Trix ducks past Brutis and behind the vendor's stall. She gestures to the vendor to get down, then says to him/her: "Guys with guns out over there. Mind if I duck down here out of the way?" She takes the opportunity to check out the heating system on his cart. Liquid fuel, compressed gas...

Slyth engages his business sense again after the temporary aberration caused by his one unbreakable outstanding debt being called in. So the Red Star is indeed due to rise soon. And the temples hadn't called it yet. That was information, valuable information. Marketed correctly, he could make a...

Shall we continue?

As a teacher, I second that. School's out. Yay!

I figure that once the GM calls for you to make a roll for initiative, you _know_ that something is up, and metagaming is no longer an issue. Something has obviously put you on edge, you're looking for what it is, and that gives you an edge on the slower-reacting opponent. They are reacting to...

Can't you make your action a "hold until" type action, where you know that something is going to happen and you try to preempt it? Not sure how the rules work on that. If so, I guess you'd say what you're looking at/for, and wait for an opportunity to get the jump on the bad guy. :-)

Trix keeps fiddling with the "meat" stick as she assesses the incoming threat. "Brutis... heads up."

I'm not so pleased with mine, but, on the other hand, I'm a blacksmith, not a combat specialist. And, in-character, it might spur him on to becoming more proficient with weapons. Or even getting a decent weapon! Perhaps the combat will draw them back, like moths to a flame...

Roy can hear the sellsword saying something behind him, but somehow the words make no sense to him as he focuses on the oncoming clansmen. Somehow, the situation almost reminds him of a tavern brawl he was involved in once, back at the mines. Then, all he had was fists and clothes. And no pants...

Slyth relaxes at her words, then grins. "Oh, my cover is already in place. I am a fixer, a facilitator, an acquirer of difficult-to-get items. That is what all of this is - part of a cover I can use without fear of compromise - because it is real. If it is not as urgent as I assumed it would be...

I'll skip SW:TOR. EQ2 is good enough for me as a time-waster, SW:TOR would just be over-the-top. :-)

Greetings 'syph. Welcome to our nightmare! (of course, the nightmare which is our universe has a lot of really fun elements in it, so is that really a nightmare?)

Been waiting for a bit myself. Something will happen soon, I'm sure.

Slyth puts his his hands to his head, and slowly massages his temples. "Oh snake-molt! The Crusade. I should have known." He looks around the room. "Okay, throne is out. Tapestry too. The rugs are goners. The jewelry's all genuine, just worn out - I can take that. Weapons... damn." He stands...

My thinking is that Slyth is very much based in the city. If he has to leave, he's going to have to leave almost everything behind, so whatever he has won't be worth much in terms of convertible value. He has a lot of stuff - but it's not portable, and therefore not really usable. He has...

The small entranceway is cramped and dingy, with a boards nailed to the wall to make a makeshift shoe shelf. There are two pairs of slippers on it. Slyth puts the padlock from the outside onto the inside of the door. It's obvious that security is just as much of a problem with the inhabitants at...

Trix takes it back, smiling, and goes to put it back in her bag. She stops, looks at the empty stick that had held the meat, and changes her mind. She impales the ball on her stick, and starts shaping it until it resembles the meat that the stick had once held. "Hmmm, color. And sauce. Must get...

[with a perception of 41, that'd be a fail...]

Slyth kept the smile on his face, even though he wanted to sigh. Home. Bad. That meant that it was a lot more than just a simple deed to free himself of obligation. Home meant a lot of talking without being overheard. While not a fan of pain, he wished she'd chosen the second option. He waved to...

Slyth stands. "Come, my lady, please be seated." He gestures to the seat opposite him. After she sits, he leans forward with a smile on his face. "We're probably being watched, so please avoid any unnecessary displays. Tell me why you're here, and what you want. Then, depending how you want to...
