[OOC - theres a lot of action and  alot of dice rools in this one post so I have written it twice. fiirst time is descriptive, second time shows all the rolls made so you can see them. I used the Microsoft access WoD dice roller that me n Dav created ages ago for this. 

OOC - Oh, as a last note while dropping the Thrysus isn't an action I figure it might prove to be both a minor distraction and bit of misdirection for Quaid as he seems focused on it. 

OOC - actually the dropping of the weapon should be an action. It takes time, thought and hand actions that are easily as involved as throwing a punch or firing a gun so you'll have to decide whether or not to use an action on this. Although the next sentence may well effect said choice. 


IC -


While the interlude and preparation are going on, Quaid uses his Bully Browbeat on the Thrysus and scares the hell out of it, causing it to shrink back to pin size at the start of round 2. 


Round 2

Sachiko sighs and nods in understanding, stepping back before frowning thoughtfully.  Keep forgetting how a lot of the Romance languages sound so much alike.  Italian, French, Spanish all sound beautiful...  Oh, papa, I miss you still.   She crosses her arms, still ready to get going if anything turns on them, melancholic and hungry thoughts dancing in her head.  How Sakura would have loved to jump right into the fray, but there was no blade that would allow her...  The eshu's golden eyes unconsciously searched for a weapon, forcing herself to be picky to keep herself from having a chance to let herself go. 

As far as a makeshift weapon was concerned, sachiko could see dozens but all of them required  adegree of vandelism and time to seperate them from the structures they were part of. Unless .....

There was a side stall, with darts boards in the centre and playing cards on the boards. The game being to throw three darts and make 21 from the various values of the cards. There were darts stuck in the cork boards, a lot of darts. 

Seeing Quaid move quicksilver quick to grab the new girl on his side, Kast leaps into the air and just... stays there. He eyes the grappling duo carefully, flying in place safely out of arm's reach, waits for his opening and... kicks out at Quaid's snarling face. 

Nyx will use all four of her Dragon dice on "one seperate attack action". 

For her main action she, in one motion, goes for a joint break in an attempt to break the arm that Quaid is holding her with. She succeeds (very well) as Quaid is not trying to dodge or deflect this attack. Though she strikes the Redcap in ths arm, Nyx doesn't actually manage to cause any damage or break the joint, but she severaly alters the Redcaps hold and his face shows the exertion.

At the same time, Nyx goes for a simple snap kick to Quaids crotch. Quiad's instinct take over and he brings everything he has into play between his manhood and the Satyrs hoof. Quaid changes his tactics rapidly and lets go of Nyx, moving to parry her kick instinctively with arms, knees and body posture. He manages to turn his body so that Nyx's kick misses, just keeping his crown jewels safe from the hoof. 

Danny, the dumbest of Quaids corbie, moves up and gets in the face Ed and Bill. Throwing his arms around them both in an attempt to bear hug them together. Both are caught up in Danny's arms and pinned togetehr. Impressing neither of them.

Kasterborous, airborne, Attacks with a kick to Quaids face. 

Quiad tries to dodge again but fails. The airborne Redcap's (odd shaped) foot connects, knocking the pilots shades off and delivering a glancing blow that brings tears to Quaids eyes. 

Bill Bites Danny's face, but seems to do little more than a glancing blow. 

Ed kicks out at Danny's lower body. his foot appears to have even less effect than his friends teeth.

Ricky makes a grab for Kasterborous's feet.  He jumps up and grabs one of the talons but then slides right off again and lands deftly on the floor with a look of frustration. 




Round 2
Quaid Initiative - 9 + 8 + 6 + 10 + 8 + 6 + 9 + 1 + 8 Success Count =  7
Arine's Initiative - 4 + 5 + 5 + 7 + 8 + 10   Success Count =  6
Nyx Initiative - 10, 3, 10, 9, 5, 6 successes Count = 5
Danny's initiative - 7 + 4 + 5 + 10 + 8 Success Count =  5
Kasterborous Initiative - 6 + 9 + 10 + 10 Success Count =  4
Bill -  8 + 10 + 2 + 1 + 7 + 10  Success Count =  3
Ed -  7 + 5 + 3 + 10  Success Count =  3
Ricky's inititive - 1 + 4 + 4 + 8 + 2 Success Count =  2

Nyx will use all four of her Dragon dice on "one seperate attack action". 

