Rynjin: Shoukichi attempts to get the monk off of him by forcefully taking off the monk's hands.
Rynjin: Wracked with pain all over his body, Shoukichi tenses up and grits his teeth, trying to keep as much pain inside him as possible.
When he looks up to the red head priest, he notices some strange occurrences happening to his skin, similar to that of frying eggs. "I'M NOT DOING ANYTHING."
For Rynjin's Eyes Only: Shoukichi attempts to get up out of the coffin while holding onto the coffin for support.
Rynjin Only: Shoukichi bolts up from his coffin in surprise from hearing an unfamiliar voice. Without any hesitation, he checks to make sure he is still disguised as a human rather than his natural Kitsune form.
"Huh? Where am I? And I was... dead? The last things I remembered was feeling pretty weak and then collapsing after some chills crept up my spine. Where exactly am I though? And where are my friends?"
Shoukichi looks over to the shattered corpse of their former elven ally. "You know, he wasn't that bad of a guy after all. Still can't respect him for eating foxes, but that's how cultures work right? I say we bring him back to Ravengo. We can't deny a friend of a proper burial, after all, it's the least we could do." Suddenly, a cold chill in the air weakens Shoukichi.
"Eh guys? I'm not feeling so well again. Just let me catch my breath."
"Wait, the Splatter Man? Does that mean that the other prisoners are still roaming these halls as well? Actually, if you don't mind, who exactly are you?"
Shoukichi goes in with his Rapier to stab.
And stabs the air surrounding the jacket.
"Now, I'll go back to my researches for the betterment of this town, a worthy cause that I'm sure you'll never come close to besting." Shoukichi tries to open up his books again to research, but takes extra care to feign his "handicaps" from earlier.
"That was a few days ago! I've been hauling myself over to dangers in Harrowstone. Why do you think I'm here to look up on hauntings? You want to go in and see for yourself how dangerous the place is?"
"Just because I was permanently injured in my hands doesn't mean you should be laughing at me. Show some respect for the handicapped."
At least I didn't get a paper cut.
"Well, we know that the prisoners are Father Charlatan, the Lopper, the Mosswater Marauder, the Piper of Illlmarsh, and the Splatter Man. The body was of a priest, so Father Charlatan is the only lead we've got. I say we go research him first." Shoukichi grabs all the books about Harrowstone and systematically looks through each one to find as much information as possible about Father Charlatan.
guys report azrin, he's botting. we need to get him banned for life admin he's botting with hacks
I'll be gone next week starting from Wednesday and ending on Friday. I'll be pre-occupied for pretty much the whole daytime, but I might get some late night posts if I'm lucky.
"Just let me talk to the receptionist." Shoukichi turns to the receptionist at the Temple and waves over to him. "Hello again! Just bringing some friends over to do some research."
"Those damn spiders got me though. Not sure what they really did, but they bit me and now I'm pretty tired. Can we set up camp and rest a bit?"
"Spiders are a real pain aren't they? Well, the thing bit me and I'm not feeling all that great. Feel kinda tired."
While maintaining a steady flow of insults towards the spiders in the form of an essay, Shoukichi takes another step back and casts Flare in an attempt to disorganize one of the spiders.
Instinctively, Shoukichi jumps back after being bitten by the spiders and promptly gives off a fit, followed by an Inspiring essay on why spiders should go die in a hole.
Shoukichi takes a step back and casts Detect Magic to see if he can locate the source of these shenanigans.
Shoukichi follows with his bow ready to fire.
"What's that about a bow you say? A bow is a martial item first utilized by the highest, most experienced royalty. It takes immense strength alone to draw the bow, and thousand times more intellect and delicacy to shoot it properly. While you go romping around with a crude club, Steef is practicing an art that has been perfected with skill.
"I don't know. How can we be sure that he is really dead?"
Shoukichi walks over to the journal and takes a look at the cover and back before flipping through the pages.
Shoukichi lets out an Inspiring speech to commemorate the death of their friend and the new beginnings of another.
"You know, I'd be all for dungeoneering if we actually had some power. I'm not willing to fight an even fight again." Shoukichi casts Detect Magic and also looks for anything flammable.
[ooc]Don't quite know if I'll need a Perception check for this. I assume I will need to for Fine sized objects and such.[/dice]
"Has his body walked out of his coffin yet?"
"Have you seen any strange occurrences recently? The talk of the town seems to be about the statue."
"We're not anywhere near good enough shape to go even close to that place. Plus, first things first, we need to care for our new friend over here. Kendra, do you have any food we can spare for the little guy?"
"What did you do? These are some pretty deep cuts. I don't think I can heal all this." Shoukichi walks over to Ezekiel and places his hand right on his wounds to cast Cure Light Wounds.
"Hmm... You still look pretty injured. Just try to stay out of action for now."
"Just give me a moment." Without another thought, Shoukichi casts Cure Light Wounds on the injured puppy.
"Looks fine to me now. Might want to give it some food though."
Shoukichi rolls out of bed and crawls downstairs. Sleepily, he moans, "What's this about a healing kit? If someone's injured I can heal 'em."
Shoukichi rolls around lazily, still bothered by both his dream and his experience at Harrowstone. "I think I'll go sleep at home." He then gets up and returns home to grumble and moan in bed. On his way, he keeps an ear out for any stray rumors flying about.
Shoukichi takes a few steps back and gives an Inspiring speech to his allies about the beginnings of their quest for the Professor.
Shoukichi moves forwards, checking the first three cells to see if they were to ones he saw in his dream.
Shoukichi follows Ezekiel and readies his bow to shoot.
"Well, uhh. I was meaning to tell you guys about something that happened last night. I had a dream about Harrowstone. I was trapped somewhere in this place. Don't know where, but it was somewhere in the place." Shoukichi fidgets around a bit and scratches his ear before continuing. "I was looking out onto Ravengo from Harrowstone in what appeared to be a cell. The thing that I need to tell you all is that in my dream, some blood appeared on the walls of the cell somewhere around the end. The blood formed into letters and, well, spelled my name out pretty much. Just didn't finish the 'i' at the end. But when I woke up, the blood was there on the wall of my room." He then looks around with shifty eyes, trying to avoid the gaze of everyone while they listened to him. Looking down towards the ground, Shoukichi holds his arm in his hand. "You believe me right? Ezek was there. You saw it too right?"
"Ah... Well, you could say that. Yes. I'm being serious."
"No no. That won't be necessary. I'll just open the door." Shoukichi then unlocks the door with his key and allows Ezekiel in. He then points up to the bloody wall. "I don't know if you can still read that, but that spelled out my name before. It's a long story. I'll tell you when we gather up."
Shoukichi wakes up breathing heavily. Though it all happened to be a dream, his name, spelled in blood, stayed up on the wall, slowly dripping down onto his bed. Slowly, Shoukichi crawled out his bed, trying to avoid the blood as much as possible, until he got rudely interrupted by someone knocking on the door and calling him down for breakfast. "I'm uh... not all that hungry. But not to interrupt you guys from eating, I have something eh... important to show you all."
