"Well then, it appears negotiation here won't work. Don't worry about causing them undue harm; these sorts are quite adept at recovering from it."

Move 1 north, 1 east, Seven Star Ray north.

Nobunaga took a few steps forward, then pulled the blade at his side a few inches out of its scabbard. A blinding light lanced forward and toward one of their foes.
Nobunaga attacks (7+9 ATK), hitting one of the fairies (19+9 VS 10+3).

Whether through luck or through skill, Nobunaga's attack hits one of the fairy's weak points! (Critical Hit)

(32-2 DEF = 30, 30-20 = KO)

The fairy's face is briefly one of shock, and then pain, and then it seemingly evaporates into particles of light. (Party gains +5 EXP)

With that, the remaining youkai seemingly start to charge into action...
"Alright! I'm going to be setting up a pool on the carpeted aisle near the pillars! That can be the line to set to fight these two things here at, and in a few seconds I can use the pool to strengthen you or heal you; if you intend to take the brunt of combat, I highly suggest you do so at the ground I will be affecting!"
One up, two left, and create Wet tiles on the carpeted squares just south of the pillars.
With a wave of her hands, Mawr creates water from thin air, magically pooling around the carpet.

"...moving corpses. How annoying."
Despite her words, Obito doesn't seem particularly bothered by the knights and guards. Normally, she'd have done what Valor said to do. Avoiding or bypassing the enemies entirely was a perfectly valid tactic, and if they could deal with King Thiyr quickly enough, it might possibly weaken these creatures.

But... she had something to test. Ever since she had been summoned, she was feeling strangely weak, confined, and she needed to check how accurate those feelings were, just in case.

As such, she walks up 4 tiles and uses Right Arm of the Beginning to hit Faceless Knight 2. A massive skeletal arm materializes, sweeping widely before smashing into the nearby undead warrior.

"Well, fairies tend to be quite dull and weak, but they attack in groups, so their firepower en masse shouldn't be underestimated. Bake-danuki, on the other hand, are quite smart and can be quite dangerous, but generally aren't of the disposition to be so. Chochin-obake are also typically harmless; please don't abuse them too badly, as they can't recover quite like the fairies can and don't generally have the strength of tanuki."

"All of them are known for being pranksters, so expect tricky maneuvers. Tanuki in particular are known for their abilities with illusions, even surpassing kitsune."

"Tanuki would be the illusionists with leaves; that should be enough to reason out where they went. Fairies are the little winged ones, which leaves the larger as the chochin-obake."

"Operation commencing"
John walks up to the pillar in front of him, crouching behind it then gestures to valour using opportunity on him.
John does so. "Thank you, my friend." Valor moves upwards two spaces, onto the wet tiles.
Up 3, right 1, ready shield to North.
She does so, placing herself on the wet carpet.
"...moving corpses. How annoying."
Despite her words, Obito doesn't seem particularly bothered by the knights and guards. Normally, she'd have done what Valor said to do. Avoiding or bypassing the enemies entirely was a perfectly valid tactic, and if they could deal with King Thiyr quickly enough, it might possibly weaken these creatures.

But... she had something to test. Ever since she had been summoned, she was feeling strangely weak, confined, and she needed to check how accurate those feelings were, just in case.

As such, she walks up 4 tiles and uses Right Arm of the Beginning to hit Faceless Knight 2. A massive skeletal arm materializes, sweeping widely before smashing into the nearby undead warrior.
Obito suddenly manifests a powerful skeletal arm, (16+6 VS 15+9) narrowly missing the Faceless Knight.

The undead warriors mechanically move into action, puppet-like, yet undoubtedly fearsome.

Faceless Knight 1 moves one tile to the right and three tiles down.

Faceless Knight 2 moves one tile to the left and uses Charge, (18+9 VS 9+6) hitting Obito. (2d4=3+9=12-5=7 damage) She feels a little hurt by that attack (1+4 VS 16+6), but she shrugs it off and keeps fighting.

Faceless Guard 1 moves one tile to the left and three tiles down.

Faceless Guard 2 moves right to Valor, hitting him with a Shield Slam. (19+7 VS 9+4) It hits Valor, (7-8=No Damage!) yet doesn't seem to harm him. (7+7 VS 5+4) However, the attacks surprises him, and he has to recover from it. Valor loses his next movement.

Which is perfectly fine with him, as he rebounds with a Daybreak. (11+4 VS 5+7) He manages to hit the Guard. (2d4=6+10=16-7=9 damage) He strikes quite hard, though the Faceless doesn't seem to make any response to it.

Angelo seems a bit perturbed by all of the fighting. He walks over to Allum (one tile to the left), before transfusing dark energies into the boy. (2d4=2+2=4 damage) It hurts, but Allum's ATK and SKL are increased by 3 for two turns. "Go get 'em, I guess."

Mir holds their action for now.  If someone takes damage, or if the turn would end, they will act.

Fredrich moves into action, moving upwards three squares and using Wormhole, teleporting 4 tiles to the left.

The Chochin-Obake exchanges its move with the Wand Fairy, it flying downwards towards the party 3 tiles.

Nagisa notices Obito getting mauled. She plans to rush over and trap the Knight to keep it from pursuing further.

So it was like a binary search, except the question is "Has the input been brutally murdered?", and it only ever returns True.
