  *The Isle of Crabs Fun Fair*


  Then as if by magic her thrysus pin turns into a full sized chimerical thrysus which she takes into both hands. She makes it very evident that she is siding with the Ghoulies. With practiced ease she hawks and spits landing a nice one right on one of Quaids boots. She stares right into his shades with an ice cold stare.

  Seeing the shapely Satyr jump in on his side causes Kast's cold smile to widen. His stomach lurches as she spits on him, however. Damnit. Now he's gotta stand up or look like a coward. Great move, girly. It'll be a shame when he snaps those legs of yours like toothpicks. He tries not to let any of this show on his face though, throwing more bravado out to Quaid and his group instead. 

  "Looks like you're outnumbered now, huh? Best be heading on home before you get hurt."  


  Quaid's amused looks slides of his face like blood from a wound, almost as if the light drizzle washed it away. His companions bristle gleefully at the expectation of a rumble but he merely glares down at his shoe. Completely ignoring Kast and the others now he is almost shaking with fury.

  Ariñe didn't have to be  anywhere near to feel that coming. Dios, esa muchacha era estúpido. ¿Cuál el infierno era incorrecto con ella? es verded? And had she been there associated with that idiot in that moment she would have damn well told her what an idiot she was because self preservation won out over strangers everytime. And well, that idiot, she deserved what was coming to her. idiota! Seriously, she would have offered her to the wolves had she been there prior to her entrance. She almost didn't believe that had just happened. how did some people make it to adulthood? really? In fact she stopped moving. She was going to let this play out a little before doing anything. Deje a idiota conseguir golpe. (let the idiot get beat)

  "THAT.." he snarls with barely supressed rage "... was .. really ... fucking ... stupid! Stupid in a way only some silly little bitch could be if she'd had her head smacked against a bedpost too many times while fucking diseased Thallian for a crack pipe!"

  He pushes himself off of the carousel and brings himself to his full height. [Anyone making three succeses on a perception + Alertness roll Diff 7 sees that his fingers are snapping stright one at a time as if he were mentally counting to ten as he spoke. Players who want to act now can do so, but I'll post what happens next to keep things moving. All this talking takes 2 turns in which others are free to act, the next sentence and casting of the cantrip take another turn in which players can act if they wish]

  "The sort of stupid that makes a skanky Satyr start a fight with a Redcap when the Redcap was looking to play nice. The sort of stupid that makes me want to keep talking so I don't have to break you over my knee like a .... like a ..... oh forget it"

  His hand darts out, quicker than possible for Joe Averige. Glamour fuelled quick. Quicksilver quick.

  [Unless the players have something to counter this, incluidng the speed to match his Quicksilver]

  His hands grab Nyx around the throat and his second makes a grab for her weapon. 


  So Round 1  - Quaid cast Wayfare:Quicksilver with the Fae Realm of 4 and his Wits of 5, the counting to ten bunk counts as a level 2 (its simple enough to do while talking). Difficulty was Quaid's banality + 4, =9,  as it is higher than Nyx's, and he spent a point of Glamour to lower that to 8. He rolled and he got 10, 2, 7, 8, 7, 2, 10, 8, 3 = 4 Succeses on his Cantrip. 4 extra moves.

  Round 2 (now obvious combat has started so feel free to do as you wish if you didn't already start doing something)
  Moves one and 2 Quaid grapples at double speed, - Dexterity + Brawl - 5, 7, 4, 8, 6, 6, 9, 3 = 5 successes. need to be moving at double speed to react.
  Move 3 he then grabs for the thrysus - 10. 9. 9. 1 = 2 successes.

  he still has two defensive moves left to react to the players. 


  Ariñe waited and if Sachiko kept moving she grabed her arm gently but directly and shook her head, not saying anything and her eyes never left Quaid. If the guys had any sense in them they'd let that girl to the wolves, though may be they knew her, for all she knew they did but still. Even if they did... sometimes people desrve what they get and that... that deserved it all.
