Hey you throw enough small stones at a brick wall and you'll leave small dents. >.>
Prolly though... poor Jesse needed another hit just for good measure anyway, in case he wasn't completely dazed.

Subject: Indeed Scrappy
I used to get in trouble cuz when I did fight I didn't fight like a girl. They'd be clawing and pulling hair and I'd be throwing punches like my older siblings taught me to.
Poor Khash was already hurting a bit it seemed like. Then to have Jesse crash into him.
Tis a day for brawling it seems.

Topic: Tales from the Smuggler's Moon
Subject: Scrappy Young Lad
“One, two, three, four...” The young lad counted under his breath as his stormy grey eyes, his right heavily blacked, tracked the three bigger boys walking past. He knew if they saw him they'd strip him of every coin he'd gotten hold of that morning. He had scrambled for those scant bits of currency and didn't intend on giving them up easily. To most they were pocket chance, they may never even notice he had taken them, but to him each one of them was a building block on a promise of escaping these hellish docks. He dreamed of the day he'd be able to move without worry of running into another and breathe without the stink of a thousand other people forcing itself into his lungs.
“Five,” the moment the word left his lips he darted across the narrow street, frantically trying to get back to his hiding spot before any of the other boys noticed him. He slowed slightly as he got halfway down the next alley, thinking himself safe. A grimy hand closed on the back of his threadbare jacket, yanking him backwards.
“Lookit 'ere. Jesse tryin ta dodge us.” His captor drawled, voice slurred slightly from broken jaw that had never healed properly, a mocking sneer on his ruddy face. “What'ya got worth hidin?” He shook the thinner boy soundly and grinned when he heard a soft clink of coinage brushing together. His two lackeys laughed derisively.
One of the boys went to grab his jacket to rifle through the pockets but Jesse quickly snapped his fist up, catching him squarely on the side of the jaw, staggering him for a moment. With a little grimace of pain he shook his hand and squirmed out of his jacket and the leader's hold, trying to dash away from the three larger males.
A deft toss of a bit of wood from the docks caught Jesse on the foot, tripping him and his cry of surprise was abruptly silenced as his breath was forced from his lungs on impact. “Lemme go! Got'ta be somewhere.” He managed to wheeze out, curling defensively into a ball as they proceeded to kick him, laying new bruises over ones not yet healed. He'd be more purple than white come morning. He felt one of them rip open his pocket, taking the few coppers he had managed to procure. Suddenly something in the boy snapped and he rolled away from them, springing to his feet with a grimace.
“Those 'er mine!” The lad growled and launched himself on the leader of the group, the one who had looted his pockets, and waled on his head and shoulders ineffectively. He was yanked off by one of his victim's companions and pushed against the wall. Some wiggling and getting his ribs viciously scrapped against the rough wall rewarded him with a brief moment of freedom. He felt a sunburst of pain blossom on his face as a fist connected first with his left eye, heralding a shiner to pair with his right, and then he turned his head just enough to manage escaping a broken nose. He was rewarded instead with a split lip.
Jesse was stunned momentarily by the blow but the moment he could coax his right eye open, the left wouldn't at the moment, he saw a couple of the coins on the ground apparently dropped when he had attacked the ringleader. He reached out and snatched them, taking off back out of the alleyway like death itself was on his heels.
The scant lad careened out of the alley, not noticing the three men walking into his path until he had slammed rather roughly into Khash, leaving a blood smear where his face bashed into him. He bounced backwards, landing on the ground with a pained groan. He looked up, one eye swollen completely shut and face a mess of blood and bruises and a look of complete horror crossed his face. He managed a look over his shoulder and noticed that his pursuers had skidded to a stop when he had collided with the huge man. He knew they would stick around and beat him to a pulp... if these men didn't simply kill him. He quickly made a decision, hoping it would be his salvation.
Praying that these men would help a scamp like himself out he took a ragged breath. “Cap'n! I be headin tae th' ship, I swar, was'en dallyin! Jus had'ta say goo'bye ta old friends,” he looked back up at them, first at the massive form of the half-orc, then to Jerico and finally at the shorter male, silently pleading one of them would take up his farce.

Topic: Gender Roles (an unorganized possible feminist rant)
Subject: You have me so curious now...
Just gonna say, I'm so impressed everyone's jumping out to comment on this. <3
As to getting together an all female gaming group there's a few difficulties to that. One, as it's been mentioned there aren't many female gamers. Especially not in a concentration enough to get a decently sized group together in real life (around here anyway.) I'm not sure if it is because of the level of experience, not being face to face with the rest of the group or some other amount of variables but the women on here don't seem to feel pressured to fall into a category of acting one way or another, in character or out.
Man I'd love to see the results if it did happen though.

Why is it that a fighter has to be a meathead? A good warrior has to be intelligent as well as strong. Sorry, just stirring the pot on that one.

I should go back to bed, cuz I totally just actually read mayo instead of mana...
Apparently I play rogues a lot, I've got rogues in three games right now, and since I'm only playing in four games at this exact moment that's quite a few. This is a new development. I prefer druids and fighters myself, but I played male characters up until recently too.

Subject: Gender Roles (an unorganized possible feminist rant)
So less on here than in real life situations but still in general when I see groups of characters the break down of gender usually goes something like this:
Males:
Fighters, rangers, clerics
Females:
sorceresssesssss(you have to hiss the end of that word for coolness,)rogues, bards, wizards, druids
I guess I was wondering if anyone else noticed the general lack of a pretty hammer swinging female barbarians or the rough and tumble Xena-like female fighter. When they are played they usually are a parody of sorts, generally half-orc or dwarven and considered "undesirable" as lovers/defeminized. (I may have made that word up.)
It has bothered me more as I got older for a couple reasons. One being that I know a lot of lady warriors, most of them in the Army, that are still amazingly gorgeous and very feminine that could probably hog tie and brand half the men I know and yet they're treated like less than women for not being at home with babies and something cooking. Another reason is the lack of diversity. In general D&D females come in some variation on two general ideas. Which I'm going to make jokes about.
Sailor Moon: The tall, thin, unearthly beautiful magic user either so slutty or so naive it hurts.
She-hulk: Gave up her femininity years ago to compete with the boys, probably would eat the guy who dared ask her out for dinner.
I know I've been guilty of it but part of me wonders why it is so hard to play a strong female character that is a fighter instead of a wizard. D&D gives no buffs or penalties for gender so it's not like it's any harder stats wise to play a more melee combat oriented female. Roleplay wise I can see where some people would have issue with it but it isn't like it's a hard concept to play. Woman take up arms for different reasons than men but ask any female innmate with children if we lived in different times and something threatened those kids she wouldn't take a dwarven war axe to whatever foolish soul did so, exotic weapon penalties or no.
Bah, I've fizzled but you guys get the idea.
Let's hear your own character stereotypes, gender based or not.
Note: There's nothing wrong with this of course, I was just making personal observations.
