(sorry for the delay in posting.. been working 3rd shifts at work and my brain has been fried all weekend)

22:
The pain of the first attack by Infaeri is debilitating. It drops you to your knees. Fal hangs precariously on your shoulder as the pseudo-flames burn your very essence away. You can feel yourself becoming weaker. (the fire does not bounce off as it is not targeting your body, but your soul, all it has to do it hit. This is a dodge or be damaged ability)

(Looked it up, RUE p. 328. The way it's phrased it seems as though thrown weapons get the PP bonus regardless and they just decided to explain that under WP targeting. GM call needed. No argument that there's no PS bonus for damage, that is clear and you're right. If 22 was dropped by Inferi's attack though I think Kira would have gotten a melee strike either way. Does he take damage from the spikes?)

==Kira==

Kira wrenches the blade free and places himself between 22 and the exit while the creature is on its knees. "ENOUGH!" He thunders above the combatants but motions for Asv. to keep his hold. "I had hoped to take you in a quieter way, but it seems you are more resilient than I first though. Explain yourself! What made you think you could insult me and get away with it?I told both of you when and where we would meet to discuss our mission and next steps, I even gave you the un-necessary courtesy of a reminder which went un-headed and un-responded to. Your actions tell me that you are not, or do not wish to be, part of this team. If you are not part of this team then you are a liability and will be dealt with, now, EXPLAIN YOURSELF!"

22 gave him a confused look and a tilt of the head as he shook slightly from the pain. "Fal....ordered me to...ah....bring him out. I did not... insult you...sir....didn't know.....about a meeting...nnnnnn" As he explained, He slowly shouldered Fal once more and tried to struggle to his feet again, Using his wings to support himself if necessary.

(Once again, the minion mind set kicked in and when you told us at the airport, he didn't think you were talking to him, just Fal. And then your call would have been answered by Fal, who once again neglectd to tell 22. That may not be how you see it, just saying why I role played it that way. ok? Also, technically haven't told me to stop. >:)

So Lunar does that mean I only took one fireball and was dibilitated by the first one? )

Keicho:
There are several very powerful souls in the area, and one of them is being diminished as you sense him. It is as though his very essence was being burned away. It is from inside the building, and slightly down.

Interest piqued, Keicho begins to move into the shattered building, his mind automatically honing itself for combat, letting awarenesses open to potential threats, body to shed the weight of hesitation and doubt, and soul shifting to radiate the familiar hostility of darkness.

==Kira==

"So..." Kira muses, "your shortcomings, your mistakes, every nuisance and foul up so far were really his fault?" Kira motions to the unconscious sack of meat that goes by the name 'Fal'. "Are you saying that he neglected to inform you of my expectations, and that was his responsibility? Should he bear the punishments for both of your mistakes?"

"Mistake...s? Expectations? Did you.....run an experiment? I do not know.....what you mean?" 22 made a solid step forward, but swayed and leaned against the wall to get balance.

==Kira==

Kira sighs, this creature really is simple, but so... strong. Perhaps I might yet make use of it. It could be more of an asset under my direct supervision...

A test, yes, that's what it needs.


Kira's features appear to soften, but he is ever ready for a fight. "You poor confused fool. Maybe the mistakes do not lie with you. Maybe the mistakes lie with the thing you are carrying on your shoulder. Perhaps he has been steering you wrong all along. If so, then that certainly can't be your fault, can it? Maybe you could atone for the errors that have been made in some way?" Kira pauses to allow the dim witted creature to think through what he is saying.

"Would you like a second chance?" Kira's voice is sickeningly sweet, dripping with false compassion.

The pain in his back tweeked slightly, and 22 fell to a knee again to catch his breath. The pieces of shrapenel in his chest were being particularily painful on their slow expulsion from his body.

22 hissed slighty, as he pulled a relatively large chunk of door free. Looking up, 22 nodded quickly. "Yes, I will atone. I would like a second chance." He rose to his feet once again, leaning on the wall so that he could move forward. "But I still have orders. I will return in a moment to atone."

==Kira==

"Your leaving will be impossible until you have proven yourself," Kira sneers. "Unless you prove yourself, both you and that thing you are holding on to will die here and now. Prove your use and cleanse your transgressions through bloodshed. It is the only way we will know your allegiance." Kira takes a breath and looks the creature in the eyes.

He points directly at Fal. "Kill him and you will have proven yourself. Remember, I have been named his master, and if he is your master then you must obey my orders above his. For that matter, I was placed in charge of you as well. Obey the chain of command. Refuse and I will know you are disloyal, and you shall both die here... Is it not better that one of you should live? Now no more talking, rend him and prove your loyalty or be obliterated with him."

