Sinn slams through the door, knocking a few people down. Right now, everyone is looking around wildly, not really sure what's happening. There's been a quick set of gunshots, but nothing else.

To the left, Sinn can see a couple of goons moving through the crowd in his direction, and two more moving across the floor, towards the far door, looking like they're planning on circling around, assuming he's still on the prow of the ship.

Sinn takes off and tries to get lost in a crowd, removing his top hat and placing it a random mans head who appears to also be wearing a black coat. He doesnt stop to see the mans reaction, he just keeps walking until he can find another exit and slip out quietly.

Somehow grace is with him. Sinn manages to skirt through the crowd before the Made Men spot him. He runs through the main gaming area, out into a hall. There are stairs going up to the next deck, a nearby lounge and dining area, and a hall leading towards the rear.

Sinn takes a quick glance around, trying to find someone he can pay to switch clothes with. Someone about the same size.

Having no such luck, seeing how everyone is moving around so fast, and the only ones he can catch in his vision are beyond his waist size. Deciding to walk into the lounge to see if there is a waitor or someone he could pay off to make the switch.

Perception Roll #2


http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2701887/

Having surprising luck in a casino, Sinn spots an older man, probably in his 60s or 70s , sitting have something to eat (Jumbalaya). He has a slight build, the striped shirt and old slacks and suspenders he's wearing look like they would fit Sinn perfectly.

Sinn quickly approaches the man, taking a second to compose himself before he walks directly up to him.

Excuse me sir, but Id like to make you a proposition. I will pay you one hundred Nu-...Dollars to switch clothes with me. You can keep the suit and the money. 50 is for your clothes, and the other 50 is to keep quiet about this. Can we make a deal?

Roll for negotiation

The old man agrees, slightly with a touch of suspician. He follows Sinn into a nearby bathroom.

Ill pay you after we switch. Now get into the stall

The old man eyes him.
You'll pay me now, son.

An annoyance flares inside Sinn. He considers just killing the old man and taking the clothes. But his better judgment takes over.

He is an innocent. Victim of his own greed. Just agree and move on, you dont have time for this.

Fine. But we change right here, and not in the stall. Its not that dont trust you, old man. I just dont have time to re-negotiate. Ill throw in an extra 25$ if you dont argue.

The old man takes a moment, then replies.

Fine.

Sinn hands him the money and makes a mental note of what he has left. They start undressing, as Sinn removes all the contents of his pockets before handing his clothes over, and taking the old mans. Once hes dressed and all his property is in his pockets, he heads towards the door. On his way out:

Thank you. Some free advice? Get off this boat the next chance you get. Sinn walks out the door, and begins to head up to the upper deck to get a good shot at Miriam if shes still outside. With his new clothes, he keeps a low profile, keeping his head down and not looking at anyone passing by.

He can hear more yells as he comes out the door. Apparently the people that are looking for him have not been very quiet, and the people at the front of the boat have discovered the dead body. Coming out of the bathrooms, the old man eyeing his back, Sinn immediately spots a good fella searching the halls for him.

Infiltration -1

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2701929/

Sinn hunts about for Miriam as the other men hunt for him, a game of cat and mouse as he ducks through the frenzied crowd. The relief boat has already swelled with people, definitely more than it's "safe" capacity and is moving back across the water. The crowd has definitely thinned, men moving passengers to the front of the boat.

Sinn keeps a hand on his gun as he heads to the back patio, seeing the flight of stairs to the next level, he takes it, cautiously moving up the stairs and around the corner. Making sure not to have a suprise run-in with some unpleasant company.

Sinn moves up to the next level, seeing another man in a suit patrolling up there, watchign down the halls, then down to the area below . He apparently hasn't noticed Sinn yet. There's a door leading into the main rooms area and lonuge on the second floor not far off.

Infiltration again -2, no cover.

Sinn sees the man, then the room. He weighs his options. Killing always being one of them.

No. Its unneccessary. My God. Is this the way I used to think? Was that the first place my head would go? I deserved what I got.

He keeps his head low and quietly moves to the door.

Sinn manages to slip past him as well, finding himself in what looks like a miniature hotel lobby, hallways going further into the boat to the collection of rooms. There is no one present. Who ever works here has apparently gone to see what the commotion was.

Sinn walks over to the desk and looks for a ledger of who is reserved for what room, specificly looking for Miriam.

Scanning through the list of rooms, there are none with her name on them.

Looking through the ledger, it takes Sinn a moment to spot a pattern. Just after seven tonight, a note was made to reserve the "Empress Suite". No name is entered. But the pattern repeats back through the weeks.

Sinn is suddenly knocked from his feet, the entire boat shifting , the sounds of a roaring explosion reverberating through the ship. Everything shakes, everything rolls as Sinn is tossed into the corner.

Oh what in the blue Hell...

Sinn gets up and dusts himself off, thinking he should look to see whats happening. He peeks out on of the broken out windows to try to get a better look.

There are screams as people try to get back on the boat, having been thrown into the water. It takes a moment to see what's really happened. Part of the boat, near where the small boat docked to unload, has erupted into flames. Some people are in the water, many moer are streaming away from the flames.

