"Hmph.. well I'm fresh out of ideas" Cam steps clear out of the way
of the vines. "Anyone else have an idea? Maybe we could try to
ambush the Swordsman when she returns?" She asks, unaware that she
already knows that intruders are here
"That might work. Alternatively we could try and find the source of
these vines, better yet the swordsman to take them down while the
vines keep them from the sword." Nocturne suggested.
Cam nods in agreement. "I say this is a good place to split up.
We'll need someone to stand by these vines. If they are being
controlled, then the same person can make them disappear when the
Swordsman is here... I say we have a group try to find the user and
a group can stay back" she adds. "The user must be close by"
Namine overhears the group from the roof of the temple. She decides
to start messing with raijinto's power, adjusting her cloak to
blend in as lightening strikes near the feet of the assassins
“I know I said you were an angel... But you're more than
that. You've come down upon this battlefield... as an Angel of
Death" ~Bungo Stray Dogs
"you were too correct"
The lightning blinds Cam momentarily. She dives into the shadows,
unable to use her powers to attack. "Change of plans-" she
declares. She looks up where the lightning came from, trying to
spot Namine
She cannot be seen due to not being inside, and also the plants.
The sword crackles quietly, though due to the metal nearby or the
lightening we dont know

that. You've come down upon this battlefield... as an Angel of
Death" ~Bungo Stray Dogs
"you were too correct"
(The assassins have just reached the temple Namine resides in. They
found her sword, raijinto but not the swordswomen. However, as of
now the sword is being protected by not only being on the ceiling
of the room, but poisonous plants surrounding it. To make matters
worse, the sword seems to be react to them, spitting lightening at
the assassins)

that. You've come down upon this battlefield... as an Angel of
Death" ~Bungo Stray Dogs
"you were too correct"
Duncan entered with a swig of wine before frowning at the sword,
"Do you ever wonder what happened to the first owner of these
swords. Maybe a samurai once had it."
No problem)
Namine listens quietly, before adjusting her cloak again

that. You've come down upon this battlefield... as an Angel of
Death" ~Bungo Stray Dogs

(I'm just going to introduce my new character now)
-Cam frowns at Duncan, "He may be on to something.." she
mumbles
-Mac sighs, "Well, this talk can be saved for later" his eyes glow
red as he launches himself at the plants sending a mist of red at
the vines. (To those who didn't read the sign up form xD) His magic
being the comple opposite of Cams, causes the vines to wither in
pain. He keeps his palms extended, not withdrawing the magic, even
though it certainly must be causing quite a drain
Lily feeling the vines' pain, screams out in agony. In a final
attempt she sends the last bit of her energy to send up her final
defense before her knees buckle and give out. She collapses to the
ground in sheer exhaustion.
Tune arrives at Lily's place just in time to see her on the ground
and pulls her into her arms. She's fuming, pissed at whoever, or
whatever caused Lily's pain.
At the temple all the vines but the ones guarding the sword
disappear. In their place one huge, thick, toxic thorn ridden vine
bursts from the ground. In retaliation it shoots towards Mac and
wraps around him tightly, pinning his arms at his side. The thorns
start digging into Mac's skin, secreting toxins.
Air swirled around Kimaru and he rushed in after Mac, He hardened
some air and made a sword. He stabbed and gashed the vine holding
Mac while avoiding getting hit.
The vine holding Mac releases him, but then retreats to help guard
the sword. The vine also appears to be regenerating. Besides the
toxins in Mac's system were already at work, though it was unclear
as of right now of what the toxins were even doing to him.
The sword reacts again, lightening striking nearby Mac and Kimaru.
A storm is coming, very soon.

"I'll try and get this guy away, we can't risk him being injured
further." Nocturne grunted, scooping Mac up and carrying him out of
the Temple. He layed him quietly down on some soft ground,
camouflaged by the grass:
- "Wait I can help" Cam offers. She puts a hand on Mac, healing his
physical wounds, but not the poison, because there is no clear way
of knowing that he was poisoned. She gives Mac a ferocious glare
but says nothing.
-Mac is out of it, he accepts both Nocturnes and Cams help. He is
too tired to keep fighting. "Your welcome" he says arrogantly,
"What would you do without me?.. Obviously not get the sword" he
adds pridefully.
(Slowly trying to make Mac the most annoying character here
because.. well, I don't know, it adds an interesting touch to the
group)
