Blackmask sighed and went behind the bar, responding to the bartender's rather annoyed protests with a flash of the sword. After a bit of rifling around, the pirate was able to obtain some rum, and quickly poured a glass of it. Blackmask then walked to a safe corner of the bar, sidestepping a wayward chunk of flaming table, and quickly removed the mask to down the shot. Upon returning it to its standard position, the pirate pulled out the pistol again and leveled it at the cloth mage.
Unfortunately, the ensuing volleys were caught by a rather thick wad of scarf that blocked the shot at just the wrong time. Ripper briefly cursed and paused to reload, having spent four of six shots by now, and dodged another wayward fireball. The thought of using the sword or jetpack briefly skimmed across the pirate's mind, but it was quickly discarded; cutting the fabric would likely prove pointless when Eureka reattached it, and as far as Ripper knew it was fireproof as well, making it a potential waste of fuel. A bandage briefly swept across a boot, causing the pirate to jump back; any contact with the mage was potentially deadly. For the moment, it was probably best to just stay back and watch Thatix do her stuff.
