That bumps Hammer's set to 3x2

**edit**

That makes this Conflict a Wash, with EVERYONE taking an Effect. The bad news is that both Trojan and Hammer take a "SHOT" effect, the good news being that the bad guys are "DEAD".

Narrative forthcoming.

I'm giving Adam an "On the Fly" trait "Hooker Japanese", usable only during this first round of Conflict.

That said, CONFLICT ON!

Pick your skill and Team Dice.

Trojan uses CON! And of course I'll burn Hooker Japanese, if it's this round only. 7 dice!

Bad cop/Bad cop ahoy!

I'll play along; TERROR FTW!

Shit, that should have read "usable only during this conflict".

Ah ha, then ill roll con and save the trait until I may need it after the result.

Yakuza Guy will be using 10d6 (+2 for escalation) for CON: Roll 1: 10d6: 10d6(5,4,4,2,3,2,4,5,1,4) = 34

4x4, 2x5, 2x2

Trojan is using CON: Roll 1: 5d6: 5d6(4,6,4,3,6) = 23

2x6, 2x4

Hammer is using TERROR: Roll 1: 5d6: 5d6(1,4,5,1,1) = 12

3x1

This round will be a "Wash" if no Traits are spent.

I'll roll that Hooker Japanese trait:
Roll 1: 2d6: 2d6(2,6) = 8

Hmm. 3x6, 2x4, 3, 2. Still the same number of sets.

I don't see how Hammer could or would have brought his bat in with him, and how, mechanically, would he use his tattoos and mohawk?

I think a scary looking Viking with tattoos and a mohawk would make a very good justification for extra TERROR.

I get that, but then you lose the trait. For example, Trojan no longer has his shirt. Narratively, I don't see how Hammer would actually lose these things; is it ok to simply state you can't use them again and not physically lose them?

You lose the "ability to use" that trait. If he doesn't move on, Trojan will get a new shirt for the next adventure. I know after years of other systems that it's hard to grasp such abstract game rules.

Burn the tattoo and mohawk trait then!

Trait burn!
Roll 1: 2d6: 2d6(2,5) = 7 - Hammer scores a 2x5!

Cool. We'll end up dealing a first-stage effect to the guy. I think it'd end up being "Marked", from CON, as my 2x4 would fire off last.

Scare the piss out of him, then give him an easy out. All he's got to do is tell us how the job went down and who hired him.

His answer most likely will be determined by who actually wins this conflict.

New round.

All Eddie's got at this point is COOL, since fuck all if he can make CON work.

Dick's keeping on CON, since Eddie's "Marked". And I'm asking Hammer for help! My CON 5 plus your TERROR 5 = piss-pants Eddie, hopefully.

Hammer will aid with TERROR!

Eddie's COOL roll (10d6): Roll 1: 10d6: 10d6(1,1,2,6,1,6,6,3,5,5) = 36

Sets: 3x6, 3x1, 2x5

Trojan's CON roll (aided by Hammer, 10d6): Roll 1: 10d6: 10d6(3,2,3,1,3,5,5,2,4,2) = 30

Sets: 3x3, 3x2, 2x5

It's a WASH, with Trojan being DAZZLED but Eddie takes a second degree effect and is SUCKERED.

Quote:

"And worth every penny, huh?" Trojan mocks as Eddie sweats. "Bodyguarded him right into a shallow grave. I respect the balls that took, man, but not the brains. I mean, he's Old Man Takematsu's son. Dude ain't gonna let that go. Course, my partner here ain't gonna let go of that IV bag until you tell us who gave you the order, either."

Trojan mouths "Takematsu" at Eddie while Magnusson's busy cranking down on the morphine drip. If Eddie wanted to screw them, now was when he'd do it. Dick's fingers slide a hair closer to his Beretta. Eddie had balls enough to straight-up kill Noriko Takematsu, maybe he'd have the balls to stand up to Dick and the Hammer. But Dick didn't think so. Dick figures Eddie's smart enough to realize the only way out now is through. Play the hand out.

(Takematsu), Trojan mouths again. "All we want is a name, Eddie. You're not the kind of guy who works alone. We want the bigger fish. Make it easy on yourself."

Just a suggestion is all, edit as needed.
