Danjuro stumbled backward as the weapon came into view. Trish remained rooted in place, though it was somewhat ambiguous whether it was out of respect for Bunji's wishes or for some alternative agenda; either way, she did not look intimidated.
"What do you know about what I do?!" Danjuro demanded. "I took you in off the street, gave you food, and after one hiccup you're betraying me? You better hope you kill me, because I'll make sure you're dead otherwise, you ungrateful brat!"
The footsteps were quickly drawing closer.

When Bunji raised his sword, Trish's hand darted toward her waist as if grabbing an imaginary sword. Her hand grasped nothing but air, though, causing her eyes to widen in horror. Danjuro noticed too, and his face went white as a sheet before the fog washed over him.
"I can't believe I pawned your sword," he muttered in disbelief.
Outside, the crowd's footsteps became frantic. A few people ran into the table and either stubbed their toes or fell over it. Swears started collectively coming out of the crowd.

Trish seemed to be just as blind as anyone else in the mist, and only reacted when she heard Danjuro's pained yelp after the sword bit into his side. His bodyguard was more or less useless in this situation, but still she moved toward the sound of his voice. Slowly, for sure, but it was still progress. At the door, people were beginning to pick themselves up, but it would be a moment before they swarmed the area.

Danjuro stumbled and fell to the floor while clutching his side. His head smacked against a window sill hard on the way down. Trish dove to near where she thought Bunji was, but only managed to hit the floor just as the explosions went off and showered the room. Everyone who had been coming in through the doorway was suddenly feeling a bit worse for wear as the explosion either incapacitated them or injured them with wood debris. The explosion had, however, pushed some of the mist out of the way, causing a clear area around the doorway. A few grunts started poking their noses in not too long thereafter, looking for the perpetrator.

Still alarmed and scared by the explosions, Trish was hunkered down on the floor when the chains grabbed her. In a panic, she started to struggle against them, eventually breaking free with a particularly powerful exertion of her strength. Nonetheless, battered, bruised, tired, and effectively blind, she back up against a wall and raised her fists defensively, expecting another attack. At the door, guards started avoiding the ooze after one of them fell over in it and got stuck.

As the mist evened out again, the guards near the doorway all but stopped in their tracks. They could no longer see which parts of the floor were sticky, and they were generally unenthusiastic about charging through an area potentially laden with explosives. Trish perked up when she heard the clatter of the sword, but remained dug in where she was, dukes up. Danjuro moaned and bled without any apparent awareness of the situation, even as the blade plunged into his shoulder, near his neck. A few drops of blood oozed from under his hair and even more now dripped onto the floor.

Trish's eyes darted around the fog, not seeing anything hidden in it. Then, after Bunji spoke, her eyes grew wide, thoughts fleeting across them. She slowly started feeling her way around the room until she got to the doorway. When her shoe got stuck in the sticky liquid coating the floor, she took it off and used it as a stepping stone, jumping from it to the hallway to clear the rest of the trap. From there, she would run down the hall and vanish around a corner.
