Hida Emi strides through the opened doors and into the warehouse, fighting the urge to smirk.  Cranes and Scorpions can say what they wish about etiquette; the Path a Crab walks still gets results.  Settling her face into her typical mask of stern resolve she looks around the warehouse briskly.<br/><br/>Suddenly, she hears a shout behind her and spins, seeing bandits rushing forth.  Emi feels a surge of excitement -- Finally, an enemy she can face with her grandmother's sword in hand and defeat for the honor of the Imperial Hantei and the Crab Clan.  She draws swiftly draws her katana, settling it into her palms.  Emi flicks a glance over to the Thunder Guardsman and the two warehouse guards, wondering who's side the treacherous Scorpions will be on this fight.<br/><br/>She decides it better be hers -- Otherwise, she's likely to die with honor this fight.  Well, death is the way of a Samurai and she has no choice but to succeed or die in the attempt.<br/><br/>"FIGHT THEM, YOU FOOLS!" Emi roars assuming a defensive stance as she prepares for the clash of steel.<br/><br/>(Initiative roll, 10 + 9, 7 = 26)
