OOC:
Alrighty! Looks like KCC just threw a bucket of river chum into the fan! Before we formally get started, a couple of items...
Foggie, you certainly saw the man confronting Lambert before your pal threw a punch. The other two, who were approaching Banio and Trusova, please roll 1d20 + Streetwise or Spot, your choice, trying to meet or beat a 20. You'll see them if you make it.
Lambert -- the aggressor in combat enjoys a +5 to their roll, so your total is 19. Unlike regular skill checks, combat is opposed... and as I've mentioned before, if you lose, either attacking or defending, you'll take damage. Combat is fast and furious in this game. For you to strike the mouthy guy in front of you, you just have to beat his modified d20 roll, not a 20.
Rausimod, "stony sit-bones" is -awesome!- If this were a game with metacurrency, I'd award you some! But it's not, and it's dirty, die-in-a-ditch British OSR, so instead best of luck to you with your stool sir.
Trusova, make a Spot check, please. You know these by now -- 1d20 + Spot skill, hit or beat a 20 to see a couple of men you recognize before they're on you.
Will wait for
Banio to chime in, then I'll post and get this nastiness started.
