Kamda

The key to magic was misdirection. Give the audience something to look at while you performed the real trick. It was something he'd learned to do a long time ago, but it was even easier with an accomplice...

"Come one, come all!" Manny called out, raising his arms. Yes, especially you, Imperial troops... "Come and see the newest sensation hitting the streets of Kamda City. Lovely Leah... uh..." Kriff, he'd forgotten to ask what she was going to do, "... doing her thing!"

Manny gestured to his partner, and stepped out of the way. In part to give her room to perform, in part so that he could perform his role...

Leah took her chance, walking forward with a smile. She was dressed in a way that was...extremely eye-catching. there was a lot of skin on display in her gold outfit, and when she moved or bend slightly forward the men and women could see a hint of something...

"Hello there boy" she winked "want to see some special tricks? Come on, don't be shy. I can make dreams come true, and smiles cross every face. Come come, let's do some magic!"

(ooc for gm - doing magic tricks (using charm) to keep attention while Manny pickpockets. Difficulties please!)

All around citizens gathered, some troopers filled in with the crowd and a few filled in around the crowd to be sure it remains peaceful. A nearby officer even joined the display..

Leah, taking up the stage, will need to use her charm to keep the crowds attention while she performs magic tricks! However, dependent on her act she might need to show her skills with some sleight of hand!

Charm @ Hard for Performance, boost for familiarity with crowds. Bonus for leery-eyed officer.
Skulduggery @ Average IF she uses slight of hand.

Meanwhile,

Manny, doing his do, will need to roll a Skulduggery - Agility check @ Hard. Boost for familiarity.

Leah may give Manny boosts with his check at a ration of 2:1. Further, if Leah scores at least 3 success on either roll' she will grant Manny a Triumph. If she fails either roll, however, Manny will gain a Challenge Dice.

"Wow, so many of you! I'm really really happy" Leah waved, giving everyone a smile and giggled "it brings a tear to my little eyes" she pulled tissues seemingly out of nowhere from her top (which looked far too small to have that many!) and dabbed her eyes.

"Now then, onto the performances!"

Leah started some music, playing from a hidden box behind her simply by clapping her hands, then began her show. She made objects simply vanish with some amazing magic. Her slight of hand wasn't the best, but she was able to use her body to keep them focused on her - especially with a slight almost wardrobe malfunction giving a few people a little more than they expected to see. Totally keeping eyes on her.

(
D6ME performing magic! Charm at hard, boost from familiarity, boost from leery officer, boost from performer attire: 2eA+2eP+3eB+3eD 6 successes, 2 threat


6 successes to Manny gets a free triumph! If I can take the threat as strain I will but I suspect I don't get that )

D6ME Skullduggery at average. Destiny flip. Adding boost from performers attire because distracting body: 1eA+2eP+1eB+2eD 2 failures, 4 advantage, 1 Triumph


2 boosts for manny, use triumph to keep them distracted with her body and cancel out the challenge dice for manny?

(Triumph will have other effects)

While Leah did her performance, Manny slipped around to where the Imperials were. An officer might have something especially good on him.

He smirked up at the stage, watching Leah. From the crowd, he gave her a quick wave and a thumbs-up... and then he moved in, his nimble hands seeking prizes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Razzle Dazzle, 2b Leah, 1b familiar, free triumph, bad upgrade: 2eP+2eA+1eC+2eD+3eB 1 success, 1 advantage, 1 Triumph


+1 additional triumph from Leah

Leah was able to gather a large crowd, her charisma served her well. It was through this ability that she managed to keep a crowd at all, truly. Leah's performance confused the audience for the moment, as her hands were rather easy to follow and when she tried to make the officers wallet appear in her hand it didn't seem to work. However, Manny was soon behind and revealed the officers wallet instead to the amazement of the crowd. Shocked and thoroughly enjoying the show the officer smiled and clapped both of them on the soldier.

It wouldn't be until much later that the officer would realize that Manny had pulled a few key items out from his wallet, credits to split with Leah, the officers identification, and some kind of code on a piece of paper with insignia of an old bank within the city limits.
