Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shinzu simply shrugged. "According to the mayor they come from all over, he believes they surround the village in fact. He also head they hit everyone, so no one is specificaly being targeted." He said as he hand began to gently caress his Fumi shuriken, a habit he had picked up recently. "I figured we'd just walk around the village as a show of good faith, and go to the area they attack first. Naturally that why I made sure to put Batsu at the higest area, so he could see them the moment they came into town." They effectively had three people to cover the whole village, as Andou was going to leave it to them tonight. So Shinzu came up with the best plan he could, a mobile defence.

Batsu continued to vigilantly scope the area. Everything seemed fine up until he heard rustling in the bushes. He looked over towards the sound of rustling thinking that it was just some kind of animal that lost its way. Boy, was he wrong. It turned out to be three shady looking characters spring out the vegetation. Batsu wasted no time notifying the others of the suspicious characters. The boy crouched down and adjusted his walkie-talkie to where he could speak.

Batsu whispered into the device so that he couldn't be heard. "Three characters came out of the bushes. Get your asses to the north side of town.. now!"

Batsu's head slowly rose up again so he could watch the bandits even more. Now he just had to wait until his teammates could get here.

Spot enemies
DC: (1d20 + Awareness) vs. (3d20 + Dex + Stealth + Distance)

"You're on." Shinzu said with a grin as they made thier way to the north end of the village. "Try not to kill them though, ok? We'll want to innterogate them if we can." Shinzu said as they reached the northern edge. "We have eyes on target Batsu, could you tie down the one with the larger pack on his back, while we handle the other two?" Shinzu said to Batsu through the radio, as he untied his Fuma Shuriken and extended it. Crouching now at the edge of another building Shinzu watched at the enemy approached. "Ok everyone on my command." He said in a quieter voice, as if the Bandits could actually hear him. His position was good as from his position, even would he stood up to attack, half his body was covered.

(+8 to dodge and reflex save due to half cover)
Stealth: d20 (20) + Stealth (2) + Dex Mod (3)= 25, but it's an Autosuccess because it's a 20 razz

[No need for me to bother rolling against Shinzu's Stealth lol.]

The party of 3 headed swiftly down the hill, unaware that they had been spotted and of the danger awaiting them. They had discussed their plan beforehand and so the atmosphere was tense and strained. To be honest all most of them wanted was to finish up the job and go home. Hokuto led the group, with his kama at the ready should they run into anybody.

Hokuto d20 + wis 4 + Awareness 5 vs. 17 [Masaraku]

But Masaraku's attack had exposed her and the 2 remaining bandits took this time to analyse their unexpected enemy. Shinji snarled and drew his butterfly sword without a second thought. He brought it far out away from his body with one hand and sliced into Masaraku with all he had. There was something fishy about that big sword she was carrying - he knew Hokuto and he knew that the kid couldn't be felled by just one blow from that sword despite how strong the blow had been. It was almost like it had sucked out his energy...

1d20 9 + 11 Melee Attack + Butterfly sword bonus 2 = 22
2d20 9 + 6 Melee Attack + Butterfly sword bonus 2 = 17

Hp: 26/50
Cp: 40/40

Masaraku took two attacks from the man's butterfly swords, but a little bit of injury would not keep the Hoshigaki woman down. She looked him square in the eye and said, "I hope those two hits were worth it you ******** p***k. Because unlike your friend here you won't be getting up any time soon." She swung her nodachi down with all her might and buried it into the mans shoulder and neck. "If your still alive when I pull this blade out I would run back to your leaders and tell them that Daichi no longer welcomes your company." She doubted he would survive it though, and if he did he would bleed out before he could make it all the way back, but it would give her a scent to follow in the very least. She yanked the blade from his body, his blood squirted onto her uniform as she watched the scales of the blade tear into his flesh more than the wound had already caused.

Nat 20, critical hit. Wound Damage = -4 Hp per turn, Bleed damage -4 per turn due to Samehadamaku always causing bleed damage + Critical Bleed damage.

Batsu was definitely at an advantage. The boy was undetected by the bandits. The boy was ready to go though. He grabbed the bow from the strap around his body and grabbed an arrow from his carrier. Batsu quickly got his weapon ready to go and immediately went into the woods slowly so as he wouldn't make a sound. Once he did so, he ran up a fairly large-sized tree and roosted on a branch... ready to strike. He knew he wouldn't be much help though. His bow and arrow could only do so much.
