Arine's Initiative

Quaid is pissed!

Quaid snarls with a gutteral, bestial roar that chills the spine. Only those 
close to him catch the Gaelic phrase he utters.

Quiad bursts into Flames!

At least, his hands and his head do. Chimerical blue-black flames that 
flicker and whip in the wind.

Ricky, still crouched from his failed attempt to grab Kasterborous, appears 
to be drawing something in the mud and dust (a Bunk of course). A quick 
sketch of some wings with lines through them. To the left of the fight, the 
bunting and flags from the 'win a goldfish' stall unravel and fly towards 
Kasterborous at high speed.**

[Ensnare doesn't read as if one gets to dodge but I've always allowed a 
player to do so. So Kasterborous may dodge if he wants and if he beats or 
equals Ricky's Initiative to see it coming.]


Kast's Initiative is not enough to match little Ricky's initiative so no 
dodge. He'll use his action this round to keep from falling flat on his ass, 
though. Dex + athletics, I'm assuming. [Roll results: 2, 4, 4, 5 = 0 
successes.]

Kast's wings are quickly tangled up in the flying flags and streamers and he 
falls to the ground, landing with the utmost lack of grace and nimbleness 
flat on his ass.

Nyx backs away slightly from Quaid and begins moving her body in the same 
way as Bruce Lee did, making the same noises he did and in general copying 
his fighting style but for the moment its obvious she has went on the 
defensive.*

Danny continues to grapple the younger Redcaps, Squeezing them so tight they 
are in pain, and has begun to waddle with them towards the ferris wheel.

OOC
*Now after consulting the books and comparing the description of Nyx's bunk, 
I have to say its a level two for run of the mill Changelings. Comparable to 
'dance around the target' (legerdemain or 'jump up and down and spin in a 
circle' (Wayfare). However, because doing this is actually natural and part 
and parcell with Nyx's style, for her alone that will drop to a level one 
Bunk. It will not, however, have the distracting and intimidating effects it 
did when Bruce does it. (her flimsy outfit and heavy breathing however, 
probably quite off putting) ;)

Nyx is using the Bunk to cast Whirling Dervish (Discord - 4) on Quaid. (Dex 
+ Fae = 5 dice pool, against a Difficulty of 8 (5 for Quaid's Banality + 
4, - 1 for the bunk)

Her rolls are 8, 4, 2, 7, 7 - 1 success. She will be at -1 Diff to hit Quaid 
next turn.

**[legerdemain 2: ensnare, Dex + Prop = 6, Diff 6 (1 Glamour to lower it) - 
3 + 9 + 9 + 2 + 4 + 8 Success Count =  3 ].
