Exalted Champloo - Episode 2 - "Like Spinning Plates"

[KaintheSeeker]

Swallow falters, stunned at the onslaught and pulls her new blade out as she turns her powers to keep ahead of the blades of the sharkmen that are attacking her.

OOC:
4 motes to Shadow over Water to defend against her attack.

 

[Tokiwong]

Tick 6

Swallow stays on the Defensive.

Swallow waits again and will act on Tick 10

Tick 7

The four shark-men on Dancing Snow fail to strike her as she neatly parries their attacks with her dire lance. Two that were on Swallow attack Temari and miss, and the Circle still evades attacks and I unharmed. They will act again on Tick 12.

Five of the marauding beast men turn on their wounded and begin viciously chewing at them halting their advance and the rest charge into the fray nearly surrounding Dancing Snow and Sand Rat pushing them back to back.

Sand Rat smirks, “I bet I can kill more men with my fists then you can with your pig-sticker…”

Tick 8

Sand Rat does a flurry of three attacks, using his First Martial Arts Excellency for 4 additional dice per attack costing him 6 essence total. His first attack on the wounded Shark man from last tick hits with 2 successes. Giving him a raw score of 6 and he does another wound level of damage to the warrior. He gets three successes on the second attack and takes that one down, and then hits another with 6 successes for raw damage of 10, doing 2 wound levels to that extra. He will act on Tick 13

Sand Rat suffuses his form with essence and strikes like a lethal viper with a flurry of knife hand strikes. Two blows drop another beast man as a backhand cripples another slavering thug trying to position behind him!

Tick 10

 

[KentArnold]

He growled as he hefted his lance quickly, "Must everything with you be about who is the better?"

He moved quickly, his lance spinning overhead as he quickly sidestepped over to help Swallow. His lance stops spinning as he swings it right through the chest of one, seeking to disembowel it.

He doesnt slow down, taking advantage of the momentum, continues the swing, and lunges forward, stabbing the next one unlucky enough to be close right in the face, seeking to split his head like an overly ripe watermelon.

OOC: Flurry, move(if needed) next to Swallow, attack her target, and then attack any other close ones(wounded preferred, but he's not picky).

Move does not count towards flurry, how many attacks is Alamar making?

 

[KentArnold]

Move does not count towards flurry, how many attacks is Alamar making?

Two, one against any target that's bothering Swallow, and another against any other nearby target(bothering Swallow or not). Rate is two, so that's the limit he can do with the weapon anyway.

 

[Aenion]

"Of course," Snow replies to Alamar, "You're on, but save your essence we're only warming up," she grins playfully at Sand Rat just as a latecomer slams into Ivory Rain, she diverts the force of the impact by sending flying overhead, following the airborne barbarian into a spin. She frees Ivory Rain and slashes its long orichalcum tip down across the back of one of the barbarians accosting Swallow. A quick slap on its haft allows the large spear to continue its path. Light as a twig in her hands, it snakes behind her back towards the barbarian who thought he could take advantage of her exposed back, impaling itself deep into his gullet. She allows the essence to guide her hands, parrying all attacks with lightning grace.

Post later today with results.

 

[KaintheSeeker]

Biting her lip nervously as she struggles to slash the attacker in front of her while her allies again save her bacon, Swallow silently prays to be able to actually do something. She was a skulker and coniver, what was she doing here in the midst of a melee of giants in the combat arts?

Tick 10

Swallow rolls 2 successes on 4 dice and fails to strike her opponent! Alamar rolls 8 successes on his first attack, getting a total of 10 raw damage after armor and kills another beast man! The second attack gets 6 successes and severely wounds the next Beast man putting it -3 to all actions! Alamar’s Two-Die Stunt succeeds.

Swallow swings her blade but the opponent she faces uses its wicked blade to parry her strike snarling at her through its shark teeth. Alamar whirls Chaos Reaver and lives up to its namesake and rips apart the two beast men, killing one and severely wounding the other!

Dancing Snow rolls 8 successes, and gets a total raw score of 20 damage after the armor reduction. Her second attack rolls 4 successes, but fails to hit. Her final attack nets 6 successes, giving her a total raw damage of 10, killing another beast man. Her Two-Die stunt succeeds!

Dancing Snow is like a whirlwind of death, she takes the life of a charging beast man and then her second strike is parried, but the final attack takes another wyld tainted life! She is surely the General of Heaven’s army… she is at the eye of a storm of carnage and death.

Tick 11

Temari may now act…

 

[KaintheSeeker]

Swallow grimaces as she is easily parried. "At least I'm good as a distraction." she mutters.
