Shards of Memory-Prologue: Fractured Union

[Keia]

Yotsu Yuriko, Martial Artist

Rystil [sblock]*Yuriko moved back and forth on the journey, mostly leading, sometimes directing Yu which way to head and bringing up the rear of the group. She kept her eyes open for danger, and for possible aid . . . the night would be difficult alone and with three others to look after.*

On the dinner break Yuriko ate quickly, then she spoke up, "I would like to close my eyes for about an hour. Please wake me in when the sun reaches that position in the sky." She indicated to each of them when she wanted awakened and how to tell when it was that time.

If allowed, Yuriko found a comfortable spot and reclined, resting. She worried over how she was going to watch over them all night, and still rest . . . this was perhaps a solution. A short nap before dusk and a nap late morning should be sufficient for her to keep watch for danger . . . and on the family.*

If she doesn't fall asleep in 15-20 minutes she will get up and start readying camp for the next journey of a couple of hours - no need wasting travel time.[/sblock]

(OOC: Another possibility that doesn't extend the length of the journey like that one is to have Yuriko press ahead of them at her faster movement speed and tell them to wake her up when they reach her, though that does leave them unwatched for a bit too)

*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.)

Kirkesh will take another 5' step in an attept to prevent a flank, sitll dodging B, and attacking him as well. She will still continue her defensive stance.

*Yuriko takes a short, light nap for an hour, until she is awakened by Shinoa.*

"It is the time you wished to be awakened, Yuriko-sama," the newly-young woman informs here, "Shall we continue now?"

(OOC: OK, sounds like you have this all planned out )

"It is the time you wished to be awakened, Yuriko-sama," the newly-young woman informs here, "Shall we continue now?"

*Yuriko blinked her eyes a couple of times, her mind cycling through where she was, who she was with, and what was going on. All of these things flashed in her mind quickly and was settled before she was done blinking awake.*

"Yes, Shinoa," Yuriko replied, standing up. She brushed her hands over her body, to clear the dirt and everything else off of her - but was really to be certain everything was in place as she had left it. She checked her pack to make certain everything was loaded appropriately (and still there), and pronounced herself ready to continue.

"Is everything and everyone ready to go, Shinoa? If so, we leave at once," Yuriko replied. "We will only have a few hours to go before it will be dark."

"Do you know why I napped now, Shinoa-sama?" Yuriko asked, gauging her expression. "It is because with the nap I hope to be able to stay awake longer this evening to watch over you and your children in the night. Hopefully, it will be enough."

OOC: Not completely planned out. I'm actually hoping to run into someone to help with this once we get closer to the monastery. But, first day was get as far as we could, short nap. Watch during the night. Rest after dawn for a couple hours. Travel ahead slightly, napping at lunch. Then ranging ahead and resting until then arrive. That evening stand watch again, and we'll see how it goes.[/SBLOCK]

Kirkesh:
[SBLOCK]
*Kirkesh stabs the bullrushing guard, dealing a glancing blow, as she deftly dodges all three swords once more and prepares another attack.*
(OOC:
15 + 4 = 19, hit.
Guard B takes 8 damage--minimum
8 + 8 = 16, miss
11 + 7 = 18, miss.
3 + 6 = 9, miss.
Kirkesh's turn.)
