Kuroki approached the shore closest to where the ship holding the hostages was right off shore. No one from his village had yet taken his offer to team up, but that didn't surprise him with Roar being off on mission. The ship will be a ghost ship tonight, the night deepen as a chill grew from the ocean breeze. It was the darkest night in awhile with a new moon in the sky. The stars covered by clouds, it looks like it will rain soon. It was almost pitch black in the surrounding area. Only the far off lights of the ship itself is fully visible.

Wraithfire came fully prepared for this mission, his six foot one frame a huge dark hole in the night. He wore a bandolier crossed over his chest and in it contained a bundle of wire, a bundle of fine silk rope, six yo-yo's, a lighter, a package of cigars, a walkie talkie, a eight inch flash light, ten glass cutters, twenty pieces of flint, thirty bo shuriken, and thirty Hira shuriken. He also wore a darken leg holster with a four of kunai and a pair of knives. Hidden in the extra pockets of his coat was sixteen caltrops and an extra pair of knives. His face was recessed in the hood of his coat, but what could be seen was a weird three quarters mask that covered all but a corner of his face. In that corner he had an un-smoked cigar hanging. His hands were covered in dark reinforced fingerless gloves, they could almost be called gauntlets with the studded knuckles. Each knuckle had a metal skull for a stud. You couldn't see most of his equipment hidden in his pouches.

It was his usual wear that The Spectre of Taki had. Dark trench coat without sleeves, and a dark shirt the same. Heavy boots with dark pants, were all normal for this fright of the night. His bone muscle arms pale against the weak light. His eyes had a low glow as he activated various abilities of his. Not that anyone could see this unless they were right on him. As he did this a low fog began to rise from the cove in which this was taking place. The ship was a simple affair that was anchored off the coast, sure of it's safety.

Kuroki was as usual in his incorporeal body, and he messed with his own system enough to be near invisible. Shadows clung to his body but even as that happen the parts not covered reflected the area around him. His temperature was kept at a regulated pace by his soul. His eyes could see through the veil and allowed him a sight beyond normal, light was enhanced and invisible was no such. He saw the very energies of the planes interacting. His aura became enhanced with semi solid shadow-stuff.

This was the Spectre that people feared. The one who turned invisible at will and could make one's own environment the enemy. He controlled his surroundings with a subtlety that few matched. His signature was the signs of being cursed and haunted, but who to say they were not that already. Only his village knows the extent of his abilities or anything really. Outside the village he just is good at fog and can speak Necril.

ASSUMING CONTROL!!!! 
(Gming with approval from Setsy and Tech) 

Tonight was a night of total darkness. Here on the inky black seas, in the darkness of night and the cover of fog, a lone ship crawled across the horizon. The ship seemed to move without vertical motion as it traveled without so much as bob on the dark waters. The ship was pale and green against the sea, seeming to somehow emanate it's own eerie lime green light from its ghostly visage. Every now and then, the sounds of rattling chains and creaking wood would call across the dark mire of the shore. 

The vessel would continue its movement across the shoreline in an effort to prevent onlookers from tracking its movement. From all observable angles the vessel would appear to be moving of its own accord. All across the wooded mezzanine signs of obvious deterioration littered the deck. The sails were tattered and torn, the bright white cotton sails now a dingy brown, caked in salt and brine. Lanterns hung around the ship with various levels of fuel inside of them yet none of them lit. 

Yet what was more concerning was the hundreds of arrows broken and rusted that covered the deck all the way up to the forecastle. Among the signs of battle lay the remains of the crew. Skeletons incomplete and whole covered the deck lying across the filthy deck. Their sun bleached bones still clutching their scabbards and rusted swords. Many of them riddled with arrows or impaled by spears. But perhaps the most unsettling thing was the sobbing of a lone woman down in the holding cell of the deck. Her voice carrying unusually loud across the water. 

The ship would soon be leaving this destination. If our hero didn't move soon the ship would move out of his reach withing two rounds. 

