Mirth

Explorer
Fearing that there are too many guns in such a small area, Jack holsters the Browning, grabs his brass knucks from his pocket and makes a run for the diamond. When the mirror shatters as he runs behind the bar, Jack realizes he made the right decision.

Ducking as John's stray shot shatters the mirror, Eddie decides it may be time to take a little cover and ducks down behind the bar with Jimmy. "Too many bullet flyin' around here, kid. Hand me one of those bottles, will ya?"

Eddie picks up a large-ish piece of the shattered mirror and holds it out so that he can see the foray from behind the bar. He studies the group of strangers individually for a moment each, studying their actions while they think no one is watching, trying to make out whether they're harmless or part of the stage.

Blackrat

He Who Lurks Beyond The Veil
John continues to fire, shattering the wall-sized mirror behind the counter. Elizabeth calmly shoots again, aiming for the red-eyed hand, knowing he's by far the most dangerous one in the melee, her own gun training coming into the fore. Her aim is true but some sort of red energy-field flashes on the impact and the bullet ricochets to the floor between The Hand and Mickey.

Eddie ducks behind the counter pulling Jimmy with him, picks a piece of the shattered mirror and surveys the bar from safety. The neat in the corner man doesn't seem to really care about bullets flying around. He just sits on his stool and looks at the conflict in amusement. Both the bald guy with his moll and the young couple seem harmless, taken cover behind their tables. The lady in red however is calmly kneeling behind her table and has drawn a small revolrer from somewhere. The big man seems confused but has drawn his gun also.

The italian hits Lotka in the face with the handle of his gun taking a fist to the guts in return. (technically unarmed attack and I rolled you the attack of opportunity). Lotka hooks his feet behind the mans leg who returns with a backlash of the gun again, but without succes. He falls to his back.

Mickey manages to catch the diamond rolling on the floor, only to turn just in time to see the sword of The Hand plunging towards his side. His reflexes prove good as he manages to slide from the way only taking another small scratch and ripping his shirt this time. Jack comes to the same fray ready to hit The Hand with his brass.

Jimmy is mesmerized by all this and just follows Eddies command, picks a whiskeybottle from the bar and hands it to Eddie. The big guy decides to follow the two to behind the counter. He is holding a luger ready but doesn't seem to do nothing but watch. The lady in red tips a table down and kneels behind it. She is holding a small revolrer and shoots at the big man, her aim true, plucking a hole to the mans shoulder (crit hit, does Wound Point damage). The man starts bleeding bad.

"Holy Jesus! Is everybody in here packing heat?" Eddie says to no one in particular as he sees the lady in red and Big Guy both draw their weapons. "Ready Jimmy, he's coming this way!"

Eddie finally draws his pistol as well; seems to be the thing to do. "What tha!" he gasps when Big Guy falls behind the bar. While the guy's concentrated on his would, Eddie will try to jer his gun away while stuffing his own in Big Guy's face.

"I know you're hurt, but why don't you give me the low down here, huh? Who're you for?"
