    "Never heard of it" the ninja replies matter o' factually.
    That mystical swirling of multicolored leaves as they dance in the air, that fresh fall smell, the perfect weather that makes you feel so very alive. You can almost forget that you're watching dead tissue accumulate as winter claims the world and floods it with the calming scent of death.

    He grabs the ninja by the shoulder, a look of mock surprise on his face. He says, "I've got the rest of the night off so buddy, I am going to teach you how to live. But first, I've got to change my suit." he vanishes inside a bar, exiting a few minutes later wearing a fresh suit.

    Using his X-ray vision, your ninja notices that he has a spare suit hidden in a toilet stall. He then drags your ninja off to shenanigans, mostly of the embarrassing variety.

    YOu can ask him anything thought the shenanigans. List the questions, I'll weave them into a narrative.

Do you have any idea at all how many times I had to talk her out of murdering this entire city? How many ways I had to redirect her boredom? Helping her? I'm the reason we still have a city to talk in."

    Saya went and made herself a bowl of kettle corn. There was an engrossing film on about the rise of superheroes -- all dreadfully blown out of proportion, naturally -- and she needed something to snack on. The ashtray had to be emptied again, too. And what was life without another martini? Not worth living.

    Watching the film had given her a craving, too. Saya made a gesture and summoned into existence twenty manifestations of Chaos. "Go to the O'Brian's bar," she said before taking another sip of her drink, "and detonate the porco." The tallest one nodded at her and gathered its companions around it before teleporting off.

    She lit another cigarette. A little wanton destruction didn't hurt anyone. And that bartender had been remarkable in his inability to serve drinks. She was just doing the world a favor. Saya exhaled a long stream of smoke.

    "Just doing the world a favor."

    Roth just paused and stared at the man for a few seconds, before he shook his head in complete confusion. "You were hiding an ancient piece of magic jewelry... in a history museum? One which she would in all likelihood be attending the opening of? That's the single dumbest thing I have ever heard. If you have the jewelry, bury it in cement, wrap the cement in lead, take a boat out to the middle of nowhere and drop it into the Atlantic."

    One of the Brawlers held the invisible pig, and flew to the top of the bar. The other seventeen brawlers moved in concentric circles around the bar, keeping eyes out on the various exits. The teleporter teleported to the rooftop. The pig began to charge his medallion.

    eight mages crumple under your brawler's blows, four of them managed to raise their magical shields in time to deflect the blows.

    The seven remaining mages retaliate, falling back into a circle they chant, raising up a formidable glowing barrier, protecting them. Chains fly out of of the shield, aiming at all of your minions. Only half of them hit, seven of your minions are chained up but three of them manage to break out of their chains but the rest are drawn into the barrier changing its colour slightly as they are drawn in.

    He seems engrossed in some sort of conversation. The snippets you catch from his side.

    "You sure bout what's attacking A?"

    "You sure it'll work?"

    "Fine, send me the ring en route."

    Finally turning to you, he answer almost absentmindedly. "They'll wake up tomorrow morning with the mother of all headaches, they'll think it's a hangover. Suit yourself, see you at the party." the light from his ring engulfs him and he vanishes.

    When the light dissipates, you see a white business card belonging to Arthur Barnes on the floor. On the back is scrawled,
    "Here's my card, If you have any more questions just call. There's no need to send thugs. Oh, and you owe me for that Ming vase your thugs broke."

    YOur brawlers smash the barrier, bringing two of the mages to their knees. They turn into bolts of energy and fly off to parts unknown.

    A flash of light and a well dressed man with brown hair appears. Raising his arms, two etheric extensions fly from them, both grabbing brawler each. Brawlers in 'hand', the arms smashes them together, knocking them out.

    One of the mages turn to the man, shouting "Took you long enough Arthur!". The barrier glows again, five chains flying from it. It manages to chain three brawlers, none escaping.

    The unconscious brawlers disappeared into smoke. Meanwhile, the pig continues his little ritual while the teleporter observed. Saya, watching the action from afar, decided it was time to stop playing and prepared to send reinforcements in. Empire City was about to feel a little bit of Chaos.

    The chained brawlers attempted to escape while those who weren't chained move in to attack the remaining mages.

    Spoiler
    Show
    3 rounds to go.

    The brawlers have a strength of +12, so if the mages have Snare 7, the brawlers automatically get out of it. If not, then the brawlers make (1d20+13)[24] against the toughness of the snares to break free.

    The remaining brawlers, however many there may be, take 10 on their attacks again against however many mage minions they can.

    Saya prepares to summon in a few Abominations of Chaos. I'll prepare a sheet for it shortly.

    All sort of slipped in between silliness

    info on gangs/leaders, who really runs the town, what is the best type of sub to buy (meatball, Italian, ect.), who is batsey, where can everyone be found, what's fun to do in town, what's your name, info on the new gang, what caramel corn is, and why special ninja techniques don't work n the underground.

    O'Brian's

    ... something that my bikers picked up? (only Karal was in there, and he left... )

    It took him awhile but he managed to get the four unconscious men into a cab and dropped them all off in their respective homes. New information, that's what the day had brought, a decent bit of new information that needed to be processed.

    It felt slightly liberating to finally meet members of Vivienne's brothers side. They were not nearly as clever as he had imagined them, but they had a method of knocking out his abilities and could replicate it. Perhaps with those items of power they were talking about. Pieces of her brother's might maybe? Or some other power that operates under the same rules. In any case he was certain that he had not seen the last of this new brotherhood.

    After going home for the night he nodded to his guards and turned on the news.

    From beneath the ground, a tiny, wriggling creature popped up. A mere two inches in size, it looked up with wide eyes at Barnes.

    All of the brawlers disappeared into puffs of smoke, as did the teleporter. All that remained was the tiny wiggling, wriggling creature and, hidden from sight and hearing, the porco.

    One of the little guys!

    The wriggler is in the same square as Barnes. There is a 75 foot No Save nullifying field around him, so Barnes' powers are probably not working. And, depending on the location of the mages, theirs probably aren't either.
