Kaoru hides a little smile. He has never taken the advanced teachings of master Jiem. Although, strangely or perhaps fittingly, the exercizes for being in balance with nature, and controlling the flow of him though his body in order to release it in a concentrated blast of energy had many things in common with what master Jiem teached to his martial students, everything that had to do anything with weapons was unexplored terrain for him. However he could understand, by a theoretical point of view, why such a similar teaching would make sense.

Grimacing, Kaoru winces. All this thinking about Master Jiem's teachings was not enough to distract him from the pain in his stomach, caused by the bandit's punch. Well, he had feared worse...but maybe the next bandits would be armed....[/sblock]

You leave the weaponmaster in the wall and get into the town. For what you can see, the houses are not destroyed or burned at all. There is a villager lying on the ground, with his neck broken. The man is clearly dead. You remember him as the town butcher. He holds a big meat knife in his right hand, but it obviously didn’t help him at all.
Down the road you see the escaping bandits, one attacking the baker, and the other struggling with her daughter. You can make perception rolls if you want, but it will take a wile to search the place or the corpse.

There is a map of the area in the map block on the OOC thread under the name “Smiling spring Town”[/sblock]

Ban Lu

[sblock=Voda]Ban Lu can contain himself no longer, he cries out as Master Kin Wu fades and then reaches for his Gun haltingly. He drops to his knees and bows before the Gun then picks it up carefully and holds it with awe. "Master Kin Wu, I am your humble servant and that of our great leader Glorious To. I shall go to seek Mastermind Tien, on the island of Singing Spring." Sitting in the Lotus position with the Gun across his knees under the Willow,Ban Lu tries to enjoy the feel of the breeze on his face and then slips briefly into meditation to attain a level of piece before returning to the temple. There he begins to pack his few belongings for a journey. He finishes off a mostly empty bottle of rice wine. Then he goes to tell the students they must seek enlightenment and wisdom without him. Without further delay he sets off.

OOC: Does Ban Lu know where to find the island of Singing Spring?[/sblock]

You tried to let your students go the faster and painless way, but seeing their master depart was not easy for them. You packed your belongings and in your way outside the school you are intercepted by a group of five villagers. One is the elder of the town, and seems to speak for the rest.
“Why? Why Master Ban Lu, you left us without your guide? Yu made many promises when you came here, and we shelter you in our temple to teach our young. And you did, but now you are leaving with half the task done. Tell us why, Why should we allow you to leave us so lightly?” he inquires, his face is severe and not friendly, neither are the faces of the other villagers.

[sblock=Leng Shen Kaoru]"Mei Fu!" Leng gasps. Immediately forgetting all talk of restraint or weaponry, he runs as fast as he can to the aid of the baker's daughter. And the baker, of course.[/sblock]

Shen frowns visibly as he sees the events unfolding...... this could be very, very bad. He shakes his head and charges. He wanted to beat Leng to this potential trap. He raises his gun to take a shot at the man holding the baker's daughter.

Action: If Leng is not close enough to charge, I will use Knight's Move (allows extra move action as a free action) to get him there quicker.

In case I can get there and attack:
Basic Attack on thug holding bakers daughter (1d20+7=12, 1d8+4=10)
(the roll has no mods from charging or anything, please add if needed)

Kaoru stares, dumbfounded, at the dead man. He knew the butcher, as he knows the baker: both of them helped him several times, teaching him how to cook meat, breath and sauces. He then stares at the bandits, and, without realizing what is going on, breaks in slow run with a lot of sidesteps. Green mists rise from the ground and envelop him, partially hiding him from sight. Eyes wide open and hypnotized, he points at the bandit holding the baker's daughter and murmurs "Die". The bands in his eyes is enveloped in red mist, and then a crackling bolt of energy forms in his hand. The ball of blue and green fire streaks madly and points towards the bandit.

[sblock=ooc]move actions: automatic 20% miss chance. minor action: warlock's curse. standard action: blast. 11 to hit wisdom, 14 damage[/sblock][/sblock]
