[Jiyo Ayumu]

Ayumu waited for big rat move before taking his own. There was a small but existing chance he would react to his presence.

---

(delaying until after zombie rat action)

[Tyrus]

Big rat moves to engage the crippled Kanna

[Jiyo Ayumu]

Ayumu moved to put himself between big zombie rat and Kanna and hit the zombie beast with all he got.

His attack only managed to tear away a few dead hair from the beast.

Missed attack
No damage so no Void Stance bonus on damages
Now in full Attack, so TN10

[Tyrus]

The zombies shamble towards the heroic warriors that charged the witch but the heroes managed to evade their fumbling claws and her guard raises his weapon closing in on her to protect her.

Not sure exactly what just happened, Kanna forces herself to her feet. The screaming was done at least.

[Tyrus]

The witch smiles at the two warriors as she cuts her dutiful guard across his side. The man barely moves. She murmers and the blood falls to the earth and bolts toward Nanzi and Kinsen who feel their bodies grow heavier as their stamina is sapped from them.

[Nanzi]

Nanzi seeing an opening leapt forward with a swing of his blade landed a solid if not mortal strike on the witch... but still he knew it would not be enough.

OOC: Full Attack stance, ATN 15, Wounds 0, Reduction 3.

17 wounds with FK bonus.

[Tyrus]

The witch hissed as his blade cut across her arm drawing a dark red line as very dark thick blood leaked from the wound.

The zombies rat turned toward Ayumu with not expression on its half burned face, a face that he had stood should to should with just the previous day the creature took its large club and batted at the smaller samurai catching his shoulder with some force.

[Jiyo Ayumu]

Nothing but a mere shadow in the end. If the real big rat had struck him, he would have been bleeding on the floor at that moment.

He had distracted the beast long enough. Now was time to join the main fight. He ran to it and locked shoulders with Nanzi. Time to see if the guy was all talk or if some of the stories were true.

Voiding damages (3/4), so only taking 19-10-3=6 wounds. Still healthy.
Switching to Air Stance.

[Tyrus]

The guard scowls at Nanzi who struck his mistress and lashes out at the man with razor sharp claws but Ayumu blocks the strike for Nanzi.

[Tyrus]

The group of zombies surrounds and bears down on the group Ayumu protects Nanzi from their grasping hands reaching for the man who assaulted their mistress. Kinsen dodges and swats the hands away from her as she tries to grasp the sorceress that deftly stays away from Kinsen's grapple.

[Kanna]

Kanna grunted at the zombie rat that attacked the recently leaving Ayumu. "I don't have fucking time for you." She muttered as she smashed into the undead creature in front of her. It was a hard smash. The sort that shattered bones. Not stopping to see if it was dead yet, she started heading towards the other melee.

[Tyrus]

The sorceress raises her hands as she tries to call on the elemental spirits but the kami are weak in this corrupted place and her call is too tainted she grinds her teeth "This is why the kansen are better! not so judgmental!"

[Jiyo Ayumu]

There were two ways of protecting the group. The first was to deflect the blows of their opponents. The second was to bring their attention unto himself.

By driving his yari into the witch's flesh, Ayumu probably did the later.

---

Switching to Full Attack.
ATN: 10
Complex action: Strike the witch. Success. 21 damages. Fully jaded I guess (first time Ayumu has hit something this fight).
Not guarding anyone anymore.

[Tyrus]

The guard snarls and slashes again with his jet black claws this time striking the defender that had been guarding Nanzi his claws digging deep into flesh he smiles widely feeling Ayumu's blood run over his hand.

"RAAAWWR!"
