It is none of my business. Proceed towards the center of the city. If something gets in my way, cut it in two with the letter opener.

Name: Blade Itself
Description: A flesh-thing dressed in a plastic shower curtain re-tailored into a kimono.
Wounds: Nada
Swords: KILL CHOP DELUXE (SUPER MOVE: KILL CHOP DELUXE goes into a frenzy, dragging the SUPER MOVE'S wielder a short distance, and when the SUPER MOVE stops, hacking back and forth into the SUPER MOVE'S target.  This ability can chew through several feet of mundane materials, and can still be directed by KILL CHOP DELUXE's wielder. )
Items: Letter Opener, Meat Cleaver, Sharpened Rebar, Sharpened Fountain Pen

[Imp]

Wave forgivingly towards the broom-wielder, then get up and move to a less-likely-to-be-in-the-path-of-sweeping spot, maybe under some stilts.  As I seek my better spot, I consider how nice it is to remain filthy for 'a time' rather than 'until cleaned up'; I imagine the mess is dripping from me but actually all falling off.

Then settle into my hopefully better-chosen spot and turn my attention back to meditating on being observant and aware while exploring how miracles caused by ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS affect my meditation.

Spoiler: CHARACTER SHEET (click to show/hide)

Name: Forever Nameless
Description: 
Wounds: - none yet
Swords:

- ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS; SUPER MOVE: ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS causes the target to acutely remember the events of the next second.  The events are trapped in the person's mind, disorienting the target and causing them to lose focus.  This SUPER MOVE can affect one more powerful target or several weaker targets.
- example miracles:  Never let you forget anything, make someone remember something, write secret messages that are only visible to those you choose, plant a fake but very very plausible memory in someone's head

Items: Two coils of strong cord, one thin and longer, one thicker and even stronger, but shorter.  A toolkit with a wide range of tools, including what might be used to cook, polish, carpenter, carve, locksmith, sow, and a range of other general-purpose use tools.  A samples kit with various materials and fluids , such as glues, solvents, acids, buffers, dyes, a few swatches of several different kinds of fabric, 10 small pieces of uncommon woods, 10 small pieces of uncommon minerals.

[Crystalizedmire]

Try to position myself so that the cops are in one line and use OCCAM'S SUPER RAZOR'S SUPER MOVE.

[BlackPaladin99]

That's 4/6

[King Zultan]

Sneak over towards the fighting and get behind one of the cops so I can shoot him in the back with my secret shotgun.

Name: Swordhaver McHasasword
Description: A bearded man wearing a large hat and a trench coat, nothing suspicious about him, nothing at all.
Wounds: None
Swords:
DEFINITELY NOT GUN
Miracles: make people fixated on any sword they see, make people go into a gun-hating frenzy, make people agree with you on one thing until they have cause to disagree with you again, find the nearest gun, have people hide guns in your presence
SUPER MOVE: DEFINITELY NOT GUN turns into any one thing you choose that is not a gun for a duration depending on its complexity and combat usefulness.  If the thing is expendable, DEFINITELY NOT GUN reappears in your hand after you use it.  For instance, a ballista or a grenade would only last a few seconds, a car or a drill would last a few minutes, and a shovel would last a few hours.  The cooldown restarts when the item turns back. 

Items: Sawn-off Shotgun, shotgun shells, Sword Cleaning kit that has a secret compartment to hide the shotgun inside.

Head to that event, perhaps I can win a new SWORD- steal a new SWORD- or procure money for a new SWORD there.

Name: Genhov von Clubenstein
Description: A fat and sloven man who would not easily be mistaken for a SWORDMASTER if not for the excessive brace of scabbards and sheaths braced across his body.
Wounds:
Swords:
NOT A SWORD
   Miracles: can behave as a nonmagical, simple tool (no moving parts), can turn invisible, can turn incorporeal, lets you convince anyone you choose that you are completely unarmed and harmless.
   SUPER MOVE: NOT A SWORD phases partially into nothingness for a few swings, allowing its user to choose what affects it and what it passes right through.  Additionally, in this state NOT A SWORD becomes much sharper, sharp enough to hack through even other magic swords with a few swings. 
Items: Clothes, 101 assorted scabbards and sheaths

Event?  What specifically do you mean? 

[crazyabe]

Event?  What specifically do you mean?

The Swordsmasters battling over the golden canister on the wall top to the west, given no one is surprised, it's likely not something unexpected- like a robbery- though it may simply be some form of duel, the fact that they are fighting over a specific thing says more likely a local Sport, and given Swordmasters are involved that means it likely has prizes that are or can easily be can be converted to SWORDs.

Turn 2

[3]

You draw NOT A SWORD with a flourish, dashing through the crowd and up the wall behind the combatants.  They momentarily pause and look at you. 

Are you going to announce yourself like Swordmasters usually do?  Or is it just straight to the killing?

Spoiler: Egan_BW (click to show/hide)

It is none of my business. Proceed towards the center of the city. If something gets in my way, cut it in two with the letter opener.

[2]

You head straight towards the center of the city.  There is a house blocking your path.  How dare it!  You slash it off its foundations.  Behind it, another one rises to take its place.  You give it the same treatment.  You make it maybe 200 yards before you hear someone shout "STOP" at you.  You turn around.  There is a squad of WPD (Weaponopolis Police Department) members behind you, as well as an auxilliary tier 1 CHAINSAW CLERIC.  Maybe chewing through 200 yards of people's homes with a letter opener wasn't such a good idea.

