[D10, LN, EVENT] Here Comes the Night

[Cearnach]

And Yasuki Ryoichi snuffs out the troublesome life of Mean Fella with a Sword #2 by hacking off his right arm at the shoulder.

[58/57 Ded.]

Ikoma Honoka is up!

[Ikoma Honoka]

Honoka flashed a quick grin in the direction of Tatsuya and Ryunosuke before she charged back out, and with a quick movement slashed diagonally across the back of sword guy #3

(ooc: full attack, ILS1 targeting sword guy 3, Skulking guy 1, Guy with spear 2 and ILS3 activated for the round
D10 LN Here Comes the Night attack on Sword Guy #3. Kenjutsu/Agility+full attack+ILS1+ILS2+ILS3. TN23+2 raises for feint (TN33) | 10k7 ⇒ 68 (TN: 33)
D10 LN Here Comes the Night Damage on Sword Guy #3. ILS3, feint damage | 8k3+15 ⇒ 41 40 damage after reduction 1

Full attack stance
TN15

[Cearnach]

Probably Okay in Other Circumstances Guy with Sword #3 coughs blood into Akodo Kenji's face before his upper torso slides away from its lower counterpart, revealing Ikoma Honoka's smiling face through the resulting shower of blood.


Skulking Guy in the Shadows #1 tries to defend himself against Doji Arai!

Attack Arai--she dangerous! Raising 2 times for Feint! | 8k3 ⇒ 18 (TN: 20)

But is not very successful!

Akodo Kenji is up!
Hiruma Daichi is on deck!

[Akodo Kenji]

With the immediate threat dropped at his feet Kenji charged towards Arai's opponent. This time he presented the image of impaling him on the tip of his sword. At the last moment the blade dropped down and sliced diagonally upwards. "Iie!"

Kenji was left horribly exposed but it had been a mighty strike!

Full attack stance.
Move 15ft to oppnent.

D10. LN. Combat. Round 3. Move 25ft to Full attack vs Spear guy 2. Akodo 1 FR and 1CR to Feint. Akodo 1 and Prodigy for +2k0. Kata for +5. Akodo 2 for+7. | 10k4+12 ⇒ 48
Wrong name, but attacking the one in range.

D10. LN. Combat. Round 3. Damage vs Spear guy 2. +10 from feint. +1k0 from Kenjutsu 3 | 6k2+10 ⇒ 40

[Cearnach]

Skulking Guy #1 rapidly exsanguinates all over the wall of the temple and the bushi of the Right and Left Hands.

[Hiruma Daichi]

This was entirely too much running. But Daichi wasn't going to play these games as he ran past the man with the spear that had fled from him, placing himself between the man and the wall.

Move 60 ft towards the wall past spear guy 2.

[Cearnach]

Skulking man #2 stands up as a simple action and runs 30' toward the wall. He is 10' from the wall.

Naughty Guy with a Spear #2 is alarmed to be totally smoked by Hiruma Daichi and is doubly non-plussed when he runs smack into him a breath later. Naughty Guy with a Spear #2 is engaged with Hiruma Daichi (complex attacks being non-compatible with simple action movement, he cannot strike).

[Matsu Tsuruyo]

Matsu Tsuruyo looks at the situation, by which she means the GUY THAT THINKS HE CAN GET AWAY FROM HER!? and runs 100', which you can do when you have Water 5, placing herself between him and the wall (it worked for that Crab guy!), and snarls at him: "You should die now, weakling."

[Asahina Hoshiko]

Asahina Hoshiko is going to run up to heal Tatsuya next round.

[Daidoji Sae]

Sae jogs into the temple, nimbly stepping between the massive pools of blood (it would be impossible to get out of this silk).

The Ronin were still alive, thank the fortunes.

She offers them both a nod of respect (from the looks of things they had fought well indeed) before taking up a position guarding Tatsuya.

“A companion of mine is coming. Asahina Hoshiko-san. She is a healer, and I trust her.”
Probably best to reassure the pair about any strange faces.


——-
Ooc: simple/free move in. Simple daidoji guard on Tatsuya. Will keep an eye on our charges while folks hunt down the runners.

[Daidoji Ryu]

Face pale and tight, Ryu kept moving as he raised his bow again, loosing another arrow towards... another target!

---------------------------------------------------------------------

If someone's left to arrow, I'll arrow them! | 6k3 ⇒ 32
Damage? | 4k2 ⇒ 12

[Cearnach]

*oof* Spear Guy #2 takes an arrow to the back!
11/57

[Mirumoto Jinkan]

Jinkan swipes once, twice!

"Eat shit tiny penis man!" The Dragon yelled into the face of his opponent.

[Yasuki Masaki]

Masaki is partly surprised, partly relieved to see the Matsu sprinting down to the wall like a 100-meter dash runner. It seemed like these two wouldn't be getting away so easily - but she would still do what she could to help.

With the noises from inside the temple subsiding and Hoshiko and Sae rushing in to help, that seemed to be another gale.

Her hands moved again to invoke the Air kami. They seemed to be getting tired of this game, but still answered - although it was less of a gale this time. Not quite a breeze... but almost that compared to what had hit the invader just before.

D10 LN - Round 4, Tempest of Air again. Void Slot 1/3. 2 Raises for Knockdown. | 7k4 ⇒ 26 (TN: 20)

TN 23 to resist Knockdown

[Cearnach]

Earth roll | 3k3 ⇒ 11 (TN: 23)

For a moment, Lady Matsu is pleased to believe that the Skulkmeister has complied with her request to expire. But the telltale breeze on her face from the last of Masaki's air buddies lets her know that she has been DEFIED.

"SKULKMEISTER, I WILL END YOU!" says Lady Matsu.

But not yet! Because it is Doji Arai's turn!

[Doji Arai]

Doji Arai charges at the enemy! She is 20' from Spear Guy #2!

[Cearnach]

Ryunosuke and Tatsuya hang out at the shrine. Tatsuya has a lot of wounds! Ryunosuke is fine, but does not see anyone that he is legally authorized to slice up, so he flicks the blood from his blade and withdraws deeper into the room (so as not to sit in gore--a fastidious choice, I grant you, but these are the days we live in).

[Yasuki Ryoichi]

Yasuki Ryoichi flicks the blood from his sword. He ain't chasin' the fleeing fellas.

[Akodo Kenji]

But Kenji is! He runs 40'! He is 20' away from Spear Guy 2 and 50' away from Skulkmeister 2!
