Koga Hexagon Shinobi Assassin's page

The kunoichi closes her eyes and chomps down hard on something in her mouth... She begins to spasm in Bear’s arms, foaming at the mouth!

Within a matter of seconds, she goes limp in Bear’s arms, dead from the lethal poison she has swallowed!

Johann growls in a chuckle as he see the dextrous cat leap about the battlefield. Now there is someone who I would like to meet!

But there is no time to greet the cat properly, as Johann tightens his grip on the Shinobi Assassin and tries to pin her to the ground.

[dice= maintain grapple and give pinned condition]d20+25

4 damage Kraken style when successful

OOF!! squeaks the kunoichi as Johann increases the torque, her eyes bulging!

Using round 5 to attempt what was just hand waived...

Acrobatics to leap gracefully from rooftop to the invisible ninja grappled by the dire bear 1d20+50 is good enough...
Disarm vs ninja's CMD (he can see her thanks to a permanent see invisibility affecting him) 1d20+30 does the trick!

Actually, only one of the kunoichi's wakizashi is disarmed...

AIEE!?

Damned Bear is crushing the life out of me, while Fox zaps me with lightning bolts, and now this Cat wants to add insult to injury by disarming me!? I must have offended the ancestors!

Escape Artist 1d20 + 16 ⇒ (6) + 16 = 22 fails to wriggle free!

Johann runs forward into the smoke!

Gah! Where did he go? He must still be there!

Though he can't see the ninja, Johann figures the Assassin has not yet had a chance to move. He lunges at where the ninja should be and tries to hold on.

[dice=50% chance of hitting an invisible target? >50 is a hit]d100

[dice= Grapple attempt]d20+18

4 damage Kraken style if grab is successful

Against the odds, Johann grabs ahold of the invisible kunoichi’s slim, muscular, yet feminine body in the smoke... In hindsight, she realizes that the smoke cloud and vanishing trick together were not only redundant, but practically negate one another, her invisible body rendered visible as a human-shaped absence of smoke...

UNH!! grunts a feminine voice as the Bear’s powerful arms sweep her into a rib-crushing embrace!

Seeing Fox’s friends charging toward them, led by a thrush and a roaring dire bear, the kunoichi’s eyes widen in alarm... She steps back five feet from Fox and hurls a smoke bomb down, which blossoms into a billowing purple cloud of smoke, obscuring vision beyond a few feet in a twenty-foot-radius spread enveloping the combatants, and vanishes into the smoke!

Move action to procure smoke bomb from pack, standard action to activate, swift action vanishing trick...

Flurry of blows against Sifu Centipede... Reverse punch 1d20+10 deals 1d10+3 damage! Hammer kick 1d20+10 is dodged! Spinning back kick 1d20+5 is dodged! Jumping front kick (Crane kick) 1d20+5 is blocked!

HAH!! HUP!! HAH!! HYUP!!

In Japanese: Look, girl! If you don’t help me kill The Centipede first, he’s going to kill both of us!!

The kunoichi glances at Sifu Centipede...

The way I've been envisioning our positions, I should now be able to take a 5ft step (it would be a diagonal on a grid) to put me in a flanking position on the ninja with Sifu Centipede. I'm going to do that and attack, and then we'll see if I need to flee on round 4.

His spellcasting done for now, Fox reveals that he has been doing some strategic maneuvering at the same time, as he steps into a new position that forces the shinobi to watch the Fox and the Centipede on opposite sides. And the Fox finally strikes back at his would-be assassin in a flash of electricity!

[dice=Melee Mystic Bolt (touch attack), Flanking]1d20+6+2
[dice=Damage with Sneak Attack]1d6+1+2d6

The kunoichi, trained to endure pain, jerks from the shocking bolt, but refrains from crying out...

Shadow 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (20) + 11 = 31 with miss on 1-20 1d100 ⇒ 43 hits! Confirm 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (19) + 11 = 30 confirms, dealing 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (4, 1) + 2 = 7 critical slashing damage! Hasted Shadow 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (2) + 11 = 13 is dodged... Iterative Shadow 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (15) + 6 = 21 misses 1-20 1d100 ⇒ 85 deals 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 slashing... Whisper 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24 misses 1-20 1d100 ⇒ 12 misses due to blur... Total of 14 slashing damage to Fox!

Fox feels the kunoichi’s blades cut him twice more! The adrenaline somewhat dulls the pain at the moment, but the blood stain expanding on Fox’s tunic indicates that he is in trouble!

The kunoichi vanished into thin air after making a swift hand kanji symbol!

Swift action vanishing trick...

She reappears behind the Fox, thrusting Shadow wakizashi at Fox’s neck! 1d20 + 15 ⇒ (16) + 15 = 31 with 1-20 on d% a miss 1d100 ⇒ 12 misses!

Fox’s blur spell saves him from what might’ve been a fatal strike to his throat!

Shadow wakizashi 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (13) + 11 = 24 cuts Fox’s guarding forearm, dealing 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (4) + 1 = 5 slashing damage! Hasty slice 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (11) + 11 = 22 cuts again for 1d6 + 1 ⇒ (6) + 1 = 7 more slashing damage! Iterative strike 1d20 + 6 ⇒ (2) + 6 = 8 misses! Whisper wakizashi 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (6) + 11 = 17 misses by inches as Fox dodges backward... Total slashing damage = 12...

After dealing two shallow cuts to Fox’s right forearm, the kunoichi answers his query in whispered Japanese: The shogūn, Ashikaga Yoshinori, grandson of the shogūn who placed a generous bounty on your head, has promised to honor his dead grandfather’s decree... The bounty on your head would feed the Koga Hexagon Clan for a long time, Fox-San... I am sorry... I must follow orders!

The ninja’s dark eyes (the only visible part of her under her black garments) barrow as Fox becomes blurry and indistinct... She lashes out with her wakizashi with blinding speed, drawing a second blade with her off hand...

Wakizashi Shadow 1d20 + 13 ⇒ (2) + 13 = 15 misses! Move action to draw second wakizashi Whisper...

The kunoichi (female ninja) sings a brief chant and gestures at Fox...

Casts confusion, Will DC 16, on Fox...

Initiative 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (11) + 5 = 16

Fox hears a feminine voice murmer words of magic right behind him!

Casts haste on herself...

Anata no jikan wa agatte imasu, Fokkusu-San!

Stealth 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (20) + 20 = 40 vs Fox’s Perception check (again)...

The ninja drops down behind Fox, as silent as snow falling, and draws her wakizashi...

Stealth 1d20 + 20 ⇒ (19) + 20 = 39 vs Ogon Fox’s Perception check...

A slender figure in black, form-fitting garments, as invisible as a shadow in darkness, springs as silently as a grasshopper from rooftop to rooftop, stalking the kitsune vigilante below...
