Kisaiya heals herself as she enters her battle stance and climbs into the air. ”I’m already this much stronger.” She slashes the enlarged Suishen over her head at the horrible yrthak.
20% Miss Chance (high is always good for me):1d100 ⇒ 58 Attack with Suishen (bless, haste):1d20 + 15 + 1 + 1 ⇒ (13) + 15 + 1 + 1 = 30 Damage (enlarge, challenge):2d6 + 8 + 1 + 1d6 ⇒ (3, 4) + 8 + 1 + (4) = 20 The extra d6 is fire damage

@Euan Kisaiya has the fatigued mercy so she would just use a lay on hands to remove that if possible
Surprise Round
Kisaiya freezes as she sees the flying beast. ”That’s it. That’s the one. It really is here.” She immediately pulls a scroll out of her handy haversack and prepares to cast it, pointing at her armor. There’s no way she would ever face this beast unprepared again. ”Suishen-sama, that is the beast that took my eye and fingers and killed the rest of my caravan. Please, honor me with the ability to rise to fight it.”
Move to draw scroll
Round 1
She casts the spell from the scroll, Serren’s Swift Girding, and she is instantly in her full armor, as though she had taken all the time to put it on herself.
She then moves to the edge of the trees, shouting back to the others. ”SPREAD OUT.” She shouts again, this time at the Yrthak. ”I AM KISAIYA SHIRAISHI, AND I AM HERE FOR EVERYONE YOU KILLED.”

”I have materials for some crafting as well. Just a headband and an improvement to my cloak. Nothing high priority, so I’m fine waiting.”
+2 wis headband and getting cloak of resistance to +2 from +1
Kisaiya is not afraid of being hunkered down for 10 days, but she does worry how it will affect Ameiko, as she’s never been one to enjoy being tied down without being free to move for too long. She waits until she can privately speak with her. ”Are you going to be okay hunkering down for that long? Is there anything I can do for you to help make it easier?”
Kisaiya is fine with the plans for the caravan upgrades and staffing updates. She stocks up on a variety of materials for items she will get crafted after a bit of research and some embarrassingly basic questions about how the whole process works. She helps with the trading of goods as well, knowing clearing out space for travel is always smart.
During the down time, she makes a big batch of those spiced cookies that Ameiko likes so they have something homey to snack on.
Kisaiya bows her head and smiles sadly at Spivey. She knows creatures of her nature are not likely to stay in any one place or with any one group for long, and thus this is not unexpected, but she has never been fond of farewells, even ones she is prepared for. ”Thank you for joining us for a while, Spivey. I know that Desna’s whims will guide you well, wherever they may take you.”
Are there are local cooks Kisaiya might have been able to scout while she was helping with the celebration? Figure if we need more, she will pick someone she’s worked with
Kisaiya offers to help cook food for the celebration. As much as a rest sounds nice, she’ll be able to rest plenty on the road in the wagons. This is an opportunity to share cooking knowledge, and she is happy to take the opportunity.
Kisaiya nods gravely. ”I can attest that the Empress of Heaven let me call upon Her powers to fight against them, and She would not do so if they had not been deeply corrupted by evil.”
Kisaiya moves closer and tries quickly take out the two spirits if possible to reduce the number of foes on the field. She would start on the most wounded spirit before moving to the other
Kisaiya uses the wand of bless weapon she got to bless Suishen.
Round 2
She stows the wand and moves to spread out more.
Round 3
”If I had to guess, it’s planning to breathe on us again. Probably needs to suck up more cold air to spew on us, I suppose.”
She takes a deep breath and steadies her stance in the air, readying to slash out should the dragon fly within reach. Reminder she’s large and takes up a ten foot square and has ten foot reach
Kisaiya spits out blood as she begins to heal up from the channel and her own healing. ”You won’t take me down, dragon. This is too important. You are better off running if you want to live.”
Kisaiya has been wary of the skies for a while, having a particular creature she is keep her eye out for, and she quickly leaps out of the way of center of the blast.
She calls upon the power of the Empress of Heaven to guide her blows and protect her. Smite evil on the dragon”Suishen-sama, if you would be so kinda as to grant me the small boon of walking on the air.” Should Suishen agree, she will then air walk up towards the dragon and take her first swing.
Attack with Suishen (smite evil):1d20 + 14 + 4 ⇒ (8) + 14 + 4 = 26 Damage (smite evil):1d8 + 7 + 6 + 1d6 ⇒ (6) + 7 + 6 + (2) = 21 Double the smite evil bonus damage to +12 if this is in fact an evil dragon, as it appears to be

