The Tomb in the Marshes (Mission/ Open)

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

Kuroki was a shadowy man but took his job seriously. He was his usually equipped self with that bandolier of his. 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.

He stood outside the village ready for travel to the catacombs that were mentioned in an ancient Necril tome. In his pockets in his trench coat he also carried two large tomes. The Legions of the Dead and the Grimoire Mortalitas were the books of his chosen trade. He returned to this place that fell a fellow shinobi to try again at his hand of collecting on the bounty on Undead specimens. Outside with him this time was a cart to haul the dead bodies.

He was more lich than human anymore. The undead did not frighten him in the least and they should be afraid of him. Into the darkness he entered once more with just the light of his pale fire as light for his sight. He activated a whole series of jutsus to make the shadows attach to him and to enhance his sight. He even controlled his body and his stride with his soul.

In addition, the umbral aura provides the subject a +20 to Stealth checks. The umbral aura does not interfere with the subject's sight. If an opponent attacks with a melee weapon and misses their Will Save by 2 or more, the umbral aura is hit instead and takes damage from the Jutsu used in the attack. Area of effect Jutsus also damage the aura, but as long as the subject fails their Save by more than 1 the aura only takes half/damage.

Zombie, Common
Rank: ""
Type: Very Rare, Medium, Undead
Effect: The common zombie normally created through Necromancy.
Special: Preparation: —; Duration: —
Drawback: ---
Description: Also known as Walking Dead. Zombies are the animate corpses of the dead. It is readily apparently to anyone that sees a Zombie that it is dead or at least very ill. Zombies continue to bear wounds that killed them and are often missing arms, eyes, feet, internal organs and chunks of flesh. Flies swarm around Zombies and anyone without olfactory difficulties can detect their stink at 15 meters. Common Zombies are created from Necromancers. They look like the rotting corpses of the Dead. Zombies wear whatever remnants of clothes and armour they had in life, though it tends to take on a rotting appearance almost immediately. Unless otherwise noted, Zombies attack by swarming over opponents and clawing them. They move slowly and anyone that is unencumbered can outrun them unless they are trapped or have a really slow movement rate. Zombies always attack last in any melee round dealing 8 Armour Points of Damage with their slam attack. A vial of holy water that splashes against a Zombie inflicts 8 Armour Points of Damage. Zombies always move in a straight line toward opponents regardless of what lies in their path. These Zombies are mindless and they obey any command, no matter how stupid or suicidal (from their creator). Those who create Zombies must give them simple commands (less than a dozen words) or else the Zombie will stand there like a corpse. If left to their own devices Zombies will attack anyone who happens by. Zombies are not part of nature. If the flesh of a Zombie rots away, it will continue to function as a Skeleton.

Into the Tomb Kuroki descended. Here was rumored to be a necromancer's den. Necromancers being the despised creators of Zombies. Zombies were the created raised undead with limited intelligence but easily made. Necromancers use them as servants and for cannon fodder generally. Spectre was here to stop him, it wasn't the same as hunting the incorporeal dead but it was still a hunt that needed to happen. Besides the Tomb wasn't to far from the village, these dark people shouldn't set up in his mists.

[Deleted]

you find nothing.

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

Deeper into the decrepit tomb Kuroki descended ever more. He knew he was in the right place but the system was a warren of hiding places. He was using all his senses both natural and spiritual to find the links he needed. His soul felt out for the souls of the lost that still had connection to this place. That or of the necromancer that had been summoning him. So deeper into the warren Kuroki went.

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

The warren of this tomb or more like crypt was murky and muddy with the marsh. The Marsh above dripped through him in places. Walls and passageways were nothing to this ghostly man in this abandoned place. He knew the den was somewhere here but where was unknown. He did look at individual resting places to see if anything worth having was there. He wasn't above grave robbing from this unknown tomb.

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

Kuroki was a special sort of Venator who hunted the dead. His specialty was the ghostly dead but any un-living got his attention. At least the evil dead did. Most of the un-living was of that sort but not all to his knowledge. He was mostly that way himself anymore. He thought himself a still living person at least that had a second life to live. But that was semantics at this point for him.

