Katsumi would be able to tuck her legs in in time, and the tree branch stabbed into the ground with a force that could have killed the girl had it hit her. She would be able to continue, and she would need to do so quickly. She would be able to feel herself getting exhausted, and if she ended up becoming too weary here, the wind would take her forever. Her only chance of survival was to make it to the house.

The group would make it out of the chamber successfully, and all of the forces inside would morph into a single creature who charged at the doorway with speed that seemed godlike. With a deathly roar and a blast of wind that would push the group away, it dissipated as it hit the doorway, morphing into a new door to the chamber. If the group tried to pry it open, they would be unsuccessful.

[OoC: This next round is to decide if the group will go down another route. Looted equipment will be rewarded now. If the group is going down another route, the chest will remain locked until they are done.

Takehiro Receives:
Demon's Glaive: Two-hand. This glaive is ornately designed, bearing a skull at the base of the blade. The blade itself is long and powerful, being able to crush whatever it cannot cut through. It binds to the wearer's soul, seeming weightless for them, but almost too heavy to lift for anyone else. +12 Str.
Power: This glaive can become engulfed in flames, dealing fire damage with each swing.

Dark Knight's Helmet: This horned helmet makes the wearer appear to look like a demon. Their eyes seem to turn red whenever it is worn, and their skin turns pitch black, radiating some sort of dark, misty energy.. +4 Con +2 Wis
Power: Strikes to the head cannot daze the wearer. 1/2 damage taken from all blows to the head.

Dark Knight's Spaulders: These spaulders are horned, to match the helmet. They seem to add a good deal of size to the wearer, apart from adding to the appearance of a demon. +6 Con
Power: Unbreakable. Cannot be pierced.

Dark Knight's Chestplate: This chest plate adds full protection for the wearer's torso. It seems very difficult to pierce, and stabbing it seems to be ineffective, as blades seem to bounce off the metal from thrusts. +4 Con +2 Str
Power: Elemental resist. No elemental attacks can harm the wearer's torso.

Dark Knight's Gauntlets: These gloves are large, fully covering the wearer's forearms. There is a spike on the elbow that the wearer can use to to add force to their strikes. +4 Dex +2 Str
Power: Blocking with the gloves nullifies all damage.

Dark Knight Set Bonus: +2 all stats

Yukimura Receives:
Demon Spear: Two-hand. This spear is strong and offers great reach for the wielder. The blade seems to be capable of piercing almost anything. +8 Str +4 Dex
Power: Piercing Blade. This blade seems to be able to pierce almost any material, even going through solid rock with ease.

Dark Warrior's Helmet: This helmet fits snugly on the wearer's head, seeming to hide all of their facial features. Their eyes turn yellow upon use, and their face and neck turn pitch black. +6 Con.
Power: Strikes to the head cannot daze the wearer. 1/2 damage taken from all blows to the head.

Dark Warrior's Spaulders: These spaulders are protective but small, adding little to the wearer's frame, but offering as much protection as possible. +3 Dex +3 Con
Power: Unbreakable. Cannot be pierced.

Dark Warrior's Chestplate: This chestplate offers maximum protection for the wearer's torso. It fits very snugly, and is not overly large, however, offering mobility as well. +3 Con +3 Dex
Power: Elemental resist. No elemental attacks can harm the wearer's torso.

Dark Warrior's Gauntlets: These gloves fit around the wearer's entire forearm, also equipped with spiked studs along the knuckles. +6 Str
Power: Blocking with the gloves nullifies all damage.

Haji Receives:
Demon Blade: This blade is well-made, with padding on the blade just after the guard. The blade itself is long and sharp, and very strong. +4 Str +2 Dex
Power: When paired with the Dark Blade, the two blades can lock together at the base of their hilts. This causes the two weapons to become one double-bladed sword, and the two blades double in length. This creates the Devil Blade, with +6 Str +6 Dex.

