Senseki is up!
Without ever taking his eyes off the Mirumoto, the Sparrow roots his feet on the ground again, and then finally jumps into action, taking one of the bokken from its 'sheathed' position to what should be a precise strike to the side of Haruhi's chest with one, fluid motion...
The Sparrow's strike was inbound, he'd seen it in his mind how this was going to connect....but he had forgotten Haruhi's talk about her other hand!Suzume Senseki wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 5:47 amWithout ever taking his eyes off the Mirumoto, the Sparrow roots his feet on the ground again, and then finally jumps into action, taking one of the bokken from its 'sheathed' position to what should be a precise strike to the side of Haruhi's chest with one, fluid motion...
... now would that be a good enough draw for the experienced Dragon?
OOC:
Ah... another question, sorry - Re-reading Rising Blade as I'm using it now - I *think* the extra success does *not* cause more damage, as unlike with Crossing Blade that's not referenced in the writeup?
("If you succeed, you deal physical damage to the target equal to the weapon’s deadliness. Your target cannot defend against this damage if they are Compromised" in Rising blade vs "If you succeed, you deal physical damage to the target equal to the weapon’s deadliness plus your bonus successes" in Crossing Blade).
If that's right, Senseki should be at 2/8 endurance, with 3 damage - 1 resistance... right?
Then! Senseki's turn
Switch to Earth stance
Action: Iaijutsu Cut, Rising Blade! TN equal to Haruhi's Vigilance... I'll assume 3? TN is reduced by 1 due to Void opportunity from last round!
D11 EE - Practice duel vs Haruhi; Iaijutsu Cut - Rising Blade! Earth/ Melee, TN equal to Haruhi's Vigilance (2 or 3?). Dice with 1 Opp and 1 Success focused ready to use! | TN: 2 | Success: 2 / Opportunity: 2 / Strife: 0
2/ 2/ 0.
2 should be enough to hit her if her Vigilance is 2 (down to 1 due to opp from last round) or 3 (down to 2 due to opp from last round)
2: used to inflict a critical strike, as apparently Iaijutsu Cuts can do that!
At end of round:
Endurance: 2/8 (assuming what I asked above is correct!)
Composure: 3/10
"You honour me too much with your words, Mirumoto-sama", he answered, now with a very restrained smile again as he bowed to her as well. "But I thank you kindly! So was it to witness your style in practice. It could easily have gone differently. Thank you for another lesson - and for your company, again", he added.Mirumoto Haruhi wrote: ↑Fri Sep 03, 2021 6:20 amFortunately, the strike didn't hurt her that badly. It did signal to her the end of the duel...and of certain doubts.
She bowed to the Sparrow.
"I have to admit, Suzume-san, you're very good. It was an honor to witness your style." she said.
