Combat
Phil avoids combat, but that doesn’t mean he can’t defend himself against the typical street thug. In most cases, Phil will respond to hostile customers by pulling out the loaded crossbow he keeps under his table. This is usually enough to give him time to talk such customers into going elsewhere. If pressed, however, he will shoot. Next, Phil pulls out his light mace and will fight defensively while shouting for Thurk.

Example Dialog

“Step right up, ladies, gentlemen! Try your luck! Test your skill! One little silver and double your coin if you find the little red ball!”

“Oh, now now. You played the game and lost. Care to try again? Double or nothing?”

“Now that was uncalled for. Ah, ah! One more move and I’ll have you pinned to that post behind you. You think the hands that spin the shells can’t pin a shill? Thurk! Come help these fellows find some other entertainment.”
