<blockquote class="uncited"><div> "Oh, we are fortunate, aren't we? I was all but certain we'd need to wait 'til tomorrow to get a proper meal. That's what I love about humans... so considerate." she licks her lips as she looks at Kahimori, but her eyes subtly flick towards the raiders gathering round the caravan. </div></blockquote><br/><br/>Kahmori acts as if he stumbles backwards under her playful push, a faint grin playing on his muzzle "Oh, I'm alot bigger than you think...." He keeps the ruse going, never even hinting that he'd seen the ambush that was being set into motion.<br/><br/>As soon as the ambush is set into motion, and the first human begins to advance, Kahmori's voice drops an octave lower - but it remains filled to the brim with excitement "Humans are quite considerate, arn't they? I guess we should thank them for filling us up after swallowing them, hrm?" He returns the lip-licking gesture, and adds - just as a playful afterthought "A good thing, too. Here I though I was going to have to give you a taste before we got our first meals..." The way he was grinning, it was hard to decide if he was serious...or just kidding.<br/><br/>"I got your back."  He says, turning to face the oncoming tide. When only two humans - a bulky-armed male, and a female in a walking tin can - turn his way, he almost seems dissapointed. Still, this would be a pretty good warm up - it had been nearly a year since his last REAL altercation. Pressing his back up tightly against Xali's, he half-crouches, steeling himself to ensure this human was going to have to go through him...before getting to her.<br/><br/>"...Playtime." Kahmori whispers excitedly under his breath, flexing his hands, preparing them for combat....<br/><br/>Lucas jumps. Kahmori lifts an arm, simply getting ready to bat the blade aside before it ever managed to reach his flesh. However, even the impressive-sized kitsune had misjudged this human's strength. His arm doesn't even budge the blade, which arcs downwards...and across his bare chest. A thick, red line appears - and with it, a painful sting. It was not a deep cut - but it was a painful one! Kahmori's normally snow-white fur instantly begins to turn a sort of deep crimson under the onslaught, and even the stalwart Kitsune stumbles slightly from the onslaught.<br/><br/>"Augh!! Erg.." Still, it would take more than ONE sword stroke to fell the tough vulpine.<br/><br/><blockquote class="uncited"><div> "Come beast, My blade hungers for your flesh" </div></blockquote><br/><br/>"Really?" Kahmori's normally bright features darken, his lips pulling back in a fearsome snarl. It was like staring into a nightmare - except this one was real.<br/><br/>"...Pity it'll have to go hungry."<br/><br/>(Swift action - Kahmori uses 'Magic Fang'. It affects all his natural weapons)<br/><br/>Lucas never sees it coming.<br/><br/>In a movement so fast, barely more than a flicker of action, Kahmori's right foot leaves the ground, and connects solidly with the side of Lucas's head. The sheer force behind the strike was enough to snap bone, rend armor, and tear flesh. The Kitsune's snap-kick might very well have broken the human's neck in that single, swift movement - but he wasn't going to give him another chance to react.<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">My attacks are going to be 'flavored'.

Using that forwards momentum, Kahmori silently swings his left arm, claws flashing in the sunlight. Where once they'd been cleaned meticulously...now, they carried the stain of red. A gaping red slash appears across the left side of Lucas's face, his head jerking back to the right under the force of Kahmori's claws.<br/><br/>(Claw attack - 1d20 (3) + 14 = 17. Hit!)<br/>(Claw Damage - 1d6(1) + 9 =<span style="font-weight: bold">10</span>damage!)<br/><br/>With a loud growl of anger, Kahmori's fearsome jaws open wide, his head snapping forwards viciously. The creak of metal being rended open splits the chaos of combat as the kitsune's amazingly sharp teeth bite through armor, flesh, and practically right to the bone. Clamping his jaws shut on Lucas' shoulder, Kahmori rips upwards - bringing the unfortunate human's body with him. Lucas is picked up off his feet, dragged upwards by the Kitsune's amazingly powerful jaws...<br/><br/>(Bite - 1d20(14) + 14 = 28)<br/>(Bite damage - 1d8(3) + 9 =<span style="font-weight: bold">12</span>damage)<br/><br/>....where he is met by Kahmori's tail. Spinning around, Kahmori's long, fluffy tails come to bare - but with the striking force of a club three times their size. The sound of his tails striking flesh and breaking bone rips through the air, the magically enhanced, supernaturally strong appendages crushing the human under the force of the blow. His body is slung to the side like a ragdoll, where he lays crumpled - unmoving.<br/><br/>(Tail attack - 1d20(9) + 14 = 23.

XD</div></div></div><br/><br/>Sniffing almost daintly, Kahmori shakes his head in dissapointment at the crumpled form of the human just a few feet off to the side "...Hrm. Shoulda ducked."<br/><br/>In the excitement of his first opponent, Kahmori had entirely missed the smaller human who'd ducked right by him...and managed to get to Xali. Taking quick stock of the combat, he spots the deep red gash across the leopardess' middle...he'd stopped one attacker from getting two her, but in his mindset, he'd let another right by...<br/><br/>"...Oh...you...bastard..." He growls under his breath, stepping menacingly towards Brador "...Don't you know it's unkind to strike a lady..."<br/><br/>(5 foot adjustment towards Brador. I have a feeling Xali can easily handle him on her own, though... XD Still, Kahmori doesn't know that!)
