[_DivideByZero_]

Nyar slumps a bit, he seems relieved but perhaps disappointed. "Gee whiz...

A fish stick empire? What, does he own a chain of restaurants?

Sigh. As usual, detente and ennui hand in hand".

Nyar buys the poor woman he yelled at a drink and then converses with the barkeep/waiter.

"You wouldn't happen to know where Fishcetti is? Perhaps a nice pent house sweet or a charming country side maison?" Nyar watches the Barkeep curiously.

"Restaurants. Bookstores too." explains the woman.
"I hate them books," says the first thug.

In response to your question, the bartender with the white hair says nothing, and points at the second thug.
"What? No! I'm not Alfonso Fischetti..."

"Fine then."

Brass knuckle this bastard in the knee, break it.

(Players have initiative, so you go first and focus everything on offense) The thug looks big and beefy, and judging by his movements he is actually pretty sober. 2 DEX, 1 CEL, 2 STR, 3 RES.

[6][6][6][4] Yeah that knee is going down. It gets dislocated horribly. He's not going anywhere soon.

However, the thug is more than capable of pounding your face in. He first grabs you by the neck--you attempt to block [2+1] and he grabs your free wrist instead. You maintain a grip on the knee. He then tries to beat your face in anyway, and because your arms are occupied you end up [6][3] with a minor bruise on the face.

[NRDL]

"DO NONE OF YOU BASTARDS FEEL PAIN?!"

Punch him with my free brass knuckled hand in the throat repeatedly.

[WunderKatze]

Still watching the barkeep, Raioyris summons the Auspex to his hand. "Seize him." With that Raioyris' allies seize the second thug. The Auspex adds the nessessary knowledge to them.

"I'm afraid you're going to have to speak up, I didn't quite hear you." Raioyris says to the barkeep.

[Mallos]

Hmph. Time to make some debt.. Mephistopheles thought to himself before launching out of the oven at the mafioso and swinging his redsteel sword viciously. "Not on my watch, mortal!"

[HighEndNoob]

Trying to keep me away, huh? Something is going on in there they don't want me seeing.

Apologize and assert myself in helping clean up the 'accident.'

[Yottawhat]

"Nice job Slippy, just had to bring back a gaggle of thugs with you." Bracken mutters to himself.

Wait for the thugs to start swinging at The Courier then shoot at one thug using 4 dices.

[_DivideByZero_]

Update 11

"DO NONE OF YOU BASTARDS FEEL PAIN?!"

Punch him with my free brass knuckled hand in the throat repeatedly.

[6][5] (DEX vs RES) You rig some more dice. However, he makes an attempt to block with two of his dice, subtracting two of your own dice from your attack. You break his jaw, but you can't quite get through all the way to the neck because he is looking down at you.

With his remaining attack, the thug attempts to brush you off once and for all [2] (CEL vs STR) and he succeeds! You skid across the ground, while the thug collapses to the floor, his knee bent wildly out of shape and his jaw broken. He is definitely out of commission.

Hmph. Time to make some debt.. Mephistopheles thought to himself before launching out of the oven at the mafioso and swinging his redsteel sword viciously. "Not on my watch, mortal!"

"Looks like we'll have to deal with them meet-" Suddenly you crash through the locked oven door ([1][4]+1 trying twice to break out of there using your STRength), and violently accost the thug with scolding blows of your weapon. [6][3] Blood spills across the countertop, adding a unique red tinge to several batches of pumpkin muffins lined up in rows.

The baker is busy cowering in fear. "Who are you with?" he asks.

Still watching the barkeep, Raioyris summons the Auspex to his hand. "Seize him." With that Raioyris' allies seize the second thug. The Auspex adds the nessessary knowledge to them.

"I'm afraid you're going to have to speak up, I didn't quite hear you." Raioyris says to the barkeep.

A squad of armymen kicks open the door (it was unlocked, but it seems to be a very sturdy door). They grab 'Al' and drag him into a nearby project, whereupon they pile inside to avoid disrupting the party.

"That man was Fischetti." the bartender quips tersely. "Alfredo Fischetti."

Trying to keep me away, huh? Something is going on in there they don't want me seeing.

Apologize and assert myself in helping clean up the 'accident.'

As you kneel down to help, you hear a whisper in your ear: "What kind of business you looking for?"

I wait for the thugs to round the corner, then fire at the first one to appear.

[5+2][1][1](Enemy gets one free block) You fire a shot. The round fails to eject so you pull the action to let the casing out, along with a live round which plummets to the ground. 3 shots left in the integral magazine.

You notice a burst of flame and smoke in front of the squadron of thugs. Initially you suspected it was Bracken... but when all four thugs step through the ashes and charge you, you realize you were proven wrong. He couldn't have just missed at close range with a shotgun, could he?

"Nice job Slippy, just had to bring back a gaggle of thugs with you." Bracken mutters to himself.

Wait for the thugs to start swinging at The Courier then shoot at one thug using 4 dices.

You notice a glow emanating from the front thug's chest, and catch a subtle change in their formation as they charge Slippy: the lead one steps back.

