YOU: Track their movements, wait for an opening, go after it, don’t get cocky

DAISY: You say that like I didn’t do this for a century before my uh… break

A lot of things happen very quickly.

DAISY FAVORED
 Each participant in combat rolls a number of six sided die. The side that rolls a greater number than the other comes out on top in some way, the advantage gained increases more and more with the numerical difference
 Each character has an internal "combat competency", this determines the base amount of dice that a character can roll, this ranges anywhere from 0-5
 Examples of competency:
0: Average person, not trained in fighting at all / informal training
1: Trained in practical fighting, lots of combat experience
2: Extremely proficient Fighters / Guards, people who make a living out of fighting, or have significant amounts of formal training.
3: Enhanced Fighters, people with capabilities that go beyond what training can offer, this includes people who have innate abilities, artificially increased strength, and is a base level for anyone who can manipulate scraps. Some Demons
4: Significantly Enhanced fighters / Dangerous monsters, Demons with extensive active combat experience, Unnaturally
5: VERY scray monsters, ???
 Characters will also get a bonus based on their equipment, this ranges from 0-5
0 being not equipped with anything, and 5 being multiple scraps.
 Lastly, there is the action modifier, this ranges from -5 to 10, and is based on the quality of actions suggested. Examples of the extremes are as follows
-5: Standing still while someone tries to punch you.
10: Exceptional / Unreal combat tactics.

Jack’s expression is flat, but his stance shows his nerves; or so it seemed. Quickly, his feet flatten out to a more stable position. He shifts his front foot forwards and dips the staff downward.
 

DAISY: There it is.

Whatever Daisy saw, whether it was an opening or otherwise, it was enough for her to launch an attack. Extremely quickly she pushes off the ground, lunging forwards rapidly, hand gripping up towards the blade of her staff.
 

Jack reacts fast, dropping his staff lower to prepare for the incoming attack. But Daisy is faster, and evidently more so than Jack expected.

As her front foot comes down, Daisy throws the staff forwards and drops her center of mass low. She lets the staff slide through her hand until it SMACKs loudly against Jack’s leg, at which point she retightens her grip and starts to rise again.
 

Jack, having regained his composure, lowers his staff further, trying to push Daisy’s weapon away. Daisy however, is still one step ahead of him.

As Daisy raises her body, she rolls the staff in her hand, and until it is higher on Jack’s leg, just a little bit below where his knee should be. Jack pulls his leg back, trying to get away from Daisy’s attack, but Daisy just moves closer, threatening to trip Jack’s back leg with the blade.
 

DAISY: Keep it up, any more good suggestions? Still wanna drop him on the floor?
