The Old Road [Event]

[Promeleon]

Geed was very unhappy.  When Geed was unhappy, then his subordinates suffered.  Suffered more than usual actually, as working under him was not exactly a walk in the park.  This country was simply too hot for his poor skin, and he was sweating!  Imagine, a noble like him allowing himself to sweat, it was quite disgraceful; Helga was simply useless with that fan of hers; it was not giving him the cooling he needed.  Blasted desert and blasted help, it was all horrible.  How he had ended up dealing with this awful Gallows woman was beyond him.  The deal with the previous kages had been simple, an honest matter of them sending some Shinobi to acquire the money for protection.  This new leader was not a pleasant woman to deal with.  His protests had been ignored, and the prices had been raised, and they had to do extra work?  It was beyond him, but her message had terrified him enough to come along and maybe try and bargain with her.  Geed had even gone as far as bringing his best help in order to protect him.  Best at combat at least, clearly keeping him cool was not a specialty of theirs.  

The carriage he was riding in moved quite slowly through the sand too, and even Meroch was struggling to draw the heavy wooden vehicle through the desert, as his massive muscular form was coated in sweat, and his breast heaved with each exhausted breath.  Heather sat upon his shoulders with her legs wrapped loosely around his massive neck, and a bottle of water in her hand, hydrating him occasionally and fanning him with her spare sun hat.  Geed had expected her to be helping him, but Helga had forced her way into the carriage with him claiming she was going to do it.  Now he was sitting next to the skinny woman with her strange citrus decorated dress.  He did not like her.  The hat she wore looked like a weird condom, and her horse like laugh was very upsetting, especially when she continuously laughed loudly at whatever he said while trying to impress him.  Every time that disgusting laugh sounded; Gregory could be heard from his seat on the back of the carriage sighing in disgust.  

Meroch was shirtless; and his toned skin coated in sweat, shone in the bright sunlight of the desert; and his white pants were rolled up to the knees in order to get some air around him, but obviously he was already quite overheated and tired, so he could barely feel any added effect.  There was a towel wrapped around his shoulders so that Heather could sit comfortably atop his wide frame without getting his sweat all over her white and blue striped stockings, and her rouge skirt.  Her light blue shirt that was draped across her shoulders had more clouds sown onto it than there were in the bright blue sky, and it protected her from the burning sun, along with the orange hat with the green strap on it.  It looked as though she would be too warm; but she seemed quite content as she rode silently atop her best friends shoulders.  The two of them both looked quite happy, even the Kamyuja as he dragged the sand laden carriage behind him.  Normally there would have been horses; but Meroch had accidentally spilled a coffee on Geed the previous week, and now he was being punished.

The final member of this troop was wearing a black suit with golden buttons on the shirt with a navy undershirt and a black tie.  Gregory say with a scowl on his face as he sweat furiously in the desert sun.  He was upset that he had been dragged out here; away from his wonderful bar and booze, and deposited in a dead land, with a midget, a fat rich midget, a gorilla and a skinny witch who would not sleep with him.  All these negative emotions were culminating into a bad headache, and the bottle of rye that he had between his legs was not helping.  Was the carriage wobbling?  No, the desert was spinning a little bit.  More rye would help him feel a little more balanced, and maybe it would make Helgas laugh more tolerable.  As the horse like guffaws sounded from inside the carriage, he sighed and swigged a greater gulp than ever, draining the bottle to almost empty, and hiccuping after.  

"Woman would you shut up!"

Geeds whiny voice sounded out, and Gregory perked up, looking over the sill of the window, watching the two interact.  Apparently the rich fool had said something and she had laughed right into his ear, and now he was fighting her off as she tried to stroke his face, the ruffles of his shirt riding up as his fat neck receded into his fat shoulders.    The chubby noble looked like a bulbous lime from this position, and Gregory felt the urge to cut him like one, but he was having trouble sitting down right now.  Helga looked furious as the advances were denied, and quit fanning the fat noble and crossed her arms, looking the other way with her nose stuck up in the air.  The heat must have began to get to Geed after a couple of seconds though; and he turned back to her, begging her to continue fanning him with the fan, making her eyes large and watery as though he had proceeded to tell her that he was in love with her.  Heather sighed from atop her seat on Meroch.

Still a distance away, Rai had seen nothing but endless sand and the occasional pile of bones from whichever poor soul that decided to give up and die. He had seen no ghosts so he assumed they were resting in peace. He walked tirelessly, ignoring the sun and the heat of the desert. His body had long grown used to horrid conditions and thus they did not bother him anymore. Then he happened across a trail, a plainly obvious one in the midst of the desert, where the winds would cover normal tracks like nothing. No, these were a bit different and plain. While some of them were already being covered up, he was able to make quick use of what he could see. Heavy steps with wheels. Possibly the supplier. He turned to his companion.

"We're on their trail, they are not that far from here. They are heading east, northeast. Given the freshness of these tracks, they must not be that far away. Given that we still see nothing, we can assume we are at a safe distance. I will start to scout now. Guard my body please. After I am done scouting, we can make plans."

