Hayato shifts into the full attack stance, and recklessly charges the Akahoshi Samurai! (
440(19)9596=43|
636389=17|17-1=16) Plowing through Ted's pitiful attempt at a parry, and catching him square in the chest before he can use his training to dodge out of the way! Ted is severely injured by the attack!
Katsu attempts to regain control of his horse, (
18647=21) and is able to do so, now that he is well away from the combat. He begins to ride it back, bringing himself and the horse 50 feet from the battle.
Injured, Ted still shifts out of his defensive stance and attempts to strike! (
0(17)8949=26) But due to his grievous injuries and Hayato's training, is unable to properly counter the attack.
Asane continues to guard herself, waiting for her turn to engage Ted in fair combat.

As you walk, you come across the train tracks running out of and through Sumeru once more. While you were briefly in the village, you had overheard that the train was stalled for a reason that even the conductors did not know. You see now that this is true: A train sits upon the tracks, derelict in the middle of the forest.
Kenage & Oshaberi"Fleeing into the crowd, Moretsu-sama," the Geisha replies, just as the doctor enters followed by an assistant and the men who had gone to fetch him, "and being pursued by the samurai who had challenged them."
Outside, now that the shouting has died down, you hear the whinny of a horse and the clash of steel on steel. It seems at least one of the Samurai was caught, and is now fighting back.
