The appearance of the highwayman would bring Taji's pace to a sudden halt, the creature rearing up just a bit and whinnying as he was startled. A firm tug on the reins and a gentle petting to his neck would soothe him - and a pair of emerald eyes upon his back would stare at the masked man with a very narrow gaze.
She remained silent for near a full minute as she watched the man - looking to his attire, his belt and hips and back for any weapons. The sleeves - if they were long enough, they could conceal a weapon. The mask bode ill - certainly not a tax collector of any sorts. Bandit, more than likely. How high were the boots? Enough for a dagger to hide? And his hands - what could do the most damage depending on what was within the palms. She kept a close eye on those hands.
People called her paranoid. She preferred "cautious".
She made no motion for a weapon, her hands remaining folded at the saddle horn with reins in her grip - visibly calm. "For whom do you collect a fee, highwayman?" she inquires in a firm tone. "What lord do you serve under?"

The Highwayman simply chuckles at Akiyama's assumption. "Lord you say? What Lord? There has been no true lords in this land for over a century. Even that despot of a ruling family has no royal blood in it. I collect so that me and my men might be able to buy some food, or lumber supplies, or perhaps to pay our own taxes to the local boss. Who knows? Only those who have to live with it. So I ask you to pay up, and you wont meet the same fates as those whom passed without paying." He holds out his hand, awaiting the 50 silver pieces, 20 for herself, and 30 for her steed.

The woman brings her sharp gaze to thin slits at the mention of others passing without paying. Her tone becomes harder, certainly in an accusation. "That sounds like a threat - and I don't respond well to threats. I suggest you scurry off back from the hole you crawled out of. If you desire to keep you and yours alive, I also advise you do what any normal individual might do and work for the coin to feed yourself.
"And for future reference, if you're going to act like a highway toll man or tax collector - don't hide behind a mask. You're just a greedy bandit to anyone that looks at you." As she spoke, her tone became less and less friendly, and Taji could easily feel her aggression - snorting and shaking his head, pawing at the earth a time or two with a sharp hoof, his bridle and harnesses rattling softly as a result. "Now step aside."

The Watcher cleaved the golem only to find the upper half overwhelming him. The burly rock closed its fist around The Watcher's arm and attempted to topple him over. A brief scuffle sent both of them into the dirt, the lower half of the golem desperate to reconnect with its torso. The Watcher got back on his feet, not wanting to take anymore chances. If he were to pulverize the golem he might destroy or maim people in the warband, he would have to somehow lure it away.
The Watcher tapped his staff into the ground once more, the cracks running down his blade now shining brighter than before. The blood red arcane ran from his staff into the suit itself, travelling through the tiny cracks in the metal. Soon The Watcher was lit up by the arcane, it flowing freely through him. The Watcher began charging his weapon, an intense sound emitting from the tip of the staff. |

Kasumi panicked when she realized that there were no weak points on the creature's 'head', and she cast a look toward Jou as he headed toward her that clearly said, 'I don't know how to kill this thing, what do I do?' Pushing off of the golem's shoulders in a high flip, she landed near Jou just in time to see Shintaro's horse get pummeled soundly by the creature. "Nishida-sama!" She sprinted toward their warlord, who had probably been dislodged from his mount by this point, and after shoving her tanto back into its sheath, began to gather magic in her hands once again.
Hopefully Jou was at her side, because she was hissing a suggestion toward him. "I think perhaps we need to invest in a vertical fire tunnel!" It was one of their more difficult moves, and anyone outside of the barrier would be in danger, so it would involve getting all the troops to a secure location away from the hulking constructs. And quickly, at that.

The highwayman couldn't help but laugh outright at Akiyama's own threats towards him. Raging laughter filled her ears as he clutched his stomach in pain as he finally gasps for some air. "Hehahaheh, you lot really are something today. First its some noble looking fellow leading a conscripted column of punks to their death without paying their toll, then an actual combat trained group with some banner I couldn't read didn't pay either, and now the lone lady warrior. Ah, the pain will increase exponentially, seems we will get far more than the toll price from all the equipment from all your dead bodies. How lucky.
"Well, dont say I didn't try and be reasonable, I even deducted the usual fee for all your equipment from the toll. Well, do have fun now." The highwayman waves goodbye as he returns to the woods. If Akiyama hurries, she might be able to help those ahead of her.

Dimitri was hit hard by the fist of golem, hard enough to make him lose consciousness for a few seconds. When he came to, the construct was already moving past him and into the rest of the men that marched by his side. He could only get back to his feet slowly as every muscle in his being ached from pain and the exhaustion from the days of marching did not help. Popping bone and muscles back into place, he finally got to his feet and turned to the back of the golem. "You got me pretty good there, let me return the massage treatment."
Dimitri was going to try and grapple the large golem from behind. He didn't have a plan really, just wanting to disable it, and possibly the one that just punched his contractor. His method, throw the damn thing into the other and hope that does something.

