The Day of Thunder

She stood up straight from her leaning position on the tree. “It’s Kakita’s techniques mixed with the general training I had as a kid. Kakita’s a rather… serious man. He’s all about increasing your internal strength and speed and honing that against specific targets.” She rolled her neck a bit as if...

“It’s nothing.” She said with a smile. “The baddies are obviously trying to make things as terrible as they can for all of us… Make us make hard choices that we don’t really know the right answers to.” She tilted her head, “I’ve traveled all around the Empire… and I’ve seen some nasty things. But I’...

Kumori arrived a bit later than everyone, but she was there all the same.

She found a quiet place to sit at first and take in the festivities.

Kumori had arrived at the predetermined time and place. The Nezumi had approached her with the idea and she had accepted on behalf of her family. Akutou coming was a boon to her and the Empire at large. All the people of the world needed to stand together… And having the Nezumi aid in this fight fil...

She smiled back, “If you are so lucky.”

She shrugged, “I can be hard to love.”

She shook her head and chuckled.

“No…”

She smiled, “Well… I hate to break it to you… But whatever you do, you might want to do it soon.”

snip He shakes his head. "We all worked towards it Lady Shiba. We are in this together and we will win this together." snip . His furrowed his brow at the Otomo and then turned to Kumori, seeing if she had heard anything “I hear there is a search party going out for him… But I do not know much else...

Kumori rushed into the fray as Norikage dragged the guard out and back to be tied. She drew her blade and smacked two villagers legs with the broad side of her sword… Trying to put as many of them on the ground as possible and draw the attention of all of the foes. ——— Free Action to Draw Blade.

“Hiruma-san.” Kumori replied with a warm smile and a nod of her head.

“I heard you have been quite successful in tracking down information… You do your family proud and I’m glad to see you.”

“I don’t listen much to my mother… Much to her chagrin.” She replied with a smile. “I told you before that you don’t know enough about my family if you think that is a problem…” She shrugged, “My dad chose the person he loved… Didn’t matter about custom or ability or even blindness…” She gestured ba...

She shook her head, “I’m not… Seems like I’m being coy I guess… But… I’m not comparing.”

She tilted her head back towards the tree.

“The comparing is left up to you really. You’re the guy with the options.” She offered a smile.

“Nah…” She shook her head.

“Had an appointment.” She said as she tilted her neck the other direction.

“Glad you got your rest in… Must have been a good lullaby.” She replied with a smirk.

Baku did say free actions for moving and picking up the rope in the GM Questions thread.

But if that changes it’s cool.

“Restrain them if you can!” Kumori yelled out to the group. She grabbed one of the ropes nearby and then kicked fiercely at the Guard’s leg, hoping to put him on the ground. ——— Free actions for move and rope. Complex Action for Attack.

Kumori leaned up against a tree a short distance away and watched him for a few moments.

She let out a long breath through her nose before speaking up.

“You’re looking pretty rested.”

In the LE Patient fight:

How far are the ropes that Norikage mentioned and what number/type of actions would we need to do to get our hands on them?

As for coordinating!


Kumori’s general preference is going to be restraining the villagers and not killing them.

Probably punching and grabbing and the like.

“It does help someone cut through all the distractions and gunk that we prop up in our minds, doesn’t it?” She said with a nod.

“And so what is important to you now?”