[4]

Yeah, it is nice.  You walk somewhere better and sit down.  You fall into a meditative trance and draw on the power of ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS. 

[Sword Use: 3]

You feel an increased sense of presence.  You suspect that a meditative trance will be easier to maintain under the influence of ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS, and you might even be able to maintain it while moving, or gain different benefits from increased study.  But for now, however, your meditations have hit a block.  You suspect something more will be needed, maybe a change of perspective, to continue looking into this.

"Mighty kind of you there, friend. Don't worry - you won't hear hide nor hair from me."
Saltpetre being stockpiled? Sounds like the sort of trouble I could get my paws into. Head on over to stir up some mischief, and see if I can get my hands on something shiny.

[2]

You head over to the warehouse, picking up an especially shiny pie tin on the way, and scout it out from a rooftop.  Several brown-robed men and women surround the building.  Gunpriests, you suspect.  The windows are too dirty to see within.  Unfortunately, your pie tin catches the light, and one of them sees it.  "HEY", he screams.  He pulls out a brown and grey handled cylinder and brandishes it at you. 

Spoiler: King Zultan (click to show/hide)

Sneak over towards the fighting and get behind one of the cops so I can shoot him in the back with my secret shotgun.

[Initiative: You(5), Other interloper(4), Cops(4), Gunpriests(3)]

Your Turn
[Movement Roll: 4]
[Attack Roll: 4-1]

You dash behind the cops and take aim with your shotgun.  Unfortunately, since your hand is much more used to swords, it feels awkward.  You nevertheless take aim and fire.  You take one of the cops out cleanly, as they were too busy yelling at the idiot who stumbled in the middle of their firefight to notice. 

Interloper's Turn
[Movement Roll: 3]
[Attack Roll: 5]

The interloper moves around to the edge of the fight, points OCCAM'S SUPER RAZOR at the cops, and screams "OCCAM'S SUPER RAZOR."  He vanishes along with three of the cops who appear a moment later cleanly bisected. 

Cops' Turn
[Movement Roll: 2]
[Attack Roll: 5]

The three remaining cops, now outnumbered, attempt to flee.  They don't get very far, as their path is blocked by an enterprising gunpriest.  In desperation, they shoot their lightning lances, two of them shooting at the gunpriests and clearing a path.  The third fires at you. 

[Roll To Dodge Lightning Lance: 5]

That was a mistake.  You nimbly avoid the shot, and then dash up to the cop in preparation for a killing blow. 

Gunpriests' Turn
[Movement Roll: N/A]
[Attack Roll: 2]

The gunpriests pull out more of their cylinders and open fire at you, badly missing but still making you jump.  Oh right, they hate you guys. 

Spoiler: Crystalizedmire (click to show/hide)

Try to position myself so that the cops are in one line and use OCCAM'S SUPER RAZOR'S SUPER MOVE.

[Initiative: Other Interloper(5), You(4), Cops(4), Gunpriests(3)]

Interloper's Turn
[Movement Roll: 4]
[Attack Roll: 4-1]

While you are drawing OCCAM'S SUPER RAZOR, you see someone dash around behind the cops and shoot one in the back.  Coward.   

Your Turn
[Movement Roll: 4-1]
[Attack Roll: 5]

You move around to the edge of the fight, attempting to align multiple constantly moving cops.  It's hard.  When you get three in a row, you decide this will probably be the best opportunity you get.  You point OCCAM'S SUPER RAZOR at them and scream "OCCAM'S SUPER RAZOR."  Space and time fold together in front of you, presenting you with one clear path, one simple path, one clear opportunity.  You dash forward along this path, allowing your sword to cleave through the poor souls trapped in there with you.  You streak along to the end of the path, cutting yourself an exit.  You appear in a small, disheveled, crap-stained hovel.  You feel a hearth at your back and see a door to your front.  The eight or so people of all ages and genders in there with you stare in shock.  A moment later, you look down and see why.  Your foot seems to have landed in their full stewpot.  Whoops.   

[Cooldown: 3 Turns]

[Egan_BW]

What's the purpose of the spoiler tags?

[BlackPaladin99]

They're to organize the turns, make it look smaller, and technically to keep the contents of turns secret from other players.  The way I see this shaping up is that you guys will probably be in conflict quite a bit, and you haven't even left Lower City.

Blade tilts Blade's head at the filthy popo. Stop? What does stop? Unless...
"HAMMER TIME!!!!!"

Throw DELUXE sharpened rebar at cop and then scram.

"My, you have me in quite the pickle here... It's just such a shame-"
I place a paw on IMPAWSIBLE YET UNDENIABLE, forcing him to believe my next line.
"That your silly little toy there is jammed."
I raise my nose in the air disdainfully.
"Now why don't you drop the gun and get out of here, before this cat has to take your tongue."

IMPAWSIBLE YET UNDENIABLE
Miracles: Limited ranged telekinesis (with cat paw strength/fine manipulation ability), make cat noises appear out of nowhere, make someone believe something utterly impossible until confronted with its impossibility, make nobody in a room verbally contradict you.
SUPER MOVE: IMPAWSIBLE YET UNDENIABLE causes you to make a truly putrid cat pun, which causes those who hear it to reel out of sheer disgust and lose some ability to defend themselves as they retch because of your pun.

Items: A feline-sized scabbard.
