Everybody was kung-fu fighting

[Sierra]

<El-Cideon> Night falls. Preparations are made, some ascending to the tower, others casting spells. If Sayuri's right, it should only be a matter of time now.
<Erin> Erin draws up a circle in the centre of the room, and begins using both red and white chalk to sketch lines throughout the center. From somewhere, she's procured a wavy kris, which she uses to carefully carve scratches into the stone between the chalklines.
<Nadia_Chekova> "Well," Nadia sits up as she sees the darkening twilight outside. "I'd best go out. I'll either see you all after this is over, or never again depending on how good Sayuri's friends are," she notes with a blithe smile. "Good luck, everyone. If it sounds like you're having a really bad time in here I'll come to help, otherwise I'll stick to prowling the edges."
<El-Cideon> "Try not to die," Sayuri advises. "We haven't properly settled our disagreements yet."
<Erin> "Be careful yourself. Not all these ninja can be blind."
* Yomi waves. "No sense in saying our goodbyes, we'll see you soon enough."
<Nadia_Chekova> "I look forward to seeing what a ninja considers to be proper," Nadia gives Sayuri a jaunty wave before slinking out into the grounds.
<El-Cideon> OOC: jump to other room, describe your movements and/or position, roll hide if necessary, Nadia?
<El-Cideon> Sayuri watches Erin vandalize the floor as Nadia exits. "What are these arcane preparations you're making?"
<Erin> "A child's scribbles. I made my real preparations earlier," replies Erin. "But I thought I would give any onlookers something interesting to report back."
<El-Cideon> "Ah. Misinformation. It's always useful to sow confusion among the enemy, yes."
<Erin> "In reality, these kinds of circles are only used to summon demons," she continues, drawing a pair of inner pentagrams. "I trust we are still above that."
<Yomi> "Yes. Please don't," Yomi says brightly.
<El-Cideon> A single gunshot echoes from up above. Then, silence again.
<El-Cideon> OOC: spot, anyone inside.
<Erin> roll 1d20+16
* Hatbot --> "Erin rolls 1d20+16 and gets 23."12 [1d20=7]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+2 Sayuri's not that perceptive
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+2 Sayuri's not that perceptive and gets 22."12 [1d20=20]
<Yomi> roll 1d20
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 1d20 and gets 1."12 [1d20=1]
<Erin> Erin drops her chalk, and reaches for her telecomm orb. "What happened?" she asks, addressing the girls in the tower. She also glances to the west of the building, and nods. "We've got them peering at us from the west."
<El-Cideon> "Somebody ran up to the west side of the church," Lucia reports back. "Took a shot at them, then lost sight again."
<El-Cideon> More gunshots. Four of them sound, then stop. Lucia reports in again. "Somebody climbing onto the roof. East side. Shot 'em a couple times and they disappeared. Dunno if they fell or what."
<Erin> "If it's just one person, don't shoot them. Let them in," replies Erin. "Wait until they come in numbers."
<El-Cideon> "Should've told us that before," Lucia says. "Too late now. Well, maybe they're not dead yet." You can almost hear her shrug.

Outside:

<Nadia_Chekova> While watching the front door would be nice, there isn't as much cover as she'd like, so Nadia heads around to skulk in the graveyard. The ninjas are equally likely to see it as a good stealthy approach, so it should bear fruit...
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+18 hide
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+18 hide and gets 19."12 [1d20=1]
<El-Cideon> OOC: spot/listen?
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20 same for both
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20 same for both and gets 16."12 [1d20=16]
<El-Cideon> Nadia hears a gunshot from up on the tower, but then thing s are quiet again. No sight or sound of the enemy in her area just yet.
<Nadia_Chekova> No cries of pain... clearly they missed, so why not shoot again? Unless Lucia or Hazel executed the other one or Rena instantly. Curious, she decides to creep around closer to the front to get a look up there, sticking to the shadows.
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+18 move silently
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+18 move silently and gets 22."12 [1d20=4]
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+18 hide
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+18 hide and gets 20."12 [1d20=2]
<El-Cideon> OOC: crossing round east or west side, Nadia?
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d2
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d2 and gets 2."12 [1d2=2]
<Nadia_Chekova> OOC: West
<El-Cideon> OOC: spot again
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20 and gets 5."12 [1d20=5]
<El-Cideon> The area seems empty at the moment. Just weeds waving in the breeze.
* Nadia_Chekova looks up at the tower from this closer vantage to see what the girls are up to there!
<El-Cideon> They're looking down in your direction, actually!
<El-Cideon> OOC: roll listen/spot again
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20 and gets 11."12 [1d20=11]
<El-Cideon> A glance around the starlit yard doesn't show any intruders around you. You seem to be alone still.
* Nadia_Chekova isn't really sure what to make of this, so she decides to loop her way around the front of the church and then back up the east side to return to her earlier hideout in the graveyard.
<Nadia_Chekova> OOC: lets just assume I take 10 for hide/move silently from here on, 28
<El-Cideon> OOC: noted. Also spot/listen
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20 spot
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20 spot and gets 1."12 [1d20=1]
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20 listen
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20 listen and gets 12."12 [1d20=12]
<El-Cideon> You don't see anything, but--wait, someone or something thumps onto the ground just around the corner. When you know where to look...there they are, a dark-clad form leaning heavily against the wall, breathing heavily. Doesn't seem to have noticed you.
<Nadia_Chekova> Nadia does her dirty business, sneaking up behind the figure and abruptly grabbing their shoulder to spin them partially around and allow a knockout punch to the temple!
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+12
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+12 and gets 31."12 [1d20=19]
<El-Cideon> OOC: very hit
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 2d8+4 my own equivalent to sneak attack!
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 2d8+4 my own equivalent to sneak attack! and gets 10."12 [2d8=1, 5]
<El-Cideon> A *thump* as Nadia's fist knocks the intruder's head against the wall. They fall to a heap on the ground.
* Nadia_Chekova nods in satisfaction, not lingering to search the figure or anything as she proceeds to melt into the shadows once more and continue her lonely patrol...
<Nadia_Chekova> She does take a moment to drink her potion of delay poison, once away from the fallen ninja, however.
<El-Cideon> OOC: heading where now?
<Nadia_Chekova> OOC: continuing up the east side to the graveyard. I'll start just circling the church over and over

~

Inside:

<El-Cideon> There's a scream from upstairs now. Someone in pain.
<Erin> OOC: A guy or a girl?
<El-Cideon> OOC: woman's voice
<El-Cideon> Gunshots sound from upstairs. A *lot* of them.
<Yomi> "I'm heading up!" Yomi calls out to Erin, dashing towards the tower.
<Erin> "If there are too many, goad them back down the stairs!"
<El-Cideon> OOC: it'll take you a round or two to get up the stairs. Roll init for when you do?
<Yomi> roll 1d20+1
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 1d20+1 and gets 15."12 [1d20=14]
<Erin> Erin snaps her fingers, pushing her formidable intellect to yet greater heights!
<El-Cideon> Yomi arrives in the belfry amidst a frenzied scene--there are enemies on either side of Rena, stabbing at her with knives. A slight figure, right next to Yomi as she emerges, holds long, curved blades like the sort Sayuri described. The others wield short, triangular implements. Lucia and Hazel are in the other corners of the belfry, sniping at them.
<Yomi> First, then, Yomi must sunder those curved blades into useless scrap!
* El-Cideon changes topic to '6Yomi: 72/72, Nadia: 62/62, Erin: 58/58, Rena: 68/68 Ninja A> Hazel > Junko? > Lucia > Yomi > Ninja B > Rena'
<El-Cideon> The ninjas stab away at their chosen quarry, not taking notice of Yomi yet!
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+12
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+12 and gets 22."12 [1d20=10]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+12
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+7
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+12 and gets 26."12 [1d20=14]
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+7 and gets 17."12 [1d20=10]
<El-Cideon> roll 2d4+4
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 2d4+4 and gets 7."12 [2d4=2, 1]
<El-Cideon> Hazel fires back, trying to silence the more significant of the three attackers!
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+11
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+11 and gets 30."12 [1d20=19]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+6
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+6 and gets 15."12 [1d20=9]
<El-Cideon> roll 3d6+1 DT
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 3d6+1 DT and gets 13."12 [3d6=4, 6, 2]
<El-Cideon> A bullet takes the figure in the back; a grunt, in a woman's voice, as she stabs at Rena again!
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+12
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+12
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+12 and gets 26."12 [1d20=14]
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+12 and gets 25."12 [1d20=13]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+7
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+7 and gets 19."12 [1d20=12]
<El-Cideon> roll 2d4+2
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 2d4+2 and gets 5."12 [2d4=2, 1]
<El-Cideon> Lucia focuses on the same target!
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+9
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+9
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+9 and gets 21."12 [1d20=12]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+9
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+9 and gets 27."12 [1d20=18]
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+9 and gets 23."12 [1d20=14]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+4
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+4 and gets 10."12 [1d20=6]
<El-Cideon> roll 2d6+1
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 2d6+1 and gets 4."12 [2d6=2, 1]
<El-Cideon> Another glancing shot, not enough to bring her down. OOC: Yomi
<Yomi> And now, they'll see just how good of a ninja she is without her weapons! Yomi strikes twice, as fast as she is able to, confident in her knowledge that the Shishio can carve through any weapon ever made by mortal hands!
<Yomi> roll 1d20+20 sunder dagger1
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 1d20+20 sunder dagger1 and gets 26."12 [1d20=6]
<Yomi> roll 1d20+15 sunder dagger2
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 1d20+15 sunder dagger2 and gets 17."12 [1d20=2]
<El-Cideon> OOC: alas, both miss
<Yomi> OOC: 26 misses?
<El-Cideon> OOC: it's a small weapon and she's highly evasive
<El-Cideon> With alacrity that borders on precognition, the woman dodges Yomi's wild attacks, turning to face her now. "About time one of you showed herself."
<Yomi> "Normally, you would come in from the front door," Yomi says crossly. "But you don't seem to be that polite."
<El-Cideon> "You forfeited all claim to civility," she replies. "This is business now." Meanwhile, the third ninja backs Lucia into a corner and shoots at her, while Rena tries to swing at Junko!
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+12 stabbing, not shooting!
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+12 stabbing, not shooting! and gets 30."12 [1d20=18]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+12 stabbing, not shooting!
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+12 stabbing, not shooting! and gets 16."12 [1d20=4]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+7
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+7 and gets 26."12 [1d20=19]
<El-Cideon> roll 2d4+4
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 2d4+4 and gets 9."12 [2d4=3, 2]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+11 Rena
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+11 Rena and gets 29."12 [1d20=18]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+11 crit?
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+11 crit? and gets 25."12 [1d20=14]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+6 no crit, alas
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+6 no crit, alas and gets 20."12 [1d20=14]
<El-Cideon> roll 2d6+6
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 2d6+6 and gets 12."12 [2d6=1, 5]
<El-Cideon> Lucia takes a couple stabs in the chest, while Rena takes advantage of Junko's distraction to hack away at her side!

