Aesir draws his scimitar and rushes toward Shen 21 and my attack 7
The attack lands, Shen smiling at the hit before seeming to glow with arcane energy, growing faster and faster before making a strike for his chest (Haste& Bladesong). To hit:26 Damage:14
I transform back into a hybrid and use predatory strikes 11 and for my bonus action I activate a crimson rite of the storm and take 4 necrotic damage
He dodges the predatory strike gracefully, his nose slightly bleeding from the crimson rite. He makes two more palm strikes, before muttering something, a golden and red staff appearing in his hand. To hit:2721 Damage:109
I attack again with predatory strikes twice 1719 and a bonus time 21 damage 181617
He dodges the first two with ease, although the third does land, he makes two attacks with the staff, attacking two times with his palms, "Wow, you're fun. I might have to try harder." To hit:13171229 Damage:712613
Aesir dodges the first and third and activates second wind 12 and attacks twice with predatory strikes 1428 damage:2012
He dodges the fist, casting Shield to stop the second from landing. He makes six strikes once more. Make me Con save (DC 19) or be stunned To hit:252617142516 Damage:1091010911

*Welcome backed! Shall we pick up where we left off?*
KK is in her studio, going over the blueprints she received from the one she met deep beneath that hotel. The warbling hiss of static makes her frustrations known, though she seems somewhat conflicted as well.
The blueprints are in Deep Speech, which she would know is a very strange language to write in due to its extreme complexity, and, more damningly, lack of actual characters to write with. The text alone forces the blueprint to be written in three dimensions, and it has an ethereal quality to it, as if it were an optical illusion, despite her clearly being able to hold and touch it. The characters swim and blur when she doesn't look directly at them, a foggy periphery like from a dream. A lot of the knowledge within comes from scattered comments, always brutally honest in both praise and disdain. There are atomic and molecular formulas, radio frequencies, meal orders, and sleep schedules, all of which are evidently necessary to create the form KK desires.
"How curious..." She says to no one in particular as she continues to examine it. "Well then, where to start?" She looks for if there is a sort of 'step one' to the process.

"Alright, the sleep schedule seems simple enough... oddly specific about the quail egg, but okay... now, Components: Three... children..." She continues to read the rest in silent terror, and the dawning realization of just how gruesome this process would be. The hiss of radio static becomes audible again, fading back in from the silence. After what feels like ages, she speaks again to no one but herself.
"Okay, it doesn't say they have to be living. They probably don't have to be living. I can just... I can just take corpses, surely. That's a lot less morally dubious, right? Right? Yeah, it's all fine. Just visit a few morgues. It'll all be fine." She seems visibly distressed, and continues to try (and fail) to calm herself down through repeating these words.
