Katsu saw that two of his fellow Dragons were fighting of the lions, and at close range combat. He was tempted to hurry back and help them out, but there were too many lions. He spotted three against the two of them. Hold them off for a while so that I can get some help. Please live...

OOC: I know I need to get back to home base, but how long will it take me to get there?

(As that JAD told me to go and skip speechless)

As Taken ducked the blow from his second attacker he spun on the ground and caught the uninjured lion who had yet to strike in the back of his ankle with his wakizashi. The blade hit at an odd angle and got caught in the man's armor, doing little damage, but the force still followed completely through, sweeping the man's legs out from under him. The bushi landed on his back a moment later, as Taken continued to spin while rising to his feet. This time he angle his katana up and slashed through the leg of the Lion who had been foolish enough to attack his throat.

His blade was a flash of light and blood as it cut cleanly through armor, bone, muscle, and tendon, severing the leg in a gout of blood which sprayed it's warm, thick nectar onto the combatants as it's ex-owner lost his balance, now being suddenly one leg short, and fell to the ground.

Taken finished the spin facing the last uninjured enemy who was still on his feet.

Sakuma moved from house to house destroying anything that could be used as a weapon. Yelling at peasants to "Submit under the power of the Lions or Forfeit your lives." It seemed to scare most of them enough that there wasn't too much resistance from them.
He went in one of the fields and pulled up an onion and took a bite. Thinking about what his next course of action will be.

.................................................. .................................................. ....


"Move it!" Shouted Sakuma having to pull a peasant from underneath some steps and actually through him into the road. "Just cooperate and you won't be harmed." Sakuma, Shenlong and Taiba started gathering all the villagers and moving them towards the center in a big group.

Two children hiding in a basket gave him some trouble. "Come on little ones." Sakuma said to the two of them has he lifted them both up one in each arm and carried them to join the others.

"If I knew I was going to have to do manual labor I would have stayed home" laughed Shenlong." as he forced another peasant out of his home while leading two others. Sakuma nodded without expression and continued working.

ooc: Ok I may have been dealing with a hurricane, but I will not accept that behavior from my role players delete your last post speachless. and try again

ooc:what are you talking about behavior? i followed takens lead..but w/e and seriously guys..its speechless, whered ya'll get speachless? anyway um..ill see if i can make a post that pleases you and doesnt kill me.

Tain dew came upon the fellow dragon and the last standing lion. He threw 2 knives and prepared to run or defend himself.

OOC: I'll tell you what you did wrong.

If you haven't been able to tell (Which you apparently haven't), this is a stat based RP. Notice that every time some one does something, combat related, Jad makes a post with a bunch of numbers in them. Then he tells the person if what they were doing succeeded or failed, and how much of it.

You on the other hand had your character jump into combat, instantly kill another PC, then do several more actions of combat all in one turn (1 action per turn).

Raiden and his associates were on the path back to the Hidden fortress. He walked through the cavern to find a squad of Lion soldiers One holding the banner of the Lion medium Elite.

Raiden drew his swords.

"You must be the Dragon Crane. We were told you lived in this area. The empress has given us her blessing. To stand against us you defy her will."

"Having met her divine highness personally I doubt she would see it that way."

"I am Ikoma Nimuro, Chui of the medium elite, slayer of Hida Toshiken, and Shiba Takuan. Standard Bearer of the medium elite."

"I am Mirumoto Raiden, Taisa of the Dragon Clan, Magistrate of the Emerald Empire."

Raiden resheathed his swords Nimuro planted his Standard. The two walked up to each other they fell into their iaijutsu stance. It soon becam apparent that Nimuro was far out classed. Nimuro however failed to see it. Raiden stayed in his stance.

A breathe blew some leaves between the two unmoving samurai. A sweat drop fell into Nimuro's eyes causing him to blink. (6 focuses Raiden declares strike TN 35 3+4=7 Nimuro misses. Raiden 18+18+11+5+5=57 Hit. Damage 25+8=33) Nimuro pulled his sword clean but not before Raiden sliced Through Nimuro's armor and pulled his sword from the ribs of his opponent. Nimuro fell over gasping for breath.

The Lion's readied their Yari. Raiden drew his wakizashi. He grimaced and sighed.

Taken continued to split his attention between the two remaining lion bushi, his katana striking out toward one, even while his wakizashi arched toward the other. Unfortunately his katana was easily deflected by the man's armor, but his wakizashi bit deeply into the arm of the other, releasing a splattering of blood across the valley floor. Taken stepped back after striking, preparing to dodge the attacks that were sure to come.

The Lion troops realized this warrior far out striped them. They held their ground but attempted to pull their injured ally. They kept their spears trained on the dragon samurai, Taken.

Sakuma looked at the frightened and tear filled eyes of the villagers of whom he rounded up. For a moment he thought what am I doing?. He dismissed it and continued. "Well I think that's the last of them" said Shenlong

Sakuma: "Yes I think I'll patrol the outter perimeters now. Join me?"

Shenlong: "All right." The two left the village and started to skim the outter boundaries for stragglers.