Outside:

<El-Cideon> OOC: spot/listen
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20 spot
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20 spot and gets 11."12 [1d20=11]
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20 listen
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20 listen and gets 6."12 [1d20=6]
<El-Cideon> You find someone as you work around to the front door--not making any major effort to hide. Indeed, they seem distracted, kneeling down to work at the lock on the door.
<Nadia_Chekova> Creeping up to this new arrival, Nadia grabs his head and bashes it against the door!
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+12
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+12 and gets 21."12 [1d20=9]
<El-Cideon> OOC: hit
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 2d8+4
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 2d8+4 and gets 12."12 [2d8=4, 4]
<El-Cideon> *smack* The figure reels, grunting softly (sounds like a woman this time), staggers upright and readies herself for battle! OOC: init
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+7
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+5
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+7 and gets 14."12 [1d20=7]
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+5 and gets 11."12 [1d20=6]
* Retrieving #Churchyard modes...
* El-Cideon changes topic to 'Nadia > Ninja'
<El-Cideon> OOC: your go
<Nadia_Chekova> Nadia's foot arcs up to batter the ninja in the side before she issues a punch to the chest to try and bring her down!
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+12
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+12 and gets 16."12 [1d20=4]
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+7
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+7 and gets 10."12 [1d20=3]
<El-Cideon> But she's too quick for Nadia this time, leaping back and away!
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+16 tumble
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+16 tumble and gets 19."12 [1d20=3]
<El-Cideon> OOC: haha. AoO?
<Nadia_Chekova> Nadia's foot lashes out for another kick as the ninja cartwheels directly into it to amplify its effect!
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+12
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+12 and gets 24."12 [1d20=12]
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d8+2
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d8+2 and gets 4."12 [1d8=2]
<El-Cideon> Another grunt as Nadia kicks the retreating figure. Once twenty feet away, she draws a strange contraption of weighted rope from the pack at her side. OOC: you again
<El-Cideon> Nadia gets a call through the orb as she fights. this probably isn't the time to answer such, though!
<Nadia_Chekova> "One!" Nadia calls verbally, not taking the time to use the orb and instead leaping forward with a flying roundhouse kick at the ninja's head!
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+12
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+12 and gets 21."12 [1d20=9]
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d8+2 if it hits
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d8+2 if it hits and gets 6."12 [1d8=4]
<El-Cideon> Another quick dodge. The woman tries to dart away again--
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+16 tumble
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+16 tumble and gets 18."12 [1d20=2]
<El-Cideon> OOC: haha
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+12 die
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+12 die and gets 20."12 [1d20=8]
<El-Cideon> OOC: Hatebot
<El-Cideon> --the woman rolls to her feet ten feet away, whirls the strange weapon forward, and throws it!
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+12 BOLAS
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+12 BOLAS and gets 16."12 [1d20=4]
<Nadia_Chekova> OOC: AC 21
<El-Cideon> But it merely flies off into the darkness. OOC: go
* Nadia_Chekova just shakes her head and continues their silent battle, rushing forward and lowering her body as she advances with her elbow to drive painfully into the ninja's stomach with all her momentum!
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+14 charge~
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+14 charge~ and gets 32."12 [1d20=18]
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d8+2 tauntbot
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d8+2 tauntbot and gets 6."12 [1d8=4]
<El-Cideon> The woman staggers a little, then draws a small, spherical object from her pouch and hurls it at the ground between you. A cloud of smoke erupts from it, spreading five feet in every direction, enveloping both of you! OOC: you are in a smoke cloud. Have fun!
* Nadia_Chekova translates her momentum into an uppercut before retreating out of the smoke cloud!
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+12
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+12 and gets 26."12 [1d20=14]
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d100 presumably miss chance?
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d100 presumably miss chance? and gets 19."12 [1d100=19]
<El-Cideon> OOC: miss chance nerfed it. :(
<El-Cideon> Nadia merely succeeds in moving some smoke around. There's no counterattack...her enemy seems to have backed away.
<Nadia_Chekova> Not really the quick knockout she'd hoped for - the first ninja must have already been wounded if this is the standard. Not wanting to stick around further, Nadia flees into the shadows and advances up the west side of the church to resume her hidden patrol.
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+18 hide
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+18 hide and gets 27."12 [1d20=9]
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+18 move silently
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+18 move silently and gets 27."12 [1d20=9]

Inside:

<El-Cideon> Down in the church, Erin can hear a *thump* echo from the front door.
<Erin> Erin flicks another finger, and a shimmering circle of sparkles transforms her from a brown-haired irishwoman to a black-haired japanese swordswoman. "Nadia, are they at the front?" asks Erin, speaking through the orb.
<El-Cideon> Rena's the focus of another assault as Hazel sidles next to Lucia to try and shoot past Yomi at Junko!
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+12
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+12 and gets 20."12 [1d20=8]

* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+6 and gets 21."12 [1d20=15]
<El-Cideon> Bullets fly through the air, striking nothing, as a growing pool of green blood stains the belfry's planks around Rena.
<El-Cideon> Junko lashes out at Yomi, a whirl of flashing steel!
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+12

<Yomi> "Shoot her!" Yomi calls out at the sight of the spreading pool of green blood. "Quickly, with those weird bullets you have!"
<El-Cideon> Lucia nods, loads up a new clip, and takes aim at Rena!
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+11
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+11

* El-Cideon changes topic to '6Yomi: 59/72, Nadia: 62/62, Erin: 58/58, Rena: 24/68 Ninja A> Hazel > Junko? > Lucia > Yomi > Ninja B > Rena'
* Yomi refuses to believe that Shishio can be thwarted by any mortal weapon, and continues her assault on Junko's curved daggers!

* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 2d6+10 sunder x2! and gets 16."12 [2d6=3, 3]
<El-Cideon> Both of Junko's knives shatter to tiny fragments of metal, *tinking* quietly as they fall to the ground. "What--how dare you!" she snarls through her mask.
<El-Cideon> Another ninja continues attacking Lucia, as Rena stubbornly insists on trying to bring Junko down!

* Yomi smiles grimly. "I can't say this is business. Surrender, and avoid a fate worse than death."
<El-Cideon> "I doubt you have the imagination to implement such a thing. We'll have to educate you instead!" she challenges, as her companion continues hacking at Rena. Hazel slots in another clip and tries to gun down Junko some more.

