(29) Evil DM: GAME ON -=No OCC Past this point=- Session 4!!!!!!! Yay!!!!
** (31) Yoshiaki looks around for clues as to were she went **
When we last left the group the smoke had only begun to clear when they discovered Sahato was gone!!
** (33) Mitsuki looks around, trying to see if there is a crowd or other people around that saw the smoke event **
(29) Evil DM: perception checks
(33) Mitsuki: [1d20+6] => [5,6] = (11)
(31) Yoshiaki: [1d20+3] => [12,3] = (15)
(29) Evil DM: You don't see anything out of the ordinary in the immediate area.
** (31) Yoshiaki looks upset at the lack of clues **
** (33) Mitsuki looks around, "you know this town don't know, where would you hide someone?" **
** (31) Yoshiaki thinks **
(31) Yoshiaki: “not off hand”
(31) Yoshiaki: [1d20+6] => [7,6] = (13)
(29) Evil DM: Yoshiaki > You hear a yelp from above you on one of the roofs though it sounds like a mans voice not a woman’s.
(33) Mitsuki: the woman shrugs, "Well, we aren't going to find her looking around here if we can't find anything."
** (31) Yoshiaki turns and to move towards the sound **
** (31) Yoshiaki looks for a path up to the roofs **
(29) Evil DM: You find a few hand holds that could get on top of the buildings.
** (33) Mitsuki shrugs, figuring the guard knows where to go, she follows after him, not having heard anything **
** (31) Yoshiaki tries to close on them **
(31) Yoshiaki: [1d20+3] => [8,3] = (11)
(29) Evil DM: As you peek you head over the tip of the roof you can see 4 men running while holding a large bag that is moving quite violently.
** (31) Yoshiaki starts climbing the wall **
(31) Yoshiaki: “release the lady or find your fate”
The four men take off running across the roof tops in an effort to lose Mitsuki and Yoshiaki
** (31) Yoshiaki gives chase **
** (33) Mitsuki quickly follows after, staying quiet but giving chase now that she sees the men with the sack **
The four men eventually split off with two carrying the bags and two holding weapons waiting for Yoshiaki and Mitsuki.....
** (31) Yoshiaki draws his blades “that is the wrong chose " **
(29) Evil DM: ((Jumping across roofs is a DC 5 jump check))
(29) Evil DM: Initiatives!!
** (33) Mitsuki grins, pulling the fans out of her obi again, "we'll have to make this quick, we've got to catch up to the others." **
(31) Yoshiaki: [1d20+5] => [2,5] = (7)
(33) Mitsuki: [1d20+4] => [20,4] = (24)
(29) Evil DM: [1d20+2] => [4,2] = (6)
(29) Evil DM: [1d20+2] => [1,2] = (3)
(29) Evil DM: Yoshiaki , Mitsuki, Thug 1, Thug 2
** (31) Yoshiaki moves forward jumping across the gap to the other roof **
(31) Yoshiaki: [1d20+2] => [7,2] = (9)
(29) Evil DM: You make it across
** (33) Mitsuki jumps across the roof as well [1d20] => [18] = (18) **
** (29) Thug rushes at Mitsuki and attempts to knock her off the roof. AoO for Mitsuki **
** (33) Mitsuki spreads her fans, taking a quick swipe at one [1d20+6] => [4,6] = (10) **
** (29) Thug ducks under the fan ramming a shoulder into Mitsuki [1d20+4] => [13,4] = (17) **
(29) Thug: opposed str check Mitsuki
(33) Mitsuki: ((yeah not a chance on this)) [1d20] => [10] = (10)
The thug smashes into Mitsuki and pushes her back towards the edge of the roof....
She manages to hold her ground and doesn't reach the edge however.
** (29) Thug attempts to assist Yoshiaki off the roof as well to end his pursuit. **
(29) Evil DM: AoO Yoshiaki
(31) Yoshiaki: [1d20+7] => [19,7] = (26)
(31) Yoshiaki: [1d6+1] => [2,1] = (3)
(31) Yoshiaki: [1d20+7] => [1,7] = (8)
a thug ducks just in time to avoid a sword to the heart taking it in the shoulder instead halting his charge.