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

Kuroki searched the tomb finding the ancient dead more often than most. But his search must not end in failure. His sources all pointed to somewhere in this forgotten tomb was the necromancer's horde. How much of a horde he had created is unknown. But this tomb of some forgotten battle long ago is a perfect place for such a being. Here that being will learn their mistake.

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

It was a dark and quiet place this tomb was and he blended in just fine. He looked more skeletal than some of the remains in this place. Only his movement divided him from them. Some of these passages were heavy with wet dust. It has ben a long time before someone has been in some parts of this tomb. Only his little pale fire spirit that travels a ways in front of him gave light.

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

The Dank dark was unbroken by any sound so far. Even the slightest sound would give away a position one would think. For the Incorporeal Kuroki made no sound the living or dead could hear. Not his breathing, not anything. But it helped him in his search for the living dead that travel these halls. Somewhere in this treacherous place is a black hearted person with darker desires.

nothing on 6 attempts. 

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

The quiet tomb was just that quiet. Deeper he must delve into this foreboding place to fine the monsters he seeks. This was not an official sanctioned hit of the village. No this was a geas of his new life to hunt the evil dead. And he hunted them with determination. With that in mind he descended deeper into the warren. Now onto a deeper level of this maze. Here it was dryer and more fit for humans.

There in the depths of the catacombs in utter darkness was the shambling corpse of a zombie. It was moving its rotting flesh over the stone. The monstrous hunk of flesh was roughly 7 feet tall and weighed 240 pounds of thick calcified muscle and skin. It moved about the cavernous room looking for its next meal. With all senses of its memory totally gone it had shambled through this very catacombs for years simply looking for the next exit.  

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

Spectre cracked a smile seeing the beefed up Zombie. This was an excellent specimen to bring back to the experimenters in Taki. As soon as he was spotted the Zombie at the other end of the cavernous room thirty meters away. Kuroki weaved his first spell from the shadows he hid in. Suddenly a phalanx of spectral shadow swordsmen began to burst through the ground. They appeared in the space between them. Forty some odd heavily armored and armed fighters with the looks of undead as well appeared for battle.

They immediately charged the Monstrous zombie of powerful proportions.  While forty ghostly shadows attacked and attempted to dismember the Zombie the ghost man summoned even more help. Kuroki stayed hidden letting the wisp of a ghostly flame float high over the battle providing inconsistent light over the field of battle. The help he had summoned shed more light on the Zombie though.

Thirteen dancing balls of dancing ghost fire spun around the mindless dead.  Those fire dancers were thirty meters away and did not provide much light to reach his shadowy end. Which seemed to be drenched in heavy shadow either way.

This protective aura grants the subject the following benefits: While under the affects of the umbral aura, the subject of the Jutsu acts as if he is 1/4th cover (due to the quasi real nature of the aura) and is considered to be under 1/4th concealment (10% miss chance). In addition, the umbral aura provides the subject a +20 to Stealth checks. The umbral aura does not interfere with the subject's sight. If an opponent attacks with a melee weapon and misses their Will Save by 2 or more, the umbral aura is hit instead and takes damage from the Jutsu used in the attack.

The mindless monster looked at the skeletal warriors as the blades of the spears simply glanced off of its thick body. The zombie took literally no damage from the weak attacks that glanced off of its thick skin. The zombie groaned and swing his arms around with tremendous strength destroying both of the two phalanx guards with a simple swing of its massive arms. The mindless zombie literally didn't even notice the random genjutsu that was being applied to it as it had no effect on him. 

The monster continued to search around in the room looking for his opponent. 

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

Spectre raised an eyebrow as his usual tactic was in effective even after a power boost. He simply mentally directed for the phalanx to slow down the zombie and keep him in the circle of fire. There wasn't much else they could be used for but the fire now there is a idea. With a series of hand seals a ghost light appeared in front of the Zombies and then suddenly became very hot expanding.