<El-Cideon> Junko takes a bullet in the shoulder. Grunting, she turns to try and escape, climbing down the side of the tower. OOC: AoOs from Yomi/Rena here
* Yomi narrows her eyes. "Then we'll just have to show you a hell on earth, before you go to the real one," she declares, trying to cut the ninja down.
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+11 Rena

* Yomi takes a step forward, seeking to further reduce the numbers of ninja harrassing Rena.
<Yomi> roll 1d20+16 B!
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 1d20+16 B! and gets 36."12 [1d20=20]
<Erin> "Where?"
<Yomi> roll 1d20+16 B?!
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 1d20+16 B?! and gets 34."12 [1d20=18]
<El-Cideon> OOC: very crit
<Yomi> "Outside! She slipped outside!" Yomi calls out, cleaving through one of Rena's opponents.
<Yomi> roll 4d6+20
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 4d6+20 and gets 39."12 [4d6=6, 5, 2, 6]
<Erin> "There's a lot of that..." mutters Erin, striding forward towards one of the front windows and peering out. OOC: Darkvision go!
<El-Cideon> Distracted, the ninja doesn't have time to dodge Yomi's attack in time. Blood and viscera spill forth as she gasps in shock and pain, barely standing!
<El-Cideon> Erin sees a figure drop down the last few feet from the wall onto the ground, bleeding heavily.
* Yomi follows through with her attack, seeking to destroy the ninja's weapon and the remnants of her fighting spirit!
<Yomi> roll 1d20+15 sunder
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 1d20+15 sunder and gets 22."12 [1d20=7]
<El-Cideon> But Yomi's follow-up attack misses, the blades being smaller targets than the woman herself.
<Erin> Erin pushes the window open and points at the figure outside. "You are so pitiable..." she mutters, shaking her head in disgust. OOC: Hold person, will vs. DC 19
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+8 will
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+8 will and gets 11."12 [1d20=3]
<El-Cideon> Junko freezes in place, frozen in mmidstride outside the front door!
<Erin> "There is a paralyzed ninja beside the front door. Please take care of her, Nadia. It will only last for moments," replies Erin, scanning outside for any more threats before returning to the centre of the room.

Outside:

<El-Cideon> OOC: spot?
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20 and gets 16."12 [1d20=16]
<El-Cideon> A glance up shows a trio of figures on the west wall--climbing a wall doesn't give them much ability to hide themselves. They're about fifteen feet up, working loose panels of the windows there. No one seems to have noticed Nadia.
<Nadia_Chekova> Unfortunately Nadia lacks much in the way of ranged implements... but then she hears Erin's words and decides that takes priority, creeping back around to the front to deal with the new situation.
<El-Cideon> Nadia finds a bloodied, battered ninja standing lock still outside the door, as if frozen in place!
<Nadia_Chekova> Coming up behind the frozen ninja, Nadia chops harshly at her neck!
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 3d8+6 autocrit plus my knockout punch feat for an unware foe works out to x3?
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 3d8+6 autocrit plus my knockout punch feat for an unware foe works out to x3? and gets 17."12 [3d8=4, 6, 1]
<El-Cideon> A grunt seems to be the most response Junko can make right now. Her eyes flutter a bit...but she seems still conscious.
* Nadia_Chekova continues battering the woman about the face and neck until she goes down!
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+12 I'll just do full attacks, sure
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+12 I'll just do full attacks, sure and gets 32."12 [1d20=20]

<El-Cideon> OOC: roll for totally academic damage!
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 4d8+8 a doubled knockout punch for attack 1 and a regular attack for the second
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 4d8+8 a doubled knockout punch for attack 1 and a regular attack for the second and gets 28."12 [4d8=6, 4, 8, 2]
<El-Cideon> She slumps over, the magic keeping her held up for a just a moment before she collapses entirely.
<Nadia_Chekova> "That's her down! There's three at the West window!" Nadia calls over for Erin, circling stealthily to the East now in case others are trying to infiltrate that way.
<Erin> "I see them," replies Erin, returning to the center of the circle, and preparing to enmesh the new entrance to the ceiling in sticky webs as soon as they try to break through!

~

Inside:

<El-Cideon> The wounded ninja tries to follow her leader's example and slip down the wall to the roof of the church! OOC: AoOs
<El-Cideon> OOC: spot, Erin

<El-Cideon> A smack to the side of the head with Yomi's sword, and the woman collapses. Rena moves in to try and finish the last of them.
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+11
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+11 and gets 18."12 [1d20=7]

* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 2d6+6 Rena's not allowed to make crits :( and gets 10."12 [2d6=1, 3]
<El-Cideon> Despite a gaping slash to the side, this last ninja seems determined to at least take out one for before falling, stabbing away at Rena!
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+12
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+12
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+7

<Yomi> "I admire your persistence, long after your leader abandoned you," Yomi admits. "It would not change the outcome, however."
<El-Cideon> Hazel plugs away at the remaining enemy.
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+11
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+11 and gets 24."12 [1d20=13]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+6

* El-Cideon changes topic to '6Yomi: 59/72, Nadia: 62/62, Erin: 58/58, Rena: 32/68 Ninja A> Hazel > Lucia > Yomi > Rena'
<Yomi> The situation does not seem so dire that Yomi feels a need to go all out, and she attempts to bring the remaining ninja down peacefully.
<Yomi> roll 1d20+12 nonlethal
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 1d20+12 nonlethal and gets 28."12 [1d20=16]

<El-Cideon> OOC: whiff
<Yomi> roll 2d6+10
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 2d6+10 and gets 16."12 [2d6=1, 5]
<El-Cideon> A dull clang as the blade whaps the ninja in the side of the head. She still stands, though tottering distinctly. Rena isn't so forgiving as Yomi and tries to bring her down for good!
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+11
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+11 and gets 28."12 [1d20=17]

* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 6d6+18 okay so she is allowed to make crits and gets 38."12 [6d6=6, 1, 3, 3, 5, 2]
<El-Cideon> A shrill cry of pain, and the ninja falls onto a pool of her own blood. She's breathing still, it looks like, but fading.
<El-Cideon> OOC: free act here.
* Yomi gets out her telecom orb and asks, "Suzume, could you come to the tower? We could use you here."
<Erin> "Suzume, your services are required in the tower. Protect yourself with sanctuary- we're expecting people from the roof," replies Erin, quietly.
<Yomi> "Are you alright?" Yomi asks those in the tower with her. "We won't get that much time to recover, so better use it while we can. Rena, you've got one of the healing potions, don't you?"
<El-Cideon> No action from the windows yet, Erin sees. Suzume pops out of the trapdoor, takes a worried look around, then hustles up the stairs to the belfry.
<El-Cideon> Rena is pretty badly shredded, her back and abdomen lacerated and pierced with bleeding wounds. She remains as stoic as always, thoug. "Yes," she says simply, producing the potion and downing it.
<El-Cideon> roll 4d8+7 you gave her cure critical, I believe?
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 4d8+7 you gave her cure critical, I believe? and gets 27."12 [4d8=5, 3, 6, 6]
* El-Cideon changes topic to '6Yomi: 59/72, Nadia: 62/62, Erin: 58/58, Rena: 59/68 Ninja A> Hazel > Lucia > Yomi > Rena'
<El-Cideon> "I've had worse," Lucia says with a shrug. "Of course," she adds as Suzume appears, "I wouldn't complain if someone wanted to patch me up."
<Yomi> "Got more of Suzume's bullets left?" Yomi asks Hazel and Lucia. "I would shoot myself, but we all best stick to what we know."
<El-Cideon> "Yeah, I guess," Lucia says. "Don't move."
<El-Cideon> roll 1d8+5 assuming autohit as Yomi's surely not dodging
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d8+5 assuming autohit as Yomi's surely not dodging and gets 9."12 [1d8=4]
* El-Cideon changes topic to '6Yomi: 68/72, Nadia: 62/62, Erin: 58/58, Rena: 59/68 Ninja A> Hazel > Lucia > Yomi > Rena'
<El-Cideon> Lucia shakes her head as Yomi's stab wounds partially heal. "Damnedest thing I've ever seen, healing someone with a gun. Need more?"
<Yomi> "Better save it for Rena and yourselves." She turns towards Suzume. "I'll get down and support Erin. Can you defend this place with the others for now?"
<El-Cideon> Suzume nods, kneels to take a look at the fallen ninjas. "Hey Rena," you hear Lucia say as you descend. "I'm gonna shoot you in the head. Stay still."
* Yomi wishes she could see this, as amused as Lucia is by the magical bullets, but they're still being attacked and so she returns towards the main area.
<El-Cideon> roll 1d8+5 healz
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d8+5 healz and gets 12."12 [1d8=7]
* El-Cideon changes topic to '6Yomi: 68/72, Nadia: 62/62, Erin: 58/58, Rena: 68/68 Ninja A> Hazel > Lucia > Yomi > Rena'
<El-Cideon> Yomi finds Erin and Sayuri loitering in the center, still undisturbed by events.
<Yomi> "It's still quiet here?" Yomi asks, channeling holy power into the Shishio now that it is drawn.
<Erin> "Hello, me," replies Erin-Yomi, turning back to her identical twin. "It seems like things have happened everywhere but here, in fact."
<Yomi> "Right. What about Junko? Did you get her?"

