*Yet another day, yet another settlement in need of help. This time, it is another high elven estate requesting help. The farmstead is located in a vast, flat floodplains, much like the prairie in America. Occasional herd of animals roamed through the plains, as much of the steppe has been abandoned to the wilds.

Zara's destination - An estate seeking help with a bunch of wooden Kuilei, would be in front of her. A manor lord is nowhere to be seen, but their two storey manor house is definitely visible from the distance.*
Rita
*Zara arrived at the estate on the cart she hired to bring her to this destination. She got up, climbed out, paid the cart driver, and went to the estate.
She read that people were in need of help regarding golems. Pay didn't seem so bad and since it wasn't too risky at first glance, Zara didn't mind taking this one.
Zara adjusted the Katana on her hip and ensured her long Odachi was fastened on her back to prevent dragging on the ground. Such good swords, the last thing she wanted was for one of them to break right before potential battle.
Zara approaches the estate, entering the grounds and declaring herself to any guards or groundskeepers that may be concerned by her presence. She sought the estate master to speak about this problem.*
Deann
*There would be a Qua worked who directed her to the manor house. After a few minutes, a well dressed female high elf in robe would walk out of the house's front door, and waved at the human.*
"Morning stranger. I assume you're an adventurer here to dela with our Kuilei problem, right?"
Rita
"Indeed," *Zara confirmed.* "Have you had problems with these beings in the past, or have they recently arrived?"
*Zara wanted to ask questions before heading out to deal with it. Whether they were new or have been here for longer could affect the severity of the problem and how difficult it may be to solve it.*
Deann
"Only a recent arrival, I believe. Been driven here from another estate. Appeared perhaps, a month ago or so. My worker spotted a pair of them in the plains, carrying sword and shield."
Rita
*Zara mentally noted the weapons the Kuilei were confirmed to have.*
"Are these Kuilei wooden or made of another material?" *Zara asked. What they were made of could affect Zara's options. If they were stone, Zara's blades may suffer damage and she may be forced to use other strategies to destroy them - if they were wooden, she could use Red Shift with her Nodachi to cleave them into pieces.*
Deann
"All wooden. We haven't seen anything stone like yet. That'd require quite the experienced adventurer to deal with, anyway. But they probably outnumber you, so you should be careful." 
*The manor lord explained.*
Rita
*'All wooden'. She could use her Nodachi for greater effectiveness.*
"Is there anything else I must know about the Kuilei?"
Deann
"They have great endurance and a lot of them like to use shields. Sturdy one."
Rita
"Where do I go from here to find them?" *She asked. Zara was ready to get to work.*
Deann
"Three miles of here is the Punting Creek, the Kuilei was last spotted somewhere around there. There might be more than two, but the grasses this time of the year isn't tall, so you can find them easily."
Rita
"Very well. Thank you, miss."
*If nothing else was to be said or done between the two, Zara would then proceed to leave and make her way to the grounds where the Kuilei were reported to be present.*
Deann
*After a short walk in the plains, Zara would spot smoke from a campfire in the distance. There would be no tents or anything near where the campfire came from, and there weren't anything to be seen either, except a... Roast rabbit on top of the campfire. However, the grasses is around half a meter tall, so she might need to approach closer to see anything lying down.*
Rita
*Zara stood still after making the distance to alternate her Radiance Sense and allow her to see 20 metres in all directions from where she was. She detected the smoke, suggesting a campfire.
Zara breathes in and could smell food. Someone was nearby.
If anything else moved around her before she started moving, she'd notice.
Zara then proceeded to approach the campfire. She started a moderate-speed run toward the campfire, her revelation returning to normal as a result.*
Deann
*In the grasses she could sense that three humanoid were lying down, with shield and sword next to them. The campfire didn't obscure her revelation at all.

There was also spare weapons and cooking pot, and it seems there is a total of five Kuilei who is using the camp. Though only three is present for now.

The running would alert the Kuileis, who strappes their shield and readied their swords, standing together in a shieldwall formation.*
Rita
*Zara sensed them coming out to fight, and immediately drew her katana, blade forward and handle held with both hands. She assumed a typical katana stance, with the weapon forward to allow for easy guarding.
Her Radiance glowed as battle seemed to commence, though Zara did not perform any actions yet. She waited for the enemy to attack first.
Zara's current immobility allowed her Radiance Sense to alternate, giving her the 360 degree radius, 20 metre range revelation again. This would allow her to sense anything sneaking up behind her as well, but only until she moved again.*
Deann
*All of the Kuilei carried standard sword at 80cm long, manufactured with a simple crossguard. Their kite shield is of standard dimension.*

*One of them walked to 15 meters in front of Zara, staying still while the other two circled to her left and right, keeping the same distance from her.*
Rita
*Zara continued to keep her stance and kept her focus on the Kuilei. Before battle commences however, she would sheathe her Katana and proceed to pull out her Nodachi.
It's a somewhat lengthy process, drawing a Nodachi, as the blade is considerably long and better held in hand during combat. The blade is considerably long, and the handle allows for better force to be applied to blade swings and blocks, allowing for Zara to have good range, potentially deflect attacks, and knock her foes off-balance while also cleaving through their wooden bodies.
Zara took the Nodachi off her back, pulling it from the scabbard and putting the scabbard back afterwards, then holding the blade upright with both hands on the crossguard. Zara shifted her feet for a wider stance to allow for better footwork, and kept her head forward. She was then ready to fight.*

*As the Macen switched weapon, the Kuilei in front stepped in closer, to ten meters away. The other one ran to the left and right, trying to surround her in a triangle shape before launching their attack.*

*To make matter worst, all of them let out a high pitched, seemingly incoherent scream.*
Rita
*Zara then went for an attack, sprinting forward for the Kuilei in front of her. Though her movement returned her revelation to normal, within a few steps the one puppet would be close enough for her to see.
She'd immediately open with a powerful cleave, swinging the Nodachi out at the Kuilei from the side with one hand 'pushing' the handle while the other pulls the end back, allowing for considerable force to be applied to the attack.
This attack could deal tremendous damage if it landed, or stagger the enemy if it was blocked.*

**Same Status**
Deann
*The puppet, thanksfully, had no understanding of her vision problem. But it understand that an angry girl with more strength than expected is charging at him.

He raised the kite shield and charged forward, slamming the shield to the side in an attempt to deflect the ambitious strike. By presenting the shield perpendicularly, it becomes thicker and also deflect her force. The nodachi might bite into the shield, though it wont cut through. Luckily for her, strong weapon like Nodachi is easy to pull out of the shield.

The Kuilei attempted to close in for a gut stab. If Zara stopped, her revelation would reveal that the two Kuilei are now charging her from behind, sword raised and shield in front.*
Rita
*Zara backed up, bringing back the Nodachi out of the shield, and evading the stab.
She heard the other Kuilei approaching her from her blind spots. Didn't see, but could hear. She had better hearing to compensate for lack of proper vision.
Zara charged her Radiance, then released a Wave Blast against the Kuilei in front of her to send him away, giving her room to then avoid the other two who approached by swiftly moving out of their attacks.
She'd reassume her stance and hold the Nodachi as normal again, preparing to defend from other incoming attacks.*
