*Zykovian moves back and tries the door, but it is locked--it must automatically lock when closed. He fires again at Ayame and again he nearly strikes a telling blow, but she dodges aside at the last second, still taking a nasty hit to the chest.*
*Ayame glances to Sasuke and says something in Larakese, to which he nods.*
*Sasuke moves over to Zykovian and grabs him.*
*Ayame shakes her head:*
"Fool. As I said, no one died. It was a test to make sure I didn't have to kill Sasuke. Fortunately, he proved himself to be loyal to his responsibilities, and he has done very well. You, on the other hand, are a fool to have refused the offer of surrender. Rather than your life being the default, now you will live only if our client chooses to spare you. Your life is in her hands."
*Ayame makes a quick strike at Zykovian that is able to land thanks to the Altanian's being unable to defend himself in the grapple with Sasuke.*
(OOC: Zykovian's Attack 20 + 7 = 27,
another! Critical Threat (though 14 + 7 = 21 fails to confirm by 1!)
Ayame takes 12 more Damage, total 21.
Wow, she would have been screwed if Zykovian had one more +1 to hit in there somewhere. I believe that crit would have put her at dying and a few hp shy of dead.
Sasuke's Touch Attack 3 + 9 = 12, Hit.
Sasuke's Grapple vs Zykovian 14 + 10 = 24 vs 17 + 3 = 20, Success.
Zykovian is Grappled and takes 8 nonlethal damage due to the successful grapple
Ayame's Attack 5 + 12 = 17 Hits (due to flat-footedness from grappling)
Zykovian takes 13 nonlethal damage, total 21
Zykovian's turn.)
