(Day 4, LE) Bar Fight! ((Content Warning: Death, Ritual Suicide))

[Kaito Haruki]

(Hold until after ronin group 1)

[Vutall]

----------

Special: Crowded Bar! - Due to the crowded nature of the Sake House, the terrain is considered Moderate. A character’s Water Ring is considered one Rank lower (to a minimum of one) for the purposes of determining how far he can move using Move Actions when on moderate terrain. Athletics 3 ignores this penaltiy.

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

[Kaito Haruki]

Haruki noticed they are just taunting for now, not drawing weapons. Why though? Even ronin don't start fights for no reason. (Investigation/intelligence to sense motive?)

[Vutall]

Haruki gets the feeling that they are hesitating to actually fight because they don't want to hurt them badly, but they are wanting to fight still.

[Iuchi Prashant]

Prash gets a stone pendant in the form of a mountain placed around his neck as he stands behind Nesrin, then whispers something and extends his hand towards the Battle Maiden.

"May you keep strong and steady as the Earth, washamo Nesrin", he says, a resolute look on his eyes as Earth spirits seem to rise from the ground and place themselves around her.

OOC
EDIT: Sorry, saw Nesrin's action there and thought it was my turn : p
Free action to get pendant and place it on him; Complex action to cast Be the Mountain on Nes

Still Defence stance, TN should be 20 + 6 from Defence + 20 from Aii and Nes guarding him for now.

[Utaku Nesrin]

Actually feeling the earth spirits rise up and surround her like that is...surprising. The Battle Maiden's eyes widen as she glances back to Prashant with a small nod. She feels the weight of the spirits as well and somehow knows that while they won't impede her strikes, she's not going to be closing the distance with the ronin if they remain at the other side of the sake house.

[Utaku Ichiro]

It was obvious that the ronin would not back down but Ichiro still did not want to be the first one to strike. He took a step back and prepared himself for their advance, hefting a chair.
