[DEADLY EVENT] Lessons Learned (D1, Late Night)

[Mindshred]

The blade cuts into the oni's chest, just as it raises its claws to tear Taichi apart. Recoiling backwards, the demon releases a hiss of anger as its shelled carapace begins to crumble away into dark purple sand.

"This is not the end," the demon hisses as its form collapses in on itself. "I have... the name of your kin... now I am... as much Unicorn as you..." It hisses one last time, a halting, choking sort of laughter to fades away as the last of its body crumbles, leaving an uneven patch of unhealthy-looking sand behind as a reminder of its presence.

Behind it, the three flaming yurts continue to burn into the night.

[Shinjo Taichi, Otaku Kitakuhime, and Otaku Chi-Pu each gain +.2 Glory]

[Otaku Chi-Pu]

"Stay with him Kitakuhime! I will fetch a healer!"

Chi-Pu looks to the tents and starts to turn Tianma

[Moto Khulun]

Somewhere nearby... Oguro stops his gallop to chew on the grass.

Khulun stares off into the darkness unable to turn her head.

[Shinjo Taichi]

As the creature falls, Taichi's spirits soar. The poison that was in his system seems to fade away, leaving him weak, but exhilarated. Turning to the fallen Moto, he returns the sword to the sheathe before attempting to get her onto Kitakuhime's horse. "Thank you for the loan of your sword sister, my strike was strengthened by your spirit." Damn that sounded good.

Turning to the Battlemaidens, he said "I'm glad that you are both safe. We must get Moto-san to a healer as soon as possible, there was some kind of poison in the oni's strikes. I believe I am ok for now, but she should be treated as soon as possible."

Meanwhile, Harukaze approached cautiously, keeping a distance from the place where the oni had fallen.

[Otaku Kitakuhime]

Kitakuhime's nods to Taichi and gently embraces Khulun to place her over Gekko. The steed neighs, shaking it head positively in celebration.

On her way out, she whistles loudly, calling the attention of the recently awakened samurai nearby. "Call the Iuchi and let's put out the fire."

[Otaku Chi-Pu]

Chi-Pu and Tianma complete their turn and start to race off down the row of tents.

"Unicorn! To arms! We have been attacked!"

Chi-Pu reaches out to rap her hand along the Yurt frames...

...and promtply falls off Tianma. The warhorse skids to a stop and whinnys loudly.

Chi-Pu groans and tries to stand. She stumbles to her feet and immedietly begins wretching, vomiting up the remainder of her stomach contents
