His first three attacks missed, and he managed to land one after that, but, with a slight shift in stance, Tama was able to evade the last two.
She didn't waste any time in returning the attack, hoping that his stamina would begin to wane. She sent three strikes at him with her naginata. [dice=20] +12 [dice=20] +12 [dice=20] +12

Two of Tama's attacks struck true, as Rai Fang cried out from the pain of his injuries.
[2 HP damage]
Holding the gash on his side, he growled, and pressed his feet to the ground as he focused his energy and with a sharp whoop, aims a disrupting fist strike at Tama.
Disrupting Fist: [dice=20]+12 (If the attack hits, Tama is paralyzed for [dice=3] turns.

Nan Fa Ra Duk's hiding spot was convenient, until a table was sent flying in his direction (Reflex roll to avoid damage, DC 17)
The whipping brawler licks his lips at Akane and swings his whip at her, with two strikes and an attempt to trip her to the ground.

The monk is able to knock out his crazed brother, as he and the remaining monk quell down the remaining barfighters, leaving only those battling our heroes.

Nam Il creeps out of his hiding spot to get a better look at what is going on around him. [rand=6802443285682118150190597072344064226566843687929172956062581333]

Seizing the moment, Aeon jumps vaults over the bar, again kneeling down, this time in front of the bar, he directs a bolt of telekinetic power upwards at the thug with the whip.[dice=20]+13
Aeon doesnt wait to see the results as he grabs a bottle of liquor off the bar and takes a generous mouthful, savoring the burn while the whip bearing thug his lifted into the air and his head smashed hard against the roof beam.[rand=7970165244769305428356809774413769718776876106868721875015180558]

((Turns and rounds are interchangeable for the most part, but in the context of specific situations, it is counted for turns rather than whole rounds. When it comes to simple enemies, you will receive a -2 penalty to your psychic attack for every other target you intend to possess [as you level up in the game, this penalty will be reduced] Against advanced enemies, to keep numbers hidden they receive a bonus to willpower rolls against your domination if you try to possess more than one of them.
Aeon: your force bolt is nonlethal automatically, but you need to hit three consecutive times with it on the same target to create enough force to knock an opponent that high into the air (it does not have to be on the same turn. These bolts count as regular attacks for you in terms of actions in combat, so standing still you can potentially fire off three as a full round attack). The first hit only stuns them as if they just got punched, the second hit knocks them to the floor. the third hit is what causes them to be launched. You will be able to purchase focuses later that can enhance your bolt to be more effective. Even though it does nonlethal damage alone, simple enemies with 1 HP are still knocked unconscious by a single hit.
Akane, Duk, as spellcasters you have access to this ability as well. You can read more about it in the thread about using campaign stats.))

After taking a moment to catch her breath, Tun Si returned her gaze to the fighting downstairs. She shot Nergui a frown when he shouldered past her, but quickly regained her focus.
She noticed Tama battling Rai Fang, and realizing the latter was responsible for starting the bar fight, she leapt off the railing and landed on the ground in a crouch then raced towards him.
[Acrobatics] [dice=20]+11
Along the way, she easily avoided tripping over the shattered chairs, tables and several corpses that littered the floor, and finally leapt right past Nan Fa Ra Duk. With Rai Fang locked in her sight, Tun Si dove at him with a palm strike.

Taking a gamble, Tama tried getting in another strike against Rai Fang, her arms lifting to give her naginata extra momentum on her attack. But Rai Fang was too quick, landing his blow in a particularly vulnerable spot in her armor before she could react defensively. She peered at Rai Fang in her immobilized state with a look in her eyes that screamed threats and anger. [rand=03382226152642265890711844717040186061328607061679494753432450969]

