Rumia Quest Revival - A New Beginning

[Raikaria]

// There's always the Touhou way getting past obstacles ... with danmaku
// But we should in all means exhaust all other options before that
> "So she said her species protects sacred places..."
> Mischievous smile
> "We could play a prank on her and tell her that a ghost is attacking the Hakurei Shrine.  Sunny you could be invisible and move objects around and make her think it's haunted"
> "Then while she is distracted performing purification rituals we could be exploring the cave"

> "I could do that." Sunny says. "But not alone; if she can sniff me out I'm not fighting her on my own." the fairy insists.

> "We'll come with you." Star says. "It'll be more convincing if we're moving more things at once anyway."

> "Maybe we can lift the donation box together; that one's sure to work." Luna adds.

> "It's empty anyway Luna; it's not hard to lift!" Sunny jokes.

> "I'll tell you guys what's in the cave." Clownpiece says.

[Tom]

> "Great, I'll run up to her and give her the news then"
> "The look on her face when she sees the donation box move will be priceless..."

[Raikaria]

> "Great, I'll run up to her and give her the news then"
> "The look on her face when she sees the donation box move will be priceless..."

> You start heading over to Auun, who appears to have been laying down and sulking, but sits up again as you arrive.

> "Oh, it's just you this time?" Auun asks.

[Evil_Nazgul0616]

>Blink
>"You okay? It looked like you were sulking for a moment there, is there something on your mind?"

[Raikaria]

>Blink
>"You okay? It looked like you were sulking for a moment there, is there something on your mind?"

> "You guys keep leaving me." Auun says. "I liked the company."

[Hope ♦ Metal]

>Do we also enjoy company?

[Raikaria]

>Do we also enjoy company?

> You don't particularly mind either way, you're in your own little bubble of darkness most of the time after all.

[Hope ♦ Metal]

>"I guess company is nice sometimes. Anyway you should check out the shrine. It looks like it's haunted."

[Raikaria]

>"I guess company is nice sometimes. Anyway you should check out the shrine. It looks like it's haunted."

> Auun looks a little confused.

> "The shrine is haunted? By what? Ghosts can't enter sacred ground that easily; even if Reimu's away."

[Tom]

> "It must be a powerful ghost then, it's able to move objects too!  Don't weak ghosts just go through solid objects?"

[Raikaria]

> "It must be a powerful ghost then, it's able to move objects too!  Don't weak ghosts just go through solid objects?"

> Auun looks a little bit concerned.

> "It's moving objects? What was it doing when you saw it? Are the others you were with trying to stop it?"

[Tom]

> "Well that's the problem, we *can't* see it"

[Raikaria]

> "Well that's the problem, we *can't* see it"

> Aunn looks skeptical for a moment.

> "Hmm, but you can usually see Ghosts..."

> She suddenly looks like she has an idea.

> "It must have the power to go invisible! No wonder you came to get me. Your group must have come here to get me to help at the Shrine, I said I was busy, you went back but couldn't do anything so came back to get me against because I can sniff the ghost out, right?"

> "Hmm, but I can't leave the cave unguarded. Miss Reimu asked me to guard the cave..." she says; with her eyes closed and head tilted a bit; pawing her hair.

[Tom]

> "Yeah with a good sense of smell you might have better luck than we did"
> "We could guard the cave while you try and chase away the ghost, as long as there's nothing dangerous in there that might attack us?

[Raikaria]

> "Yeah with a good sense of smell you might have better luck than we did"
> "We could guard the cave while you try and chase away the ghost, as long as there's nothing dangerous in there that might attack us?

> Aunn looks elated.

> "That way Miss Reimu shouldn't yell at me and I get to guard the Shrine! Yay!"

> She gets on all fours; her hair for some reason curling up like a tail at the end.

> "I don't know what's inside. Miss Reimu said no-one goes in or out. That includes me." Aunn says, before she leaps from her four-legged position into the air and flies towards the Shrine.

[Tom]

// I guess we're on the clock
> Do not advance in game time
> Where is the rest of our party

[Raikaria]

// I guess we're on the clock
> Do not advance in game time
> Where is the rest of our party

// It all depends on how much time the fairies can buy.

> A short distance away; where you left them.

> Assumeing no-one went walkabout, of course. Which is entirely possible with Cirno, Kogasa or even Clownpiece you imagine.

