So you can spend 2 of your Epic Points to cheat death and stabilize, or Erica can die here. Its up to you. Enemy critical strikes are nasty pieces of work.

Yea, the Essential Technique Skills for each martial art add their bonuses to the other, but all of the other fancy skills (like Ginga) would not enhance the Ban Family Martial Arts techniques.
So yea, that Skill (Ban Style Capoeria) will be a thing.

Yea, I like in my RPs to where almost anything can kill you and not just the important plot stuff. It gives the world much more depth and prompts for characters and players alike to be more careful in what they do.
Its just like any other actual enemy fight, with turns and everything, only there is a higher chance of death here (even with Genji around as he isn't perfect and can screw up)
Uhhh... its played out. Turn by turn. (Which is where chance of deadly deathful death comes in)
And you can't run away. So its actually your post XD

Jared indeed did have a point, about them relying on each other. Elim knew that until he obtained his own mode of transportation, he would have to travel with these people, there was no doubt about that. As for Elim not having time to babysit them, that wasn't the truth. He just didn't want to. There was no point if they were going to be weak enough to die, but then the thought of training them came up. There was strength in numbers, Elim knew this much. Numbers added to the strength of each person, as was how an army worked, however; if the units in an army were weak, then the army was weak. As much as Elim wanted to worry about his own training, being a part of a weak party probably wasn't the best plan.
Plus, he recalled something his Sensei once said.
"A teacher grows stronger when teaching his students. After all, being a teacher lets you reexamine everything you know and improve what needs to be improved to make it good enough to be taught. Plus, the teacher can always learn from a student."
From the sound of it, being a teacher was a good way to improve ones combat skills. So before Jared could walk away, Elim spoke to him. "Very well..." He turned around to fully face Jared. "I'll train all of you". If it would help improve Elim's own ability, then he was up for it. "Just beware that I won't make it easy on you. And if this training kills you, then you wouldn't have been able to handle the real world anyway. We can start once we take care of our business here."
While Elim may have been exaggerating, his words held truth to them. If they couldn't handle tough training, then they couldn't handle tough opponents. Plain and simple. If they couldn't handle tough opponents then they would be better off sitting back away from the battle lest they die. After saying his agreement to training, not necessarily agreement to not be so distant, he soon decided to address something that had been on his hand for the past several minutes, walking over to the Ice Golem, or 'Snow Man' as it was apparently called, although this creature looked like no man. Maybe the face... but it looked like just a stack of rocks with legs in the bodily area. He guessed it could look like a human to a child's more imaginative eye.
Not aware that it could talk, Elim bent down and planned to pick it up by the head, but only picked up his head as he wasn't aware that it was in three pieces, almost being startled, but being more curious than anything, before looking at the Princess. "Your highness, do you have any idea what sort of Sorcery, wicked or normal, created this weak looking Construct?" Elim was a bit confused, wondering why someone would create such a weak looking construct. It seemed to have no combat value, which was one of the main reasons, other than needing a neat servant, that people made Constructs.

Also Erica is fighting a mob boss (it was bound to happen, ALOT of Kobolds have died in there).
Note that with Genji there she may not die if he is able to save her, but he can also roll badly when trying to save her and Erica could also fumble and open herself for death.

Day 3 of Erica's preparation for their end of the week plans came around, this also being the third day that she was staying with the Ban Family. Some more Grinding against the Kobolds in the morning. Genji, who seemed to have just dressed after taking a bath when Erica woke up, decided to watch and observe her training. He was a two levels higher than he was when Erica last saw him, meaning that his own intense training was a success as he appeared to have gotten a good bit stronger. He would simply make sure that the Kobolds didn't overwhelm her, but let a max of two ever get on her at all times.
All in all, over a brief period of about a minute or so she managed to get around 14 or so Kobolds, as in this Pseudospace for some reason there seemed to be an abundance of them all over the place. They probably would have gotten the upper hand, as they were really good at fighting, had Genji not kept only one or two on her at a time, killing any stragglers, of which he killed about 5 of them. Erica, of course, only got XP for the Kobolds that she personally killed, especially since Genji wasn't in their party. Also he was probably too high of a level for equal XP share to work.
Still, by the time the fourteenth Kobold was slain, Erica ascended to Level 10, a window appearing as she did.
The last Kobold was soon enough dispatched by a full strength, but not necessarily full Stamina, Erica. Genji walked up, clapping a bit. "Most impressive, you've improved a bit since I last saw you, which is quite impressive considering that I only saw you two days ago." He gave a smile, but then his expression quickly grew serious as he turned around faster than one could blink, eyes widening as the door to the Pseudospace room disappeared, effectively trapping them in there.
"What the hell?!" He was about to run over to where it was, but not before he learned a loud bang on the ground not too far away from their position. Quickly turning to face it, he ran up next to Erica, the two of them now observing a somewhat bad sight. From the sky above fell a very large Kobold, at least around ten or so feet tall. Above his head was Level 17 Kobold Lord. In one hand he held a battle axe, and in the other a buckler. Of course, with him were around thirteen or so other Kobolds, Genji narrowing his eyes.
"I wonder if this is one of those... Mob Bosses... that Sasha and Silas were talking about." He looked back towards where the exit once was and then looked back at Erica. "Well, we are trapped in here, but this is a good thing. That creature would be some incredible training if you can beat it..." He looked at the creature, taking a step forward, stretching his arms and legs. He wasn't wearing any shoes, but still began to focus his stance.
"Here's the plan... ill take out its minions while you focus on the big guy... he may seem tough, but all he has is his brawn. He may be quick as well, but if you're quicker then you should be able to defeat it. He's not wearing any armor either, which is also a good thing. You probably won't be able to go for the head thanks to its height, but if you just hit it in the stomach or legs then you should be able to win."
With that, Genji took a few more steps forward, but not before giving Erica a more serious look. "But if its too much for you... don't be afraid to ask for help. We're family after all, and ill be right nearby if you need me. There's no shame in running away if it means you can survive another day." After that, and a small smile, he turned and charged forward, his fist glowing in a green, misty energy that was probably Ki. With a deep inhale, once he was closer which wasn't in much time at all, he slammed his fist on the ground in one moment, then in the next a spike of earth erupted underneath one of the Kobolds.
Genji Attack: Hit! (Max Damage) (I rolled well enough, it hit)
Damage: 230
The attack was utterly devastating. That single kobold didn't have a chance as the spike of earth shot from the ground, impaling it straight through and making it vanish in a single instant. This made the Kobold Lord snarl, pointing his hand at Genji, which was just what he wanted, while the big Kobold glowered at Erica as it started to charge right at her from about twenty or so yards away. Unfortunately it was fast. Not as fast as Genji, and nowhere near as fast as Sumi, but it was fast enough to get there and manage to swing its powerful looking axe at her.
Kobold Lord Attack: 79
Miss
Luckily the attack was off, but another one came right after that, this one being from right on top of Erica, so it would be much harder to dodge.
Kobold Lord Attack: 36
Miss
Erica was able to dodge quickly, this axe attack being much closer, parrying it with her Cestus probably being impossible due to the overwhelming difference in both size and physical strength, so she would have no choice but to dodge, which she did. She had an opening for a counterattack thanks to her new Evasion Skill, if she wanted to take it, and her own speed would let her strike probably a couple more times after that before it could react to her and fight back.
