Combat (comedic) Timings

I asked for permission to share a bit of this log. I was laughing so hard during this I had garbage emotes/very little. Then it continued and I kept losing it

Vahi shakes his head, waving a hand dismissively, "I wouldn't worry about them - they're just having
a stroll, no?" [in Sirdabi] He rubs at the back of his head, "Either way - I don't think they'll 
bother if I'm around." [in Sirdabi]


You have emoted: Ighlaf hums at that, then resumes their steps. "All right. I owe you some food,
then." [in Sirdabi]


You walk southeast, with a slight slowness to one foot.

[City of Omrazir, Via Fortuna]
Buildings crowd the street here, making it feel particularly cramped in comparison to the broad
expanse of paving to the northwest.  Despite the closer confines, the walls on either side are 
rendered less oppressive by a pair of old mosaic friezes picturing a diverse and lively crowd of 
people who themselves look to be traversing the Via, the figures on the north side headed off in the 
direction of the Nomads' Gate, while those on the south side converge upon the widening in the 
street.

[City of Omrazir, Via Fortuna, Salwan's Street Eatery]
A bend in the road acts as a natural gathering spot both for pedestrians and a quantity of wind
-blown debris.  Looking to have been created by the collapse of a building on the south side of the 
street, a diminutive courtyard makes a congenial place to stop and take refuge from sun and wind.  A 
gnarled woody plant that is more shrub than tree nevertheless raises its branches just high enough 
to shield a battered pair of tables from the elements, and the smell of cooking and the sound of 
clattering pans comes from behind a latticed wooden partition.
A large menu has been nailed to the latticed wooden partition of Salwan's Street Eatery.
Fluffy clouds spot the starry sky. 
Cardinal Exits: east and northwest

The smell of sizzling kebabs fills the air with a mouthwatering aroma, while a large menu nailed to
the partition more prosaically announces additional fare.

look sisay
You see a rich-mahogany-haired cutthroat whom you recognize as Sisay.

dusky skin, and rich mahogany hair trimmed neatly to chin-length.
This youth appears to be in his early twenties, with penetrating loamy brown eyes in a thin face.
His warm dusky skin and coarse thick rich mahogany hair accentuate his Irzali heritage. Boasting a 
wild and curly beard and even white teeth, an ordinary mouth is set beneath a sharp nose. He is very 
tall in height, with a rather emaciated frame.
He has a discolorating bruise on the left eye, other smaller wounds, a faintly imprinted fist-mark
on the right cheek, a blood-prickled contusion on the left cheek, other smaller wounds, a small 
bruise on the nose, and a faint red mark on the mouth, and looks badly battered and breathless.
He is wearing: some rough common clothing and battered leather sandals.
He is currently busy.

[City of Omrazir, Via Fortuna]
Tall walls to either side present blank faces to the road, offering little clue to whatever lives
must go on behind them.  But this stretch of the Via Fortuna is preserved from monotony by the

haphazard variety to the streetscape.