Duk: [failure]
"Where do you think you're going!?" An angry man who bumped into Duk grabbed him by the collar.
"Probably picked my pocket! Cough it up!"
---
"Oh no you don't!" As Akane flipped about, the thug dropped the whip and bullrushed her to tackle her to the ground.
His foreboding grapple is halted by a psychic bolt from nearby Aeon, who knocked him clean to the floor.
---
Tun Si: [failure. Also, Rai Fang rolled the same exact number you did. NOTE: Whenever your defense roll matches the opposing attack roll exactly, you have the opportunity for a free counterattack.]
Rai Fang sees Tun Si darting in from the corner of his eye. With a sharp breath he clashes palm with palm, temporarily throwing off Tun Si's movement and closing in for a tiger claw strike. Attack: [dice=20]+9
Keeping the momentum, he moved away from the frozen Tama and kept the punishment on Tun Si. "Foolish women, what good are you at kung fu!?" He hollers with a spinning kick to Tun Si's face. Attack: [dice=20]+9

Nergui sees a window straight ahead that is begging for him to leap through it, as a plate flies past his head from the fight downstairs.

Nam Il works up courage, even as his knees are shaking, he grabs the man harassing Duk by the shoulder.
"Hey, l-l-leave him be..!"
"What!? You want to oppose me!?" He man spits as much as he shouts as he lets Duk go and now grabs Nam Il.

"Er.. did you do that?"

Akane's eyes widen slightly from the psyic attack from Aeon. She looked at him and made a metal picture in her mind that if she runs into him again she will thank him for his help.
Than across the room Akane noticed Tun Si. Akane gasped and started to dart over there.
[Acrobatics] [dice=20]+13
With fast and quick movements Akane dodge all the broken chairs, tables and people in the chaos. As Akane landed a few feet away from Tun Si, she noticed the man, Rai Fang.
Akane reached in her pocket to pull out more seeds and whipped them at Rai Fang to entangle him for a time.

Tun Si regained her focus from the throw-off but refused to back down as she defensively thrust her palm forward and blocked Rai Fang's Tiger Claw strike.
Shooting him a dangerous frown at his insult, she stood firm in one place and blocked his spinning attack with both arms.
"...a lot better than you actually think!"
Tun Si then proceeded to throw two palm strikes at his jaw and chest followed by a crescent kick.

Rai Fang prepared to block his attackers, when seeds hit his shoulder and latched on. He watched as it grew rapidly, ensnaring him in vines. He shouted out of shock and confusion trying to pry it off, but it grew too fast and started to entangle him. Then he watched Tun Si and Tama attack, his cocky attitude disappeared. -- Nergüi looked down to see a garden with a bathhouse, and high fences beyond. But beyond that, people stopping in the middle of the streets looking straight up. And from the second floor, Nergüi saw it, an event he had never seen before: A night of glowing, blood red stars. -- Nam Il shook his head at Duk's question, and pointed to Aeon. "He.." -- Rai Fang desperately used all his flexibility and agility to try moving away from the assault. He was able to bob and weave away from Tun Si's palm strikes, but took a hard hit to the face from her kick. Spinning right into Tama's path, he avoids the first strike, but the second hits true, slashing across his chest. He cries out from the pain and falls over as the vines render him immobile. He has been knocked out from shock. Battle 1 Over(Remember when not in combat or specific situations I designate, players may post as they wish, as we are in RP mode.) With Rai-Fang defeated, and no one left still trying to start a fight, the elderly owner crawls out of her hiding place to see the state of the place. She gives out a cry of shock and disapproval. With some noise at the door, the police run in, surrounding the area, and accompanied by Lieutenant Ling, a slender but strong-looking older woman, an onna-bugeisha. The tavern owner gladly points out the progenitor of the violence. After Lt. Ling performs her arrest, the tavern owner shoos the rest of you out into the street. As you exit the tavern, you see people all around you, staring up into the sky. Looking up, you see a sight none of you have ever seen before; the night sky’s stars have all turned a burning red, casting a red glow across the entire city.

Nergüi, having killed three men in the course of the scuffle, kept a low profile on his way out the door.
Something about the blood-red stars reminded him of something, but the sheer eeriness of it bothered the Beggar Khan more than he cared to admit.
He grimaced up at the sky, and spat meditatively on the ground.

