Simon whiffs his next attack when the fight with Retsam is interrupted. Not that he's unhappy to see Yffub. "We just met today. As if that word has any meaning right now." His attempt to sneak up on Retsam would probably have worked better if he had also shut up.

(Rolled a 7 to hit.)

(Rolled a 6 (Critical Failure) to Hide with Cunning Action.)

Simon glances at Yffub. "Okay, so after we take this guy down-hold still, dammit!" Which might take a while, based on his accuracy. "We need to get him to a temple of the Sovereign Host so they can do that thing with his head. He said something very concerning about having multiple bodies."

(Rolled a 8 to hit.)

(Rolled 8 to Hide with Cunning Action.)

If it was any consolation, that was more than a third of his HP. And it really hurt. Simon stabs at Retsam with the newspaper, trying to keep him at bay. "Yeah, same to you!"

(Rolled 18 to hit. 8 damage.)
(Rolled 14 to Hide with Cunning Action.)

Simon cautiously approaches his fallen foe. If Retsam shows no sign of being able to fight back, he will crack the vampire on the head to make sure he stays down. He then turns around to check on his father. Yffub hunted undead creatures all the time. She would be okay for a moment. Right? "Hey...mister. These guys didn't hurt you, did they?"

Simon makes no attempt to stop the minions. "Me, neither." He tells his father. "Listen, you'd better get somewhere safe. Maybe report this to the Watch." Simon was sure he sounded awkward. Even putting aside the current circumstances, this man was a stranger to him. He hadn't seen his father in several years, during which Thora Tavin and Jake had become something of a surrogate family. A scary, violent one, but at least they accepted him. Of course, he and House Tarkanan had their differences as well.

"I'll walk you outside." Simon closes the door on his way out of the shack, telling Yffub, "Be right back." At least there were people willing to join him on his misadventures.
