Opponent has more fight left in them, so we will be doing the rolling for 5 more minutes. See how battle plays out!

HERO ROLLS A 5 - CRITICAL STRIKE!
Bearded Lady rolls a 3 - BEARD ATTACK

In her dancing and mockery, the Bearded Lady doesn't see Hero vanish and reappear behind her, stick in hand. "That wasn't very nice," she hears the more serious voice whispered in her ear before a glowing stick packed full of energy slams her sky-high.

The Hero leaps up and blinks around her in a series of devastating strikes with the stick. Light pulses outwards in a wave with each attack until the hero falls to their feet first. They tap the stick against their shoulder and the Bearded Lady falls as if on cue to crash against the floor of the ring for 12 points of damage!

"Hm, don't know what came over me," Hero reasons while looking over their shoulder. "You down or shall we tangle some more?"

ROLLING CLOSED.

@Mousy: Hides outrageously small notebook compared to massive hands How are you doing the knowing?

HERO ROLLS A 1!
BEARDED LADY ROLLS A 4!

Hero enters an offensive stance to start with but soon finds themselves drawn in by the sight of the beard. They walk closer to its mesmerizing movements, but find themselves down on the ground before they know it.

The Bearded Lady roundhouse kicked them down with one of her heels for 11 points of damage, and dances in place as a taunting motion, beard whipping about.

"O-ouch..." Hero gasped. "I just... wanted to admire it..."

@Angelus: Hoo, you haven't been doing the living until you've witnessed some action with the beard!

ROLLING CLOSED.

@Mousy: You may be doing the rolling as many times within the time frame!

There is roughly 5 minutes of the rolling left, just so you all know!

BEARDED LADY SAUNTERS NEAR!
She has 30 Hit Points

2- Constrict the hero in the beard to cost them an action unless 4, 5, or 6 is rolled
3- Lash out with the beard
4- Kick with the heels

THE 6 HAS BEEN ROLLED. CHARACTER SPECIFIC ACTION UNLOCKED!

Hero holds their stick at the ready, but Quinn merely settles down to draw, laying paper out in front of him. He's smiling happily while sketching, and the worlds that emerge from the tip of his crayon come to life. A tiny horse dashes past Hero's face and they blink.

Tilting their head, Hero walks closer and leans against the stick to get a better look at Quinn's drawing. The boy looks up with a gentle smile and asks, "Do you like to draw too?"

"Oh, uhm... I've tried before but all I could manage is whipping up some stick figures," Hero rubs the back of their neck, rustling the paper bag as they do.

Quinn shakes his head and holds up a piece of paper, "That's fine! Art is about having fun and making your imagination come to life on the paper! Here, why don't you give it a try?" The boy hands over his giant crayon and Hero, hesitant at first, accepts it to draw messily on the paper.

Thinking deeply, the hero draws a world where they tie for victory, and Quinn lets out a gasp. "You didn't have to do that!"

"I didn't, but hurting a kid wouldn't make me a hero at all!" They lay a hand on the boy's head and Quinn blushes.

@Mousy: Non! Battles yet to come, but for now... we will be witnessing end of boy facing Hero.

Boy will be okay as he is possessing the spirit of a fighter!

ROLLING CLOSED.
