Dominique was certain Diego was toying with the unfortunate Barathian thugs. It was just the sort of ploy the former pirate would use: let it appear an opponent has the upper hand, then finish them with a single flourish. Now was not the time to be showing off. The insult had been bad enough, drawing unwanted attention to their presence and possibly compromising the entire mission. Dominique had hoped to slow or even stop the Barathians and avoid a confrontation. Now, they would<em>have</em>to fight.<br/><br/>Dominique stood up easily balancing himself on the crest of the roof. His right, gloved hand slowly withdrew his rapier from its sheath while his left raised to his temple. Again, Dominique reached out his mind into that of another. He targeted the nearest thug and attempted to plant another illusion, this time of himself approaching closer to his opponent. He hoped the Barathian would swing at the illusion placing himself off balance as he met no resistance and opening himself up for a counterstrike.<br/><br/>OOC 1d6 for Attack, 2d6 for Defense (playing it cagey) Expert Koldun +4, Good Quick with the Blades +2. I am posting from my phone which makes it a real pain to do dice and then copy and paste results and such. Would it be too much to ask you to roll for me, MadPanda?
