Thunderfang's eyes widened and she froze at Echo's rolling on the ground crying. Jodi's admonishments fell on deaf ears as the wolf villainess contemplated whether she might have totally fucked up.<br/><br/>"Wow," she stage-whispered, her tail slowly swaying from side to side as she pressed her index fingers together, "you're<em>good</em>at this. You, er,<em>are</em>good at this, right?"<br/><br/>She looked from side to side and said loudly, "I mean HAHA, suffer for your betrayal! Y-yeah, definitely do that thing."<br/><br/>Possibly fortunately for the wolfgirl's attempts at subterfuge, the collected heroes had bigger problems to contend with, namely the feathered fury that Wild Warden had just stirred up. Although he was able to bring some of them under his control, the rest swarmed, pecked, assaulted and otherwise made mischief upon anything they could find. A giant ball of them swarmed around Natasa and carried her off at incredible speed to parts unknown!<br/><br/>She'd probably be fine eventually, with her persistent need for speed and mavericky ways it wasn't her first ride into the danger zone with a goose.<br/><br/>Everyone else wasn't so lucky, bearing the brunt of the swarm's assault! Some of the more ornery of the lot swooped in to fling sharp objects at Warden, while showing weakness both Echo and Thunderfang were set upon as well. Someone finally noticed Jodi in the fray, which might have been a good thing if it had been the villainess she had been trying to convince. Unfortunately, it was an energized swarm of waterfowl who had noticed her bright red shirt and wanted it for themselves!<br/><hr/>Wild Warden hits with net 4 successes against the honk army and makes a substantial dent in their numbers. Warden-Controlled Gaggle of Geese acts at Edge 0. They defend with 3 dice, and can gain +2d on the offensive if they focus fire - which will be increased if someone finds a way to arm them.<br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Rolls</div><div class="spoiler_body">At 2019-08-24 01:39:58, Guancyto (uid: 56325) rolls: 3d6 Result: 14 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=138842) Result: 5, 6, 3<br/>At 2019-08-24 01:40:23, Guancyto (uid: 56325) rolls: 1d6 Result: 2 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=138844) Result: 2</div></div><br/><br/>The remaining honk army attacks Warden, Echo, Thunderfang, and Jodi. 2 successes against Warden, 5 successes against Thunderfang, 4 successes against Echo, and 1 success against Jodi.

"Seems a pack of well-meanin' amateurs decided to jump in headfirst and call me a son of a bitch if they haven't made a right mess of things. Why don't you little ladies step back and let old Whiskey Punch show you how it's done?"<br/><br/>Standing with his back to the group, his hat shaded by the sunset (wait, it wasn't sunset, that was definitely someone with a bright orange light giving him a backlight), he hovered a hand right above one of his holstered revolvers. A tumbleweed blew by, only to be immediately set upon and torn apart by more geese.<br/><br/>"Draw!"<br/><br/>A single shot ricocheted off at least four buildings, a stray briefcase and a man's silver pocketwatch in his breast pocket with a rapid succession of<em>pingpingpingpingping</em>s before squarely piercing the tire of the delivery truck. The big truck careened into a tree, flinging the driver out through the windshield at a speed guaranteed to kill any mortal man and some more besides.<br/><br/>"That's my line!" Stepping out from behind Whiskey Punch, her coattails flapping in the wind (wait, Whiskey Punch's clothes weren't flapping in the wind, was she making her own wind?) was none other than Arcana, premier sorceress and legendary hero. As the delivery driver flew at them she flipped up a card from her deck, depicting a powerful figure driving a chariot. Subtle green lines of energy ensnared the driver and he slowed his ballistic trajectory just enough to land safely in her arms.<br/><br/>The crash of the delivery truck had burst open the back, and now the park was covered in frozen highly-processed meat sandwiches, but at least it wasn't in danger any more!<br/><br/>"Whiskey Punch!" hurt and swarmed as she was, Thunderfang had stars in her eyes at the appearance of such an incredible hero. "You're here to save me, right?"<br/><br/>He shook his head and called back, "little lady, I don't know where in tarnation you get these ideas. I'm here to bring you to justice, of course. Such justice as you will feel it deeply, and I promise I will deliver it hard and fast."<br/><br/>She sputtered before correcting herself, and blushed to the very tips of her furry ears, "right! That's exactly what I meant! You're here to justice me!"<br/><br/><del>Whiskey Punch: 24</del>Acted<br/><strong>Queen of Swords: 22</strong><br/>Arcana: 16 Holding<br/><strong>Cherry Twist: 16</strong><br/><del>Natasa: 13</del>Taking a ride into the danger zone<br/>Luna: 12<br/>Thunderfang: 11<br/>Echo: 11<br/>Jodi Kanenfodr: 11<br/>Wild Warden: 8<br/>Magical Chroma: 7<br/>Horde of Energized, Hungry Geese: 0<br/>Gaggle of Warden-Controlled Geese: 0<br/><br/>Adversity Pool: 7
