The Dynast looks shocked as Spider's blade slices into him, drawing a bit of blood through his armor.

A mix of awe at your performing and rising panic at the sight of the Dynast and Spider's attack on him.
 
Hard to tell. Perhaps a bit of both. After all, he's also called you 'Anathema', and now Spider is starting to glow.
 
Thallus takes a deep breath and pops the collar of his buff coat and climbs down from the building on the opposite side of the building from the Hunt. With hands in his pockets and looking at the ground with his shoulders hunched over. He is attempting to look like he is grumpy and hating the crowd that fills the street.
 
Now that his dear Spider has taken the attention of the dynast. Bard turned to the crowd, ceasing his music and calling to the masses. "See now! I invited this Dynast on stage with all honors yet he attacks me and invokes the ire of my body guard!" He shouted.

"Is this the hospitality of Sijaan? Is this the spirit of the festival? To ruin our merriment by doing what violence they please based on senseless allegations?"

"I brought joy! And this one brings not but ruination!"

I would like to instill hatred/dislike/discontentment with the Dynasts. What roll should I make so I know what charms to use? Presence I believe. But would it be charisma or manipulation?

Go ahead and roll your Charisma.


At the Seagull, Thallus is able to make his way across the pier to the ship without incident. Rivers is now in the water, most likely undetected by the troops or the remaining Dynast on the ship, and Kuaidao is now below the deck and out of sight. What are the rest of you doing at this time?
 
The crowd now has a Tie of Discontent with the Dynasts.

The Hound sees and hears the rage in his master, and turns to face Spider as the source of the distress. With massive jaws slavering, it tries to bite the Lunar, netting only five successes on its roll.

The Dynast looks at Spider, and his hand goes to the trickle of blood that she's managed to draw from him. "You filthy demon whore! I'll see you dead for this!" He swings his Dire Lance at you, this time he gets seven successes to hit. Do you wish to try and stunt your defense?

Spider spins her twin blades around in a rapid circle, stepping forward to try and get into the reach of the Lance with an acrobatic twist. She then bolsters her efforts with the brief expenditure of Essence to increase her dexterity.
Assuming a 2 dice stunt, that raises my DV to 7, then I'll spend another 2m to increase my DV to 8. That will get me clear of the attack.

With a twist, you are barely able to keep the sharp point of the Dire Lance from piercing you hide.

Now going into round 3, and everyone gets another 5m back.

With a grin, Spider continues to push forward, driving the blade of her Daiklave ahead of her as she lunges it into the chest of the Dynast, hoping for a killing blow.
spending 5m on Dex Excellency, 2m on Divine Predator Strike, and a Willpower point to get the auto sux on a Decisive attack.

Yeah, its not working for me. Would you please roll? I have 18 dice in my attack pool to hit.
 
Odd. I can't edit posts, either. I'll roll for you, and report this bug to the Admins. One moment please.
 
The sharp point of the Daiklave slams home into the chest of the Dynast, drawing a deep gout of blood as he gasps in agony. He hunches over, critically injured, but is still alive if only just.

Maja follows Kuaidao at a distance, ready to accidentally collide with any unduly curious Dynasts, but is relieved to see he makes it to the hold without incident. He flashes Dromond the sign of Jupiter with his free hand as he ascends the gangplank of the Seagull, carefully keeping hold of the crate as he bows low. "Thank you for giving me this opportunity, Sir. You won't regret it."

Maja sets to work helping load the ship - the sooner they're prepared to set sail the sooner Kuaidao will be safe. He pauses for the better part of a minute before the hatch descending into the hold, an amphora of wine in one arm, before being startled out of his reverie by the bosun yelling at him to descend or get out of the way. He grits his teeth and focuses on the urgency of their situation, forcing himself to finish the job.

Rolling willpower 8 to ignore claustrophobia. 3 hits is just enough for Major.

Rolling two limit dice, one for suppressing Major Fear of Sorcery in being teleported in favour of Defining love of trying new things, and one for suppressing Major Derangement Claustrophobia.

1 hit, so 1/10 Limit.

"They think they are above the law! Where is the justice?" Bard shouted. "If it not me, then who? Who many of your friends and family have they taken based on accusations? How many innocents have they executed?"

"So quick they are to ruin what you strive to build and what merriment you try to have. They lord over you and kill whom they please. Based on what? Stories? Legends? A religion that places them on top and everyone else underneath?"

Bard whipped around and pointing a finger accusingly at the Dynast. "The only villainy here is yours, Dynast! Not even you have the right to attack someone without provocation!"

Bard turned back to the crowd with a grin expression."Speaking these words weigh heavily in my heart. But you know it... you think it. Just as tried to kill me... he could have done the same to any of you."

"He could have taken me aside amd had a word with me. Arrested me and taken me to court. Shown evidence. Or have had the courtesy as not to ruin the lives of the people of Sijan. No! He condemned me to death immediately. This isn't right! This isnt how civilization should act!"


Stunt 2
Excellency 4, peripheral mts.

Instill. Raising the intimacy of discontent to major.


6 successes
 
The Hound does not seem to care that the crowd is being swayed against his master, it just wants to kill Spider. It turns on her and lunges, trying to take a bite out of you, scoring 6 successes to hit in a Withering attack.

The Dynast is hurt bad, and he stumbles back, trying to get some distance between Spider and himself to be able to use his Dire Lance to full effect. With a spinning slice, he tries a Withering attack against Spider, scoring 10 successes in his desperation.

Psychie Psychie What do you do?

I'll go ahead and spend 4m to boost my DV up to 8. Other than that, I'm going to get hit. Soak is 10.
