Chapter 29: Tamed
"No, but seriously. You can't leave. First of all, we wouldn't let you escape, and even if you did, we'd hunt you down. Second, you're as deep in this as any of us."
Paul seems to ignore William's statement. (5 vs. 4) He punches William pretty hard in the shoulder. William falls to his knee but swings with his good arm. (1 vs. 3) Paul kicks William's arm away. (2 vs. 1) Paul then kicks William again in the arm, but just barely skims it and he loses balance. William jumps up, (2 vs. 4) in time for Paul to grab him (5 vs. 1) and throw him into a wall, head first. William clutches his head and stands up as his eyes water. (Dazed: 50% chance of -1 to all rolls) William swings at Paul, (6-1 vs. 3) and actually manages to clock him in the chest. Paul grunts and swings back, (5 vs. 6) but William grabs his arm, (1-1 vs. 1) and trips, causing both of them to fall down. William, dazed, lunges and grabs a bottle off the ground. (4-1 vs. 5) Paul kicks it out of his hands, (1 vs. 6-1) and rolls off to the side. William stands up as Paul gets to his knees, (4-1 vs. 4) and misses a strike to the back of his head. Paul swings his hand backwards, (1 vs. 3) but William dodges this (3-1 vs. 5) and kicks over a chair. Paul charges William (6 vs. 1) and tackles him to the ground. William flies to the floor and takes the full impact on his back. He seizes for a moment before dozing off. (Unconscious: 1 turn)
Before leaving, grab any games in the area. THEN, find another empty flat!
Aaron grabs some games.
(+4 PSP Games) He then exits the flat sneakily and heads deeper into the district to find more. (4) He finds one that seems empty further in, but this one is locked. Nothing an old lockpick won't fix. (5) Boom, open.
(-1 Lockpick)Mason, yawning, proceeds to
Have some tea down stairs.
Mason awakes, stretches, and walks upstairs to get some tea. He fetches a cup off of the bar and witnesses William fighting Paul. He takes a sip and walks back down.
Enter Pub. If needed, help restrain Paul.
Dave enters to see Paul knocking out William. Just before Paul can finish Will off, Dave charges him with his knife. (6 vs. 5) Paul raises his fist, but Dave puts his Combat Knife to the bodyguard's throat. He drops his hands. "Shit..."
"Will, just shut the hell up. Paul, listen man, you knew exactly what you signed up for. You knew that we'd eventually tangle with the cops, and you knew that there was always a chance that we would lose a friend in this. I know you're a smart guy Paul. Why'd you think you could just leave the Syndicate? We will protect our own. You're safer under our wing then out there for the police to find you." Talk to Paul, take 200 pounds and give it to the barkeeper so he can repair the pub.
(6) Jason speaks to Paul. Paul stays silent, and just sits down. Jason, satisfied, gives the bartender 200 pounds.
"Bless ya'." (-$200 from gang funds)"Wait. You're telling me Wang's already dead?! (Sigh) I don't believe this. Poor bastard... well I guess I should be giving you lot a hand then."
Introduce myself to the rest of the gang and explain that I'm here to take over Wang's job to everyone around. Get filled in on what's already happened and anything important that the gang is currently working on
Turning to Paul, "The fuck's wrong with him?"
"Hey guys, I'm Trent." The rest of the gang says hi, focused on whatever else they're doing. Judging by the situation, it seems Paul is a gang member that's trying to desert.
A soldier walks up to Trent and tells him what's been going on so far. (Trent now knows everything that's happened in the past of the Syndicate.)
Get back to scouting other gang locations.
Alex runs outside to do more scouting. (2) A bit away, he spots a group of Vice Lord boys smoking and chatting up a corner. He approaches them, and hears them saying something about the Cobardi. However, one of them spot's him. "The fuck you doing white boy?"
Call everyone together for a meeting!
"Hey, guys, lets stay here for a bit, I think we need to make plans."
Jackson announces a group plan just as Alex runs outside and Mason goes downstairs. Synergy.
