Legend of the Five Rings: Season of the Bandit; part 3

[Squishy Cheeks]

The peasant's rushed the fallen 7 and impaled them upon their spears and beat them till they were dead. Kambei tried to bring them to order, but they were men who had been pushed one to many times. Soon not a single one of the bandits lived.

Hideki was in the thick of all the combat, helping his 'soldiers' out and motivating them to move forward through the bandit forces at the same time. They were succeeding at first, but then several things happened at once. First, when he turned around to shout at those behind him, he turned around to see a spear heading straight for him. He wasn't able to move out of the way in time and took a full on hit to his thigh, the head of the spear snapping away from the rest of the spear and leaving a large piece of wood inside Hideki's line. After that, five bandits managed to break through his line, getting into the inner parts of the town. Cursing, he turned to fight any more who would dare try and enter, now with an obvious impairment.

And then the last thing happened. A duel with the surviving last bandit officer. It had gone as every duel had gone before. The usual, "Face me boy!" followed by his normal acceptance. And then something different happened. After Hideki sheathed his sword, the bandit smirked and started charging, sword out. With only moments before he would reach Hideki, the young duelist closed his eyes, searching inside himself to find strength to avoid what would seem like death in the eyes of a normal man. With his brief moment of concentration over, he opened his eyes and slashed. With everything he had in that one moment, his blade streaked across the bandit's body from his hip to his shoulder. After a moment, the two parts slid apart, organs and blood spilling out everywhere around the corpse.

"I win..." Hideki muttered as he went on to fight what was left of the bandits.

The Bandits raced into the center of town killing eight peasants with their swords on their way in. The skirted around the mob and broke into Three. groups. Two went to the east, Two to the north, and one to the west.

(I'm not sure if it's my turn to act, so if it's not I'll delete it)
Tenshi inhaled sharply, then charged after the sole bandit heading west. As soon as he was within range, he strikes with both weapons (full attack)

[Squishy Cheeks]

The bandit on horseback was to quick for the sodan senzo who only ended up striking the dirt.

(ooc: A.B.: you won initiative. IHMN: you lose initiative. I lost initiative.)

The Bandits riding east. Struck and killed two peasants. Magagumo leapt from hiding with his swinging chain. He lashed the nearest baqndit around the neck and pulled him head first into the wall. of one of the peasant's homes.

The peasants threw their weighted ropes at the other bandit who became entangled around his arm. He reigned his hore in and wheeled around to attack.

He raised his weapon to strike a peasant's head. only to find his body soon covered in ropes and being hit by swinging rocks. The peasants dragged him from his horse and began to beat him to death with their dropped spears, as he fought his entanglements.

Magagumo walked up to the knocked out bandit he pulled from his horse. He slashed the man's throat with his kama.

"Time to make up for my errors at the camp." Tsubasa said to herself and charged the bandit, her replacement Yari thrust at her opponent's chest.

OOC: Full Attack

Results: Tsubasa impaled the bandit on her Yari, and when trying to kick him off of her spear, it broke apart. Tsubasa tossed her end of the spear aside and searched for another replacement.

[Squishy Cheeks]

The peasant's attacked the other spearing him on the ends of their spears. The horseman fell over breaking their spears on their way down.

[Squishy Cheeks]

The Zenko's peasant's attacked the other spearing him on the ends of their spears. The horseman fell over breaking their spears on their way down. The bandit was soon trampled by his patner who moved to attack one of the peasants. His blade cleaved one of the peasants across the throat.

Hideki was still in the midst of everything, only now everything seemed like it was going in the right direction for them. The bandits were losing large amounts of numbers to the peasents and were beginning to flee. Not tensing up for one second, Hideki was still fighting those that remained, intending to end what was left of the threat while it remained.

[IHateMakingNames]

Zenko, being a hand to hand fighter, had very little chance against cavalry. He took a defensive stance, and was hoping he could grab the bandit's arm throw him from the horse when the bandit attacked him.
