You bring your sword around. It seems to glide through the wires around it as you hit the core once. The manikin is quickly broken by the first swing...then the other four follow. With each slice, the core becomes more and more damaged, before the last blow completely and utterly annihilates it. Pieces go flying as the wire around you flies apart under its own momentum. The labyrinth around you disintegrates, and when it does, you can see Kyouko in a pool of blood, and her two detached limbs.
Your own right arm seems to collapse onto the ground, and you can see the end where it was torn from your body.
It's nasty. You almost vomit just from looking at it.
WITCH DEFEATED
Inventory plus: One Grief Seed! You now have a total of two.
Damage gained: One severed arm.
Deaths: Zero.
Corruption: Things are going to go south really quickly if you don't take care of this.
You begin stumbling around when the pain of losing your right arm finally catches up with you. It's sharp and brutal. It's not like what happened with your shoulder. Rather, it's much more intense because of how your arm was removed. You stumble around, when you hear footsteps and someone running.
"Sayaka!" Madoka shouts...and then she gasps in horror at the both of you. "...Sayaka..."
Above you, you can see the shadow that was once there still standing, before she does a leap to the ground. The hit is soft, cat-like even, and when she reaches Kyouko you can see that she's still conscious. "F-F-f-f-fuck..."
"I have grief seeds." Homura says, coolly. She stands over Kyouko, and bends her knees. "It looks like you might need them. Both of you."
[OPTION Select]

[X] Priority 1: Cleanse ours and Kyouko's Soul Gems. -[X] Priority 2: See if there's anything we can do in the vein of re-attaching limbs. -[X] Priority 3: Ask Homura calmly and politely (i.e. quivering with barely contained rage) where she was.
[x] Don't say or do anything until you've degriefed.
-[x] Remove the arm from your inventory and stick it back on your shoulder. (How hard can it be?)
-[x] Degrief and undismember Kyoko.
-[x] "Really could've used a hand in there, Homura." HAHAHAHA
[x] Seeds. Use our seeds now. On us and Kyouko. We still have one arm for that... [x] Talk to... -[x] Kyouko. -[x] Homura. [x] About... - [x] Limbs... we can, we can reattach those, right? With magic somehow. Please tell me we can.
Hopefully we can stop by "stunned shock" and get a few things done there before reaching our ultimate destination at "murderous rage".
Edit: The update is mutating even as I post! Homura speaks in entire sentences now.

[x] Clean soul gems.
[x] Stay calm.
[x] we have healing magic, right? And we made a Wish to heal someone, right? Mami used healing magic on Kyubey. Magical girls can heal others. We. can. fix. Kyoko.
So, I missed two updates. In them, we got 4 successful rolls, one of them a natural 100, one failed roll, one negative roll, and five successful rolls. We killed the thing overwhelmingly, but rolled a negative on the one roll that mattered most for survival.
Dem dice.

If we clean the gems before anything else, I'm hoping that we'll get a +mod on the will save.
