Everest City (Risus Combat Test Run.)

[Mik_Hael]

.....I do not know what the numbers next to them  mean but alright.

Ace hops the the ground swings his sword upward in one stroke breaking off the side mirror of the car and kicking it towards the lead urchins head as a distraction before running forward to launch an attack at a distracted chimney sweep.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

(If you are using a cliche to attack in the future,, please state which ones in the bottom of your post. Also, pleas restrict yourself to one cliche at a time. It makes it easier on me, because if you lose, that cliche takes damage. The numbers are what you rolled for initiative.)

Ace's wooden blade arcs through the air as Oliver and Dodger duck under the flying mirror. The Sweep brings up his sweepers broom in defense, only to have it smasher to pieces.

Dodger now moves, faster than any up you have ever seen, up to Joshua. With an impish grin, he moves around back of the boy and  Josh feels nasty fingers on his neck. Before he knows what happened, several of his chains have been lifted off. "Don't mind if I take these, do ya, Gov?" he hears the mocking cockney voice in his ear.

Oliver also moves up on Anita, and attempt's to hit her with a right hook, but the girls nimble dodging causes his hand to strike a wall. He waves his sore hand a few times and curses.

(Miks 19 Breaks sweep 1's defense, bringing his cliche down to chimney sweep 1. Dodger get a 27 against Joshes 16, stealing some Bling. You can get that clich back, if you take the bling back from him. Oliver wifs with an 8 against Anita's cloths saving dodge 11.)

Changes are in bold.

(Sorry about that, between the food and the typing that was kind of slow. If it's alright with everyone, I'm going to leave out the roll comparison in the future and just go right to the things that changed because of combat, Anyway, Phi, it's now your turn.)

[Philote]

Axle charges one of the street urchins, swinging his flaming weapon in what appeared to be a crazy but actually tactical style.

(All-Star 3)

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Axel's attack should have been a little less crazy and a little more tactical, because he misses and gets kicked in the shin for his trouble.

"Oh I know you did not just try to get your grubby hands on my designer jeans!"

The Hairdresser glares at Oliver and blows another bubble. She then raises a pair of scissors, snipping them with a click. With a smirk, Anita throws the scissors end over end- right at Oliver's hat.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

The scissors slice Oliver's had clean in two, spilling coal out of it by the handful. He immediately drops down and attempts the reclaim it.

"Hey, you crazy bird! Do you have any Idea how hard it is ta even GET proper coal in this white washed hell? Teacher her a lesson boys!"

The two street urchins rush up to Anita and proceed to...well...

"Your hair looks like snot!"

"And you've got a FAT ARSE!"

These insult fail to pierce the Girls confidence. She knows how good she looks.

(The boys attempt to attack your Fashion Sense fails. Please respond with a Counter Diss. You've already won, so no worries, just insult them.)

[Zaleramancer]

"Yeah, 'cuz I'm totally taking fashion advice from the guys who look like something a dumpster would spit out." Anita said as she deployed a tactical eye-roll.

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

It was the eye roll that sealed the deal. The two urchins stand gap mouthed before suddenly beginning to bawl like children.

They are children, by the way. Neither could be older than 8.

(Marv's turn!)

[Marvelous Miscreant]

"You're gonna give that Bling back one way or another!" I barrel into the Urchin that stole my bling in a great tackle.

(Heavy Lifting)

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Your great tackle takes dodger Completely by surprise, lifting him up and slamming him into the wall. The Chains remain gripped in his hand however. He's never given something up before, he's not doing it now.

Meanwhile, the Chimney Sweep fighting with Ace leaps back, takes a deep breath, and blows into the bristles of his soot covered chimney broom. A cloud of noxious soot comes of of in, enveloping Ace. Unfortunately for him, Ace comes striding out of the haze cloud unaffected, reals back, and hits the sweep in the face with the but of his sword. He hears something break. The boy falls.

Immediately, from out of the sky, sirens are heard. A hover Med-droid drops between the crack in the building. It takes a scan of the alley, pinpoints the fallen Urchin, and fires it's Ambulance cannon at him. The Sweep is enveloped in a field a blue light, and fades away to one of the cities many convenient recovery hospitals. The Med-droid remains where it is, waiting for the next fighter to drop.

