OOC: That's what narrativism is all about - you get to determine the
story; but it costs you Hero Points. So the less likely you are to
succeed, the more HP it costs.

OOC: Well, let's see...

The water gushes down the stairs to where Kalen continues to fight the two
Iron Guards. However, it is hardly an epic flow. Although steam sizzles
from the feet and ankles of the guards, they continue fighting the Dwarf.
Twice the guards strike Kalen on his head from either side, and the Dwarf
falls to the ground... just as there are sounds from more Iron Guards at
the base of the stairs and more from above..

[Iron Guards Sword 10W (down five due to water) versus Kalen Axe 10 (down
five due to previous positional weakness and -3 for two opponents), roll 1
versus roll 13, equal armour cancels, minor victory to guards, Kalen in
positional weakness. Major defeat for Kalen!]

OOC: Rotterex/Kalen has no Hero Points left, meaning that Erica cannot
spend any to change the result. Rikku can spend Hero Points to increase
the flow of water, or modify the existing flow (vague hint there). The
Seeker or Jareena and colleagues may also think about pitching in
somehow...
