[Event Post - THE SACRIFICE!]
[For the "children" who've been kidnapped, if you wanted a good shot at slipping out, this will be the time - the guards still remaining in the mines are few and far between, and with all the other NPC kids there, it's much easier to lose track.]
[The bad news for a good number of other people is where those guards are; anyone following the passages around will find that you can pretty much follow the guards that aren't staying and watching the kids, as they're heading down the passages that wind into the center of the underground temple - to where the rituals are held. The passages are thin and narrow, only lit by torches, and there's some booby-traps for the unwary along less traveled corridors. The passages come out different places in the big central chamber, so for all of you who don't know your way around the temple, there's no telling where you'll come out, but there's three basic places the corridors will come in.]
[The main chamber is a big, open area; there's a crowd of the guards and other cultists gathered in the largest area, all the way up to a thin rope railing along a drop-off into a very, very deep pit - far below there's bubbling magma. There's a couple other corridors that open up on ledges overlooking the entire scene - nice view, bad place to try to do anything, as it's a pretty good drop even down to the altar platform. The last couple of corridors open up on the other side of the chamber, onto the raised platform that has the stone altar and a big, flat metal hanging cage, rigged with restraints to keep the victim locked in and held upright. The high priest Mola Ram is here, and for each of the sacrifices there's two of the bigger, tougher guards in ritual garb.]
[For the sacrifices, this whole thing starts with them getting let out! Or rather, those bigger, nastier guards are tugging them out, leading them to a side room where they get a chance to bathe and dress - the guards being pretty diligent about that only exit from that room - before hauling them off to the altar, a guard on either side of each person.]
[At this point, the guards will be dragging them to the altar while the high priest is chanting the ritual to Kali; if not stopped somewhere along the way, the guards will manhandle the sacrifices in turn into the cage so the High Priest can pull a wonderful supernatural cheat and pull their hearts out. Bare handed. Yeah, you probably don't want to let it hit that point.]
[The Maharaja's on one of the ledges overlooking with a set of something like voodoo dolls; anyone helping will find themselves with sudden, sharp, likely crippling pains until someone manages to find the kid and snap him out of the trance. If anyone does/has ended up brainwashed, they'll be on the Altar platform helping guard the ritual; a good sharp pain is enough to snap people out of it, like throwing hot coals or a bit of fire at them or, well, drawing blood.]
[And of course, there's a couple other guards at the entrances to the ritual platform, plus most of the Thuggee population of the mine down in the audience area.]
[Have fun, rescuers! :D

Tch.
[He lands into a crouched position and swipes a spear from one of the guards while also butting the blunt end into the guy's chin hard enough to make him see stars.]
no subject
[Isn't that move, like, mutiny or something? He bares his teeth slightly in a grimace of a grin.]
How hard do I have to hit you to end this puppet play?
no subject
You haven't hit me once.
[Spins the spear really fast in one hand then transfering to the other with ease.]
no subject
Yet.
[He narrows his eyes for a moment at what looks like a bloody windmill, and skids to a stop. Charging into something rotating this fast would end in broken things unless he manages to catch it. Different plan.]
[He whips some Hell Bugs the man's way and jumps onto the nearest rock sticking out of the ground to get a look at the altar area. Maybe there's some magical stone to break or shaman guy to kill, and this madness will end neatly. And he can finally go have a shower and wash his hair.]

[There's definitely something going on at the altar, but there's hardly anything screaming 'BREAK ME' like in most comics when big bad goes wild. Maybe it has to do something with each person individually... or there's been some mass hypnosis before. Either way, this seems to be getting them nowhere.]
[Leaving the other man to finish off the remaining bugs, Kanda makes a rather superhuman leap towards the rest of the group of guards who are just standing nearby watching like a bunch of retards after ordering the most troublesome of them to do the dirty work. They don't have any ominous aura about them, more of a fodder aura, so as Kanda manages to land on one of theirs head immediately knocking the guy out, it's pretty damn obvious how this fight is going to go.]
[Even if it's eight against one.]
no subject
[Right now though Blade made use of the chaos caused by the swordsman and got behind several of the guard ring leaders, grabbing them in a headlock and squeezing hard enough to cut their conciousness completely. Silent and quick. It would soon be an army of guards versus two. Now those were his kind of odds.]
no subject
[Kanda is a little confused with how things have turned, seeing the big supposedly-brainwashed guy suddenly turn against what was supposed to be his own. He sheaths Mugen, since it doesn't seem like this is serious enough to do killing, and whacks and punches a couple more guards to unconsciousness, with a single-hit at that.]
[However, this is where he draws the line and also reaches out to bonk the scabbard on his suddenly ally's head.]
Which fucking side are you on?
no subject
What's the big idea you ponytailed fucker? Can't you tell?!
[Seriously how hard is it to figure out he never obeyed these morons. Speaking of which three of them are rushing at them right now, spears first.]
no subject
You threw a fucking boulder at me!
[Fumes a little, then smirks.]
But now I've hit you once.
[Oh, look, guards. Cue dramatic slowmotion, as Kanda moves towards the one farthest on the right, with a split-second accuracy swats the spear upwards and shoves the scabbard into the guard's gut. The poor sod gasps and double overs to the ground.]
[Except, oh, the other two are now behind his back. Whoopsie.]
no subject
I was keeping up appearances! Sides you looked like you could handle it.
[Two guards? really that's your idea of a slip up? Here's Blade invoking Kandata String and wrapping the poor sods up nice and tight]
no subject
Che.
[That sounds rather annoyed, and he's already off to deal with more incoming guards. You seem to handle whoever passes anyway, and it's not like being stabbed from behind would do much damage to him. No reason to try too hard~]
[Although he would like to get to that shower as soon as possible. Maybe he should rethink his choices.]