The spirit detective had not been given exact instructions but from his Sense Motive check earlier, "picking up the supplies" had not sounded as straightforward as it seemed. Perhaps they were to use force? He wondered just what kind of supplier would openly support rebels. The pieces did not fit, so he had to try to use them another way. It would be best to approach the situation prudently. It would be far worse to assume they were friendly and get counter attacked than to make the first move and incapacitate whoever was in charge, taking them hostage. He sighed. Making deductions would be pointless without more evidence. His soul flew out of his body and started flying ahead. Soon, it would find the ones he sought.

ryota we are the warriors that built this town Ryota had seen no point in speaking once they had left the outer walls of the city, and his companion had, similarly, not struck up any conversation. He may have been a Quixote, but at least he was not one to babble on like an infant. Small mercies, Ryota had thought. The desert sun was out in vengeance today, but even Ryota - born of Kusa no Kuni - had grown somewhat accustomed to its blazing heat in his time within the country limits. He strode beside the man whose name he did not know, whom he was presently accompanying to acquire the supplies necessary for military revolution. The reason for that being mainly that the stranger did know his name.  Ryota tried not to think too heavily about the implications of the scenario, harking back to the training he had received what seemed like a lifetime ago. Thoughts of 'failure' and 'success' will only distract you. What matters is that you focus entirely on the situation at hand. Victory will come naturally. The boy was still carrying his butt bag, filled with two knives, fifty-seven ninja needles, twenty shuriken and a compass. At the small of his back was a short, sheathed cinquedea, though he was not well-practiced in using the thing. Ryota could romanticize the current situation, if he wished. It was triumph or die, rather like the Hawo Azami contracts he had spent the first part of his life being disciplined so that he could take up; kill your target, or we kill you. Anything so that he resented the situation a little less. Eventually, they came across a rut in the endless mass of sand; the other halted in his tracks, a second before Ryota. The development begged for eye contact and conversation; Ryota obliged begrudgingly. His companion spoke of 'scouting', and asked that Ryota 'guard his body', which Ryota was bemused by, though in following, the Quixote went very, very still. Was he deranged? Deluded? What was he doing? If he is not currently capable of moving... I could kill him this very instant... and severely injure the hopes of this revolution. Perhaps the rest will perish without mentioning me; none of them have seen me since. Ryota moved behind his motionless accompaniment and, experimentally, drew the shortblade and pointed it at the man's nape, his face expressionless. Would he move...?

Meroch stared off in the distance, and the carriage had stopped moving as he looked off into the desert.  The dune he was staring at looked familiar.  Heather still sat upon his shoulders and she tapped on his head, wondering why they had stopped.  Gregory had also taken note, but he was enthralled in the action occurring in the back of the carriage as the idiot rich child fended off his attacker who weighed about one quarter of his hefty weight but still managed to overpower him.  The slimy weasel riding on the back rail grinned to himself as he watched his employer suffer, but thought it poigniant to maybe inform the two of the lack of movement in the carriage.  Helga punched the bearded man in the face and the doubly named fool at the back fell off of his seat while he laughed like he had just witnessed the funniest thing ever.  While the fight progressed, Meroch and Heather still stared off into the distance.

It was not the dune that was familiar, Meroch decided, it was that he could see their trail again.  They were going in circles.  His biceps had fooled him again.   They were lost in the desert now, which is what the large man dragging the carriage had recalled Heather saying would happen if they let Geed decide on the route they were going to travel if they did not take the normal route in the desert to the village.  The large man shrugged, which was a surprise to the unsuspecting girl riding him, and she fell off onto the sandy earth below.  Normally the massive man would have been able to catch her in time, but he had fallen asleep, he was kind of tired from dragging around the carriage, but mostly because he had not slept in a few days and he just felt like going to sleep.  Now the cart was never going to move until he woke up, considering the giant was famously difficult to wake up.  It was now that Geed noticed the lack of movement.  

"Get off, get off, get off!"

The gross little man punched the blonde in the face and rolled out onto the sand screaming madly.  It may have been words, but with a mouthful of sand it was  gibberish.  Helga tumbled out after him, kicking him and screaming bloody murder as the nosebleed she was trying to stem was a little more out of control than she could handle.  Gregory had not stopped laughing yet, and the troop was making enough noise that the whole of Sunagakure could probably hear them.  Heather brushed herself off and stared at the group of them, shaking her head with great disdain.  How had she ended up here?

ooc-Prome said I could be apart of this development

~enter~

Walking upon the sand, xer exposed skin shined brightly due to the relentless sunlight. Wearing xer usual attire the short sleeveless brown fur cloak reflected the sun's grasp while the jewleed silver and sapphire headdress glistened brigthtly. The Siren nonchalantly glanced up at the sky awaiting for the stars to appear. As the day progressed it turned out to be disappointing. Usually xhe would love this little amount of freedom without any experimentation upon xer body yet standing behind a bubbling cauldron sounded better as the minutes passed. Glancing down at xer body Peisinoe frowned slightly xhe was so hungry not for food yet adoration. Having someone kiss xer feet and worship the ground that was bestowed by xer steps was something the siren could never get enough of. Although, the day yielded a lack of this vital nutrient. A slight huff escaped the songstress lips while crossing xer well toned and slender arms gently pressing against xer lovely bust as xer cleavage poked through the opening in the front of the short fur cloak. Also another annoying factor was Peisinoe haven't seen Diomad all day which was odd due they technically living at the same facility. Despite the relentless heat this land was entertaining still the Land of Moon was where xer dreams went traveled to normally. Glancing around as the arid wind brushed against the brown fur skirt the siren began to hum slightly rubbing against xer black lace knee high stockings. It was pointless to do so with no-one around yet it was something to do as xhe made xer way back to the village.

Although, the humming began to turn into a tune which led to xer voice preparing to sing.

