The woman scowled, while the man growled. "Fuck you bitch!" He screamed as he charged at Kome Spoiler: Combat Kome -> 38+20 (against a civilian) +10(preparation) = success Bandit 1 - > 2+10(man)= greater success Kome easily dodged the man's swing, but as she was passing him, he suddenly changed direction, kicking her in the stomach and knocking the air out of her. She stumbled - and that gave the woman an opening... Spoiler: Combat Kome -> 12+20 (against a civilian)-10 (weakened after attack) = success Bandit 3 - >83 + 10(weakened after attack) = failure The woman had an opening, but as she attacked, she took a to big swing with her sword. Kome got into her personal space, making it impossible for the woman to hit her - and slammed her palm right above the woman's pussy, using her skill. The bandit gave a soft moan, as she squirted. Slowly she fell on her knees, as her eyes rolled back in her head. She fell to the ground uncouncious.
Kome looked at the last bandit. “Last chance to run away and save yourself. Or would you rather join your two friends?” She offered as she prepared to face the bandit's attack.
The man growled. "Fuck you slut! Do you know what I will do to you once I get you!?" He charged. Spoiler: Combat Kome -> 13+20 (against a civilian) = success Bandit 1 - >20+10(man) = success The two crashed. Kome dodged the man's attack and threw a punch of her own, but the man dodged. A moment later he threw a kick, but Kome made a backflip, jumping above his leg. A moment of combat, and the two again, stood facing each other.
“Very well then. You had your chance.” Kome sighed as she looked at the man. She pretended to be waiting for his attack, but as soon as he began to move she rushed him, trying to take him by surprise.
Kome started running, Spoiler: Combat Kome -> 27+20 (against a civilian) +5 (supprise) = Bandit 1 - >3 + 10 (man)= greater success The moment she launched her palm, she knew that her attack was good... but the damn bandit somehow evaded it - more, he launched his own attack! "Gh!" Kome gave a strangled groan, as she felt his fist land on her groin. She took a few steps back, shocked - the man used this moment to advance on her...
Thinking quickly Kome took another step back and fell down on her knees, pretending to be hurt worse than she really was. She was hoping to surprise the man when he got close enough.
Spoiler: Trick 69 +20 (against civilian) = success For a moment Kome thought that the man would not take a bait, but then, he smirked - it seemed that her deception worked. She waited until the man was but a few steps from her, then she launched her strike. Spoiler: Combat Kome -> 53+20 (against a civilian) +10 (supprise) = success Bandit 1 - > 63 + 10 (man)= failure The man did not even realise what was happening, until Kome's palm connected with the man's chest. His eyes widened, as a bulge filled his pants. A moment later, bandits' eyes rolled back as he gave a soft groan. The man fell on the ground, his body shaking from pleasure, his pants stained with his seed.
“Finally! Lucky bastard!” Kome exclaimed as the man fell down. After catching her breath Kome first made sure that all three bandits were unconscious, then stripped them naked and tied them up tightly in such a way that even a kunoichi would have trouble getting free. After that she searched them to see if they were carrying anything of value.
As she sought through their things, she found that they had in total 14 gold coins. Besides that, there were not many things of interest. The weapons they had were two sticks and a knife.
Well, time to go collect the reward for these three. Might as well see if Sho and Kiyoshi had any luck. Kome decided. After double-checking and making sure that her captives would not be getting free or running away any time soon she woke them up and headed for Shoda village, forcing the trio to follow her.
It took some convincing, but the bandits were helpless to oppose Kome. The sun was setting down when Kome finally arrived at the Shoda village... She just made it out of the forest, when the village came to view.
Kome wasted no time leading her captives to the village and looking for any guards to hand them over to. After she had handed them over and received any bounties for them she would look for a place to stay.
Kome received 150 gold coins for the bandits. Soon, she found a a place to stay in the tavern - where she meet both Kiyoshi and Sho.
“Oh, hey, you two. I hope you had some luck in getting the medicine. I encountered a trio of bandits and brought them to get the bounty for them. Now I need some rest...” Kome's words were interrupted by a yawn “...I'll see you later...” And with that Kome went to get some well-deserved rest. Meanwhile Kiyoshi looked at Sho. “Well, time to go find some medicine... unless you would rather go visit your friend...” She smirked at her fellow kunoichi. (I'm choosing Kiyoshi next.)
Sho shrugged. "I can go with you, or each of us will go her own way." She paused. "You have an idea where to start?"
“Well, let us start at the market and see what is for sale. We'll go from there. If we find the right medicine, or the right person, quickly enough we can also take a look at the board, just to see what jobs are currently available.” Kiyoshi shared the plan she had come up with.
"Hmm... Wouldn't it be easier to just go to lady Mitsugu and asked her for help?" Sho asked as she got up. "You know, I have no idea what kind of medicine we need..."
“We can always do that later. For now let's try the market and at least see what is available. Besides, even if we go to the lady, how would she or her servants know what medicine we need? They would be relying on our information, unless they are already familiar with the kind of snake Osa encountered.” Kiyoshi pointed out.
Sho paused, then nodded slowly. "Sounds good." She said as she started following Kiyoshi to the market. Spoiler: ? 99 - greater fail Both women walked around the market, asking around and looking for medicine. Finally, they found a stand that dealt with medicine. And for fifteen coins, they managed to secure an antidote. Now, they only had to return and deliver it... or stay longer in town and try to find someone with healing background...
(Ouch!) “Alright, so far so good... Let's try to find a healer and consult with them, just in case. We probably should have done this first, but... oh, well... In any case better to waste a bit of time but make sure we have what we need than have to come back again later – that will take even longer.” Kiyoshi told her fellow kunoichi.
