Jade Legacy [L5R 3eR] - Act 1: Atsumari/Gathering

[Rain Yupa]

@ Martial Duel:

Sayoko's cold gaze would follow Kagae as he began his circling dance around her. "Have you so little faith in your own work, Crab? If you insist, I will show you the flaws in your design..."

She makes what appears to be a mock swing with her hammer, clanging it against Kagae's armor, but not even putting a dent in it. Was she just toying with him? {15 vs TN 25, miss}  

[Mongooseh]

"Hmmm?" Pondered Kagae as the hammer bounced off him sending him back a bit.

'Lets try something new' thought Kagae to himself as he prepared a full attack stance and charged.

(6k2 to attack the two raises put into to hit 28 to hit.)  

[Mongooseh]

(5k2 damage)
(25 damage.)

@ Courtier Debates:

Doji Kita would nod in acceptance of Hisashi's forfeit. "Very well, Hisashi-san. It's a shame you were unable to stay for dinner. Your effort was a noble one." the Magistrate would tell the Mantis courtier, as he moved to vacate.

During his egress, he and Doji Koan would, for but a moment, share a glance, with mutual meaning behind it. One that said that this was not over.

Exploding dice

@ Martial Duel:

In a desperate maneuver, Kagae would throw everything he had into a desperate strike, swinging his katana with a ferocity that would cause his ancestors to brim with pride! It wasn't until after he opened his eyes after his blind attack that he would see that he had cleaved through the Unicorn's armor!

"You... you... you cut me!" she somewhat exclaimed, her voice more audible and less sinister due to the shock. Blood would drip down the front, as she was clearly Injured from the attack!

"I WON'T STAND FOR THIS!!" she suddenly screeched, going Full Attack and raising twice, dedicating 7 free raises and 2 regular raises all to damage! Operation: Brash Disadvantage is a go! {Heavy Weapons roll of 19 vs TN 50, miss. What the hell, Sayoko!}

Suddenly, her seemingly deadly precision was shot as she threw her ENTIRE weight into the blow in an attempt to crush the Crab into a fine paste, but the Kaiu was able to take it to the sode, or shoulder piece, of his armor without taking any actual harm!

Kagae, you have initiative, and 3 free raises!  

[Mongooseh]

After side stepping the attack Kagae would keep up the unrelenting attacks this time aiming for her now exposed back. He sliced downwards for a gap in her armour in a full attack stance.

(4 raises into hitting 6k2 one raise into damage.)  

[Mongooseh]

Splody dice  

[Mongooseh]

(6k2 damage. 12 damage.)  

[Mongooseh]

More splody dice.

@ Martial Duel:

Sayoko spends her last void point to reduce the damage by 10, the strike Kagae makes barely grazing her arm and causing no noticeable damage to speak of.

"I'LL KILL YOU!" she shouted, learning from her prior mistake; she raises twice like before, but on this Full Attack, she pours 3 of the free raises to boost her accuracy, leaving a total of 6 (4 free and 2 regular) to boost her damage. She would attempt to lay into the Crab again! However, this was was equally evaded like the last, as Kagae's armor proves to be his salvation! {666 = 18 vs TN 35, another miss!}

Kagae, go, with 3 free raises!  

[Mongooseh]

"You're going to kill yourself at this rate!" Shouted Kagae swinging at her in a half hearted attempt at putting her out but not killing her.

"Are you that desperate to win?"

(6k2 attack all free raises into hitting.)
(42 to hit)  

[Mongooseh]

The amount of splody dice i roll luckily this isnt damage.  

[Mongooseh]

(Damage 5k2 Come on low dice for once.)
(7 damage)

@ Martial Duel:

This time, Kagae's latest slash seemed to take, nearly Crippling the Unicorn warrior.

"NO ONE CAN STAND BEFORE ME! I'LL CRUSH YOU ALL BENEATH MY BOOT!" was all she would scream back, nearly foaming at the mouth as she did another Full Attack, this time without any raises of her own, using the boost to deliver at least ONE blow... any blow will do. {Attack roll of 16 vs TN 30, miss} This one was just as clumsy and unpredictable as the rest, and it seemed more and more likely that she would no longer pose the Crab a threat.

Kagae, you have initiative with 3 free raises!
