One Eye takes a moment to scan the perimeter. Since it's a multistory building, he's going to use a pair of binoculars (a scope, actually, since he's only got one eye) to check through any second-story windows and such.
Perception: 7 + 9 (Blue) - 3 (Orange) = 13
And then he remembers...
"Just keep the fog outside this time. Creating fog inside the warehouse would be more than a little on the obvious side, and these clowns probably know who you are from that last fight. Besides, if everything does go to hell, I'd like to be able to see enough to use the Python effectively...
"I don't much care for donuts myself. I'd go for a burger, but as it happens, we just trashed one of the only good burger joints in Wanchai."
One Eye heads out the door. He'll at least hear out Sun Jin's plan, and he hopes that it's a good one. He takes a note to park the car several blocks...
"Dennis, ninja-boy, and what's-her-face are more than welcome to do the whole disguise thing, but as for us two, we've got our own way of handling this."
Turning to Sun Jin, One Eye says, "Care to join me on a stakeout?"
The thought that the girl might be at the place these guys have mentioned is music to One Eye's ears. "All right -- where do you want us to go, and what can we reasonably expect once we get there?"
Turning his good eye toward the chicken near Dennis's feet, he adds, "And just what are we going...
One Eye doesn't like the way this conversation is going at all. Ninja Boy seems to think the samurai is hiding something through his denial of knowing that girl. Sun Jin just threatened to give him the scare of his life, and it's only logical that all this stress they're putting on him is...
What is your favorite way you've seen the bad guy die in a book or movie?
Funny, gruesome or otherwise memorable, I want to hear them.
As for mine:
Funny - the way the terrorist leader buys it in True Lies. Two words: "You're fired."
Gruesome - the "Kiss of the Dragon" delivered by Jet Li in...
"I believe he," One Eye said as he indicated Sun Jin with his thumb, "mentioned that once these guys get turned back into animals, they're stuck that way for good. It sucks, but that's the way it seems to work according to him."
"The reason we entered this temple with guns drawn was that we thought this was where these Architect pukes had taken that girl. Apparently, we were sadly mistaken.
"And you didn't answer my question from earlier, which I consider a fairly important one: why are you and the other factions...
"OK, I know the basics of this Feng Shui thing -- arrange furniture around to have your home in harmony with nature and have some good luck in the bargain -- but what I don't get is why the hell these people from the past and the future would jump into other people's times and fight over these...
Well, time to play along with these guys for now. I'm getting sick of this stand-off, and there's no sense in turning it into another bloodbath like that last case...
One Eye puts the Python back into his jacket, then turns his good eye toward Sun Jin. "Put the Glock away. Doesn't look like...
Ay...ubiquitous magic, how I loathe thee...
I'm mainly of the camp that says that if you're going to include magic items in your game, they need to be one-of-a-kind, and/or at least have a history that ties in with the world.
Who created the item? Why was the item created? Who were the people...
And now that we're talking about cliches, here's one I see a lot in action flicks.
A criminal or government agent wants out of the business. The boss hears about this and offers to let him quit if he performs one last job (one last heist, one last hit, one last sabotage run, you get the...
As well as Bad Boys and some other cop flicks I can mention.
If the bad guy rushes the maverick cop with his teeth bared, I think it would be a good time for the maverick cop to whip around and open up a can of unarmed whoopass on the bad guy and send him to the floor so his buddy can cuff him...
"Well, if you know so much about what the hell's going on, then answer me this -- who the hell are these 'architects' that lunatic was raving about at the restaurant? And for that matter, who the hell are you?"
OOC: If I'm allowed to conjecture OOC, it looks like we're dealing with either the...
One Eye levels a dark glare at Sun Jin with his good eye. "Shut up! I'm still pissed at you, for reasons I don't care to mention again, so you'd better thank whatever god or ancestor you worship that I left your role in this whole weirdness out!"
One Eye whips around and levels the Python at the guys that have just jumped out from nowhere, and then at the samurai dude that came into the temple.
"HOLD IT RIGHT THERE! I don't know who or what the hell you are, but you've caught me on a very bad day. A bunch of rejects from a bad sci-fi...
One Eye flashes his badge. "This is Detective Sammy Tsui. Come out with your hands where I can see them! We're not here to hurt you!"
If the guide (I'm assuming he's some kind of guide for the place who got freaked out because of the guns One Eye and Sun Jin have out) complies with One Eye's...
