As Crusader lands inside the fence and darts to cover, the imposing figure of former World Heavyweight Champion Ty Miaksen steps out of the shadows nearby.
"That's crazy, man! You're right where the ole biddy said you'd be. I tell you what, she's one scary lady. Her eyes are gone, just empty sockets, and she sees anything you do without even turning her head."
"Now, I gotta thump you and take you to," Ty gestures quotation marks "Madam White Snake."
"She tells us to call her that, it has some personal meaning to her that I don't know nothing about. But she's pretty scary, too."
"C'mon, let's see what you got."
Ty attacks.

[Private to Crusader: Combat begins, roll initiative please.]

Crusader only spoke through the com link, otherwise she says nothing. She took out a tonfa style police baton. She held it by the short handle, keeping the longer against her forearm. The thing about her is she never "fights fair," instead she looks for and takes any advantage. Like now, she backpeddles to keep him out of range and throws a flashbang at his feet. Her plan is to distract and disprient him so that she can hide.

Initiative -7
Actions for round #1

1. Toss flashbang at his feet.
   07:58, Today: Crusader rolled 17 using 1d20+5.  Flashbang toss
   
2. Hide, preferably on a rooftop above him.
   
3. Pending
   
4. 
   

As close to human perfection as possible, Ty Miaksen won't be slowed by a firecracker.

Initiative 16
1. tumble to Crusader and punch
2. revealed in future

Ty backflips away from the flashbang, jumps to the edge of the roof and vaults up to land next to Crusader. Then he throws a punch at the hero.
Ty Miaksen, silver medalist in 2009, two time World Heavyweight Champion, considered by some to be the greatest boxer this century has seen, flubs it. Somehow, he crosses his ankles and falls flat on his face atop the building.

Crusader dropped a smoke grenade and turned on her night vision goggles. She used the smoke to  and hide.

3. Use Smoke Grenade
4. Turn on night
5. Hide in Smoke.
13:22, Today: Crusader rolled 52 using 1d100.  /77 prowl.

Kipping upright, Ty looks all around, and doesn't locate Crusader.
"Fine. That's how it is."
He pulls out a piece of paper, looks at it, and takes off to the north. Apparently, Ty is needed in the big house atop the hill.

This place got stranger by the moment. The Ty Miaksen, who barely six seconds ago had challenged her to a fight now turned and ran. All this based on a note from his pocket. She waited, figuring it might be a trick, after a couple seconds she decided to follow. She matched his pace, keeping him in sight. Wherever he was going it seemed important...

It's obvious Ty has done plenty of road work, as he covers the almost 250 yards to the big house in under a minute. It's also apparent that Crusader has done more, as she easily paces behind him. When at the house, Ty goes right in through the front door.

Crusader crouched below the window levels. She moved around the house until she found the power junction box where she used a throwing ax to cut the hardline. Now that they didn't have the benefit of electricity for lighting she crept back around to the front door, which seemed to be ajar. An invitation, much like the spider gave to the fly. She tossed a flashbang in and turned her back to the wall beside the door, waiting for someone to emerge. If no one was brave enough to come out, she tossed in a smoker and let it fill the room before goining in, flipping her night vision on as she went.

Although she finds what appears to be a junction box, her axe cuts through without the telltale sparks and arcing. Any suspicions she has are confirmed when the few lights on in the house remain on.
Even entering the front door, Crusader doesn't see anyone. Even Ty Miaksen is gone.
[Private to Crusader: 300 XP for this little excursion]
