*Oshikuru was having a drink at a nearby tavern. Decent quality drink, but perhaps not so decent quality. No one likes soldiers when they drink. How did Oshikuru get the beer? Because he threatened the bartender. Simple. His new weapon was around his right hand. Sad that the Goluth broke it, but he needed a new weapon anyway. The crimson knuckle rested in his palm. Meanwhile, it was obvious that others looked at him, but were too afraid to approach the Oni. His bounty could be seen on the wall. 20 Gold. Decent.*
Billy
*The tavern does have one person completely unafraid of the Oni, thoug.H. Maybe she's just stupid or maybe she's just that damn brave. Maybe it's a mix.

One of the Oriate kind casually saunters into the tavern and removes her hat, hanging it around her neck. She knows that some asshole might try using that to mess with her. Maybe pull it back, do some generally asshole action. But... Nobody does. She has that general... Aura, if you will.

**"Don't fuck with me."***

*She notices the Oni... Hang on, who's that!?

Fuck, she knows who that is! Not that she cares, a potential helping hand is a good thing... She takes a seat near him, still putting just a little distance. No use just pissing the man off.*
Jeffrey
"...Damn, you've got these guys wrapped around your finger, don't you?"
Billy
*Cowardly pretending to be polite never got her anywhere.*
Rose
*Taking a sip of his drink, he silently laughed at his power as the cool liquid went down his throat. It was just like the legends. Oni were creatures of immense strength and power, and few dared to challenge them. He could basically make people do whatever he wanted. Hearing a nearby voice, Oshi would turn to take a look at the speaker. She seemed like an Oriate. Quite rare. The most outstanding thing about her though, was that she didn't seem to fear him -at all-. Quite an interesting fellow.*

"People always say money makes the world go round. But if you really want to bend people to your will, power is the way to go. Noticed like you're not like anyone else. Who are you?"

*He would notice the two large weapons slung across her back. What seemed like a thinner version of his previous weapon, as well as a long bow, that wasn't quite symmetrical. No armor, but she looked like she knew how to use them.*
Billy
~~She now wears Lamellar btw~~
Jeffrey
"Yeah, but money's a nice way to get that power. Koharu."
Billy
*Koharu leans on her left hand and looks at the bartender, motioning to her newfound "Friend". Hey, may as well enjoy the benefits of being around the Oni, right?*
Jeffrey
"If you may, good sir, I'd like a drink too."
Rose
*The bartender would have a look of fear on his face as he pours the Koharu a drink. Oshikuru would let out a small chuckle.*

"Ah, something I can finally agree with! Oshikuru."

*In the back, some soldiers would start to notice the bounty on the board. Several would get up.*
Billy
*She looks behind her, noticing the soldiers getting up. She slips her hat back on, glaring.*
Brian
6 Soldiers would enter, being of the Brayer race. They are clad in Steel Cuirasses with pauldrons, the arrow-proof variety, each wore a Sallet Helmet, and had a Fachion and Linden Wood, Rawhide Covered, Steel Rimmed Kite Shield in hand. On their backs are composite bows, with about 100 Steel-tipped arrows each, and 5 Francesca-throwing Axes on their hips. Their leader, Soldier 1 (S1), has a slight red-pain-job going on with their helmet.

"Well, looks like we got a wanted criminal here." He says, loudly, and confidently, as he unsheathes his sword. "You there, criminal scum. Prepare to meet your maker!" He cried, boldly, and approached with his goon squad.

With that the rest of the soldiers ready their swords, for what is likely to be a very interesting fight.
Rose
"Ah, so it begins. I don't like 'scum'. How about 'menace' instead?"

*With that, his brass knuckle slips onto his right hand. It's perfectly fitted on top of his gauntlet. He leans over and tells the bartender:*

"Hold my beer."

