I conclude that 'storm' may be relative, and continue to walk, remaining calm as I wander.  After all, this tumble against the basket of apples and the seller's ire; that's sort of a type of squall.  I focus on calm awareness as I meditatively walk, seeking to maintain my focus on my connection to ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS.  I also vary between paying a lot of attention to what I hear, and trying to ignore sound; I'm unsure if the vision's significance is to disregard sound or pay more attention to it, so I consider and explore for clues.

I silently approach the wielder of IRON WRATH SHATTER, unnoticed because what Swordmaster would pay attention to one who wields what is so clearly NOT A SWORD, and strike out to bludgeon them to unconsciousness with NOT A SWORD’s edgeless blade.

[Initiative: You(4), DANCE ATOP CLOUDS(4), BIFURCATE WHOLE RAINDROPS(2), IRON WRATH SHATTER(1)]

Your Turn
[Movement Roll: 5]
[Attack Roll: 4]

While they're distracted, you run up behind IRON WRATH SHATTER and try to bonk him on the head. 

IRON WRATH SHATTER: [Roll To Dodge Pommel: 1]

He doesn't notice, and you successfully knock him unconscious. 

DANCE ATOP CLOUDS' Turn
[Movement Roll: 3vs4]
[Attack Roll: 3vs4]

BIFURCATE WHOLE RAINDROPS' Turn
[Movement Roll: 4vs3]
[Attack Roll: 4vs3]

Neither of them noticing what you did, BIFURCATE WHOLE RAINDROPS and DANCE ATOP CLOUDS both lunge for the item again.  This time, BIFURCATE WHOLE RAINDROPS comes out slightly ahead, grabbing the cylinder.  He shouts in triumph. 

IRON WRATH SHATTER' Turn
[Movement Roll: N/A]
[Attack Roll: N/A]
[Recovery Roll: 6]

IRON WRATH SHATTER shakes himself out of the daze, and, seeing the glint of a light, leaps forwards, realizing too late that said glint was not the cylinder, but the sun. 

[Roll To Dodge Fall: 2]

He falls off the walltop, screaming expletives.  It'll be rough, but he'll probably be able to walk it off.  Probably. 

Spoiler: Egan_BW (click to show/hide)

Lay low.

After a few minutes of holding your breath, the sounds of them searching eventually subside.  You think you lost them.

You easily slip into a meditative trance again.  You still run into the mental block.  This time, however, the visions gained are much clearer.  They are still pretty garbled, but they mostly amount to the words "Seek Calm Within Chaos" over and over and over again. 

Spoiler: VermilionSkies (click to show/hide)

"Fine then."
I leap forwards, taking IMPAWSIBLE YET UNDENIABLE into my teeth, before slashing across the arm holding the weapon.

[2]

You leap, but, at the last second, the gunpriest notices.  He pulls his arm away. 

[Roll To Dodge Bullets: 3]

His friends fire at you, but you dodge, and the bullets only graze you. 

Spoiler: King Zultan (click to show/hide)

Go after the Gunpriests that didn't die from the explosion and stab them to death with DEFINITELY NOT GUN.

[3-1]

You leap towards them, and manage to cut one or two down, but they fire another volley at you. 

[Roll to Dodge Bullets: 3]

They mostly miss.

"Uhh... I think I got here through creating an extraspatial corridor. Oh, sorry about being in your soup."
Climb out of the pot.

[4]

You daintily step out of the pot, and slide your way out the front door, the family staring at you all the while.  When you exit, you seem to be in some sort of, well, slum.  It is different from many other slums in that most of the houses are multilevel and a good deal are on stilts.  The Cliff Wall is maybe a kilometer to the north, and you can see it looming. 

((I decided to change the way I run fights, to simplify it.))

[Imp]

Oh yeah, we're theoretically 'secret' from each other, I'll spoiler my action in case that helps.

