To kill or not to kill, that is the question...that nobody wants to answer.
Roll TenOutside the sports store, Person decides that it's finally time for battle. He looks for a form of transportation (6), and sees a taxi approaching. After waving down the taxi, Person gets in and tells the driver to take him on a short drive around town (10). The taxi cab driver happily obliges. As the car passes by several places, Person keeps an eye out for other combatants (9), and sees Andres parking his bike outside a gun shop. Person immediately stops the cab, pays the driver (9+7) $16, and rushes out to meet Andres. Andres notices Person, and now both combatants stand face to face outside the gun shop.
Back at the prison, Hawk132 stands face to face with Hiddenleafguy. Hawk132 knows that staying at this prison is a bad idea, and attempts to leave as fast as possible (5), and he just barely makes it to the door. However, as he is about to leave, he hears the words of Beirus' psychological manipulation (9vs7+3+3+2+2-1), and is persuaded to try to commit suicide via english dancing! As Hawk132 begins his attempt to dance until dead from exhaustion, Hiddenleafguy pulls out a gun and fires at Hawk132 (10vs3+2)! But, Hawk132 accidentally dodges the gunfire thanks to his rapid movements and fervent dancing. Minutes later, 18 of Beirus' other followers enter the lobby. As they see Hawk132, they begin sharpening their blades and prepping their dancing shoes menacingly.
On the other side of town, Nunzillor stands in the bank with a gun pointed at his head. Knowing that he has to act fast, Nunziller begins performing the starring role in a play he personally wrote, called "Death of a Bank Robber" (2+3+2vs6). The other captives in the bank begin applauding, but both robbers appear to just be confused. High art might not be their thing. The robber holding the gun decides to just push Nunziller off to the side. He takes a seat in the corner with the other hostages.
At the prison's control room, Beirus ignores his failing voice and once again starts talking and utilizing his many abilities. He tries to manage his followers despite NAV's musical rebellion (10+3+3+2+2-1vs10+3+3), but 12 of his followers have rebelled against him! While he is successfully able to lead his other 18 followers to the prison's lobby, the rebels have split up and begun searching the prison. They're looking to kill the "Man", and they're convinced that's Beirus! Beirus quickly locks his door.
At the museum,
H4zardZ1's heart finally fails him. He collapses, dead. At least he died after finally completing his dream of seeing over 40 types of beetles. The janitor stumbles upon the body, but turns around and walks away, pretending he never saw anything. He's had a tough week as it is.
At the general merchandise store, Andres is dissatisfied with his lack of proper weaponry. He asks the cashier for directions to a gun shop (2), but he just ignores Andres, instead texting with his phone. Frustrated, Andres leaves the store and rides his bike around town as he tries to find a gun shop himself (9). To his surprise, Andres actually manages to find a weapons shop specializing in the sale of tactical firearms. As Andres parks his bike outside, he walks up to the door of the shop, but is stopped by Person. Person looks eager for a fight!
Back at the center of the prison, NAV realizes that following orders just isn't part of his style. As Beirus begins talking again, NAV starts singing an epic punk rock song about freedom and rebellion against the "Man" (10+3+3vsN/A), completely breaking free from Beirus' influence! Since NAV was too busy loudly singing, he couldn't hear anything Beirus was saying! Beirus' other followers listen to both NAV and Beirus (10+3+3vs10+3+3+2+2-1), and 12 of them immediately join NAV's punk rock concert. They are so moved by NAV's words, that they begin chanting "BRING DOWN THE MAN!" as NAV finishes the song. While the rest of Beirus's followers leave to find Hawk132, the 12 punk-rock enthusiasts split up to search for Beirus and bring him down.
Back at the prison's lobby, Hiddenleafguy begins experiencing inner turmoil as he hears more talking from Beirus. He tries to fight Beirus' influence to pledge loyalty to Hawk132 and plot how to kill Beirus (3-3vs3+3+2+2-1), but is completely consumed by his obedience to Beirus, unable to break his mental hold. He tries to shoot Hawk132 (3+2vs10), but Hawk132 dances out of his aim and the bullet whizzes by him, missing completely! Moments later, 18 of Beirus' other followers enter the lobby, ready to slice up and dance all over Hawk132!
Meanwhile at the bank, one of the hostages mentally prepares herself for battle. She's sick of criminals doing whatever they want, and she intends to put a stop to it. Twinwolf watches the bank robbers closely, ready for action. Twinwolf has joined the battle!Player Name: Andres

Rule change: All players can only join this round once. Once you die, you'll have to wait for the next round, which begins after this round ends with only 1 player remaining.
Police will arrive at the bank in 2 turns.
I realized that I probably shouldn't have had Beirus lose any followers since he rolled higher than NAV, so the 12 ex-followers of Beirus will suffer a -5 penalty to resisting his next attempt at controlling them.
