((This event will NOT interrupt your sleep. You will regain all Void points, Spell slots, and will not have Fatigue))

((If your character underwent Gempuku in their own lands, they have access to all of their equipment, it has just been stored in their room as they normally are not allowed to carry it outside their clan lands since in the eyes of the Empire, they are not yet Adults.))

Outside of Bayushi Kaideas room, a cat scratches at his door and meows constantly and loudly.

((Bayushi Kaidan MUST participate. 3 additional players may join this thread to begin the event. If there are more players that wish to join, an additional Gaki will be added until there are a max of 7 Gaki.))

Enemy Statistics:
O-Toyo (1, disguised as a housecat)
AIR 2, -REFLEXES 4
EARTH 2
FIRE 2, -AGILITY 4
WATER 3, PERCEPTION 4

Initiative: 2k1
Attack: Fangs 9k4 (Complex)
Damage: 5k3 (fangs)
Armor TN: 25 Reduction: 3
Wounds: 20: +10, 40: Dead.

Special Abilities:
cDeceptive Visage: The o-toyo may change its form to that of a common house cat at will. A viewer who rolls Perception at TN 25 will see its true form from the corner of his eye.

cDestroyer of Life: The o-toyo drains the essence of those under its fangs. Each successful attack heals the o-toyo by 5 Wounds.

cSpirit. After reduction is applied, unless the damage is dealt from a source such as Jade, Crystal, or Obsidian, the damage is halved
Gaki: (3 at start, all Invisible)
AIR: 2 - REFLEXES 4
EARTH: 2
FIRE: 2, -AGILITY 4
WATER: 3
STRENGTH 4

Initiative: 4k4
Attack: Claw 4k4 (Complex), ignores physical armor
Damage: 3k3
Armor TN: 25 Reduction: 5
Wounds: 12: +5; 24: +10; 36: Dead.

Special Abilities:
cBlood Draining: A gaki may forgo normal damage from a successful attack in order to drain the victim’s blood, drawing it out through translucent fi ngers. This inflicts 12 Wounds on the victim and heals the gaki by the same amount.

cFear 3. Players must roll a Willpower roll + Honor at a TN of 20 or suffer -3k0 to all of their rolls

cImmortality: Gaki cannot actually be killed, and if their physical form is destroyed, they reform within Gaki-do.

cInvisibility: A gaki may become invisible as a Free Action, and while invisible may pass through walls and other solid inanimate objects (though not through living creatures).

cShapeshifting: All gaki can take the form of a normal insect as a Complex Action. Regaining their true form is a Simple Action.

cSpirit. After reduction is applied, unless the damage is dealt from a source such as Jade, Crystal, or Obsidian, the damage is halved

cSuperior Invulnerability: Gaki are immune to all illusion spells and to all spells, skills, and techniques which affect the mind or thoughts.

cPossession: A shozai-gaki can possess a mortal as a Complex Action by winning a Contested Willpower roll. This possession causes the victim to suffer high fever and wracking chills, losing 1k1 Wounds per day as the gaki feeds directly on their essence. The gaki can be driven out of its victim with the spells Ward of Purity or Bonds of Ningen-do

With sleep in his eyes, Dao is woken from his slumber by the constant mewling of the cat. He staggers into the communal hallway and spots the creature scratching against one of the doors

"Really? Tonight?" He grumbles at the apparently lost kitty. "It's not like tomorrow's important or anything you know." He mumbles to himself as he approaches the feline.

"Yer nothin' but a barnacle stuck to the stern of a garbage scow, ye nattering', pestilent, matin' scallywag! ... Garr!" Kokyou curses as he hears the cat meowing loudly.

The Mantis slides the door of his room open and goes see what's happening, after putting himself some clothes.

Something has sent Sasaiko out walking. And so it is that she sees Dao and the cat. At first, it seems odd, but not especially so (Perception 21 to notice form), but something about its behavior does seem off, so she looks more closely, her thumb stroking the map Wyn gave her...

Something is wrong with the cat. (School ability passed without Raises; she knows it's a spirit.)

(Will hold to wait for Kaiden.)

Kokyou yawns and then covers his mouth nodding to the others that have also woken up. As Saisaiko comes closer, he doesn't bother the cat. Better to watch her move. Where those her sleeping robes?

How pleasant.

Kaidan was trying to get some shut eye when he hears the scratching on the door. "Ninya... stop it." The scratching continued. The young Bayushi woke up and opened the door.

The cat goes to pounce on Kaidan, fangs bared.

"It's a spirit; beware!"

Sasaiko makes to pull a scroll from her satchel, one that will summon the purity of jade to assail the spirit--and leave the rest unharmed.

"It's a what now?" Dao replied sleepily. The confusion quickly replaced by concern as everyone reacted offensively towards the little kitty.

Timbers... Hatches...
He opened an eye to see it was heavy dark. Why were people talking so low? He was having good night sleeps when travelling, something he could not afford at the Wall unless he risked his own life to block his ears.
It's a spirit, beware!
He opened another, not sleepily this time. Already sleeping with jade enlaced on his arm, it was just a question of taking the conveniently placed on the sidetable weapons and running like Jigoku to the direction of the sound.

Kichiro stumbles out of his room half asleep. Sounds of battle cries and magic ringing within his mind just before he slaps himself awake. He sprints with all his strength towards the conflict hoping he isn't too late.

On Arrival...


"What unholy abomination is that!?" Kichiro roars out as he joins alongside his samurai. Unsure what to make of this monster, Kichiro instantly calms his nerves and focuses hard on gathering inner strength to smite this foe back to the spirit realm!

"What in Jigoku?" He quickly tried to dodge. He moved to get his weapon, his ancestor's blade. He prepared it, to strike next time this creature came to him.

Ghosting Toritaka Sasaiko:

Sasaiko whispers a prayer to the kami and a bright green flash of light fills the hallway. The cat lets out a howl of pain as the light enters it, its fur smoking from being burned.

Kokyou widens his eyes at Sasaiko's green blast and gets super hyped it is his Clan's colors.

"Ha-haaar!" He encourages her with a thumbs up and fetches the first thing he sees ahead of him to bash down upon the beast. Not sure if it was a lamp, a vase, or Kaidan's traveling pack. It wasn't too big, but it sure shattered with the impact.

Going with the momentum, Kokyou kicks the cat in the face –– and potentially out of the room –– saying, "Ye flea bag!"

The flying cat zooms straight towards Dao and the Dragon student is taken aback. with a quick return volley he parries the flying feline, deflecting it into a wall.

"Hey, watch where you're kicking those things!!!" He shouts at Kokyou.
