Initiative Roll:

-----------------------
"Come and get me, Miharu-chan!"

My arms flick between three positions faster than the eye can see, finally arriving at a complex guard that presents very few openings.

Tessa
For attack to succeed, roll of 3d6 must be lower than 20
[roll]3d6

[VampyreLord]

I am impressed by her defensive move, but I won't be beaten so easily.

"After you, Asuka-chan!"

I immediately adopt an advanced fighter's guard.

Zashin

For this tech to succeed, a roll of 3d6 must be lower than 24
[roll0]

[Neve]

"Here I come!"

I break my guard, sprinting towards you, using shunpo every few steps, traversing the ground between us with alarming speed. At a metre from you, I perform a final shunpo, re-materialising behind you, and swinging my zanpakutou upwards at your spine in an attempt to dis-able you.

Tohon-Kishin
For attack to succeed, roll of 3d6 must be lower than 24
[roll0]

[VampyreLord]

To save, I must beat 10 (8+6-4) on 3d6...

(3d6)[8]
-----------------------
I cry out in pain and surprise as your blade pierces my back and I drop to one knee, drained by the shock of your attack, and find myself unable to retaliate...

[Neve]

Taking advantage of your momentary immobility, I jump into the air, arcing into an elegant forward flip. My zanpakutou glows a bright white as I drop backwards towards the ground and, with as much force as possible, I drive it towards your unprotected body, its speed increased by the reiatsu flowing through it.

Shunpo Blade
For attack to succeed, roll of 3d8 must be equal to or lower than 20
[roll0]

[VampyreLord]

To save, I must beat 10 on 3d6...

[roll0]
-----------------------
Asuka's attack was far too fast for me to get out of the way completely, but I darted to one side, meaning that her blade ripped through my shoulder rather than my chest. I did my best to keep my balance and ignore the pain.

I sped forward, and aimed a flurry of snake jabs at her upper body...

She-Quan combo attack
For attack to succeed, 3d6 must be lower than 24.
(I can't fail, so I won't bother rolling).

[Neve]

Save:
To save, must beat 9 on 3d6
[roll0]

I stumble backwards, surprised by your sudden recovery, and attempting feebly to block some of your weaker attacks. Finally, a snake jab lands on my neck, and I stumble, clutching a hand to my neck and presenting an obvious opening.

[VampyreLord]

Unwilling to relinquish this opportunity, I leap over her head and deliver a driving kick to her spine.

Verticle Blow
To succeed, 3d8 must be lower than 24
(I can't fail, so I won't bother rolling).

[Neve]

Save
To save, must beat 9 on 3d6
[roll0]
-----------------------
I look up to see your foot rushing towards my head, and throw myself out of the way, feeling your bood connect with my leg as I do so.

[VampyreLord]

Keeping up the pressure, I attack again.

Attacking with fists
7 attack dice (3 strength, +2 level bonus, +2 from greater weapon focus).
Each attack hits on an 8, 9 or 10 and does 8 HP of damage. Your evasion of 2 means that 2 hits will automatically miss.

[roll0]
[roll1]
[roll2]
[roll3]
[roll4]
[roll5]
[roll6]

[Neve]

I manage to evade two of your attacks, but the third strikes my head. I shunpo backwards, adopting my fighter's guard again. A single, long blue hair drifts to the floor, ripped out by your strike. My face hardens.

"Enough of this."

Reiatsu swirls around my body, focussing onto my arms. I draw a single kanji in the air. The spirit force swirling around me increases to even higher levels. I run towards you, swinging my leg up at your chin.

Demon Rush
For attack to succeed, must roll under 24 on 3d10
[roll0]

[VampyreLord]

Saving throw
Must beat 10 on 3d6

[roll0]
-----------------------
Before I can react, your heel strikes my chin, snapping back my neck horribly and sending me staggering backwards when you shunpo behind me and attack again, a driving punch to the small of my back.
-----------------------
Weakened by pain yet strengthened by anger, I launch another, desperate attack.

She-Quan combo attack
Attack automatically succeeds (3d6 is always lower than 24)

(itsovernow, remember, your guard Tessa has worn out now, as has my Zashin - the DC to save will be 14)

[Neve]

Save
Must roll over 14 on 3d6 to save
[roll0]
-----------------------
Overconfident after my success at the challenging 'Demon Rush', falter at blocking your attack, only to recieve another possibly fatal jab to the throat, rendering me immobile yet again.

[VampyreLord]

I charge forwards and lash out with both fists, determined to finish this fight right now.

Double Punch
For this attack to succeed, a roll of 3d6 must be lower than 12. The DC is 11.

(3d6)[6]

[Neve]

Save
Must beat DC of 11 on 3d6
[roll0]
-----------------------
As your fists swing towards my face, I swing my guard up at the last minute, blocking one of your attacks. The other one, unfortunately, evades my guard, and strikes me hard on the side of the head.

[VampyreLord]

*OOC: itsovernow, you're on 32 HP, not 47, you forgot the HP damage of my last She-Quan combo attack*

"Time to finish this!"

I gracefully leap into the air in preparation to deal the coup de grace.

Vertical Blow
Attack cannot fail, so I won't bother rolling. DC for half damage is 14.

[Neve]

Save
Must beat 14 on 3d6
(3d6)[15]
-----------------------
Your foot swings towards me and catches me hard in the side of the head. I fly sideways and land, crouched on the ground. As you stand over me, ready to deliver the final blow, I look up at you and smile.

"Bad luck, Miharu-chan! It's not over yet!"

I shunpo behind you and, with my last remaining energy and spirit force, drive my fist into the back of your neck, sending you crashing to the ground.

Tohon-Kishin
It cannot fail, so I won't bother rolling.

[VampyreLord]

There is no point in rolling my save, because even if I pass, I'm out cold.

I barely feel the final blow, my body overcome with numbness and exhaustion. I drop to my knees, and manage a weak smile.

"Nice moves"

My vision fades, and I slump to the floor...

[Neve]

I smile and stagger away from you, covered in bruises, but confident in the knowledge that I have beaten my main rival in the art of Hohou, Yamashita Miharu.

*OOC: really great battle, vampy, really close =D. I was sooo lucky with my save near the end, otherwise you would definitely have won.*

[VampyreLord]
