    The shot is wide, alarming the Crimson member. He starts to shoot as he moves away, firing twice before turning around and running.
    < EVADED X2 >
    His shots are ill aimed, taking cover not required to avoid the shots. He's still in your line of sight, for now.
    As you two keep walking, you start to hear shouting from a man who's attire and speech screams Twilight cultist. "-All of you sinners will perish! Death will come to those who rummage about in the filth you call light! The darkness is coming, the purge of the heretics and salvation for the believers will ensue!" The man exclaims, wearing long, red robes with a hood over his head. Mostly everyone ignores this man, but some stop and look at him, but not to listen; they have cellular devices out, recording him with grins, seeming to be mocking his sermon.

    Tachyon takes a deep breath as he chambers the next round. He holds out his left hand, trying to generate a bump for the man to trip on. If he does trip, he fires at his leg

    His speech carries to Dusty's ears a little before the man comes into sight. He stops just outside of the small crowd that has gathered, wondering what to do. He reached back with his right hand and let his fingers run over the leather-bound hilt of his sword, one of the few relics leftover from his monastery. It looked like he wasn't doing any harm, and probably could be left alone without issue. But if Dusty left too many public disturbances unchecked, somebody above him in the chain of command would probably see that he was denied transfer, again, if he didn't do something. He sighed, let his arm drop and approached the robed figure. "Hey, I need you to clear out of here, for being too loud in public. If you want to keep shouting, do it somewhere else."

    Bevery continued to tail after the man, watching the robed one in curiosity. She dug into her coat, pulling out her own phone as she started recording. The only difference was that she had a great view: right behind Dusty. Leaning on her leg some, she tried to get a better view of the robed man."Sinners...perish. Heretics.." She mumbled things to herself, taking mental notes as she tapped her chin with her free hand. She glanced about the crowd, seeing if any of them were TRULY listening to the crazy man's ranting.

    Unfortunately, you missed, the Crimson human jumping over it at the last second. You see the human running towards a floran

    @MilkCalf
    The one who isn't Amalga is starting to run away, starting to run in your direction, weapon drawn and eyes set on you; he doesn't look like he's trying to attack you, but it seems he's ready to fight back if you do make the attempt to attack him...
    The man doesn't stop; instead, he speaks louder. "Repent! Or suffer the consequences!! This is your last chance!! As your end is nigh!!" One of the bystanders speaks up after laughing a bit, "Shut up already, dude! No one cares about you and your self-claimed doomsday!" More fuel to the fire, it seems...
    < PERCEPTION SUCCESSFUL >
    Almost no one seems to be taking the man seriously. All but one... a burly looking glitch and they don't seem to be very friendly, as they seem to have been watching the Amalga soldier that approached the speaker very closely, almost waiting for something...

    'The Amalga aren't after me so I ssshould propably help. Heh, It'sss not like I would let a potential murderer escape anyway...'
    Snab analyzes his opponentand tries to determine what weapon he is holding. He wouldn't want to startle a gun wielding enemy prematerely and would likely unsheaten his sword the moment the target is at striking range. Against a melee opponent however, he would be confident enough to draw his scimitar early and wait for the enemy to make their move first.

    " Oh c'mon. "

    Tachyon puts up his ion rifle, he coats his left hand with hardlight as he runs after the man at full speed

    Bevery's eyes stop on the glitch. They follow his gaze over to the soldier-he couldn't possibly be wanting to attack him, could he. She takes a deep breath, letting it out as a sigh as she carefully pushed through the crowd, placing herself between the glitch and the solider. The solider was armed, and of course more than capable of dealing with a threat, but she wouldn't pass up this opportunity to see such a massive Glitch. Not gaining anything productive from the preacher, she turned her camera on the glitch, trying to make it obvious that she was filming him.

    A smile starts across Dusty's face. Well, he had tried words, and the man wasn't planning on listening to those. Dusty could feel the blood pumping through his veins, the will for a fight turning from a kindled flame to a roaring fire. "Sorry, but I have a quota to fill. You could have left quietly." He pulls his arm back, and with his lightning reflexes, slams his fist right into the cultist's face, hoping to knock the man unconscious.