Kira motions to Inferi to be prepared to strike again if need be.

Infaeri leans casually against the wall waiting for Kira to finish speaking with 22. She had begun the attack, but now he wanted to talk. Talk was growing old...quickly.

She sees Kira indicate for her to be ready should 22 refuse to do as he bid, but she had her own thought. Raising her arm she let loose another Ball of Death at 22.

Strike: 1d20+3=19
Damage: 3d4=8
(Save vs. Soulburn: 12, -1 to PE)

22 waited for Kira to finish. Then he mulled it over for a moment. After that I can take him outs-! His thoughts were interupted by another fireball in the back. He roared in pain, as he toppled forward, spilling Fal onto the floor in front of him.

Save vs Soulburn (1d20=7)(With PE bonuses that's 15, but somehow I don't think those apply anymore)

22 enxtended an arm towards Fal, but recoiled as the pain shot through him from the twin burn marks. "Just a.... moment sir. I seem to be....ah....incapable of moving." He answered in an almost comically anylitical voice, considering.

Kira watches a the ball of black energy strikes the alien beast, sending him toppling again. "You shouldn't of hesitated, I can't afford to have torn loyalties among those I am partnered with. the times ahead will be difficult and call for strong and decisive allies." He examines the scene. "There is one for each of you," he motions to Inferi and Asv. "They are yours to do with as you wish. I am sure your master will be pleased."

Kira steps back from the scene of a potential battle, happy to let the others do what they do best. He stands barring the exit.

Asv. suddenly let goes of 22 and looks up at Kira, the skeletal arms tremble as they hold their blades, wanting to tear into them and not just the two wounded. "I have a better idea..." he says' turning his head, white eyes reflecting under the hood of his coat, to Inferi and holds out a his hand the new claws gleaming in the low light.

Infeari regards Asv cooly as he interrupts her. What now! she sighs inwardly. Aloud she asks, "And that would be...?"

"You are part of this, are you not? If you would like I could give them to her myself?" He still holds his hand out to her.

Asv. shakes his head and chuckles, "You forget already who granted you your powers? I am only offering a chance to share giving a gift to a God." He turns away from Infaeri and gets down to 22's level on the floor, he turns his head from side to side, his dead eyes regarding him and the unconscious individual. "You want to live, do you not?"

Kira silently observes the goings on from a distance, intrigued to see the character and choices of those involved. I need to choose my allies wisely, he things, though I wouldn't shed a tear if those demons were to destroy our employer, I would lose the authority I derive from his power, and that authority was flimsy to begin with. I'm walking a tightrope here...

Infaeri seethes at the flimsy comment. As if I had forgotten! "You still make little to no sense and now you are wasting my time. I am well aware of my powers origins. Being a goddess of the dead, I figure she prefers her offerings that way. Maybe you have forgotten that you are no longer bound to her. Why do I need you to interrupt me right now? You said you have an idea. A better idea. Yet you have not given one. Either make sense or stand aside."

22 shakes his head in an attempt to clear some of the pain. A few clear thoughts surfaced. They came in very logical order.

1. Infaeri was the source of this pain.
2. Kira wanted Fal dead.
3. Infaeri was working for Kira
4. Kira wanted to test him. He had told him to kill Fal.
5. Infaeri must be the test to stop him from killing Fal. She had stopped him from performing the order.

Then came a decision though. Would it be easier to kill Fal when Infaeri was distracted by her conversation with Asv or should he attack her directly while she was distracted and attempt to take her down before killing Fal.

If he had been at full form, he would have attempted to attack Infaeri first, but he could tell his body was reaching it's limit so he decided to go for Fal first.

Save vs Pain of 15 (1d20=10) Fail

22 raises his arm towards Fal's prone body(Which was dropped to the floor when 22 fell), and attempts to squeeze the muscles that fire some of his spikes with lethal intent, but was instead greeted by another wave of pain. He rolled into the fetal position, his wings covering him in a cacoon.

Asv. shakes his head, watching 22's hand rise and fall, "You understand nothing and I am bound to my mistress for as long as she see's fit." He turns his head to the side slight and looks at Infaeri "As are you." He turns back to 22 and looks down at Fal. "Give him to me." he says to 22 and pulls Fal from his grasp. (if 22 will let him ;) To take Fal from 22 (1d20=6) jic ) Asv. then holds his hand out palm side up and uses his bladed claws to cut his arm. He takes 22's right arm and draws a strange symbol with his blood on his arm before doing then same thing to Fal. Asv then summons his mistress.
