We've streamlined the process. Connor and Eoife stabs/slices/bash their way through, Charles draws aggro and cannot get hit. Michael and Harry just watch and wait for the violent methods to come up with bubkis, then we take over because obviously it's reasoning and talking time.
Frankly it's just simpler to eat crisps and wait for Plan A to hit a dead end. Plus they were fighting Vanilla Mooks, the red shirts of the World of Darkness.
Also I should be attending.
