Curious he piers around the corner and sees a group of pirates running towards him with determination in their eyes. Pyce quickly hides around the corner, but it’s too late as one of the pirates yell out “Told you I saw a pretty boy in white run this way earlier!” 
Pyce starts to panic trying to figure out what to do before the pirates reach him [color=coral] [i]I have to lure them to someone that can fight them, but I have to avoid innocent people.[/i] [/color] Hearing the footsteps approach Pyce raises his staff and takes a deep breath and jumps out standing in the middle of the alley way facing the pirates pointing it at them.  With his heart and nerves racing [color=coral]“I dont want hurt you, please go back to your ship.”[/color] The pirates look at each other and break out into a laugh as they draw their swords and slowly approach him. The oldest leads the other two and leans towards Pyce “You don’t look like a fighter pretty boy, why not give us everything you have and we will make it painless.” Pyce looks down at the pirate’s sword as oldest talks and his fight or flight instincts kick in. In an instant Pyce takes off in a full sprint away from the pirates looking for someone to help him screaming out [color=coral] “HELP ME SOMEONE!” [/color]
