[Kakita Kenji]

"GINKARASU GET ME A SWORD!" Kenji screamed at the sight of his beloved geting hurt
---
Free Action: Scream
Hold Action until after Ginkarasu

[Yasuki Ginkarasu]

Ginkarasu scrambles forward, discarding the bench that had helped to block the four different swords that had come at him. The first sword he grabs gets put into Kenji's hands, the second he holds onto himself.

Looking at the array of Ronin coming at him, he draws his tanto into his free hand.

Defense stance: TN 43 (+1 dual wielding)
Free action Move.
Free action drop bench.
Simple action: Scoop up fallen sword.
Free action: Hand sword to Kenji
Simple action: Scoop up fallen Sword.

[Kakita Kenji]

Kenji's face was just a wrathful grimace. " HOW DARE YOU, YOU RABID DOGS" he yelled when he attacked the ronin who had injured Kazuko.

Without batting an eyelid he cut him once across his body and then rammed the katana into the ronin. A fountain of blood followed.

The ronin got what they deserved

[Kaiu Aiichiro]

Stance: Defense

Blood splitting on his back, he crouches to pick up Kazuko on his arms, and goes far from the fight to lay her down, head over a futon. Not exactly what he thought when he said he was support staff, but support staff involved this kind of things too.

Simple action: Pick up Kazuko
Free action: Move 3m behind us
Simple action: Lay down Kazuko

[Vutall]

The ronin lets out a cry and his eyes go wide in shock. He clutches at the wound as he falls to the ground, but goes limp almost immedietly after falling.

Athletics 3 ignores this penalty.

Special: Everything is a weapon! - The sake house has a ton of objects that can be used as a weapon, requiring a free action to pick up. They all use Jiujutsu (Improvised Weapons) / Agility and have a damage profile of Strength +1k1. Additionally, these can be thrown 15ft with Athletics (Throwing) / Strength, with a damage of Strength + 0k1

Technique
Rank 1: -
When you are suffering TN penalties due to Wounds, you may make an Earth Roll (ignoring Wound TN penalties) during the Reactions Stage of each Round, with a TN equal to 5 + 5x the number of Wound Ranks you are currently suffering. If the roll is successful, you may ignore the effects of your Wound penalties until the next Reactions Stage. This Technique does not work once you reach the Down or Out Wound Ranks.

[Kokyou]

Kokyou looks to the deaths, and as things get serious, he decides not to harm the furniture. He looks at the owner, saying, “Tryin’ nah t’ damage much, matey.”

Poor Sake House owner has nothing to do with this. He looks to the man and nods, protecting the table over his head.

Instead of smashing it at the ronin, he kicks the man’s in between his legs as his attention got focused above their necks.

People are already dropping, better stop as many of these guys as possible. He quickly points to a patron, "You, get an Emerald Magistrate!" He then strikes at the one Kokyou just hit, then hits another (1b or 1c)

[Utaku Ichiro]

One of their own was down, though thankfully safe, but that meant no more mercy. Ichiro slams the large chair twice into the wounded ronin trying to send him to the ground

[Vutall]

The Ronin is shaken a bit from the chair, and falls to the floor.

Seeing their freinds all down or dead, the remaining ronin immediately bolt for the door.

"Shit! Sugai's gonna be pissed!"

COMBAT OVER UNLESS YOU PERSUE

[Kaiu Aiichiro]

The magistrates could identify the downed ronin later. Now, even when they woke up, he doubted that they could even move. This also applied to Kazuko...
"Healer, healer!" He bolted across the air at her side.

[Kaito Haruki]

"Sugai, isn't that the name of the yoriki under the Topaz Champion? Let's get them and bring them in for justice."

Haruki Sprints after them, yelling once he gets to the streets "Get those thugs, they attacked my friends!"

[Utaku Ichiro]

Ichiro does not give in to battle lust but, as Haruki heads out the door, he still follows so that the Phoenix is not left alone if the ronin try to silence him.

(Brash = 46)

[Kakita Kenji]

When the ronin took off, Kenji threw the blade of the ronin to the side and hurried to Kazuko. She didn't look well, "Kazuko!" he shouted. It was not a logical reaction, but Kenji was overwhelmed. Would she be all right? Would she survive? Just the thought drove tears into his eyes.

He turned around "Prashant-san! Help her quickly, please!"

[Kokyou]

Kokyou finally puts the table down, trying to calm everyone, "We be all in one piece, crew. Let them run. Honor be by our side."

D3, LE, Courtier/Awareness: 6d10o10k5 24

[Mai]

Mai had been meditating close by. After she finished, she started to walk around and then she heard the commotion. Seeing the ronin flee, she came through the door. She does not say a word. She gets straight to work. The water kami happily answer her call to heal the downed samurai.

Meditation: 8d10o10k4 36 Recover 2 Void

Path to Inner Peace Kazuko: 8d10o10k6 53 Kazuko heals 48

OOC: At work, but feel free to ask for healing. I'll get to when I have chance. I have 7 spell slots left.

[Kaiu Aiichiro]

"Thank you, Mai-san." He replies as he lets Kazuko there. Amidst all the post-battle chaos, many things needed to be done. He had to put them in order of prefference. First and most important, he looked for the owner of the bar.

[Yasuki Ginkarasu]

Ginkarasu sets the borrowed katana back down.

He hadn't attacked anyone, but...maybe he'd helped? Hopefully his insults weren't what provoked them to attack. After all, they started the insults and then ran at them.

And they'd hurt Kazuko a bunch.

Moto Ichiro's fists were kinda terrifying too.

[Kakita Kenji]

...

"Thank you, Mai-san, thank you very much" he said with a shaky voice

...

He turned to Ginkarasu: "Thanks for the sword Ginkarasu-kun, I don't know what I would have done without it"

...

"And thank you, Aiichiro-kun, for checking on her.

Kenji stayed at Kazuko's side, but seemed visibly relieved after Mai had healed Kazuko.

[Yasuki Ginkarasu]

"Welcome Kenji-sama. That was some cut! Maybe better then any in the test today!" He responds, seeking out his good nature.

"Why do you think they thought it was a good idea to come at us with katanas?"