Gōsuto-kō Odoroki (Ghost-light Surprise)
Rank: C
Skill: Ninjutsu
Effect: Creates a stationary ball of dull flame that, when approached by anyone but the user, rapidly heats up and expands.
Special: Handseals
Drawback: ---
Description: The User makes the handseals and creates a small ball of flame in the air in front of them. The flame doesn't give off much heat at all and is not as hot as other fire, being exactly normal body temperature. The flame is stationary and floats in the air a couple of feet off of the ground, bouncing in place, appearing harmless. 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.
Limit: Fire release. Must know Gōsuto Hikari (Ghost-light).

The zombie was annoyed to say the least at the hot fire that was around it. It really wasn't doing anything close to fatal damage. He groaned in annoyance at the heat of the fire but walked right through the flames. It's natural armor absorbing about a 1/3rd of the damage a typical zombie would have received. The ghost soldiers attempt to slow the creature down were absolutely useless. The zombie gave another powerful swat with his arms and sent the images scattering. It didn't like the fire so it simply walked away. 

---

Damage done 30 ap. 
Natural armor 10

---

damage done. 20. 

Ap remaining. 280. 

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

Kuroki grunted and shook his head. He had three options living it alone, which he read as not an option as it was clearly dangerous. He could do a little damage at a time slowly exhausting all of his chakra. Or he could confront it and rely on just not getting to close to it. The last option seemed the quickest way to resolve this. So the Spectre of Taki directed his troops to trip the zombie so he is stuck under the fire for a little longer. Then he brought the shadows with him as he approached and struck out from the darkness with a entangling strike that made the wire not only try to trip him. No it also looked for vitals to bring the creature down quicker. But his would keep it under the fire of the expanded ghost fire ball.

(Short of it - Hidden wire strike at the zombie to keep it under the fireball. Phalanx helping. )

The zombie simply got annoyed as the spectral soldiers continued to try and effect it. But the spectral soldiers were so weak in comparison to the zombies strength that their exertions didn't even phase it. The zombie slapped at one of them and sent one of the skeletons scattering. The wire seemed to wrap around the zombie for a brief moment and it groaned in annoyance. Spinning around enraged it grabbed hold of the wires and pulled as hard as it could bringing whatever was on the other side of it flying towards him with superhuman strength. It now liberated by the slack would continue to move away from the fire.

-20 ap to zombie.

[Spectre of the Falls(Kuroki)]

Spectre grunted as he was nearly pulled into the pool of light. Only the fact that it was only a tug saved him because he able to loosen the wire  to absorb the force. He still nearly lost all of his wire with that. But the pressure was so brief that he was able to recover fairly quickly. It was time to stretch muscles he didn't use very often. Good thing there was plenty of flickering light with his fire here.

A few hand seals later his shadows attached to the zombie. He wouldn't be able to hold him long with that things strength. But another few seconds was still more seconds of it being held in the fire's influence. He was giving time for his ghost light to burn this dang creature of the dead. While it was stopped his remaining shadow warriors would attempt to find a weak point somewhere on the zombie and strike it. At the same time he tried lashing out with a pure strike of his wires.

The Shadows that reached out to touch the zombie faltered as it tried to stretch out and touch the zombie. The shadows reached the zombie successfully and it wrapped it around the zombie for just a moment as the shadows cascaded forwards stopping it's movements for a moment as the shadow soldiers continued more futile strikes against it doing no damage at all against it's skin. The fire gave one last bright burst of light as the fires continued to burn against the zombie. 

The zombie groaned for several movements and eventually pulled and broke the shadows apart that was shackling his body down. The Zombie groaned unimpressed as the shadow soldiers tried to attack it once more. Their weapons not even scratching it as the shadow warriors continued to slash at him finding absolutely no opening on its body. 

When the ninja released the seal to swing his wire the zombie spun in anger in the direction that the shadow came from. It saw the wire coming and It was ready for it. It reached out and grabbed the wire as it was incoming towards him and just like last time held onto the wire. He gave the wire another powerful tug as it used the tension to get a general idea of where his opponent was lurking. He moved alert towards the end of the wire pulling as it moved.
