Hashimotos feint drew the Oni's attention, its claws swiping at him as he slid back out of range. It bellowed in anger, turning to the others that had dared interfere. The remaining ronin came at it, his sword skipping off one outstretched arm without seeming to do any further damage. The oni roared again, catching the ronin with another arm as he attempted to fall back.<br/><br/>The blow sent him sliding across the floor, coming to a halt near Mirumoto-sans feet, dazed and bloody, but apparently still in the fight, as he struggled back to his feet.<br/><br/>- - -<br/><br/>The Crane seems to have retreated out of the Onis reach for now, its advance at least temporily halted by the samurai. Though the Onis hide is thick, they have still drawn its blood, and that of its spawn. One of the small creatures lies dead, dissolving into slime, whilst the other flails ineffectually, its attacks no match for samurai skill.<br/><br/>New round action declarations please.
