Tully lands hard on the ground, but rolls backwards and onto his feet. A knife flicks into his hand as he drops into a ready stance. Damn arm - should have been able to dodge that.

Ruby remains smiling, although anyone intuitive enough knows her downwards tilting eyebrows tells otherwise. A pink energy spear forms quickly and lunges at the wall, sticking on for a moment for display. Was it her frustration of seeing the drunkards losing their inhibition and want to thrash the whole place, or was it fear? Ruby isn't sure, but the mess needs to stop, and she hopes Malta's "spear" may calm them down. "Yes, will anyone please stop fighting? Yes, please?"Ruby looks at the pub door in horror. Did she fail Malta's quest? Whatever may happen, she may need to station here just in case. "Yes, Tully, show him not to damage the pub!"Sana uses Moment of Action! on Tully, 1 Temporary AP and Excited buff.

Jace stopped, and at the same moment all of the animated glasses stopped. All of the antics being caused by his telekinesis came to a sudden end. He hoped that would get people to pay attention to him, to what he was about to say.
"Hear that guys?" Jace said playfully. "Geras is looking for a fight! First one to throw him out drinks for free for the rest of the night." The customers were riding high on the energy tonight, trying to fight it would be pointless. Instead, Jace was going to find a more... positive outlet.

Geras looks down on Tully from the top of the porch before feeling a shove. He turns his head and sees his own people pushing him out the door. "Sorry man! The man's offering us drinks on the house!"
The one who started it all takes a seat on the bar's table. He nods and approves Jace's ways. "Working with us instead throwing your powers at us. Different take, but I like it. You better not be lyin', psychic man."
The crowd hinders Geras' movement as they attempt to push him out, but you can see the strain on their faces as his thick skin makes it tough for him to move. Geras cannot move this turn as his attention is elsewhere.

Tully rams a fist into Geras's face just as the crowd is pushing it towards him. "Sorry, rockhead. Bouncer says..." as Geras's head is pushed back, Tully hooks his foot around the larger man's ankle, tripping him up, "bounce!"

Geras slides off as the crowd manages to push him over. Though it was a good hit, Tully feels as if he punched a wall. Geras gets up and moves into a stance with barely any safe openings. Geras uses Stone Mastery to equip two stances: Falling Boulder and Moon Mountain Stance Johan and Floydd can be seen putting their table back together.

Tully winces a little and slips a Super Potion out of his pocket. Using the distraction of the crowd and keeping the potion obscured by his coat, he sprays himself without anyone noticing - can't afford to look weak after all. That done, he leaps through the crowd, landing next to Geras in a position to leap aside his Geras's next attack. He puts his knife out in front of him. "Okay, last chance to leave without bleedin' gravel."Standard: Use Super Potion to heal 35 hp Swift: Disengage two metres Shift: Flutter

The onlookers and the crowd are nonetheless wiser of Tully sneaking in a super potion.
Johan notice Sana watching them glue together the table. They show no intention of helping the three of you out. "What? Are you worried about us? Floydd isn't the best in crafting, but I think we can rebuild it. Kinda wobbly like ya know?."
He shows his fangs to Tully. "Well I wasn't paying attention before, but looks you got some quality contraband." Geras stares at the knife pointed at him. "Pass through Rime with a knife deserves some credit. I'll give you that. I'll try to remember you when I stab her with them on her next run down here!!" Standing in place and with a swing of his hand, Geras throws a bundle of rocks right at Tully.

Meanwhile, underneath the bar:Ace had been put on guard duty by Jace, who knew this was eventually going to happen. At first he was trouncing around under tables and chairs, but after a while he got bored of that. Between his exhaustion and half of a stolen beer he decided to take a nap. In fact, he managed to sleep all of the way through the event until somebody smashed a freaking table. With a stretch, a quick readjustment, and a yawn, he was back to sleep. At least, so he thought. Something kept nudging him. He couldn't see what it was, and it took him in his addled state a while to realize it was Jace. For a while he was able to ignore the constant nudging, until he heard: "Hear that guys? Geras is looking for a fight! First one to throw him out drinks for free for the rest of the night." At that point, a floating glass of water was splashed into Ace's face. Shocked back into action, he shook his head dry.
He leapt on top of the the bar, knocking over a drink in the process. He stumbled a bit, finding his stance a bit unsteady. Still, he crouched down, poised to strike. Blue flames engulfed him as he rocketed himself straight at Geras, aiming to strike him square in the chest. A powerful, heroic strike!
Instead, Ace careened way over Geras's head, crashing through the open door and into the street. For the first time Jace broke character, making a face-palm at the ridiculous performance. With a sigh, Jace uses his Telekinesis to lift Geras off of the ground, hopefully making him lighter and easier to push.
Ace uses Flare Blitz!
Jace uses Telekinesis, giving Geras the Lifted condition.

