The New Winds

As the participants in the Topaz Champion catch up to the mysterious figure, they end up at a dock a distance away from the Kakita Academy. At the foot of the dock, on the land, Bayushi Sugai stands over the unmoving body of the Topaz Champion, his sword drawn and dripping blood. On the dock behind him, multiple ronin draw their own blades seeing the competitors coming for them, while others on the ship docked there get it ready for sail.

When you attack you MUST state your target in your roll or the attack does not count!

Special: If any player is Knocked Down or Thrown from a Grapple, they fall into the water, setting their TN to 5+Armor. While in the water, they cannot take any action other than Swim or Climb. To swim, a character moves their Water Ring x10 as a complex action. Getting back onto the shore takes 50ft of movement. Alternatively, they may climb, which is an Athletics (Climbing) / Strength check at TN 20.

Special 2: If a character was Dazed during the first part of this event, on their first round of combat they make make their Dazed resistance check. On success, they are no longer dazed and may take their turn as normal. On a failure, they are dazed, and must make a check at the Reactions stage of each round.

References:
c Dazed – A character who has been dazed suffers a penalty of -3k0 to all actions. Dazed characters can only use the Defense and Full Defense Stances and cannot perform an Iaijutsu duel. The character may recover from this Status Effect by making a successful Earth Ring Roll versus a TN of 20 during the Reaction Stage. The target may attempt this roll once each Round, and the TN decreases by 5 each time he fails the roll.

c Mounted/Higher – A character sitting atop a horse or other mount, or who is on higher ground (at least a four foot height advantage), gains a bonus of +1k0 on attack rolls against un-mounted/lower characters. A mounted character may not use the Full Attack Stance

Ichiro first into the fray seeing the Topaz champion injured he screams a moto scream and charges the disgraced runner up. Showing the same prowess as he had in the horsemanship trial as he galloped by Sugai he lashed out a violent kick catching Sugai in the head and wheeling around he punched him hard as he could attempting to send him to the ground. His horse tried to attack but it was no Unicorn war horse the pony couldn't hit the scorpion, though it tried.

Seeing Sugai get kicked into the water, two ronin who look a bit more well off than the others glance at each other and then run up onto the deck of the ship, trying to call the crews to assemble.

Sugai swims behind the boat, potentially trying to climb up the other side, away from the fighting

The ronins who were loading cargo and stopped with their katanas drawn all hold their ground waiting to see what the group of attacking Topaz participants do.

"Prash, Mai - the boat!"

Ichiro waits to see if the shugenja need to move closer for their magics to work, keeping his steed between them and the ronin.

(Defense stance. Hold until the shugenja. Move to keep 5' in front of them whether that is in current position or if they move forward. Simple action guard x2 - one to each.

Kokyou takes Horsey to the edge of the deck, and, with a "Haaaar," he jumps from the saddle with a mighty leap into the water –– actually trying to land himself on top of the Scorpion villain with this fists.

Riding into the docks just in time to see the Moto dropping Sugai into the water, Prash rides a bit further ahead to stand closer to where Mai is, nodding at Utaku Ichiro and Nesrin as Ichiro stands close to protect him and Mai, then he gets another earring from his satchel - the one with a round-ish rock with two bamboo cones above and beyond it -, holding it tight, whispering a prayer as he points towards the Scorpion in the water, then adjusting it on his other ear.

As he does that, a piece of the ground behind him raises up to the air, then flies directly towards Sugai, hitting close to him as he tries to swim towards the boat, although not close enough to hurt him that much.

Hopefully Kenji, washamo Moto and Nesrin will be able to hold for now...

Fight us now and there will be nothing but death in your future." the Unicorn shouted to the Ronin on the boats.

Vision finally clearing as Kenji drops the pair of ronin nearby, Nesrin turns her attention to those on the boat ramp, pausing only a moment as Kokyou flies by and goes splash.

Goldie is a lot less bothered by the movement of the boat than she'd expected, and charges surefooted down the ramp, allowing Nesrin to carve into one of the ronin to slick the ramp with blood. Maybe the unicorn steeds in town have been rubbing off on the ponies here, because this one is more than eager to kick and bite as if she has fantasies of being a battlesteed. Her heavy hoof skims inches from another ronin's head.

Close but nope.

The Topaz Champion's wounds close, but she remains unconscious, though her life is no longer in danger.

Seeing three of their numbers cut down so quickly, and hearing the words of the Moto, the ronin hesitate, their blades waving for just a moment.

The ronin on the boat all take up stances, waiting for the enemy to engage them on their terms, the close quarters of the boat deck sure to prevent the agile horses from maneuvering.

Sugai yells out "Kill them!" after he is hit with a rock and tries his best to swim away from Kokyou, diving under the water to swim faster. He surfaces near the stern (back) of the boat. ((Void down damage))

The ronin next to Kenji and Moto Ichiro both flee back toward the boat, narrowly slipping past Nesrin.

The only group that remains not on the boat all attempt to take down the mounted battle maiden, but only one blade gets past her defenses
Attack vs Nesrin, TN10, all call 2 raises for damage, TN20: 3#6d10o10k3 36 15 19

The cut however, is deep!
Damage vs Nesrin, Void for katana +1k1: 7d10o10k3 34


----------
When you attack you MUST state your target in your roll or the attack does not count!

Special: If any player is Knocked Down or Thrown from a Grapple, they fall into the water, setting their TN to 5+Armor. While in the water, they cannot take any action other than Swim or Climb. To swim, a character moves their Water Ring x10 as a complex action. Getting back onto the shore takes 50ft of movement. Alternatively, they may climb, which is an Athletics (Climbing) / Strength check at TN 20.

Special 2: If a character was Dazed during the first part of this event, on their first round of combat they make make their Dazed resistance check. On success, they are no longer dazed and may take their turn as normal. On a failure, they are dazed, and must make a check at the Reactions stage of each round.

References:
c Dazed – A character who has been dazed suffers a penalty of -3k0 to all actions. Dazed characters can only use the Defense and Full Defense Stances and cannot perform an Iaijutsu duel. The character may recover from this Status Effect by making a successful Earth Ring Roll versus a TN of 20 during the Reaction Stage. The target may attempt this roll once each Round, and the TN decreases by 5 each time he fails the roll.

c Mounted/Higher – A character sitting atop a horse or other mount, or who is on higher ground (at least a four foot height advantage), gains a bonus of +1k0 on attack rolls against un-mounted/lower characters. A mounted character may not use the Full Attack Stance
