This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The lowdown as Zarko sees it: Two wookies and a wook-zombie stand in their circles, taunting your crew.  Three at full fighting strength, check.  The fourth wookie squats besides Shifty and begins tearing the elf's jerkin, making rags to staunch his stabwound.  Done for?  Not sure.  Shifty is smurfed though: out like a little blue lightbulb.

All of your fighters have crowded round to watch, including your sentries.  Malone, Bob and Philimon watch the wookies impassively but the rest of your fighters seem a little spooked.  Even the boastful Rocketblaster is silent, watching Creature expectantly.

Cursing under his breath, Buck squares his shoulders and steps toward one of the wookies...

"Hey, youse guys!" Zarko barks at the wayward sentries. "Back on watch! And thanks for letting us know a bunch of wookiees were sneaking up on us!"

He stalks off, fuming, to see what happens to Buck.

[In defense of your sentries, one of them did his best.  The other decided to get all stabby.  When you have an evil magical birthmark stuff like that happens:]
Quote from: ttagxamm;261214Leeplo croaks out an alarm!  At the same time there's a cackle from Shifty and a yelp of wookish rage.  After a brief scuffle in the dark Shifty's laughter stops.
Leeplo and one of the klengons trot off to guard your flanks.  

Zarko watches Buck and the wookie circle each other, taking each others measure in the ring.  He's so focused he doesn't have a chance to duck when something dark and squishy bounces off his cheek.  Zarko looks down to find a large hairball at his feet, fresh and spitty.   The wooky two rings over slaps his knee and wheezes.  If wookies had eyebrows, his'd be raised as if to say, "Gonna do something about it?"

[Arrangement of fighting rings: L: hairball tosser, C: zombie-wook, R: Buck & wookie toe-to-toe]

Buck and the wooky circle each other.  Buck swings high with his club but the wook is faster and catches him with a sharp jab.  Buck rolls with the punch and swings again, cracking the wooky across the cheek.  The two reel back from each other, both rocked.  

[Buck takes 8 HP damage.  If you're going to keep fighting re-roll initiative along with ATT, DAM and save]

Quote from: Dr Rotwang!;262209Surreptitiously, Quazarn follows the ratling.
The ratling is nowhere to be seen.  However, it seems Logical to Hobson that she probably intended to meet them in the beer garden, so the two of you make your way there as inconspicuously as you can.  

As you sidle into the deep shade of the baobabbler tree it takes a moment for your eyes to adjust to the gloom, and for your ears to tune out the constant chattering of the tree.*  

"Hisst," says a low voice, just two tables over.  It's the ratling. "You are like sore thumbs, sticking out. Sit!"

*This, naturally, is a domestic baobabbler, and thus merely annoying.  The voice of the wild baobabbler is rumored to cause agonizing headaches, tympanal edema and contagious glossolalia.

The ratling regards Quazarn through rosy pink eyes.  Her thick Slavic accent tells you her forebears must have migrated to Vanth via a Roosky colony ship.

Buck shakes his head and spits out some blood.  "Wow..ugh...", his vision is a bit blurred and his breathing is bugging him.  "Damn...what was the number of that truck?!", he shouts to his comrades.  He takes off charging forward attempting to butt his head as solid into the wookie's gut as is possible to wind him.

Buck is first to clear his head, and he lunges at the wooky like a blitzing linebacker.  The wook takes a wild swing but it passes over Buck's head.  The spaceman's helmet and shoulder plow into his opponent's shaggy belly and the speared wooky goes down gasping.

[Feel free to elaborate on your knock out if you want, Rondo! The wooky's not dead or anything, but he's out of the Brawl for sure]

[Hopefully Wulfgar's about done with his move.  I'll probably post again tomorrow noonish.  Want to give Coffee a chance to respond to the wet hairball barrage.]

"Whew!  What a big galoot...guys, I ain't feelin' so hot...", Buck staggers over to Zarko and goes down on one knee..."Wow, that guy had a southpaw"....he leans next to Creature and slides down the wall a bit gazing around for some water.
