Akane slips past the two bandits who have tried to engage like a whisp of air, their strikes hardly coming close enough to even worry about dodging them. They gape open mouthed, then turn and run off into the village, hoping to lose themselves before any other magistrates can break free of the melee inside.<br/><br/>Inside, Hanzos strikes cripple another pair of the bandits, who spin aside with cries of pain, opening the way for Emi to dart past them and out the door. One of the staggering bandits lurches towards Doji-san, who dispatches him with a single swift blow, head parting from its shoulders with a startled expression.<br/><br/>Hashimoto draws the bandit into commiting to an attack, then slices through his over extended form, sending the man staggering back to crash into one of the tables, blood welling from a deep gash.<br/><br/>The injured bandits throw themselves forwards still. They know their lives are forfeit, and seek the mercy of a quick death.<br/><br/>Emi, outside you can see two bandits fairly close, running towards the village, taking different paths. Further out you can see four more, with Akane chasing one of them. The bandits seem to be spreading out, probably in the hope that some will get away.<br/><br/>Akane, agility / athletics roll please for pursuing bandits.
