Dark Edge Village

Alright gang. Let us discuss our options. strategies. what we're looking for in a man. Maybe not one of those.

Anyway, I'll likely just spend my first turn trying to convince mr.orokos that I'm friendly.

Will do what hida does best. Bash and defend. Repeat.

I get the impression that isn't possible, but since everyone else is in defense stance, I'll probably hang back and try not to die.

Otherwise, I'll probably attempt grapples just to open it up to you guys and minimize dragon based death.

Of course, once injured, I may withdraw.

Won't know unless I try.

I have no idea what I'm doing outside of running in and attacking.

Just note that it's a combat thread.

Granted.

Still, would like a chance to try to calm it down a bit maybe.

On the other hand, I could also delay my action (assuming I'm at the top of init) until it attacks us or something

I'm hoping to just smack it good. Shame I don't have Fei though for Kharmic Tie.

If you start in defense you are stuck there first round.

Why I find all the defense stances a bit silly.

Also, looking at the situation, if I, despite being blessed by sakkaku can't talk to it, I doubt you can.

Ok boys and girls in attack stance.

Try and delay until after I go if you can?

I could grapple, and that drops the armor TN of the beastie so you can call raises.

Too late. Yolo.

Large things like Otaku Battle Steeds have a trait called Huge, making them immune to grapple. I image the Orochi does too

...

Well that ruins my plan.

So does the dead mantis.

*not dead*

You can still probably attack it with juijutsu. TN 20. Any damage we can put on it helps.