Outside:

<El-Cideon> OOC: spot, Nadia
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20 and gets 2."12 [1d20=2]
<El-Cideon> Nadia doesn't find anyone patrolling the eastern churchyard.
<Nadia_Chekova> Her circuit continues onwards...
<El-Cideon> OOC: spot again
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20 and gets 1."12 [1d20=1]
<El-Cideon> Nadia works around the graveyard, passes along the western side again, doesn't see anyone. All clear here, yep!
* Nadia_Chekova continues looping stealthily around the church, taking a look on the West side to see how the three windowbreakers are doing but not intending to interfere unless things look bad for her friends.
<El-Cideon> They're loitering up there, sitting on the windowsill as if waiting for something.
<El-Cideon> OOC: spot one more time!
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20 and gets 15."12 [1d20=15]
<El-Cideon> There's someone out in the field there...maybe sixty feet away, keeping an eye on the wall-crawlers. Big fellow, standing by himself.
<Nadia_Chekova> So boring. Nadia almost wishes she had that old tommy gun she dropped somewhere in Africa so she could spur them into action. Well, she'll let them be for now, continuing to encircle the church. Spotting the large gentleman, she spares a moment to employ the telecom orb. 'I think Daichi is out on the Western side. I'm going to try and goad him into chasing me so our gunners can shoot down at him,' she sends, before creeping towards him.

~

Inside:

<El-Cideon> "Somebody's standing in the field out to the west," Hazel calls down through the orb. "Some big lunk. Just watching the church. Should we shoot him? It'd be hard at this range."
<Erin> "Nadia's spotted him too. She's going to lure him closer to the tower," replies Erin.
<Erin> "That Daichi fellow is making himself known on the outskirts," adds Erin, glancing at Yomi. "I'll go to the window and try to catch him myself," she adds, starting to walk back towards the front, although she stays out of the window's path for the moment.
<El-Cideon> "Did you just leave Junko lying outside?" Sayuri wonders. "You should have brought her in before they could retrieve her. Hopefully she's still there."
<Yomi> "Weren't you here?" Yomi chides, already moving towards the front door.
<El-Cideon> She's still out there. And soon, so is Nadia!
<Erin> And soon, Erin is looking outside!
* Yomi is quite ready for whoever is on Nadia's heels!
<El-Cideon> Soon enough, that individual becomes apparent, a big man charging after Nadia!

Outside:

* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+18 hide and gets 23."12 [1d20=5]

<El-Cideon> About thirty feet away, his head turns in Nadia's direction and his gaze fixes on her. He breaks into motion instantly, eating up the distance. OOC: init
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+7

<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+2

* El-Cideon changes topic to 'Nadia > Daichi'
<El-Cideon> OOC: lucky! Go.
<Nadia_Chekova> Alas, now spotted, Nadia has little to do but straighten up, blow him a kiss, and then run towards the base of the tower so that her friends can get clear shots at him!
<El-Cideon> roll 2#1d20+4 I'll deal H&L in here since they're shooting at him
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 2#1d20+4 I'll deal H&L in here since they're shooting at him and gets 26."12 [2#1d20+4 = 19, 7]
<El-Cideon> The big man charges after Nadia, closing to thirty feet again.
* El-Cideon changes topic to 'Hazel > Nadia > Lucia = Daichi'
* Nadia_Chekova stops at the base of the tower in a defensive stance, her limbs loose and limber to move with the graceful and elaborate styles of the shaolin kung fu she learned from Chinese acrobats, in contrast to the ninjas brutally efficient economy of motion!
<Nadia_Chekova> OOC: total defence

<El-Cideon> roll 2d6 first one hits!

<El-Cideon> A grazing shot is all Hazel can manage atthis range, though. OOC: Erin
<Erin> The window slides open once again, and Erin's accusing finger points out at the onrushing man-bull charging towards Nadia!
<Erin> OOC: Hold Person once more, for luck, DC 19 again
<Erin> OOC: And I'll so surge if it fails
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+8 will
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+8 will and gets 27."12 [1d20=19]
<El-Cideon> He seems unaffected by Erin's spell, however, still barreling onwards!
<Erin> Erin's pointer retracts, soon replaced by her incisive middle-finger! OOC: Surging for bonus action stuff
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+8 will again
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+8 will again and gets 20."12 [1d20=12]
<El-Cideon> OOC: doublewhiff. Nadia, just on defense?
<Nadia_Chekova> OOC: yep
<Erin> "This one's mind is stubborn!" declares Erin, clenching her fist.
<Erin> "Suzume, get him, before he gets Nadia!"
<El-Cideon> OOC: total AC under that? Will soon be relevant!
<Nadia_Chekova> OOC: 27, 28 vs melee
<El-Cideon> From above, Lucia pulls off a few stray shot.
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+11-4 her gun has slightly less crappy range

