[Ari]

Master Plan check, DC 10 as always

Excellent!

KoS's Stealth check,

(7+10) = (17) +2 due to Master Plan so 19.

The Thug Minions' collective Notice check(gonna get this moving along, staid still long enough!)

(15) = (15)

Great! Now the Acrobatics check, DC 10, to get closer to the table.

(2+6 = (8) +2 due to Master Plan so 10. Activates Empowerment Array.

So, within attack distance, so Marcy strikes! Initiative rolls will be collective for thugs to save time.

Thugs: (4+1) = (5)

Kingy: (2+7) = (9) +2 " " so 11.

Surprise Attack aiming for Thug #2(Larry).

(18+5) = (23) +2 " " so 25.

Defence for Thug #2 is negated by 2 due to surprise, so (18-2) = (16) still one-hit K.O. for minion-level enemies, so blue hair is down.

Takedown Attack on Thug # 1(Mike): [10,5) = (15) +2 " ", so 17.

Jonas strikes at Marcy with his sword of magic(K?). (16+2) = (18)

Marcy's defence is (13+4) = (17) +2 " " so 19. Misses.

Thugs 4-8 Attack. Thug #4(Charles 1): (19+2) = (21) Marcy Def: (11+4) = (15) +2 makes it 17, still hits, so Damage DC is 17. Now for Toughness on Marcy's part:(16+10) = (26) +2 makes it 28, huzzah!

Thug #5(Raphael) Strikes :(9+2) = (11), and Marcy's Defense, (1+4) = (5) +2 makes it 7, hit. Damage DC is 17 and Marcy's Toughness: (4+4) = (8) +2 makes it 10, KoS is now Bruised(1).

Thug #6(John)'s Strike (5+2) = (7), and Marcy's Defense is (9+4) = (13) +2 makes it 15 due to Master Plan so miss.

Thug # 7(Adrian) attacks (2+2) = (4), Marcy's Defense (17+4) = (21) +2 due to Master Plan is 23 so miss.

Finally, Thug #8(Paul) attacks with (13+2) = (15) and Marceau defends with (10+4) = (14) +2 makes it 16 so a miss.

Thus endeth ROUND ONE.

Also, I should mention that any suggestions, criticisms and corrections on points of the rules, wrongful appraisal of the background of the campaign setting or just random facts I ought to be aware of are appreciated and encouraged.

Anyway, Second Round of Combat!

Kingy attempts to Intimidate the group of wrong-doers into ceasing the conflict, with a -3 circumstance modifier due to him suffering my poor implementation of his abilities skills and powers in the previous rounds. Anyway, he rolls (17+2) = (19)

The Thugs Will Save, collective :(7) = (7) success.

So...Combat Ends!

[Ari]

Intimidate check to get the gang to tell Kingy who hired them for the job.

(20+5)= 25

Thug's collective Will save: (7)= 7

Success! They inform Kingy of their emplyer's name and nature, but not location due to their not knowing where he is(except Wolfgang that is).
