Grand Abolisher
Takeno
As the young abysall heard the sound of bones cracking under his ferocious blows and the rider fell from his mount, dead before hitting the sand, he felt revitalised, as if his strikes drained the life force out of this bandit and replenished his own essence reserves. Before having enough time to take a breath though he was under attack from three bandits simultaneously. His previous overextension as well as his inexperience in such encounters, as well as his momentary lapse in attention to observe his comrade's killing strikes nearby, rendered his defences inadequate and left him open to the bandit attacks.
Two out of the three attacks managed to bypass his defences and their curved swords slashed at him. The first hit luckily one of the strongest parts of his buff jacket and did not manage to penetrate the thick fabric, but the second one slashed deeply and seemed as if it would score a considerable wound in Takeno's ribs. Yet the young exalt, even though fresh and inexperienced in how best to utilise his essence, still managed to call upon the dark energies of his exaltation. As if hardened by his essence, his whole frame was reinforced at once, absorbing the brunt of the strike, while in a moment he felt his skin hardening like ivory and his bones turn into unbreakable steel, shrugging off effortlessly the attempts of the bandits to wound him.
He turned to face them all at once and a grin could be seen across his face as he addressed them in a mocking tone, clenching his fists, in preparation of unleashing his onslaught.
"Three on one? And still can't pull it off? Not as favorable odds, as you thought eh? My turn now".
With that, Takeno erupted into action, his movements faster than the eye could catch, as he went forth to deliver three blows, with the intention to devastate his attackers. Darting forth, he attempted to strike the first bandit in the groin, to incapacitate him. Then, slipping between the other two, he lowered his stance to strike at the second one's ribcage with enough force to hopefully shatter it, and finally turned to the third one, rising in the blink of an eye to his full height to deliver what should be a devastating uppercut to his jaw.

Activating Ravaging Blow to supplement each of the 3 attacks [6m total from personal pool]
Willpower 7/7
Essence: Personal 10/16 Peripheral 31/37
Health levels:
-0 [ ]
-1 [ ][ ]
-2 [ ][ ]
-4 [ ]
-X [ ]
Defenses
Dodge DV 3
Parry DV 7
Soak: 7B/5L [with Exceptional Buff Jacket]
EDIT: Successes on attacks:
1st: 6
2nd: 7
3rd: 7
Note: Due to Ravaging Blow, extra successes (those that exceed the target's DV, if any) are counted twice for the purpose of determining raw (pre-soak) damage. Each strike also strips up to 3 motes, but never more than the actual health levels damaged (if any) on the target.
Defence
I will probably try to initially stunt and improve my Parry DV to enhance my chance to deflect any incoming attacks. If any overcome my DV, then I'll most likely utilise one or both of the previously used Resistance charms to emerge unscathed.
