[i]Treachery.[/i]

She steps forward, batting aside swords, spears, and whips of coins, focusing on the chain of logic. It wasn't Azazuka, obviously. She's as caught up in this as everyone else, if she's attacking the guards and Piripiri, the guards are attacking her and their own side, and Piripiri isn't affected. Crucially, neither Han or the Red Wolf had been either: even from down here, she'd have heard it if either of them let loose. The barge might not even be intact at that point.

So, something that affected everyone but the daughters of dragons on board, as a running theory. Magic or poison, most likely, and poison didn't fit: she could cleanse herself, but it was an active effort, one that she'd remember. Magic then, and that left a sharply limited pool of suspects. Giriel flew to mind, but she forced herself to go through the full list, not to simply pick the person she most wanted it to be. Giri could do it. She'd done something to their heads already, made them forget the journey out of Hell. She had access. There were two demons, one of which was theoretically powerful enough to do it. There was a second witch, who'd been claimed to bind one of the demons... and had never actually disputed it, only deflected. "Iselsi Shae" easily had the means and access as well. There'd been another witch in Hell, unlikely to have traveled here purely for havoc but a possibility. Ven had no catspaws here, it was unlikely that Naji was willingly working with Ven at this point. Finally, there was a Rakasha about. This sort of madness didn't seem to fit a narrative, but it takes skill and detachment to spot a narrative from within one. She's had about twenty seconds of full brawling.

So. First order of business. Clear the current board.

She steps through the guards, carefully laying each out with a precise blow, an eye on how Azazuka behaves during it all. What's the shape of this madness, hmm?