<El-Cideon> Bullets slam into the turf as Daichi charges, leaps, and unleashes a flying kick at Nadia's face!
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+21
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+21 and gets 22."12 [1d20=1]
<El-Cideon> With a tremendous impact, the wood of the door behind Nadia's head shudders from the blow as Daichi misses his mark! OOC: Yomi
<Yomi> This is not a foe Yomi can relax against! This is where she should pull all the stops! Throwing the door open, she cuts off Daichi's retreat and then slashes at the tendons on his legs!
<Yomi> roll 1d20+19
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 1d20+19 and gets 25."12 [1d20=6]
<Yomi> roll 1d20+19 surge
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 1d20+19 surge and gets 33."12 [1d20=14]
<Yomi> roll 2d6
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 2d6 and gets 11."12 [2d6=5, 6]
<El-Cideon> OOC: both hit
<Yomi> roll 4d6+22
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 4d6+22 and gets 32."12 [4d6=4, 1, 1, 4]
<El-Cideon> Her staggers in place, taken by surprise here and pinned between Yomi and Nadia! Not to mention the gunners above--
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+12-12 and now he's in melee and Hazel has to deal with Elusive Target
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+12-12 and now he's in melee and Hazel has to deal with Elusive Target and gets 4."12 [1d20=4]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+7-12
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+7-12 and gets 15."12 [1d20=20]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+7-12 haha crit?
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+7-12 haha crit? and gets 8."12 [1d20=13]
<Yomi> "You get the same chance to surrender as everyone else," Yomi declares, flicking her blade clean. "Just one chance, and then your life is forfeit."
<El-Cideon> Bullets kick up dirt and grass around the group, hitting no one. "One chance is all I need!" the man challenges. OOC: Erin
<Yomi> "Ah, then you are surrendering?"
<El-Cideon> He just laughs.
<Yomi> "They never do."
<Erin> It seems just one or two fingers won't get it- this time, Erin gestures with her entire hand!
<El-Cideon> roll 2d6 belated damage from 20 roll
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 2d6 belated damage from 20 roll and gets 7."12 [2d6=4, 3]
<Erin> OOC: It is the holding, again!1 man I blew through them fast
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+8 will again
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+8 will again and gets 25."12 [1d20=17]
<El-Cideon> But he remains steadfast in his determination, even as a stray bullet from above nicks him. OOC: Nadia
* Nadia_Chekova steps into his guard punches at his hip to throw him off balance and hopefully bruise a kidney before she jumps back and up to gain some clearance for an acrobatic high kick!
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+12
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+12 and gets 31."12 [1d20=19]
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+7
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+7 and gets 12."12 [1d20=5]
<El-Cideon> OOC: one hit
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d8+2
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d8+2 and gets 3."12 [1d8=1]
<El-Cideon> Nadia's fist thumps into his back. It'll take more than that to stop him, though--there's a lot of muscle there, you can tell. More bullets rain from above--
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+11-8
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+11-8
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+11-8 and gets 15."12 [1d20=12]
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+11-8 and gets 8."12 [1d20=5]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+6-8
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+6-8 and gets 16."12 [1d20=18]
<El-Cideon> --quite ineffectually! As Daichi turns to focus on Yomi. "My men can deal with the other gnats here. You--you deserve my full attention!"
<El-Cideon> roll 2d6 AP, result gets added to all attacks this round
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 2d6 AP, result gets added to all attacks this round and gets 10."12 [2d6=5, 5]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+17
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+17
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+17 and gets 22."12 [1d20=5]
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+17 and gets 23."12 [1d20=6]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+12
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+12 and gets 19."12 [1d20=7]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+7
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+7 and gets 22."12 [1d20=15]
<Yomi> "What's left of them," Yomi responds, steeling herself.
<El-Cideon> OOC: wow, bothate. Anything even hit there?
<Yomi> OOC: My ac is 23. So, uh, does the +5 get added to those results?
<El-Cideon> OOC: nope, gets added to damage on hits
<El-Cideon> OOC: which he only got one of!
<El-Cideon> roll 1d10+11 damage
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d10+11 damage and gets 12."12 [1d10=1]
* El-Cideon changes topic to '6Yomi: 57/72, Nadia: 62/62, Erin: 58/58, Rena: 68/68 Ninja A> Hazel > Lucia > Yomi > Rena'
<El-Cideon> Of the blinding assault of fists that lash out at Yomi, only one connects--that's quite enough, though! It's like a battering ram driving into her chest.
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+2 Suzume init
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+2 Suzume init and gets 19."12 [1d20=17]
* El-Cideon changes topic to 'Hazel = Suzume > Erin > Nadia > Lucia = Daichi > Yomi'
<El-Cideon> From above, an arcane cry rings out, as someone up in the tower tries a spell on Daichi!
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+8 will?
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+8 will? and gets 18."12 [1d20=10]
* Yomi grunts, pushed back with the hit. "You fools didn't keep a proper eye on Fukui, got blindsided like amateurs and then decided to blame us for your failures? It's just as well your clan ends here tonight!" Not deterred by his attack, Yomi strikes back at Daichi to bring him down and out of the fight!
<El-Cideon> But he holds fast, as yet more bulets rain down.
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+12-12
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+12-12 and gets 20."12 [1d20=20]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+7-12
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+7-12 and gets 13."12 [1d20=18]
<El-Cideon> roll 2d6 what is with the 20s, Hazel
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 2d6 what is with the 20s, Hazel and gets 8."12 [2d6=3, 5]
<El-Cideon> A bullet bores into his shoulder. He's flagging some by this point, notably bloodied. OOC: Erin
<Yomi> roll 1d20+19
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 1d20+19 and gets 36."12 [1d20=17]
<El-Cideon> OOC: strike! It's Yomi's action. FailCid.
<Yomi> roll 1d20+14
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 1d20+14 and gets 19."12 [1d20=5]
<El-Cideon> OOC: one hit.
<Yomi> roll 1d20+19 surge
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 1d20+19 surge and gets 20."12 [1d20=1]
<Yomi> roll 2d6 second
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 2d6 second and gets 9."12 [2d6=5, 4]
<El-Cideon> OOC: two hits, then
<Yomi> roll 4d6+22
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 4d6+22 and gets 35."12 [4d6=4, 6, 1, 2]
<El-Cideon> Torn horribly by Yomi's flashing blade, he falls to his knees, then topples face forward onto the ground! OOC: free act for the moment.
* Nadia_Chekova grins at having felled the giant without taking a scratch... not that she did much. "As always, Yomi, your skill at violence is second to none," she gives her friend a nod. "I'll keep on circling around, you better watch for the attaack through the windows."
<Erin> Erin is halfway reaching for her gun, and she pauses when the man drops. Not for long, however- she switches clips with mechanical efficiency, and then steps out behind Yomi. "Hold still," she instructs.
<Yomi> "Holding."
<El-Cideon> "Drag them inside this time," Sayuri suggests. "At least we know where they are that way."
<Erin> As she fires the healing lead into Yomi, Erin finds herself questioning the need for actual physicians when options like this are open to her.
* Nadia_Chekova doesn't protest a sensible suggestion, even if it came from Sayuri, and starts hauling the far smaller Junko inside. "They must think we're such a pack of traitors," she remarks casually as Erin lines up a shot on Yomi.
<Erin> roll 1d8+5 healz!
* Hatbot --> "Erin rolls 1d8+5 healz! and gets 12."12 [1d8=7]
<Erin> roll 1d8+5 healz!1
* Hatbot --> "Erin rolls 1d8+5 healz!1 and gets 9."12 [1d8=4]
* El-Cideon changes topic to '6Yomi: 72/72, Nadia: 62/62, Erin: 58/58, Rena: 68/68 Ninja A> Hazel > Lucia > Yomi > Rena'
<Yomi> Agreeing with Sayuri in principle, Yomi starts bringing the giant back in once Erin helps her recover.
<Erin> "Mmm. Perhaps they will think twice before assaulting people who appear to shoot each other for fun and come out no worse for the wear," suggests Erin, reaching out to take Daichi's pulse.
<El-Cideon> He's alive, it seems. In very bad shape, but the cuts he has don't seem quite enough to kill him.
<Nadia_Chekova> Once she's got Junko just past the alcoves and into the main hall, Nadia heads back out. "I'll keep on patrolling. Not sure what they're waiting for out there," she points to the West window with a mutter.
<Erin> "Very precise, Yomi," notes Erin, gingerly starting to drag him back inside.
<Yomi> "I tried," Yomi responds, taking a position by the half-opened front door and using it for cover.
<El-Cideon> OOC: spot, anyone in the main room. Also spot/listen, Nadia
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20 spot
<Yomi> roll 1d20
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20 spot and gets 9."12 [1d20=9]
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 1d20 and gets 19."12 [1d20=19]
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20 listen
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20 listen and gets 13."12 [1d20=13]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+2 Sayuri spot
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+2 Sayuri spot and gets 13."12 [1d20=11]
<El-Cideon> OOC: doing the stealth thing right now, Nadia?
<Erin> roll 1d20+16 spotting!
* Hatbot --> "Erin rolls 1d20+16 spotting! and gets 32."12 [1d20=16]
<Nadia_Chekova> OOC: yeah, taking 10 for 28
<El-Cideon> Nadia doesn't see anyone out and about this time, either.

Inside:

<Erin> "We've been flanked on both sides," thinks Erin through the orb. "Near the upper windows... Paula, can you get up there and harass the ones on the west, try and make them play their hand? They'll land right in the glyph if they descend... I'll enmesh those on the other side."
<El-Cideon> "I can try, but it won't last long. I may not get all of them in time." Paula calls back, momentarily emerging from the trapdoor, then walking over to one of the specified windows and looking up.
<Erin> "They're waiting for something. The logical response is to interrupt them."
<El-Cideon> Within the space of a blink, Paula evaporates and reforms as a whirling cloud of dust and leaves; there's only the vaguest suggestion of a human shape in the blur. She starts at the window at the back of the church and drifts upwards, pausing just outside, where Erin last saw a ninja perching.
<El-Cideon> There's a surprised yelp as Paula envelopes someone outside!
<Yomi> "Erin, where is the other group?" Yomi asks, peering to the other side from Paula. "If our ninja are lonely, I could send Ran-chan there for company."
<El-Cideon> roll 1d6 damage
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d6 damage and gets 4."12 [1d6=4]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+2 fort
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+2 fort and gets 8."12 [1d20=6]
<Erin> "The opposite end," replies Erin, waving a hand in that direction and sending forth a burst of sticky webbing to enmesh the ninja who lurk in the eaves! "They would be easy pickings now, yes?"
<Erin> OOC: Reflex save to not be completely stuck, only mostly stuck
<Erin> OOC: DC 18
<El-Cideon> OOC: which side, Erin? And how much area does Web cover?
<Erin> OOC: 20ft spread, the opposite one to which Paula is assaulting
<Erin> OOC: I figure while they're stuck there I can just shoot them down or force them out
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+6 ref
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+6 ref and gets 20."12 [1d20=14]
<Yomi> "Ranguren, devour our foes!" Yomi exclaims, summoning her longtime ally to strike terror into the hearts of the webbed ninja!
<Yomi> roll 1d20+14
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 1d20+14 and gets 28."12 [1d20=14]
<Yomi> roll 1d20+12
<Yomi> roll 1d20+12
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 1d20+12 and gets 28."12 [1d20=16]
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 1d20+12 and gets 28."12 [1d20=16]
<El-Cideon> Sticky strands erupt in the space near the window, not entirely snaring the ninja there but surely making it harder for him to do anything violent!
<El-Cideon> OOC: Also, all of those would hit even if he wasn't getting stuck in a web. >.>
<Yomi> roll 2d6+7+4d4+6+3d6 damage+lightning
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 2d6+7+4d4+6+3d6 damage+lightning and gets 43."12 [2d6=6, 4][4d4=2, 3, 3, 4][3d6=4, 2, 2]
<El-Cideon> Lightning sears the man, electricity and slashing claws erupting from the air to tear him up! He falls limp in the web! The remaining ninjas seem to take this as their cue to act--the four of them each toss something to the floor inside the church. Gas begins to spew out from these objects--
<El-Cideon> OOC: there is now a cloud of some mysterious substance surrounding the second and third rows of columns in the room. It's presently a five-foort radius but looks to be expanding.
<Erin> OOC: Can I identify it with CHEMISTRY?
<Yomi> "I'll head outside," Yomi calls to Erin, stepping past the front door.
<El-Cideon> OOC: if Erin's in the middle of the room, this will be on either side of her and approaching. And sure.
<Erin> roll 1d20+13
* Hatbot --> "Erin rolls 1d20+13 and gets 30."12 [1d20=17]
<Erin> "Tear gas!" announces Erin, darting backwards with Yomi and opting to leave the premises as well!
* Yomi channels holy power through the Shishio once more, ready to take the fight out to the ninja!
<El-Cideon> OOC: heading outside?
<Yomi> OOC: I already said I am
<El-Cideon> OOC: right!

