Sweet Serande Pt 2 (Day 2 EN Solmillos)

[Zanebry Varliss]

"Oh? Is there any reason the Imperial military has a interest in me?" He hadn't moved, not yet. "If all you want is a pleasant chat, I don't see why we can't do it over drinks after all."

[Nekoinu]

The man stood up abruptly, his chair screeching against the floor. "Let us go outside, sir. That will be the final time I ask 'pleasantly.'"

[Zanebry Varliss]

"A friend of mine by the name of Remmington Thalalus, likely won't be too pleased to hear you have been treating me this way." He took a step towards the door, this definitely wasn't going to be pretty. eight on one wasn't good odds and he didn't know if his two friends would join in.

[Nekoinu]

"I will be sure to keep that in mind," he said, not serious at all. The other man rose out of their chairs and began to form a path to the entrance.

[Arsele Girard]

Arsele glanced over to the tavern owner, wondering what she should do with her piano player being escorted out. It's not like she could just leave the customers behind or do as well without accompaniment...

[Zanebry Varliss]

Making a break from it was a idea, they were giving him a little time to play as he was in the lead. As the men rose from their seats he carefully looked over them, checking for evidence of weapons. It might help him come to a decision.

perception, average difficulty: 3eA+1eP+2eD 2 successes

[Nekoinu]

Each of them had an empty holster for a pistol. Presumably their guns were left at the door. They were allowed to hang onto their combat knives, however. "Move along, move along."

[Zanebry Varliss]

"I am." He replied simply as he walked. "Are you ever going to tell me what this is about though? Or are you simply going to take me outside to shoot me or beat me or whatever you have in mind?"

[Nekoinu]

"You will not die unless you are weak. But you may wish you did." One of the subordinates did not resist cracking his knuckles.

[Zanebry Varliss]

"Ah in that case... Sorry Sol!"

Z will nonchalantly grab a beer bottle off a nearby table, while pretending to bump into it, and as the leader approaches turn, and pop him over the head with it.

[Nekoinu]

Go ahead and roll a Skulduggery (Cunning) Check at Average Difficulty. Flipping one destiny to upgrade to 1 Challenge/1 Difficulty.

[Zanebry Varliss]

Zanebry could be casual about most things. and it was hard to tell he had picked up the bottle or event that he intended to use it as a weapon so quickly.

skullduggery! versus thugs: 2eA+2eP+1eD+1eC 4 successes, 2 advantage

[Zanebry Varliss]

He got a bit of a jump on the mook to his right, but there his aim was off, the Bottle missing and smashing against ta table/

The group blinked and pulled up their fists. "Fine. We will do this inside."

[Arsele Girard]

Sitting on the piano still, Arsele tried to make it appear she was unconcerned by the trouble. She was on edge truthfully though.

D2 En, vigilance (will), initiative: 2eA 2 successes, 1 advantage

[Nekoinu]

One of the PCs, please take the stage!

[Zanebry Varliss]

Well that hadn't worked nearly as well as he hoped. Still. He was completely out of options. "Fucking Imperials are trying to make me disappear like all the others.!"

He shouted hoping some of the drunks would believe him and come to his aide.

Decption/cunning 2 boost dice. Let's see if I can get some friends in on this fight.: 3eP+1eA+2eB+2eD+1eC 3 failures, 6 advantage, 1 Triumph

[Nekoinu]

The bar collectively perked their brows at the accusation. "You're full of bantha poodoo Z!"

"Yeah? But we haven't had a good brawl in two days!"

"Let's get them!"

Two of the Imperials split off to go fight the bar patrons. Meanwhile, the leader managed to kick the investigator straight in the gut... and then managed to topple over. Then, three men somehow managed to not land a solid blow on Zanebry.

[Arsele Girard]

Slipping off the piano Arsele made her way to a table with her drink. Sitting she held her glass with one hand while subtly slipping her holdout blaster out with the other. Her shot hit a thug in the back, but she quickly dropped the blaster in her lap and acted as if nothing was happening with her.

The Imperial looked back, shook his head when he failed to find the shooter, and went in to flail at Zanebry.

[Galen Sol]

Galen rushed in to take some punches for Zanebry. He also influenced one of them with the Force into a state of peace and tranquility, thus removing him from the brawl to rethink his life.

[Zanebry Varliss]

Zane grunted as he was kicked in the gut, though a satisfied smirk crossed his lips as his foe fell to the ground. Circling his opponents to try and keep from surrounded, he aimed a punch at a mook in the group being harassed by gunfire.

It connected solidly, but didn't seem to do much damage.