She wanted to push a shuriken into the man's throat and watch him choke and gurgle on his own blood... but now there was something pricking at the back of her neck and prodding at her thoughts. There were others that had passed recently? And a combat group... that was very vague, and worse so her mind was starting to peek for hope in those words. It couldn't be the warlord, though, could it? When the highwayman vanished into brush and out of sight, her heels dug sharply into Taji's flanks and urged him on at a hard gallop, keeping a firm old on the reins but giving him his head as she leaned low along his neck.
It would be a little distance further before she would lift her head to get a glimpse of a mass gathering in the distance - many people that looked like soldiers, and three massive hulking beasts of some sort. Her blood was already pumping hard, heart pounding in her ears - something of a sense of urgency had overwhelmed her. She needed to help - this was what her senses were telling her.

Jou draw is Kusarigama from his clothing. One of the many mysteries around Jou, was the number of weapons he could fit in his shirt. The man was a walking armory yet you'd never know it. There were no visible bulges on his clothing and his only visible weapon was his wakizashi. Despite that he seemed to be able to pull any weapon he needed from his clothing at any time. Kasumi had often begged him for this secret and he had never shared. He swings the chain and its heavy weight in a slow arc, contemplating her suggestion. Well drawing in more energy for another spell was always a good idea.
"That or we go with the castle breaker."
That was the spell they used on their first mission. Called so for the effect it had on the castle they had been in.

Jou's response earned a thoughtful grunt from Kasumi. "Hai, that might be better." Skidding to a stop near Shintaro, she continued to build magic in her hands, drawing in as much as she could as rapidly as she could. The wind would whistle around them, and toward the edges of her range - about a thirty foot diameter - the air was actually getting noticeably thinner. "Nishida-sama, Jou-san and I have a plan, but we need to try and find a defensible position and draw the troops in toward it."
The 'castle breaker' was dangerous and required a lot of energy, but it might be their best bet, at the moment. Even stone had a hard time standing up to that one.

The golems seem to not be affected by much of anything that the conscript core has attempted. Anything that they break off of the beasts just regenerate with little recoil from the main body. The trio of giant masses of soil and stone just kept pressing into the column, with little direction given to anyone besides be cautious.
The two creatures at the front of the column continue their assault. The crippled golem crawls towards the Watcher and uses its hands to try and crush it, while the lower half has caught up and has started to attach itself back into its original form. The one whom struck down Nishida's horse turns its attention on Kenjin, going for a dual handed smash into the road. The final golem tries to move into the column, but can't seem to move forward, despite it's steps digging into the ground.
Akiyama emerges from the hillside as the Ashigaru led by Kenjin are about to reach the conscripted contingent of Lord Nishida, though only visually identified as the Ashigaru are well equipped and armored while the conscripts look more like peasants whom hastily grabbed whatever arms they had at hand. She would see the AShigaru almost arrive to reinforce the conscripts, only to be doused in a heavy fog that came from nowhere, as well as 3 more of those large creatures rise around them. One betwwen both groups with two more assembling behind them.

Dimitri's grapple on the golem managed to at least stop it's advance into the rest of the group of conscripts Nishida put together. While the news on reinforcements shouted over the whimpers of the rest of the men and women present, he was not one to wait for the help of others. He was born into this world as a monster hunted by society with an unjustified hatred, so he learned to only trust himself with the important aspects of anything he found himself a part of.
He could not hold this golem forever, he had to get rid of it one way or another, for many would die if he let go. So, he did what he thought was the best option. Dimitri stressed his muscles to the full extent that his hybrid form would allow and lifted the beast above his head, giving a beastial growl under the stress, heard by the entire column, and even the front of the Ashigaru if they were close enough. He was not done though. Dimitri, in a last ditch effort with what remained of his strength, bent his legs to give him some extra momentum in his throw. As he raised himself in witless adrenaline fueled conciousness, he tossed the craeture over the men of the Aozora, towards the golem attacking Nishida, and immediately falling to the ground, no longer moving.

