His eyebrows rise and his eyes go wide for several seconds expecting Kibaru to laugh, before his expression lightens and he bursts out laughing. The men around him laugh alongside him and they eventually manage to compose themselves as the one who started laughing finishes. He regards Kibaru up and down and proclaims loudly "Yous 'nd what army pal!" He raises his shield and begins to march forwards - the six or so other bandits following in his steps. They will be within attacking range within a singular turn...

*Kibaru would immediately rush straight at them. His right hand grabbing the shield at the side and pulling ti away as his left hand grabbed his right forearm. After that, he would bite straight at his arteries and try to rip out a chunk*

He rushes forwards and clashes into the mans shield. Grabbing it with one arm is a difficult thing since this man is no push over, so as Kibaru wrestles to take control of the shield one of the more brave bandits comes forwards and cuts into Kibarus exposed torso. The small blade used by the bandit doesn't cut deep but it does hurt. Eventually he's able to pull the mans shield away and hold onto his other arm - even as the other bandits move to surround him, blocking off any escape routes and winding up to lay out a hail marie of barely-better-then-peasant-weapons on him. The time taken to wrestle the shield out of the way made it impossible to go in for a bite in a single turn.

*Kibaru's hand on the bandits arm would let go and slash straight at his neck. The second he let go his claws would reveal themselves. He would then wrap around the arm of his tails around the bandit that cut him. The pain of being cut was bearable and the wound would immediately stop bleeding*

The claws rake across the gambeson that makes up the bandits coif. The protection offered manages to mitigate most of the cutting force, causing it to only cause superficial neckwounds that quickly stain the off white cloth a crimson red. His tails manage to wrap around one of the bandits, who provides to slash and cut at the tail in a wanton effort to get it to release him. This likely hurts more then it actually damages, regardless the other bandits begin to beat on him - mostly using sticks and other peasant weapons. He'll probably be walking away with a lot of bruises and probably some knots in his muscles, but they can't seem to hit hard enough to do any tangible damage.
John
*Kibaru would then try again. This time he would punch straight at the bandits face with full force. Kibaru was ignoring the damage, but his almost at his limit. The tail would also tug the bandit it was holding, trying to throw him of balance*
