Sounds good. Yeah that's my mistake, thought Mila and Zoey had closed the distance to them for some reason but looking back it was just me having the wrong end of the stick.

It would be a Coercion(Willpower) test, who are you targetting? The Gaunlet dude or the group of thugs (they low level mooks and mechanically known as a Minion Group, they are considered to be a single enity for the purposes of them acting or being targetted by things in encounters) - difficulty will be Average (2 x Purple/Difficulty dice) for either but if you are targeting the Gauntlet dude you will have to add 1 x Black/Setback die to the check as it's a bit harder on him due to his blood being upDec 12, 2019 9:00 am

Mila's attention narrows to the gauntleted thug in front of her. She'll have a bruise from the punch he just landed for sure, but she's not nearly as phased by it as he was expecting. She takes advantage of his hesitation to judge the right angle of attack.
"My turn," she growls, swinging the pipe at his neck.
Updating: That should be enough advantages to trigger a critical hit, so I'll add a roll for that.

Zoey pulls on the gauntlets as she rounds the corner, but seeing the brawl in progress, she stops in her tracks. She reaches back into her bag and pulls out a janky-looking aluminum cylinder. "Hey!" she calls to the thugs further away. "Homemade grenade. Wanna see what it can do? Or you got better places to be?"

As Zoey shouts at the thugs they seem to largely ignore her, being more focused on Tam and his stun baton than anything else.
Mila brings her pipe crashing down onto the gauntleted thugs shoulder and is rewarded by a satisfying cracking noise and a shout of pain "You fucker! I'll fucking kill you!" he yells before swinging another punch in at her.

[ +- ] Criticals
There are three ways to inflict a Critical hit. In order to trigger each of these you need to have successfully hit your target and you need to have done enough damage to exceed their Soak rating.
1 - spending a Triumph on a roll
2 - speding Advantages on a check. Every weapon has a Critical rating, this number is the amount of Advantages you need to spend to trigger a crit
3 - if you damage a target that has taken (or will take with your attack) wounds over their Wound Threshold then they suffer a crit.
To resolve the crit you roll 1d100 and consult the Critical Hit table. Certain things amend the result of this roll such as certain Talents and Weapon/Armour qualities but you also add +10 to the roll for each crit the target has already suffered

Aditi takes out her stun gun and makes a hesitant step forward. She wants to step into the fight and help her friends, but fighting - hurting - another person, even if they are attacking her friends... it's against her nature.
"You think you guys are tough, working for Los Scorpiones, don't you?" She has no guarantee that that's the case, of course, but it's worth a try. "But don't believe for a second they will even care enough about you to scrape your remains off the street once we're done with you. Just give up while you still can and we'll let you live."
She's trying to sound tough, but she's not a fighter and that's clear from not just her appearance but also her tone and voice. She just has to hope that gauntlet guy is too distracted to notice.

Aditi feels the tension of the encounter getting to her and has a hard time keeping her hands from shaking but she see's a momentary doubt creep across gauntlet dudes face.
The other group of thugs and Tam start setting about each other with gusto. The thugs don't land a hit but both them and the gauntlet dude seem to be buoyed up by their numbers. Tam on the other hand connects the with Stun Baton causing a yelp and a slight look of disorientation from one of the thugs but he does over extend himself somewhat on the attack and needs to re-position.
Tam takes 1 Strain from the Threat on their check.
The Thugs will pass a boost onto each of themselves and whoever goes next on their side with the 3 x Advantages (1 advantage to give the next ally to go a boost and the other 2 to specifically give themselves one on their next check)

Divested of her improvised weapon, Mila grimaces as she aims her next punches. Aditi and Zoey, bless their tender hearts, keep trying to talk the thugs down, but they might as well be flailing their arms in zero-g; without leverage, they wouldn't get anywhere.
Controlled application of force, on the other hand, Mila thinks as she throws a series of punches at the gauntleted thug, that'll get you where you want to go.

Zoey looks at Aditi and sighs. She turns toward the group of thugs attacking Tam and gets ready for an underhand toss. "My Mama always told me that follow-through is the key to good discipline..." She tosses the grenade at the group and looks on, eager to see if the design works....
Looks like 1 Success, 7 Advantage. Grenade does 9 stun damage to the minions, minus their Soak. I'll use 5 advantage to activate a critical (and outright drop a minion). Remaining 2 Advantage will pass a boost to Tam for his next attack.

Yes, normally you could spend three Advantages todisable a piece of gear instead of damaging a target. In this instance as you failed on your attack I'd be willing to allow it for two more Advantages (so five in total) - it would mean his Power Gauntlet would instead just act as a pair of Brass Knuckles.
