The tetsubo blow that knocked Taken from his horse was a weak blow, only meant to get his attention. A samurai in black armor wearing a very demon like mempo. stepped out of the shadows. His eyes glowed an angry red. He wielded a massive Iron rod. He moved gracefully to the pool of water. Three wolves lay next to the water. their bodies broken. Their blood pooling in the stones.

"You must be Taken." A dark skinned shugenja said. "Sorry to not have met you on better circumstances I could have used someone like you. "

In front of him he held Mei in a kneeling position

"I thank you for bringing me a sacrifice to fu leng." He said gesuturing to Mei. "And she brought about the means of our escape from you and your friends." The Obsidian samurai grabbed Taken's horse and mounted it. The Shugenja forced Mei to mount hers and then he mounted behind her.

"Another time samurai." The Maho Tsukai called.

"TAKEN!" Mei called as she was dragged off toward the north.

Raiden and the others caught up with Kenren and the injured crane ronin.

"Where is Taken and Mei?"

Thunder peeled in the sky and snow began to fall.

OOC: I'll be on and off for a while, because I'm at camp, JAD can control my character while I'm gone.

BIC: Izumi looked up at the sky. There was no break in the clouds and the snow was getting rather heavy. "While finding our two comrades is a priority, it may prove difficult to pursue them in this storm. If the snow gets much higher the horses will have a hard time moving."

Raiden led the way. His katana was drawn, but his sword arm was sore. Soon thet came across Taken, he was battered from falling off his horse but otherwise alright. The snows were getting steadilly worse.

"There's a cave" Izumi said pointing at a cave near the hot springs. the path to the cave was rocky.

IHateMakingNames · 07-05-2004, 12:42 PM

Yoshi looked at the rocky path. "Will the horses be able to climb that?"

Squishy Cheeks · 07-05-2004, 12:45 PM

"Not easilly, but if we lead them up, maybe."

Krylo · 07-05-2004, 04:21 PM

Taken shook his head as he looked at the cave. "We can't. The Tsukai and a dark samurai took Mei and our horses after ambushing me. If we allow them to escape now, they'll make her a sacrifice to Fu Leng... and if we don't follow, their tracks will disappear in the storm."

Squishy Cheeks · 07-05-2004, 04:35 PM

"The tracks will be lost regardless, This is a blizzard. If we don't make it to that cave, we are as good as dead."

Raiden · 07-06-2004, 08:24 AM

"I'm for saving a damsel in distress as much as the next guy, but we aren't exactly in the best shape to go take on a demon and his samurai. My leg is out of commission until it's taken care of, and your arm isn't exactly the picture of health itself."

Dante · 07-06-2004, 08:39 AM

"It would seem I will have to bare Samehada in the coming conflict. Taken and Raiden cannot be expected to face those fiends alone."

Squishy Cheeks · 07-06-2004, 09:13 AM

ooc: Raiden I've consulted my books and guess what, you get a disadvantage that will take double points to buy back. You are now lame. You're a point short of losing the leg entirely.
