I've changed the meanings of the Dice rolls. Basically now it's low=fail, high=success. I decided I didn't like Overshots and that it didn't make sense to fail when succeeding.

Pre-Turn Events:
Caellath (4+1+1=6) Emmanuel Feldstein
ScratchedEmmanuel dashes through the door, past Kelly and into the hallway. The quickly-dispersing cloud reveals a tall shape in front of him and he realises that it is another
Black Eye. He flips the
Glaive's bladed end up and onto his shoulder and stabs at the
Black Eye with the blunt end first. The end connects and the
Black Eye oofs and groans. Emmanuel then flips the blade end back over and slashes diagonally downward at shoulder-height. He cloud is still thick but he feels the blade slice through flesh as easily as a hot knife through butter. The
Black Eye clutches at his shoulder and cries out in pain. He reflexively fires a shot but his aim is completely off - the bullet takes a chunk out of the wall beside Emmanuel. The
Black Eye then drops to one knee.