(29) Thug: Yoshiaki , Mitsuki, Thug 1, Thug 2
** (31) Yoshiaki double slash the thug **
(31) Yoshiaki: [1d20+7] => [11,7] = (18)
(31) Yoshiaki: [1d20+7] => [19,7] = (26)
(31) Yoshiaki: crit check
(31) Yoshiaki: [1d20+7] => [15,7] = (22)
(29) Thug: 1 hit 1 crit
(31) Yoshiaki: [1d6+1] => [5,1] = (6)
(31) Yoshiaki: [1d6+1] => [6,1] = (7)
(31) Yoshiaki: [1d6+1] => [1,1] = (2)
The thug goes down in a pool of blood which begins to drip off the roof.
** (31) Yoshiaki looks sideways at the other thug **
** (33) Mitsuki has the gall to snicker at the thug across from her, "numbers have changed it seems, stick with the job and die or run off and live?" **
(33) Mitsuki: she gives a slight shrug however if there is no response and just continues her attack [1d20+6] => [15,6] = (21) damage => [1d6] => [5] = (5) second attack [1d20+6] => [8,6] = (14) damage => [1d6] => [1] = (1)
With a graceful flurry Mitsuki seems to cleave flesh from bone with nothing more than two fans.. The thug staggers but is still standing.
** (29) a thug steps into the fans after Mitsuki finishes her flurry and attempts to deliver a powerful kick to her mid-section. **
(29) Thug: [1d20+5] => [16,5] = (21)
(29) Thug: damage [1d6+2] => [6,2] = (8)
There is a light snap as the foot finds its way past Mitsuki's defenses.
(29) Thug: Yoshiaki, Mitsuki, Thug 1
** (31) Yoshiaki double slash **
(31) Yoshiaki: [1d20+7] => [19,7] = (26)
** (33) Mitsuki winces in pain, gasping as she's sure that sound wasn't good **
(31) Yoshiaki: [1d20+7] => [3,7] = (10)
(31) Yoshiaki: crit check
(31) Yoshiaki: [1d20+7] => [6,7] = (13)
(29) Thug: miss / miss
** (29) Thug steps left and right to avoid the two stabs. **
(29) Thug: Ah
(29) Thug: 1 hit then
(31) Yoshiaki: [1d6+1] => [1,1] = (2)
** (29) Thug stumbles a bit but stays on his feet... "I'm not going down that easy.." **
** (33) Mitsuki still wincing from the pain can't help but spit out, "Ninja never do, do they?" she twirls her fans, overcoming her pain to attack the ninja again [1d20+6] => [1,6] = (7) damage => [1d6] => [1] = (1) second attack [1d20+6] => [1,6] = (7) damage => [1d6] => [6] = (6) **
Mitsuki winces in pain a bit as she begins her flurry halting her attacks.
** (29) Thug moves in for a kill shot sending an open palm strike to Mitsuki's rib cage.. **
(29) Thug: [1d20+2] => [18,2] = (20)
(29) Thug: [1d6+2] => [1,2] = (3)
** (33) Mitsuki stumbles back, wincing again and letting out a slight scream ((still up)) **
twists his palm as it land just shy of the injured rib.
** (29) Thug twists his palm as it land just shy of the injured rib. **
(29) Thug: "Ohh does lovely have an owie...” he grins.
(29) Thug: Yoshiaki, Mitsuki, Thug 1
** (31) Yoshiaki double slash **
(31) Yoshiaki: [1d20+7] => [10,7] = (17)
(31) Yoshiaki: [1d20+7] => [16,7] = (23)
** (33) Mitsuki maintains a grin, looking more like a deadheads’ grin at the ninja, "less than what you have right, about now..." she times the last with Yoshi's attack **
(31) Yoshiaki: [1d6+1] => [1,1] = (2)
(31) Yoshiaki: [1d6+1] => [3,1] = (4)
Yoshiaki tears into the thug leaving little but the thoughts of Mitsuki's last words on his mind.
