I think you know this in character right?)<does something else if she likes>Celerity won't matter since you're already first.<<Archer and the foes would go next but I'm allowing Cole to preempt.{edit=see OOC post for discussion of why}>>[/sblock][/sblock]Almost in unison the three men reach up and tap buttons on their lapels.It's hard to differentiate their voices.Five.One female.Guns.The Hispanic reaches out wrapping his hands around Diego's throat. The other two surge forward toward Cole and Archer.Cole's timing is impeccable, the lull right before the men would get to them, he <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1497278/" target="_blank">even manages to get the attention of the goon holding Diego</a>.The goon doesn't let go of Diego but he does stop throttling the thief to look at Cole.The black and white stop before Cole and Archer respectively.Curly. snarls the white one starting toward Archer again.Not Curly says the black one.Kill Curly says the white one.No. Not Curly. says the black one.The white regards Archer with miserable hostility but stays where he is.The Black one considers for a moment then steps aside Leave.The Hispanic releases Diego.[sblock=Dominate]Dominate one is Command. One word instruction... Gentlemen isn't a word.Trying to speak to people who were trying to speak to you isn't so out of character as to require a check. And you only have a one die intimidate pool so it wasn't a gimmee.I think holding somebody fast with your gaze is another power? (Glamour sounds like a changeling power...)Basically Cole's natural brashness and luck got him the effect he was looking for. Not supernatural powers.[sblock=Dominating these guys ]They're fully conditioned (a level 4 dominate power), I think that puts you at -5 to try to affect them. With a mesmerize pool of 5 that's just a chance die.[/sblock][/sblock]Trying to touch their minds is strenuous. Cole <a href="http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/1497419/" target="_blank">can't seem to make headway in mesmerizing the first ghoul</a>. The others two ghouls stare hostilely at him as he speaks.</blockquote>
