Kyuden Shika

The Lion brought his unflinching Stone Matsu facade to the dueling ring. The Unicorn, his friend on some level, could see a slow building fire in his eyes that was ready to lance out, hopefully at the right time.

----------------
D12 duel event. Initiative. Water/Meditation TN1. Water 3, skill 1. | TN: 1 | Success: 2 / Opportunity: 2 / Strife: 3

Pass, 1 bonus success, Opportunities cancel strife. Focus of 3 and taking 2 strife to add 2.
Total initiative 6 or 7, 2/12 composure.

For reference:
Duelling TL;DR attempt
-Roll ring of choice x meditation vs TN1 - add your focus for your initiative. Secretly, you can take extra strife to increase it. Do this once, highest score wins.
-Each round(R), Take R strife.
-On your turn, choose a stance and take 1 of four main action types: attack, scheme, support. Support lets you draw, so you need to do that. Unless you know an Iaijutsu kata, you need to use a support action to draw your sword. TN to hit people is 2, 3 if they are in air stance.
-Repeat until:
-One side goes over their fatigue
-If they go over in composure, out of turn, you may attempt a critical strike action.
-One side spends 2 opportunities for a critical strike (cannot be done to an opponent in earth stance)
-One side gives

D12 initative | TN: 1 | Success: 1 / Opportunity: 1 / Strife: 0

(Fire) : Inflame another character in the scene with your presence, causing them to receive 2 strife.
taking 1 extra strife for initative. giving me a total of 7
1/8 composure

Duel d12 Draw in water stance , second action attack in it ,as it allows me to do so | TN: 2 | Success: 2 / Opportunity: 1 / Strife: 2


the boken was a bit of a unfamillar weight compared to her scimitar, but she could adapt to it, and so she moved unorthodox, hoping that surprise would give her the advantage that she needed there as she moved foreward and hit .
spend opp on removing stress, 1+1 for round 1 -2 from water opp = 0/8
3 (base for the boken) +2 (two handed) =5 fatigue damage delivered

[Fluff pending for now]

---------
D12 duel event R1. Water stance = ready and attack w/bokken. Water/MAMelee TN 2. Water 3, skill 1 | TN: 2 | Success: 2 / Opportunity: 1 / Strife: 3

Strike for same "damage" as Kheree dealt. Water opp to remove 2 strife. Net 2 strife incl. 1 for Rd1 of duel.

Composure 7/12
Endurance 5/10

I think Kheree is at 2/8 composure, because of the strife on kept dice in addition to what preceded the roll.

(whoops yeah forgot the strife from that attack

Turn 2 prior to init
Composure 2/8
Endurance: 5/8

+4 strife for initative , changing into fire stance
Composure 8/8
Endurance: 5/8

d12 duel turn 2 attack | TN: 2 | Success: 3 / Opportunity: 2 / Strife: 1

Spending 2 opp on a critical strike there then, after PM correction of error

In the end, the Unicorn was the fastest, tagging the point of Ishioka's leading shoulder for no appreciable effect save everyone could see that she had bested the Lion in the moment before his own strike could land.

----------
Per corrections in PMs, Ishi is not out and gets a last strike.
D12 duel event last strike. Water/MAMelee. Water 3, skill 1 | TN: 2 | Success: 2 / Opportunity: 2 / Strife: 3

Barely hits, but opps for critical strike. Net 3 strife, plus 2 from initiative bid plus 2 from staredown.
D12 duel event: Fitness/Water to reduce crit TN 1. Water 3, skill 2. | TN: 1 | Success: 3 / Opportunity: 1 / Strife: 0

Success plus 2 bonus reduces severity 3 crit to no effect. Water opp to recover 2 strife, leaving Ishi at 12/12 composure but not compromised.

With correction for reduction, final fatigue is at:
Kheree 8/8
Ishi 10/10

Scoring:
Ishi: objective yes (6), inflicted fatigue (8), plus points equal to severity of crit (3 minus any reduction from Kheree's Fitness/Fire roll). Probably just 14 points.
Kheree: objective yes (6), first strike (3), inflicted fatigue (10), plus points equal to severity of crit (3 minus 3 from Ishi's Fitness roll [copied above]). So, 19 points.
