Io and Johnny book it, fleeing from the town with a mob of angry peasants armed with improvised weaponry tailing them. Io drew his pistol and yelled to his partner, "
Shoot them!" Io pointed his pistol to his rear and fired a running shot. (5-1) There was a cry of pain and one of the pursuers fell to the ground. Johnny removed his Revolver and fired back into the crowd. (6-1) There were more cries as several of the villagers fell to the ground. With nearly a third of them dead, the remaining villagers ran back out of fear. When the mob was out of their sight, Io and Johnny stopped, panting hard.

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.

Matsuo inspects his Left Knee. (Intelligence Roll: 3) He'd need to find a doctor who could operate medical tools to relocate it. Two men pick him up and begin to carry him. The farmer says,
"I know you are injured, so my sons will carry you. Would you like to go to the local monk? Perhaps he knows how to relive this injury."Name: Matsuo Satoshi
Gender: Male
Age: 32
Clan: Banke
Health: Left Knee has been dislocated.
Appearance: A Giant of a man with a muscular body honed through years of training and small conflicts. Despite taking part in a number of duels and minor battles Satoshi remains unscarred. He wears his hair extremely long giving rise to a local myth that he will only shave it when he is defeated in battle
Biography: A legend among his people Satoshi's boisterous and warrior like nature have seen him become a popular figure among the Imperialist small-folk and samurai alike. He has a great love of battle and prefers to fight with traditional methods, though he does not look down on the men who have adapted to more modern ways. Satoshi is not well liked by a number of the higher ranked imperial officals due to his brashness but his fighting ability is well respected, meaning that while he may never have a command of his own he is still a potent weapon when simply pointed towards the enemy.
While Satoshi would prefer Japan to remain true to its traditional ways he does not disrespect the Shogunate and sees them as a worthy opponent who have presented him with the opportunity of a life-time to prove himself.