Tun Si took a moment to stretch her neck sideways before breathing out through her shoulders. With the bodies of her guards and other unfortunate souls caught in the brawl strewn over the place, as a monk Tun Si would be inclined to take a moment to pray for them but the tavern owner had her removed before she could do anything.
Once outside, Tun Si immediately noticed the strange phenomenon hovering over the city. Looking up at the blood-ridden sky with wide eyes, she felt a uncomfortable tug in her stomach instinctively telling her that something was very wrong.
"...What...what is this...?"

Akane gathered her belongings before being shooed out. As she was leaving the building she saw the destruction she and a lot of the other people caused. She sighs deeply.
But as soon as she stepped outside and looked up, nots formed in the pit of her stomach. Than she remembered.
"Tun Si!" She gasped out and looked around and spotted her, she reached out and grasped her arm.

Tama lingered so that she was the last one out of the inn, and turned to hand the owner a small sack of gold to help cover the cost of damages. With a slight bow, she turned and joined the crowd. Chills ran through her at the sight of the night sky, though she made every attempt to remain composed. Closing her eyes, she attempted to hear the familiar, yet distant, whispers of her spirits in hopes that they would afford her some clues as to what was occurring.

Feeling her arm being gripped, Tun Si reacted out of a fighter's instinct and wrenched her arm away, but quickly relaxed when she saw it was only Akane. "Oh...I apologize. For a moment, I thought...never mind..."
My family's guards are all gone now...
Tun Si's attention quickly drifted back to the red sky above. "You specialize in divinations. Do you...have any clue what this means?" she inquired of her.

Tama's spirits, as she calls them, offer nothing but disturbed sussurations, mirroring the incoherent mutterings of the crowd. Almost absently, she approaches Aeon who is no more than a few feet away. She glances sideways at him. "Should you be drinking?" Tama's left hand, resting at her side on her wakizashi, shifts slightly, angling the hilt horizontally towards Aeon, pointing at his wound.

Aeon looks at Tama then at the bottle in his hand, slick with blood from the multiple wounds he had recently sustained and shrugs then points at the blood red stars.
"if you knew what those stars meant you would be sharing this with me."
He takes another smaller mouthful this time.
"What they mean is..."

Tun Si's lips curled into a hopeful smile on hearing the last part of Akane's sentence.
"...I'm glad to hear that." But her smile soon faded, still feeling uncertain, and turned to Akane. "But, what do you mean...I'm importa--?"
Something familiar suddenly caught the corner of Tun Si's eye, and she left the crowd to investigate. "Pardon me for a moment."
Near the tavern entrance, Tun Si discovered a single survivor of her family guards. The young man, a new initiate, appeared mentally shaken from witnessing the brutal deaths of his colleagues. He however sustained no physical injuries, save for some bloodstains splattered on his armour. Regardless, Tun Si saw this as a good opportunity to send her family a message, and approached him gently. “It's all right, it's me.”
At the sight of Tun Si, the young guard’s fear and bewilderment melted away almost immediately. “M..M..Milady?…I’m glad you’ve come to no harm.” Tun Si exchanged him a thankful smile. “I understand tonight has been extremely rough for you, but I must ask a favour of you.”
“A…anything you wish, Milady.”
Tun Si pulled out of her pouch a small parcel wrapped in red and gold embroidered cloth, and placed it in the surviving guard’s hand. “Deliver this to my family. Inform them of what happened tonight, that I am well…and that I will not be returning home.”
The guard’s expression shifted from relief to alarm at her request. Surely, she didn’t mean... “Y..your betrothal gift, Milady?! I…I can’t…your family won’t—”
Tun Si shot him a firm glare. “I have made my decision, whether my parents will it or not. Now, go.”
After a brief moment of silence, the reluctant guard bowed to Tun Si and left immediately with the token.

"Hey! You didn't pay me yet!" he shouted as he banged on the door. The peep-hole slid open and the owners eyes glared out leering left then right before focusing on Duk then the sky and slamming shut with a tell-tale click of a lock.