(31) Yoshiaki: “fate does not look kindly on people that resist her cold hard grip”
(33) Mitsuki: grimacing in pain, the girl looks at Yoshi, "you continue ahead and I'll try to follow. We’re dealing with ninjas, not exactly the weak thugs that tried earlier to get her."
You see light foam begin to form on the mouths of the two men.
(29) Thug: [1d20-1] => [1,-1] = (0)
(29) Thug: [1d4-1] => [4,-1] = (3)
(29) Thug: Yoshiaki you feel a sharp pain in your right shoulder.
(29) Evil DM: Yoshiaki you feel a sharp pain in your right shoulder.
** (31) Yoshiaki winces in pain and checks his shoulder **
(29) Evil DM: You see an odd piece of metal shaped like a four pointed star with a sticky substance on it.
(29) Evil DM: Sticky besides your blood that is.
(29) Evil DM: Yoshiaki > Fort Save!!
** (31) Yoshiaki scans the area for the hostile target **
(29) Evil DM: Perception check
(29) Evil DM: [1d20+8] => [16,8] = (24)
(31) Yoshiaki: [1d20+3] => [7,3] = (10)
** (33) Mitsuki scans around as well, trying to find the location of the thrower **
(31) Yoshiaki: [1d20+3] => [12,3] = (15)
(29) Evil DM: Yoshiaki > your arms and legs begin to feel a little less responsive but you shake it off.
(29) Evil DM: You do not see anyone in the immediate area this include the two men with a moving bag.
** (31) Yoshiaki checks the thugs for anything of use or any clues as to were there friends went **
(33) Mitsuki: wincing in pain, the girl crouches, to make herself less of a target, "this isn't going to get us anywhere, we've lost the other two and there might be superior numbers. we need further aid"
(31) Yoshiaki: “first we need to find out were we need to attack and then we need to check your wounds”
(33) Mitsuki: she groans and rolls her eyes at the guardsman, "well you tell me which direction they went and if you can find any trace of them. of course if I live long enough I'll let you check my injuries then"
** (31) Yoshiaki shakes his head “nothing” **
** (33) Mitsuki starts looking for a way to climb down from the roof, "then you need to think sensibly about this. Whatever she has is important enough for both yakuza thugs and ninjas to be pursuing her. Your leaders probably should know, the guards should be put in force and the city should be locked down to prevent any escape." **
The way down while more painful than the way up is a simple climb.
(31) Yoshiaki: “not as easy as you may think”
(31) Yoshiaki: “what ever this is they do not want to make it public”
(33) Mitsuki: she starts to shrug and then stops as the move becomes far too painful, "never said it would be easy, but you need to think about this. Two people searching a city for those trained to disappear seems like a waste of time. I'm going to go back to my friends, get my ribs looked at, and get taken care of. You should go talk to your elders or bosses, try to get something moving."
(33) Mitsuki: she listens to his comment, "it doesn't have to be public, tell them to mask it as some changing of the guards drill or public defense drill. Make some pretense, but start to search the city. The more people the better."
(31) Yoshiaki: “I will see what can be done but this is not really in my skills, people that is "
(33) Mitsuki: "well I have no clout in your city, I'm just a dancer, but I can help you talk to your leaders. But first I need to get back to my dance troupe, they need to know I won't be able to dance, and I need to get this taken care of." she winces to emphasize her broken rib(s)
** (31) Yoshiaki shakes his head “you do not request to see the elders they request to see you " **
(33) Mitsuki: "well then there should be an exception..." she slows her pace, the adrenaline of the fight fading fast and the pain building, she mutters, "stupid clan structures..." speaking out louder, "well then I'll get things moving, but please, i need to get to my companions now..." her breathing becomes labored, making her wince and grimace more with each step
(29) Evil DM: Yoshiaki > 2nd Fort Save!!
(31) Yoshiaki: [1d20+3] => [17,3] = (20)
(29) Evil DM: :(
(29) Evil DM: The numbness is completely gone
** (31) Yoshiaki shrugs off his wounds **
A small group of men and women walk by the two as the travel. Two of the women stop and come over to Mitsuki.
