In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 362):

Marcus, make a will roll to travel with or through the crowd of drunken worshipers.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 363):

A couple blocks north of you (away from where you are heading/from) you hear a faint explosion.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 364):

Anita will take note of where the sound came from before continuing on.

14:04, Today: Marcus Blackthorn rolled 12 using 3d6.  Will 10 or less.

Marcus failed his will roll

In reply to Marcus Blackthorn (msg # 366):

Marcus pulls away  from the crowd, and is spotted by two purists who had come to the entrance of the street.

Hearing the explosion, Leroy thinks it's an alchemist's error. He had more pressing issues at hand, like three peckerwoods to take down.

OOC:
[Private to GM: Rosewood carries on following the thired purist from above.
If need be he use his pixie dust at creature if get to close to Leroy du Lac.]

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 369):

Rosewood can see the third purist snaking his way into the close- he will be on Leroy shortly!

Marcus can see that the two men have spotted him, and are clenching their fists around their short clubs.

You definitely have the initiative, Marcas can ready his bow and quickdraw an arrow, but may only get one shot before they get to him.

In reply to Purist (msg # 370):

Can Anita see any of this on her way back?

Leroy waits in ambush, his axe upraised, and his shield ready.
He'd been waiting for this, all day.

Rosewood get close enough from above to the human and lets go a multi-coloured bold of pixie dust at the man.  Lighting the man up like fairy on a Christmas tree.
The dust stinging the man skin.

OOC:
17:39, Today: Rosewood rolled 2 using 1d6-3.  Bad pixie dust damage.

In reply to Rosewood (msg # 373):

Anita needs a per roll to hear the purists on Mario over the procession of devotees of St.Pyr.


Meanwhile,  the purist about to enter the close 10 yards from Leroy feels a slap of glitter on the back of his head. As Rosewood,  now visible, is upwards of 6 yards above, he has no way of reaching him, but shakes his club at the sky.

In reply to Purist (msg # 374):

Anita notices everything, and starts sneaking up on the purists. Her crossbow is stowed, but her hand strays to her knife as she approaches...

[Private to GM: Rolled natural 4 for perception, rolled shadowing skill to sneak up on the rear one.]

In reply to Anita Drake (msg # 375):

Anita is able to cut back through the drunken celebrants. She will be in 15 yards of the purists, whobare now 10 yards from Mario.

Leroy is now within move and attack range of the two purists approaching him!

Rosewood fly around above the Purist shouting insults at him.

You and your men are just a group of pathetic limp biscuits following some pretty skirts because you nothing else to do with your useless lives.  I am more manly than all of you put together and I am only 6 inches tall.
Your just a load of losers who cannot find a girlfriend for yourself so you all go running after some little floozy and she got you rapped around her finger.
What you going to do when someone with brains and looks comes along and take her away from you?
Have meetings where you all cry into your beers and talk about how great it was when she was around.
One day she will move on and have no use for your little group.  Your pathetic, your being manipulated and your to stupid to see it.

Then he needs to keep the Purist from attacking the others he shoots another bolt at it.  Rosewood has not interest in hurting the man physically more than he need to.

OOC:
This action will take time.  Rosewood is keeping this Purist occupied so others have time deal with other two.
18:59, Today: Rosewood rolled 3 using 1d6-3.  More Pixie dust.

"I see you've found me. Ready to die a gruesome death, upon my axe?"
16:44, Today: Leroy du Lac rolled 3 using 2d6.  2d sw cut dmg (x1.5).

16:43, Today: Leroy du Lac rolled 8 using 3d6.  axe ~ 14.
Leroy swings!

In reply to Leroy du Lac (msg # 378):

Anita will attempt to approach the rear one from behind, trying to blend into the crowd to be unnoticed.

Any further rolls needed?

In reply to Leroy du Lac (msg # 378):

Having lost his shit, the purist in the alley heaves his club at Rosewood and misses horribly.

The first purist on Leroy swings and misses, and takes a hit to the torso.

The second one swings at Leroy and hits solidly- dodge, parry or take 7 crushing before DR.

09:11, Today: Leroy du Lac rolled 10 using 3d6.  block ~ 12.
Leroy wards off the blow, with his targe. *Thunk*

Rosewood flys over to the roof a little way from the Purist.
It also away from the other group.
He tries to pick one that would be possible to climb up to but would be hard and take time.

Lets see how good you are.  Can you capture a pixie, I think not.
I sure if you do and give it to your little floozy she give you big kiss for capturing the nasty little pixie.  You may even because one of her favorites.
But your not that good are you.
Your going to have tell her how you bravely ran away from the nasty little pixie.

In reply to Marcus Blackthorn (msg # 383):

The first of the charging purists stops dead in his tracks, an arrow protruding  from his midsection.
The secod swats the bow aside with his club!

Meanwhile, the angry purist chasing Rosewood tries to climb.

The ones on Leroy are readying their clubs.

"Surrender, or I'll kill the lot of you!"
Leroy says with steel in his tone, as he swings again, at the one who just missed him.

Rosewood watches the Purist carefully allowing him to climb if he can.
However me move back little by little keeping safe distance until Purist is up fully on the roof.  If the purist goes get up there then Rose will make his next move.

OOC:
Rosewood is enticing the purist to get up on roof but keeping careful distance.
If he get up on roof fully then I make rosewoods next post.
Main aim is to take this purist out of the fight.

In reply to Leroy du Lac (msg # 385):

Coming up behind a purist, Anita drives her long knife deep into the mans vital organs...

[Private to GM: Rolled 5 under stealth, 1 under (skill -3 for vitals), 6 imp damage.]
