Yes indeed. See here: post

The others see the goblins abruptly change course and jump Souta, who collapses to the ground under their blades.

(Round 3, Phase 9)
Seing the bakemono-sho breaking and fleeing before the monk and his dog, heading for the collapsed Souta, Toshizo draws a willow leaf arrow from his quiver and loosed it at a warty bake near Eiji Souta. The arrow sails overhead, lost in the night.

(Round 3, Phase 6)
Eiji acts at the top of the phase, able to strike before they move. The two bakemono-sho nearest him then move 4 hexes at the bottom of the phase. Then Ha acts on Phase 5.

Eiji will continue to chase Bakemono.

Ha will fire an arrow at the bakemono near the cave.

Remember you're free to do your own rolls; I'll help by rolling if you don't.

Turn Order: (Round 3, Phase 6)
In pursuit of the bakemono-sho, Eiji swings his spade before they can escape his reach. The loose grave soil is slippery, however, and the spade flies from his hands as he loses balance, landing behind him to the right and teetering at the edge of the grave hole. The bake sprint away in the direction of Souta.
(Round 3, Phase 5)
Souta collapses under the wakizashi of the bake in the dim light beyond the fire. Ha pulls back his dai-kyu and releases a shot at her malefactors. The togari arrow leaps from the bow, flying straight and true, and punches straight through the head of the center bakemono-sho standing over her (#2). The others startle at the abruptness, murderous desire momentarily replaced by fear.
Secondary action for Toshizo (if he wants to change weapons). Action for Taka?

Taka, not deterred by her earlier attempt and the yawning blackness of the cave opening, attempts to send her mind from the utsushiyo to the kakuriyo once more.

Astral Senses (BCS 12)[1d20]=14

Turn Order: Taka, not deterred by her earlier attempt and the yawning blackness of the cave opening, attempts to send her mind from the utsushiyo to the kakuriyo once more. The darkness is greedy, desirous... it pulls at her, sucking against the bonds of her mortal form, pulling her in. She sees a figure ahead but cannot fully discern it - she makes out a mouth, toothsome and with large tusks on upper and lower jaws curving. It turns towards her and grins lasciviously. Then a clatter behind her mortal form startles her and she is looking through her mortal eyes once more.

Ha and Toshizo see a watakushi arrow come out of the darkness from the direction of the cave, sailing over Taka's head while she stands, unaware, and embeds itself in the wood siding of the building behind her.
(Round 4, Phase 12)
The leading bakemono-sho grasps the unconscious Amano Souta and resumes his labored sprint towards the cave mouth, leaving the corpse he had been dragging behind next to the bake slain by Ha's arrow through the skull, the reminder of the latter spurring him on. The wounded bake grasps the corpse he originally pilfered and follows. The two diggers who escaped Eiji at the grave now are in a full sprint, trying to catch up to the others and reach the cave mouth. Actions! Toshizo, Eiji, Ha, then Taka.

Eiji will retrieve his spade.

Toshizo draws another willow leaf arrow and takes aim at the monster carrying Souta.

BCS 12. I believe the target is past 20 yds, so Short and not Point Blank range (+0). -1 for partially encumbered.
[1d20]=1[2d6]=8
Critical Success!

Ha, out of AP arrows draws a bowel raker and fires at one ofg the leading bakemono.
BCS 12+1(level)+2(range)-2(arrow)=13
[1d20]=12 Again a miss due to AC

Give me a 1d10 and 1d20.

Here they are. [1d10]=6[1d20]=9

As the bakemono-sho begin running off with Amano Souta's body, Toshizo and Ha both draw their bows and aim at the one carrying her. Toshizo's willow leaf arrow comes down and slices under the warty bake's arm. (-8) It drops Souta and stops in place, squealing about its pain to the other bake as it tries to stop the thick red blood running down its arm. Taking advantage of the moment, Ha launching a powerful broad-headed arrow at the creature - the arrow slices through the center of the creature's throat. (-33) The bake gurgles for just a moment, then collapses over backwards. Eiji turns and steps over to the edge of the grave, collecting his spade. He looks into the black hole, seeing the desecration of his work first hand.

Taka?

OOC Incredibly good timing on the crit hit!

The crit effect wasn't as great as I hoped for, but it ended up being helpful after all.

Taka attempts to draw on the moisture that is beneath the ground, concentrating it in an area in front of the cave entrance and in the path of the bakemono-sho dragging bodies towards the cave entrance.

Mud (BCS 14) [1d20]=7

Ha will fire another bowel raker at the front group.

Turn Order: (Round 4, Phase 2)
Taka attempts to draw on the moisture that is beneath the ground, concentrating it in an area in front of the cave entrance and in the path of the bakemono-sho dragging bodies towards the cave entrance. The bowl valley floor, with its nearby pond, has plenty of water beneath its surface. The long grasses obscure the hazard lying at their roots, but the sorceress feels the pull of the water and knows a surprise now waits for the baka... (Round 5, Phase 14)
As the ground soddens, another arrow comes streaking from the darkness with incredible force. Taka ducks just in time - it slices through the arm of her kimono and lodges in the side of the building behind her next to the previous black-fletched projectile... but that was far too close for comfort. (Round 5, Phase 12)
The three remaining bakemono-sho continue to run for the cover of the cave entrance. They are surprised as their broad feed splatter in the mud, but their short, squat forms have no difficulty in traversing the treacherous ground as the squelchy muck splashes around them. The one wounded previously by Souta and who's vicious blow laid her low grabs her by the arm and pulls her through the mud, bringing her unconscious form with him at a slowed pace while the other two, running at full speed from the graveside, are now fully caught up. Toshizo, Ha (shooting), Eiji?
