Turn Ten: Meat Shields, Princess Bride, and- "Oh come on, can't you design a better title than that?"INIT:
Token Sharpshooter(20)
Mr. Banker(1(... 1d60: you got a 1)+10=11)
Igor(22-10=12)
The Roach(8+10-5=12)
Vizzini(33)
The Man In Noir(13)
"Inconceivable!" (Vizzini Dexterity(1-1=0) vs. The Roach Dexterity(4+1=5)) Vizzini feels himself grabbed and used as a meat shield, instead of the other way around.
Token Sharpshooter-
"No! You're my hireling! Don't-" shoots an arrow at the Roach. (Token Sharpshooter(6+1+2=9) vs. The Roach(2+1+3(meat shield)=6)) (For the meat shield, I've decided to give a +3 dodge bonus, if the dodge succeeds it hits the shield instead of the one behind it. On the other hand, this is Token Sharpshooter we're dealing with.) (Token Sharpshooter(2+1+1=4) vs. The Roach(1+2=3)) The Roach feels the arrow nick his leg, however having no real effect. (Token Sharpshooter Flow(5)) The Roach notices another arrow nocked in Token Sharpshooter's bow. (... he said Fire twice, not once. So I decided to give him a flow roll. Welp.) (Token Sharpshooter(3+1+2=6) vs. The Roach(2+1+3=6)) (Vizzini Luck(3), -1 to damage) (Token Sharpshooter(1+1-1=1) vs. Vizzini(5-1=4)) The arrow seems to be a dud. It shattered.
"Where have you taken her? Don't make me repeat myself again." The Man in Noir draws a french sword from a scabbard at his side.
"I haven't taken her! It wasn't me!"~~~
"Let me go!" "Not until this little drama's played itself out. Now excuse me, I've got a ghost to bust." Null leaves the observation room, leaving Buttercup tied up.~~~
The Roach and Igor act at the same time(not that it matters). The Roach realizes he's already using Vizzini as a meat shield. The Roach shouts an order back to his Troll, hearing it obeyed. (There's probably a limit on how far you can shout.)
Troll Crush! (Troll(1-1=0) vs. Igor(3-1-1=1)) The Troll decides not to swing the arm. Then he changes his mind. Next turn.
Igor chucks his Razor Frisbee at Mr. Banker. (Igor(1+1-1=1) vs. Mr. Banker(2-1=1)) Staring intensifies! Nope, no chucking.
Mr. Banker examines the door he's next to. Strength won't help here... let's try finesse. (Mr. Banker Luck(2)) It seems that the hinges/nuts can't easily be removed... there goes that plan. Flow(6) Then Mr. Banker drops to the floor, spins round, stands up, then- Igor hasn't thrown the frisbee yet. Staring intensifies!

Avery(Avery Mind(6+1+1=8)) sends out a pulse of sensing energy, letting it guide him up to the garden. He has arrived! Avery Luck(4) Two ghosts sit on a bench underneath a plum tree. Wait, an inside garden? With trees?
