[Aydi al-Qais]

"Playing thug, huh?" in an upturn, Aydi locked the man's leg and was close to weighting him over.

EM2. Control the Grapple!: 4d10o10k3 20

[Soraya al-Menjari]

Sora - Defense Stance (ATN 23) [Initiative 22]

Run...? B-But... they were in trouble!

The princess bravely drew her knife in shaky hands!



"They're my friends, and I won't let you h-hurt them!"

She was not very intimidating, though at least she was holding the knife the right way.

[Jewel]

Though she put on a good show, given the circumstances, if a bunch of hardened street toughs were willing to tackle an enforcer and a guard a princess with a knife... not much of an added threat.

"Well come along nicely and they don't need to be hurt."

The leader snarled as she tried yet again to grab Soraya, this time pinning the Dahabi maiden in her arms and preparing to try and drag her to the sewer opening.

(Grapple of Soraya = Success)

The thug on Joab slugs the Enforcer across the jaw though it is hardly enough to slow him down... were he able to regain his footing.

The one that had pinned Aydi found no such luck and was at the mercy of what the guard decided to do.

(Grappled)

(Aydi's up)

[Aydi al-Qais]

Aydi sent the scum where he belonged, the gutter, and immediately darted to block the path of sewer escape to the brute shackling the princess! "Kick, Sayyeda!"

[Complex Throw In Opposite direction to movement, Knife Draw, Free Move]

[Jewel]

Having been searching for Soraya after losing sight of her in the crowd the sounds of flying thug bring the Ra'Shari running.

(Round 2 begins

Grapples roll to maintain grapple

[Raya]

How did she get so far ahead?!

Raya would have to work out that one later, as she went running towards the shouting and screaming. Quickly.

For once she was dressed rather conservatively, in plain robes instead of bright colours. It was very different

D2 em initiative: 3d10o10k2 32
Attack Stance
TN15

[Kezia]

Oh, now this simply won't do.

Kezia was in her more ragged and unobtrusive garb, but the fluidity of her movements as she pushed through the crowd was a dead giveaway- especially since she seemed to avoid a few people whose movements she couldn't possibly have anticipated.

[Initiative: 30
Stance: Attack
ATN: 23
Ghosting instructions in my PF if I gotta bail]

[Soraya al-Menjari]

The Princess kicks like Aydi asks, but she's not exactly a powerhouse...

[Grapple check = 9 vs opponent's 27]
