Ya man. I’ll guard these stairs.

Dimitri will take a glass of ice water and pretend to be enjoying the music alone while keeping an eye on both door 2 and 3. He’ll look around for an empty chair he can place next to him to be used as a tripping obstacle if needed.

Evening



Team in place Alphonse makes his move.

The space beyond Door 3 is a small foyer. Through an open door Alphonse can see into cardroom but not all the players. A bruiser in dark glasses blocks the doorway and glares Alphonse's way as he staggers into the room.

Staggering slightly and slurring "Don't worry I won't lose it all!"

"May I help you sir?"

[dongriffiths]

Straightening himself up and appraising the wall of muscle in front of him.

Speaking with a very slight slurring of his voice.

Ah my good man, I was directed over here so I could partake in some hands of cards. I hear you have the best tables around and really must try my skills

If it looks like he's not getting in Alphonse will try discretely passing the guy 20Cr "tip"

[Hvalreki]

The bouncer’s scowl turns into a smile as he pockets the note.

“Good luck at the tables” he says and moves aside so Alphonse can enter.

There are several nicely appointed tables with games underway but no song of their quarry.

There is another door on the far wall and as Alphonse enters he spots Fendon just as he lays down a winning hand and slides a good sized pile of chips towards

[dongriffiths]

Is there an open seat at Fendons' table?

If so Alphonse will sit down at the table "I hope some of your luck rubs off old chap"

If the table is full he'll spend the next few minutes scouting the games out looking like he's trying to decide which to join.

[Thumper]

Dmitri stands watch thinking:

“I sure hope nothing physical goes down inside the club. Rando won’t get his due if an altercation takes place in here. Club security then law enforcement will interfere.”

[Thumper]

Hmmm, nothing happening for a long while. Maybe we have a shot at taking this confrontation outside...

[BackworldTraveller]

Outside sounds good...I suspect that our friend will rabbit so outside may be where it's all at anyway!

[Thumper]

Or perhaps Alphonse should surveil Rando’s man, but the meet up should be outside where we can control things. Find him and trail him or set up for Rando’s discussion outside.

[dongriffiths]

Alphonse is keeping a close eye on his quarry without making direct contact. Waiting for him to leave.

Alphonse is keeping a close eye on his quarry without making direct contact. Waiting for him to leave.

As he slides the pot in front of him Fendon's eyes widen in recognition momentarily as he recognizes Alphonse.

"Ah, just so!" He stands and rushes over to greet Alphonse smiling and back slapping. When he's in full embrace he whispers in Alphonse's ear - "Help me, 20K" Then loudly to the room. A new player and former travelling companion Alphonse. Perhaps you will bring some better luck to my friends here. Please sit."

[dongriffiths]

Alphonse steps back slightly

Ah Fendon, glad to see you.

Whispering Are you mad, I can't afford that

Smiling I'd love to join, just give me moment to use the facilities

Alphonse makes his way to the lavatory to get himself under control.

He then returns to the table.

Unfortunately I didn't change a lot of my funds into local currency so I may need to nip out for a moment to change some in the unlikely event I lose a hand.

Evening


Alphonse washes his hands and heads back to the gaming room. As he enters, Fendon stands welcoming him back to the table and promptly bolts for door #2.

Initiative Check for Alphonse and the rest of the gang (each roll 1d6 and include with your next post.)

[dongriffiths]

Alphonse steps back into the room and his smile turns to anger as Fendon lunges for the door.

OH NO YOU DON'T! Get back her you miserable sack of shite!

Alphonse lurches after him making sure he won't catch up until they have both passed through door 2


Initiative roll

[BackworldTraveller]

Rando waits for Fendon to pass him heading for Dimitry - and rises to catch him in a pincer movement As his intention is to move last, the rolled initiative is somewhat irrelevant

Fendon - shall we take this outside? indicating door 1

[Thumper]

5

Upon seeing Fendon run out door 2, Dmitri will grasp the stool he’s been keeping open for this purpose. He’ll hurl the stool (oriented horizontally) at Fendon’s knees hoping to trip him and, just in case, he will step directly into Fendon’s path.

If successful in tripping Fendon, he’ll make it look like Fendon Stumbled into Dimitri, and Dimitri will wrap him up if standing or hold him if Fendon fell. .

If unsuccessful in the trip attempt, Dmitri will tackle Fendon and try to make it look like Fendon had plowed into Dimitri. Regardless of the appearance, Dimitri’s priority is to get Fendon wrapped up or tackled to the ground.

[1d6]=4 initiative

Upon seeing the action across the bar, Terry will run towards everybody else to help/block his way if Fendom makes a break towards him.

[Thumper]

Geez, Fendon sure moves slowly! Ha Ha

In case you need a couple attack rolls for the chair trip and tackle attempt.

Evening

Fendon narrowly avoids Dimitri's chair-fu, his eye's going wide in recognition of his recent travelling companions. "You've got to help me! They'll kill me, I'll pay you!" he yells as he recovers and resumes his scramble down the stairs towards the fire exit (Door #1)

Alphonse is in pursuit and not far behind him 2 of the players from the gaming tables have joined the chase.

Terry sees door 3 fly open and a wall of muscle charges through "Roger, in pursuit" he says into a throat mike as he makes his way across the bar.




Player Actions?

RANGE to Fendon
Dimitri-Short
Rando- Short
Alphonse-Short
Terry - Medium

[Thumper]

Impressed by Fendon's dodge of the chair and his tackle, Dimitri figures if out of the club is where Fendon, Dmitri is fine with that...so why get in the the way?

He keeps pace with him while making an appearance to grab for him and failing a couple times. We'll help you live a little longer, but you gotta get outside!