"When your rife with devastation, there is a simple explanation, your a toy makers creation stuck in aa crystal baaall" Peisinoe sang remembering the first years of xer life in the sunagakure academy. It was not a pleasant adjustment getting labeled as a witch yet in the end they all became xer toys to play with. Each one of the words were smooth yet soul piercing. Rose colored eyes glistened as the siren smiled a defiant smirk.

"whenever he tilts it, know that we will be resilient, we wont let them break our spirit, as we sing our silly soong" the songstress continued to let the heart enticing tune flow out into the ever ending desert as xer hips wiggled allowing the notes control the direction xer hips and slow the songstress' casual strides. However, once a loud and annoying ruckus began to echo in the distance the siren's song ended.

Xhe glanced ahead wondering who was screaming and why they was out in the desert in the first place. Slowly Peisinoe's left slender hand slithered up against xer flesh upon xer torso brushing against xer lady lumps resting upon xer chin. Pondering what the person may look like the songstress gently nibbled upon xer finger. Xhe needed some attention to make this day worth it let alone getting a possible follower would be nice as well. Gently xhe closed her eyes trying to remember the rumors that was going around in the village. Maybe who it was had something to do with that eager to find out the siren ventured forward towards the source of the sound.

Rai's soul swiftly sought out his targets. There were five of them. A large muscular man who seemed to be pulling the caravan, a quiet reclusive child who seemed precocious for her age, a pompous lady who seemed to be very attention-seeking, a very shady looking man and finally the fat rich man who seemed to be in charge of them. They did not seem to be having a good time together, arguing and bickering. Having gotten there before the fighting started, he also noticed that they were lost. Having assessed the situation, he soared back to his body. On his way back, he noticed a rather attractive girl strolling through the desert singing. Was she from the Village? He could not tell but he could have sworn he saw her somewhere else before. Regardless, he doubted he could see her but he waved anyway and pointed at the direction of his body.

Now approaching his body, he saw Ryota pointing a blade at his back. Now he was starting to get irritated at this boy. While he was fine with verbal assault, intending to actually harm him crossed the line. Gone was the old soul who was usually patient. On the way here, he had worked out a strategy that would get them what they needed, according to the three who had sent them out there. But if he was not going to cooperate, then it would be better to erase him here and now. He went back into his body and immediately backed away from Ryota. As he did so, he activated his Jutsu, summoning sixteen halos that grew out eighty tendrils each all around the two of them.

"Alright. I know you did not like me from the start. But pointing a blade at me is a different story. Decide now. Give me your word to cooperate and save your friend who is now involved or die here by my hand since you seem so eager to fight. There is no one else out here but our enemies. Choose."

Rai was not kidding around. If Ryota did not give the response Rai was looking for, then all 1280 tendrils would descend upon him and utterly destroy him. He had enough of games with this boy. He did not want to kill an valuable asset so this was mainly as a threat. Words did not seem to get through to youngsters who thought like Ryota. From Rai's experience, force was an effective substitute.

ryota we are the warriors that built this town The Quixote did not move for the longest time, and nor did Ryota. Internally, Ryota was still conflicted. Not because murder so foul was outside his ethical boundaries, but simply because he was unsure, at this point, if it was the proper course of action to take. FUCKIN' DO IT YOU LITTLE SHIT, BEEN TOO LONG SINCE YOU'VE ACTUALLY KILLED SOMEONE. Ryota took a deep breath, and thought he was about to move in violence, when at that precise moment the victim turned - somehow, despite the fact that he had never seen the blade - and summoned a slew of glowing discs in the air about his body, leaking tentacles of what looked like raw chakra. Ryota lowered his weapon to his side, relaxing his posture. He appeared utterly shameless, to have been discovered and looked utterly unconcerned to receive the Quixote's grim ultimatum. Breathing evenly, he re-sheathed his weapon at his back. "You know nothing of why I am here, so do not pretend that you do. But know that if I had wished to kill you, I would have done it immediately," He pointed out. "I was skeptical of your supposed powers, that's all. But noticing my weapon without seeing it with your own eyes is something. Perhaps you are more than just talk." The halos also lent to that theory. If at this point the Quixote's weapons had not dissipated, Ryota would raise an eyebrow. "I lowered my weapon," He stated pointedly. There was an unspoken implication floating in the air: your allies are few enough already, whelp. "Now, what is it that you saw?"

Venturing forward the Siren eagerly advanced towards the source of the yelling. So much emotion to feast upon it sending so many pleasure signals to the songstress' mind almost making xer shake with glee. Although, during the walk the sand shifted slightly from the wind. Most people would not consider a normal air movement to be a sign yet as a shaman xhe knew better. Light pink eyes focused upon the area attempting to find some hidden form. After a few moments of blankly staring at the barren landscape xhe slightly shrugged xer shoulders before venturing onward. Up ahead what seemed to be a carriage was quickly coming into view. Halting xer progression Peisinoe carefully observed the bickering from the travelers. Biting xer lower lip the songstress enjoyed every single emotion displayed. Frustration,fatigue, and lust were feasted upon quickly xer breathing more rasp. Although, controling some urges the seductress recompose xerself as numerous plots of using these fouls were beginning to form. Xhe was always the one to gather information for the elders and xer dear Diomad. Thinking about this xhe gently tapped xer finger tips a wicked smile forming upon the charmer's lips. Despite their wonderful display it was time to soothe the mood.

