There's do-in's a-transpirin' on the docks!
Ranti pulls out and polishes his badge, making not-so-subtle gestures towards his sharp, shiny longsword. To this, the ruffians cast nervous looks at each other, but the leader, while obviously impressed with the badge, manages to remain calm and composed. He takes the tiniest of steps back but crosses his arms defiantly as Ranti begins to speak.
"My my my, you-"
WHAMMO!!!!
Like a lightning bolt, Desert's fist comes flying out of nowhere, smashing in the face of the ruffian's leader, sending him flying back a ways and would have knocked him down if it hadn't have been for a nearby crate. The look of STUNned (see what I did there) surprise on the leader's face is further augmented by the conspicuous absence of his two front teeth.
"Awww, you've gone and done it now, boyo," one of the larger and stinkier ruffians says. "Nobody messes with Dockside Dan!"
As if on cue, the ruffians all pull out well-worn belaying pins and start advancing on you, snapping their fingers in unison for some strange reason. They leave their leader where he stands, unable to move.
Acting quickly, K steps back and motions Richard forward to attack. She chants a string of arcane words, and the unseen power is palpable as the leader suddenly screams out, "AIIGGHH!! I CAN'T SEE!!!"
Richard steps forward with surprising speed and, drawing a finely crafted hand-and-a-half sword from beneath his cloak, calmly and quickly buries the business end of it in the closest villian (2), who doesn't seem to like that at all. He screams in pain, but still takes a swing at Richard which lands squarely with a thud, but Richard only barely reacts.
Ranti quickly draws that very nice, very sharp longsword of his and, amazingly enough, pulls his rather fashionable bandana down over his eyes. Brandishing it with a flair (of course), he executes a rather deft lunge to his left, surprising (yet relieving) the brigand directly in front of him (4), as well as surprising (yet stabbing) the brigand that already had a sword in him (2). He seems to like this sword only half as much as the other, and screams even louder, but a little more gurgly this time.
Dockside Dan continues to stand, leaning wearily up against the crate, looking around yet unable to see anything.
The shortest and fattest of the dockside ruffians (5) steps forward a bit and takes a swipe at Richard, but his feeble attempt glances off the warrior's armored frame.
Desert, intently watching the others engage in battle, figures he ought to, too, and follows suit. He unleashes a blinding flurry of hands, feet, elbows, and knees, all but one of which connect with the tough in front of him (3). The would-be assailant drops his makeshift club and falls to his knees, but seems to have caught himself at the last minute.
Another thug (4) takes a swipe at Ranti, but the agile elf ducks and weaves out of the way with ease, despite the blindfold.
The thug on his knees gropes feebly on the ground for his belaying pin. He picks it up, but his grip is tenuous at best.

OOC: Here's the scene at the beginning of the next round. Please excuse the crudeness of this map, but Dunjinni's on my home pc.

Richard takes 2 points of damage.
Actions for the next round?
Just another quick reminder, I'll be offline from this Saturday to the next Sunday. I might be able to post, but don't count on it. I'll pick things back up when I return.
