But really, you're right I could give you numbers. I was going to, but then I decided I didn't want you to understand the vagaries of where you are in terms of combat and I want you all guessing. If it was a mundane set of events I would list the mods +/- and this would be covered by your combat skills.
As I'm driving this with story, those of you on the roof who prosper in the fight will benefit in terms of character.
Those down below researching will too, but in a different way.
Unless you die of course.
As for the shot, the nearest enemy shape you correctly identify as a giant bat/fly creature. Your shot zips through it like a hot ball bearing through blubber, the smell is similar. It screeches a deafening roar and collapses past you, it's entrails flowing and spurting ichor pumping from its grievous wound.
Pants et al on floor - I'm sorry I didn't make the library bit clearer. Jasper and Firenza explain their shreds of evidence in hushed tones to Phlegastus, away from Aiden and his still feverish reading.
I'll cover this in more depth after the bullet time otherwise I'll maybe skimp it a bit and that's not fair on you guys.
