Martial Practice

[Kakita Kenji]

Kenji was not prepared for Yui to be so fast, he was able to dodge the first strike well, but hit too hard in reflex.

"Are you all right, Akodo-san? We can stop anytime."

[Bayushi Kaidan]

"We can take turns sparring and observing, Bayushi-san. The more the merrier", he says, smiling.

"This one is Iuchi Prashant, honoured to meet you", he says, bowing again.

"Let's dance." Kaidan said with a smile, giving the Iuchi a bow.

[Akodo Yui]

She realized he was probably just being considerate; but something about the suggestion to stop because she got hit got on her nerves a little. It wasn't even like she was hurt! Okay, she was *pretty* sure that was going to be painful later in the day, but for now she still felt fine.

"Don't worry about it," she said, immediately launching into another attack. Which *almost* got him. *Almost*. There was that 'almost' again. There was no such thing. His defenses were just a tad too good for her.

[Iuchi Prashant]

The Iuchi kept an attentive eye at the Akodo and Kakita, and seemed slightly worried after Kenji's hit, but as the Bayushi bowed to him, he bowed back, and very quickly set himself to a relatively practiced defensive position.

((Please remember to roll damage when you hit someone! Damage from a bokken is Strength+0, keep 1. You may pick the lowest die if you wish ))

[Kuni Yotsuo]

Yotsuo was kind of being overwhelmed a bit with so many people trying to help him. "I..." Did I do so poorly at unarmed kata?

[Kakita Kenji]

Kenji was unsure if he should continue the sparring but since Yui didn't look like she wanted to give up, he attacked again, but this time he was not able to hit her.

This seems to be the lion's spirit, Kenji thought

D1 Serpent Sparring Akodo Attack-Roll#2: 4d10o10k2 12

[Akodo Yui]

Parrying his attack, she finally managed to land a hit! Landing that strike was just the thing she needed to feel good about this whole thing; and she adopted a slightly more relaxed posture. Still ready to defend and continue the fight if he decided to do so, but if he wanted to call it here, she wouldn't mind. The purpose of this fight wasn't to pummel each other to death, after all.

Then again, he might not enjoy calling it at a draw.

Another attack! Agility/Kenjutsu, TN:15: 4d10o10k2 24
Bokken damage: 1d10k1 5

TN to Hit: 15

Wounds: 7

[Kakita Kenji]

Kenji took his bokken aside and bowed: "I think we are even, Akodo-San, it was an honour to fight with you"

TN to Hit: 16
Defence Stance
Wounds: 5

[Akodo Yui]

She returned the gesture with a bow of her own.

"Likewise," she said, "Your defense was strong. I guess that does leave open the question of who should fight Iuchi-s..."

She looked over only to find that the unicorn was already sparring with someone else.

[Bayushi Kaidan]

The Iuchi kept an attentive eye at the Akodo and Kakita, and seemed slightly worried after Kenji's hit, but as the Bayushi bowed to him, he bowed back, and very quickly set himself to a relatively practiced defensive position.

Kaidan swinged his bokken as the fire in his soul tried to strike true. He hoped he wouldn't hit his sparing partner too hard.

Stance: Attack

[Iuchi Prashant]

Prash felt the blow to his arm, but it doesn't seem to have hurt him much. "Ah... I definitely need to improve my defensive posture", he says, smiling, but seems to mostly keep his footing for now.

OOC

Delaying my turn. Still on Full Defence, ATN 14

[Bayushi Kaidan]

"Perhaps you should anticipate." Kaidan next strike found a weak point hitting true. The Iuchi would feel this one.

[Vutall]

((For the purposes of not messing up the timeline roll wise, anyone who goes into wound penalties will be healed so they have no wound penalties, but their first wound box is completely filled. Do take care in the future when taking damage so that it does not disrupt the timeline))

[Iuchi Prashant]

"Perhaps you should anticipate." Kaidan next strike found a weak point hitting true. The Iuchi would feel this one.

The Unicorn takes a strong hit, this time to his belly. The hits he took so far might have taken down a weaker kid, and Prash flinched after the strike, but he grit his teeth and recomposed himself. "Ah... that was a good one, Bayushi-san!"

He then left his defensive posture and suddenly jumped at the Scorpion, aiming for his side and finding a perfect spot for a strike, but controlling his strength and hitting him relatively gently.

"Maybe you're right... I should practice on anticipating your movements better! First to three hits wins?", he says as he steps back, doing his best to fall into a defensive posture again, but not really doing better than he did before.

[Bayushi Kaidan]

"Very well" He nodded. The young Iuchi change of stance took the Bayushi by surprise missing the mark.

//D1 Serpent Round 3 attack on Iuchi TN 13: 4d10o10k2 10

[Vutall]

The Asako sensei enters the dojo at this time with a small satchel of medical supplies to patch up any who were injured while sparring. The bag is full of strange herbal remedies and concoctions.

----------
If any character in this thread has wounds enough to give them wound penalties, the sensei will heal them all the way until they no longer have penalties, but their 1st wound rank will be full.

[Iuchi Prashant]

The Iuchi takes one step back again and seems to wait for the Bayushi's move to take his own again.

When the Asako enters, his eyes move to the side for one instant, but then focus on the Bayushi again.

"Bayushi-san? Do we finish or would you rather take this up another day?"

OOC

Delaying again, but if we stop Prash considers you won by 2 x 1 hit

[Bayushi Kaidan]

"Then two out of three, ne?" The Scorpion boy smiled lowering his sword. He turned to the Asako, giving her a bow. Then back to the Iuchi. "Good practice Iuchi san. I hope I didn't hit you too hard."

[Kakita Kenji]

"From the looks of it," Kenji began, "we've banged our heads together enough for one day. It was still an interesting training session, Akodo-san, Iuchi-san, Bayushi-san"

He bows and let Asako-Sensei take care of him.

"Thank you very much, Asasko-Sensei" Kenji said with a deep bow before he put away his bokken and left the scene.
