Ichiro moved into place and bowed respectfully towards his opponent. The Unicorn did not strive to intimidate but his confidence and skill might do so anyway if his opponent was not made of solid stuff.

(Approach: Earth
Initiative: 43+Quick
Strength: 4

Intimidation: 19
Willpower to Defend: 18+4 = 22)

The masked opponent smirks as they step into the ring. Then with a slow motion, they remove their mask to reveal Ichiro's sister.

"Hah! You didn't know I was invited too, brother!"

She takes her stance

Approach: Earth, Strength 4
D2 Sumai Init: 5d10o10k4 36
D2 Sumai Intim: 4d10 25 - Ichiro suffers -1k0
D2 Sumai Resist: 4d10o10+6 23 - Resists Fear

Though Ichiro was a little unnerved remembering how she had triumphed in the Naadam he did not let it show.

"I mean that hardly comes as a surprise, does it?"

He braces himself for the inevitable charge but his foot slips on some loose sand on the ring giving her an opening.



(16 on an 8k5, thanks Orokos....)

She comes at him with ferocity, slamming her body into his and driving him back.

D2 Sumai Attack, 2 raises: 8d10o10k4-10 26

Despite the force of the charge, the actual damage to Ichiro's flesh is little.

D2 Sumai Damage: 4d10o10l1 1

Ichrio nods as he is pushed back, "Good show sister, but they won't all be that easy."

Squaring his feet he pushes back against her displaying a similar control of force.

(Sumai Attack: 39
Sumai Damage: 1)

She is pushed back for the second bout.

(Ichiro 1, Himeko 1)

D2 Sumai Attack, 2 raises: 8d10o10k4-10 13

Ichiro pushes his advantage the strength of the earth flowing up through his feet and into his continued shove.


(2 points for success, +2 for Exceptional x2 = 4 Topaz points so far
Sumai Attack: 54
Sumai Damage: 4)

Summoning the last of her strength, Ichiro's sister tries once more to overwhelm him.

D2 Sumai Attack, 2 raises: 8d10o10k4-10 21

Unfortunately, her brother got the best of her and she was pushed out of the ring.

"Well done, brother."

She bows in her defeat gracefully.

Ichiro returns the bow respectfully, awaits his sister's return to position, then tries to go for the win.

It was not as overpowering a rush as before so it would stand to see if it would be sufficient.

(2 points for success, +3 for Exceptional x3 = 9 Topaz points so far
Sumai Attack: 30
Sumai Damage: 7)

"I don't think you can win this one though!"

She rushes back with great strength!
D2 Sumai Attack, 2 raises: 8d10o10k4-10 57

D2 Sumai Damage: 4d10o10l1 3

"Two and two - it looks like this will be the one that decides it. Do your best!"

He steels himself for the charge and hopes to catch her off guard for the return shove.

(Sumai Attack: 42
Sumai Damage: 1)

And he does! She tries one last rushing push and slips passed him, stepping out of the ring.

D2 Sumai Attack, 2 raises: 8d10o10k4-10 25

"It looks like fortunes have changed since the Naadam. Thank you for the challenge." His tone is friendly and earnest, not mocking like it once would have been.

Ichiro offers another respectful bow to his sister.

(2 Points for success, +1 for Exceptional, +10 for victory = 22 Topaz points total + potential elemental bonus)
