As the others deal with the Lady in Red, Jack keeps his eyes on the rest of the crowd, making sure this confrontation is not a diversionary tactic. Without keeping his attention on her, Jack says to the Lady in Red, "Listen, sister. You're outnumbered. This crackpot here," Jack kicks Red Eyes'...

Jack looks over the assembled crowd, his attention finally resting on the bartender. "Sir, please go and fetch the captain, or the purser, or whomever can help us. We'll need medical personnel also." "The rest of you, have a seat," Jack motions towards the chairs in the southwest corner of the...

Disgusted at the racial slur, Jack snaps back, "Nothing that can't wait for a more private setting" He glances then at the man and adds, "Let's see some ID, bucko."

Jack wastes no time during the pause in the action and searches the body of Red Eyes. Reminder that I have the FIND CLUES feat, plus I had him as my Shadow Hunter target (dangit).

Bingo. Jack makes his way across the room in time to see Red Eyes try to pin down Irish like a stuck pig. He clenchs his teeth and makes a beeline for Red Eyes' jaw with his right hammer. 1d20+8=27, 1d4+4=7 Attack: 1d20 +4 [base] +3 [strength] +1 [weapon focus [unarmed strike]] = 27...

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.

Retconned above :)

Edit: Jack brings his Browning to bear on Red Eyes, but the shot pulls to the right when Jack makes a slight adjustment so that he doesn't hit one of the others. 1d20=7 7 + 6 + 1 (Shadow Hunter target bonus) = 14 Original Post (for posterity) -- When Crocodile Cane turns into Crocodile...

Jack watches the (non)reaction of the Neat man at the bar to the Italian's outburst with some suspicion, but forgets about that when Crocodile Cane enters. He immediately gets a bad feeling about the Russian and his hand instinctively goes to his Browning. Once Croc's eyes glow red, Jack knows...

Jack orders a tonic water, moves back to a shadowy corner and watches the action, keeping a wary eye on the big brooding man. He checks for the pair of brass knuckles in his pocket, making sure they're ready at hand. Been swamped at work. Will update RG asap.

"I don't think it's wise for any of us to go off on our own, Dr. Kirdov" Jack says in response. "Perhaps we should split up in pairs. I'd be glad to accompany you, Doctor."

"Well, it's never a boring evening at the Nightshade's, eh?" Jack says, watching the back and forth like a really bad tennis match. "I think we all need to focus more on what brought us together ... Alexei. His work should not die with him and the "universe" seems to agree," Jack looks at Phaere...

"Lieutenant Colonel, actually," Jack says flatly. "Knee's better, as I'm sure you already know. Your beard's new, covers the chin quite well." After he offers drinks, Jack replies somewhat hastily, "We're not here to socialize, Ph ... uh, Mr. Nightshade. We've got the death of Dr. Alexei...

"Bonjour, Phillipe. Comment ca va?" Jack says with a small note of familiarity and adds his jacket to the lot. When the butler maintains his icy stare, Jack just lowers his eyes and moves along with the others.

Jack looks over the FBI credentials and starts to respond, when Tall & Neat gives up the goods, so he pockets the fake ID. He nods in agreement to the princess' assesment of the situation and when the thug is finished spilling the beans, he says to the group, "No time like the present to get...

Sounds good. Have fun!

"Actually, you're up for murder, boyo," Jack says, leaning down and putting his face dead center of Tall & Neat's vision, "so the only thing you've got to decide is whether you want your neck stretched or you want do a stretch in the pen. Now answer the lady's questions."

"Doctor, you might want to look this over and see if there's anything we need to know in it," Jack says and hands over Ivanov's journal. "Feel free to copy from it, examine it in depth and so on, but remember it's government property, so I'll need it back eventually."

In that case... Jack then turns to the Princess, "After we shake down this goon, we better make that diversion to see your father ... it seems the Doompriests are involved."

Jack pockets the journal and the ticket and then turns to the smokestack, "Eddie, right? Look, before I share this," he holds out the note and the letter, "I've got to have your word that you won't print anything until it's done. Agreed?" Assuming Eddie says yes, Jack hands him the papers...
