SX:2 The Antiques Roadshow (Keia judging)-Completed

[El Jefe]

[sblock=Lord Brixton's mansion]

Both corpses continue to stride towards the two men closing to within twenty feet when Avatar's shot rings out. Shockingly, the shot goes wide of its target, burying itsef in the wall behind the walking dead. Sergeant brings his pistol to bear, htiing the lead corpse in the shoulder. The corpses charge the two adventurers, and will close for melee soon.

Avatar scowled underneath his mask as the shot went wide. A clumsy miss like that would have gotten him killed back in Syria! Seeing Sergeant stand his ground, Avatar decided to do likewise, and not knowing how strong the zombies were, he decided to stick with his gun and shoot it out at point-blank range.

"That was too fancy", he thought to himself. "That's why you missed...just stick with the basics."[sblock=OoC: ]

OOC: Corpse 1 is bruised. Both corpses will close for melee attacks next round.

Avatar will continue to Power Attack, but only for +3/-3 next round (+8 to Attack, DC 22 damage). If he's disarmed, he's going for the whip.[/sblock]

OOC: Wanted to remind everyone that I will be out of town for a week started this wednesday. Weather is threatening my fishing/sea kayaking plans.

Good luck with the weather![/sblock]

"Zombie now..." Sergeant shoot again at the wounded corpse, power attacking at +4/-4 (Rubber bullet have effect on them?)

[sblock]Both men hit their targets as the undead run towards them. The zombies continue with their momentum. The one nearest Avatar hits him on the outstretched wrist, causing him to drop the weapon. Sergeant manages to retain his weapon as his combatant attempts a similar maneuver. [/sblock]

The one nearest Avatar hits him on the outstretched wrist, causing him to drop the weapon.

"Mmmpf", grunted Avatar as the disgusting creature knocked the weapon from his grasp. Twisting this way and that to avoid the thing's attacks, he retrieved his weapon and fired again.[sblock=OoC: ]...and that assumes that the gun lands in Avatar's square, or an adjacent (5' move) square that is not occupied by a zombie. Should be a Move action to pick up the gun, and a Standard action to shoot again. Avatar will Power Attack at +2/-2 this time (+9 to attack, DC 21 damage). If the gun is more than 5' away, Avatar will draw his whip (free action) and use his All-Out Attack feat at +5/-5 to attack at +12 with a +10 defense (instead of his usual +15 defense). Instead of doing damage, Avatar will use the Improved Trip feature of the whip to try to knock the zombie off his feet. But the whole whip thing comes into play only if Avatar has to take a move action to get his gun back.[/sblock][/sblock]

[sblock=Auction house] Psyren lets her thoughts project into Paladin's head, 'If you can get her to find out herself, she might be willing to talk over dinner. Use my bait, k?'

"Tis shame we must do such things. Paladin was looking for quiet evening dinner, but now we need deal with lawyers and such." She sighs. "Paladin, you find out what we need, I start calling rep, k? Pleasure to meet you Ms Green."

Psyren nods to the two and steps just out the doorway, so she can still hear the two, but is not seen (IE, still in mental range).

'If she act more willing to help, set up dinner at Rose Garden. I out in hall.'[/sblock]

[sblock=Auction House]Paladin pushes his thoughts back towards Psyren- 'I cannot do such a thing, Lady Psyren. It is against my code of Honor to use a woman's affections in such a way just to gain an advantage. I am most sorry, but we will have to find another way.'

Standing and reaching out a hand towards Ms. Green, Paladin takes her hand in his before speaking, "Milady Green, whilst it is truth that a quiet dinner would undoubtedly be a welcome and pleasurable experience, I am afraid that our current circumstances will not allow me such a boon. I thank you most graciously for your time and effort on our behalf and only wish that the delays of magistrates and lawyers will not prove detrimental to the heath of the individual whose privacy is being 'protected'. But if you are unable to assist us and there is no other who may or will, I must beg your leave to make haste away from here. I only pray that we shall not be too late." With that, he brushes his lips gently on her knuckles before opening his eyes and staring up at her, "By your leave, milady?"

OOC: Don't know if I need a new Diplomacy check or not, so I rolled another just in case.
Diplomacy=34[/sblock]

[SBLOCK=At the Mansion]Sergeant will try to grapple the zombie who is on him, and once he has grapple it, he will try to put the zombie's hand behind the undead back and use his handcuff to prevent him to do more harm. To note, I have Improved Pin feat.[/SBLOCK]

"Dinner!? That's quite presumptuous of you. Since you've been so chivalrous I'll try to look into who purchased the artifact. I honestly don't know who bought it. Check back in an hour or two and I'll share what I have, handsome.", Miss Green purrs. [/sblock]

OOC: I'll have to pick up your encounter when I get back. It's getting late and I need to pack [/sblock]

OOC: I'll be back next Wednesday. Until then everyone have fun.

 

[Phoenix8008]

OOC: Just *bump*ing this back up since it's a couple days past wednesday. I'm still here, anyone else?

 

[Velmont]

[SBLOCK]Always here, waiting for me to get killed![/SBLOCK]
