Con ST: 27

"NOT AGAIN, *******!"

Yasei: "zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz (continued)"

Con save: 7

Sleepy night night time: 9

Misha has a goofy smile on her face, crossed eyed, as the magical sleep takes hold and she plops lazily on to the ground.

Yasei (per that magical DM voice from the sky) suddenly wakes up, and notices that the tentacles are attacking the rest of her friends. Angered that she was apparently put under the beasts spell, she quickly hops back up on her two feet, sprints over to the tentacle, and chop sueys it with her ginsu knives (Samurai Fighting Spirit attack)-

Katana Attack #1: 25 Damage: 7

Wakizashi Attack #1: 15 Damage: 9

Katana Attack #2: 28 Damage: 13

Action Surge - Katana Attack #3: 22 Damage: 10

"Get away from them! Yasei, the eye!" Sana shouts, swinging her own longsword two handed at the eyeball.

Attack: 13 Damage: 6

Attack: 11 Damage: 8

A couple of well placed hits is all it takes to cause the Queen's dead eye to split open like a watermelon and spew optic fluid, slowly writhing and turning to ash. As it lays on the ground, it sinks back into the mist and everyone gently wakes up. This particular cube is now eerily quiet.

"This Hive is proving to be more difficult than Avernus and that was, and I am not exaggerating in the least by saying this, literally Hell. But as long as we have each other, we should be able to power through." Jill hugs everyone, particularly Corrin and Misha since this chamber pulled a cruel trick on everyone and for the moment, there is time to address that.

Sana sheathes her longsword, glaring at the dead eye. "Three down. Seven to go, plus whatever got this thing to change direction in the first place." She returns Jill's hug and gives out hugs of her own to everyone who needs it. "I know that was hard for all of us. Jill, thank you for helping snap us out of it."

Misha laid on the ground for a moment as she woke, knowing that, for now, the danger had past. She was sad, and frustrated, for what this place had done to her, and quite frankly, was sick and ******* tired of being knocked out during important moments. Hearing the voices of everyone else, she slowly sat up and let Jill hug her - and she returned the embrace with love and affection, glad that they were ok, and annoyed that this place had ****ed with their minds.

"Misha is poseeteev. I do not like thees place. At all." she whispered during the hug. "But I am very, very glad that Misha hef all of you." Her voice cracked at the last part, and she broke away from the hug, perhaps embarrassed by the clear show of emotion. Or perhaps, weakness.

Jill allows Misha to break away without any questions. She had already decided that she would ask Misha about what was going on after the mission was complete and she wasn't going to make things harder for Misha by bringing up unpleasant thoughts in front of the crew in enemy territory.

Instead, she checks up on her sister. "This hive played a very cruel trick, making you think that Mother was here. Are you all right, Corrin?"

Yasei silently returns back to the skiff.  With a placid look on her face, she bows in all four cardinal directions, and then directly at her fellow adventurers.  Out of a fold in her kimono, she produces a small bell.  Quietly ringing it three times, she then proceeds to sit down in a rather uncomfortable position on the floor of the skiff.

Yasei's posture is rigidly seated, with folded legs and hands, and an erect but settled spine. Her hands are folded together into a simple cup-shape over her belly. Her eyelids are half-lowered, and she appears to be breathing quite deeply. It's as if shes just exists, and is neither distracted by, nor turning away from, external stimuli. She sits this way for hours.

ROOM FOUR - RICOCHETS

We travelled from the mist cube into another cube. This one, like all the others, was truly enormous. Travelling slowly inside the cube, we saw that all the walls were bare grey, but it was hard to get a sense of scale. Every face of the cube was carved with an orderly array of pale green symbols, all alike. It looked like there was about a hundred symbols on each wall. We looked up, and the face overhead was like the others. We experienced a wave of vertigo and the sensation that we were standing upside down above the ground. A bright light drifted slowly through the middle of the room. Shadows like dots moved along the wall as they went by - we noticed that the shadows were from many, many round spheres that were flying straight across the room as though shot from slings. They moved in all directions. We couldn't see them up close, but we imagined that we would collide with one soon enough. 

Jill examines the symbols on the wall to try and figure out what deathtrap is in this room.

Investigation:9 
Arcana:12

This room appears to be 10 sided. Countless large rocks are drifting in this room endlessly, some at very high speeds. All the runes in this room look alike. They are six hundred feet tall and wide. Each face of this room has about eighty one runes in a nine by nine array, separated by six hundred foot gaps. The rocks bounce off the runes, as if they're projecting some sort of field. Among all the rocks in this room, one stands out - the largest one.

You have the feeling, and it's not a good one, that something could either be on it, or inside it.

"Yup." Misha slowly nodded. "I definitely do not like thees place."

Sana frowns as she looks around. "Yeah, I'm with you, Misha." Whatever else the changeling was going to say turns into a startled noise as a portal opens on the skiff and a black cat with blue fiery ear and tail tips steps through. A big 7 hovers above his head for a moment before vanishing, and Obsidian looks around the skiff and at these new people, eyes narrowed.

Finally up from her meditation, Yasei will inspect the runes on the wall, seeing if she recognizes them:

Arcana: 8

"A...cat? Is this another trick by the Hive?"

Sana blinks. "I...have no idea."

Obsidian lets out an irritated meow and flicks his tail, jumping up onto the side of the skiff and staring Jill down.
