TURN 5: Elite Circus Mooks[quoteTarran]Other Thug's left leg, meet sword. Sword, left leg.[/quote]
[6] vs [6] You feel power welling up inside you, and bring your sword down in a brutal arc. The thug pulls some sort of jester routine, backflipping into a handstand on a table.
+SP: Leg Sever+1 to next actionShiloh grinned. This one was quick! He might be fun to play with some more. He hopped off of the table and attempted to grab the man's improvised weapon, take it, throw it to the other side of the bar, and then tackle him down before applying an armbar.
[5] vs [5] You masterfully lunge. He masterfully dodges. It's like water trying to catch oil.
+SP: Weapon GrappleCompliment the man on his technique.
Then get out of the gas and look for an easier mark!
[1-1][Luck 5] You compliment the man, stumble out of the gas, and right into the middle of the brawl. Fortunately your new acquaintance pulls you back.
"Easy friend," he says, "Men of your talents should stick to the shadows."
[3][Luck 5] vs [3][Luck 2] He sort of fumbles for your (well, his) stuff, and you sort of fumble back at him. He ends up with all the good stuff, though.
Jump onto a table and keep playing, while kicking the stuff on the table at people.
[4][Luck 2] You successfully get several people angry. At you.
Enigma takes some more things. Then, grinning like a Cheshire cat he pours water over all the thugs, then runs away.
[3][Luck 6] vs [4][Luck 5] Your mark notices your attempts this time, and turns to see who's doing it. He suspects it's that one guy over there, but something tells him otherwise...
You, meanwhile, he doesn't quite see.
April reloaded, and decided to put her expertise to use, firing at a thug. (Nameless ability used!)
[5] vs [4] You slightly wing the thug that had thrown a barstool at you.
((I think you already used your ability earlier; I'll retcon this to more damage if not))
Thug: 2/5 HPChrain let out a small roar as he grabbed the Thug's neck and thigh, propping him up onto his shoulders as he rams him into a wall.
[1] vs [1] Each of you assumed the other is feinting, and you end up just sort of stumbling into each other.
!
[2] vs [4] He rushes April, deciding that handling a marksman at range is a bad idea. He doesn't manage much better like this, getting interrupted by tables and chairs in the way.
!
[5] vs [1] He pulls off some sort of ninja cartwheel into Tarran's face, knocking him to the ground.
Tarran: 3/10 HP!
[4] vs [4] Perhaps embarrassed by their earlier display, the thug counterattacks Chrain in a fairly standard manor, met by a fairly standard dodge.
!
[3] vs [3] The last thug gives a somewhat overcautious swipe at Shiloh, who similarly dodges fairly halfheartedly, perhaps wary of a feint.
!!!
[1] vs [4] The man Tarran assaulted tries to finish him off with a dagger, but seems to mistake "badly wounded" for "crippled and defenseless." Tarran rolls away easily enough, and the man curses again.
Alright, quick update. Will do statuses and such later.