(29) a dancer: "Mitsuki! are you alright?" she asks
The other pulls out a small chain and glares at Yoshiaki... "Did he hurt you?"
** (31) Yoshiaki raises an eyebrow **
** (29) a dancer leans over and hugs Mitsuki. (whisper) **
(29) a dancer: (whispering): "We got the message."
(33) Mitsuki: (whispering): "the woman of interest got kidnapped, likely ninja, other yakuza have been after her too and also potential dealings with the guardsman's family."
(29) a dancer: (whispering): "Alright would you like me to stay with him for the time being or is he not important to the deal?"
(33) Mitsuki: (whispering): "He's just a link to the family, I have already established contact with the second woman of the house. I just need the seal of a reputable fence in the Crane city."
(33) Mitsuki: the girl shakes her head, grimacing, "No and no to both. Some ninjas attacked the two of us and kidnapped someone I met yesterday." she grimaces again, trying to not move, "I think they broke some of my ribs."
(33) Mitsuki: she whispers back to the other dancer
(29) a dancer: "Hmm, that simply won't do you need medical treatment.. Come with us our clients know a spirit caller who might be able to aid you."
The men stop a bit in shock and look back and forth between themselves.
(33) Mitsuki: she nods her thanks, "yes please, this pain is horrible!"
(33) Mitsuki: looking at Yoshi, "you can come with us, or try to talk to your leaders. we need to try to find Sahato."
** (31) Yoshiaki looks over the others “these are the friends you were looking for?" **
(29) a dancer: "We are the flying swan dance group. I'm sure you've heard of us." she says with a smile... She slowly puts the chain away.
(33) Mitsuki: "yes, these are my companions, apparently I'm running late..." her grin turns into a grimace and wince
** (31) Yoshiaki looks them over again " well then i will see what i can find out I have a report to file any way . You need to get your wounds checked out " **
(33) Mitsuki: "well then where should I meet up with you later?"
(33) Mitsuki: "Sahato became my companion and I wish to see her again after all"
(29) a dancer: "Aww.. He is a man of duty how cute." she says is a playful voice and pinches Yoshiaki on the cheek as she helps Mitsuki.
(29) a dancer: "Well be at the golden theater. Come by once you’re done with your paper work." she says.
(31) Yoshiaki: “my place would be the easiest place to find me”
** (29) a dancer glances at the other dancer... "Alright." she says. **
** (33) Mitsuki starts limping off with the help of the other dancer, "well if you finish first, come to the theater, otherwise I will come to find you." **
** (31) Yoshiaki nods and heads off to file his report **
** (29) a dancer gives Mitsuki an odd look. **
(29) a merchant: "Ladies are we ready?" he says smiling but with a cautious tone.
(33) Mitsuki: with a tentative nod, the tattooed dancer moves on with the others
As the group splits again Yoshiaki heads to his guard station to report in.
** (31) Yoshiaki fills out his reports on the attack at the bathhouse and on the roofs **
** (29) a guard wanders over to Yoshiaki as he is writing the report.. "Hey umm, Yoshiaki how's it going." **
(31) Yoshiaki: " not well seems every one is interested in the same girl these days"
(29) a guard: "Yeah word round the office is you've got yourself some new companions..." he looks away a little he speaks.
(31) Yoshiaki: “yes and two different gangs have made a try for one of them in just as many days. This time they managed to make off with her”
** (29) a guard looks a little surprised.. "What in the world do they want with her? Is she a member of the clan?" **
(31) Yoshiaki: “no she is an outsider”
(29) a guard: "And has all this attention?" he comments.. "Something ain't right about this situation."
(31) Yoshiaki: “nothing is never what it seems”
(29) a guard: "You be careful Yoshiaki this stinks worse the poison bog on a warm day...” he says walking off.
** (31) Yoshiaki nods and goes back to his paper work **
(29) Evil DM: -=GAME END=- SESSION 4 (SAHATO TODAY GONE TOMORROW!!)
