[Ikoma Eichiro]

Eichiro takes a brief moment. He could use the table as cover to avoid the sword, but that sword may not be too dangerous.

D3 EE:Can I take him? Overconfident TN 20 3k3: 3d10o10k3 12

Oh yeah, that sword isn't a problem.

The Moto was watching him closely and ready to spring into action.

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

[Moto Ichiro]

Ichiro moved like the wind first to spring into action he quickly grabbed the ronin in a bear hug. The man wasn't going anywhere "Go get a magistrate." he growled to the group.

[Akodo Kichiro]

In righteous fury Kichiro steps foward, ready to hop atop the table to deliver a fierce kick straight into this criminal's jaw. Instead he steps back and shows restraint, adjusting his collar and regaining focus. Better not dirty his hands unless completely necessary when this Moto seems to have control of the enemy.

"Courtesy mina-san." he says with darting eyes to the others hoping they leave something for the magistrate to scrape off the floor.

----------------------------
Delaying turn to initiative score 20.

[Vutall]

Dao's Lion Tattoo begins to move and he strikes at the grappled ronin with great ferocity

[Vutall]

((Ronin voids first damage down to 11. Total damage: 27, crippled))

The ronin grunts in pain and passes out from being struck twice rapidly in succession by the Togashi, going limp in Moto Ichiro's arms.

COMBAT OVER

[Matsu Qiang]

Qiang lowered his clenched fists after Moto Ichiro and Togashi Dao took down the ronin in a flurry of blinding speed.

"Serves him right," the Matsu growled, as his stomach continued to gurgle. "Let's call the magistrate. I'm sure he'll know what to do with this criminal."

[Vutall]

At about this time, both Hitoshi and Kitsu Tsubasa enter the inn for their study group, walking almost face first into the angry mob of students.

"Uh..."

Hitoshi says hesitantly.

[Kaiu Aiichiro]

"This criminal tried to poison us." He answers to them both. "We are to bring him to the magistrates. I'm going there. If you want to accompany us, or watch him, you are welcome."

[Togashi Dao]

Dao stood over the slumped ronin, one hand clenched over his mouth, the other gripping his stomach.

"More than...tried." Dao suppressed another urge to purge as he spoke.

[Ikoma Eichiro]

"We would appreciate it if you," *urp* "went, Kaiu-san." Eichir adds, taking a seat again.

[Akodo Kichiro]

"I better come along." Kichiro marches up alongside Aiichiro. His body swaying back back and forth from the unease in his stomach. "With two criminals in the bag I might as well be one away from becoming this crane magisrtate's yoriki." Kichiro jests.

Before departing Kichiro would gather up a sizable sample of the tainted food as evidence.

[Kaiu Aiichiro]

"So we go." He waits for him to gather evidence, checking the local map at the inn, before they leave together to the streets. He takes a deep breath of the night air. Then Aiichirō tries to sparkle some talk in the night street.
"Two criminals? Did you see someone other than that rōnin?" He asks. "The poisoner rōnin, I mean. Not Mirai."

[Akodo Kichiro]

Wrapped within a cloth Kichiro brings along the evidence. He keeps it as far away from his face as possible as the very stench forces a gag.

"... Just a petty thief stealing bread. Caught him fleeing the scene alongside a few other young samurai much like ourselves."

[Kaiu Aiichiro]

"Ah, I see. Scorpion-san told me about that. That Kenji-kun failed compassion or something. I don't think that's the case." He answers. "But anyway. I finished my second Tessen yesterday. Want to see it?" He asks quite eager, his hand in the side of his waist towards the handle before even receiving an answer.
