Lucky Victory for Golden Girl!

***

Initiative: GG+7 v Criminal+2; 9 v 10

Damn, the Criminal won Initiative!

The Criminal will use Fascinate(Intimidation).

Intimidation+11 v Insite+9; 19 v 24

Lucky, that could have gone badly

***

Grinning up a Golden Girl, the Criminal attempts to stare her down. “Why don’t you be a good girl and put your hands down?” He takes a few confident steps towards her. “Otherwise I might have to spank you.”

Golden Girl smiles at the Criminal. “Oh?” Figuring that she could play along long enough to get his guard down, GG steps slowly towards the man. Swaying her hips enticingly as she pretends to be intimidated by him. “Is that a promise?”

***

Deception(Fascinate)+10 v Insight+5; 22 v 22

A tie huh? I could do a roll off, but I’m just going to say that meets beats so it fails.

***

At first the Criminal smiles when GG pretends to play along. But when GG takes a few steps towards him he jumps backwards. “Yeah, nice try big tits. I’m not falling for that. Guess we’re doing this the hard way.”

***

Criminal Punch +6 v Parry DC 15; 23 is a HIT!

Golden Girl Toughness+11 v DC 23; 23 fail! GG takes a bruise, -1 toughness saves to future attacks.

***

The Criminal swings at GG, his fist connecting and in her surprise she staggers back a bit. “Shit!? I actually felt that.” He seems as strong as I was when I first started. But not as strong as she is now.

***

GG Punch +6 v Parry DC 16; 21 is a HIT!

Criminal Toughness+8 v DC 26; 27 Damn, he saved!? Things are not looking good for GG!

***

Confident in her superior strength, GG swings and feels a thrill when her fist connects with his shoulder. But to her dismay the man rolls with the punch and shrugs it off.

‘This might be bad GG.’

Ignoring Jessica’s worries, GG simply similes. “Well, looks like you might actually be some fun.”

***

Criminal Melee+6 v Parry 15; 24

Toughness+11-1 v 25; 20 FUCK! That is Two Degrees of Failure!

Failure (two degrees): The target is dazed until the end of their next turn and has a –1 circumstance penalty to further checks against damage.

Which means GG is Dazed!

_Dazed: _A dazed character is limited to free actions and a single standard action per turn, although the character may use that action to perform a move, as usual. Stunned supersedes dazed.

Granted since they are just punching each other GG doesn’t need to use a Move. But still, that is another -1(total -2) to Toughness.

***

When the Criminal swings again, his fist connecting again, GG is surprised to see stars. ‘Huh, I might actually be in trouble.’

‘Damn it, take this seriously!’

But in spite of the danger, or maybe because of it, GG can’t help but smile. Her heart is pounding, her adrenaline is flowing through her veins. She feels alive!

Eager and energized she swings at the man again, enjoying herself and excited at the prospect of what might happen.

***

GG Punch v Parry 16; 10, screw it! Hero Point to Re-Roll!

GG Punch v Parry 16; 17, well at least that hits!

Criminal Toughness+10 v DC 26; 26 Oh you have got to be kidding me! LOL!

***

Golden Girl swings awkwardly at the Criminal and manages to hit him. When she feels her fist connect with his chest she feels a thrill of excitement. Excitement which is tempered when she sees the man smile back at her.

“Girl, I’m going to enjoy taking my time with you.” He quickly steps towards GG, bringing his fist towards her in a quick jab.

***

Criminal Punch+6 v Parry 15; 12

Finally a miss!

***

But GG manages to step to the side this time, bringing her own fist around in an attempt to counter attack.

***

Golden Girl Punch+6 v Parry 16; 18

Criminal Touchness+10 v DV 26; 27

Damn, she just can’t get a break!

***

Again her fist connects and again he manages to absorb the blow with his muscular chest. “You have to roll with the punch girl. Here, let me show you.”

‘Stop admiring his chiseled abs GG and beat this bastard!’

‘I was admiring his chest, you are the one thinking about his abs.’

