THE QUEST FOR BROMEDES… HERE – AND THERE
Turn 3.3
Punch the reindeer's face right off!
"Whoa, dude! You're right!"The reindeer is totally licking Edith’s face – pretty hard! Jarvis draws back his fist, [5+3vs3] and punches it’s face off! Reindeer blood and other bits go
everywhere. Or, at least, everywhere there is to cover with blood on Jarvis and Edith.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!""Whoa…""EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!""Reindeer, or meese, are stereotypical of Canada," interrupts Richard, who looks to be warming himself up for an interminable anti-reindeer hum -
"Wait, what?”"What.""Meese?”"Yeah! Meese, dickwad! Which means they're pinko scum!"Assume the Peacock Pose! Also hum 'praise the lord and pass the ammunition', to get into that patriotic state of mind.
Bam!
[5+3vs3,2+3vs3,2+3vs1,2+3vs4,2+3vs6,6+3vs6,2+3vs1,5+3vs1,6+3vs6] Richard leaps into Peacock Pose, first staggering the fiendish meese into an initiative failure, and then stunning all but two of them to the floor. One brave meese stand its ground – the other is so intimated by Richard’s powerful yoga it collapses with blood pouring out of its ears!
There are but 8 reindeer left, suffering -1 to initiative next turn and -1 to actions this turn (except 1).Basic Splits! Flail wildly!
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" continues Edith,
"EArrrrg!!"The bravest meese lopes up to her face, and unleashes its long leathery tongue! It’s almost affectionate in its delicate touch! The other meese, meanwhile, clamber to their feet and close back in on Richard and Jarvis, and try to headbutt them into submission.
[5vs5+3,5vs5+3,4vs1+3; 2vs1+3,2vs3+2,1vs1+3,2vs5+3] As Edith watches on in salivery terror, the clutch of meese headbutt her comrades! Entirely ineffectually! She tries to rush to their rescue nonetheless, and jumps into the air, legs spreading manically-
”Wait!” comes a mysterious voice.
”Young woman, leave those meese alone. They are only trying to welcome you in the fashion of the tundra, and to protect you from these violent miscreants who tumble and pose about so. Oh dear oh dear,” he continues in what some of the students might detect is a bit of a Scouse accent,
”Oh deary dear. Poor Higgins here was just trying to affectionately welcome you, and now I fear you have angered an entire nation of meese. Do you know how many meese there are in Siberia, my dear?”As the man speaks, the circle of meese withdraws from around the trio, and parts slowly to reveal a man of a non-descript sort of age walking slowly towards them. He’s wearing a leather jacket over a black suit and tie, ambling gently over the snow.
”You seem to know yoga, chaps. What are you doing here?”
Assume King Pigeon Pose, while lying down.
"WHY?!"” ああ。 私は知らないよ? あなたはそれを始めました。 Whoa、ユニバーサル・トランスレータが "asswipe"と翻訳して驚いた。 とにかく、私たちは主人を捜しています。主人は、一人になってしまったように見えます。そして、今や大混乱の原因となっている多元を旅しています。 ごめんなさい! 右、今すぐ死ぬ準備、cheesemeister!”"Oh. Right. I see," lies Fisk. He leaps to the ground and thrusts himself in unseemly ways at his attackers, who prepare to chop him to bits.
"Hyyyyynnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngh!"[5+2vs6+1, 4+2vs3+1] The ninjas strike, but their blades are yogically redirected to Fisk’s prominent crotch area – one blade somehow misses, and the other bounces straight off! Fisk puts his hands behind his head and looks up at his attackers.
"Yeah. King Pigeon Pose, gobshites. What do you think about that then, eh?"He looks pretty pleased with himself, but somewhere in the back of his mind he knows he can’t keep this up for too long…
”やばい。 これは何ですか、 "ゴブシャイト"ですか? "ゴブシャイト"、重量? それは素晴らしいです。 私たちは彼を殺すか、彼を残して先生にしてもらえますか?”Jarvis Palkin; Yellow Belt

((For permanent wounds, maybe there's a way to get your parts back? That'd be less cruel. I think.))
Yes, that might just work.