"oh, whoa ho, oh whoa" Peisinoe sang keeping xer words soft and gentle as the soothing tunes flowed through the air. Slowly approaching the group of bickering fools xer rose colored eyes stared upon them completely looking into their souls. "oh, whoa ho, oh whoa" xhe repeated this time tapping into her biological gift secreting the hormones from xer pours into the air. If they caught the scent their will would be tested if they failed it then the soothing pheromone would take affect upon them. Reacting to this alluring scent if succesful their bickering would turn into one of peaceful talking and a negotiable state. Once the mood changed it was time to progress to the next phase of the task at hand. "breath in the cooling air whooaah" while xhe seductively moved xer hips side to side in slow strides while progressing to them. Carefully the siren studied their reaction awaiting the proper opportunity to charm their leader. "o whoa, dont let bitterness dweell" keeping the same soothing tone while she continued to approach.

For all their worth as warriors, there was only one of the group that noticed the approaching gypsy, and she said nothing of it, still sitting on the shoulders of the giant. The girl was far away though, at least fifty meters away, and it was apparent that she had noticed the group. Heather said nothing though and watched with interest as she began to sing. It was cute, but the small woman was concerned that this new arrival would be a danger. A couple of hand seals later, she would vanish from sight, still sitting on the shoulders of the large man. Her hands wove a few more seals in preparation, but for the most part she was just interested in seeing what was going to happen. Geed and Helga had already fallen out of the caravan and Gregory was laughing, and they were all to distracted by each other to know what was going on, even though the singing was a fairly obvious sign that there was someone coming.

"Devil woman!" The fat little man cried as he tried to escape the wrath of the skinny blonde, whose violent admonishment did not seem to have an end in sight, but after a final, heavy kick that made the merchant on the sand whimper like a wounded dog, the blonde looked up, hearing the singing voice and questioning the source, knowing she was the only one of this stupid little troupe that could sing like this. The hyena-like laugh of the tall, lanky man in the black suit began to fade, and only his struggling breath remained as he tried to focus on the new comer as well, but he still felt quite overjoyed. Geed was in a crumpled heap on the floor, but the moment everyones eyes were drawn from him to the new arrival, he crawled like the insect he was, until he was safely behind the cart. He did not know who this person was, but it was not gallows, or ANBU, and he was very suspicious.

"I don't care who it is! Kill them!"

Orders were orders.

Helga was the first to act, and she swept her hands in front of her, the seals for her technique being completed quite quickly as winds were whipped up and three tornadoes began to form in front of her, whipping up the sand between the caravan and the approaching woman, making it impossible for either side to see what the other was doing. As the tornadoes would approach her, masked in sand, it would create a sand storm that would make visibility very poor even after the technique was over. They would not get close enough to damage anyone, since their range was limited, but it would be enough to deflect any low ranking techniques, or ruin the chance for anyone to perform sight based genjutsu, much to Heathers annoyance as she tried to figure out what she was going to do. The best bet would be to wake up Meroch and let him go crazy while her genjutsu influenced him, but she would ride it out. Gregory folded his arms and looked grumpy. This was a bit much.

[Helga used]

Fuuton: Kamikaze: (Wind Element: Divine Wind)

Rank: "B"

Skill: NinJutsu

Effect: A Powerful Wind Technique that creates powerful miniature tornadoes swirling around, picking up multiple types of debris and uses them for a powerful striking like attack.

Special: "Handseals"

Drawback: User must be in the air in order to perform this technique.

Description: The user jumps up high into the air as they perform the handseals needed. Doing so they punch out forward towards the enemy, or kicks towards the enemy(ies) as a powerful wind jutsu is performed. A great and powerful wind technique comes forth as tornado winds is produced within a radius of twenty meters. A total of four miniature tornadoes within the radius reaching a grand height of twenty meters in the air spin around violently before enclosing in creating an even more devastating tornado technique. This technique sucks up debris all around to create a more powerful attack. An example would be a fire Jutsu being performed before hand as the Tornado uses the fire as a source creating a massive fiery tornado to destroy all from within. When the four Tornadoes joined into one devastating creation the tornado forms into a grand size of ten meters radius with a larger height of thirty meters.

Limit: Must have the Wind Release

[Heather used]

Rai's eyes did not change, even if he did release the tendrils. They had only used up a minimal amount of chakra and it would hinder his plan later if he had kept it up. He looked around. He had wondered if that girl he had seen beforehand had run into the group. He did not think it would turn out well. People were wary in this desert and if she was from the Village, then he was not sure how things would turn out. He spoke to Ryota and relayed what he had seen.

"They're a party of 5. A large muscular man, a child on him, a woman and another shady looking man. On the way back, I saw another woman, who may be one of us Sunagakure-nin, is currently on course to meet the caravan. What will happen, I do not know. Given that we are outnumbered and that we may lose a potential ally in that woman, we should make plans fast."

Rai thought for a few moments before bringing his ideas to detailed fruition.

"There are several large rocks out here. They're nowhere near the size of what surrounds our village but I've taken shade there at times. If we can lure them there, I can create a trap there. Meeting them head-on would not be wise. In the confusion we can kidnap their boss and force them to retreat. I am capable of delaying multiple opponents by myself but defeating them would prove to be difficult. Do you have any ideas? Let's move as we talk."

