Dagnyr launches himself forward in pursuit of the man, the gnoll's long, powerful legs carrying his across the ground quickly. Unfortunately the man was<span style="font-style: italic">fast</span>and the crowds were thick, preventing Dagnyr from getting into a flat out run as he had to dodge and weave between the gathered citizens. A flicker of annoyance passes through him as he rushes past the elven woman who had been at the man's side earlier. If only she'd grabbed him this would be so much easier!<br/><br/>But he knew that wasn't really fair. She seemed to be an innocent bystander and he could hardly expect a bystander to apprehend potentially dangerous criminals. He<span style="font-style: italic">hoped</span>she was just that too, because if she wasn't she was a smarter crook than the running man. Playing yourself off as innocent had gotten more criminals out of trouble than an agile frame and knowledge of good escape routes. Of course, he could see now that the thief didn't have the latter of the two - his path would send him right past Alyssa.<br/><br/>Of course, if he could catch him first, then he needn't involve her in the chase, merely in the aftermath. His hand reaches out, trying to get a hold on the man's jacket..<br/><br/><div style="padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; border: 1px solid #d8d8d8; font-size: 1em;"><div style="text-transform: uppercase; border-bottom: 1px solid #CCCCCC; margin-bottom: 3px; font-size: 0.8em; font-weight: bold; display: block;"><span onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') {  this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = ''; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;hide&lt;/a&gt;'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerHTML = '&lt;b&gt;Spoiler: &lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href=\'#\' onClick=\'return false;\'&gt;show&lt;/a&gt;'; }"><b>Spoiler: </b><a href="#" onclick="return false;">show</a></span></div><div class="quotecontent"><div style="display: none;">Grapple Check (1d20 + 14): 18 + 14 = 32, *so* caught!  <img alt=":D" src="./images/smilies/icon_mrgreen.gif" title="Very Happy"/></div></div></div><br/><br/>..and finds solid purchase, getting a handful of the fabric and closing his fist about it like a vice, quickly reaching up to wrap his fingers around the man's arm with his other hand lest the human simply slip out of his jacket and get away. "Hey," he says, yanking the man backwards and into his arms, quickly releasing his earlier hold and wrapping his powerful arms firmly back around the fugitive before he can react. "I<span style="font-weight: bold">told</span>you to stop."<br/><br/>"Now, let's chat, shall we? You can start with telling me all about what you stole and who you stole it from, as well as informing me about any weapons you might have hidden on you then we can finish with a little chat about that mark on your jacket. Good? Good."
