[QUOTE="Qik, post: 5756663, member: 6673727"] Fortunately for Fury, his ability to infer the outcome of his acrobatics ability is less than his acrobatics ability itself. As he closes in on the rapidly-approaching edge of the opposite side of the canal, Fury desperately stretches out his right leg; he's rewarded with the comforting feeling of solidity as his foot makes contact with the ledge. Tucking forward expertly, he is able to roll onto the platform just beside the prone form of the young bravo, who has now gone silent, although whether due to shock at Fury's ability to make such a leap (and a second time, no less), fear at his joining the now-helpless young man's side of the canal, or a mixture of both, is yet to be ascertained. As Fury picks himself up off the ground, his already-injured body none the worse for wear due to either the chase or the leaps, the young man opens his mouth as if to speak, then, perhaps thinking better of it, shuts it again, instead meeting the man who provided a decidedly grim twist to his evening with silence. [sblock=OOC]No worries; I appreciate you getting a post in. [I]Just[/I] made it (DC was 27), so kudos to your dice-rolling abilities (it certainly provides some justification for all the resources you've devoted to Fury's acrobatics skill ;)). Both the chase and the leap itself were each CR 1 skill challenges, so that's a net total of 800 XP (apparently when the XP comes, it comes in bunches...). The YB is for all intents and purposes incapacitated, so feel free to take your time with him. He still has his weapon, of course, but it's sheathed, so he's not in a position to threaten Fury, especially since Fury still has his weapon drawn.[/sblock] [/QUOTE]
