[QUOTE="Lanefan, post: 7164192, member: 29398"] [COLOR="#008000"]Albert acted first, by doing nothing. He'd had it drilled into him ever since forever that when fighting an outnumbered for you always let an ally strike first as a distraction; then you move in for the kill. So he pretended to fumble for his weapon... Tasha, not normally the fastest of types, acted next and obliged by swinging her halberd in Ming's general direction...only Ming wasn't there any more; she had dodged incredibly fast to her left...and right on to Albert's waiting dagger. Albert, scarcely able to believe his luck, twisted the dagger just enough to get a grunt from Ming before - wounded - she rolled away. And then Ming opened up with everything she had, and she had a lot. A twisting possibly-wire-aided leap later, one stiletto heel went into Albert's face and the other rang off Tasha's helmet while one of the knitting needles tinked off Tippy's armour and the other stapled Macfeece's right hand to his side. Long dark hair now flying free and deadly hands ready, she looked at Johnny: "I've beaten you every other time we've fought, you sure you want to try again?" And Johnny wasn't sure, so bang went his action for this round while he thought about it. Macfeece spent his round unclipping his hand from his side and trying not to pass out from the pain; he managed only to extract the knitting needle, drop it at his feet, and step on it. Meanwhile a thud nearby signalled Albert's withdrawal from proceedings as the heel kick had rendered him unconscious. And Tippy, late to the party as usual, stepped up to Ming and swung his gauntleted fist at her. She did not expect this at all - usually these clunky suits of armour go for weapons - and was sent reeling by the blow. And sometime during all this the seventh person on this beach - who everyone could agree was a female Hobbit but all knowledge ended there - vanished completely. Next round........[/COLOR] [COLOR="#00FF00"]Tippy (Theodore Ignatius Phillpot Price; Cleric-1; Hammer & Boomerang) - full h.p.[/COLOR] [COLOR="#FF0000"]Macfeece (Wizard-1; books) - 1 h.p. Albert (Thief-1; a few coins) - 0 h.p., unconscious[/COLOR] [COLOR="#00FF00"]Tasha (Half-Orc/Half-Orc Fighter-1; Halberd of Dragon Summoning & Sling) - full h.p.[/COLOR] [COLOR="#00FF00"]Johnny (Fighter-3; no gear at all) - full h.p.[/COLOR] [COLOR="#FF0000"]Ming Vahz (Monk-8) - 18 h.p. left out of 34 full[/COLOR] [COLOR="#40E0D0"]???
