Search for tags pt. 5

The Mission:

After a short rest and some examination of the tags Tadara had come to some conclusions. He needed time to prepare to assassinate the target that had challenged him. Aside from that there would be little need to call him out like that if his efforts weren't having an effect. His fingers would trace along the seal of one of the two tags he had gotten after the engagement. True he had been attacked by someone he recognized but....that too could have been an illusion. Aside from that he wondered about the fate of his opponent. The man had either fallen or dissipated from that spot. Tadara knew several of his bee's had hit as they had dispersed after. Still he had no way of knowing the true outcome. Only a hypothesis. Still if he was doing something effective he would need to continue doing so before engaging in the final fight. Collecting boosting options as well as an ally or two depending on their potency. For now he would continue under the assumption that removing these tags would weaken the enemy. Perhaps they were connected to them in some form? Normally removing their ability to maintain something would increase their potency....however it was possible they had to expend more energy to keep the structure afloat and the tags simply assisted in the matter.

For now he was done toying with the enemy. He had poked and prodded and used traps to conserve energy. However none of them were a threat really. They were average as far as combatants go. Perhaps another form of their loss of control with less of a support system. Tadara would glance around the corridor....a swordsman was standing there guarding another shrine. He would take a breath before concealing his presence with the camo technique he had learned in Iwa. Sensory did not seem to fall under the illusions strengths. So he would approach quietly. Watching for movements to indicate he had been discovered. Seeing none he would reach down and with a rapid movement he would draw the mans sword and thrust it into his heart before he could do more than react that something had indeed happened. Once the illusion dispersed the sword would as well. So he couldn't obtain weaponry in that manner either. It was a pity but he would accept it for now. With the guard gone Tadara claimed another prize. Setting about to collect more.
