>You dash at the faerie to the left, easily slashing the length of bamboo she carries with Roukanken, and proceeding further left as the faerie keeps charging past you. The others, you note, are trying to adjust course. Tow of them might make it.

>You do so, easily slicing through their lengths of bamboo. These faeries are, as one would except, completely unskilled with making any real use of such weapons, and quite slow compared to you.
>As you pass by them, you note danmaku fire to your left.

>No, you have passed her by.
>Sort of. It depends on the strength of the user, the amount there is, and how much preparation and focus you have. Usually, a good-sized barrage is too much without significant focus.