Dark Fighter Set Bonus: +6 Dex +4 Str

Katsu-roshi Receives:
Demon Bow: Two-hand. This bow is very well-made, ornately designed with intricate details. When using it, the wearer no longer has the need for a quiver, being able to summon arrows out of thin air. +8 Str when firing, +4 Str when striking.
Power: Spirit Arrows. These arrows can be summoned out of thin air, and are much stronger than almost any arrows you could find or make. They can pierce most materials with ease, and you can have an unlimited number of them.

Takehiro and Katsumi: The mercenary's attack was successful, especially with Katsumi's distraction! As she hopped onto the knight, her hold and Takehiro's strike removed its helmet! While it halted from pain, he rammed the spear under the breastplate and ripped it apart, which would make Katsumi fall on her ass, but the creature was now dead! It would disappear into a void, just like the other two, with a terrifying, blood-curdling screech!

- 1 Knight

Yukimura and Haji: The team attacks from either side would prove effective, as the knight's helmet was removed and its breastplate crushed! As it perished, however, rather than disappear with a screech, the creature began to glow, letting out a powerful pulse, disappearing in a single wave of dark energy! Haji and Yukimura would fall over, both afflicted with Dark poison!

Both players receive Dark poison: They will receive damage equal to 15 str regardless of actions or items for three rounds.

- 1 Knight

The group would hear a very terrifying cacophony of screeches coming from above them, were they would see eleven of the Creatures crawling along the walls! Eleven orbs of darkness popped up from the ground, where the Crawlers formed! Four Knights formed from thin air, just outside the chamber that held the chest!

Takehiro: Takehiro's blow only dazed the knight, though it seemed to make a quick recovery! It brought its hands up, about to strike, but Haji's blow took it out, allowing Takehiro to run toward Katsu-roshi! During his run, he would be halted by catching a flying man/woman-merc!

Yukimura: The time it took Yukimura to make the tourniquet, the knight would have already made its recovery. It brought its blade above Yukimura's head, about to cleave it straight from his shoulders, but was halted by Haji! This gave him the chance to rip into its gauntlet and tear it apart! With Haji's attack, the spear would fall to the ground!

Haji: The young merc would feel a surge of strength, and the strike to the helmet destroyed it! It let out a shriek and disappeared like the previous one, allowing Haji to go assist Yukimura! From behind, he would stab into its gauntlet and rip it off, halting its attack! It shrieked in pain, momentarily halted!

- 1 Knight

Katsumi: Katsumi's maneuver was successful, and she destroyed the knight's gauntlet! It dropped the other bow, letting out a sharp howl of pain, before sending a lob of dark energy at her stomach and sending her flying! Luckily, she would be caught by one Amakusa Takehiro!

Takehiro: Upon equipping the fallen knight's armor set and weapon, Takehiro would feel a surge of strength throughout his body, and as he began to run, he would be noticeably faster! He would reach the knight and the glaive would pierce its armor, ripping through it and tearing it apart! However, rather than falter, it seemed to become angry, lashing out in a wide arc attack, hitting the handle of the glaive and knocking him back!

Yukimura: Yuki pried the knight's armor from its shoulder, but as he tried to strike its head, one gauntlet shot up and took his blade, crushing it in its hand. The knight's spear would impale Yukimura a second time, twisting in his shoulder before ripping out. Yukimura fell to the ground, though with only one good arm!

Haji: Haji was able to make it to the knight just after Takehiro hit it, but he would be met with a dark fist to the face, causing him to fall over, dazed! Ooh boy!

Katsumi: The archer managed to swoop down in time to grab the knight's bow, though she would have no chance to use it just yet, as it struck her back and pushed her away! The blow was, fortunately, not entirely painful, as the knight seemed to have difficulties fighting at the moment. She would be able to react quick enough to find the knight lifting up her bladed bow, and swinging it down upon her head! Move, woman!

Takehiro: The mercenary managed to destroy the knight's gauntlets! With all of its armor destroyed, it let out a blood-curdling shriek that would ring out across the entire room, before it was pulled into a single spiral of darkness, vanishing! Now Takehiro just had a glaive in his shoulder!

