[QUOTE="darkbard, post: 9264643, member: 1282"] [I][B]PA'AVU[/B] may be large, but she is deceptively quick for a being so massive. With reflexes honed in games of stoneball with other Goliath youths before her captivity (and innumerable duels and battles with blade in hand since), she launches herself over the railing and intercedes her body between the hurtling torso of the slain and the stunned onlookers, soaring almost like a great bird through the air. Reaching out with one massive mitt, she grabs the tumbling object by a forearm before it can strike anyone. (4) But there is only so much even an athlete of her prowess can do. In thick, heavy spurts still blasted out by an adrenaline-fueled heart, severed arteries splatter drops of blood that threaten to befoul the young boy and his father, potentially undoing whatever Golden Lesson was learned on this day. But the drops suddenly slow and halt their advance upon the duo, hovering like shimmering jewels in the air. One of the Bladelings reaches out a finger and pokes the carmine sphere, which recoils, then rebounds from the touch like a jelly at some pampered merchant's feast. All at once, the frozen droplets collapse and splatter harmlessly against the cold stone of the stadium floor. Above, [B]CHANVATI [/B]releases the two fingers he holds from his temple and exhales. (3)[/I] [HR][/HR] Pa'avu uses Crane's Wings [Movement Technique} for a +5 power bonus to her interceding jump down, Primary Skill Athletics check (powerful athlete=roll twice), r15, 8 = 15+16+5=36 vs 29 Hard DC. Success vs (4). Chanvati uses Primary Skill Arcana to telekinetically freeze the splatter of blood in time and space and stop them from befouling the young boy and his father, r9+16=25 vs 20 Moderate DC. Success vs (3). We're happy to proceed against either/both of your (1) and (2) above, but perhaps here is an opportunity for Chanvati to read the Bladeling foot soldiers for their reactions to the wanton display of bloodlust and narcissistic glory-seeking. That said, perhaps there is no drama, nothing truly at stake in making such a check here (without some attendant fiction)? [/QUOTE]
