István's AoO misses on a Natural 1;  Reave's melee touch hits AC 23; Reave's strength check beats István's 12.)The massive creature drew the gnome up to eye level -- István could make out two pairs of eyes glittering from within the recesses of his helm -- and spat."Leather-headed piker; it weren't you I was worried about."With his free hands, he pummeled the gnome in his grip.  (Reave deals 7 nonlethal damage before DRStatus:István:= 21 VP /12 WP, in grappleReave = Fighting Desperately, in grapple[/sblock]======================================="Unwelcome guests? Lilly echoed.  "Is it safe to stay here?  What if they come back?"Kalel and Dinah had been murmuring amongst themselves while Anthony turned to check on his tiefling friend.  After a few moments of close conversation, Kalel turned and strode purposefully out into the night.Dinah moved in turn to where Anthony and Lilly had been speaking.  "Things should be pretty calm for the rest of the night," Dinah said in reply to Lilly's question.  "Tony was able to work his trademark charm on those cross-traders.  The question is, what happens come morning?  Provided those Dogs aren't laisted by your prime friends, they're going to remember sooner or later that I lied to them about not knowing where you are.  If the primes do jangle 'em up, the ones left standing might come after Tony for revenge."  She gave a darkly ironic smile. "And that's all assuming that the primes don't come looking for you, Tony, for sending those Dogs their way."  She paused.  "Whatever this 'mask' is that the Black Dogs are looking for, they're going to be going for it with all that they've got -- especially if the baatezu've lit a fire underneath their bums.  "I'm thinking that, in the morning -- or even sooner -- maybe you should catch up to those primes you touted earlier today and...I don't know, maybe you can convince them to just let the Dogs have the mask.  The Dogs'll let everyone alone after that, I'm thinking.  The primes'll probably listen to you, Tony; you're probably the only cager they've met so far who hasn't tried to peel 'em yet."</blockquote>
