The Day of Thunder

[Bakuriel]

Combat Event

!!THIS IS A COMBAT EVENT. CHARACTER DEATH AND OTHER UNSAVORY OUTCOMES ARE POSSIBLE!!

Participation: Four Characters

A commotion at the healer's house has drawn you in, crashing and other sounds of destruction. Upon entering you see a room in chaos, Enrou and the town guard Isamu lie unconscious under what appears to be a swarm of Enrou's patients, who are lashing out and attacking everything around them. Even those with critical injuries that should be physically disabling seem to be up and moving without issue. Something is very, very wrong here.

-------------------------
Upon joining this thread please post Initiative and combat stats.

Also make one of the following rolls:

- Medicine/Intelligence or Perception
- Investigation/Perception

Result of the roll will be PMed to you.

Visible threats in the room include 5 normal villagers and one guard, somehow still armored, laying waste to everything around them.

[Shiba Kumori]

Norikage and Kumori heard the screams in the village and were among the first to rush onto the scene…

What they saw was alarming…

[Yumi]

Yumi happened to be nearby when she heard the commotion. Rushing off toward the the sounds only to find herself stumbling onto the scene. With unstrung bow at her side, she was quick to move and prepare herself for the chaos. Whatever was happening here- she was sure that her bow would guide her true.

[Bayushi Norikage]

Screaming, steal, the sick sound of flesh and bone splitting, the scent of blood. This village, nothing is right in this place, ever. He ran toward Enrou's house, drawing his blade. There is not room for hesitation, he has been here dozes of times. He stayed close to Kumori, they needed to back each other up.

As soon as the samurai arrive on scene, the patients seem to shift their focus away from wanton destruction and towards attacking the interlopers.

================================

Information concerning the investigation rolls have been PM'd to players in the thread.

Bear in mind that these are still villagers, and killing any of them will result in a significant loss of trust among the remaining villagers and a major breach of etiquette.

[Bayushi Norikage]

Great...

He knew Kumori said she would protect these people, that said putting them down was out of the question. Shame, that. It would be easier.

Time to uphold the honor of her father's house, I guess.

"There are ropes, we can tie them up", he said, sheathing his sword as they advanced. Then he shouted at the guard. "Weapons down!"

[Bakuriel]

The guard, fully outside of his senses, bellows something unintelligible and rushes at Norikage, reaching out to pick up a weapon from the scattered refuse about the room. Still clearly beside his senses, the first swing of the broken stump of wood goes wild, but the second finds purchase and strikes true.


Attack roll against Norikage | 5k3 ⇒ 22

NOTICE: Subduing the enemy.

A character may make a grapple check against one of the possessed (noting if it is villager or guard). If successful, they must move them 10ft and make a Contested Hunting(Survival)/Strength or Agility roll to tie them down. Villagers may be subdued as a free action if they are reduced to the Down wound rank.

Edit: It will take one move action to reach a rope and a free action to collect it.

[Shiba Kumori]

“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.

[Yumi]

Yumi's bow was ready by the time she arrived, and seeing the others rush in she wasn't any slower on the jump. Though she was not a woman to place herself in harms way she was one with the weapon that was her entire being. Standing back from the rest she steadies herself, her breath, and focuses her eye. Through all the chaos she would find her targets.

"May Earth bolster my spirit," she intones to herself, taking aim among the chaos.

Letting loose her arrow the path she cuts through the engagement finds purchase within the leg of one of the villagers who first turned toward aggression toward her compatriots in this encounter. An arrow which would sink in deep enough to give anyone pause from considering further aggression, she hoped. Much as her spirit was prepared to take a life if provoked this day.

[Hisomu Reo]

"There's something wrong with them...I mean, somthing I can fix! If they are all down, I can get them back to sleep without hurting them any more." Reo reaches back to his quiver. "Of course, that's a relative statement."

At this point, the guard is pretty much spoken for. His fellow archer has taken a shot, which means that it's not Reo's turn.

"Arrow to the knee? A classic."

He lines up a shot at another villager. He picks out one of his armor piercers, one that paradoxically didn't do as much to bare flesh. He lines it up and fires at the next villager in line.

D5 Patients Combat Event - Kyujutsu vs villager #2, attack with armor piercing arrow, 1 raise for called shot knee for ranged knockdown | 9k4 ⇒ 38 (TN: 20)

D5 Patients Combat Event - Kyujutsu vs villager #2, attack with armor piercing arrow, damage, going for low damage | 4k1 ⇒ 2 2 damage to villager 2
+4 to initiative at next reactions phase

[Bakuriel]

Yumi's arrow soars clear through, and while on the outside it might appear that they simply collapsed in pain, for Reo it is painfully clear that the arrow sliced clear through a major artery in their leg, causing them to fall prone and bleed out far faster than any medical intervention could hope to stop. As they land upon the ground, a sound that can only be described as a mesh between a gong and the grinding of stone against stone rings out, just barely audible beneath the din of battle.

The second villager, struck soundly by Reo's arrow, gasps in shock as they try to right themselves...

Strength roll against knee shot | 2k2 ⇒ 7 (TN: 15)

Only to fail and fall to the ground with a pained grunt.

For the purposes of this thread, ranged "knockdown" rolls will be tested against a base TN of 15.

With the guard and two villagers down, the remaining villagers rush their way across the room and swing their fists wildly at the first thing that comes into range.

But their fists hold all the effectiveness of a swarm of gnats attacking a boulder.

The guard and downed villager each suffer 2 damage from being trampled by the mindless villagers.

[Bayushi Norikage]

He was going to take literally every cheap kidney shot the village had to offer if he just tackled one of them to try and tie them down. He hated it, but he'd need to put a little hurt on them first unless Kumori could guard him.

And then he took a sharp stick across the arm. He tried to flow around it, but he was cut still. Then arrows flew and one of the villagers went down in a gurgle.

He picked up the rope. He might not have a choice. Ducking down he put the guard in an arm lock and twisted them away from the gang of crazy coming at him, trusting Kumori to distract them.

[Bakuriel]

The guard tries his best to control the momentum of their grapple, but can't seem to find the right angle.

[Shiba Kumori]

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.

[Bakuriel]

The first villager struck only gets grazed by the blade, but quickly loses balance from the surprise of the blow and falls to the ground. The second takes a hefty blow to the side of the head, staggers for a moment, then stands up triumphantly, somehow maintaining balance, only to fall to the ground in a heap shortly after. One might be concerned for their life if they weren't still trying in vain to crawl across the ground.

"I can't heal that. Sweet kami that man has a lot of blood." Reo sights the last standing villager. "Had a lot of blood."

He looses another armor piercer, aiming for the knee to disable again. It strikes, and Reo is careful to keep the damage as surgical as possible.

[Yumi]

Looking across the villagers, none standing, Yumi would allow herself to approach. Walking first to the one who fell of his own volition she allows herself to be guided by instinct. Moving within she grabs some rope from nearby and then approaches the villager kneeling by his side and slowly tying him enough that his already feeble struggling became even moreso.

"May Earth bolster you," she says, as the rope come taught against him. Eyes glancing toward the one she shot, but then the other threats present in the room.
