Samuel ducked under the knife blade and rolled away.

"Yeah. Fine time to be nice, right after you mutilate my hand. Perfect time to make friends."

[Fniff]

"Look, have you ever heard of apologizing? I am going to do it now. I am sorry I tore off a bit of your self-righteous, bitchy little finger. Are you happy now?"

[Simmura McCrea]

Simmura stood up, his hand going to the knife handle, but leaving it hidden. "Why don't ye just fuck off, aye? We're tryin' tae have a quiet drink an' yer comin' in and causin' a scene. Once is bad enough, but twice? Too far. So ye've apologised, gid fir ye. Now put the knife away and piss off afore I get really annoyed."

[Little]

Amber casually stands up and pulls her sawed-off shotgun out of her jacket, a wide grin on her face.

((Nope, my bad.))

[Hubris Incalculable]

((Um, little? there's an empty quote mark in your post. did you want to put some speech in it?))

[Archangel]

((Note:I am going on a school camp on Monday and coming back on Wednesday, so I won't be joining your group until then at the earliest))

((I hope you're also going to respond to this:))

Meanwhile, in the back room of a shady bar on the other side of town...
A well dressed man is sitting behind a desk, looking at the pieces of a disassembled pistol laid out in front of him, and muttering. Archangel is ushered into the room by a massive thug and sits in the battered but comfortable chair opposite the man, who looks up with an expression that manages to be both bored and questioning. Archangel leans forward and starts examining the gun parts, cleaning this and adjusting that, and says, "G'day mate, I'm looking for a job and I was told you could help me out. Amongst other things, I'm good with a gun, a heavy weapons specialist. What have you got for me?"

[Strife26]

((Did you want me to give a plot hook there? I figured that you were building your own.))

[Archangel]

((Did you want me to give a plot hook there? I figured that you were building your own.))

((Yes, I did. Sorry if I didn't make that clear enough))

[Strife26]

((Very well. I'll have a plot hook of some sort up when I have the melee rules up. Limited time with actual internet access right now.))

((I'm not talking to your character, Arch, I was talking to Little's, responding to this post:

((GO CANUCKS!))

"So, Simmura, I'm broke and need cash."

((Whoops, sorry. I think I'll go remove that stuff))

Melee combat is vicious and bloody.

Melee combat may occur at range 1 or range 0, with differing effects depending on the range.

At its core, fighters in Melee combat make opposing D10 rolls, with modifiers depending on their weapon. There are five different actions that can be undertake during Melee combat. An attack goes to the damage section if the difference between the two rolls is at least the listed number.

1. Generic fighting (damages on +1)
2. Defensive fighting (damages on +3, +2 to opposing damage on value)
3. Change distance (damages on +2, changes distance (1 to 0 or 0 to 1) on -1)
4. Disarm opponent (not available at range 1, removes opponents weapon on a +2)
5. Disengage (only available at range 1, runs away from combat)

Any firearm may be fired at range 1, with a -3 to the melee roll for that turn. Weapons with the concealable tag (meaning that it's a relatively short weapon) only take a -1 to be fired at range 1, and may also be fired at range 0 with a -3 for the melee roll and a -1 to hit.


If a fighter gets an attack through, the target table is rolled to decide where the hit connects, followed by a d6 to determine the amount of damage (1 miss, 2-3 minor, 4-5 Major 6 critical), bleeding effects determined by GM discretion.


Knives:
+1 Damage
+1 Range 1
+3 Range 0

Knuckle enhancement weapons (includes very short clubs and rocks)
+1 Damage
+2-4 (depending on weapon) Range 0

Swords
+2 Damage
+3 Range 1
-1 Range 0

Bats/ Clubs
+1 Damage
+2 Range 1
-1 Range 0

Long swords/ axes / heavy clubs
+4 damage
+1 Range 1
-4 Range 0

Pistols
+1 Range 0

SMG's/Assault Rifles/Shotguns
+1 damage
+1 range 1
-1 range 0

Long guns
-1 range 1
-2 range 0

Heavy weapons
-3 to all ranges

Explosives
May be triggered in melee, for all kinds of fun.



Surprise Melee attacks gain a +4 for the first attack. Those with skill in Melee (close combat/ hand-to-hand) fighting may take a -2 to any attack to make it a called hit to a body part of their choice. Strong gives a permanent +1 bonus to attack rolls, agile and dexterous each have a 50% chance of giving a +1 every turn.

The well dressed man watches the strange mercenary fiddler with the disassembled weapon.  Neither speaks for awhile, until he finally breaks the silence.

"I'm not a violent man, understand, just enterprising. I run my bar, and own a few others across town. There's enough of a criminal organization about that it's hardly unheard of for some poor bar owner to get offered "protective insurance" lest some stupid fire a flare gun through his front window. So I started a bit of a community watch sort of thing, a bunch of small establishment owners are in on it. You fuck with one of us, you fuck with all of us.

Someone's fucking with us. Me and four other owners have gotten some pretty mean requests. Two caved in and paid out, while me, Adams' Pub, and the Forecastle told them to fuck off. I've heard some not nice rumors around, and Johnny at the Forecastle had to chase off some SOB's with a 12 gauge.

We're not mob, the closest thing we've got to real violent types are a couple of little biker bars that are in on the organization. Basically, I need someone to figure out who is fucking with us and tell them to fuck off. And if they won't do that, to fuck them up until they decide to fuck off. Interested?"
