[ they can hecking well try but grandpappy is too stubbon for such behavior. ]
I am who I am, creation myth or not. This Kogitsunemaru is a warrior at days end and even I not let some mockery of Mikazuki-dono deny such...!
[ hHHHRGH. STUBBORNNESS RUES THE DAY and even if it feels like he's wading through the deepest of swamp muck, this challenge will not drag him under ]
These humans are worthy of my time and protection regardless of what the have or haven't done. That is a choice I've decided for myself and need no more reason than that. To give in, to lose to a battle even the strongest face at times is not an option!
[ well, grandpappy's stubborness is going to do him well here because ari rolled a nat 20.
the determination of kogitsunemaru is as sharp and well honed as his blade, as tough as tempered steel. as he calls on the illusion for its mockery of jiji, the lantern in his free hand flares. the light turns yellow, then flashes a brilliant blue.
kogitsunemaru, you hear the voices of your teammates. of your leader. they latch onto your spirit, course strength through your bones. despite the vicious, sucking pull of the shadowy hands, despite the way they claw at your silks, you tear one arm free and grab for the loamy dirt. your other arm tears free of another clawing hand, and grabs onto a tree branch.
the voices all call at once.
THE TRUTH LIES IN THE FLAME.
and with a violent flash of light, you tear free from the shadows and burst forward into the darknesss like a bat out of hell. the dark fog clears away, enough to show you the entrance of a temple, where your exhausted companions are trying to heal themselves.