You put a shell into the rightmost thug, the closest to you. The aftermath is the same as last time--a burst of flame--except that the pellets left a few marks this time on his right arm.

You notice bits of red-glowing glass, having fallen to the mud. Were those there before?

The Auspex
"The Auspex is seemingly a interdimensional communication device. Hard routed to communicate with Nayrs personal interdimensional allies.

Summons randomly: 5 Roman legionaries, 5 Gondorian soldiers, 5 SWAT operatives, 5 Korean war era American combat infantry men, 5 imperial guardsmen, 5 Zeon footsoldiers, 5 First Order Stormtroopers or a temporary time clone of himself that I get to write dialogue for. These reinforcements (even the Romans) are tempered and aware of their situation as Nyar's interdimensional allies.

"Now that THAT is resolved, anybody know where Alfonso Fischetti is? I want to talk to the man." Nix says to the crowd.

[S34N1C]

Start walking backwards, and fire on the same thug I tried to shoot last turn.

[Mallos]

Mephistopheles flicks some of the fresh blood off his blade, sheathes it, and slowly turns to the Baker. ""Nobody important to you",  Mephistopheles states coolly before adding, But I'm not with the Meteor Muffins or any of these other amateurs. Besides, I can offer you real protection."

Do my best to convince the Baker that I am powerful and on his side. Soothe his fears of the Mafia, he has a god on his side after all.

"Oh shit!" Bracken turns around to run. "Slippy! How the hell did you piss off a fockin' Magus!"

Use two dice to run out of the opposite side of the alley and use the other two to evade any attacks.

Feel free to just narrate. If you want to split dice unevenly, just put a (3) for example next to the action itself.

For blocking/dodging you'd have to specifically mention being evasive.

[WunderKatze]

"It's a start, I suppose.

I'm afraid I'm going to need you to come with me"

Nyar takes the barkeep with him to the room with the captive. He really doesn't have a choice. Resistance means that he gets Samurai Edge put up to his head. More resistance means brass hits the floor.

Update 12

"Now that THAT is resolved, anybody know where Alfonso Fischetti is? I want to talk to the man." Nix says to the crowd.

A finely dressed young sheik walks up to you. He seems less... spifflicated than the rest of them. Actually, you don't face a sudden waft of alcoholic stench as soon as he approaches, so he is pretty clean indeed.

"Fish-ticks, eh? You hit the wrong place buddy. This mill belongs to the Meteor Muffins. We the finest bakers in all downtown Chicago.
Fish-ticks, he just sits in his mansion all day sipping that illegal stuff. I can give you his address from last year if ya want, but he's prolly moved since then."

Start walking backwards, and fire on the same thug I tried to shoot last turn.

(1 Die for dodging backwards, 3 for attacking)

[5][5][4]+1 Another shot rings out in the alley. It hits the new lead guy, and again the same thing happens: explosion, little to no wounding. You spy a cracked amulet around his neck, just before they would otherwise strike.

[5] You launch yourself against the back wall (nowhere to go from now on! Unless you go up... there's a windowsill at waist level and another window right above your head) to avoid the thugs' advances.

They try to shift their formation again--but there's a bit of confusion among them, it seems. The guy Bracken shot and the other guy in the back bump into each other, both trying to get in front.

Two shots left in the mag.

"Oh shit!" Bracken turns around to run. "Slippy! How the hell did you piss off a fockin' Magus!"

Use two dice to run out of the opposite side of the alley and use the other two to evade any attacks.

(Using two dice on a non-combat action like running lets you roll two mental dice, and two physical dice, and pick the highest) [3+1][9] You make it to the other side, and are discovered, but it seems that your discovery has confused their ranks. The guard you shot swipes at you as you go by, [5][5] but it's irrelevant as you had the element of surprise on your side. You're in position to strike again, [8+1] and you've managed to count three broken amulets around their necks and one live one--whose wielder is in the middle of shuffling around among the pack.

Mephistopheles flicks some of the fresh blood off his blade, sheathes it, and slowly turns to the Baker. ""Nobody important to you",  Mephistopheles states coolly before adding, But I'm not with the Meteor Muffins or any of these other amateurs. Besides, I can offer you real protection."

Do my best to convince the Baker that I am powerful and on his side. Soothe his fears of the Mafia, he has a god on his side after all.

"Gee, you must be one of them abominable intelligences. Ain't you fellas banned by the Technicon?" he says, eyeing the oven which you broke out of. "Still, if you've ended up hidden all along... I'm all ears."

"It's a start, I suppose.

I'm afraid I'm going to need you to come with me"

Nyar takes the barkeep with him to the room with the captive. He really doesn't have a choice. Resistance means that he gets Samurai Edge put up to his head. More resistance means brass hits the floor.

The bartender shrugs, and calmly walks over.

Inside the closet, which the infantrymen have thoughtfully renovated into a rather spacious interrogation chamber, dimly-lit by means of flashlight. All of the infantrymen but one are sipping out of bottles found inside the closet. "It ain't often we get to drink on the job," explains one.

The one not drinking is busy using advanced information gathering techniques on 'Al,' who indignantly shrieks: "My name is NOT Alfonso! I am Alfredo!"
