Snippet #2658389

Lance's technique works as intended; the poor sap up front gets skewered, leaving his friend in a bit of a pickle.

The second highwayman was rather spooked by his friend's death, interrupting the reload of his blaster. However, the beastly human had another trick up his sleeve...

From a belt of explosives hidden well under his shirt, he pulls out a Silversparkle Grenade and lobs it at Lance's feet, exploding on impact. The small ball of silver scrapings and gunpowder doesn't deal much damage as it explodes with a weak *bang*, but the silver shavings have a profound effect on the warrior; as he inhales the fumes, he begins coughing violently, and his magic abilities quickly fizzle and die.

(Lance has been Supressed; his Intellect drops to -10 for a short period, all and any Magic influence on him is removed, and he is temporarily incapacitated.)

Making good use of his apt throw, he puts away his hand cannon and replaces it with a small dirk; with a great lunge, he stabs at Lance, piercing his shoulder.
