Chapter 14: Bullet Everywhere!
Io laughs a little.
"Good, you and I have a lot in common then. If we find any of these people you hate, feel free to kill them, far be it from me to keep you from doing what you want to do. However in such scenarios, and in similar cases to my own, personal vengeance will not be helped. We work together but not to harm each other in such a way." Johnny nods.
"Agreed. Let's get this rodeo started." The two head back into town. Io passes by a group of young women. He grins to them and says,
"Hey pretty girls, who wants a job?"(Charisma Roll: 1-1)
They shriek.
"Pervert rapist!" one of them yells. They hurriedly run away. The previously minding-their-own-business men in the surrounding area turn towards Io and Johnny. Some crack their knuckles, some draw weapons, and all 12 or so of them start closing in. Johnny mutters,
"So, what now partner?"

Nikolae dives behind a nearby big rock.
"There is no need for-" he is cut off as a bullet whizzes right past his head. Pulling off a tricky maneuver, Nikolae sticks his sword out to use as a mirror so he can shoot the Yakuza without leaving cover. Getting one in his sights, he pulls the trigger. (3 vs. 6) The shot misses the man completely. As Nikolae misses, this gives one of the Yakuza an opportunity to shoot. (6 vs. 1) The bullet misses Nikolae, but then ricochets off a nearby wooden post and hits him in the head! He blacks out instantly.
.....
Nikolae awakens with a headache. Looking around, he sees he is in a dim, locked room lit by only one candle. He can tell he is sitting, and tries to stand up, but feels a knot tying his hands to the back of the chair. Four men are in the room. One of them tilts the Prussian's head up with one hand. He has a Tanto Knife in his opposite hand.

Due to his fencing classes, he took the habit of donning a chail mail under his clothing.
Biography: Inheritance? Nikolae had no need for such things, especially because his older brother would receive all of it... Anyway, hailing from the Kriegsmacher family from the Prussian area of Germany, Nikolae was given a large sum of gold and convinced to leave the country or face the consequences of a struggle for the ownership of all the family's possessions. The youngster always wanted some adventure, and the prospect of not having to worry about poison in his food and assassins hiding in his bedroom seduced him, and to Japan he went. He is almost always smiling and his intelligence shifts along different areas, causing him to appear to be rather stupid sometimes.
He had fencing classes and carries a longsword along his rifle, which always has an attached bayonet.

lot of response, and he takes it that this village has been a target of theirs. One of the farmer's comes up and bows to Matsuo on his knees.