As GG is arguing with the voice in her head the Criminal quickly moves in for another superhuman punch.

***

Criminal Punch+6 v Parry 15; 15 meets beats

Toughness+11-2 v DC 23; 23 meets beats

***

Absorbing the powerful blow, GG grins at the man, tilts her head, and sarcastically asks. “Like that?” Then swings her own powerful blow at him.

***

Golden Girl Punch+6 v Parry 16; 17

Toughness+10 v DC 26; 16 damn! That is Three Degrees! Finally some luck for GG!

Failure (three degrees): The target is staggered and has a -1 circumstance penalty to further checks against damage. If the target is staggered again (three degrees of failure on a Damage resistance check), apply the fourth degree of effect. The staggered condition remains until the target recovers (see Recovery, following).

Taking advantage of him being Staggered(half movement speed), GG will move out of his movement range.

***

The man must have been getting over confident because this time when GG’s fist connects she manages to hit him solidly in the gut, causing him to bow over as he loses his breath. Taking advantage of the situation GG dashes back out of his reach. “Oh what’s the matter? Getting beaten up by a girl.”

Weezing, the man takes a few steps towards GG. “I’m… cough, cough… Going to make you pay for that girl…”

‘We should run while we can GG, get some help.’

‘But I’m having fun Jessica!’

‘If we stay here he might beat us, and then…’ Jessica doesn’t need to finish the thought, they both know that might happen. Likely something similar to the first night they went out and attempted to act like a superhero.

Smiling at the memory, Golden Girl smiles. ‘Sure, running would be the safe thing to do, the smart thing to do. The boring thing to do. But it wouldn’t be the fun thing to do.’

Determined to see this to the end, GG leaps back towards the criminal, yelling an excited battle cry as she does so.

***

Complication: Motivation(Bored) because GG refuses to leave even though it would probably be the smart thing to do.

Golden Girl Punch+6 v Parry 16; 25

Toughness+10-1 v DC 26; 18 Another failure(-2) AND Dazed! Not that daze does much in this situation.

***

“Fuck, let go of me you damn bitch!” The man manages to throw off your attempt at a grapple.

“Oh, but I thought you wanted to have your way with me?”

Unamused by her teasing, the man pulls back his fist and swings it at GG.

***

Criminal Punch+6 v Parry 15; 21

Toughness+11-2 v DC 25(because for a bit I forgot he had a 10 and not an 8); 26

Not that it makes too much of a difference.

***

But now that her blood is flowing GG simply smiles and absorbs the blow with her massive muscular body, barely flinching as she readies another blow of her own.

***

GG Punch+6 v Parry 16; 18

Toughness+10-2 v DC 26; 14 Oh, another 3 degrees! Another Stagger and another -1 (total -3)

(He needs get an 11.… (26, 21, 16, 11) to be knocked out.

***

And punches him in the side of the head. Seeing him stunned, GG once again jumps back out of his reach, catching her breath as she enjoys the sight of the staggering criminal trying to stay up right. Still grinning with excitement she once again leaps back towards the criminal.

***

Golden Girl Punch+6 v Parry 16; 24

Toughness+10-3 v DC 26; 8 NATURAL 1 BABY!

***

Leaping “This will teach you to hit a lady!” With a loud cry Golden Girl pummeled the criminal with a flurry of multiple blows and within seconds he is down on the ground, ****.

‘Wow, I’m honestly a little surprised.’

‘What, did you seriously expect me to lose?’ Seriously, at this point GG thought that Jessica had more faith in her.

‘I was starting to think you were going to throw the fight because you were horney.’

‘Please, I’ve never purposefully thrown a fight.’ Jessica didn’t have a response to that, leaving GG with a now awkward silence as she considered what to do with the criminal she just beat up. “Now, what am I going to do with you?”

***

Author’s Note: I think I messed up one of GG’s Toughness saves. But the Criminal DID roll a NAT 1, so it wouldn’t really change the outcome.

Also, I have no idea what image to use for this "Criminal". Assuming he eventually gets a name and becomes a reacurring character.
