<span style="font-weight: bold">Miles:</span><br/><br/>The street is reasonably full of people, but anyone else who seems to notice the fight in a nearby building sneaks one look from a distance and stays away.<br/><br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Mia and Trishna</span><br/>Trisna's sickle slips into Guard D's flesh, barely missing his armor. He winces and mutters, "Should've just arrested you earlier." (6 HP remaining).<br/><br/>Jahleh takes Mia's request seriously, but can't see many options to de-escalate the fight now. She settles for throwing a Hold Person spell at Guard D and telling the Acolyte to retreat. Guard D is paralyzed.<br/><br/>Guard C (another woman) rushes over to the acolyte and initiates a grapple, ducking around his clumsy attempts at a counterpunch. "I've had enough of this. Let's just cut to the point..." she says.<br/><br/>Guard B charges towards Trishna and swings his nightstick clumsily at her, missing by half a foot.<br/><br/><span style="font-weight: bold">Round 1 is over. 6 seconds have passed...<br/><br/>Acolyte (Lv 1, 3 hp) (Under 2/3 hp) (Grappled)<br/>Syrene (Lv 1, 8 hp)<br/><br/>Guard D (Lv 1, 6 hp) (Paralyzed)<br/>Guard Leader (Lv 3, 19 hp) (Charmed by Mia)<br/><br/>Trishna (Lv 1, 8 hp)<br/>Mia (Lv 1, 8 hp)<br/><br/>Jahleh (Lv 4, 25 hp) (Charmed by Mia)<br/><br/>Guard C (Lv 1, 7 hp) (Grappling)<br/>Guard B (Lv 1, 7 hp)<br/></span><br/><br/>"Hey, what are you doing?" the Acolyte calls out, trying and failing to break free.<br/><br/>Syrene slips around the edges of the room, eyeing the swords the guards have kept in reserve. It looks like they weren't planning on a bloody conflict...<br/><br/>Guard D musters all his willpower to break free from the paralyzing spell's effects.<br/><br/>The Sergeant Looks over at what Guard C is doing and protests, "Hey, not in front of the noble!"<br/>Guard C shouts back, "Hey, this is what we planned anyway. I'm just moving up the timetable."<br/>Cursing under her breath, the Sergeant approaches Jahleh in a defensive stance...<br/><br/>{Mia and Trishna move next...}