The detective pointed in the direction of the caravan as he started to move.

ryota we are the warriors that built this town [OOC: does the drawback of the fuuton technique not state 'User must be in the air in order to perform this technique.'?] Accepting simple reason for all his faults, the Quixote let his weapons dissolve, and responded to Ryota's question. Five, plus an unknown quantity. Ryota did not trust that the 'Sunagakure woman' had not been sent against them by Gallows. So, it was either six to two, or three to five. Not favorable odds, even accounting for the fact that a couple may well have been non-combatants. Drat, Ryota thought; he was more interested in killing than entrapment or sabotage. He nodded at the man's suggestion to continue moving, and spoke a few words of his own. "Inconveniently, I am primarily a hand-to-hand combatant," He informed his partner in crime, tugging down on both his black gloves in turn, as though about to perform some surgical process. He glanced towards the Quixote. "I take it you have no qualms with killing them, if need be?" Then he turned his eyes ahead. He thought he heard the wind pick up, and the most curious sound of... singing? "At any rate, I will not be persuaded against it." At that moment, the dunes ahead leveled out; above the rise, the caravan could be seen, with most definitely artificial tornadoes swirling about it. Ryota crouched low, but thought he could see another character approaching the caravan; the woman the Quixote had spoken of? She seemed to be the source of the singing "It seems our mutual friend has already roused them," He remarked quietly, thinking that joining the fight at such an inopportune moment inadvisable. Perhaps if the Singer lured some of the guards away from the caravan, he and the Quixote could attack them from two sides. Ryota had to wonder at how powerful the Singer was; certainly she fancied herself quite strong, if she was as daring as to approach them with such audacity and such aloneness. Ryota fancied himself to be relatively powerful as well, but he was a tad more pragmatic.

Peisinoe enjoyed the stranger's reaction watching them as they put their full attention upon xer. Even though, the fat man's order made the songstress' face scrunch up into a beastly snarl. Xhe wondered how dare they interrupt a goddess while xhe blessed their travel with xer music. Also with their hostility it was making it impossible to extract information from them while most importantly acquiring some charmed worshipers. Still the critical part was they had their eyes focused upon the siren. Continuing the song xhe focused upon them noticing the girl vanish putting an mental note to be aware of that individual while the other began to form handseals while xhe advanced 5 meters. Quickly the gen master pooled chakra into xer throat and vocal cords. "whoah, o whoah, time to stay still" the siren sang xer voice full of sexual and sultry bliss directed towards the wind user as the tune carried onward infused with the genjutsu. Hopefully it was performed quick enough to interrupt the target. If this was successful the girl's actions would be halted as the words would repeatedly occur clouding the girl's thoughts and concentration. If this occurred rose colored eyes subtly directed themselves towards the caravan knowing the fat man was behind it cowering. "young man dont shake in fear instead grasp this opportunity from the sands" Peisinoe coed gently and warmly to the man tapping into one of xer biological blessed gifts. Unlike a regular tone this was filled with very pleasurable notes so inviting that it could make any man(NPC) heart lighten up while xer strides quickened slightly attempting to advancing 5 more meters allowing xer soft yet audible hums to continue the song.

During a short chain of handseals slowly xer strides became gentle as the siren's hips began to sway seductively towards the targets 40 meters away while xhe continued to advance forward. Sending out smooth sweet hums keeping the soft and sweet tune continuing across the sands. "a deal,so sweet, o just beg at my feet whooah" Peisinoe sang gently and enticingly allowing the seductively coated words slither out to them while xer hips continued to sway slowly and sexually. "embrace your guide, shamanic revelation may be the way" the siren proposed to them taking advantage of the traveler's predicament the sunlight brushing against xer pushed up cleavage visible from xer short and sleeveless brown fur cloak. All xhe had to do was lure in the fat man before the real fun could begin. Wearing a soft and seductive smile xhe remained focused upon all of the members of the group still being aware of the little girl's disappearance. Slowly and carefully the songstress continued to echo a few "whoah" between hums to keep the tune steady attempting to get closer to them yet at a slower pace than before awaiting their leader's response while the pheromones secretion remained active while attempting to advance 10 meters while xer hips and audible hums continued to sway keeping the genjutsu active.

Name: Enchanting Melody
Rank: C, B, A
Skill: Ninjutsu, Supplementary
Effect: Allows the user to use a ninjutsu or genjutsu with singing or an instrument as a medium.
Special: --
Drawback: Must be learned multiple times.
Description: This technique allows the user to use a release ninjutsu or genjutsu with their voice or instrument as a medium as opposed to hand seals. The amount of time and chakra needed to use the technique remains the same as normal, this allows only a different medium. This technique must be learned for each perception/release the user wishes to use. A C ranked releases would require C rank of this technique. A B rank release would require B rank of this technique, and so on. Which techniques of the release/perception can be used are dependent on the users skill rank in singing/instruments.

Novice - E and D rank techniques.
Average - C rank techniques.
Advanced - B rank techniques.
Expert - A rank techniques.
Master - S rank techniques.


