Dungeon Prowler : One Man Army

Following Leader's command every single one in the garden stopped moving, even the bird landed on Yunan's should and tried to be a bit smaller than it actually is and stayed closer to Yunan's neck than it did before.

Leader watched her bloody and blue party for a moment then returned her look at Yunan who tried very hard not to panic, he, however, was very determined not to lie so as to not trigger the liars mark on his forehead and get punished for his perfect plan. Therefore although he started sweating he kept his composure as best as he could. "You guy know I hate infighting right?", There was a lot of aggression in those few words and even Dustan let out a whimper while Fae was still on her bad mood thanks to the broken nose and the new bruises that cropped up after that.

"He broke my nose" screamed Fae at leader "he must be punished, now my mood and skin will be bad for ages". Leader just turned her attention to Dustan and Balin "since when have you been using enough strength to break her precious nose home?". " I never did, I usually do like you taught me and seal my strength away after every single fight, it was working up to dinner just now?" Responded Dustan with a lot of hurt feelings as if he was the victim here. Balin was still ogling Dustan as if he wanted to still slog him a few more times "he spat out his teeth and blood square in my beard, I really just finished grooming it with all the care in the world and now I have to do it again.

The start of this event was very much down to luck, Dustan was so excited he forgot to keep his strength in check, causing fae to break her nose and fly into a rage, as they were fighting it, Dustan wanted to spit some blood and teeth that happened to land on Balin, that also caused her injuries and subsequently the involvement of Bai, and if not for the fruit hitting the back of her head, she might have joined that fight too.

Therefore her eyes darted to Yunan and his bird "did you plan this?" She asked Yunan who was stiff as a board. "There is no way I can plan this, this is too much even for my luck, I might need to lose all of it to make sure the events play as they did". "So what did you plan," she asked." a prank, get you tangled up and let the bird take some revenge, then convince you to return it back its own floor, you would have been so proud you would pat my head and say good job". So far Yunan did not lie, he did not plan nor did he tell any false claims, Leader would have praised him if he pulled a prank on them.

"Care to explain this then?" She wanted to make him slip out and make a mistake. "Must be due to luck, you might have used too much good luck in capturing the bird, and as my luck goes both ways, it might have taken the imprisonment of the bird as an evil act done by abusing luck and retaliated in the nearest possible moment, look at my luck, it went down from godly to very good, that is too much bad luck in store for you guys if all of it was turned against you".

Yunan was surer than anyone that getting them to fight in those series of perfect accidents was the extent of the bad luck he paid for, it was, therefore, possible for Leader to wake up from the spell of bad luck and regain control of her future."alright we will return the bird, as for the lot of you, punishment for infighting even if it was started by bad luck".

With their heads down Debauchery party left for the baths to clean up and heal, while Leader stayed behind and watched them walking away whispering about what kind of punishment they would get. She then turned to Yunan "you can keep it if you want to, although it is a monster, it is a docile one, very intelligent too, and it seems like you two have an affinity."

Yunan shook his head "we made a deal, and I don't want to break it, it really wanted to return so badly, now that it had its revenge, it won't attack your party anymore, after all, you broke his first marital nest, and that caused his wife to get angry at him, so, you should have just apologized and helped them rebuild instead of ignoring the nest and keep moving"

Leader had a proud look on her face but she still said something that got Yunan to stiffen again "now tell me the whole truth", Yunan didn't know what to say at first then in resignation said to Leader "the bad luck you had last week, was the rebound from trying and succeeding in capturing the bird, the fight earlier was my doing, I activated my luck to give you some very bad luck, and I accidentally used too much and ended up degrading my luck a few stages". He was expecting some kind of punishment or warning but he only felt a hand on his head and a soft whisper he thought was a hallucination "good job".

Although leader was not very angry or anything, she still appreciated the fact that her student could actually inflict some damage on her and her party, and even put them in a vulnerable state to outside attacks, while only losing luck, even if it was not worth it in the long run, his luck would recover and this tactic of inflicting bad luck on others was an extra strategy in his arsenal. Therefore she chose to praise him instead of berating him, even if he himself did not realize the extent of the damage he dealt to Debauchery.

There was a reason why infighting was forbidden in Debauchery, because it would restrain two members, although two was a small number, in a party of 6 or 7 two was a third of the available forces, and in this incident, Yunan had successfully restrained 6 members, leaving behind the useless healer, if there was an ambush more sinister than a bird throwing fruits Debauchery would have been caught with their pants down.
