looks at Arthur, looks at the sword on the floor, draws his own smokey sword

Gek nearly turns Niamh to stone but she saves herself, Gek gets paralysed for a second, the effect of the spell has stopped

There's a room behind the waterfall, gap cant get to
Kayumi's sword activates and the sword takes damage that Arthur should have taken so he doesn't die and Kayumi falls tot he floor, aksyumi tries to sheath the massive sword and the spirit gets pulled into the blade,

Niamh fails another con save the dumbass, memory land, room behind the waterfall, red Oni kneeling, Akimbimi arms bound in shackels at entrace of cave, seems to be unconscious, trails of smoke billowing from skin, Kayumi is standing in front of her with a sword, her father is standing behind her with some more oni which seem to be leaving out a passage, only three left, close to present day Kayumi, father barking orders at Kayumi, Kayumi hesitates with her sword towards Akibimi, she tries to swing at her father but he just catches it, father kneels with a tear in his eye, he bows is head and embraces her, he takes the sword and turns Kayumi away, Kayumi says something to him, e is completely shocked and he says "Kayumi no", she pulls out another blade, points it at him and then walks out of the room, the memory becomes much more muddled and vanish, father sheaths his blade and falls to his knees with his hands over is eyes and shouts something, Niamh follows Kayumi, the other Oni seem puzzled and confused then they acknowledge the situation, seems like Kayumi challenged her father+master (same person in this case) to save Akibimi?, faint trail of smoke pours from her mouth, Niamh wakes up

The room has the sehackels that Akibimi was tied to but they are crushed and dented, go down the corridor were Kayumi went in the dream to a different room, the entire room is covered in blood and stinks, old blood not years old- more recent than that, we find Arthur and Kayumi

Back in Blackpearl keep, gave a message to Gojou Atsukane Asari (head of Asasari) about giving us help with the hobgoblins saying the traderoots would be destroyed if he didn't help

"You owe me nothing for this, consider it a gift between soon to be friends, I look forward to our blossoming partnership" from the 6 eyed raven from Swain

Gojou Atsukane Asari read it out to an Izzet League ambassador which forces him to help us (woop woop), but he wants to discuss details, also told us there's records of mines in our area and he suggests that we make use of it

Kayumi somewhat recovers and struggles to explain herself to Arthur, he sees her unsheath the Kusabimaru sword, the blade swoly coats itself in black and pulls itself away to form the figure of the spirit, the smoke billows off and a solid dull coloured form appears, it takes off a mask, it's Kayumi, it's the same as they fought, the figure floats to the ground and matches Kayumi, they point their swords at each others chest slowly, they both slowly stab each other and real Kayumi grabs the ghost sword and pushes it fully into herself, the spirit and its sword fully disappear, she falls to the ground, Arthur goes over, there's no injury but her clothes are ripped, he seaths the sword and brings her to bed

Gost- suzannoo of the Katsuko clan, living curse that effects the Katsuko family, the susanoo curse itself appears as a version of oneselt, Kayumi has a separate problem too, Kayumi has dissociative identity disorder
