Hida Emi's eyes widened as the oni slashed at her with it's cruel claws.  She twisted with a grace few would have imagined from a woman of her size, shifting back to let the blow clang against her Kaiu forged armour.  (Spending a Void point to use the Mountain Does Not Move, rolling 20 to negate wounds.)  Emi says a brief prayer of thanks to the spirit of noble Kaiu, who's children's careful work has protected her family through the generations.<br/><br/>Though her armour is scarred by the blow, it holds.  Emi looks over her shoulder, at the other Magistrates and the rallying Crane and ronin.  She quickly decides they can handle the spawn of the Oni.  Emi feels that she must pursue the Oni itself, before it summons an entire army of horrific demons to assault the heart of the city.<br/><br/>Emi darts around the spawn that the Oni flung at her, aiming to pursue the oni into the Garden and engage it again.
