The Day of Thunder

Bow won't help here , Akutou thinks, and as he creeps carefully along the hallway, he sets his bow on the ground beside the wall. Advancing, he slides the door open quietly, seeing the child therein. He puts a finger to his lips and bends to lift the child, making ready to evacuate the innocent. ~~...

From the map, it looks like Aoyama has her husband and two kids hostage, each in a separate room.

I can get the one closest to me, sure.

I endorse Yukara and Ayako's plans.

Kenji's at Water 3, so maybe he could beeline for the girl?

Someone who's got Lucid Dreaming may want to anchor us a bit.

That someone ain't me.

I'm Cursed, instead.

Looks like I'm on hostage rescue.

Water 3, Athletics 3, and I think I can continue to be sneaky enough to get at least one of the folks out before things go weird.

Akutou continues to observe, and a thought occurs to him.

This'd be a great time f'r th' enemy to attack.

What happened next?" "Honestly, that's about all I recollect," Akutou says, the thread in question not...

You know, it's been a while...

Akutou grins and surrenders it to her.

Then his face wrinkles.

What is that damned smell, really?

Akutou sneaks around the back and attempts to enter.

That there's a back door, he's certain.

When he can act, Akutou will advance slowly, doing everything he can to maintain his cover--and his ability to address whatever emerges. He silently prays his aim will be true. ~~~~~ Tyrus, let me know if I need to re-roll Stealth; else, I'm keeping the roll. Initiative 24, https://sakkaku.org/r/122...

Akutou is walking by when he hears some suggestions of trouble. Knowing that things are going screwy, he makes shift to hide himself, Always better t' sneak up on things when you can . Peering into the haze, he doesn't see shit. Figures. But at least he's confident it doesn't see him either, and his...

I'm in.

I have a GM question out before I roll.

...and his hat leaves his head as he bows it deeply.

He's a rube. He ain't stupid.

Akutou, present despite his player's absence, looks on, remaining unobtrusive in the back.

I'm available if there are slots remaining.

But I have already gone, and Sakkaku has liked laughing at me.