Limit: Art of the Bard

Break Concentration
Rank: "D"
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: Helrick tried to perform his Jutsu, but there was something unexplainable distracting his thoughts, perhaps another Jutsu, performed by someone that he could not see.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: A Mind-Affecting Technique. Affects 1 creature. The user is able to perform this technique at a distance of 7 meters plus 6 meters per class level. The duration of this technique lasts for 5 rounds per class level. This technique may be negated. When this Jutsu is performed, it will distract the thoughts of a creature, to break their concentration. This Jutsu stops them from concentrating to perform that technique.
Limit: Must know the Enchantment Perception

Bewitching
Rank: "C"
Skill: Heritage Trait
Effect: A trait that allows the user to speak while manipulating the feelings of others.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: Some humans have an uncanny ability to manipulate others, often due to an alluring physical trait. When dealing with NPCs whose starting attitude toward them is not Hostile, they can choose to use this ability to temporarily improve their attitude toward those NPCs by a greater degree than normal. When speaking, treat the NPC’s starting attitude as 1 level higher than it actually is for the purpose of determining their new attitude. The NPC’s new attitude lasts only for a number of minutes equal to 2 per Class level. After that time, the attitude returns to the state it was before the user spoke. If circumstances in the interim have rendered the NPC violent or hostile (such as from being attacked by the bewitcher), the NPC’s attitude remains where it is (rather than returning to its original state). This trait replaces 1 Freebies.
Limit: Must start with Character; replaces 1 Freebies

Enthrall
Rank: "C"
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: If the user has the attention of a group of creatures, they can use this Jutsu to hold them.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: A Mind-Affecting Technique. Affects any number of creatures, no 2 of which may be more than 10 meters apart. The user is able to perform this technique at a distance of 30 meters plus 15 meters per class level. The duration of this technique lasts for 1 hour or less. This technique may be negated. Those affected give the user their undivided attention, ignoring their surroundings. They are considered to have an attitude of friendly while under the effect of the Jutsu. Any potentially affected creature of a race or religion unfriendly to the user's gets a +4 bonus on the save. A creature that is the same Class Level as the user remains aware of its surroundings and has an attitude of indifferent. It gains a save if it witnesses actions that it opposes. The effect lasts as long as the user speaks or sings, to a maximum of 1 hour. Those enthralled by the user's words take no action while they speak or sing and for 1d3 rounds thereafter while they discuss the topic or performance. Those entering the area during the performance must also successfully save or become enthralled. The speech ends (but the 1d3-round delay still applies) if the user loses concentration or do anything other than speak or sing. If those not enthralled have unfriendly or hostile attitudes toward the user, they can collectively make saves to try to end the Jutsu by jeering and heckling. The heckling ends the Jutsu if this save result beats the user's result. Only 1 such challenge is allowed per use of the Jutsu. If any member of the audience is attacked or subjected to some other overtly hostile act, the Jutsu ends and the previously enthralled members become immediately unfriendly toward the user. Each creature that is at least the same class as the user becomes hostile.
Limit: Must know the Charm Perception

[OOC: My bad, you're right, she was supposed to be in the air, I didn't read the entire technique]

The distance of the vexing vixen was great enough that the energies she poured into her first technique with her voice fell short, and Geed was welcome to hide behind the caravan and yell orders without the distraction of her beguiling words. Helga was able to leap into the air and perform her technique without hindrance due to being too hostile for the technique to affect her, and the sand storm that was whipped up was enough to block the woman from view, and to warble the song she sang, keeping them from falling under her charms. If she continued her progression towards them, then she would be caught up in the wind technique and the sandstorm, which would keep her at least twenty meters away, and she would not walk away from it easily. Unfortunately for the group of mercenaries and their cowardly leader, they were unable to see the other two who were coming to cause them harm, and were completely unaware of their presence, focusing solely on the singing enchantress.

Heather, the small Genjutsu master, who had made her way to the top of the carriage, had decided that her skills would be best utilized in combination with the giant Meroch, but she did not want to wake him, since he did not fare to well when he was woken up abruptly, and it was best to leave him alone. This meant that she was working with the two idiots who were more likely to get them killed than to do anything productive, though perhaps they could be useful. Her hands quickly formed the seals she needed, and she slammed her foot onto the top of the vehicle, drawing the eyes of her two teammates to her, which quickly changed from confused glances to enraged and maddened eyes of people who had been greatly affronted. Even as the winds were dying down, the sand was softly floating down and visibility was greatly reduced, and the tempers of all those involved had been heightened.


Heather used: Enrage on Gregory and Helga

Calm/Enrage
Rank: "B"
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: User quickly learns to alter emotions. Once a target's emotional state has been determined with "Detect Emotions, it can be manipulated.
Special: ---
Drawback: The user can only calm emotions or enrage them.
Description: A Mind-Affecting Technique. Affects anyone who sees the user. The user is able to perform this technique at a distance of 30 meters plus 15 meters per class level. The duration of this technique lasts for 5 rounds per class level. This technique may be negated once interacted with. In either case, this Jutsu requires "B" Rank worth of time in handseals to perform and does mental damage on the user (representing the strain of its use). A calmed target suffers -1 penalty to saves versus fear and Mind-Affecting effects. The only time this Jutsu offers a save is if it is used on a being with the Rage Jutsu. Then, a successful save avoids all effects. If the save fails, the target cannot rage and any rage it is currently in ends immediately. An enraged target gains +1 morale bonus to saves versus fear and Mind-Affecting Jutsus. This ability does not offer a save and, if it affects a creature with the Rage Jutsu, it immediately triggers a use of that ability (and stacks its effect with it).
Limit: Must know the Charm Perception. Must know Detect Emotion.

[OOC: Dex, I assumed the techniques you used were in order since none of them were named in your actual post, so if I was incorrect, let me know, otherwise the techniques fail due to the first being too far away, the second because the characters are hostile, and third because the Tornado technique would occur well before that one and prevent anyone from seeing you. I am so shit with anything not taijutsu related, sorry guys]

[Maō]

Rai grimaced. So it seemed that they had begun combat after all. There would no time to plan traps. When it was multiple opponents against one, they would have to move or lose their ally very fast. He noticed that the little girl was missing; no doubt she was still there but hiding herself. Rai deducted that she was most likely a long range type fighter. The woman who had performed the Fuuton also seemed to be the long ranged type. The muscular man happened to be sleeping, which the detective considered very fortunate. Rai would have preferred to sneak in but they were too far and by the time they got into range for him to affect their Souls, he would have been detected. Not to mention his ally was a close range fighter, meaning he would need to support him.