- 1 Knight

Yukimura: Yukimura destroyed the knight's shoulder armor, and it reared back in "pain," pulling the spear out from Yukimura's shoulder before he had a chance to rip the spear out himself! It began faltering, giving him another opening for an attack!

Haji: Haji would strike the knight's inner-elbow, and he pried the gauntlet from its body, dropping the second sword! However, before Haji would have a chance to grab it, it shot out a single wave of darkness from its body, pushing Haji all the way across the room, until he landed against a wall!

Haji is now affected with: Dark poison. For the next three rounds, he will take damage equal to 15 Str, regardless of actions and item bonuses.

Katsumi: Katsumi successfully dislodged the knight's gauntlet, causing it to drop its bow! Before she could do anything else, however, it shot out a wave of darkness, sending Katsumi flying across the room, where she would slam into a wall!

Katsumi is now affected with: Dark poison. For the next three rounds, she will take damage equal to 15 Str, regardless of actions and item bonuses.

Current Kill Count: 31 - SILVER COMPLETED

Takehiro: Takehiro managed to escape, and he destroyed the knight's shoulder plates! However, it reacted ungodly quickly, taking the merc with both hands and flinging him against the nearest wall! Before he could hit the floor, he would find his shoulder impaled by the glaive, and the knight would ram its fist into his stomach!

Yukimura: Yukimura would not have had much luck in escaping! Though he was about to roll, the spear would find itself lodged into his shoulder and piercing the stone wall, pinning him! Luckily for him, his spear pierced the knight's shoulder armor, and, if he tried hard enough, he could knock it loose!

Haji: Haji successfully crushed and destroyed the knight's shoulder armor, and it faltered once more! Shaking, the knight began to glow, radiating a dark energy around itself!

Katsumi: Katsumi's maneuver was successful! She pried the armor from its shoulder, and it faltered once again, like it had been doing! It, like Haji's, began radiating a dark glow around itself, having dropped her bow!

Takehiro: The mercenary successfully destroyed the knight's helmet, which would fall to pieces on the floor! However, before Takehiro could hit the floor, it would wrap its arms around him, lean back, and slam his head into the ground! Feudal-elemental suplex!

Yukimura: The knight did let go! Just, not how Yukimura wanted! Rearing its arm, the knight would launch Yukimura toward a wall, where he would hit his back and fall to the floor! The knight was charging at him now, spear in hand, ready to impale him and stick him to the wall!

Haji: The blade went through the eye socket and the knight halted for a moment, shaking! Haji was able to grab the one sword, and he could already feel himself getting stronger! He had to act quickly, because the knight angrily swept around in a 720 degree slash, two full circles around itself!

Katsumi: She was able to parry successfully! However, before she could raise her bow, the knight's hand shot out to grab it, pushing her back! It would charge forward, continuing to push her so she was sliding along the ground, and if she did not act quickly, she would be slammed repeatedly into the closest wall!

Takehiro: The mercenary would avoid decapitation, and whirled around to the knight's back! His rain of blows dented and eventually destroyed the breastplate, but not without repercussions! Takehiro would find himself swatted to the side by a dark-iron gauntlet to the face!

Yukimura: Yukimura was able to avoid the slash, but as he tried to go for the shoulder joint slash, the knight caught the spear with one hand, tossing it to the side! While Yukimura would be stumbled, the knight grabbed him by the throat and held him up in the air, choking him!

Haji: Haji was able to strike the elbow joint, ripping off the gauntlet! The knight's arm became useless, and one of its swords fell to the ground! However, that arm could still hit things, so a fist of darkness rammed into Haji's nose!

Katsumi: Due to her running, the woman's accuracy would be affected! Along with the fact the knight began moving once again, only one of her shots made it through the armor, rattling the knight for a moment before it charged forward and swung the bow like a bat at Katsumi! Its ends were bladed, so if she were struck, she would find herself disemboweled!

Katsumi's tactic worked, so far! She was able to close some of the distance between herself and the house, though it would prove to be very difficult because of the strong winds, which would wear her down pretty quickly. As she advanced, she would be able to spot a large tree branch whirling through the air, and unless she moved forward quickly, it would impale her right in the hip!
