Re: Statement 4: Lime Grove
Those of you who are skilled at reading a person's intent brace yourselves, for it is clear that the skinheads are about to charge.
However, their demeanour swiftly changes into puzzlement and fear when Leo casts his werelight.
"What the f*ck!?"
Illuminated by the eerie light of the spell, they fight among themselves as back away...
...only to rally.
"It's just a bleedin' torch!" one yells. "Get 'em!"
They surge forward, fists swinging!
Meanwhile, across the road at the van, Skipper finds said vehicle unlocked.
Inside, the seats and footwell are graced with empty crisp packets, sweet wrappers and takeaway containers. A SatNav is suckered onto the dashboard, next to which rests a crumpled copy of The Sun newspaper.
"Oi!"
Looking up, Skipper can see through the opposite van window as the skinhead he was talking to is clambering up the steps towards his colleagues, soon to be within striking distance of whoever's at the back - Des, I believe...

Leo, please make a DEX roll to see if you get to react before they reach you. Anyone up the steps who passed a read Person check and wishes to do something, forewarned is forearmed; you may also step up if you wish. Eli, thanks your Hard success (alas there's no such thing as an extreme result in RoL), you get a bonus die on your next roll. |

Re: Statement 4: Lime Grove
OOC: My plan was to pop the boosted Werelight like an old school flashbulb in their eyes and then kill it immediately so their eyes would take a moment to adjust. It's normal light again inside. I guess I should have been clearer with what I wanted to achieve. |

Re: Statement 4: Lime Grove
Oops, my bad, Jordan’s in front, so needs to make the DEX roll. |

Re: Statement 4: Lime Grove
Des, please make an Observation roll. |
Re: Statement 4: Lime Grove
Skipper sighed. Just when he's got into the van and it was getting interesting.
He straightened up, took a deep breath, and bellowed for all he was worth, "OY!! TEAM FOLLY YOU'VE GOT INCOMING!!"
Skipper paused to pull out the satnav (if he could), stuffed it in a jacket pocket then sprinted off after the skinhead van driver.

Re: Statement 4: Lime Grove
Des was oblivious to the skinhead approaching her from behind…
Re: Statement 4: Lime Grove
Up at the entrance of the flat, Jordan is too slow to anticipate the skindhead's incoming punch!
Further down the steps, Des is only alerted to the van driver's approach by Skipper's warning shout. Spinning round, she sees his calloused hand reaching for her...
The other thugs, crowded in the narrow hallway and blocked by their mate, shout words of encouragement. Their language is coarse and, alas, racist in character.

Okay, let's try to run some combat! Turn order is this: Skinhead 1 - attacking Jordan Skinhead 2 - grabbing Des Skinheads 3 - 6 Jordan Izzy Leo Eli Des Skipper Round 1 Skinhead 1 swings a punch at Jordan Hard success! Jordan, what's your response? You can dodge or run away, combat manoeuvre or fight back (any combat reaction can only be taken once per turn, unless you have Fast Reactions, in which case you can react twice). Either way, a Fighting roll is required. Skinhead 2 attempts to grab Des Regular success. Des, how do you react? (See above) |
What are the rest of you going to do? |

Re: Statement 4: Lime Grove
Alerted by Skipper’s warning cry, Des tried to jump out of the way of the grubby little skinhead who was trying to grab her…
Re: Statement 4: Lime Grove
Well, Izzy did have a Candano spell prepared, so she'll cast it on her turn, after Jordan acts, against the closest skinhead. She's also going to point out in no uncertain terms that she does have the power to arrest literally any and all of them, and she's not picky on who it is, but that will be as much a reminder to Leo as a warning to the thugs... |
Re: Statement 4: Lime Grove
"NONE SHALL PASS!" he bellows again as he lashes out at his attacker, though the strike fails to connect.
Jordan has the presence of mind to twist himself away from the powerful blow, which very nearly hits him. Doctor Who/CoC Campaign:

Re: Statement 4: Lime Grove
On Eli's turn, he would like to help Des against the skinhead.
Re: Statement 4: Lime Grove
The first skinhead's punch glances across Jordan's cheek. The blow might have hurt less burly folk, but Jordan is sturdy enough to take it.
Jordan retorts with a punch of his own; smartly delivered on the nose of his opponent. The blow is a hard one and the skinhead staggers back, falling unconscious into the arms of his stunned comrades!
Back at the bottom of the stairs, the van driver grabs Des, trying to pull her away so that he can get up to his mates.
Meanwhile, Izzy concentrates on her spell.
Eli turns and rushes down to Des.

Re: Statement 4: Lime Grove
Eli turns and attempts to help Des.
Hard Success! |
Re: Statement 4: Lime Grove
As the skinheads charge, Izzy focuses on the closest, and lets loose the Candano spell that she had prepared. Also known as the 'Tanglefoot', the idea was to trip up the front skinhead, and cause enough of an impediment (unable to escape thanks to magic), that the others would be unable to escape without tripping over their friend as well...
Magic: 60% |
Success! The spell works, and the target has an opportunity to make a Hard DEX or STR roll, whichever is higher, to escape, or else they are entangled by a magical bolo for 2 rounds. If they attempt to move when entangled, they will fall and become prone... |

Re: Statement 4: Lime Grove
”GET OFF ME!” shouted Des, as she was enveloped from behind, and she slammed her heavy Dr. Marten boot down her assailant’s shin and onto the top of his foot…
