While Hana managed to shake of the loud sound, Miko was left with her ears ringing.

"Just die!" Hana aimed her gun at Ryuu, scoring a solid hit, though the shot only grazed his side. (15 damage)

His rifle shot lanced directly into the Miko who had just shot him.

Turning back to the shrine maiden, not knowing the girl had been deafened by Hoshiko’s spell, “just give up now.”

Ryuu continued advancing onwards to the objective, returning fire to Miko Hana. A direct hit, but likely only a flesh wound.

"Aaagh..." Hana fell twitching on the ground, throwing up on her robes before she passed out clutching her midriff.

Still holding his web gun, Atsumori pushed through the fungal foliage to the edge of the clearing. Before him, the drugged man lay tied to a rock, a shrine maiden and a priest had collapsed to the ground in pain, and the other priest and maiden were wrapped in clinging webs. His brows scrunched as he took in the scene.

"It's over, mates. Give it up."

The rifle was shouldered as Ryuu watched the events. With an easy motion, his katana was drawn. The hilt wrapped in obsidian cord, the pommel cap showcasing a spider's web. The way the light caught against the blade, showed the deadly polish of the folds.

"Have it your way." Atsumori shrugged and strode across the clearing toward the masked priest, trusting the others to watch his back if that loopy shrine maiden had any second thoughts about surrendering. He still held the web gun loosely at the ready, but his other hand drifted near his belt, where his daisho and sidearm rode at his hip.

Irritated, Moriko stalked closer, webgun still trained on the elder, just in case. She saw the glint of steel and glanced at Ryuu, a chill coursed down her spine, “Daigotsu-san,” was all she said, but the tone was clear warning.
