[font=trebuchet ms]Honestly, any single one of them could probably have taken this intruder in a one-on-one fight, for all their “honorable duel” blathering. Paper might have been willing to humor them insomuch as fighting them solo (though he couldn’t promise he wouldn’t kill them afterwards), were he the one that had aroused their ire in the first place. Clearly, however, this has escalated beyond an “honorable duel” into a no-holds-barred brawl, and he was all too happy to get involved. His new powers needed someone besides a crewmate to be tested on- what better way than in an actual combat situation?
Watching the enemy creature grow bigger as he ran over, Paper stopped a few yards away, pulled the ruby from his bag, and hung it around his neck. He didn’t need this intruder stealing his prized gem from him. Looking the intruder right in the eyes, Paper attempted to cast an illusion into her mind- if it worked, she would see the waves rising above her head, and feel water rushing into her nose and mouth. Making her think she was drowning may not have been the most efficient way to stop her, but he hoped it would throw her off for long enough for the crew to get the upper hand.
