At least one of the thugs seems to have fallen for Darian's bluff, and Eclipse's confidence is certainly shaking them further. Of all of them, the woman seems to be the most caught off-guard, and she actually takes a step back, before ordering her men forward. "Take them all, then. If they won't cooperate, we'll show them what happens when they cross the Tower Girls."<br/><br/>(Initiative rolls; the thugs act on a 4, and the woman acts on a 20, though her only action will be a 5' shift back, and a readied action with her whip. A DC 20 Perception of Sense Motive shows that two of the three thugs, and the woman, are Shaken.)
