opportunistic showdown

The Pan-Africanists were looking for a fight they could win. When four of their gang happened upon two Scavvies wandering the streets, it looked like they were in for a good time. There was a tense standoff as the gangsters slowly approached each other. Eventually the pan-africanists broke for their guns first.

Derleth, one of the Scavvies squeezed off a shot from his stubgun, dropping a Van Saar immediately. Then the PAs opened up on the two men. Three shots on two guys usually means a fight is over, especially at that range. Surprisingly to the Van Saars the two mutants dropped to the ground bloody but weren’t letting their blood leak out just yet. Their courage wavered; one of their numbers had already fallen, but no, they could take care of two shabby men. They were just men after all. The mutants stood up to faced more fire.

This time the heavy unloaded his heavy stubber at the two men, but only one was dropped bleeding. More gunshots were ineffectual. One Scavvy was on the ground and the other was ready to fight back. Seeing the resilience of this one fighter broke the Pan-Africanists. They ran, squandering their advantage and letting the Stacks see their shame.
