((Samdragonx has granted the GM permission to manage his character for a few days until his return. I shall endeavor to manage Ravadon with all due dilligence and respect.))

One of the patrons approached them, a giant of a man with thick, rippling muscles and barely enough shirt to hide them. He came within two feet of Ravadon, crossed his arms, and sneered. "Just who do you think you are, boy? I'll tell ya - yer a robbin', lyin' thief and a scoundrel. If I weren't a-feared of higher powers, I'da pulverized ya to goop on the wall. In fact, I'mma thinkin' of doin' just that..." He coiled back his arm to throw a punch.

This, as history will recall, wasn't Ravadon's brightest moment. "I think I am the Glorious Ravadon of Xyllodan, the One, the Only. If you will but listen to my tale-"

The man didn't. The man's fist connected with Ravadon's cheek with a loud crack and spray of spittle. Ravadon stumbled back and regained his footing. He ducked just in time to let another punch thunder over his head. "Now, look here, sir!" he retorted, wiping the blood from his mouth. "I'll have you know you've embarrassed me grievously, and shall pay dearly for that. Have at you!" He pulled back his fist as far as he dared, then unleashed it upon his enemy. His knuckles struck the man's chest with a thud - a glorious hit!

Silence.

The giant man chortled, a deep, menacing rumble that shook Ravadon's very bones. "You call that a punch? I'll show you what a punch is, weakling-" His monologue was cut short by a bloody cough that dropped him to the floor. "What the- what is this?" Ravadon clutched his own hand, knuckles still throbbing from the strike. He couldn't show his pain, not now, when victory was so close. So he grinned. "That, sir, is the might of the glorious Ravadon. You would do well to remember it."

The other patrons, however, didn't seem to remember it so well, and cracked their knuckles as they marched toward him. Ravadon backed off to Edward's side.

"Um, this doesn't look so good, my friend. Got any bright ideas?"
