Shadow and Flame

You know, being an orphan who spent more time studying than fighting, I find myself totally unprepared for this new life as an agent of the Gods. I'm not a fighter, like I said last time. Though I think that's going to change, whether I want to or not. I think once this is dealt with, the girls are going to drag me off to put me through a warrior's training program or something.

We snuck into the cave and the girls dispatched a pair of guards with ruthless efficiency. We moved deeper into the mountain and it was pretty clear this place was used as a formal base. We found our way into a mess hall and wouldn't you know it? Alanna decided to make herself a bowl of ramen in the nearby kitchen.

I sometimes wonder if that girl is bipolar.

Going deeper in still, we stumbled upon a bedroom with  a large guard dog. We quickly shut it in and made for a room across the hall. There we ran into Hideki and his Shinobi. The girls, once again, became a whirlwind of death and took down Hideki. During the fight, some of the Shinobi grabbed a bunch of papers and set fire to the other. I'm not sure what I did, but I did something to make sure I'd be okay and used that to snag some papers from the inferno.

Being underground with a burning room isn't very healthy, so we made for the exit while the underground lair got smoked out.

We haven't had a chance to go over what we grabbed, but I'm too busy trying to purge the mental images Moira and Alanna have put in my head. I mean... cat-men... with barbs... EUUGGHHHH!