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

Kuroki noting the ship's movement took but a second to blink in and out of existence. One second he was on the shoreline, the next he was standing a few inches above the water right next to the ship. Now this was to be as stealthy as possible at the moment, confrontation might endanger the hostage. He needed her unharmed especially since she was the lord's youngest daughter. By narrowing down where the crying was coming from, he slipped into the ship quietly and carefully by phasing right through the hull of the ship.

As he did this the mist around the ship grew so think, sight was almost impossible. Only the very keenest of even special eyes would be able to see anything. The mist was filled with chakra so even the vaunted sight of the Hyuuga would be blind in such a fog. Not a sound was made by this Spectre of the Taki.

Kuroki checked to make sure the passage was clear before even going in each time. Walls meant little to this ghost of a man. Unnerved he was not about the condition of this ship. It actually felt like home to him, he felt a sense of belonging with such a haunted locale. But with it being such he was prepared for more than living opponents. He hoped he was in time for the hostage.

Little by little he crept through the walls and passages of the ship until he found the girl he was looking for. Not bringing attention to himself was key to his entire plan. It wasn't his only plan but it was the one that would have the best results.

At the end of the dark passageway was the only door that was ajar. There were three doors along the hallway as well. As the Shinobi moved he would no doubt notice the signs of battle and resistance from inside the ships halls. Skeletons littered the floor of the passageways and claw marks along the walls. There in the room was a woman in a silk kimono. Her back was turned towards the doorway and she had her head down in her lap crying. As she cried she seemed to rock back and forwards in place. Her hair dirty and her garments filthy from her time aboard the ship. She appeared to be in a state of panic and wouldn't respond to any audible responses.

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

Kuroki compared the woman to the appearance of the Lord's youngest daughter. If it matched he would smile under his mask. Now the tricky part, for she was in a state of panic. He could rush out, or he could clear the decks. Taking his head back from the prison cell room, he stuck his head into the next nearest room. He was wondering where all the guards are. Even if the pirate liked to appear as a ghost ship he should have at least a few crew to handle things. Something was very wrong here.

It was time to prepare and maybe take out whoever was running this ghost ship. With a few adept hand seals, Kuroki summoned up his signature jutsu. A phalanx of ghostly swordsmen appeared to phase right through walls. They were as incorporeal as he. With a wave of a hand and a mental command to cleanse the place of crew but leave prisoners alone. He sent them in twos to make quick work of the place.

The swordsmen made of shadow stuff had the appearance of the long dead. There were pits for eyes inside the helm. These were no shinobi with a sword but a true vision of a swordsman from some lord's army. These creatures could have been some sort of elite heavy guard. It was a true sentinel from a time long past as far as it looked anyways.

Silvery sheen swords that looked so battered and decrepit in their hands. They could have come from a hundred or more years ago in the ground. Their armor were ancient battered pieces that had a symbol and slogan on them. This was the Spectre of Taki's private army. The symbol was revealed to have a Skull on black fire in the fore ground. The skull had a face of death in appearances. The slogan read "Nemo me impune lacessit", It's meaning though was "No one "cuts" (attacks/assails) me with impunity".

Once his legion was ready to take out the opposition, It was time to observe what he could. He made sure at least four of his forty Spectral Swordsmen guarded the door to the Lord's daughter's prison. It was time to find some intelligence on the enemy at last.

Though Spectre sent his two ghostly guards through the ship they would find nothing but the remnants of old battles and the corpses of fallen sailors. While some of the signs of conflict were recent there would be know way for our hero to know unless he examined them closer. The princess stopped her sobbing and would simply rock back and forth his her head down in her lap. In the corner of the room sat a pile of shattered bones. 

There were many things in the room to examine, based on our heero's observation he might perhaps notice the bite marks on some of the bones in the corner. The thick layers of dust that seemed to coat everything in the room seemed to suggest nothing had moved in the room or along the floor a long while. Along the wall leading to the bottom of the deck was a pool of dried blood that could be properly dated and identified with the appropriate skill.

However more information could potentially be gathered from questioning or closer examining the woman in the Kimono. 

