[QUOTE="Kobold Stew, post: 5004474, member: 23484"] The purple of the Emperor's flag shakes gently in the breeze. Staring from his grate behind the discarded buckets that have wet the fine gravel, Pirx had seen the attendants plant the three standards in the ground, but it was the purple one that caught his eye. He had watched them spread the gravel, but it was the purple that held his eye. It would be reckless, Pirx thought. I would be a fool, Pirx thought. But then he hears the roar of the crowd, and he thinks, I have a chance. Thousands of spectators, the Emperor's standard, and I have my hiding places. When he smells the dogs, he makes a run for it. Just on and off the field, taking the Emperor's banner with me. Simple, he thinks. Pirx, who had successfully evaded capture in the subbasements of the amphitheatre for so long, stepped into the light, its warm beams hitting his fur. Emerging from behind his grate, he runs. The pots clatter and for a few steps one of them finds itself attached to Pirx's feet. His comically loping gate lacks the grace that he's hoping for in this initial appearance, but he soon shakes it off. Another pot rests on his head, inverted, like some child's attempt to make a helmet to play soldier. This also spoils the effect he is going for. But there is the purple. And the dog packs and the three armored gladiators in the way. As he shakes away the pot from his foot, he rolls his neck and summons the armor he had once rescued from a halfling corpse. It is beaded, and has a floral emblem on it...not his style, but what are you going to do? His bow is in his hand, but Pirx has a goal, first. His eye is on the purple. He reaches the banner, and with his long fingers begins to undo the knot that attaches it [SIZE=1][COLOR=dimgray] OOC: I've taken you at your word and accepted that Pirx can hide anywhere. I've suggested that the discarded buckets, etc, are in front of one of the grates at E11. Move: E11 to K11 Minor: summon armor Action: Thievery against banner, to untie the knot or whatever is attaching it, so Pirx can run around holding the banner in his hand. [URL="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2328043/"] 1d20+14 = 19.[/url] If he can't make it that far, or if he needs more time, he can do an extra shift, or even make a nimble strike with the bow against some dogs and get a shift that way. In that case, he can make his thievery roll next turn. EDIT: Will use Goblin tactics, shifting around the banner, if attacked. [/COLOR][/size][COLOR=dimgray][/color] [/QUOTE]