*He gets up from his barstool, standing straight and arms by his sides. He slips on a helmet, shaped like a skull. His horns suddenly grow longer, and sharper. They look like they could impale a man.*

"How about one of you fight me first, and I'll see if the rest of you are worth it?"
Brian
The Red-helmeted Soldier growls at the question of seeing if they were worthy of the challenge. He huffs, and Soldier 6 stepped forward. S6 is virtually the same as the others. "Name your field of combat." S6 says, with a confident voice. They're soldiers, surely they can handle anything this criminal scum could throw at them!

S1 merely watches, furrowing his brow, with a faint growl, but there's little else S1 will do, or the other 5 Soldiers for that matter in this situation, honor was important, of course. Combat was their natural element, though S6 hoped it would be in GLORIOUS Melee combat, where he personally excelled at.
Billy
*Koharu just looks again at them. Oh for fuck's sake, who are these dipshits? She's as relaxed as it gets. Crossed legs, swivelling around to face the men, slightly drunk... Her body doesn't handle much alcohol, if any, she only drank it to impress the Oni. She gives a slight chuckle as she looks at them all... Oh boy, what a bunch.*
Jeffrey
"Killing things. Something you lot have probably never done in your life."
Billy
*She practically slides out of her chair, pulling out her Naginata and swinging it about.*
Jeffrey
"Okay... You guys want to get to him, you have to get through me."
Rose
"Ah, let me take one on first. I'll turn this Brayer into ground beef!"

"As for my field of combat... Let's say it's not very nice."

*He suddenly takes a martial stance, his right arm, with the fist, close to his side. Looks like he's ready.*
Joanne
"Grooound Beeef?!" S6 Moos angrily, and sheathed his sword, setting aside his shield, as he got into a hand-to-hand stance, a little worried about unarmed fighting, but he's confident. He's a soldier, he will succeed! He must, to honor his squad! "I'll make yooooou eat thoooose words, criminal scum!"

S1 smirked, and watched from where he stood, interested to see this fight play-out now. "Very well, and little girl you're going to get yourself hurt if you intervene." He remarked to Koharu, confident of S6's capabilities in CQC. The rest of the Squad lets off a rather loud "MOO!" To cheer on their squadie.

S6 would take in a breath, and charged Oshikuru, striking out with his fist in a punch that he assumed would hurt, coming from the 8-Str Brayer he was. Although he wished he had an unarmed combat advantage, like spiked gauntlets, or something. Those would certainly be cool for him to use, some-day!
Rose
*Ah, the Brayer. Big and stupid. He's not that smart either, but at least he's fast. Seeing the Brayer launch a right punch, he catches it using both his superior speed and strength in his left hand.Then, he punches upward, delivering a brutal uppercut to the Brayer's elbow, the enchantment of the blood red brass knuckles coming into play.*
Billy
*Sigh. Koharu continues to sip at her drink, motioning for more just to be a showoff. She's a huge lightweight, and it shows... She's already a little tipsy, and looking more than a little unfocused. But fear not. She still has those skills.*
Joanne
The Brayer would moo in pain, as he got uppercutted in the elbow, and clenched his other fist, as he swung with his other-arm, lashing out, as he looked at his, noticing the damage done to him, and his eyes-widening, as he realized what he was getting into now. 

S1 narrowed his eyes, holding onto his sword with an angry "Moo" And a huff. He wasn't liking *This* At all, and noted Koharu was getting drunker, and drunker by the moment, as it is. He tried to think how he could use it to his squad's advantage, only getting madder by the minute. |This isn't going to be a pretty fight at all...| He thought.

The rest of the Squad watches, a bit nervously, questioning what they hoped would be easy pay. It surely wouldn't be now, of course.
Rose
*Oshikuru easily ducks under the wild swing, his right hand placed near his hip, Karate style. The crimson surface of his weapon strikes with inhuman speed, landing in the groin of the Brayer, then rises up into an uppercut with the same arm. This was fun.*
Joanne
S6 Would Moo in pain, upon taking the hit to his groin, and fell to his knees, his pained noises getting louder as his armor began complaining to the abuse it was taking, noticeable damage, and a hole beginning to form form the hits to his arm. "Argh! Damn you, you criminal scum!" He'd Moo out, and tried to rise back up to his feet.

