OOC: Waiting for the clariication of what is the ability

OOC: Me too. Hope it is magical and Ryu can detect it.

OOC: It's supernatural (Charm person)

"Charmed!" Soshi Ryu announces, letting everyone know they must be extra careful... if not outright kill her or some other way to completely neutralize her.

Sakura is capable of several things, but not to keep guard on a charmed woman. She strikes, thrusting her starknife in the body of the woman.

OOC:
Standard: Attack
10:11, Today: Bayushi Sakura rolled 24 using 1d20+8.  Attack.
10:12, Today: Bayushi Sakura rolled 6 using 1d4+4.  Damage.

"Hold up, no need for violence now. She is an absolutely lovely lady and could likely provide us all kinds of information. Some tea and biscuits should set things right as rain."

"Is it custom to give women flowers in this land?"

"She is a decoy, a trap. She is charmed. Someone has done it and is waiting for us to bite the bait. Kill her already, John! Or knock her out!"

OOC: If your going to attack roll initiative.  I will still use your attack and damage rolls on your turn though.

OOC:
12:15, Today: Shosuro rolled 12 using 1d20+2.  Initiative.
Not my bet roll

"If she is the bait all the better to find out who we are chasing. Back home when you find a trap you dont stab the rabbit. You throw a rock at the trap."

"Ecept she is no rabbit."

OOC:
00:07, Today: Bayushi Sakura rolled 22 using 1d20+4.  Initiative.

"She can harm us, John." Ryu warns the gaijin. "By her own will or not."

OOC:
09:33, Today: Soshi Ryu rolled 21 using 1d20+2.  Initiative.

Bayushi Sakura You stab the helpless woman with your weapon.  She lets out a loud unholy screech.

OOC: The rest of you go first so make your actions.

Ryu doesn't like at all what he is hearing. He concentrates and forms a creature out of ectoplasm that attacks the lady with the unholy scream

OOC:
Full:
Manifest Astral Construct 3PP 2nd level with options of Trip and Buff

Astral Construct
Standard: Attack with slam attack
12:15, Today: Soshi Ryu rolled 24 using 1d20+5.  Astral Construct Slam Attack with Trip. (If target's CMD is 23 or lower, it gets knocked prone)
12:15, Today: Soshi Ryu rolled 7 using 1d6+4.  Slam Damage.

Akira also strikes to the shrieking lady.
Well... actually he tries.
And fails.
Fails BADLY

OOC:
19:40, Today: Shosuro rolled 9 using 1d20+8.  Attack with Giant Kama.

Loud noises, people stabbing, lady screaming. John leveled the firearm Nymph at the door, pushed the third button with his pinkie, and pulled the trigger. Two near simultaneous explosions rang out like a clap of thunder. A ring that normally was the funeral bell for a number of bandits over the years.

Detonations in a confined space no less.

"You," He pointed to the lady. "Put your face on the ground and your hands down palms out and you just may survive this encounter."

"And the rest of you. Calm the hell down. The best we can do is move as a group and escort her together, safe and sound. The dead tale no tales, a corpse is far less useful to us than a song bird who can sing to the right owner."

"We only need to know about the Daisho, John. If she knows something and values her life, she must say it now."

"The living can kill us." Ryu replies

OOC: Hope the Astral construct could make her prone

"You listen to me, bitch!" Sakura begins to interrogate her. "I want to know where is the sword. And I want to know now!"


OOC:
Fail
03:26, Today: Bayushi Sakura rolled 12 using 1d20+10.  Intimidate.

Group The bound woman looks at you.  "I have no idea what your talking about.  I am a simple servant sent to gather some saki for the master.  I got lost down here since I new but it seems that no one has missed me. Well that is until you came down here."

Actions

Shosuro Akira pays attentin to her words

OOC:
15:50, Today: Shosuro rolled 27 using 1d20+8.  Sense Motive.

"See, now we are talking, making progress. We can get answers and a pretty lady doesn't end up dead." Being brought up in Avalon he had a rather different core value. Though this did bring to light he needed nonlethal rounds at some point. Grenade bullets in confined spaces are bad things.

There was also the hope that with the thunder clap of the gun down here someone would come to check, that would solve a few problems.

"Really and what was that howl you did moments ago? A simply servant's screams of pain?"
Ryu isn't buying this, but will await for what Akira may say about her words.

"Are you sure she is just a pretty lady, John?" Sakura still holds the starknife near the woman's neck. "We had to endure traps to be here and she could reach here so easily with only the training of a servant?"

"I will not lie to you, I cannot be sure she isnt some kind of elder dragon or a song bird under a spell. What I do know is that she is down here for a reason. If she is a hidden whore of the local lord I would hate to find my morning eggs poisoned in quiet retaliation as to her death at the very least."

"But on the other hand, even if she isn't telling us, she would tell the lords Marshals under duress. I know well your people are extremely skilled at extracting information when it comes to marshals."

"But all thing aside. We need friends more than corpses. Let's just march her as a group and turn her over to the guards for later interrogations if you find that a wiser course of action. And if she isnt what she says she is, then we know she had a hand in the theft, and she can later betray her allies."

"I confess you are smarter than I as to how this world works on this side. But it feels wrong to just kill her."
