(2)His voice trails off as Pa'avu directs her attention, and presence, to the matters in the stands (perhaps Chanvati turns to the steward and raises a "just a moment" gesture before quickly following Pa'avu?).<Cut to the stands>Palpable tension hangs suspended in the air for a few moments before the will of the Bladelings breaks like a crystalline goblet freshly fallen from a table.  No words are exchanged.  Only the signal of furrowed brows now softened, and too-relaxed bodies now stiffened as Pa'avu's harsh words and imposing presence sober up the trio.Down they tread to the boy and his father.  They muster a formal address that explains to the boy that his father possesses both courage to come here at all but also sound judgement to not engage with the pathetic chiding of drunken soldiers.  Let this be a lesson in strength for the small boy.  The lead bladeling gifts the father a pauldron signifying a station that will rebuff any further harassment like this; "Legion-friend."An enraged shout from below."REMOVE YOURSELF FROM THE SPECTACLE OF MY GLORY!  ALL PRESENT MUST HAVE UNOBSTRUCTED VANTAGE!"On the arena floor, Gormandt eviscerates a foe and heaves the torso like a child hefts the lightest boomerang.  It spins sidelong, threatening to spill gore and a trail of blood on the boy and his father (3)...while violently striking the back of the Bladeling leader who is issuing the apology and obstructing their vision to the Gormandt's brutality (4).[HR][/HR]Do you intercede physically or with arcana to protect the Bladeling leader from the impact of the torso or do you let this play out (4)? HARD DC.Do you intercede physically or with arcana to protect the boy and his father from the blood and gore or do you let this play out (3)?  HARD DC (or MEDIUM if you protect the Bladeling leader and are successful...you can proceed directly to this move upon success).Do you take the measure of Gae'lal' immediately after the successful resolution of the bullying episode (1)?  MEDIUM DC.  Failure here = move forward to another move but take -2 forward as the steward will supersede her authority and issue a situation-complicating protest.Is it straight back to the Steward for parlay/consort and let 3 and 4 above play out? MEDIUM DC on your first question/move.</blockquote>