For her main action she, in one motion, goes for a joint break in an attempt to break the arm that Quaid is holding her with. She succeeds (very well) as Quaid is not trying to dodge or deflect this attack. The move does Str + 2 damage and the roll is  8 + 5 + 5 + 9 Success Count (Successes - Botches) = ( 2 - 0) =  2. 2 damage.

Quaid soaks (natch) - and gets  10 + 4 + 7 Success Count (Successes - Botches) = ( 2 - 0) =  2. 

Nyx doesn't actually manage to cause any damage or break the joint, but she severaly alters the Redcaps hold and I'll put him at a +1 difficulty to maintain the grip. he may be tough, but thats gotta hurt!

Her other attack is a simple snap kick to Quaids crotch. (Dragon Die = Pool of 4) - Roll - 5, 7, 9, 2 / Difficulty is 7. = 2 successes.

Now no guy, no matter kewl and noncholent he is trying to look is going to just let a satyr kick him in the minerals. Quaid changes his tactics rapidly and lets go of Nyx, moving to parry her kick instinctively with arms, knees and body posture. 

He Dodges basically, splitting his dice pool.  6 + 9 + 3 + 8  - Success Count (Successes - Botches) = ( 3 - 0) =  3. Just keeping his crown jewels safe from the hoof. 

Danny, the dumbest of Quaids corbie, moves up and gets in the face of the two Redcap NPC's (Ed and Bill). Throwing his arms around them both in an attempt to bear hug them together. Neither managed the initiative to dodge this and are caught up in Danny's arms. Danny rolls to grappls and gets -  2 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 6 + 3 + 4 + 4 
Success Count (Successes - Botches) = ( 4 - 0) =  4, beating both their Strengths and pinning the pair togetehr. Impressing neither of them.

Kasterborous Attack -  Dice roll (Dexterity 3 + Brawl 1 = 4 dice) results are 5, 7, 2, 3 for a whopping one success on facekick roll. 

Quiad tries to dodge again but [ 5 + 1 + 6 - Success Count (Successes - Botches) = ( 1 - 1) =  0] fails. The Redcaps (odd shaped) foot connects, knocking the pilots shades off and doing [ 8 + 3 + 8 - Success Count (Successes - Botches) = ( 2 - 0) =]  2 Damage. Quaid sokas one and takes one damage. [ 5 + 3 + 7 - Success Count (Successes - Botches) = ( 1 - 0) =  1]

Bill Bites Danny's face, getting one success [ 3 + 4 + 8 + 9 + 1 - Success Count (Successes - Botches) = ( 2 - 1) =  1]. Doing Strength + 2 damage [  2 + 1 + 8 + 4 + 5 - Success Count (Successes - Botches) = ( 1 - 1) =  0]. A glancing blow. 

Ed kicks out at Danny's lower body. [ 2 + 3 + 3 + 2 + 7 - Success Count (Successes - Botches) = ( 1 - 0) =]  1 success. Strength + 1 Damage [ 2 + 8 + 9 + 1 - Success Count (Successes - Botches) = ( 2 - 1) =]  1 damage which Danny soaks [ 9 + 5 + 8 + 3 - Success Count (Successes - Botches) = ( 2 - 0) =  2].

Ricky makes a grab for Kast's feet. [ 8 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 3 - Success Count (Successes - Botches) = ( 2 - 0) =]  2 succeses.Enough to beat Kasterborous Strength but making a judgement call here and comparing it to Dexteroty instead (only the feet are within reach) so He jumps up and grabs them but slides right off again. 


So, round three people?
