He raised his hand to ward the blow and stepped back.He took a quick glance at the crystal rifle to be sure it was ready to shoot.  With a flourish, he whipped the rifle around in a dazzling display of parade drill, then quick as a blink he raised it to his shoulder and fired, aiming at the arm of the goon holding the hapless skreet.Sleight of hand for the parade drill:  1d20+9+1d6(AP)=<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=601620" target="_blank">26</a> To hit: 1d20+7+1d6(AP)=<a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=601621" target="_blank">22</a> Bill lowered the rifle and turned back to Janatoss."You want me to shoot sli'ess, just give me the rifle and line 'em up.  But I ain't shooting nothing that can't shoot back, and I sure as hell ain't shooting something that hates them scaly bastards as much as I do.""I'll help you, I'll fight for you, and I can tell you things that'll turn those bastards against each other and bring their whole little empire down around there ears.  Deal?"Bluff:  1d20+9+1d6(AP) = <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/find.py?id=601624" target="_blank">29</a> Edit:  forgot action dice for SoH and Bluff were doubled.  Add 4 to the SoH, and 1 to the bluff if it matters.Another edit:  I'm thinking that was probably more 'Intimidate' than 'Bluff' but the result would be the same minus the '1' on the doubled action die.[/sblock]</blockquote>