S1 Narrowed his eyes, stamping his feet, as he got angrier, and angrier at this outrageous fight that was humiliating one of his men, a hand reaching for his Falchion, though he knew better than to pull it out before S6 either surrendered, got knocked out, or fled the tavern.

S6 struggles to restore his honor, lashing out wild and uncontrollably in his anger from behind hit.
Rose
*Ah, rage. Such a bestial aspect of war, yet it served a purpose. But this Brayer had yet to learn how to control it. Quickly stepping back to avoid the strike, Oshikuru runs back in, grabbing the Brayer's horns, and introduces his face into the Oni's knee. As the cow is sent back from the impact, the demon looses a right hook into the dazed Itchsu's face.*
Billy
*Koharu is getting... Incredibly drunk. She finally trips over for just a moment, giggling like an idiot all the while. She adjusts her hat and her lamellar bracers. She props herself up with the Naginata...*
Jeffrey
"I'm... *Hic* I'm ready for one of you... F'ck'n, mouthbreathers...
Billy
*Her voice is incredibly slurred. She's barely paying attention. Oh God, she's trying way too hard to impress this guy, isn't she... With her sole rational brain cell, she realises how far she pushed it.*
Jeffrey
"Normally fuck'n... Better than this shit..."

"Fuckin' Oni, ya better be worth all this.."
Joanne
S6 would be stunned, and struggling to find the energy to keep getting up, slowly trying to rise to his feet, before his body disagreed with him, and he fell back down, burdened by the weight of his armor, and his poor stability in that moment. "Damn you! You... You cheated somehow!" He snarled.

S5 would approach Koharu slowly, confusedly. "Miss... You seem to be... Drunk, maybe you shouldn't get involved?" He asked, politely. They didn't *Want* To hurt a civilian by choice afterall.

S1 approached S6, growling, and grabbed his arm. "Get up you stupid fool! You're dishonoring you squad by giving up like this!" He snarled. As scared as S6 is of failing his squad leader, he *Just* Can't fight anymore, and once he's let go, and falls again, with a weak, exhausted moo. Notably his coinpurse falls off his side during this third attempt.

"Alright, I've had it with you." S1 Mooed angrily, unsheathing his Falchion with a glare. "You're going down right now!" He said, confidently, and readied his shield.
Rose
*Watching the Minotaur stumble back and fall, Oshikuru has a smug grin on his face. The brayers were renowned for their strength, yet this one got his ass beat.*

"Hahahahahaha! You think I need to cheat to defeat a clumsy oaf such as you? That would be downgrading myself. In combat, there are no rules. You fight till you drop, and you just dropped. To think a Beastkin, especially a Brayer, would be so weak."

*To add even more insult, Oshikuru does a thumbs down with his right hand. Then, he looks towards Koharu. Seems like she can't handle as much alcohol as he can. Wonder how she fights. He then would hear the clink of a coinbag. Nice. Then the leader would draw his Falchion and level a shield. Was that wood? Interesting. He takes another stance, this time much more prepared for combat.*

"Come on, you can do better! I'm just getting warmed up!"
Joanne
S6 would remain down, and S1 huffed, stamping his foot, and turning his body, preparing to ~~Bull rush~~, charge Oshikuru for insulting his squadmate. His anger kept growing, and he charged quickly with his Brayer natural charge, mooing angrily. "You're gunna regret calling one of my men weak!" He growled.

The rest of the squad, readied their weapons, but said nothing currently. They weren't sure how this fight would go, and didn't wish to interrupt what could be a chance to regain the squad's honor. "Yooooou can do it boss!" S2 and S3 cheered.
Jeffrey
"Don't know... About that, honey, I mean-I mean you're tryin', but you ain't gettin' far, really.."
