Toshi, Taka, Eiji:
(round 7)
Jīva snarls and continues to savage the ronin's leg
(-2). The ronin remains thrown by this unexpected aspect of battle and swings his sword ineffectually at the nimble street dog. Eiji cracks him again in the head with his bo staff
(-2s) and then Taka stabs him from the flank with her dagger
(-6) - the officer swoons and collapses from the collected blows.
(round 8)
Eiji moves directly to the fallen Toshizo and begins bandaging his wounds to stem the bleeding, Jīva licking his face and wagging his tail tentatively. Taka turns in the doorway to see the melee in the adjacent room, drawing a handful of shuriken with grim purpose. On his knees, Ha is struck down by mutiple blows and collapses to the floor, unconscious or dead. Kobi meanwhile brutally dispatches his last three foes then also collapses, a bloody ruin of raw meat. The first officer and one bandit stand in that moment, back to Taka, catching their breath over the bodies (or corpses) of her companions...
(You can draw and hold as many shuriken in your off-hand as you narrative like, but you have to sheath your dagger. Otherwise, you can hold your dagger and draw one shuriken.)

Ha, Kobi:
(Round 7)
Ha pushes up from the floor, struggling to clear his head, and experiences the sharp clarity of the ronin officer's sword
(-5) - pain that helps his focus as he still has his life. Despite his daze and prone position, he is able to swat away their other blows, struggling to regain himself.
Kobi stands against the other three bandits... how is a miracle of will. He yells a
"kiiiiyah!" and brings down his spear in a powerful blow, severing the leg of the bandit to his right, the man falling to the ground in two pieces, screaming.
(dead, and critical hit disabled leg) The remaining two are leary, one striking him with a sword
(-5) before Kobi spins the spear around and runs him through
(-9), letting him slide off onto the floor. The last bandit is wide-eyed as his friends die, now alone.
OOC:
(Round 8)
Clearing his head, Ha rotates his grip to prepare to strike from a low position, but both his nimble foes strike first.
(-8, -5) Ha teeters for a moment, then falls backwards, unmoving on the dirty straw mats and pools of blood that litter the large room.
Kobi swipes at the terrified last bandit, teetering off balance
(crit fail, no effect) and allowing the man to take an emboldened last swipe at him, and miss. Lured inward, the bandit meets his fate as Kobi's spear now cuts upward, bisecting the poor bandit from nave to shoulder
(critical hit, -20). At last, his foes all slain, Kobi collapses to the floor, a bloody ruin.
OOC:
Everything hinges on Taka now...
