((Allen makes a Stealth roll with the Ambush Trapping.  Anyone who does not make an Alertness roll exceeding his Stealth roll can only defend at a level of Mediocre.  Anyone who does succeed may defend as normal.))<br/><br/>((Initial Skill Level: +0.  Dice roll:  2, 3, 5, 5.  Effective level: +2)<br/><br/>Allen had been on a stake-out near the park, following the mobsters that had been coming from the opposite direction to meet his supernatural companions.  This...worked in his favor, since he came up behind them.  Seeing the threat of imminent violence, Allen took his Templar Sword out of storage and snuck up closer.  The two goons that had been flanking the mafia man - Tony - fled screaming in terror.  From something, anyway.<br/><br/>Gripping his sword, he made his way closer to Tony.  If any of his friends saw him, they would see a finger pressed to his lips, telling them to keep quiet.  He wanted to have the drop on Tony if it came down to swinging.
