The women whips her head back, snakelike, meaning Chris's punch glances off her.  Barely connecting with enough force to be "noticeable" let alone "damaging".  She grins nastily at him and narrows her eyes.  It's clear to all concerned she's totally ignoring Miyo for the moment to focus on the presumably stronger and certainly faster male.  Aiming directly for the squishiest parts of his male-ness she brings a knee up sharply.<br/><br/><em>OK.  Just to try to use a few different combat rules, she is taking something called a focus shift.  Don't worry about the name, it's not at all important.  What she's doing is ignoring everyone else in the fight in favour of concentrating on a single opponent.  This gives her a bonus to hit that one opponent - she gets to choose whether it's 10, 20 or 30 but because she's not particularly paying attention to Miyo, Miyo (and anyone else in the fight) gets that same bonus to hit her.  <br/><br/>It's a way of taking down the most dangerous targets first.<br/><br/>She has a struggle of 35% and is taking a 10% shift meaning she needs to roll under 45 to hit.  She gets a 50 though, so misses.</em><br/><br/>Sadly though, for her at least if not for Chris' future babies, dodging his punch has left her off balance and her knee slams harmlessly into the thick muscle of his leg.  Before she's really had time to growl in annoyance though her friend is at her side aiming a clawd fist - french nails outwards like talons - at Miyo's face.<br/><br/><em>This one is just a regular attack.  Needs a 35, got a 61.  As you can see, amongst unskilled opponents its pretty hard to land a blow.  Thats a good thing, though.  A very good one.  Combat is brutal in UA as you'll see shortly</em><br/><br/>Miyo manages to get a hand up, though, blocking the scything claws by knocking the girl's arm away.  No time to celebrate as the final one on her feet glares at Chris for a moment and then picks the chair up by its back, hefting it menacingly as she advances.<br/><br/><em>So instead of an attack action, she'd drawn a weapon (effectively).  Being hit with that chair is gonna do more damage than a fist, that's for sure.<br/><br/>Miyo is now up. There are two girls standing unarmed, one standing with a chair and two seating.  Hitting a seated one still gets that 10% shift in her favour.  Because one of the standing ones has been focusing on Chris, she also gets a ten per cent shift in her favour against one of the two unarmed girls as well.<br/><br/>Let me know</em><br/><br/>
