Event: Goblin Attack!

[Vutall]

As night begins to fall, there are shouts from the forge. After a few minutes, a large group of "goblins" comes rushing out of the building, eager to kill!

This event has a risk of death!

This event requires 4 students, however for every extra student who is in the event over 4, an additional pair of goblin enemies are added.

All Goblins will act on the same initiative.

After a number of rounds equal to the participants, some of the dojo's sensei will enter the fight, as well as a mountain goblin per sensei. The number of sensei added is equal to the number of students divided by 4, rounded down.

Characters begin the fight outside of the student barracks, which is 100ft from the goblins. Each student may begin the fight armed with a wooden weapon of their choice, which is 0k1.

[Vutall]

Taint Rules:
Earth Ring roll or gain Taint if the following occur:

Open wounds exposed to tainted blood: TN 10

Injured (bitten/stung/clawed) by a Tainted creature: TN 15

A character who carries a piece of jade on his person gains a +10 bonus to all rolls to resist gaining the Taint. Likewise, touching jade to a potentially Tainted wound within a minute of the injury will award a +10 bonus to a roll made to resist being Tainted.

[Otomo Nobuko]

For some reason, a large number of the Bushi students were hanging out near the dorms during the hour of the Dog. Nobuko took advantage of this fact and sat herself down to watch them in case some of them decided to put extra training in... and perhaps to see if a certain Unicorn showed up to do the same.

Instead, she was there when the goblins burst forth, sending the dojo into chaos and the amassed students into fight mode!

D7 Dog Initiative!: 3d10o10k2 13

Ghosting: She will stay in Full Defense during Round 1, and then, if there are no goblins immediately in melee range, she will start moving back into the room during subsequent rounds and grabbing screens and other random objects to chuck at any goblins that get past the bushi line. Any time a goblin gets within melee range of her, she'll return to Full Defense.

Also, if she can attempt to roll Battle/Perception in Round 1 to get a feel for the skirmish to have a better idea of what to do to help and/or direct people?

[Kakita Kazuko]

Kazuko isn't going to simply watch and let her friends fight alone. Besides, the "got tricked by the crazy ronin" gang is almost all here and she's not one to be left out.

Ghosting: Stay in defense and behind Togashi Dao in order to guard him as my initiative and damage is really low. Spend void to negate damage of 10+. If Togashi goes into the 15+ wound bracket/is otherwise unable to attack or if I am surrounded by 3 or more goblins, switch to attack and focus down the weakest goblin. Call 2 raises for increased damage against regular goblins and 1 against mountain goblins and subtract 1 raise every time I go into a higher wound bracket. If wounds go to 15+ or if hit more than 2 times, switch to defense and start retreating to throw items with Nobuko.

[Moto Ichiro]

Ichiro hears the commotion and rushes out of A near by building he glares at the amassed goblins and he sees Nobuko there and moves to stand in front of her "Stay behind me." He growls as he falls into a stance. He had grabbed no weapons and cracks his knuckles ready to put these monsters down.

(Kenji has 1 void point as I was unaware of the void recovery after the mediation event)

[Vutall]

((No more students may join))

The goblins all pour out of the forge in a writhering, snarling mass. Wide eyed and battle frenzied, they set their sights on the students across the training grounds.

So many . . . Best to close the distance first, keep that sword in between you and those things. "Aiichiro, how fast can they move?"

Simple action move x2, 40 ft closer. 60 ft in between Haruki and goblins.

Delay until Kaiu gives a battle plan

Ghosting Utaku Ichiro

Moves up 10ft

[Kokyou]

Bunkered down with a hand on the ground, Kokyou runs with all his might in the same fashion he did several times these days to swab the dojo's floor clean. As he moves, his hand touching the earth creates a pit in front of the students, forming a nasty roadblock to the goblins and conferring his classmates an advantageous terrain to fight from.

Too bad he's damaging the dojo floor. Collateral.
