  • Kyra makes a quick assessment and realizes another strategy is in order to defeat Consone, who is a better straight up fighter than her. Amanda meanwhile gets a boost from seeing so many confident female Immortals on the battlefield...will she be a difference maker in this environment? Ursa once again runs afoul of Jin Ke, who opens the lumbering beast up.

    • Caspian and Agent McCormick are going full tilt now. The fed is far better than what Caspian thought he would be. Unfortunately for Matthew, the ancient is more than just a psycho cannibal, which he finds out as soon as Caspian slices him with his hidden dagger.

      Katya has seen Consone easily dispatch Ashe, and now he is carving up her friend Kyra as well. She charges in with a well placed kick to Consone's shoulder, sending him back a few steps. He sneers at Katya. "I have always enjoyed lovely ladies. Now, I shall enjoy two."

      "How about three instead, Otavio?"

      Consone turns. It's Amanda, that damned thief, he thinks to himself. This is not quite the odds he would enjoy. But he is a master and this is certainly a master's challenge. He moves away from the women and, with the tip of his sword, draws a large circle and moves to the center of it. "Come my beauties," he says with smile "and let us do the wicked dance."

    • Well, things are certainly interesting...

      Ursa turns and runs from Jin Ke, knocking the women and Consone over like nine pins, people are sprawled, swords are dropped, and there's a really big guy trying not to get killed, stomping around like Godzilla. More as an act of self defense than any real attack, Kit flails at Ursa who goes down - much to his surprise, Kit gets a really weird quickening.

          • Methos suffers a bit of flashback to something he hasn't done in ages. Found himself with an army of women! All of them good, all of them capable. He amuses himself with imagining he would swoon.

            Caspian is starting to defeat Matthew, who unfortunately got his only ally killed, and no one else really knows him.

                Poor Matthew. And Consone is not going to have the ease he expects.

            • Let's see here...Consone, the misogynist pig, surrounded by no less than 4 very capable females. And Methos knows this...a little gentle goading and prodding, and they're off to the races! Meanwhile, Khan gets a -1 for existing.

                  Awe, poor Amanda! However, I have to point out that though Katya and Kyra might not realize it, Consone could probably take them both down in seconds if we weren't limited.

              • Gina takes another swipe at Senghis for good measure and joins Methos, who she remembers fondly for the trick they played on Mac. Consone may be down another, but if someone felt like it, they could probably give him two for capacity and get him out of this mess.

                • There are soooo many different ways this could go. As this stands, I honestly see Consone as a the wild card.

                  Caspian and Jin Ke emerge from where Caspian has killed Matthew and see the situation. Consone is doing his best but three against one, especially when one is Kyra, is pretty tough for any immortal. Gina approaches Methos as a friend, knowing him as Adam. "Adam" keeps Gina occupied, as in not paying attention to the Consone situation. The idea has occurred to Methos that, if he could sway Jin Ke, he could do the same to this Khan person. Caspian moves in behind Amanda and shoves a knife into her spine, causing her to let out a scream. This gets Kyra and Katya's attention and allows Consone to scramble away and catch his breath. This also gets Gina's attention. She turns to tell her friend Adam they must help. Adam isn't home anymore. Methos just stares at her coldly and says "Why?"

                  +2 Caspian
                  -2 Amanda

                    I want to know why, too? I ask you to do better on why than "He's just evil" because that's a mismatch with behavior observed when he's alone. He has more of a bond with Amanda than with Gina, after all.

                      • Bolstered by a little help from her friends, Kyra puts up a flurry of attacks that catch the winded Consone off guard, bringing him to his knees. "Senorita, you needed all the help you could get to defeat me. Have you no shame?" Kyra thought about all the men she's fought, and killed, who would never have thought twice about using whatever means necessary to take her down. But just because she's a woman, it should be different? She shrugged. "Not really." SLICE

                        • Methos is in a bit of a quandary, Caspian is crazy and he cordially hates him, but he is good in a fight. Amanda he likes but she's only okay in a fight and the whole idea here is survival...his survival, he agrees with Gina that she's right, Amanda needs help. Gina is pleased, and so is he. Either way he should be okay, he gets two good fighters on his side or one really good fighter, Gina moves to Amanda 's aide as Methos intended, he circles the field as the two women engage Caspian. ++ Gina & Methos -- Caspian

                          • Jin Ke joins Caspian to even that fight out. Now, Methos contemplates his next move. Gina manages to hold her own for the time being. Caspian cuts Amanda though.

                            Elsewhere, Kyra and Katya are figuring out the next move and face off with Bryce Koreland and Morgan Walker. Methos sees this. He has an old score to settle and this takes his mind off Caspian/Gina/Jin/Amanda. He moves over that way.

                              Honestly Dub, I think Methos's behavior seems to hinge on who he is around. As long as Caspian is here and Jon Ke is under his control, he will do what is best for him and it will lean towards a darker path. If someone good and more powerful (for example, a McLeod or Darius perhaps) it would cause him to go that direction. Methos is going to go the direction that best benefits Methos and keeps him alive. And right now, I think that is Caspian and Jin Ke because he KNOWS they can benefit him and his quest. In the right circumstances, he will absolutely turn on them. But there isn't anyone here to do that.

                              On another note. I had this thought of somebody persuading Consone that he could be good. I was going to try that but Kyra got him first.

                                  • Poor Frank Brody. Can't a guy just fish? He didn't ask for all the fighting that comes with bring immortal. Michael Christian, jerk that he is, sees the hapless Brody and takes a couple of swings, drawing first blood. Who knows, maybe someone will take pity on Frank and lend him a hand. (No points to Christian though, because he's a ponce). Amanda rests up and plans her next move, hoping that she can count on Methos. Might be a dangerous play...
