As she is finshed, she points down towards Reivik and suddenly the dwarf begins to grow.  Despite his rapid growth, Reivik maintains his grip on his opponent, although his size makes it impossible for anyone else to join the grapple  (OOC: Balance check 19 + 6 = 25, success!  For the next 11 minutes Reivik is now Large.  His gains the following stat adjustments: Str +2, Dex -2, -1 AC, -1 attack rolls, 10 ft. reach).The mage once again tries to free himself from his opponent’s clutches, although this time it is much more difficult due to the dwarf’s increased size.  “Aaaargh,” he bellows, “unhand me you witless servants of a fallen house!”  Despite his protestations and his unnatural strength he is unable to regain his freedom.  (OOC:  Attempt to free himself 9 + 11 = 20 vs. (Reivik) 10 + 19 = 29, failure; 2nd attempt to free himself 10 + 11 = 22 vs. 10 + 19 = 29, failure).Eshanna moves closer to the scuffle in the street, intent on casting restorative magic on anyone who is in dire need.  (OOC: Double move).Seeing Reivik fail at his attempt to get a better grip on the magus, Anastasia decides to pick up where he left off.  She grabs the struggling man from behind putting him in a half-nelson and covers his mouth with her hand, preventing him from speaking.  “Enough of your babbling, murderer,” she yells out, holding him tightly.  She looks up at the guards, her dark eyes flashing, “Quick, did you not hear the dwarf, where are the shackles?”  (OOC: Pin attempt 12 + 14 = 26 vs. 9 + 11 = 20, success).Morley grins broadly at Latalya's magic. Something about giant dwarves always makes him smile.  Seeing the crowd around the crazed spellcaster Morley chooses to try and aid Reivik rather than join the grapple himself.  (OOC: Aid another 11 + 13 = 23 vs. AC 10, success; Reivik gains a +2 to his next attack or grapple check next round).The two Reddogs keep their distance checking the street for any other targets.  The street seems to be otherwise deserted, the windows on the houses shuttered.The grappling watchman takes advantage of the mage’s position, kicking him in the midsection.  His opponent grunts audibly despite the paladin’s muffled grip.  (OOC: Harm grappled opponent 19 + 4 = 23 vs. 5 + 11 = 16, success! Damage 1d3 + 2 = 3 subdual.)  The younger guard takes out a pair of manacles and binds the mage’s hands.  “There, that should do it you son of a bitch,” he curses.  (OOC: Guard makes touch attack to put shackles on 15 + 4 = 19, success.)OOC: The mage is still struggling, which is why I've posted the initiative for the next round below.Initiative Order:Reivik: 20George: 18Latalya: 17Crazed-looking man: 16Eshanna: 9Anastasia: 9Morley: 82 Reddogs: 62 City Watch: 2</blockquote>
