"Here I go!" With a leap and a yell, Silas bore down on the Fighter from the shadows with his sword, cutting the axe-wielder down.
Corrin's eyes widened. "Silas!"
"Heh. Good to see you again, Corrin."
"Then... that Shuriken..."
"Was Kaze's. He and I have been around this area a while. Glad we met up here, though. You alright?"
Corrin looked over at Corrinne. "I'm not sure. Something happened to Corrinne with that last attack. We're not sure how many there are here, but... can you help us?"
Silas chuckled. "Is that even a question? Of course."

"Silas! Kaze! You're... urk... alright...!!" Corrinne said, unsteady on her feet, using Yato as a balance.
She was lucky that Felicia intercepted the shuriken tossed at her, because it looked like it was coated in a sickly substance.
"Lady Corrinne... Oh no..."
Kaze checked the intercepted shuriken, frowning deeply. "W-What's wrong?" the Maid asked.
"This is the same poison Hoshidan ninja employ, as does the Hoshidan military from time to time. However... This is an above-average dose..." Kaze explained. "Fortunately, it can be cured with the same antitoxin. Unfortunately..."
"Let me guess," Corrinne said. "You lost your kit?"
"I am ashamed to admit it, but that is the case."
"Hey, Kaze, don't worry... It can't kill, right?"
"At this dosage, it's not lethal to anyone who isn't already on death's door."
"That works. Felicia, can I count on you to keep me from that?"
"O-Of course!!" The maid replied. "But, um, maybe we can wrap this battle up quick for your sake? Kaze, about how many more soldiers are there?"
There was a brief pause as the ninja took in the dark woods...
"It's not a very large force; they're using the darkness to disguise their numbers. There can't be more then ten still in hiding."
[Objective: Rout the enemy.
Remaining: 10]

Corrin nodded, before lashing out with his blade, having shifted back. His blow struck home, and the ninja who'd thrown the shuriken dropped, vanishing. "Make that nine."
Jakob stepped back slightly, though still close enough to support Corrin. "I will do what I can to help keep you alive as well, Lady Corrinne."
Silas moved up to Corrin's side, his lance equipped. "I've got your back. Shall we?"

"H-Hang on, I can fight too...!!"
---
Corrinne + Kaze (Attack!) | Vallite
13x2 + 2 |Atk| 8
100% + 88% |Hit| 65%
0% + 0% |Crit| 0%
HIT! 13
HIT! 2
MISS!
HIT! 13
---
A ninja fell, Corrinne taking Yato out of its dissolving body. "T-Thanks Kaze... urk...!!"
[Corrinne
HP: 16/27 -> 13/27]
A quick application of Felicia's Mend staff fixed that up. "Thanks..." She said, though the manakete was still unsteady on her feet. "Any signs of the leader yet?"
Kaze paused, before glancing at Felicia. "Felicia, might I borrow your weapon for a moment?"
"O-Okay then...!!"
---
Felicia | Kaze
--- ---
Flame Shuriken -> Steel Shuriken
Mend Vulnerary
Physic
---
The ninja paused, before tossing the Flame Shuriken into the dark woods...
A moment later, it returned, and he handed it back to Felicia.
What appeared to be a Sniper had a fiery mark on it, visible even in the darkness...
"There's the leader."

"Well struck." Silas nodded, moving towards the leader with Corrin.
"Watch your backs!" Jakob had seen a Spear Fighter moving behind them, going into action.
Jakob | Vallite
10 (x2) |Atk| ---
100% |Hit| ---
25% |Crit| ---
"Time to take out the trash!"
Jumping backward, Jakob launched his Barb Shuriken, the first strike embedding the barbs deep into the Vallite's neck. He dissolved quickly, leaving the Butler to regain his weapon. "Go. I will support you."
Silas -> Corrin
(Shelter)
Silas moved in front of Corrin, taking a guarded stance. "He's within range... get ready."
The arrow flew through the darkness, striking the Cavalier. He grimaced, though he still seemed to be in decent shape. "Rrgh!"

"Alright, Kaze, what does he have?" Corrinne asked, still using Yato for support.
A pause, then... "Spy's Yumi. And... a Steel Hankyu in reserve. Lord Corrin, Silas, this would be the ideal opportunity."
After the Ninja finished, a fireball came out of the darkness. While Kaze was able to avoid the attack, the resulting miniature explosion... He could feel the heat...
"I... I can't tell what spell that is... Felicia-"
"I know, be careful! I can feel the heat from here..."
"Corrin, Silas, be careful!" Corrinne yelled. "If we can feel the heat from here, I don't want to know what it'll do if it actually hits!"

"Right!" Corrin nodded as Silas moved in. His sword swing struck down the Sniper, but he didn't see the Dark Mage...
"AUGH!" Silas screamed as the Inferno spell struck him.
[Silas
HP: 32/39 -> 30/39
Condition: Burn
Burn slowly saps health...]
"Silas!" Corrin looked over the Cavalier. "What in the hell was that...?"
Jakob quickly moved to inspect Silas, using his Sun Festal to heal him. "...That's a very nasty burn he got. That's going to require medical attention. Fall back, Silas. We can take it from here."
"Nngh... damn it. Alright." He was even having trouble gripping his sword well as he made his way back by the others.
"We're almost done, Lord Corrin." Jakob gripped his Barb Shuriken. "Shall we clean up?"
"...Yeah."

