The consensus was diving back into the Grove to get some leveling in, and just as Ames said she had no problem with it. She was even looking forward to using her cool new bracelets. Not only did they look really pretty, but the fire effect they had was pretty much the aesthetic she was aiming for. Or would eventually be aiming for anyway. 

At the town's gate, Ames sent another message to one of their missing party members.

It was not a big deal if Lew didn't agree, but it would be nice to have a familiar face around when she visited for the first time. These were thoughts for later though, for now it was time to focus on beating stuff up and gaining experience.

Their trip through the mist didn't seem to take as long as last time, and soon enough they were staring at a group of oni. They didn't seem quite the same as the last oni she and Mags had spoken with. Where before their colors were deep reds and blues, these were leaning pinkish and pale. 

[color=C94153]"Oh, onis... a different type you think?"[/color] Ames thought aloud. She glanced at Magpie, but found the girl was in full fight mode. When the brawler met her eyes, her question was definitely rhetorical - and then she was gone. One by one the others jumped into battle as well. Ames blinked, a little conflicted. Rashasta, the oni chieftain they'd met with, didn't really seem to have an qualms about killing to get stronger, but now it felt kind of weird when facing oni.

However. There was something not right about these oni.

Ames watched the start of the battle with an expression of vague disgust. They seemed seriously gross, way more so than normal - or at least from the limited experience Ames had with what was "normal" for an oni. One even flung it's [i]arm[/i] off, and Ames shrieked when the limb sailed passed her on it's way straight to Amulak. [color=C94153]"Ugh, what the hell!"[/color]

Were these even sentient creatures? Maybe there was a monster version and an intelligent version of different species in CaCo? She'd think about that later. Two oni were heading their way.

The warrior drew her sword and shield, her feet shifting into the dirt as she grounded herself. With a [b][combat stance][/b] to raise her strength, Ames began charging a [b][power attack].[/b] As soon as one of the rotting oni got close enough she lashed out with the blade, intent on stopping it's advance with a slash to it's legs.
