[PIPER MEADE]

OOC: hope there are shadows.  Arine's Initiative - 7+7+6+8+7+5 = 6 As I've said I'm not too worried about acting until next round so where ever you want to use that roll go ahead.

Arine's Initiative 
 
Ricky is on Kasterborous like filth on the Gotham River. The diminuative Redcap seemed surprise as his success but was equally able to take quick advantage as he trew his legs over the prone Kasterborous and began tugging at the bunting to tie them tighter. Unfortunatly while they made great enchanted bonds, now they are simply plastc and begin to tear. Ricky seems intent on tying knots and Kasterborous feels the static tingle of gthering Glamour. It falls from Ricky's nible fingers tot he ground beneath them both.
 
Ariñe couldn't handle it anymore. She wasn't made to wait. She was made to act, somehow, in some way, to do something and something quick.  The energy had been building in her. She had been amazingly still, calm waters running deep and all that at first. But now... now it was different. She dashed over to the stall with darts, pausing for just one brief moment so that she might concentrat on what she did next, in case she needed the help. her eyes darted from side to side and then she leaped over and instantly fell under the stall's front, hidding. She stayed below the bar of the stall and reached up quickly to grab as many darts as she could to pull them back down below. 

Despite Quaid pulling a weak Johnny Torch routine Nyx doesn't even blink and steps up throwing a Knuckle Fist Strike straight to Quaid's Heart.* Though she strikes him solidly, Quaid remains unmoved where his feet are planted. Nyx is sure it must have hurt*** but the Redcap somehow manages to disply no pain.

Without taking her eyes off of Quaid she snaps out loudly, "Sluagh aid your Redcaps!" It is her hope that the Sluagh, who don't like getting physical, will at least start hurling cantrips to aid their buddies or at least use them to hurt Danny.

The yell registered in Ariñe but made no difference. She was pure instinct now, the animal was fully released. She had to be that way now. She had no training. Instinct was all she had and she had plenty. Her movements were animal and stronge. She had a plan, though it was more action then thought. She did acctually care a bit for these guys, most of them anyway. She lept out of the stall and immediately found the dark between that and the next one. 

The yell seems to snap the Ghoulies out of thier shock and they begin to act, sumoning up Bunks mostly but the Corpse suddenly leaps towards Danny and the crushed Redcaps. His body seeming to distort as he flies through the air, becoming a shadowy splash of liquid that strikes the brawling trio and brings them down from a combination of buffet and slippery surfaces.
 
Quaid snorts and exhibits two moves in rapid succesion. His flame engulfed hands snap out, the right hand grabbing Nyx's left and his left hand grabbing the offending punch. he spins her deftly, twisting her limbs in a way they just weren't supposed to be bent. Nyx is forced to her knee's in excruciating pain. ****
 
As he twists and the etheral flames lick around her arms, Nyx almost looses consciousness from the pain.

Ariñe, darts in hand, continued to move as if life depended on this meal. The drought had come, everything had starved to death or already been killed and now... pray was in sight. This beautiful, soft creature had become... well... she was more like redcap then pooka or satyr at this point but when fighting the nightmare... sometimes you had to become one yourself. There was no more time for waiting. No more time for talk. She moved through whatever shadow may be, darting in and out, until she was right next to Danny with his arms around Bill and Ed. 




((((OOC: so all of that was a bunk for fuddle. She wanted to get as close to Danny as possible without him seeing her before she uses the darts. However, I'm assuming that might take until the end of next round or even the next? Wha'd  ya' think Spikey? And what's the difficulty and all that? )))))

Quaids flames go out at start of Round 5
 
The Rolls
 
*Attack is Knuckle Fist - Adds 1 Dice and the Difficulty which is normally 6 is modified to 5 due to her Whirling Dervish Cantrip.
Rolls - 6 + 8+ 10+ 6+ 6+ 7+ 3+ 9+ 10+ 1+ 5 Success Count - 8
 
**Attackers Strength roll -  4 + 3 Success Count =  0
Defenders Strength roll - 10 + 4 Success Count =  1
***Damage - Rolls - 6, 7, 9 Success Count - 3
Quaid soak's - 5 + 3 + 6 Success Count =  1
Soak (Because I'm assuming Quaid is going to get her this round) - 4 Rolls / Difficulty is 6.
Rolls - 7, 1, 8, 6 Success Count -2
****Quaids Joint lock #1 - 9 + 3 + 5   + 8 + 4 Success Count =  2. Quaids Joint lock #2 -  8 + 6 + 10 + 9 + 4 + 8 Success Count =  5 (proving he is a left handed SOB, something I never knew).
Damage (Str +1 stun damage) - Right arm 5 + 3 + 6 Success Count =  1 , left arm 10 + 9 + 5 Success Count =  2. Quaids Promethean fist burns for a further 4 dice of Chimerical damage (0 turns left to burn). I figure the fire damage takes first as the rest requires pressure / twisting from Quaid, so the soak reduces that by 2. Thats a rather scary 5 points of damage all told. Lucky 3 points are only stun damage!
