Ren orders, almost casually.  Glancing quickly to his men, Ren obviously realizes he's in danger of losing control of the moment.  He growls "Screw you, you pastyfaced corpse!" and moves to attack Dengar!  Somewhat less eagerly, the other four muggers follow him...((Intimidate checks: Ren 19; Dengar 5+7=12; Lehko 13+7=20.))((Initiative: Heirmund/14; Jair/14; Ren/12; Ydyr/10; Dengar/10; Lehko/7; Muggers/6; Jerek/4.))((Everyone gets full round actions because no one was the least bit surprised.  Heirmund will spend this round's action moving to the scene, to end up ten feet behind Lehko.))</blockquote>