The spell that The Watcher was charging could perhaps claim the life of a few other men, but it was a risk he had to take in order to protect Nishida. He wasn't going to try and destroy its physical form, he was going to try and smite its very being, he was going to try and remove it from existence. The Watcher raised his staff above his head, all whilst the cleaved golem attempted to piece itself together. Thunder and lightning connected the tip of his staff and the skies above, making a link between his staff and the heavens. Minor bolts of thunder would roll out over the hillside, striking near their men.
"Béliar!" The Watcher bellowed, the otherwise weak and brittle voice now menacing and fierce. As the spell charged, the men around The Watcher would probably start taking notice to the scale of the spell being cast. After half a minute or so the lightning cleared out, quite abruptly too. The only sign of thunder or lightning was the static sound emitting from the tip of The Watcher's staff. The Watcher peered down at the now whole golem, the blue flame in the slits of his helmet fixed on it.
In a quick motion The Watcher raised his sword and staff, he then brought them down to the ground, as if he was pulling something from the sky itself. In the moment of him pulling, lightning struck. The lightning connected with the golem's head, spreading throughout its body. This thunder wasn't ordinary, it was holy magic, and would serve to cleanse and or destroy the golem if it wasn't protected appropriately. |

She couldn't get there fast enough - the reinforcements were smothered in a fog, and the number of beasts doubled... and those were not creatures. They were golems - figures cut from earth and rock. Seeing that made her grimace behind her facemask - breaking through those masses would require something special, something that was beyond her expertise. She was damned certain her shuriken and senbon were about worthless here.
But at least she wasn't out of options. Taji tore across the earth with the power of a warhorse, and Ketsueki made a quick thrust of her hand into a saddlebag to pull out a length of sturdy chain. The mass of coil remained in one hand that also gripped the reins, and she took the weighted end in her other hand with a twist of her wrist - quickly bringing it into a rapid spin. The links disappeared and became a blurred disk with the motion - and she was closing in. She would spot out the nearest of the three newest additions and veer her mount in its direction.
Taji would make the sharp redirection and keep running - actually turning to run past the animated mountain. The shinobi herself would finally lash her hand out, casting the swinging chain at one leg of the golem in hopes of getting it to wrap about the sturdy limb. When it found the mark she would urge the horse on faster, even as the slack in the chain was eaten up with every inch of ground she covered. Before it got too far, Ketsueki would then secure the other end around the saddle horn to brace for what was yet to come. Once the end was reached, Taji would slam against the chain and be forced to whip around with a loud whinney - where his reins would be yanked back hard to help him pull as he dug his hooves deep into the ground for leverage. The thing was a considerable size and construct - she had to guess it was magically created - but she hoped Taji's strength and his momentum might help bring it crashing down.

The newly generating constructs surround the Ashigaru group, already moving into them, smashing into the forces closest to them. Casualties will be increasing if no orders are given.
The construct targeted by the Watcher's spell ceased its movements when struck by the holy lightning. Seeming to have done some considerable damage. This was only the effect of the holy damage, the lightning was dissolved by the natural conduit of soil and rock and dispersed easily into the ground. The golem only stayed still for a few seconds before finally outstretching its hand the last couple of needed inches to start crushing the Watcher. If the golem cant crush him, it will restrict its movements for further spells.
Akiyama's actions succeeded in lopping off a leg of the golem. Though any victory of hers would be short lived as the same fog surrounded her as two more golems rose around her. She was now flanked by two of the gigantine constructs, ready to crush her and her horse.
The golem tossed by Dimitri soars just above the conscripts heads, casting a distracting shadow above them, eventually passing over Nishida and smashing into the golem which was about to pulverize Kenjin. Both golems fell into a heap of rubble, two fist sized green gems are exposed in the pile.

Jou continues to swing the weight. His part of the spell is small and just requires concentration. He swings the weight in a vertical arc sending a gout of flame out. The fire would land on the new group of Golems and supported by his magic burn persistently. That was step one. Next Kasumi needed to make a vortex around them.

Trying to stick close to both Shintaro and Jou as the group began to fall back toward the village, she watched as Jou cast his fire out in the start of one of their most dangerous techniques. Kasumi continued to draw air and magic into her hands at an alarming rate, causing her hair to whip violently. It wouldn't be much longer now... There! In a practiced move, she released the built-up magic in a violent whirl of wind that began to rapidly suck all the oxygen out of the surrounding area, while simultaneously creating a wall further out to prevent more from seeping in. It was something that took a good deal of concentration and strength.
Her focus was split between that, and watching Jou's flames as they slowly began to shrink and flicker, petering out gradually. Once they had reached the limit and were about to burn out entirely, she released her hold on the two separate barriers of air, allowing oxygen to flood back into the vacuum created by her magic. The result was, to put it simply, explosive; the sudden resupply of air to the depleted flames caused them to blossom outward in a violent surge of fire and air pressure at super-heated temperatures, causing anything within a fifty foot range to either combust, melt, or be sent flying.