The town stops. They look jaw-dropped at Ace, who is standing outside the door. Some whisper among themselves, some panic and run. Regardless of what they do, the crowd makes way for the four of them.
"That's- that's not how this works!" Geras says as his heavy body is effortlessly lifted off the ground. The fire from Ace's attack quickly dissipates at the air breeze flies over the snowy covered ground.

Ruby finally relaxes her forced smile and lets out a sigh. "Is that so?" Ruby speaks softly, a neutral answer to the bug duo. She looks at the carnage scene and knew this would happen. That was why she tried to serve water instead of more alcoholic drinks.
Trying to remain out of sight like a curious onlooker, Ruby walks to the brawl scene. She blows a kiss on her hand directs her hand to Geras. That puff of pink smoke of "love" whirls in a loop and lands the rock guy. Ruby decides to head back.

Tully smiles as he takes a moment to pause and sight up Geras, before leaping around him, ready to dodge and strike. Standard: Take Aim Shift: Flutter Swift: Disengage to flank with Ace

In his confusion Geras rotates upside down, casually facing Jace. "Turn this off bartender! This fight is between me and him. You don't want any part in this..."
He points a fist and a pack of sharp rocks shoot out, only to be easily avoided by Jace. Breaking his confusion, he manages to get upright but he scrapes his head on the ground.

Jace shrugs off the spectacle of Ace careening into the street. "Looks like he wanted in on the free drinks," although internally Jace thought that Ace had too many drinks already. He unleashed another telekinetic attack against Geras, this time thrusting with a greater deal of force.
Meanwhile, Ace stumbled around outside. He was covered in melted snow, so he shook off his coat. This, of course, only made him fall over. He stood back up and there were many copies of him. Many copies of everything. Forget seeing double, Ace was seeing triple.
Jace uses Psychic, Ace uses Double Team!

Jace's attack does noticeable heavy damage to Geras as he winches back. "DIEEEEEE!" He flicks sharp stones out with a kick of his leg. Most are headed towards Jace, just some puncture the bystanders near him. Geras pulls himself toward the ground, breaking Jace's telekinesis. With that funky power out of the way, he sets his sights on finishing off Tully.

Tully smiles as Geras barrels towards him. As is so often the case, the best way to deal with someone this much bigger that you is to use their own strength, their own movement, against them. As such, he waits until the last moment to leap out of the way, keeping his good arm in Geras's path just long enough for him to run onto the knife, burying it deep within him. Smirking, Tully flicks him between the eyes, hoping to either knock him down or disorient him for a moment. Shift: Flutter Standard: Assurance on Geras Swift: Dirty Fighting (Blind)

The knife cut does visible damage to Geras' tough skin. He yells out as his hands go from his stomach to his eyes, trying to grab hold onto anything.
With sight lost wanders around, he catches what he thinks is Tully by the scarf. "Hehe, you'll be the first victim in this joint. I'll leave your body out for the wardens to feast on!" Geras reels his head back and slams his forehead into Tully... Except Tully stands on the other side of him; watching Geras Head Smash full force into a thick log. His hands loosen from the cloth between the logs and his body follows, sliding into an uncomfortable position in the mud.
Floydd puts the clock back up on the wall. 20 Minutes before Mara arrives...

Jace had seen a lot on this journey, but watching Geras knock himself out was a real winner. Ace stumbled in over his unconscious body and made his way to the bar, trying to be inconspicuous. Jace had to get things back on track before mayhem burst out again.
"Looks like he threw himself out," Jace said. "So everybody gets a drink on Geras!" Jace figured that would be fine. Everyone here had enough to drink anyway, it's not like many of them would want more than one. And this way, Geras would pay for the stunt as opposed to the night's profits. He was going to pay too, or else Rime would hear about his little transgression.

After some cleaning and drinks, the crew makes the bar look almost as it was.
About five after Malta's expected return. She comes in, hanging off of Acario's arm. Outside she takes a quick look at people stepping over Geras' body and the fairly large crater nearby.
She probes through the bar, searching for anything to get a scream out. She sees the occasional broken glasses in the garbage but decides to hold her tongue for the moment. The patrons barely functioning right now as they had way too much to drink. Acario walks up to you three. "One less issue to worry about I see" As he points to Geras. "I hope everyone got your message." Acario puts a large bill in the tip jar and persuades Malta to only take 20%, giving you 80% for a damn fine job.
Malta walks buy and puts Jace in a soft headlock. "What ya trying to cover up huh? Even I don't leave the bar this clean!" She also commends you on a job well done. "Bar is looking good, since you can't stay can I ask where you are off too now?"

"Always return what you borrowed in better condition than when you got it," Jace said. "I'm not sure what we are going to do next. We might try to climb the big-ass mountain in here." It just now occurred to Jace that he was referring to a mountain within a mountain, but for now he decided to ignore that thought.