Spoiler: Imp's action (click to show/hide)

Pleased, I ease my awareness back towards the outer world and notice where I have currently walked to and what my surroundings and situation currently are, and of course what if any chaos is noticeable so I can seek the calm within it.  I try to maintain a slight meditative connection to ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS while I do so, and be aware, however faintly, of however ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS influences my sense of what to do next or what I would remember if I already knew what was going to happen next.

They notice you and duck out of the way.  The pair realize what you have been up to, and turn on you angrily. 

[Roll To Dodge DANCE ATOP CLOUDS: 1]

DANCE ATOP CLOUDS, seeing his two competitors close, takes the opportunity to point DANCE ATOP CLOUDS at you and shout: "DANCE ATOP CLOUDS".  As he activates his SUPER MOVE, the air around you two starts circling, like with a cyclone.  The cyclones suddenly shoot into the sky, dragging you along with them and tearing up a large portion of the walltop.  As the cyclones dissipate, you realize you are now spinning just above the clouds, and then they refor, dragging you back down and smacking your head against the walltop.  You feel as if your head is being torn apart.  You feel the front left side of your skull shatter and break away, most of the shards vanishing but some continuing on into your white fleshy brain matter.  You hang on the broken walltop limply.  The right half of your body is paralyzed.  Your left eye is blind.  You are bleeding horribly.  NOT A SWORD is probably the only thing keeping you alive right now.  If you drop it, you're done for.  If you fall over the precarious edge, you're done for. 

WOUND GAINED:
- Face Wound: -3 to social interaction rolls
- Right Body Paralyzed: Any actions involving the right side of your body automatically fail
- Left Eye Lost: -1 to all aiming rolls, or visual rolls involving depth perception
- Cerebral Trauma: -2 to all thinking or mental actions
- Heavy Bleeding: If you gain one more Bleedings, a Heavy Bleeding, a Grievous Bleeding, or two extra Light Bleedings, you die.
- Critical Damage: If you lose hold of NOT A SWORD, you die

((Sorry, but you rolled a 1 against a super move and then several ones on the damage table I am using))

[3, 2]

BIFURCATE WHOLE RAINDROPS manages to avoid most of the attack, only being tossed a hundred meters away.  He then tries to retaliate with a blast of wind from his sword, but to no avail. 

[6]

At this opportune time, IRON WRATH SHATTER and his many fractured bones and bruised muscles makes his way back to the shattered walltop.  He searches for the canister, seeing it glinting among some rubble.  He dashes over and pulls it out triumphantly.  "I HAVE IT!" he shouts.  "I HAVE THE CLUE!"  This, of course, causes all three of your heads (the parts that still can turn, anyways) to turn towards his location.  He gulps.

You mistakenly walk the wrong way, and back into the waiting arms of your pursuers! 

[Roll To Dodge Swordstealer: 4]

You feel KILL CHOP DELUXE getting pulled in one direction, towards this one cop with a giant glowing shield.  Fortunately, you dig your feet into the ground, and are only pulled a few feet. 

You see the CHAINSAW CLERIC put the back of his chainsaw to his mouth and raise it into the air, like he is guzzling something.

You're in a different part of the slums.  The Bazaar is a hundred-ish meters behind you.  You try to maintain the meditative image, but as you fade back into normal consciousness, you realize you have just unearthed a connection that is already there.  It is a strong connection, but it is easily connected and disconnected.  When you focus on creating a memory of what to do next, you find your perception splitting into two parts.  What happens in the first part is reflected in the second part a second later.  Movement, however, snaps both parts back into one.

Your pun makes all the Gunpriests in earshot start vomiting horrifically, the one closest to you having it worst of all.  You chop off his arm, but the other ones recover too quickly for you to accomplish much.

You see a few shifty salesmen selling food that is probably going to make you vomit.  You see shit stains on the stilts of the houses around you.  In the dirt a few meters away, you feel something calling to you.  You walk over and pick it up.  It is a very dirty PREDICT STUBBORN WILDERNESS.  You don't know exactly what properties it has yet, as that will probably take some meditation.