He turned to him, lying low on the sand and telling him the plan. As he did so, he went into battle mode, rendering himself immune against fear, increasing his speed and giving himself a sixth sense. Ryota might have noticed the tinge of blue aura around his partner, though the bright sun did help Rai hide it a bit.

"We do not have the luxury of sparing their lives. Hit them hard and fast. I will be your rear support. I can disable their attacks and movements so you can focus on getting in close. That is step one. Then, once I get in close enough, I will drag their lord from them. They will no doubt be distracted. Use that opening to take out one or two of them. That is step 2. Afterwards, we will see if they value their lord enough to stop attacking for them. If not, we will use him as a shield to take out another one. Then we will have the numerical advantage. Also watch out, the little girl seems to be hiding. Let's move fast while they haven't noticed us."

Rai then tensed himself to run. The moment Ryota would go, he would immediately follow after. He would not be too close, so that Ryota would not be affected by Mao's aura. But he would be range enough to execute his techniques. He started channeling his Soul power and the Y'la energies through him.

The moment Ryota would go in and they would be close enough to be detected, Rai would inflict an Apt Curse on the woman and an Oafstep curse against the shady looking man, both of whom looked like they had been angered. He channeled a great deal of energy into his curses, doubling their power. Afterwards, his final aim was the lord, who had fallen out of the cart earlier. The range of his curses was not limited to a specific range so he would wait until he was 55 meters in. After his Curses would go off, he would drag the lord back towards himself. And with the two cursed opponents, Ryota had a chance to take out one of them.

Let's hope this goes as planned.

ryota we are the warriors that built this town [OOC: heather must surely have broken invisibility because the enrage technique she used requires sight of the inciter. also keeping track of where all these npcs are standing is hard yo im probably gonna misplace one of them and get rekt haha] All of Ryota's targets were still having their attention diverted towards the Singer; ostensibly, they did not even know they were fighting more than a single enemy. That was greatly to the advantage of Ryota and his ally. Sand was sailing about everywhere in tendrils, obscuring the carriage and its guardians, who were unfortunately still in close proximity with it - though they were still visible enough. Ryota was prepared to spring; he was grimacing in their quarries' general direction. He could hear two voices; the Quixote, and November goading him internally. C'mooooooooooooooooooooooooooonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn... "We do not have the luxury of sparing their lives. Hit them hard and fast. I will be your rear support. I can disable their attacks and movements so you can focus on getting in close. That is step one." C'monc'monc'monC'MONC'MONC'MONC'MON! A snarl passed over Ryota's lips. "Then, once I get in close enough, I will drag their lord from them. They will no doubt be distracted. Use that opening to take out one or two of them. That is step two." ONLY THE ONE WITNESS, MAYBE TWO, I'LL KILL ALL O' THE REST; WHO'LL TATTLE?! WE GOOD, MAN. I GET THE JOB DONE. LEMME OUUUUUUUUUT FOR ONCE. LemmelemmelemmeLEMMEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! "Afterwards, we will see if they value their lord enough to stop attacking for them. If not, we will use him as a shield to take out another one. Then we will have the numerical advantage. Also watch out, the little girl seems to be hiding. Let's move fast while they haven't noticed us." Ryota's head turned slowly towards the Quixote. For one frozen moment, it was expressionless; then he surrendered. The grin of a devil tore up his face, splaying his oddly jagged teeth, his green eyes becoming beacons of mania. "Allllrighty!" He consented, his foreign accent - normally nigh undetectable - thickening severely. He sounded more revelrous than understanding [NOVEMBER identity: +1 to Saves, +10 to Damage]. Without another moment's hesitation, he spun from his crouching position and sped into a lurching run, sniggering to himself as he closed in rapidly on the SACKS OF FLESH guarding the WANTED THING. His limbs went everywhere as he sprinted; this was not the dignified creature of Ryota at all. It was something entirely different. There was a lanky one on the ground, looking up towards a scrawny little girl on top of the carriage. He was November's first VICTIM. "Diediediediediedie..." He whispered to himself, so as not to rouse his PUNCHING BAGS before absolutely necessary, but he could not help but raise the volume on his mutterings, till they became full on yelling a moment before impact. "DiediediediedIEDIEDIEDIEDIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!" The audible yell would ring out as he reached KILLING range, November planted his left foot and immediately raised a swift round kick towards the VICTIM'S chest with all of November's enhanced strength, which Ryota's body secretly contained and gained access to whenever he STOPPED BEING A FUCKING PUSSY. SPOILER: Click to show Krav Maga Fighter Mentality Rank: "D", "C", "B", "A", "S" Skill: Supplementary Effect: By fighting on and on, a Krav Maga Fighter becomes more proficient when an attack may come by. This happens usually when the Krav Maga Fighter becomes unable to see the attack. However by being in combat for so much they can feel when an attack is coming making them less able to be flanked. Special: --- Drawback: The user may only learn this technique by the class that they are. This means that in order to learn the "C" Rank version they must be "C" Class, if they wish to learn the "B" Rank version they must be "B" Class. Description: A technique where the subconscious mind, where the subconscious body reacts just as they are attacked while flanked or while their back is turn. The body reacts in such a way to where they are capable of withstanding so much. This technique makes it where the Krav Maga Fighter is incapable of being surprised attacked, a sudden second sense kicks in as their body screams out to them yelling at them telling them to move, duck, dodge or anything else within that manner. This works on whenever they are being attacked. This technique however has a major flaw. The user is capable of dodging only whenever the opponent's class is equal or lower to that of the rank of the technique they know. This means that a "D" Class user that knows this technique cannot use this against an opponent that is "C" Class or higher. Limit: Must learn from a Master of Krav Maga. Round Kick Rank: "C" Skill: TaiJutsu Effect: A round kick is essentially, a front kick that "rolls over" at the last minute. Special: --- Drawback: --- Description: Like the regular front kick, the round kick uses your instep or shin as the striking surface. In a more advanced version, you make contact with the ball of your foot. Round kick can be made to the side of an opponent's knee joint, thigh, ribs, or even head, although we do not emphasize high kicks in Krav Maga. Starting Position Left-Leg Forward fighting stance. Swing your right leg forward bending your knee. Roll your hip over. Snap out your foot while pivoting quickly on your left foot. Strike with your shin. When you make contact your knee should still be slightly bent. This lets the motion penetrate the target, and also protects the knees against hyperextension. Recoil. You should be able to land forward with control, or behind your foot back into a fighting stance. Tips To deliver the kick with power, be sure your left (base) foot is "deeper" than the target, allowing the kicking leg to drive through. Also for more power, you may step diagonally and pivot your left foot before sending the kick. Though this adds power, it is more detectable. Variation It is possible to strike with the top of the foot or ball of the foot. Depending on the user's strength depends on the strength of the attack. "D" Class - No added strength within the attack. "C" Class - User is able to launch an opponent up 2 meter in the distance. "B" Class - User is able to launch an opponent up 4 meter in the distance. "A" Class - User is able to launch an opponent up 8 meter in the distance. "S" Class - User is able to launch an opponent up 16 meter in the distance. Limit: Must learn from a Master of Krav Maga. Must know the Fundamentals in Level 1 - Yellow Belt.

