James looks at the ostrich.
"Why the fucking fuck is there a fucking ostrich in the fucking pub?" he asks nobody in particular. He sidles over to the bar and reaches slowly for vodka and a rag, which he douses in whiskey. "Anybody got a light?" he asks. "If not, I'll just glass the ****."

Louis watches everyone panic and take up arms.

"Uh... guys? I know we're in a tough spot, but it's just a fucking key. What's the deal?"

He is unaware the ostrich stands directly behind him.

*? I saidthe saloon was empty, there is really not that much if any alcohol there friend.

The roller dings on rock!
"Congratulations partners! you've won your prize!"

A loud click comes from up the stairs, like a certain office door opening, the bird makes a half honk and rushes up the stairs.

"Shit guys! He's making a run for... something...
Maybe it's like a battle-ostrich and he's protecting something!"

*A little too eager for her own good she follows the battle-bird up the stairs. She gets halfway up when she stops and yells back down to the others*

"Wait a minute? Isn't Bambi's super-power the ability to talk to birds or something? Why don't one of you go and see if he can help us get past this thing without having to resort to violence...

...as much as I'd like to just walk by it I doubt it's gonna let me. And I really don't wanna tango with that thing unless I got some major firepower behind me!"

*Finished climbing the stairs, she faces the fighting-flightless-feathered-fiend. Trying to look as least menacing as possible she slowly starts to edge her way past it to the opened door. Hopefully she'll be able to get past it without spooking it or getting lacerated by it*

if this thing makes any sort of aggressive move towards me I'm just gonna back off and wait for help...
...but who knows. Maybe it'll let me by without a fight! And I can get whatever is behind that door!


Of course I'll share whatever is back there with the group!
...maybe

Louis is trampled by Piper's enthusiasm.

"Ow! Fuck!"

The key flies out of his hand. He scrambles to reach it, fearing it may fall through the cracks in the floorboards. He stuffs it back in his pocket before following Piper up.

Asides from the broken rooms of an old tourist attraction, the bird bee lines to the large door at the end of the hall around the corner. The door now open and ajar looks heavily reinforced like a vault, what is even more frightful is what looks like old but wired barrels of gunpowder, clearly in case anyone tampered with door or room.

<spoiler=inside the room>The bird rushes in to the room as if looking for something, but asides from explosives within, what takes the center piece is a green felt poker table, and the skeletons, real and nibbled clean in appearance. A single deck of red and white backed cards on the table from any simple store. Alongside a white card and three items.
-A gilded scroll that looks like a blank graduation diploma for high school
-A rather fancy file with an ivory and gold handle
-A Gold I.D card for High School. One side plastic the other solid gold. It is blank for a most part where a picture should go but has a bar code and a faded name of "D-a-- High Sc-ooL"

The card itself reads "Choose one for this round is done, be ready at sun set for the fun to come!" folded like a triangle standing up right it has on the back. "6-Bronze to move ahead, 3 Silver to keep ahead, 1 Gold to stay ahead."

The room itself is rather large and the bird is bust at an empty corner scratching and pecking at something, its legs asides from being scratched and cut, have with closer view small bites as well.

Tristan follows Piper and Louis upstairs.
"Hey you see the leg of the ostrich bites like bites of rates like Bambi and Tom have been fighting."
this is kinda creepy
Tristan walks closer to the ostrich to see what it is pecking at.

James slowly walks up the stairs. "I have a bad feeling about this." he says.
[beat]
"Probably because of the ostrich."

the ostrich turned in a flurry of flaps and mild warning kicks, in its mouth was a bronze key.

*Deciding not to fuck with the giant bird Piper explores the room. Keeping away from the barrels of explosives she comes up to the table with the skeletons... Narrowly avoiding making a lame joke about the Dead Man's Hand, she examines the items laid about...*

Ooh! That looks nice!

*She grabs the file, admiring it in all it's ivory glory*

"I call this one guys! You can fight over other two..."

*She stuffs it in her pocket, turns around (making a note about how... different Tristan looks, standing menacingly in the door) and notices the bronze key in the ostriches mouth...*

"GODDAMNIT! Why can't anything ever be easy. Fine, I'll help y'all take the ostrich down...

...anyone got an idea as to how?"

The look the bird is giving through narrow eye slits...
http://i.qkme.me/tub.jpg

Raising one leg it practically says "Try Me", if it was under control of Bambi you could call it determined.
*Telekinesis has no affect except maybe if you pull a feather, healing powers... *shrug*, premonitions? And creating light?*

Outside the saloon small beady eyes are gathering...

Louis looks out the window.

"Looks like we got a rat problem."

He heads downstairs.

Jack laughs
"there is nothing wrong with me thanks for asking"
its not so hard to act like i am nice thanks to Tristan. Wait my hand feels better then i thought it would, well killing time.
Jack focuses and looks at the bird he plucks one of his feathers from a distance.(to disctract it)
he lowers his watch to his knuckels extra damage.
hoping to shock the bird he charges forward.
if i can avoid his leg i can take him down easy. Its not like i haven't fought dangerouser battles.
he holds the plank in his two hands and has his knife close by (he also holds some glass in his hand).
He charges at the bird hoping it will kick then he will avoid the kick throw the glass dust into his eyes and hit his head with all that he has (he aims for his giant eyes after hitting him he will stab him in the eye).

*Tristan charges towards the bird*

Note to self... don't get on his bad side

*Piper decides to go for the sneakier way. While the bird is distracted by Tristan she sneaks behind it. Her plan is to cut the tendon in it's legs with her knife, making it practically useless.*

Look at that, Tristan is doing something useful. With him being the main focus of this birdie-bastard, this might just work!

*She sees an opening for her target and goes in with the knife.*

James rubs his chin. "Are ostriches epileptic?" he asks.
And then Tristan charges.
"Let's just... try and see."

He creates a ball of light in front of the bird, then makes it flash on and off, and changes the colour.

Occurs, the feather does little more then irk it while the ball of light is faint in the bright lamp overhead, one kick quickly followed by the other quickly sends Tristan in to James with a *Bamf* neither are seriously injured but pain is evident. Piper is whacked rather painfully by a kick and the wing to end up to the left of the bird.

Positions-Tristan/James left of the door, piper to the right of it.

Louis-To cool to be kicked/downstairs.
---
As you arrive downstairs their are forms and shapes as both rats and mice disappear from sight, in holes of the walls and other places. Sitting on the RPS Machine is Char the burnt mouse, Along with 4 large rats. they appear to have removed the sheriffs revolver and gathered a small pile of bullets, bad news is that it's pointed at louis. the commotion up stairs reaches your ears.

"Damn that hurt... Who's idea was 'attack the ostrich' again?
...Tristan? was that you?
...I don't like you very much right now..."

*Her ego hurting more than her actual wounds, Piper rights herself again. Looking over to James and Tristan she sees that their attempts at getting the key were met with equal success.*

"I'm just joking about that Tristan, I still like ya!
...I just blame you for the pain i'm experiencing..."

Give it an hour, we both know it'll be gone... Wimp...

"We need some help with this, I'm gonna go get Louis. You guys just... don't get raped by a bird, kk?"

*She leaves the room, keeping an eye on the ostrich. it seems to be laughing at her in it's own ostrich-ey way...*

"...and I'll deal with YOU later..."

*She goes off to find Louis*
