Your body cannot withstand the trials of the inquisition, and you die in the scourging fires of Celestia.
You have been slain by Azula.
A necklace made of ivory beads falls out of your inventory.
A swirling force begins to tug at your soul and the world spins around you.
You feel yourself released from the painful inquisition.

I basically only have one massive question: What the heck happened, and how can I prevent it happening again?

Forget that, I have two. In the beginning, I chained her into the room and initiated a ten-kata-form chain. That is apparently a bad thing, since I was off-balance from it for the rest of the so-called fight. Is this a bug?

Talk to me in-game about building an offense, and yes, it's a bad thing to chain forms together.

Basically, you risk not meeting the requirements the further things get and it becomes increasingly difficult to predict them.

The only time you want to chain forms together is for a grapple and a yank.

I've been meaning to speak to you, actually, but I haven't seen you lately. Bad timing, I guess.

What about inquisition though? Is the only prevention to stay on top of afflictions, or are there other prerequisites as well? And once it hits, is that pretty much it, or is there a way out of it?

Oh, afflictions don't have much to do with inqui. You have to actually run away once she gets infidel on you, or keep her hindered until it fades. If you get hit by it, you just have to hope you can tank everything and escape afterwards.

So basically, when fighting Celestines (I assume that's what Azula is), your choices are to kill them in the 20s before they can get you to Inquisition or run away?

Just run away. That's the strategy that works best in Lusternia.

Don't worry about thinking it's unfair, that's how your own class works too.

Sorry, I couldn't resist :-)

Redundancy is redundant.

That's pretty much it, run away, wait for it to time out and come back. Unless you have really good hindering, they'll just inqui you otherwise. I mean, it's totally doable to stop it and it's not an uber-win strategy, but it's something that annoys a good many people because it takes a total of three triggers and a web enchant to pull off.

EDIT: And I'd say that it's easier to hinder a ninja out of their momentum than hinder someone out of an inqui.

You can also shield to avoid heretic, infidel and inquisition. Your best bet is to practice against a Celestine in the arena and get a feel for the timing of the inqui chain. That way you can find out what works best for you in terms of running or hindering.

If you're fighting in your prime territory, mobility is helpful both offensively and defensively thanks to statues. You could use gust, chain yank, grapple/throw to get enemies to hit statues and guard stacks. If it's you v.s. superior numbers, this is probably a safer and more effective option.

If your prime territory is a city.

BUT TOTEMS GENERATE POWER!

Chaining forms only really helps with grapples like mentioned, or if you have something that isn't going to be interrupted by things like rebounding and such (chained throw+that limb mangle mod thing in nekotai vs a non-acro is lolsy chained). Outside of that, if you have a set chain of forms for offense in group fights that's usually okay too, since if they leave the room you just target someone else and restart your chain.

Vs. Inqui in particular, yeah once you're branded basically each flash they can brand you further (go check the lore wiki for the exact chain fo them), and after a point they can call inquisiton on you which is that big stun. Shield as mentioned works, moving around works (especially on Prime, you can just chain drag/gust Azula statue by statue), or if you just keep proning over and over and over again. It might be possible to delay it by chaining lock arms, too, I know that stops a number of things. As a monk, the important thing really is the early momentum, if you can keep them down till you hit the upper stages you can pretty much do whatever the hell you want and come out ahead. The forms you're using look like your stacking lacerations, which while they help offensively don't really provide any hindering, so she's wide open to her full offense.