~

Outside:

* Nadia_Chekova broadens her circuit, rather than sticking close to the church she ranges farther out in hopes of sighting the fabled legendary swordsman.
<El-Cideon> OOC: spot again
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20 and gets 6."12 [1d20=6]
<El-Cideon> OOC: and one more time!
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20 and gets 7."12 [1d20=7]
<El-Cideon> Nadia doesn't see anyone lurking about--but there are a few not trying to lurk! The ninjas that were hanging onto the windows on the east side have descended to the ground and started to quickly move towards the front door.
* Nadia_Chekova moves to intercept them, keeping herself quiet and low for that pivotal surprise attack!
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+18 hide
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+18 hide and gets 30."12 [1d20=12]
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+18 move silently
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+18 move silently and gets 38."12 [1d20=20]
<El-Cideon> Neither of them sees Nadia; they seem intent on making their way to the front.
* Nadia_Chekova comes up carefully behind them and announces her presence by kicking the leftmost one in the back of the head!
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+12
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+12 and gets 30."12 [1d20=18]
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 2d8+4
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 2d8+4 and gets 10."12 [2d8=5, 1]
<El-Cideon> He doubles over, spinning awkwardly in place to try and see his attacker! OOC: roll init for you as well, you got the attention of two who were heading to the front
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+7
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+7 and gets 8."12 [1d20=1]
<El-Cideon> roll 2#1d20+2
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 2#1d20+2 and gets 24."12 [2#1d20+2 = 21, 3]
* El-Cideon changes topic to 'Ninja E > Nadia > Ninja F'
<El-Cideon> The staggered ninja draws his blade and slashes twice at Nadia!
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+11
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+11 and gets 13."12 [1d20=2]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+6
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+6 and gets 17."12 [1d20=11]
<El-Cideon> Missing completely! OOC: Nadia
<Nadia_Chekova> Dodging adroitly, Nadia fights defensively to keep them busy rather than trying to bring them down decisively, striking out with quick japs and thrust kicks!
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+8 -4 fighting defensively
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+8 -4 fighting defensively and gets 17."12 [1d20=9]
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+3 -4 fighting defensively
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+3 -4 fighting defensively and gets 9."12 [1d20=6]
<El-Cideon> Dazed as he is, the man dodges Nadia's blows easily. His companion circles around behind her to support him!
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+13 flankings
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+13 flankings and gets 32."12 [1d20=19]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+13 crit?
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+13 crit? and gets 16."12 [1d20=3]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+8 attack 2
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+8 attack 2 and gets 25."12 [1d20=17]
<El-Cideon> OOC: Defense?
<Nadia_Chekova> OOC: 25 AC. Fighting defensively was a bust.
<El-Cideon> roll 2d6+6 at least crit didn't happen
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 2d6+6 at least crit didn't happen and gets 16."12 [2d6=6, 4]
<El-Cideon> The first man continues to slash away at Nadia.
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+13
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+13 and gets 26."12 [1d20=13]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+8
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+8 and gets 11."12 [1d20=3]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d6+3
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d6+3 and gets 4."12 [1d6=1]
<El-Cideon> But Nadia's ready for him this time, this strike a glancing one. OOC: you're up.
<Nadia_Chekova> "You two are better than the others," Nadia concedes, stepping half around her first foe to ensure the other can't easily flank her without expending more effort on moving, and activating the dark bracelet on her left wrist...
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d100 phaseshifter failure chance
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d100 phaseshifter failure chance and gets 95."12 [1d100=95]
<Nadia_Chekova> Blurring slightly, she punches twice at her foe!
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+13
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+13 and gets 30."12 [1d20=17]
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+8
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+8 and gets 19."12 [1d20=11]
<El-Cideon> OOC: one hit
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 2d6 action for 2nd
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 2d6 action for 2nd and gets 12."12 [2d6=6, 6]
<El-Cideon> OOC: now two!
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 2d8+6 AC is now 23 vs melee
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 2d8+6 AC is now 23 vs melee and gets 15."12 [2d8=8, 1]
<El-Cideon> The second man moves in to pursue as his battered companion struggles to stand!
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+11
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+11 and gets 22."12 [1d20=11]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+6
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+6 and gets 18."12 [1d20=12]
<El-Cideon> But Nadia's just too fast with some arcane boosts on her side.
<El-Cideon> Nadia's belaguered foe, barely staying on his feet, tries a few more swings at her.
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+11
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+11 and gets 15."12 [1d20=4]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+6
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+6 and gets 18."12 [1d20=12]
<El-Cideon> But these are as feeble as the last. OOC: Nadia
<Nadia_Chekova> Feeling more confident with power thrumming through her bracelet, Nadia knees the stumbling ninja in the stomach before boxing his ears!
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+13
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+13 and gets 30."12 [1d20=17]
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+8
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+8 and gets 25."12 [1d20=17]
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 2d8+6
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 2d8+6 and gets 12."12 [2d8=5, 1]
<El-Cideon> OOC: both hit
<El-Cideon> With a solid whack to the side of the head, the man goes down in a heap.
* El-Cideon changes topic to 'Nadia > Ninja F'
<El-Cideon> The remaining ninja looks around briefly, at his fallen companion, clearly contemplating leaving, but tries a couple more stabs before making up his mind!
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+11
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+6
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+11 and gets 13."12 [1d20=2]
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+6 and gets 14."12 [1d20=8]
<El-Cideon> But perhaps he should have listened to his instincts and fled? OOC: Nadia
<Nadia_Chekova> "You ninjas are nothing to a thief!" Nadia declares contemptuously in Japanese, sweeping at the man's legs and then uppercutting his chin!
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+13
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+13 and gets 17."12 [1d20=4]
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+8
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+8 and gets 13."12 [1d20=5]
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 2d6 action on 1
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 2d6 action on 1 and gets 6."12 [2d6=5, 1]
<El-Cideon> OOC: now it hits.
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d8+3
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d8+3 and gets 7."12 [1d8=4]
<El-Cideon> Nadia's opponent, smarting from a nasty bruised chin, pulls a familiar smoke bomb from his pouch and hurls it at the ground! OOC: smoke cloud again! You're up.
* Nadia_Chekova is happy enough to let him go, and uses the same distraction to hide herself and work her way to the sounds of carnage at the front of the church so she can make a contribution before her boost wears off!
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+19 hide
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+19 hide and gets 37."12 [1d20=18]
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+19 move silently
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+19 move silently and gets 38."12 [1d20=19]
<El-Cideon> Nadia makes her way around to the front of the church--where a battle is taking place! Right around the corner, Sayuri is fighting a ninja, the enemy's back to you. OOC: roll yourself into #hh if you want to join in. No one's capable of detecting you with rolls like that.

Altogether now!

<El-Cideon> Erin, Yomi, Sayuri and the dogs flee the church, retreating outside to avoid the gas. There are three figures standing outside the front door in wait, thirty feet away, not trying to hide their presence. OOC: roll spot, all of you

<El-Cideon> Ayumu and his flankers take no action yet. The ninja to the east of your group darts forward with a knife, stabbing at...well, one of the Yomis!

<Yomi> OOC: He picked me? I don't think I can hit back before my init, though.
<El-Cideon> OOC: ah, silly me! DOGS OF WAR, then.
<El-Cideon> The dogs rush forward towards Ayumu and his crew, pausing right before them and uttering a bone-shaking bark!

* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+3 maybe the second one will fail the second time? and gets 20."12 [1d20=17]
* El-Cideon changes topic to '6Yomi: 72/72, Nadia: 62/62, Erin: 58/58, Rena: 68/68  Ayumu guard A (22, shaken) > Ayumu (19) > Elite = Dogs (18) > Erin (14) > Sayuri (12) > Ninja (11) > Yomi = Ayumu guard B (8)'

<El-Cideon> OOC: Erin. Ayumu and 2x goon are 30 ft away in front, one enemy is right next to Yomi, the last is 30 ft to the west
<Erin> Erin remains in a guarded position, not quite wanting to move and let her clear incompetence with the sword show until Yomi does!
* El-Cideon changes topic to '6Yomi: 72/72, Nadia: 50/62, Erin: 58/58, Rena: 68/68  Ayumu guard A (22, shaken 4 rounds) > Ayumu (19) > Elite = Dogs (18) > Erin (14) > Sayuri (12) > Ninja (11) > Yomi = Ayumu guard B (8)'

<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+7
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+7 and gets 13."12 [1d20=6]
<El-Cideon> Missing completely, however. The last ninja rushes towards Yomi from the other side, knife held out.
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+11 charge
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+11 charge and gets 18."12 [1d20=7]

* Yomi smiles, bowing slightly before the ninja even as she ensures he would not escape from Sayuri and she. "Won't you consider surrendering?" she asks, slashing Shishio straight through his weapon.
<Yomi> roll 1d20+22 sunder?
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 1d20+22 sunder? and gets 32."12 [1d20=10]
<Yomi> OOC: +1, actually
<El-Cideon> OOC: first or second one? Hits either, though.
<Yomi> OOC: Sayuri is only flanking the first with me, I thought
<Yomi> roll 2d6+11
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 2d6+11 and gets 17."12 [2d6=4, 2]
<El-Cideon> OOC: right.
<Yomi> Her backswing tries to accomplish much of the same with the other ninja, although she does not even pay him a glance.
<Yomi> roll 1d20+16 sunder 2
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 1d20+16 sunder 2 and gets 23."12 [1d20=7]
<El-Cideon> OOC: not a hit
<El-Cideon> OOC: wait, no, just makes it. Feh.
<Yomi> roll 2d6+11
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 2d6+11 and gets 14."12 [2d6=2, 1]
<El-Cideon> Both knives shatter to pieces in their hands. Ayumu and his guards fall upon the dogs with their blades, meanwhile.

<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+2 belated Suzume init
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+2 belated Suzume init and gets 14."12 [1d20=12]
<Erin> Erin soon gives up her ruse, letting Rena's sword flip from her fingers whilst she produces a gun, intending to turn it on her opponents!
* El-Cideon changes topic to '6Yomi: 72/72, Nadia: 42/62, Erin: 58/58, Rena: 68/68  Ayumu guard A (22, shaken 4 rounds) > Ayumu (19) > Elite = Dogs (18) > Erin = Suzume (14) > Sayuri (12) > Ninja (11) > Yomi = Ayumu guard B (8)'
<El-Cideon> The disarmed ninja that approached from the east flips back and away from Yomi--
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+16 tumble, will it still fail?
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+16 tumble, will it still fail? and gets 35."12 [1d20=19]

* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+12-4 for her being in melee and gets 16."12 [1d20=8]
<Yomi> OOC: Miss!
<El-Cideon> A bit of metal whizzes right by Yomi's head! While the dogs gang up on the frightened ninja and nip at his legs.
<El-Cideon> roll 2#1d20+11 bite
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 2#1d20+11 bite and gets 41."12 [2#1d20+11 = 27, 14]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d6+3 damage
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d6+3 damage and gets 9."12 [1d6=6]
<El-Cideon> A chunk is ripped from the man's thigh as he shouts in pain! OOC: Erin/Suzume. The latter is going for HP
<Erin> Everyone seems to be in good condition, so Erin chambers a live round into her pistol and fires it towards the swordmaster, ignoring his flunkies for now!
<Erin> roll 1d20+9
* Hatbot --> "Erin rolls 1d20+9 and gets 10."12 [1d20=1]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+8 Ayumu will
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+8 Ayumu will and gets 27."12 [1d20=19]
<El-Cideon> The bullet misses, as does Suzume's magical charm! Sayuri Moves next to the remaining ninja attacking Yomi and hacks away at him.
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+12
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+12 and gets 29."12 [1d20=17]

<El-Cideon> roll 2d6+5 damage
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 2d6+5 damage and gets 14."12 [2d6=6, 3]
<El-Cideon> The ninja is badly gouged, and responds by drawing a short sword and stabbing right back at her!
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+11
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+6
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+11 and gets 22."12 [1d20=11]
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+6 and gets 7."12 [1d20=1]
<El-Cideon> But the blade is barred by the magical protection provided by Erin. OOC: Yomi
* Yomi decides to deal with the ninja facing her first!
<Yomi> roll 1d20+15 nonlethal
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 1d20+15 nonlethal and gets 35."12 [1d20=20]
<Yomi> roll 1d20+15 nonlethal crit?
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 1d20+15 nonlethal crit? and gets 21."12 [1d20=6]

<Yomi> With that out of the way, she leaves the weakling with the throwing stars to Sayuri and proceeds towards Ayumu's guards, both to take some heat off the dogs and to present a tempting target to the ninja swordsmaster.
<El-Cideon> Both of the guards continue stabbing at the bleeding dog, though at least Yomi's presence keeps them from surrounding him.
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+6 scared ninja!
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+6 scared ninja! and gets 13."12 [1d20=7]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+8 normal ninja

<El-Cideon> roll 1d6+2
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d6+2 and gets 6."12 [1d6=4]
* Yomi raises an eyebrow. "You're either very dumb or utterly fearless to ignore my presence in such a manner."
<El-Cideon> "I, however, am neither," Ayumu says, circling around the melee to lash out at Yomi's weapon.
<El-Cideon> OOC: disarm attempt, no AoO due to a feat. Make opposed attack roll.
<Yomi> roll 1d20+17
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 1d20+17 and gets 28."12 [1d20=11]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+16
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+16 and gets 22."12 [1d20=6]

<Yomi> roll 1d20+17
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 1d20+17 and gets 25."12 [1d20=8]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+16
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+16 and gets 21."12 [1d20=5]
<El-Cideon> A clash of blades, and Yomi knocks the swordmaster's own from his hands!
<Yomi> "Not the way I usually dispose of my enemies's weapons, but this will do," Yomi muses, her confidence in Shishio's superiority unshaken. "You, too, get the chance to surrender peacefully."
<El-Cideon> The lone ninja on the outskirts of the fight hurls more throwing stars, this time at Sayuri.
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+12 no penalty this time
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+12 no penalty this time and gets 30."12 [1d20=18]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+7
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+7 and gets 17."12 [1d20=10]

<El-Cideon> roll 2#1d20+11
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 2#1d20+11 and gets 36."12 [2#1d20+11 = 14, 22]
<El-Cideon> roll 1d6+3
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d6+3 and gets 9."12 [1d6=6]
<El-Cideon> Ayumu merely responds to Yomi's offer with a "Hmph" and a challenging glare! OOC: Erin/Suzume, latter is trying HP again
<Erin> Erin scoots forwards to grab and make off with Ayumu's sword!
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+8 will save vs. 17
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+8 will save vs. 17 and gets 20."12 [1d20=12]
<El-Cideon> Erin is able to snatch the blade away and scoot away to safety! Suzume's magic, meanwhile, fails to work again.
<Yomi> "We'll see if you continue to be as obstinate without any arms," Yomi promises darkly.
<El-Cideon> Sayuri closes with the star-thorwing ninjas, charging forward to impale her.
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+14

<El-Cideon> roll 2d6+5
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 2d6+5 and gets 12."12 [2d6=3, 4]
<El-Cideon> A strangled gasp as the woman is run through with Sayuri's borrowed sword! OOC: Yomi
* Yomi tries to make good on her vow, attacking the swordmaster's shoulders with two quick thrusts of her sacred blade!
<Yomi> roll 1d20+17
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 1d20+17 and gets 18."12 [1d20=1]
<Yomi> roll 1d20+12

<El-Cideon> OOC: one hit
<Yomi> roll 2d6+11
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 2d6+11 and gets 20."12 [2d6=4, 5]
<El-Cideon> A grunt as blood runs down Ayumu's front. "Help ME, dammit! Forget the dogs!" He yells, reaching inside his tunic, drawing a shorter blade, and slashing twice at Yomi. Only one of his guards obeys, the other preoccupied with the DOG OH GOD it's terrifying.
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+8 ninja first
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+8 ninja first and gets 23."12 [1d20=15]
<El-Cideon> OOC: hits?

