Sir Reginald continues barking wildly from inside of the store, growling to a frothy fervor when the man advances before the canine retreats with a yelp and a whine on Jacob's arrival, relinquishing 'guard' of the situation to his human master.

 

With a closer look of the man, Mike finds the dried black substance to look like a at which psheen of congealed and hardened blood, as if the man had sweat out his own and then baked in the sun afterwards. His coveralls sport a name tag with "Jack" written in a half-cursive sewn scrawl; from amidst the tears in his uniform, Mike sees that the man is extremely gaunt beneath the baggy garments, and looks as though he may have had conditions of starving for quite some time.

 

Several yell back and forth, and the man continues his approach, stalled only momentarily by Mike's advance with crowbar in hand. Eerily, 'Jack' seems to register the wielding of the impromptu weapon, and is given brief pause--long enough for Mike to note that not only are the man's eyes empty sockets, but appear to have been bored out even broader than the original openings--largely, it seems, as if the flesh had been eaten away surrounding the ocular cavities after whatever hollowed them in the first place.

 

As much as he aims to keep a bead on the man, Mike can't help but be distracted, ever so briefly as it is, by the talk between Brandon and Jacob--and in that window, 'Jack' lunges with a shriek, clawing at him. Mike is able to react in time to lean away from the blow, receiving a trio of gashes against his shoulder where three clawed fingertips find purchase. It is clear to Mike that the man was trying to reach for his eyes, instead.

 

Further invitation certainly not necessary, a swing of the crowbar responds to 'Jack', which he ducks from, surprisingly spry on his feet! Shouting and chaos ensues in the next several seconds, each seeming to stretch on for minutes apiece. John nearly fumbles in his haste to cock and aim his rifle on the man, who tries once more to slash at Mike's face, who steps back fully from this blow--retorting with a frantic heavy swing of the crowbar.

 

The blow lands with a loud crunch, right to the side of 'Jack's head, splintering a piece of skull off as casually as chipping a tooth and causing the man to reel. Dirt and gravel is kicked up, Sir Reginald barking furiously from within the store while the others are still rousing within. 'Jack' shrieks bloody murder, lunging for Mike in spite of his head wound, missing again as Mike backpedals away from him.

 

Brandon scrambles to pull the .22 he picked up the day prior--and a shot rings out from John, but whizzes past the man without striking him.

 

'Jack' swings successfully against Mike, but misses his targeted slash--Mike's dodge of the blow isn't enough to avoid the swipe altogether, and he takes 2 hit points of damage.

 

Mike swings wide, in response, but 'Jack' dodges by a fairly large margin, by which point John has cocked, and begun to aim his rifle for a clear shot. 'Jack' swings again at Mike, but misses this time as Mike is ready for the swing.

 

John almost critically failed his shot, Brandon's slow reaction time has only gotten his revolver out at this point.

That sounds... excessive. I suppose that that's mostly a way for the Hong Kong government to show its concern to its citizens, and that they will remove the ban as soon as this awful matter leaves the headlines, but... classifying the Philippines as more dangerous than Iran? Really?

If a Duplicate or the base character is killed,

the others cannot revive him by recombining

— he stays dead; the character has lost a part of

himself. (The dead Duplicate could be Resurrected,

however.) If he later spends points to buy

more Duplicates, calculate the additional number

as if the death(s) had not occurred. For example,

suppose a character has eight Duplicates. One

Duplicate is killed. If the character pays another

+5 Character Points to double the number of

Duplicates he has, he now has 15 — the 16 he’d

ordinarily have for paying +20 Character Points,

minus the one who died.
