As Katsumi put the shards on the pedestal, they would manifest into a single orb, before breaking apart into an energy that would flow into her body! The same spirit entity from before would appear in front of her, a smile on his face.

"Congratulations, Young One. You have done all I believed you could."

His fingers would touch her forehead, and she would feel a powerful energy surging through her, unlike any she had ever felt. And then, when she blinked, it was all over. She would be back with Haji, almost like nothing had ever happened.

[OoC: Musou earned: Wind Manipulation. Thread locked.]

Takehiro: a5fMKj|f

Group: �

What he searched for was not in sight, and he had a good amount of buildings to check! There was a tavern of sorts in the center of the encampment, as well as two rows of huts on either side of him. Before he could do much, a man left his hut, yawning, and bumped into the large man's side! He would look up, almost terrified, and if Brandt did not act quickly, the man would let out a loud shriek of horror!

Takehiro: Retrieving his weapons, the mercenary's tactic seemed to scare off the two Riders for a moment, before he was tackled to the ground by the Stalker! It would begin to claw at his face, while the Riders would whip at his wrists in an attempt to hold them down!

Group: Upon diving through the vortex, the group would slide along the ground in a new area! Here they had two paths to choose from: An immediate right, or another right, further up the path!

Brandt's attack would prove successful, his method allowing him to dispatch the single guard with ease! The man perished without a sound, his body collapsing in two heaps on the ground!

To his left, Brandt would see the inside of the encampment, and what few people were walking around outside had not noticed the large man at the exit!

Takehiro: Takehiro's fists would slam into the two Riders' stomachs, propelling them down the hall! The Stalker took the brunt of his strikes to its face, but whipped its tendrils down to ram his legs out from under him, so he'd fall on his face! The Stalker would take him by the back of the head and throw him down toward the Riders! Fortunately, that was where his ax and glaive were!

Group: As the group made that turn, the wall behind them would suddenly have steel spikes pop out from behind it, and it would begin to move toward them rather quickly! They would have to make it down the hall or be very deadified! At the end of the hall would be a turn, and after that turn, the group would find a strange blue vortex!

The whirlwind was indeed weak enough for her to go through and take the shard! However, it would not weaken anymore than the state it was already in!

Takehiro: Katsumi would get no arrows off before the wall was covered with a powerful dark energy that would not permit the team to leave! His glaive would cut through the Stalker's arm a few times before one of the two Riders jumped up and slammed its feet into his ribs, causing him to fly down the hall! He would crash against a wall, and find the monsters charging him! He had no weapon but his fists!

Group: As the wall sealed off, Katsumi's arrows would disappear in a dark void! In front of the group would be three paths: they could go straight and make an immediate left, they could turn right down the hall and, from there, go left or right, as well.

Upon entering the final door, there would be a room very similar to the second one she entered, only there would be no pressure plates. The wind was no so terrifying it would lift her off her feet, however, and the shard was floating in the middle of the whirlwind!

As the group retreated from the middle chamber, if they looked back, they would seem a growing mass of somewhere around forty monsters of various kinds; some they recognized, others they did not. As Naotora approached the entrance to the chamber, the group would be pulled out by a dark energy, and every single monster left within formed into a single mass of darkness that roared and charged at the door, forming yet another barrier. If the group tried to get past it, much like before, they would not be able to.

[OoC: Middle Chamber complete. Gold awarded. Daimyo chests will remain locked if you are continuing the dungeon, but if you end here, all the loot from within the chests will be given to you. Loot from monsters, however, will be handed out now.