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

Kuroki took a closer look at the bones in the corner to see what kind of bite marks they were. If they were animal they were outside his experience but if it was humanoid he could identify if it was Ghoul or some other foul creature of un-life. But the fact only the woman was alive and no crew nor captain has been seen is disturbing. He mentally shrugged though for his mission was simple. With the phalanx to guard them, he fully walked into the prison room. He keep to the shadows as not to startle the woman to bad. " You Kiera?"

[Deleted]

At the sound of the mans voice the woman suddenly stopped rocking back and forth. Her head still down and tucked into her lap. But there was no longer any of the signs of distress that there was before. Rather an eerie stillness seemed to have come over her as she seemed to have even stopped breathing. Something was clearly wrong with her, perhaps she was injured? There was something strange that changed in the air. The ship itself seemed to come to a stop.
The woman was still unresponsive.

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

Kuroki knowing not what was happening prepared for the worse, luckily outside of his speech not a sound could heard from him. And the fact that he was near invisible in the first place meant that he had some measure of protection. With a quick slip he loosed his wire thread on his primary hand. He sort of waited with baited breath for a response, he did not like having to even speak much. He was a creature of shadows that hunted deeper shadows not a person that dealt with these kinds of situations.

But his Shadow Phalanx all readied themselves for danger. They filled the hallway and were posted around doors and near bones just in case. So forty some odd spectral Guardsmen on duty.  One of the phalanx went through the bars at Wraithfire's direction to see what would happen if someone was standing in front of the woman. He did modify how that one looked to look a little more alive.

[Deleted]

As the ghost soldier moved over to the woman she remained unresponsive with her head down in her lap. But as the soldier moved through the iron bars the gate to the cell seemed to eerily swing open of its own accord. As the rusted iron gate groaned open it cut the heavy silence in the room. Then all at once all the lanterns on the ship seemed to come alive at once. Suddenly there was an creaking and groaning of bones rattling and coming together as skeletons from all over the ship started to reassemble themselves. Grabbing their rusted weapons and still riddled with arrows the skeletons started to shamble their way to the lower deck and through the hall ways. 

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

Kuroki silently cursed his luck. Not the first time his luck had been bad, and probably won't be the last. He looked at his Y'la who kind of shrugged at him. It pretty much meant this bad luck was all him this time. But it wasn't time for reflection but action. His Shadow Spetres immediately responded to the chakra signals that told them to attack the skeletons. Even the shadow one in the cage immediately rushed out to join the battle.

Wraithfire himself moved into the prison cell for hiding fully wouldn't do much against life sensors like Skeletons. He readied himself for any of the skeletons to come into the room. And he spoke up once more to the woman. "Kiera?I suggest you get yourself together if you want to see your father again." As he spoke he was doing calculations for numbers and probability for winning.

The lady just laid there without moving. She clearly was still unresponsive and not moving. The entire ship had seemed to have suddenly come alive. Guard per Guard the ninja's soldiers seemed to have the advantage as they would knock the skeletons to the floor. But the Skeletons seemed unending. What was worse was that every time a skeleton was knocked to the ground or was shattered apart it would simply crawl itself back together. The numbers were going to be too much for the soldiers to defend themselves. 

Anyone with the appropriate knowledge of necromantic lore would understand that the skeletons were being reanimated by another user's chakra source. 

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

It was time for another trick Kuroki thought. So a real necromancer, this kind of profane use of soul magic must end. His eternal mandate was to stop such unholy works. Wraithfire only borrowed the appearances of the dead, this user used their actual corpses. Well two things happened then. The first was the spectral swordsmen started, knocking bones out into the water whenever they could. That should at a minimum slow the regeneration process, but could make it where they wouldn't come back as the distance would be further.

The second was a series of hand seals that made thirteen bonafide flaming spirit like creations. The Hitodama looked so real that it would even be attracted by undead. What little brains undead have would feel the comfort of them. Suddenly they started to flow down the corridors after the nearest warm-bodied people they could find. Only at his direction they would not come to the cage and his hostage that he was suppose to be rescuing.

The Hitodama of the Spectre of Taki would burn to a crisp any skeleton unlucky enough to get in their way. Thirteen balls of bad luck for those that faced one of the rumored monsters of Takigakure. He was feared even in his own village for he knew how to play with the elements to create an army like no other. His specialty was making an army.