As he watches, the door bursts open, the guard outside running in.
Mistress ! Mis... who are ... HEY!

Sinn reacts as calmly and cooly as he can. Raises his revolver and shoots.

First shot

Second shot


http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2702014/

Sinn fires twice, the first round takign the man right in the face, the other hitting his mass. Sinn watches calmly as the man hits the ground, dead before his knees are down.

Sinn heads towards where the ledger says the suite is. On his way, he checks his revolver to make sure he has rounds in it. Its always at the climax where the good guy forgets to check the bullets, and when the moment comes to pull the trigger....

Click..!

Not this time. Miriam wouldnt be a freebird this time. He gets to the door, gun drawn.

It's nice to think that normally, his keen ears would have heard the commotion. Maybe it's the lack of keen ears, or the recent explosion, but Sinn doesn't hear the man rushing through the door until the door is flung open right in front of him.
Come on, we gotta get ... hey!

The guido almost runs directly into Sinn, who has the advantage of looking where he's going, where the man is looking back into the room as he opens the door.

There's that split second time freeze when Sinn and the Giudo both know its however. The gun fires, twin flashes in the dark. There isn't time for the man to scream. There's not much left of his face to scream with. His meat hits the floor.
Sinn starts to move forward, his 'Dead Man' sense going off as two more men in the room level weapons and him blasting away.

Sinn steps aside the door to take some cover behind the wall. He drops to a knee and opens the violen case. Inside is the Tommy Gun and the rounds for it.

Pays to be prepared.

Sinn quickly begins to load the gun.

The first blast from the shotgun tears a chunk out of the wall, the second one showering Sinn with splinters of wood much to close for comfort as he loads the drum of ammuntion onto the weapon. He hears the *chunk* sound of the breach loaded weapon opening as the man reloads. Then the blasts of the paired hand guns fills the small space.

The shots tear through the remains of the wall, one hitting Sinn square in the shoulder.

Sinn fires , quickly returning fire at the man with the shotgun. The mafioso is already moving, dodging to the side, Sinn's first shot going wide, the second clipping him in the shoudler.

Sin takes cover behind the wall. He decides a different aproach.

He shouts:
I just want the woman! I have no interest in taking your lives if you dont plan to present them to me!

Roll Intimidation - 2 (Include Street Cred)


Sinn can hear the two gunmen inside moving around, no doubt taking cover as well, one swearing in pain from the gunshot wound.

Is that you out there, you little bastard? A woman's harsh voice calls out. You seem to need to die a lot, you fucking keeb. One more won't be any trouble. Save me the trouble and time and leap into the flames, and I'll spare you the torture. You know I won't kill you quick otherwise.

http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/2762568/

Sinn ignores Miriam, though he makes a mental note of her "keeb" comment.

Gentlemen, it doesnt have to be like this for you. Her fate is already sealed. But not yours, not yet. You have a chance to walk away from this fight alive. You know what I can do. And you know what Im willing to do. All you have to do is walk out of that room, and you have my word as a dead man, I will spare you. Ive already killed 3 men tonight, but I have spared some who were wise enough to get out of my way. I am willing to let you walk out of here, but if you should choose to continue this silly fight, I wont only kill you, Im going to devour you. Is that wench really worth dying for?

Sinn reloads his pistols as he speaks, just in case his words fall on deaf ears. The tommy gun hasnt run out or come close enough to yet to reload.

It's impossible to hear what's going on within the room over the screaming and the growing sound of flames. There's a moment's pause then Sinn hears the woman's voice again.

You worthless bastard!

There's a scream that gets comes from across the room in an instant. There's a crash, knocking Sinn forward as a man is smashed through the wall Sinn was taking cover behind, knocking hom to the ground.

Now KILL HIM!
Init for next round

Not quite the result I was hoping for but it'll do.

Sinn crawls out from underneath the body and the rubble, quickly searching the now dead henchmen for anything useful before using him as a human sheild.

Init 12 - same time as "Henchmen #2

Strength Test-4

Gun shots sound as Sinn hauls the man up. Heavy caliber rounds pump into the body Sinn has on top of himself. It only takes a moment to recognize the body he's holding as "Shot Gun Man". There isn't a lot left of his face, but the build is clear. Thank goodness he's bulky, as his girth is soaking up rounds for him.

Sinn does his best to navigate through the room while firing at the other gunman. Once close enough to the gunman, he hurls the body ontop of him, hoping the weight will hold the man down, atleast long enough to stop him from getting shot.

Sinn lumbers into the room, trying to fire while holding up the dead man. Accuracy is out the window, but his erratic gunfire seems to be keeping the other man from taking the time to aim an accurate shot himself, as slug after slug slams into the dead weight Sinn lugs around.

He has just enough time to notice Miriam charge him, the fire light glinting off the brass knuckles on her fist, before she slams into the dead man. With one titanic strike well out of proportion to her size, Sinn goes flying back, her fist cracking spine and ribs in the corpse Sinn was using for cover.

Now KILL HIM!!!

The thug raises his revolver again as the tide turns.