Kisaiya gently pats the legendary sword at her side. ”We are adventurers of great strength and skill, ones who could certainly fight any such dangers to you—such as a dragon—on your behalf, should you be so kind as to let us.”
Kisaiya feels that prick of excitement at the word “dragon.” There’s a certain prestige and romance to the creatures in her mind, and she can think of few foes more worthy to spar with, either via word or blade. ”I am certainly in favor of dealing with a dragon, if that is how we must needs proceed.” She wonders briefly what a dragon might taste like before reminding herself they are sapient, and thus not appropriate choices for such things. Alas.
Kisaiya adjusts her eyepatch. ”Ask if it is related the Minkaian forces looking to eliminate Ameiko. And if it will cause continuing problems for us if we leave it. And…um, do we currently possess a method of destroying it? Or purifying it? Is that six questions? Oh, I guess that’s seven, isn’t it? Shit, eight now.”
Kisaiya is once again fully protected from the cold blast by her reflexes and Mukluk’s spell.
She focuses all of her strikes on the undead flanking her before stepping back to close ranks with her allies. Full attacking purple before stepping away
After pausing to accept the bolstering magics of her comrades, Kisaiya strides forward to take up position at the front, readying to accept the attacks of the undead.

Kisaiya bows her head at Mukluk’s compliment. ”It is not my power. It is Suishen-sama’s. I take no credit for it and only honor the charity in providing me with such a boon.” She sheathes the blade and goes to assist with the recovery and repair.
Kisaiya heals herself once more before stepping forward in the air to slash twice more at the chimera. Can’t ascend to give flank and five foot step, and getting the second attack with smite feels more important
Kisaiya moves to the fore to ready herself versus the monster. She calls upon the Empress of Heaven’s power to protect her and guide her sword. Double move and smite evil

Kisaiya finishes the witch off with her second blow. ”Well I think we found the culprits behind the murders in the town.” She considers Snowball’s suggestion, frowning as she realizes none of the options feels good. Kill them, leave them to die, or imprison and question them before doing either of the aforementioned. ”What would they have to tell us even? I doubt they have anything to do with our enemies from Minkai. I just wanted the ghosts of this town to be able to rest, and for those who travel after us to not face the same fate, and now we have done so.”
Kisaiya considers calling upon the power of the Empress of Heaven to grant her blows more power, but it feels excessive. Such gifts should not be called upon callously and speak to a deficiency of character, at least as far she is concerned. Likewise, as in cooking, you always use precisely as much salt as you should because too much ruins the dish. And as you do one thing, so do you do all things.
Musing upon such topics, she tries to bring this battle to a close.

”I’ll take one of those Air Walking spells, Suishen-sama.” Should the blade accede, she will take to air over the water and move in to box in the spellcaster. If the blade does not agree, she will do the same thing, but with wetter feet.

Kisaiya looks to the others for their opinions. ”Losing a day would affect our provisions, but I am feeling uneasy about leaving whatever creature or creatures are responsible for this to kill again. I especially don’t like the idea of being followed by then.” She knows they have a mission and that they can’t possibly let themselves get distracted by every challenge along the road…but anything dangerous enough to kill this many is not just any challenge. And she chose these oaths because she values them, not because she thought they would her to success and riches.
”This could be unrelated to us. But it could also be more oni looking for Ameiko. Let us be careful as we continue.” She looks to drag-marks pointed out by her comrades. ”Ah. Perhaps this was done by something closer to home.” She nods towards the icy water, hand on Suishen. ”Whatever did this is probably still there. I doubt there are any survivors, so if we were to go in after, it would be to slay whatever evil did this. Depending on what it is, I may be obligated to deal with it. What do the rest of you think?”