If they come into contact with something inanimate (A tree, a rock, etc.) they will simply disappear.
Limit: Fire release. Must know O Ni Bi En (Will-o-the Wisp Circle).

The skeletons met the wall of flames and burned as they came into contact with the flames. Whatever supernatural powers were observing the fight pulled the skeletons back from the flames. Those that feel victim to the fire collapsed to the floor burning as they crawled and were cut down by the jutsu. Four of the skeletons on the other side of the ghost flame raised rusty crossbows and were taking aim to fire at the cell room. 

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

Kuroki let out a hiss of annoyance that sounded like brimstone on water as he spotted the crossbowmen skeletons. So this necromancer has sight of them. He is either scrying or is very close by. In the second option his floating balls of fire should be headed right for him attracted to his warm bloodedness. But Kuroki had to hold out long enough for the necromancer to get burned by the Hitobama. It was time to stop play time.

With a throw of his arm a ball of fire launched toward the crossbow skeletons. The little ball of fire did nothing until it was in the center of them and then it was triggered. Burning all four in a blaze of ghostly pale flame. His fire had the looks of spirits. And if that wasn't enough he whipped out his other hang sending a bundle of wire at the lead skeleton entagling him. Then used that skeleton as a weapon to bash into the others.

Knowing now that he was under active observation, Kuroki smiled. The sound of the crypt opening came from his mouth. "Necromancer, your playing with Death. " And then a full throated chortle issued from him. He was having fun, and his eyes luminated, flashing brightly from within the hood of his coat.

When someone other than the user, or something with higher than normal body temperature, comes within a foot of the ball it rapidly heats up and expands outwards for two meters, burning whatever is caught within it.

Riko hummed to herself as she flew overhead. The location of the ship was even to find as she stalked it from the sky with a sling staff in hand. Her two butt bags one filled with a slot of marbles and the other filled with a slot of burrowing greater bullets. 10 bullets of grape shot in one of her jacket pockets and the other 10 in the second pocket. Her headband embedded in to her sleeve Riko wore her typical attire. As she continued to follow after the ship a sudden mist grew around it making her pout like a child." Damn misty mist stuff!." She yelled before dropping down towards where she last saw the mist.

When Riko was near the water she would fly just above it flying forward until she was close enough to see the side of the ship. Upon finding the ship if she did Riko would rise up and fly up the side of the ship and slowly land leaving her wings out. Riko would put her hand up and look around the ship for anyone or something suspcious.

Once all symbols light up the chakra spreads to the circle itself, and when the blood becomes green it begins to wrap around the recipient and baby bird. Once this occurs the medic steps in and plucks a feather from the baby bird, placing it between the recipient's shoulder blades.

Once inside the body the chakra laced blood begins to flow about, causing immense pain, which the medic alleviates with the Healing Hands jutsu as the bones are hollowed out.

Type: Main, Marksman, Sling, Staff
Effect: A very large slingshot that has a strong pair of rubber bands attached to a V-shaped handle that releases sling bullets.
Special: ---
Drawback: ---
Description: A Tier 1 Bow. A simple invention of a sling attached to the end of a 5 to 6 foot pole, this weapon greatly advances the use of sling bullets. By using the pole's own length to greatly increase the momentum of the bullet's launched, the projectiles can reach the weapon at frightening speeds and range, causing great damage upon impact. Since this sling is attached to a 4 to 6 foot pole, the pole may be used as a Polearm, and all Polearm techniques may be used with this weapon. Due to the size, a Staff Sling is too unwieldy to use while performing Mounted Combat. The Range Increment of this Staff Sling is 35 meters.

Tech:

One of the bolts that was burned by the crossbow cracked under the heat of the phantom flame. Causing a stray bolt to go flying off into a kerosene lantern. The lantern hit the ground and the pungent oil was instantly set ablaze on the wooden deck. The fire was small for now but given a few turns this whole ship might go up in flames!! The Skeletons backed away slowly from the phantom fire and started to grab the lanterns off the wall and hurl them at cell room!

