Dirk shot the girl a vicious smile before turning to his men in mock surprise. "Well 'ave ah evah. Ah din even reckon wha' to bet meself!" His goons laughed, leering and sneering at Bender and his crew. "'ow about I bet ye a map as well? Ah win an' I get ye map? And if ya win ye get a map o' mine. Sound fair?"
The ugly man took his dice and put them between his fingers, ready to roll after the halfling.

Bender, when he assured her, made the Halfling smile genuinely, even if that smile was laced with worry. When she heard Dirk, she gave her own grin back, but it was a forced and sarcastic, irritated one. "Good. Now that sounds fair."
What wasn't fair was her roll! She shook the dice in her hand, releasing them, and watching as they spilled out before her. Her face fell into a look of disappointment and concern when she saw what lay before her. If she remembered correctly about what was explained to her, specifically about scoring, she didn't do too well at all. Not the absolute worst but not too far from it.
"Aw, damn..."

Dirk just so happened to roll a lot better than Steve, he did not at all seemed afraid of losing although when he won with a perfect score the man raised his arms in victory. "Aha! Ah win, t'is me lucky day." He then lowered his hands, holding one out towards Bender. "Now give me t'map, an' we can all get away from 'is untouched, ehehe."
Bender raised a brow. Now that bout could have gone better. He got up from leaning to the wall, and Norin just shook his head, though mainly at the captain's descision to gamble away his map rather than Stevie losing at the game.
"Alright lad, ya won. Now I'll let ya in a lil' secret I got." He said as he reached for his belt and drew his gun, which he pointed at Dirk."I didn' get rich gamblin' me most treasured map ta every low life scum askin' 'bout it!" He yelled loudly as he pulled the trigger from what could be considered a point blank range.
Norin hopped up, grabbing his pistols as well. Whether the captain hit Dirk or missed, there were still the flamboyant goons to deal with! Without taking much care to aim for a lethal shot he fired both his guns at two of them. No time for snarky comments about his captain's sudden descision!

Dirk was so certain of Bender and his crew being intimidated that he did not see it coming when the captain pulled his gun and released a shot. The force of the shot knocked him backwards and smashed his head against the floor where he grabbed for the bloodied-blackened spot, crying out in pain. He'd escaped death by only a hair.
"Arrgh! Get me outta here, kill 'em! Kill 'em all!" Dirk shouted hysterically. Two of his goons moved forward and grabbed for his arms to pull him out while the goons on the other side pulled their cutlasses and charged the dwarf, who's shot missed, some of the other goons closed in on Steve and Bender, not yet attacking but very much about to.

At least Stevie had that gun. That, and she had her size! That being said, she still hadn't been in nearly enough fights to cause her to know exactly what the Hell she should be doing. So when she was closed in on by the few goons, she literally found no way out other than between one of their legs or over the barrel.
The barell was far too high for her to easily climb over without potentially pulling it over on top of her, so she'd swallow a bit and run forward, taking a dive toward their legs in hopes to slide through. Whether or not that was to happen was to be determined.
Should it happen, the Halfling would turn and take a shot toward the man whose legs she slid through. Unfortunately, her shot veered off to the side and missed the guy completely.
Well, crap.
((I AM SO DAMN LATE SO SORRY OH GOD 8C))

Bender could feel a strange rage brewing inside of him. For months he had been comfortable. No one dared attack him over his map or treasures, and besides a few drunken brawls he hadn't been in a true life or death fight. It felt strange. The old man missed packing a decent punch once in a while. But it was a shame Stevie was here. Bender felt responsible for whatever could happen to her due to his insane outburst.
"Cap'n, we gotta run! We can't fight 'em off!" The Dwarf spoke in a worried tone as he was reloading his pistols at a rapid speed. Bender instead took his fancy sword."If ye two want ta run off ta warn the crew, I welcome ya to it! I'll hold 'em off!" The old man shouted. Norin couldn't agree more. "Stevie, don't get surrounded! Make a run for it!" What the Dwarf didn't know though was Bender simply wanted to finish the job with Dirk and make sure he fits his nickname better.
The old man reeled his mechanical fist back and smashed it with full force into the pirate in front of him. The force Bender used for this hit could very easily be lethal.

