<span style="font-style: italic">Apologies for the late post; it'll have a bit more stuff in it to catch up a bit with the combat starting.</span><br/><br/>As the situation rapidly starts to devolve, Sevana takes a step forward, pulling up on the other side of Arcea as Yasha, her eyes flicking over the forces apparently arrayed against them.  While they certainly had a numerical advantage, they would be advancing into the guns (and presumably magic) of Yasha, Cassandra, and herself.  And once they got close, there would be Arcea waiting for them.  The addition of the cannon adds a serious complication, but all it really means is that the operators have made themselves priority targets above their kin.  Giving a sharp whistle, Ludwig comes barrelling out of the train and stops next to her, his fur bristling.<br/><br/>Arcea's bold challenge makes her break out into a wide smile, however.  Damn, but it felt good to work with people that actually had a spine again. "Well then, if everyone's putting their cards on the table, may as well follow up..."  Reaching down, she takes hold of her overlarge decorative belt buckle and hits several of the studs around it's perimeter, causing the center crystal to start glowing brightly.  A wash of energy pours forth, enveloping both her and Yasha<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Sevana will activate her belt (roll below), boosting her and Yasha's Shooting by one die step, which will cost four power points.</span><br/>[<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/346718">Weird Science</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">1d8, 1d6</span><span style="font-weight: bold">5</span>,<span style="font-weight: bold">2</span>-> Success ]<br/><br/>[<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/349833">Spirit (Intimidation resist)</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">2#1d6</span><span style="font-weight: bold">5</span><span style="font-weight: bold">4</span>-> Ties his roll, which I believe successfully resists? ]<br/><br/>The leader's assertion that they aren't just talking and his threat to 'clip her wings' doesn't get much more of a response from Sevana then rolled eyes at first, but as one of his subordinates fumbles what looked like some kind of explosive and Yasha drops one of his attendants soon after, she fixes him with an icy stare before her pistols suddenly snap up and blaze in his direction, punching a neat hole into the head of each of his hatchets.  "And you seem to have us confused with helpless, pampered city-folk who would actually be intimidated by a few harsh words.  Take your niece's advice while you still can - I won't be aiming for your little axes next time."<br/><br/><span style="font-style: italic">Fluffed the description a bit for the Intimidation ace on top of Yasha's bonus; if I went too far, just let me know.</span><br/>[<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/346665">Intimidate (Normal and Wild)</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">2#1d6</span><span style="font-weight: bold">1</span><span style="font-weight: bold">6</span>-> Ace ]<br/>[<a class="postlink" href="http://orokos.com/roll/346666">Intimidate Ace</a>:<span style="text-decoration: underline">1d6</span><span style="font-weight: bold">3</span>-> Total of 11 with the bonus from Yasha's shot ]
