[SBLOCK]*Zaeryn smiles as Valyssa licks the chocolate from his fingers, before reaching for another piece of the fruit which he dips and brings into Valyssa’s reach once again...continuing to alternate between the fruit and pastry for Valyssa, he occasionally takes a piece for himself, delighting in the looks of bliss that suffuses Valyssa’s face whenever he feeds her another piece.*[/SBLOCK]

"I understood, Yuriko-sama...if it comes down to it, leave me behind and save the children instead. I thank you for your aid, and I owe you a deep debt of honour..."

"I will leave no one behind, Shinoa," Yuriko cautioned. "Though I will take your words to heart, Shinoa."

Yuriko looked through the items of the house, assisting in making it ready to be abandoned for a while, and gathering anyhting that owuld be of use on the journey. When they were ready, Yuriko would be ready as well.*[/SBLOCK]

*Vanessa isn't really sure if there's anything she can do without giving herself away, but even so, she prepares to enter the fray if Kirkesh is in dire need.*

*Kirkesh slashes the flanking guard again, and this time her dagger pierces deeply into the guard's chest, causing him to go unconscious and begin bleeding to death.*

*His flanking partner cries in outrage and makes an attack that Kirkesh begins to dodge, sure that she has made it out of the way, but somehow it still manages to connect, just barely.*

*The other two guards swing towards Kirkesh but slice through only air, as the agile Swashbuckler dodges the two poorly-executed attacks with ease.*
(OOC:
Kirkesh's Dagger 17 + 8 = 25, hit.
Guard C takes 13 Damage and drops unconscious and dying.
Vanessa readies an action.
Guard B's attack 15 + 6 = 21, just barely pulls off a hit.
Kirkesh takes 7 Damage.
Guard D's attack 5 + 5 = 10, Miss.
Guard A's attack 2 + 5 = 7, Miss.
Kirkesh's turn.)

Kirkesh calls out "Tend to the fallen one, he's badly hurt. Stop his bleeding." He attacks in a defensive stance (-4 to hit, +3 AC due to Tumbling Synergy) guard B, who he is dodging, and then takes a 5 foot step back, to clear the fighting from the fallen guard.

[sblock]"Alrighty then, Amity," Diedrik says, "Book me in for a night, I'm headed off tomorrow afternoon."

He hands her some coinage to cover dinner and the night's accomodation.

"If things get too busy at any point, let me know and I'll give you a hand," he says as she returns to her customers.

Just finished the last job, so I guess I'm all geared up for the next. If there's anything I'm forgetting I'll remember it tomorrow.[/sblock]

Gaius:
[SBLOCK]
*The Pleb blinks once when Gaius pushes open the door and then nods.*

"Affirmative. I am 629N001, and I have come here to see you on behalf of my mistress."
[/SBLOCK]

[sblock]"Hmm" He sighs. "And wad does yor mistress want?" He asks as he enters the room and sits down, looking at the pleb suspiciously

Zaeryn:
[SBLOCK]
*Valyssa smiles at Zaeryn, savouring the chocolately sweetness of the dessert, but before long, it is all gone.*

"Mmm, that was a delicious meal--and so very exciting!" Valyssa says, hugging Zaeryn, "How did you like it, darling?"
[/SBLOCK]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Yuriko:
[SBLOCK]
*Eventually, Rin and Yu awaken, and Shinoa is all packed up to go. Rin fingers her throat in silent horror while Yu asks what happened to the kyuusetsuki, and Shinoa quietly hushes them.*

"Don't worry children. Yuriko-sama defeated the tainted one."

"All by herself?" Yu interrupts?, "Wow, Yuriko-sama, you're really brave and strong and stuff!"

"Shhh Yu, yes she beat it herself, and now she's going to take us on an exciting journey to the monastery in the mountains--and its going to be lots of fun, so just forget about kyuusetsukis, alright?"

"Oh boy!" Yu exclaims excitedly, "A real-life adventure!"

*Rin gazes quietly and shyly and does not reply.*

[SBLOCK]“It was amazing my love...wonderful food, and even more wondrous company!”

*He replies, embracing Valyssa tightly in return.*[/SBLOCK]

Yotsu Yuriko, Martial Artist

Rystil[sblock]*Yuriko eyed the young one, Rin, for a moment.* 'She remembers what happened,' Yuriko thought. 'I must endeavor to speak with her later . . . though I think I will set something up now.'

Yuriko gazed down at Rin, then knelt to her height. Her eyes softened and she offered, "You can talk to me about what happened, Rin. Anytime you want to, do you understand?"

Turning to Yu and his youthful exhuberance, Yuriko smiled and said, "You will soon find, Yu, that life is a constant 'real-life' adventure."

Once everything is taken care of at the house and the trio were ready to depart, Yuriko glanced at each of them, "Is everyone ready?"[/sblock]

 

[Rystil Arden]

Kirkesh:
[SBLOCK]
*Kirkesh watches all the guards carefully, protecting herself from attack while fighting defensively. Unfortunately, this causes her to almost lose control of her dagger completely in an awkward fumble as she tries to stab, but she manages to pull up in the nick of time.*

*Meanwhile, Vanessa moves through the opening Kirkesh created to Heal the guard and stop his bleeding.*

*The bullrushing guard waits as the one who freed the trapped guard takes advantage of the hole Kirkesh created as well, using it to get into a flanking position, and then the two attack together, but Kirkesh deftly avoids both of their swords as well as the attack coming from the newly freed guard.*

(OOC:
Yup IC still remembers you
Kirkesh's Dagger Natural 1 + 4 = 5, critical fumble chance.
Fumble Roll 14 + 3 = 17, not a fumble.
Vanessa's Heal check Natural 20 + 1 = 21, Guard C is stabilised.
Guard D's Attack 2 + 7 = 9, miss.
Guard B's Attack 3 + 8 = 11, miss.
Guard A's Attack 7 + 6 = 13, miss.
Kirkesh's turn again.)
