Oni Trio of Vicious

MINION | CONFLICT RANK: 4 3

The demonic creatures called oni lord over Jigoku in the name of Fu Leng, their fallen master. However, some oni do more lording than others; the vicious oni whom the Brute has gathered are a trio of cruel and capricious horrors, but they are relatively low within the cosmological pecking order in which they reside. One is a bird-headed skeleton with ragged feathers of blood; the second a

swirling pit of darkness from which scabrous insect legs protrude, scrabbling across the ground; the third a blazing corpse studded with nails of black iron. The three are constantly squabbling over slights as old as the War against Fu Leng.

ABILITIES

BOUND FOR ETERNITY As a Support action, one member of the Trio of Vicious Oni may revive one trio member who was defeated in the previous round. Spectral chains reach from the surviving member to the other, dragging the soul back immediately through their unholy bond and returning the fallen comrade with 6 fatigue and 4 strife, and all conditions and injury disadvantages removed. After a trio member is revived, each foe at range 0–2 of the returned oni receives 3 strife. Members of the trio who are not participating in the battle do not use this ability.

HELL IS OTHER DEMONS After a member of the trio becomes Compromised, it always chooses to become Enraged as its unmasking. It moves toward its nearest trio comrade and performs a Strike action against that other member, if able. It does so even during a scene in which this would not normally be allowed, such as an intrigue.
