I propose that CorvusTheValet be the Good Cop, since I am Bad Cop.

He agrees.

It is so awkward.

I decide to wait for the expert.

CorvusTheValet has been called to a Tea Contest. DoctorCharles supports this fully.

Bethany brings a Grand Copy of the Art of Tea.

TheMarshall hears a scream. He goes to investigate–insects swarming in the lobby.

Smashes some. Maybe acid on the ground after? TheMarshall calls for DoctorCharles.

1. Round

      1. Miss TheMarshall
      2. Hit TheMarshall
      3. Attack more patrons
   2. TheMarshall misses
2. Round
   1. Insects
      1. Inject more
   2. TheMarshall hits some more.
3. Round (the rest of us arrive)
   1. CorvusTheValet takes a fencing pose and sings a strange song. Runs over to TheMarshall and booming blades the insects.
   2. SkarleTheKobold runs in and shoots a customer. He's riddled with bugs … I mean bullets–I get those confused.
   3. DoctorCharles berates SkarleTheKobold and prepares to do magic.
   4. I run in and get between the patrons and the bugs.
   5. TheMarshall goes to heal a patron, but they are dead.
4. Round
   1. CorvusTheValet booms his blade again.
   2. I trap one under a bowl.
   3. SkarleTheKobold goes to a customer “Hand over your money to the Boss Man” (DoctorCharles “Not the guests”), so he shoots at the bugs.
   4. DoctorCharles the guy SkarleTheKobold shot.
   5. TheMarshall smacks a swarm with his shield.

DoctorCharles questions the customers about what happened.

He investigates the insect. Symbol on their wings may be from the BlackLotusTong. CorvusTheValet will investigate.

TheMarshall finds that that PirkessDunlands seems to be fully dead.

CorvusTheValet investigates. Notices an acid smell. Small pool at the body's feet. He leaves. Containment. 20 minutes later. Nothing left of him or the chair, except a metal skull. It has a strange, destroyed rune.

He takes it to DoctorCharles who investigates.

I keep SkarleTheKobold occupied.

3 out of 3. Total 71 vs 47. CorvusTheValet wins, promoted to gold.

The other guy is demoted.