[Tom]

> When Auun is well out of sight fly over to them quickly and tell them to come over

[Raikaria]

> When Auun is well out of sight fly over to them quickly and tell them to come over

> You wait a few moments after Aunn is out of sight, and return to the group.

> Everyone is there except Kogasa; who pops out of a tree and tries to surprise you in an incredibly predictable fashion.

> "Good work..." Louise says as she floats past. "If my hunch is correct and the energies, faint as they around that cave are what I think they are, it might solve our problems with those two."

> Louise is moving with more haste than you've seen her so far. She's actually not just casually floating upright but is slightly angled as she flies forwards.

[Tom]

> Alright let's explore this cave!
> Once inside make our darkness sphere as big and thin as possible, so everyone can see better, also use weak lasers to light up the way if needed
> Try making "delay lasers" but cancel them out before they appear and recreate them.  That should create a thin but harmless laser

> You enter the cave.

> After a short; downwards tunnel, you enter a large chamber. Easily large enough for everyone to fit in and move around comfortably.

> It's also not dark. There is some sort of massive magical barrier lighting up the chamber from the far end. The walls are plastered with talismans as well. It's enough to make you feel uncomfortable just being around all these Shinto seals.

> Mayina; Donita and Louise all seem to be even more uncomfortable, perhaps even in some pain.

> The seal appears to be multi-layered, four to be precise. Between the 2nd and third layers, appears to be fragments of something broken. Bits of wood and metal of silver color.

> "This has to be it..." Louise says. Her voice is... a strange mixture of glee and pain.

[Tom]

> "So what are we supoosed to do with this, all these seals make me feel uncomfortable"

[Raikaria]

> "So what are we supoosed to do with this, all these seals make me feel uncomfortable"

> Louise floats over to the seal, and moves to a talisman right on the edge.

> She tears it off the wall, then yelps as her hand is scalded, streaming on contact with the talisman. Unlike the barrier at the Myouren Temple; this talisman seems to have actually done some serious harm to Louise's hand.

> "The seal must be broken, it's the only way to get him back to Makai on our terms, so he dosen't report to his Master." Louise states.

[Tom]

> Do we already know of any ways to destroy seals?

> Perform the following actions in order and check what kind of damage they do to the seals
> Fire a lethal laser directly on to the seals, however do so at an angle so that if it reflects it doesn't hit anyone.  Paper *should* burn or get cut by lasers right?
> Cast Demarcation around the seals then try and "shatter" the Demarcation barrier we created
> Cast Demarcation around the seals then collapse the barrier in to itself
> Focus and put all our energy in to a single thin dense lethal laser and fire continuously at the top of where the seals end, our target should be just outside edge of the last seal.  If it starts cutting in to the wall start moving it slowly around the area where the seals are, our goal should be to cut around the wall where the seals are so that "piece" falls out.

[Assuming since you specify paper you mean the Talismans around the seals]

> Brute force?

> You fire a laser on one of the talismans. Nothing happens.

> You try to form a Demarkation field around the seal; but it is repelled by the stronger barrier magic. This also makes your other similar attempt fail.

> You then start to fire a laser into the rock around the talismans.

> Clownpiece flies over and looks curiously at what you're doing.

> "Move over; it'll take forever that way." she says. "I'll show you a light show!"

[Tom]

> "Give it a try, the barrier magic is pretty strong"

[Raikaria]

> "Give it a try, the barrier magic is pretty strong"

> The Hell Fairy floats in front of the barrier; and you can feel her gathering magic.

> A moment later; multiple small red orbs appear around her; before red lasers spew from them. Even as each orb is fireing, she sends out another batch around her, effectively barraging the wall around the talismans.

> While doing this the fairy is laughing manically.

> The stone around the talismans is clearly getting damaged and starting to crack and splinter. A chunk of rock falls off, talisman included, and the two layers of the barrier closest to you flicker for a moment.

[Tom]

> Can we do something to assist with the lasers and speed up the process, perhaps something with the border of light and dark?  We are the Darkness Youkai after all.

[Raikaria]

> Can we do something to assist with the lasers and speed up the process, perhaps something with the border of light and dark?  We are the Darkness Youkai after all.

> You don't think so, if anything you'd weaken Clownpeice's lasers by using your powers.

[Tom]

> "Awesome, it's coming apart!"
> "Lets help Clownpiece, whoever knows how to use lasers fire just outside the edge of the talismans, Louise you can help too"
> Take our usual arms stretched pose and fire lasers from each hand on talismans that Clownpiece has not reached yet or missed, be careful not to hit anyone