[Umbrella-ella-ella-eh-eh-eh]

Maybe it was pure luck or xhe was out of practice yet all of xer enchanting notes were not affecting them. Snarling in a clearly annoyed frown upon xer face the songstress saw the approaching wind respectively rapidly jumping back a few times retreating 5 meters. Seeing in no point of continuing to sneak in a few genjutsu during xer song Peisinoe halted xer song. Silently the siren observed onward trying to figure out what to do. All xhe had to do was touch one of them for xer enchantments to become active yet the wind user made it impossible to approach. Also let alone there was no way to calm the mood as well. Sighing in annoyance all xhe desired was to extract information from them to use as a tool to have Diomad do a few favors. Also having a couple of rich worshipers would have been a nice bonus as well. It was about time to retreat seeing that xhe could not get close to them rendering xer pheromones useless having a gap of 45 meters making it unlikely to change. However, out of the corner of xer eye xhe noticed the two other shinobi. One of them was charging onward while the other began to form handseals. Peisinoe recognized one from the gates yet not the other one.

Pondering about this xhe gently bit xer bottom lip as a plan began to form. Maybe if they proved to be useful they could be worshiper material after their assistance. Also the goliath was still asleep which was another good sign with many benefits. One of them was this personw as not awake so sneaking in a charm jutsu was the best action. However, for now if they could get the fat man away from the others the witch could do some very fun things to that fool. For now it was time to prevent another issue from occuring. Quickly the songstress chained together a moderate size of handseals before projecting xer chakra onward. Quickly it surged towards the sleeping goliath seeping into his system and into his thoughts and emotions. If this jutsu was successful whenever he awoke he would view the siren as a very trusted friend which was being attacked at the moment. Also due to him being asleep throughout the whole thing he would not be aware of any previous action."to delight a lady in need, thou mortals bring the gluttonous man over to my awaiting grasp" the songstress coeed to them giving a wink and blowing a soft kiss. Just hopefully these two could close the gap between the target and the siren's very eager claws. However, if that could not be done retreating was becoming a better option by the second. Considering two of the enemies seemed to lose control allowing anger to seep from their souls.

"Also avoid targeting the sleeping Goliath im positive he dont want his mistress' allies being the one to assault him" the genjutsu master mentioned to the boys as they went on with their attack. Xhe did not know when xer possibly charmed companion would wake up. When he did the siren desired to make it look like xhe was the one being wrongfully assaulted by these people.

Eternal Charm
Rank: "B"
Skill: GenJutsu
Effect: User charms the target, convincing them that the user is a good friend and trusted ally.
Special: "Handseals"
Drawback: ---
Description: A Mind-Affecting Technique. Affects 1 creature. The user is able to perform this technique at a distance of 30 meters plus 15 meters per class level. The duration of this technique lasts for 5 hours per class level. This technique may be negated. If the target is currently being threatened or attacked by the user or their allies, however, they receive a +5 bonus on their save. The Jutsu does not enable the user to control the charmed creature as if it were an automaton, but the target perceives the user's words and actions in the most favorable way. The user can try to give the target orders, but has to try and convince it to do anything one wouldn’t ordinarily do. A charmed creature never obeys suicidal or obviously harmful orders. Any act by the user or their apparent allies that threaten the charmed creature breaks the Jutsu. Note also that the user must speak the creature’s language to communicate commands, or else be good at pantomiming. Once affected, it does not matter how far the target moves from the user.
