The crowd cheer at the site of a halfling attempting to wrestle an elf. People pay good money to watch this sort of thing in the seedier parts of some cities.
Filibert's target percentage for attempting to wrestle Elena = melee weapon skill (20%) + STR bonus (0%) + Elena's AC (-25% for AC16) = -5%! So basically Filibert needs to roll 01 - 05. Blazeguard rolls 79 - fail.
Elena brushes off the halfling's pathetic attempt, much to the amusement of the onlookers.
Elves really don't like to be touched. At least not this one. Elena decides that this runt needs to be taught a lesson.
Charm person on ... oh crikey, he's a Halfling. She decides to fall back on invisibility (on Elena). She'll settle the score later.
Freya HP 24/24 AC 16 (17 two weapons)
Kilian HP 20/20 AC 19 (18 no shield)
Talin HP 29 AC 16
Tiana HP 11 AC 12 SP 8/8
Fido HP 9/9 AC 16
Anna HP 12/12 AC 15 (19 defensively)
Bruce HP 20/20 AC 16 (15 no shield)

Third time lucky for Elena's Invisibility spell? Target percentage = 55%. Woe rolls 23 - success! Elena gets an experience check against her casting skill.
There are gasps from the crowd as the elf disappears. Filibert is most confused.
(Woe PM-ed)

Targus's target percentage for casting Magic Missile is 63%. Jandolar rolls 68% - doh!
Targus's base casting skill is 68%.....
It is, but his target percentage will be the sum of his base casting skill (68%), his relevant ability bonus (INT = +5%) and the difficulty of the spell (1st level = -10%), for a total of 63%. Make sense?

OK, tactical map updated (I've zoomed-in on the protagonists, so don't worry if you can't see the entire circle) ...

As his bolt flies wildly Marcus yells "Sorry!" almost as much to Targus as to the spectators.
Seeing Targus approach Marcus drops the crossbow and swings his shield and warhammer in place.

Filibert's jaw drops and he looks about wildly whilst scrambling backwards crab-like.
As he gathers his wits about him, he loads his crossbow and fires a shot at Marcus.
The problem with doing something really stupid to impress people is that they may just be impressed by how stupid you really are.
