I suppose I should roll initiative and attack. So draw swords and I would close in where his club would have less effect, but this is DnD and not actual combat.

"Fair enough," Keiji says and tosses the kid a silver. "Now, go away." Keiji continues up the stairs, finds a convenient window exit, and takes the rooftop route over to Pratchett's.

I watch from a safe distance as Luther gets out of his carriage. If he goes inside, then I creep up to the side of the building to see if I can perceive movement or conversation. Otherwise I wait and watch.

Your first strike lands a glancing blow to his forearm. Because of differences in the timeline, I need to pause your fight.

Luckily, climbing onto the roof is as easy as stepping out the window. You pick your way across the rooftops, and find yourself looking down at a large man with a bloody spiked club administering Jaster the beating of a lifetime. Five other men egg him on as Jaster makes a desperate swipe.

You know, shuriken have always bothered me because they're so weak. Throwing three per attack seems like a perfect fix; I'd be happy to allow that. damage - (2d2+2)[4]
