[While the forest have tried, it's underestimated how tightly Ebisu's shinki have kept close to him. It's helped with half of their number now in vessel form, leaving the remaining three to stick by their god... so it's all four of them togethe who push their way into the clearing. Ebisu peers around one of their legs, his eyes wide.]
Is that what those humans were doing...?
[He sounds almost heartbroken as the words wobble out of him, and one of his shinki reaches down to touch his shoulder, only to have his hand grabbed.]
We have to help them! They're all injured-
[Frustrated and scared, he stomps down, right near the lines of the northern sigil.... and there's a jerk of power as he Rends through it.]
[The group pauses, and Ebisu blinks down at his shoe.]
Ah... Kunimi! [That renews the uncertainty that's been plaguing him since they've been lost in the forest.] Everyone we have to tell the other gods!
[In the haste of organization, one of the shinki- Aomi- suggests using their jackets as makeshift bandages, two other shinki are released from their vessel forms...]
[And that's how other people stumbling into the clearing might find themselves directed to Ebisu's tiny form where he's drowning in large black jackets, almost drooping a little bit with the energy he's expended but trying to tear through the jackets to make bandages and tourniquets.]
[Alternatively... They might be directed to go help out his shinki fighting to get rid of the sigils: Takami at the center one, Kimi at the northern one, Aomi at the eastern sigil, Unmi at the western sigil, and Kiwami at the western sigil.]
[OOC: Feel free to make other top levels beneath this one for your characters to help out with the medical and healing effort for everyone who's been banged up! Or feel free to dump injured characters (whether they were kidnapped or not) over by Ebisu to be tended.]