"The pain will pass!"
Kaze's Steel Shuriken found itself embedded in the neck of the offending Dark Mage, its body vanishing from the fatal hit. As he kneeled down to reclaim his weapon, a cloud of purple mist surrounded him...
The ninja suddenly felt sleepy. Very sleepy.
"Kaze, wake up. This isn't nap time..." Corrinne said, lifting up the green-haired ninja. "Okay, this isn't funny..."
She smacked him a few times. No response. She sighed. "Felicia, would you mind waking this slugabed up?"
"O-Of course!" Felicia replied. A blast of ice magic was generated from her hands, into Kaze's face...
And he still didn't budge.
[Kaze
HP: 23/23 (No damage!)
Status: Sleep
A sleeping character cannot do anything...]
"Great. Silas, do you mind helping me get Mister Sleepy somewhere out of harm's way?" Corrinne said with a groan.

Silas nodded, wincing as he picked up Kaze over his not-burned shoulder, wincing. "Urgh... damn it. Corrin, Jakob! Try and find who did that!"
Jakob gripped his shuriken. "Certainly." He and Corrin made their way through the brush, using it for cover... as soon as they found the Dark Mage responsible, the weapon flew out, another critical strike felling the mage. "Done."
Corrin looked around, keeping Yato close. "...How many more... five, four? We have to take them out."

"Well, Kaze said there couldn't be more then ten, so... I guess we're getting close?"
A gust of icy air then struck the Maid...
Well, it didn't do much beyond causing Felicia to crack a smile. She nodded at Corrinne, who nodded back.
[Felicia
HP: 24/24
Status: None]
--
Felicia + Corrinne (Attack!) | Vallite
10x2 + 6 |Atk| 0
100% + 88% |Hit| 45%
0% + 0% |Crit| 0%

Felicia tossed the Flame Shuriken at the offending Diviner, followed up by Corrinne jumping and delivering a slash to the mage...
The shuriken's rebound hit its mark, causing the Diviner's body to dissolve as Felicia caught her weapon. "All taken care of! Well... almost. Heads-up, Jakob, Lord Corrin!"
She threw her Flame Shuriken out, striking a Spear Fighter that thought it would be clever, causing it to halt in its tracks.

"Well done, Felicia!" Corrin gave her a thumbs-up as Jakob followed up Felicia's strike with another of his own.
A Fighter tried to get the drop on the two of them, but Corrin's sword blocked his strike. "I don't think so!"
Jakob just smirked. "...This is going to get messy." Another critical strike from the Butler made him fade away.
"Now then." He adjusted his lapel a bit. "I believe we just have one more? Come. Show yourself; we don't have all night."

As if in response to Jakob's words, a spectral face came out of the shadows.
It was a demonic face, with a leering expression, and wide, empty eyes, fangs bared.
"L-Lord Corrin! W-Watch out!!"
"BROTHER! NO!!!"

Corrin's eyes went wide, but he couldn't evade the face in time. It bit him, sending him flying. "UAGH!"
"Lord Corrin!" Jakob glared at the revealed Sorcerer who'd cast the spell.
[Corrin
HP: 25/25 -> 4/25]
He could feel his strength draining from the strike.
Corrin
HP: 2/12
Jakob drew his Barb Shuriken again, a rather angry glare across his features as he stepped up. "You. Are. Excused!"
He flung the weapon at a high speed, burrowing it into the Sorcerer's chest, the Vallite gurgling out some odd sounds before dissipating.
Stage Clear!

"Glad that's over with..." Corrinne said, finally allowing herself to fall over, onto Jakob. "That... was... something..."
Felicia nodded. "Yes, that was a tiring fight.... Lord Corrin, Lady Corrinne, Silas, how are you holding up?"
"If you don't have an antitoxin I don't want to hear anything..." the manakete replied, placing a hand to her stomach. "I don't care if Kaze said it's mostly non-lethal. Get it out of me..."
The ninja in question was still in dreamland.

Corrin groaned weakly, pushing himself to his feet. "...I feel drained. What was that spell...? It was like I got hit by a Hexing Rod..."
Jakob supported Corrinne over his shoulder. "I don't know. We'll have to make note of this for next time, though. It seems that the Vallites- rrk!" Jakob grimaced as he felt a pain in his chest. "...Damn it. This really isn't that place... how careless of me. It seems they've gotten more dangerous."
Silas nodded, letting his horse basically lead him back, supporting the sleeping ninja. "That was... a rough fight. I'm still glad we met back up, though."
Corrin nodded, walking slowly alongside. "You can thank Robin, when we encounter him again. If it weren't for him, Corrinne and I would have died shortly after arriving here."
