It could be that the card collector had a soft spot for the Queen of Swords, or... Joyeuse had seen that<em>look</em>before, it was the calculating look where she was trying to figure out if it would be too much trouble to buffalo her off somewhere by herself and collect her that way. Fortunately she was clinging<em>very</em>tight to Jodi, because the<em>look</em>passed as quickly as it had come.<br/><br/>"Clean up Thunderfang and Echo, would you?" she waved a hand to Whiskey Punch, "I can handle the rest."<br/><br/>"I do believe I can handle the delivering of hard justic-" "You already used that line. Just go!"<br/><br/>As Whiskey Punch squared up to deliver hard justice upon the two villainesses, the heavily injured Echo animated a tree to take her away from all these hurtful people!<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Note</div><div class="spoiler_body">Echo is at 4/10 HP, but anyone trying to stop her from running away is going to have to beat her 5 successes - unless they act before her, of course.</div></div><br/>Arcana produced the Chariot again and her body lit up with lines and circuits, humming and crackling with a building force. In a blinding flash she crossed the distance between them, a wave of air and force washing over Jodi and Joyeuse and blowing away the geese trying to get at her shirt, except for one very persistent straggler hanging off the end by his beak.<br/><br/>Joyeuse would know that was either a very exceptional goose or Arcana wasn't<em>really</em>trying.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Rolls</div><div class="spoiler_body">Taking the Charm for mysterious reasons.<br/><br/>Arcana actually rolls kinda crappily, taking down 3 geese.<br/><br/>At 2019-08-31 03:36:20, Guancyto (uid: 56325) rolls: 12d6 Result: 30 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=139027) Result: 5, 1, 4, 1, 4, 3, 1, 4, 2, 3, 1, 1, <br/>At 2019-08-31 03:36:49, Guancyto (uid: 56325) rolls: 3d6 Result: 12 (https://elliquiy.com/forums/dicebot.php?r=139028)</div></div><br/>"Oh hello there," Arcana gave a bow that just so happened to sweep her coat dramatically, taking Jodi's hand and pressing a kiss to the back of it, "I just happened to be in the neighborhood. I'm Arcana, archmage and fearless protector of humanity's cultural heritage. I haven't seen you around before; are you new?" A subtle smile played at her lips, "I could make you famous, you know.
