(This is what happens when you linger outside the Wandering Monster Ready Room...)<br/><br/>The guard, a big-chested bearded guy with a lavender-colored leather posing pouch, a tiny horned helmet, and an axe, blinks in confusion for a moment.  Then he brandishes his weapon high and yells out.<br/><br/>"ALARM!!!"<br/><br/>But he doesn't charge just yet.  He seems to be trying to take the measure of this mere slip of a girl and her wickedly curved scimitar.<br/><br/>Mechanics--the guard is a mere Rep 6 NA 3 HH, and he only passed 1 on his Wants to Charge reaction test, so he hesitates for one round...giving Our Heroine the first attack, since she doesn't have to test.
