IZOU'S PALACE

[goei]

KYOTO BAKUMATSU PALACE
You find yourself in historical Kyoto at night. The city is shadowy and beautiful, elegant but hostile. It's a sophisticated city, but you don't belong there and it knows it. Everyone knows it. You are being watched.

Worst of all, a terrible demon haunts the streets of this powerful capital city.

Eli Walsh, Kirumi Tojo, Still Sunrise, Argenti, Yi Sang, Celeste, Mafuyu Asahina, and McGillis Fareed, do you dare journey into hell?

[ Not even upset. ]

Izou changes rooms based on the poem order. Not all of these lines are numbered, but I kept track of when we found them, and it makes a sufficient order for the poem.

However, he didn't start in the Black Thread room that corresponds with the first significant line of the poem. He started in the Reviving room that aligns with the sixth line, which we mistook for the first line of the poem when we encountered him at the beginning. After the eight line, he starts from the beginning.

The order he went through the rooms was: Reviving, Great Burning, Great Screaming, then Black Thread. The next room he'll be in is the Screaming Hell room.

Does that make sense?

[ LA if you wanna roll for the first part I won't even be mad. I think the last sentence is straightforward enough, hopefully. ]

[fullmoonmutt]

You mean he isn't even following the rules of his own damn poem?! That jackass!

[ Okay, he understood enough to be angry at Izou again (did he ever stop who even knows). ]

[ HELLO, he is here and he is still bleeding from the injury he sustained in his epic solo standoff against the demon that happened entirely off screen. It was so cool, trust me on this.

Mafuyu gave him a heal and he's also casting a heal on himself, but the injury is deep and he's still gonna need to get this cleaned when all is said and done. For now, it's the kind of thing he can tough out.

He seems to be... having fun, even? He's grinning a little. ]

I'll go to Screaming, then. Best finish what I started quickly, before he has time to recover.

Who else?

[beathollow]

I think we could set up an ambush in the room to come after, actually... We have multiple long range fighters, after all. This gives us time to position ourselves.

[cirquedesang]

And then we wouldn't have to maneuver around the fires...

[If he even stayed in the room that time.]

[fullmoonmutt]

An ambush? Right. I'll go with rich boy and tin can to help drive him your way.

[idealitas]

I will go with you three as well.

[beathollow]

... A-admittedly I did mean more as a group...

[fullmoonmutt]

You'll still have a group. We need to drive him to the room you're going to or he ain't moving.

[beathollow]

... After he leaves, then, move to the room after ours. We can keep it up, I think, until he's defeated.

[fullmoonmutt]

He won't know what hit him!

[ ...pause. ]

Which one is after your room again...?

[beathollow]

If we're correct, Crushing... though someone can correct me if I misremembered.

[cleansewithfire]

That is correct. Then the "Burning Hell" after that.

[beautifulknight]

[ Someone's having fun, aren't they? The wonders of a Battle Frenzy...

Argenti looks over in his direction and honestly...he's itching for a fight. He waited in that room for reason, ok. ]

I shall accompany you, naturally.

[idealitas]

[ Live your best life, buddy. If that's going into palaces and doling out crits, we support you. ]

I will go with.

for real this time dklnfd

[fullmoonmutt]

Alright. I'm with you. Let's get his ass.
