Hida Emi barely acknowledges or notices the Scorpion's words behind her.  After all, the middle of a fight to the death isn't really the time to make acquaintances.  It's enough to know that the Scorpion bushi doesn't seem to be immediately threatening her as she faces off with the three bandits left inside the warehouse.<br/><br/>Sizing up the trio of villains in front of her, Emi notes the wide wound from her cut on the one in the middle.  That'll hamper him somewhat.  Hida Bushi learn on the Wall that when facing superior numbers, sometimes it's more important to cripple many than kill one.  Emi switches her gaze to the one on the left, a previously unwounded bandit and lunges towards him, aiming to cleave him with the curve of her grandmother's blade.<br/><br/>(Attack roll, 30.  Damage roll, 33)