<El-Cideon> Yomi takes two shallow wounds--certainly not enough to stop  her from counterattacking!
* Yomi retaliates for that first unbalanced strike with a slash across Ayumu's face, intending to split his nose in half!
<Yomi> roll 1d20+17
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 1d20+17 and gets 26."12 [1d20=9]
<El-Cideon> OOC: hit
<Yomi> roll 2d6+11

<El-Cideon> It works--blood washes down his face in a sheet. The one terrified ninja continues to try and overcome his crippling fear of canines!
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+6
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+6 and gets 16."12 [1d20=10]

<El-Cideon> The man goes down in a tangle of blood and savaged flesh! OOC: Erin/Suzume, latter still has an HP and will use it
<Erin> Erin holds the sword over her shoulder, opting instead to use the weapon with which she has trained with in the past to settle this melee!
<Erin> roll 1d20+9 blam!
* Hatbot --> "Erin rolls 1d20+9 blam! and gets 20."12 [1d20=11]
<Erin> OOC: at Ayumu
<Erin> roll 2#1d6+2 action!11
* Hatbot --> "Erin rolls 2#1d6+2 action!11 and gets 13."12 [2#1d6+2 = 7, 6]
<Erin> OOC: hits 23, forgot the melee penalty
<El-Cideon> OOC: alas, you need 24
<El-Cideon> More chanting from above as Suzume tries her magic one more time--
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+8 more fail?
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+8 more fail? and gets 14."12 [1d20=6]
<El-Cideon> Ayumu freezes in place, locked motionless by Suzume's magical bonds. Sayuri, meanwhile, tries to finish off her foe. OOC: May as well start lining as I roll for her, Yomi, you have separate opponents here.
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+12
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+12 and gets 18."12 [1d20=6]

<El-Cideon> But Sayuri misses twice--just in time for Nadia to see it.
<Yomi> "It seems you are not destined to die tonight in battle," Yomi intones, bringing her sword to bear upon her frozen opponent. "May you curse that fate repeatedly in the coming days."

<Yomi> roll 1d10 elec!
* Hatbot --> "Yomi rolls 1d10 elec! and gets 9."12 [1d10=9]
<El-Cideon> yomi's blade flashes once, twice, smashing into his head with terrific force. Ayumu slumps over and falls to the ground, a mass of bruises already. His remaining lackey looks around, and immediately tries to bolt!
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+12 tumble?!
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+12 tumble?! and gets 27."12 [1d20=15]
<El-Cideon> The man flips out of the melee, rolls to his feet and makes a mad dash for the road!
<El-Cideon> OOC: Nadia
* El-Cideon changes topic to '6Yomi: 61/72, Nadia: 42/62, Erin: 58/58, Rena: 68/68  Nadia (21)>  Elite = Dogs (18) > Erin = Suzume (14) > Sayuri (12) > Yomi = Ayumu guard B (8)'
<Nadia_Chekova> Unfortunately for the man, Nadia lunges out of the shadows with a flying kick at the back of his head! She'd considered upstaging Sayuri by beating down her playmate, but she sticks to her assigned role.
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+15 charge~
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+15 charge~ and gets 29."12 [1d20=14]
<El-Cideon> OOC: hit
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 2d8+6
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 2d8+6 and gets 13."12 [2d8=6, 1]
<El-Cideon> He staggers a little in his flight, enough for the dogs to pursue and make a mad rush after him! Sayuri's attacker, meanwhile, has come to a similar conclusion and attempts retreat as well.
<El-Cideon> roll 2#1d20+13 CHARGING DOGS

<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+16 tumble
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+16 tumble and gets 23."12 [1d20=7]
<El-Cideon> The dogs latch on, tearing chunks out of his legs, not letting him get away! He yells in terror, terribly wounded! Sayuri's opponent, meanwhile, starts to make her escape, moving sixty feet away to the east. OOC: Erin
<Erin> With the leaders safely captured, Erin sees no reason to dole out further punishment, and holsters her weapon expectantly.
<El-Cideon> OOC: Suzume's not really in a position to affect anyone on the ground at this point, skipping her now.
<El-Cideon> Sayuri pursues, chasing down her enemy for one last attack!
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+14 charge
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+14 charge and gets 22."12 [1d20=8]

<El-Cideon> A terrible slash along her back, but the woman limps on. OOC: Yomi
<Yomi> "Don't forget to call off the dogs once you take him down!" Yomi calls over to Nadia, rushing to assist Sayuri.

<El-Cideon> One final whack from behind, then she staggers a few feet, and topples to the ground. The last man standing tries to shake off the dogs and flee again--
<El-Cideon> roll 1d20+12tumble
* Hatbot --> "El-Cideon rolls 1d20+12tumble and gets Error: Numeric values only."12 [1d20=1]
<El-Cideon> OOC: formatting errors! But it did roll a 1. Take your AoO if you want to down him before the dogs do, Nadia.
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d20+13 pow!
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d20+13 pow! and gets 17."12 [1d20=4]
<El-Cideon> OOC: that actually hits, this is one the feeble ninja species
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 1d8+3 kapow!
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 1d8+3 kapow! and gets 11."12 [1d8=8]
<El-Cideon> Nadia lashes out and hammers him in the back of the head. He tumbles to the ground instead of fleeing as planned. The dogs circle for a moment, making sure he's not going to get up, then relax and look around. One of them is covered with blood, but alive enough at least. OOC: free act
<Nadia_Chekova> Feeling more sorry for the dog than herself, Nadia kneels down and takes out her alleged healing potion. "Here, boy, drink this," she urges, popping the cork and tipping it into the wounded hound's mouth.
<Yomi> Catching her breath, Yomi cleans her sword and sheathes it, as no more ninja appear besides the friendly one next to her.
<Nadia_Chekova> roll 2d8+3 for cure moderate?
* Hatbot --> "Nadia_Chekova rolls 2d8+3 for cure moderate? and gets 10."12 [2d8=2, 5]
<Erin> Erin vanishes into the building in order to see if the tear gas has dispersed yet.
<El-Cideon> No one else is moving outside of your group. The tear gas has mostly dispersed to stray corners of the room. You should be able to walk inside without problems.
<Erin> Erin thus checks on the bodies still in the room to ensure they remain stable, and begins to circle the premises as well, rounding up every unconscious body she can find.
<Yomi> "Sayuri, check up on Rena and the others?" Yomi requests, taking the body of the ninja they stopped and carrying it back into the church.
<El-Cideon> Sayuri nods and makes her way upstairs.
<Nadia_Chekova> "So is it over?" Nadia asks, patting the dog on the head and standing up to look around. "Nobody badly hurt on our side?"
<Erin> "Any injuries were easily dealt with. It's a great advantage over our foes," replies Erin, ejecting her current clip and filling it with healing bullets. "Are you well, Nadia?"
<Yomi> "Rena was mauled pretty badly, but the fancy healing bullets fixed her right up," Yomi responds, ensuring that no ninja remains outside the church, unconscious or otherwise, before circling it.
<Nadia_Chekova> "Got stabbed a little," Nadia admits with a wince, seeing Erin's gesture and nodding her permission, although she closes her eyes and noticably tenses up, unable to reconcile herself with voluntarily getting shot.
<El-Cideon> Yomi finds a couple to the east side of the church, bruised as though they'd been the losing side in a boxing match. There is also a Paula lingering on the west side of the church, standing over a fallen body.
<Erin> "It's not so bad," replies Erin, plugging Nadia a few times with shining white bullets!
<Erin> OOC: I have enough that you're surely healed <_<
<Yomi> "We're bringing the ninja back inside," Yomi tells Paula, looking her over carefully. "Are you alright? Any injuries?"
* Nadia_Chekova winces with every shot, then runs her hands over her wounded flesh with a rather stunned expression. "I shan't ever get used to this," she declares.
<El-Cideon> Paula has some minor lacerations, but looks well enough. "I'm alright. There were a couple others here, but they ran off when stabbing a cloud didn't look like it helped them much. I didn't see where they went."
<Erin> "It's just a more compact delivery of your usual healing charm. I'm afraid I can't do those myself, so having Suzume around is quite a boon."
<Yomi> "It's alright. We got the leaders, and most of their minions, at that. Bring that one indoors, and I'll collect the other two by the east side?"
<El-Cideon> Paula nods and starts dragging the ninja by his feet.
<Nadia_Chekova> "I suppose," Nadia's answer is noncommital. "So, what are we going to do with all these ninja? Dump them in the church and set it on fire? Drop them in the river? Shoot them with normal bullets?"
<Erin> "There are methods we can use to persuade them to take up other careers," replies Erin. "I had Grace go and find our records on the subject. Memory modification, emotional control."
<Yomi> "How about we contact Myriam?" Yomi suggest, arriving with two ninja in tow. "I asked her to prepare the means to ensure our ninja enemies won't threaten us again."
<Erin> "You did?"
<El-Cideon> Sayuri comes down the stairs with Suzume and the others, at this point.
<Yomi> "I did. It's not to be taken lightly, but I would prefer it over executing them."
<Erin> "Agreed. Well, there is a payphone not far away. I'll arrange for transportation?"
<El-Cideon> "This should be most of them, I think," the lone conscious ninja says, examining the collection of fallen foes. "I hope one of your friends can deal with them somehow, because it doesn't look like you actually killed anyone."
<El-Cideon> "Although Ayumu looks as though a truck struck him."
<Nadia_Chekova> "That suits me," Nadia allows with a mangmanimous shrug, not feeling too bloodthirsty. "And neither did they," she adds to Sayuri.
<Yomi> "This goes to our credit, I think," Yomi muses. "Let's ensure they'll neither die of their wounds nor wake up in the near future, and I'll give Myriam a ring."
