[Game Thread] The Miyamakoori Monastery

[brann miekka]

Talhoffer cleared his throat and took back up his cane, having used both hands for casting, and says, "Atleast we know we can take them out with quick bursts, but we should not dawdle; others may still need our help." Leaning backwards he looks into the hallway, more specifically to the door right outside and says, "Let us make haste." he stands out of the way and waits for someone less frail to take point before following into the hallway.

Watching the oni fall to the elf's blade, Isaru takes a step away from the remains and shifts his hold on the naginata. "Your abilities are as peculiar as they are effective." Doing his best to keep the weapon angled so that the blood drips away from him, he makes for hallway and the door beyond.

You enter a large hall, devoid of furnishings, though the walls are all hung with silk tapestries featuring the stylized image of a beautiful woman, dressed in white, standing before a snowy backdrop. Though mostly empty, the hall is immaculately clean, and the wooden floors have a warm luster indicative of many hours of polishing and waxing. The southern door, and all the windows, have been flung wide open so that the room is frigidly cold. Some snow is falling though the windows. In each corner of the room are placed braziers, unlit but filled partially with oil. Another monk lies here dead, just as the others you have found were.

Lanaya shuddered once she felt herself get hit by another freezing wave coming from the oni as soon as her flaming blade touched it's body - she knew she wouldn't be able to keep this up for much longer, but at least she could keep the demons off her current allies for the moment. The elf girl kept herself from replying to the samurai's remark - every tiny bit of movement was a strain on her as she silently followed the others, keeping her blade close enough to her body to provide a little bit of warmth.
Once the group entered the room, her eyes lit up at the sight of those braziers, and even more when she found them filled with some oil. With no further words said, the magus ran over to one of them and tried to fire them up by holding her still burning blade against the flammable substance.

The fire lights up easily, and an instant warmth begins to radiate from the brazier, though this is mitigated somewhat by the cold coming into the room from the still open windows and door. You would guess that each brazier holds enough oil to provide warmth for half an hour.

Walking across the room, cane echoing solidly on the floor, Talhoffer kneels down with a grunt and attempts to yes, yes, i know hes dead, this is for the how

assess the monks state. Looking over his shoulder he says, "You may wish to close the window; even with how flimsy they are they will keep in the heat from that lamp. I can only assume you are quite cold right now."

see if there is anything of interest. Then drags the body to the nearest window and tosses the body out. "No telling if the Onis are using the monk's bodies as vessels, might as well clear the room. If we need to have a ceremony later for the dead, their bodies will be going nowhere."

[PopCultureBard]

"Are we stopping here?" Isaru scans the area beyond the southern door, trying to spot any potential danger. "Three ways in without including the windows. This isn't a promising place to rest our legs." Taking position near the south door, he continues to keep vigil there. "Those oni were not individually powerful but I'd hate to face a group of them."

[ShinobiMaster123]

"I am just clearing the room. I agree this room would not be easy to defend."

[Aerandor]

Talhoffer is unable to detect anything about the nature of the monk's death. The only thing that is obvious about the monk is that he is as cold as ice to the touch, his lips blue and coated with frost. The fire from the brazier starts to warm Lanaya, and she feels It will take about 10 minutes for the warmth immediately around the brazier to remove the fatigued condition.just a bit better.

[DMDracoMoondragon]

Zariel approached Lanaya and took her coat off, offering it to the elf. "Here. You need this a lot more than I do." She then sat next to the brazier, but not for the heat. She just found the flame a little comforting.

[brann miekka]

Talhoffer patiently rapped his fingers upon his cane as Lanaya tried to warm up again. "I'm inclined to agree, once the young lady is done warming herself we should be heading to master koyamata's chambers, it is there we will find the source of this strife."

[ShinobiMaster123]

Shinobi reaches into the main pouch of his haversack and draws out a set of cold weather clothes. They are spotted camo white and gray. He hands them to Lanaya, Toshi not need this now, better than coat."

(OOC adds +2 to hide in snowy environment)

[Lightened]

Lanaya got a thankful expression once the tiefling's coat got handed to her, and even more of one when she saw the cold weather clothes of Toshi. At the prospect of having to step into the biting cold again with just the silk armor and her usual clothes, which barely did anything to keep the freezing away, her cautiousness of accepting things from a stranger so easily faded in a matter of seconds, and she slipped the gray and white cold weather clothes over the silk over the slenderness of her body rather easily, before giving Toshi a grateful smile and handing Zariel her coat back, not needing it with the comforting thick wool keeping her warm. "I thank you, Toshi. I swear, I will make this up to you in the near future. For now though, we should get out of this mess, and quickly." Without further ado, she picked the north door for them, realising they had waited too long for her and not wanting to stay indebted, just standing before it and looking back at the group. "I apologise for keeping you. Shall we?"

Lanaya steps out of the north door, and instantly it feels a lot colder than she remembered it before she had sat in front of the fire, though whether this is just a trick of the mind or not is hard to decipher. The snow has continued to steadily fall, blanketing the blue tiled roofs of the monastery's buildings with drifts of white. It is hard to see very far through the snow, though Lanaya is able to make out another building directly opposite the one she just left, with another door facing her, as well as craggy side of the mountain to her left, which rises up several hundred feet from the ravine that the monastery is situated in. To her right, she can just make out another wall, most likely belonging to the central hall of the monastery, if she remembers correctly.
