Screaming.

All Shiki could hear is screaming. The screaming of the dozens, no, hundreds of the lives he's sent to Hell. The lives he's taken for coin, and for his Brimstone Mistress. The screams were all in some sort of sick unison, their echoing agony amplified within his mind. It grated at the assassin's very sanity, threatening to consume it.

Shiki shook his head, grunting, and trying to get a better sense of his current situation. He put away his shuriken before calling out towards his allies as well as to the inscrutable being within the storm of ice.

[color=hotpink]"If the Drakes dare board, 
I will come forth to slay them, 
with my cursed blade!"[/color]

The vampire called, speaking in a peculiar matter, as always. He always paused between phrases, sometimes fragmenting his sentences, and speaking in some sort of pattern. Some suggest this comes from his strange, dark pact. Others believe that everyone from the Far East speaks in such a matter. Whatever the case may be, Shiki proceeded onward.

The assassin braved through the storm of ice as he made his way to the other side of the deck, where the sinister Drakes had been this entire time. He wasn't sure what they were doing out there, aside from contributing as much as he was. When Shiki got there, he took a peek at them, only to find them babbling like idiots. Shiki took this to his advantage, making himself look less conspicuous to them by crouching behind the railing, his cloak shifting colors again in a similar matter earlier, to further keep him out of sight. 

The assassin hovered his hand over the sinister blade sheathed at his hip, readying to strike the moment they spring up. The blade was said to be cursed, delivering incurable wounds that sting like poison. A true weapon meant for a man of his profession. While doing this, Shivs said some quick mantras quietly to himself, clearing his mind of the madness that just earlier afflicted him.

[hider=Shivs' Turn]
Shivs
HP: 87/87

The assassin formerly known as Shivs puts away his shuriken with his free action.

Shivs uses his movement to move south to the other end of the deck where the Coral Drakes are held up at.

Shivs uses his Cunning Action to Hide in order to prepare for his next action.

Shivs readies an action to ambush either of the Coral Drakes the moment they come into his range, planning to attack them with his Ninjato of Wounding.

At the end of his turn, Shivs makes a WIS saving throw to rid himself of the Wolf's maddening howl, rolling at an advantage due to being within Jill's Circle of Power.

Shivs succeeds in the saving throw, not being madbro anymore.[/hider]