The two taking care of Dirk kept dragging him back although they would've been a lot faster if not for Dirk's writhing. "Ye, ye're dead. Ye're dead!" The man shouted as he clenched his namesake Dirk in his hand and then clumsily threw it towards Bender.
Bender caught the man in front of him square in the jaw, breaking his nose and easily knocking him out, meanwhile behind the captain Stevie managed to get to the other side of his or her assailant, her shot missed but the smoke coming from it made him cough, distracting him for now while the one next to him had no idea where the halfling had suddenly gone to yet.
Meanwhile the pirate left ran around the table in the direction of his boss, he wanted to block Bender's path so his boss could be dragged off. The pirate trusted his sword forward towards the captain. Meanwhile the one in front of Norin slashed wildly at the dwarf.

Stevie scrambled around. She wasn't quite good at fast-loading her gun like Norin was, and really didn't want to risk putting forth the time to do that, so instead she scanned the area for something she could toss.
Something big.
And then she saw it! A hunk of brick about the size of her head (which was smaller than theirs, but still significant) that had crumbled off one of the wall's surrounding them. It had been there a while. Hearing Norin's ushering for her to run off, she decided to have one last attempt at hurting one of them before she did as she was told and sought the crew. Maybe she'd go grab Hooke? Yeah, that sounded good.
To her surprise, her aim was wonderfully spot on and the brick collided with the man's head who stood in front of her. The force was enough, coupled with just where it hit, to send him into unconsciousness.
Eyes wide, she gave a sheepish grin and turned tail to run. Slow, but small. She could hide somewhere if she was caught up to, thankfully. If she timed it right anyway.

With the pirate out of his way, Bender ran on to get to Dirk. But of course another goon of his had a death wish. The captain shifted his attention on that guy instead, and easily sidestepped the pirate's clumsy thrust. He was about to retaliate by cutting his hand off, but sadly he paid no attention to Dirk nor his dirk. The knife, though clumsily thrown, hit its mark. Bender roared and went down to one knee as the dirk had pierced through his upper thight. Wincing, Bender pulled the thing out, but now he was open for an attack.
Norin too managed to dodge his assailant's blade. He hopped backwards and landed right against a box. The Dwarf was pinned, but he had had enough time to reload at least one pistol, and he aimed it right at the goon in front of him. His aim was quick and uncalculated, but he was at point blank range! Before this pirate could shorten the Dwarf even more by taking off his head, Norin fired his gun. If he could, he'd have congratulated Stevie on her amazing throwing arm, but right now he was in quite the pickle.

It was still not quite going Bender's crew's way as their captain was now injured, Dirk laughed as he saw the success of his throw, despite the pain he was experiencing. The goon that missed Bender didn't just miss, his sword slipped from his hand and klanked down the alleyway, barely dodged by the man it fell down near Stevie. The pirate didn't let that discourage him though as he raised a leg and tried to kick Bender in the face.
Norin's shot hit its mark, although not as well as he might have hoped, the shock from the pain made the pirate step back and recollect himself. The pirate who had previously been unaware of Stevie most certainly noticed when his buddy got hit by a brick, he turned around and with a wicked sneer tried to stomp down on the halfman. "Die mouse!" He snarled

Thankfully, Stevie continuously got off easy. She was still pretty surprised about how well her aim was, and how easily the man went down. That said, it probably gave the other man enough of an opportunity to attempt his stomp. She saw his leg move and scrambled to the side, narrowly missing the attack.
She got a little frustrated and moved to smack him in the groin with the butt of her gun. She didn't hit the target, but did manage to thwack his upper thigh. It more than likely wouldn't do much other than sting, so without a second thought, she'd turn to run away. "Hooke!" she cried. Doubted he would hear her, but maybe if she barged inside and heard her calling for him, he'd come?
She still had to get to the doors first, though.

Bender had easily been able to block this kick in the face. All he did was raise his mechanical arm to block the hit and that did the trick. With the momentum he gained, he stood up, but he was limped. The cut was bleeding and soaking through his trousers. Bender Of Iron Will wasn't the youngest anymore. The cut hurt more than he dared admit. But still he could work out his frustrations on the goon next to him. With his sword he made a stabbing motion, aiming for the pirate's heart.
"Cap'n, you doin' alright?!" Norin cried out."Oh just dandy, Norin! Can't be bloody better!" Bender snapped back. Norin grumbled something incoherently as he was busy reloading his pistols. This time wanting both to be combat ready. He did not notice the pirate in front of him had survived the bullet wound.
Surprsingly, Stevie had found the right place where Hooke was. A damp looking tavern called 'The Black Clam'. Hooke kicked the doors open, and was seemingly just about to leave the place when he saw Stevie in front of him."I thought I heard a rodent screech" He said in a disgusted manner."What do you want, street rat?"