The other Sweep, not wanting to tangle with Ace, instead tries to help Dodger. She swings he broom at Joshua's back so hard it shatters. But, it shatters on the hard shine Joshua has collected over the years. He doesn't even feel it.

(Mik, along with the honor of getting first blood, it also your turn.)

[Mik_Hael]

"Never turn your back on the enemy kids." Ace makes a quick leap towards the nearest chimney sweep rushing towards Joshua and quickly hooks his foot around the child's leg and sweeps upward, attempting to unbalance and trip the Urchin, while simultaneously striking downard towards the back of the skull.

(kendo)

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

Ace comes to the aid of his gang-mate in fantastic style, striking down the second sweep. He' s pretty sure the kid has at least a concussion. The Droid agrees, and whisks him away in a soft blue light.

Meanwhile, Dodger is really fighting in Joshua's grip. Grabbing and kicking with everything he has. Finally, his tricky fingers find purchase a wrap around the Necklaces still on Joshua's neck. He pulls tight on them, beginning to chock the boy. He might have Succeed to, If Joshua had not lifted up from the wall, and slammed him into it again. This time it takes. Joshua feels his jewelery slacken and the boy in his arms go limp. He drops dodger to the ground, and as he fades away in soft blue light all that's left is Joshua's stolen Bling. He hastily puts it back on

"Not so fast you two" Oliver says, drawing his own sweepers broom from his back. He brings it in a sweeping ark downwards and when it hits the ground it releases what can only be described as a miasma. The choking soot envelope Joshua and Ace, Causing ace to hack and shudder and actually starting to Corrode some of Joshua's bling.

(too bad the med carts are here, I would have like to try out an improvised urchine flail.)

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

(Oh, you can still do that. They just have to be awake for it.)

[Philote]

"Augh! Why you little, I'll burn you alive."

I feint with a blow from the baseball bat to throw the street urchin off balance, and close in to swipe with the lighter in my off hand, hoping to set aflame the flammable objects in the street urchin's dirty clothes.

(Pyromania)

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

The gangs around the area have a little policy for when they fight the Urchins to back off. You pull out a lighter, and Wave it threateningly in their direction. You do this because they go off with the slightest spark. But they have since amended this policy as follows: You never do it on an inclosed space.

The alley was an inclosed space.

The alley had had lot's of fighting going on, kicking Urchin soot into the air.

The alley had just had the mother of all soot clouds unleashed into in.

Axel lit his lighter.

The alley exploded.

It was a flash fire, enveloping the whole place in a momentary towering inferno. Flames shot out of the entrance and enveloped an unlucky letter bee stand. Then just like that, it was over, leaving everything blacked and scorched. And in pain.

The Street urchins were down, and laid out, and twitching in a way that suggested they were in quite a lot of pain. The Med-Droid, now a slightly melted, much more black variety, shot it's beam at the two remaining henchmen, porting them away for quick treatment.

Axel wasn't that much worse for the ware. He was, of course, hurt. He just couldn't feel it.

Anita, who had been farthest away, was not as badly burnt. However, he good designer clothing was now officially junk, and her hair was scorched and frizzy.

Joshua was also relatively fine. His Bling was partially melted, and it stung something fierce, but otherwise he was okay.

Ace's sword was on fire, and his coat was ruined.

An finally there was Oliver, all the grime burned right off of him. He looked aghast at his new, clean body, looked at the remaining three people in the alley, and began to move forward, eyes filled with nothing but hate and murder.

(Right, well, that was a whole lot up in smoke. Lets see the damage.)

(I rolled individually against every cliche I though would be effected by a huge fireball.)

[Zaleramancer]

"My.. Hair.." The Hairdresser said in shocked disbelief.

It was frizzy.

Her. Hair. Was. Messed. Up.

With the deceptive calmness of all people pushed past their limits, she pulled a can of Xtra-Cling hairspray and popped the top off. A moment later, she was advancing. Burning piece of wood in one hand and a can of hairspray in the other.

Then, of course, she did the blatantly obvious.

FWOOSH!

Anita walked up, eyes practically glowing with fury, carting a improvised flame-thrower.

(HairDressing)

[Gentleman Vaultboy]

The gout of Flame hits Oliver square in the chest, causing him to be well and truly burned. He screams something incoherent and picks up the pace, looking to smash the first person to get in his way.
