His footfalls created a slight vibration in the toys on the shelves, almost like a charging T-Rex.  As he charged Buzz Cut from behind, T-dawg swung a large meaty fist in a wide arc, connecting with Buzz Cut's head with an earsplitting crunch for 6 points of non-lethal damage.After pistol whipping J.R. on the ear a moment earlier, Buzz Cut flicked the gun back into position in his right hand and raised it.  Both J.R. and T-dawg see Buzz Cut take aim at J.R..  J.R. was the first to react, and made an attack of opportunity when he saw Buzz Cut start aiming.  <a href="http://orokos.com/roll/259131" target="_blank">J.R. hits AC 13</a>.  His punch swung wide and missed Buzz Cut.[sblock= Attack of Opportunity]J.R. has Combat Marital Arts, so his unarmed attack is considered armed.  Because of that, J.R. can make an AoO.  I checked T-dawg's sheet, and saw that T-dawg has Brawl.  Brawl, however, does not make T-dawg's unarmed attack count as "armed," so Buzz Cut does not incur an AoO from T-dawg.  I do not see anything on T-dawg's character sheet that would grant him an AoO using his fists.  Please let me know ASAP if I've overlooked something.[/sblock]Buzz Cut fired a round at J.R., <a href="http://orokos.com/roll/259160" target="_blank">hitting AC 22.</a>  The bullet ripped through J.R.'s left shoulder, shredding a hole in J.R.'s clothing, and <a href="http://orokos.com/roll/259164" target="_blank">dealing 6 points of damage.</a>  Immediately, a red flower blossomed on J.R.'s shoulder as blood started to flow freely from the wound.  Buzz Cut's upper lip curled into a how-do-you-like-me-now-bitch smirk.  Backing ten feet to the east away from J.R., Buzz Cut turned heel and strode down Aisle 3, out of sight.  He didn't particularly seem to be in a hurry.Several people in the crowd by the front door, however, screamed in terror when the gunshot echoed inside the store, and the panicked crowd went into overdrive, pushing harder against the fat Christian woman holding the large box just inside the entrance door.  The fat woman went down and disappeared under the weight of the crowd.  With the woman out of the way, the bottlenecked crowd burst through the front entrance and started stampeding out of the store.  The last few stragglers nearer the aisles hurried to the door and joined the crowd, leaving only J.R., T-dawg, Cyril, and Buzz Cut inside the store.Cyril cursed his luck. What did I ever do to deserve this? I mean, other than the obvious? Whipping his head back and forth, the former lawyer searched for some way out of the situation. The crowds had effectively blocked the obvious exits (for at least another round), and the loss prevention specialist was clearly of no help. Certainly isn't helping to prevent my loss, now is he?Hoping he might be able to hide himself in the crowd long enough for Buzz Cut to lose him, Cyril dashed to the very back of the crowd, where he started crying and whined, "Oh! My! God! He's coming. Push harder!"  Edging around the outside of the crowd, Cyril ducked down as if he had fallen then duck walked until he was out of the line of sight of Aisle 4. Popping up, he dashed to the far cash register and ducked down on the opposite side of it. He desperately looked around, where was a large box when you needed one?[sblock=Hiding Places]The woman's and the men's restrooms are fifteen feet away from the far cash register.  They look like they might be small, one-stall restrooms of the sort found in a gas station.  Both of them have a door that is presently closed.  Perhaps the door locks from the inside?  There is another room a bit further to the north, next to the men's room, but it's door is similarly closed.  Across from that room is a small goods counter where trading cards and other expensive small good are kept inside a locked glass case.  The counter is L-shaped.[/sblock]END OF COMBAT ROUND 4.  I HAVE ACTIONS FROM KIRAYA, J.R.<s>, AND T-DAWG</s> FOR ROUND 5, BUT YOU MAY RE-STATE YOUR DECLARED ACTION IF YOU LIKE.</blockquote>