The man Bender stabbed went down easily, meanwhile Steve just as easily made her quarry cry in pain, he tried stumbling after her but it was to no avail. Still it seemed that the men carrying Dirk off would succeed... but then down the alley there was the shot of a gun and in a flash Flavio appeared, teeth bared viciously as he stepped forward with bared teeth and rage in his eyes.
The shot had come from him as evidenced by his smoking barrel although it wasn't clear who the gnoll had shot. Without a word but with a nervous giggle that Bender might be all to familiar with the gnoll slid his gun so he was holding the barrel and then swung it at one of the guys carrying Dirk, who were quite startled by this sudden change in numbers.
Norin was having less luck in the meantime as the man in front of him bit through the pain and lunged forward with his cutlass, intent on stabbing the dwarf.

Stevie panted as she ran, thankfully fast (or jumpy) enough to escape this scuffle. When she approached The Black Clam's doors, she was surprised to see Hooke opening them and...
insulting her as usual. Sigh.
Stevie offered him a glare. "Stop bein' such a baby n' grow up, Hooke! There're bigger problems then makin' me mad. C'mon, follow me, I think Bender n' Norin need help!"
She was supposed to warn the crew, but she figured telling one and getting them to come and help would be enough. Hell, she'd even grab his hand and start to walk. ...Whether she got anywhere was debatable. He was so much bigger than her after all.

Hooke didn't seem inclined to stop being a big baby."Rat, you don't get to tell me what the bigger problems are, because despite your small stature, you're a gigantic pest to me." He snarled at her, but he did decide to come and help when his captain's name was dropped."Bender? What's he gotten himself into this time?!" He followed Stevie to the battlfield...
...and saw a lot of taken out pirates. Without hesitation he drew his rifle."By the Gods, I recognize these guys..." Hooke mumbled as he aimed his rifle, using the hook for a hand to squeeze the trigger. It was odd that a one handed man would use a rifle, but Hooke proved to be a natural. Norin was still busy reloading, he had no idea about the goon that still survived, luckily Hooke had a good aim.
Bender seemed relieved to see Galgahar Hooke in this fight. With him around, this fight was practically won, although these three were doing a great job at taking out their foes. Luck was on their side, especially with Flavio taking out one of the goons."There ya're lad! I thought ye'd be 'ere sooner! Didn' ya hear the gunfire ya deaf bugger!?" Bender laughed at Flavio as he reloaded his pistol and walked for the remaining goon pulling Dirk away."If ya drop 'im I'll let ya live, lad."

Because of the botched roll, Hooke gets bonus points. 1 = miss, 2 - 6= hit, 7-10= headshot
The one Flavio struck released Dirk halting the other one’s progress and on the other side of the field a gunshot put a hole in another pirate’s head. These goons weren’t great warriors, and what with backup arriving and the fight going sour real fast they dropped their weapons (and Dirk) and went running almost before Bender had spoken.
Flavio didn’t seem to have heard it however, with savage rage the gnoll bent down towards Dirk with his maw stretched wide open. It was a strange juxtaposition to see such a sharply dressed creature act like the monster he really was. If Bender wasn’t on time to stop Flavio the gnoll would tear the Dirk’s throat out.

Stevie couldn't help but groan and roll her eyes. "Auughhh. For sucha big guy you sure do act like a teensy bugger." She was going to tell him to grow up, but he seemed interested now that she name-dropped Bender. So she lead him!
When there, she decided to shoot at one of the guys surrounding Norin. She quickly (or as quickly as her tiny hands could manage) reloaded her own gun and took aim before pulling the trigger. She'd help from afar. No way she was gonna jump right back in when it looked like things were going to turn up for 'im! Hooke was there, and even though she wasn't fond of the guy (only because he wasn't fond of her really), she knew what he was capable of.
Yanno.
When he's not sulking about things that happened forever ago.
Unfortunately, when she took that shot, it whizzed past him and punctured the wall several feet away. Sigh. Too much movement, she guessed. (Or maybe she just sucked.)
