((Neh, not going to stop you from completing a mission however you'd like. But, technically speaking, the mission didn't specifically say to kill the troll. On top of that, if the troll isn't actually a baddie, their soul isn't a Kishin Egg but rather a pure one, and, as such, will cause Death to confiscate every soul belonging to the pairs involved in an innocent casualty and/or absorption of a pure soul.
But, scratch everything I've hinted at about the troll. Who's to know if its really good or bad? Choices, choices, choices...))
Aaron and Sally turned at once, Aaron's eyes catching only a flash of metal. Being panicked, not focused, this might have been his end. Dying to some extra henchman. How disgraceful... But Shiki's blade pierced the enemy, killing them and saving Aaron. Karma. He took an uneasy step or two back, heart racing just a tad too quick. "Th-Thanks..." He said shakily, staring at the now hovering egg soul.

Sally shifted, sitting down after that little shock. Speaking of which. "Don't go into shock, Aaron. Same to you, Teirra..." She rifled in the pocket of her stitched coat, taking out a test tube vial of purple liquid, similar to the ooze but not as gooey. 'Alright, maybe we can clean that gunk out with this...' She thought, but her mind wouldn't let her go on before it solved something else. This girl was injured pretty badly, on the verge of going unconscious it would seem, and yet she still had the sensory capability to be the only one to notice an extra enemy... Why would that be, she wondered? Now didn't seem like the time to be asking seemingly trivial questions though. She popped the cork out of the tube and poured it delicately into the gash. It would sting, but the bubbling liquid would only serve in removing the bacteria and the foreign material from the wound.

An image flashed in Alba's mind, another thing she'd seen in her spell. "I don't know, just-- JUMP!" As soon as she called it out, a long gap broke the path of the hallway, at the bottom, almost too deep to see down properly, was a pit of spikes. She leaped across, and the boulder would now tumble into this hole, granting them a bit of rest... But ahead was another doorway. The final one, she knew. She'd let Veiz pull himself together first. "I... think that people weren't intended to get in here... Like it was a test, or something. I bet no one would expect an Indiana Jones ripoff though..." She smiled a bit, taking another object from her pocket. A little bottle. She popped the top off and poured out a couple sugar-covered spherical candies. "Here, this'll help us keep going..." Alba's chemistry with these little candies had rendered them as energy-boosters. It had healing capabilities too. She ate it quickly. The only bad thing? It was sickeningly sweet.
