That took me entirely too long, but tonight's chat group was AMAZING and I totally got to run Maxwell through the wringer. Also CUBS WIN *screeching* Just in case any of this is relevant, the girl (Seline) in the corner is an illusionist, and she's not actually in the corner. In fact that is a trap, and if Wolf goes after her he'll trigger a stun spell with sensory impairment, and Sini and Lucius will double-team him immediately after. Seline is actually standing on the bar. Feel free to injure her severely, possibly kill her. Sini (flame hair) is an elemental spirit with a bond to combat and war in addition to her native elements (lightning and fire). She's actually something like a very /very/ minor goddess (in the proper setting they're a separate class from deities called kami, and basically powerful spirits with governance over some sort of aspect (war for her) and a realm of their own, though I don't know that she has her own realm here). Lucius also has an association with war, as he serves Sini, and he is a demon, mid-level normally but in your rankings probably minor. The pair can and do teleport as needed, with in a short range of each other, to help them get the jump on people and maneuver around. A favored tactic is popping behind someone as that person moved to engage the other. Sini might be injured a little, Lucius moreso, but I'd prefer they survive. Curly is a therianthrope or therian. Just learned the word today! Basically a were-creature, but since I dislike the usual forced change but only at full moon, I needed a different term. Also lycan means wolf, so that's inaccurate because he's a bear, though he's not shifting into a full bear form. If you want to carve him up good that's fine. Death is also fine. Zane is the one with the golden eyes, and I explained his power and my desire for his death. ^.^ Four copies of him are illusions, done by Seline -- and the real one is actually one of the middle ones and /not/ the one lacking the proper scent. If the fight lasts too long, more people will show up, but not just yet. Grimly might be around, I suppose, but he's not out. And there is at least one proper human around, but he's in the kitchen still, and won't come to fight.
