Now with random events!
Roll ElevenOutside the gun shop, Person immediately takes action. He takes aim at Andres' head and throws his basketball (3+3vs9+3), but Andres catches the basketball and begins stabbing it with his knife, deflating it! While Person stands in shock, Andres reveals his masterpiece, a deflated basketball with a picture of (RANDOM-WIKI)
Vern McGrew's face carved into it! Andres proudly describes the symbolism of his memorial piece, detailing how Vern, like a deflated basketball, will sadly never be able to roll or soar through the air ever again. Person can't help but be impressed. However, Andres suddenly rushes toward Person with his knife ready, and seeing this, Person tries to dodge (7vs6+3), but he isn't quite fast enough. The knife misses Person's eyes, but slices off one of his ears! Person is now bleeding and having trouble hearing!
Back at the prison, Hiddenleafguy attempts to regain his self-control (3-3), but he remains filled with zeal to obey Beirus' commands. As Hawk132 fails to destroy his hearing, Hiddenleafguy listens to Beirus' loud raspy speech (2-3vs9+4+3+2+2-3-1), and eagerly obeys, becoming even more entrenched in Beirus' cult! He runs over to the other 19 followers, greeting several of them with hugs. Moments later, Hiddenleafguy has joined the group's attempts at coordinating their synchronized English dance number. As they finally perfect their country dancing, the remainder of Beirus' followers join them in the lobby, dragging NAV along with them. The captive NAV is tossed beside Hawk132. Hiddenleafguy and the other followers enter their coordinated dance positions, eager to finally complete their master's will.
Moments earlier, Hawk132 begins to tire of dancing. He attempts to regain his senses (10), and successfully realizes that he is in control and shouldn't kill himself! Expecting another speech from Beirus, Hawk132 immediately looks around for something thin and sharp that he can use to pierce his eardrums (4), but all he can find is a dull pencil! He attempts to pierce his eardrums, but the pencil is too thick and dull to do the job. He's barely able to damage his eardrums, weakening his hearing only slightly. As he tries to find something else, he hears Beirus speak once again (4vs3+4+3+2+2-4-3-1+1), and feels a minor obligation to assist Beirus' followers in their English dancing endeavors. Hawk132 moves nearby chairs and tables within the lobby to clear out a big space for the dancers. He hopes they appreciate it. Hawk132 watches as NAV is shoved to the ground beside him. It looks like Beirus' mob is finally ready to dance!
At the bank, Twinwolf decides to team up with Nunziller to bring the robbers down. While Nunziller pursues one of the robbers with his bike, Twinwolf sneaks up behind the other one and readies her dinosaur femur (9+2+2+2+3vs4). She immediately starts beating the robber with the femur, even catching him off guard! The robber tries to defend himself, but Twinwolf's explanation of dinosaur biology is too fascinating for him to stay focused on shielding himself. Moments later, the robber is lying on the ground, knocked out cold. Twinwolf has prevailed! After watching Twinwolf's heroics, the other hostages immediately start cheering. While she gracefully waves to her fans, out of the corner of her eye she notices that Nunziller has knocked out the other crook and acquired a new gun.
Nunzillor agrees to an alliance with Twinwolf for the sake of fighting unappreciative bank robbers. He immediately gets on his bike, which he forgot to park outside, and starts cycling toward the nearest bank robber, while acting out the role of Paul Revere (10+3+3+3vs10). The robber sees Nunziller coming for him, but is so mesmerized by what he's seeing that he forgets he has his gun poised ready to shoot Nunziller. Nunziller runs over the crook with his bike, knocking his gun loose and leaving tire marks down the center of his body. The robber's still conscious, but dazed and groaning in pain. Seeing another acting opportunity, Nunziller begins yelling "The British are coming!" and rushes to grab the gun (6+3+3), taking hold of the weapon speedily without any problems. Nunziller now has a pistol!
Meanwhile, in the prison's control room, Beirus thinks of a genius plan. He turns the volume on the PA system to maximum volume and begins giving another speech with his ever-weakening voice (9+4+3+2+2-3-1vs2-5). His ex-followers hear Beirus' great speech and come to their senses, returning to his side! In fact, all of Beirus' followers feel strengthened by the speech, gaining a (9) +9 resistance to abandoning Beirus' and his objectives! As Beirus' followers reunite at the lobby, Beirus realizes that his precious voice needs rest. He turns on the PA system's radio and looks for gospel music (7), finding a suitable station, though it has a series of commercials every 15 minutes. With the volume cranked up so high, Beirus finally feels like he can relax. He stares at his Haitian herb, curious of how much it's worth.
Back at the gun shop, Andres watches as Person prepares to throw his basketball. As the basketball starts flying, an artistic idea enters Andres' mind. He attempts to intercept the ball (9+3vs3+3), catching it easily! Andres then immediately gets to work on his newest project, using his knife to carve a person's face into the basketball, deflating it in the process. Andres presents his finished masterpiece, causing Person to gasp in amazement! However, as Person is reflecting on the hidden meanings behind the art, Andres turns his attention to Person's face. When he looks into Person's eyes, inspiration strikes! He pulls out his trusty knife and runs toward Person and the blank canvas that is his eyes (6+3vs7), but Person's swift movements cause Andres to miss the eyes and instead slice off an ear! While Person is cursing in pain, Andres ponders if that ear might be useful for his future projects.
Meanwhile, in the prison, NAV rushes to look for his punk buddies ( 8 ), finding 3 of them. As he starts his camera and begins to sing, Beirus' voice is heard from the PA system, this time louder than ever. NAV can't be heard by his fellow punk enthusiasts! NAV tries to raise his voice to block out Beirus' manipulative speech (1+3+3+3vs9+4+3+2+2-3-1), but it's no use! The punk enthusiasts have returned to the dark side! Even worse, NAV heard the speech and now feels that he must surrender to his fate! He makes no effort to resist as the 3 followers grab NAV and drag him to the lobby. Once they arrive, NAV is shoved to the ground near Hawk132. NAV looks down gloomily, knowing his doom is imminent.

NEW RULE: From here on out, every turn, some kind of event will happen based on a random wikipedia article. The impact of that event will be determined via a d10 roll.
Beirus' loud volume resulted in a -1 to his speeches, due to decreased clarity and irritating his listeners. Also, fun fact, Hawk132 received his -1 penalty to hearing, but since Beirus was speaking at a louder volume, he could hear Beirus clearly, resulting in neither -1 penalty being applied to Beirus' speech in that instance.
Police will arrive at the bank in 1 turn.
Hawk132: 6
Andres: 3
Nunzillor: 5
