Distracted by their own struggles, neither the humans or their undead assailants noticed Saeko until she was upon them, her battle-cry grabbing all of their attention as she slashed at one of the putrid creatures with her blade. However, her enthusiasm may have gotten the better of her; turning to discover the source of the noise behind it, the ghoul that Saeko had targeted managed to pull away and avoid her attack. Confusion quickly replaced by fury, Saeko's target turned and charged at her, with another one of the ghouls joining it in its assault on the beautiful samurai. Both of the creatures swung their claws at the newcomer, but neither managed to do more than lightly glance her armour.<br/><br/>For a moment, the two men that the ghouls had attacked stared at their unexpected ally with shock, but they had no time to ponder the situation; two of the ghouls continued to claw at the younger of the pair, while the well-dressed old man still had one of the foul beasts to deal with. Distracted, perhaps by the new arrival (or perhaps by her alluring appearance and revealing attire), the young warrior failed to do little more than fend off the two undead who sought to take his life. Meanwhile, it appeared for a moment as if the ghoul attacking the old man was about to rake his claws across his chosen victim's face, only for the old man to deftly lean out of the way of the attack, demonstrating surprising agility for his age.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Saeko's Combat</div><div class="spoiler_body">*Saeko Amakusa Attacks Desert Ghoul (4)*<br/>Roll = 29; Hit<br/><br/>*Desert Ghoul (4) Evades*<br/>Roll = 7; Success<br/><br/>*Desert Ghoul (4) Attacks Saeko Amakusa*<br/>Roll = 97; Miss<br/><br/>*Desert Ghoul (5) Attacks Saeko Amakusa*<br/>Roll = 53; Miss<br/><br/></div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Other Combat</div><div class="spoiler_body">*Young Warrior Attacks Desert Ghoul (1)*<br/>Roll = 89; Miss<br/><br/>*Old Man Attacks Desert Ghoul (2)*<br/>Roll = 36; Miss<br/><br/>*Desert Ghoul (1) Attacks Young Warrior*<br/>Roll = 51; Miss<br/><br/>*Desert Ghoul (2) Attacks Old Man*<br/>Roll = 8; Hit<br/><br/>*Old Man Evades*<br/>Roll = 1; Success<br/><br/>*Desert Ghoul (3) Attacks Young Warrior*<br/>Roll = 86; Miss<br/><br/></div></div>