    < PERCEPTION CHECK SUCCESS >
    < +5 aim against human Crimson >

    Your read on the Crimson was successful. You also can see that he's wielding a conventional, rather older pistol. He doesn't move directly towards you, since his escape path doesn't exactly cross where you are, but he is about five meters away from you at one point. His attention is diverted away from you to the Amalga that is hot on his trail.
    < AGILITY CHECK SUCCESS >

    You're able to catch up to the man, he turns around and fires once at you.

    < EVADED >

    His shot is wide once more, giving you your chance to strike.

    Either the glitch doesn't notice you, or simply doesn't care, as his eyes are dead-set on the Amalga personnel. Once the soldier punches the preacher, which you see just outside of your peripheral vision, the Glitch quickly brings their left arm out to shove a bystander hard, pushing them to the ground. They then raise up their right arm up and a gun replacing their right hand is fired: a slug just nicking the human before slamming into the side of a building.

    < STRENGTH CHECK FAILED > < 2 damage > < 18/20 HP >
    The punch is hard enough to knock the man off balance, but not quite enough to knock him out. His hood moved just enough for you to just see his face for a second, was that a glitch? The next thing you hear, outside of a few people gasping at your action, is someone yelp a bit then a gunshot.

    < NOTCHED > < 3 damage on Dusty >

    You just almost reactively dodged the bullet, scrapping into your armor and your right side a bit. It stung, but definitely something you're more than capable of handling. The shooter is a glitch, and they look a bit more dangerous than that blasphemous twilight speaker. Their right hand is actually that of a revolver pistol, and by the look of it--and what it felt like--fires slug rounds.

    Snab sprints forward and converts his momentum into a horizontal swing towards the cultist's side. "Next one will be lethal"

    (30 to 31. Sooo close...)
    < MISS >
    The blade slices through the air right next to the Crimson gang member, just slicing the fabric of his shirt. He whirls around as the blade just barely missed him. Now that he's being attacked by two people at once, he values his escape much greater than fighting back. So much, that he actually drops his gun and breaks out in a sprint.

    (Dusty is still right next to this NPC, however, so he still can make an action against him before he tries to run for it.)

    Bevery gasps, ducking some. Her fear was at combat with her curiosity. A gun! FOR A HAND! She raised her phone up, continuing to film the glitch. She realized that they were surrounded by people before, her eyes darting around to see if anyone had actually ran off. Better someone else taking a shot instead of herself...

    'Why do they always run! Son of a **** ...apex **** ... fiery avian **** ... shithead'
    Snab gives chase while making sure he's not in the way of the Amalga soldier.

    You seem to be the only one who didn't run immediately--outside of the shooter, preacher, and soldier. One person actually dropped their phone right next to the glitch and started to run until realizing what they dropped, making a quick attempt to grab it.

    That was a mistake...

    The glitch seemed to reflexively think the person, an avian probably no older than 15 years of age, an immediate threat who bent down for a weapon, aimming their gun on them. The avian glances up to look down the barrel of the gun that is no further than two feet from their face, becoming entirely petrified in fear...
    < AGILITY CHECK FAILED >
    You can't seem to catch up with the man... He runs down an alleyway and disappears from your line of sight.
    < MISS >
    You weren't quite able to pull off the attack, ending up with swinging at the air from a rather inaccurate attack. Fortunately, the floran was a bit away from you, or you might've ended up hitting him by accident. The gang member quickly changes from fight to flight, dropping their gun on the ground and breaking out in a sprint. He disappears from your line of sight when running down an alleyway.

    " Curses. "

    Now, Bevery wasn't particularly fond of avians. They weren't her most favourite race, and much of their kind was stuck in a state between barbarism and modernism. Such a state angered Bevery, seeing as those who were stuck in it had no drive to push technology forward. But this Avian, this...young, person. Bevery had issues. She quickly threw her phone into her pocket and rushed over as fast as she could.

    If she made it in time, the young woman would shove the young avian out of the way, pointing a finger at the glitch in anger."Does your almighty "Midnight" preach to you to kill young innocents?!" She'd yell at him once she got close enough.

    Dusty is surprised at the bullet grazing his armor, but that feeling burns up in the excitement for real combat. He turns towards the large Glitch, and his savage smile is now accompanied by the drawing of his greatsword. "Oh, so you want a piece of the action, too, yeah?" Bystanders be damned, Dusty runs towards his new opponent, planning to feint to the side after he fires again.
