D12 MM, Duel vs Raizo, Attack, Martial Arts Melee [Void], Void Point | TN: 2 | Success: 2 / Opportunity: 4 / Strife: 4

Success, 2 for critical strike severity 3 for bokken, strife from dice ignored in void stance, 2 to show off

[Earth Stance means you can't spend Opps on Critical strike severity]

[OOC: the worst damn dueling system in the damn world]

1 to boost next water ring roll, 3 to show off

Raizo slipped the blow, but otherwise remained unmoving.

And he Readied his bokken.

[Gotta love these berserkly stupid not-even-remotely corner cases

Raizo takes 5 Fatigue using the utterly bizarre and incomprehensible "Defending Against Damage" rules on Page 268

Fatigue: 5/10

His action will be to ready his weapon.]

[OOC: Also, 5 damage I guess? 3 from weapon and +2 for two handed? I don't know anymore.]

[Hell with it, it brings the end of this nightmare closer ]