Ryko: 

The deck is mostly barren though obvious signs of battle where everywhere.  Hundreds of arrows broken and rusted that covered the deck all the way up to the forecastle. Among the signs of battle lay the remains of the crew. Skeletons incomplete and whole covered the deck lying across the filthy deck. Their sun bleached bones still clutching their scabbards and rusted swords. Many of them riddled with arrows or impaled by spears. The deck was ominous and quiet. 

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

Kuroki gathered his chakra and spiritual energy into himself and his eyes brighten even further. He was a phantom in the night with the eyes of a demon. With a breath and a few hand seals a wave of mist flowed from his fingertips. This was a modification of the fog that enveloped the ship. The water in the air dampened fire and moistened the wood around them. It made it much harder to burn and the little fire that was there would start to die. With its fuel soaked in short order it would make fire harder to catch. Not that was a problem to this master of the arcane.

He directed a couple of the swordsmen to put out the flames while the rest continued the battle. "Enough." His fire balls still floating from before should be close to the Necromancer either way he needed more space to work. With a deft movement he grabbed the lords daughter and then their was an pop as the air rushed in to feel the void. Suddenly they both were on the top deck, actually above the top deck in the crows nest. This would give them an advantage. His Spectres flowed to the deck ignoring limitations of physical barriers.

The top deck soon became a mess of battle. It was not a silent battle but quieter than any where humans were usually involved. The clash of swords could be heard but no shouting or screaming. The rattle of bones and the woosh of displaced air but no breathing. This was the battle of the supernatural. Here Wraithfire was an artist, because from his view he could direct better tactics. He could use advanced army techniques of his spectres of working together. It turned from a bunch of individual battles in a hallway, to a army on army war. The unlucky would get to close to him as those skeletons that tired to climb the rigging would find themselves entangled then thrown overboard.

Hag, Sea
Rank: "C"
Type: Very Rare, Medium, Undead
Effect: A weaker variant of the Green Hag who normally reside in the swamp or coastal regions.
Special: Preparation: —; Duration: —
Drawback: ---
Description: Also known as Seaweed Sorceress. These freshwater flesh-eaters are related to both the Black Annis and the Nighthag. In their true form, they appear vaguely female with wrinkled, green skin covered with warts, black to green hair and bright amber eyes. They dress in peasant rags. Like the Lacedon Ghouls and swamp bints with whom they often share hunting grounds, dwell near shallow streams, rivers, and wetlands. Though bulky, they are excellent swimmers. They can even swim through thick mud with astonishing agility, surfacing beside their victims to attack them with their sickle-shaped claws. They are also able to form this mud into balls, which they toss to temporarily blind opponents. All Sea Hags can know the following Jutsus: Ghost Sound, Dancing Lights, Invisibility, Transformation. They can move silently and hide in foliage 90% of the time (especially underwater). Sea Hags will first attempt to grab a shipboard victim and slip beneath the ocean waves. The Sea Hag is wily and deceptive, and will destroy and eat her captors at the first opportunity. Their claws deal 11 Armour Points of Damage. They have an ability called Evil Eye. 3 times per day, a sea hag can perform their dire gaze upon any single creature within 10 meters. The target must succeed on a 14 Will save or be staggered as strange nebulous distress and a gnawing sense of impending doom plagues the victim. If a sea hag uses her evil eye on someone already afflicted by this curse, the victim must make a 14 Fortitude save or be overwhelmed with fright and collapse into a comatose state for 3 days. Each day that passes, the comatose victim must make a 14 Fortitude save or perish. The evil eye is a mind-affecting fear effect. All Hags are discerning flesh-eaters and prefer the flesh of humans, the younger and more innocent the better. Green Hags have been known to serve Black Annises or Nighthags, but are usually loners. Sea Hags avoid direct contact with people but lurk near coastal villages where they can find young sailors to devour in the dark. Hags are thought to be human who engaged in cannibalism and/or black chakra during their lives. Nefarions have been known to use them as agents to acquire souls. Evil Sages have been known to consort with Hags to take "short cuts" in learning the secrets of dark chakra.
