Jon himself suffered only a few low blows, but his armour took the bulk of it. [20:53] <@BradGM> After half the gangers went off flying, a more competent fighter, armed with makeshift torches, knocked the already wounded Mira on her backside, prompting Grendel to get involved. While his strikes proved infective, he did managed to spot Loxx, a woman with numerous burned scars/tattoos on her face and body, and started down the gang leader and her close guards with simple exposure of his bolt pistol. [20:53] <@BradGM>. The fight was quickly put on hold, as Mockingbird, in an ever-ongoing display of dodgy answers and half-truths, tried to warn Loxx, and in turn, the Firechilds, about her imminent death at the hand of some mysterious enemy with mixed results. [20:54] <@BradGM> This resulted in the woman being curious, if only more ready, to face the assailant with the cell who, at least in the case of Lyra, proved a worthy ally. Grendel insisted for the gangboss to follow them to safety, which pushed Jon to reveal their allegiance, to the collective surprise of the hivers; the Holy Inquistion. +++ [20:54] <@BradGM> ++++++++End Transmission++++++++ [20:55] <@BradGM> **The gangers are all awe-struck by Jon's almost off hand remark.** [20:55] * Grendel calculates the response of the gangers.
