|Value 1 = The School of Hard Knocks
|Effect 1 = You are a street fighter above all, and this is certainly a street fight.
|Value 2 = The Forms of the Tomb-Colonies
|Effect 2 = Introduce these dockers to the elegant fighting-arts of the Tomb Colonies. No one here is trained against a rapier or a lance.
|Value 3 = The Adventuress' Correspondence Course
|Effect 3 = The Adventuress' Correspondence Course had an entire chapter on waterfront altercations, with particular reference to the use of dock equipment.
|Value 100 = Your Own Fighting Style
|Effect 100 = They won't know what to do with a fighter of your skills.}}

[Opponent actions]
|Success summary = The first half, describing your current condition, varies with {{IL|Wounds}}. The second half, describing your opponents' actions in the battle varies with {{IL|The Airs of London}}. Additionally, the title used for your opponents differs with {{IL|Taking Sides at a Brawl}}.
{{Variant table
|Condition = Wounds|Effect = Condition|Compact = yes
|Value 0 = You're the only person in this fight not nursing a wound or two. You press that advantage, masterfully.
|Value 1 = You're a little bruised, but it's no serious impediment.
|Value 2 = You're barely wounded at all, unlike most of the others in this fight. It gives you a serious advantage.
|Value 3 = Later, perhaps, you'll feel the aches and pains of the wounds you've taken. For the moment, the excitement of battle keeps you from feeling anything. Your strength is unimpeded.
|Value 4 = You have to favour one leg a little in your fighting stance, but you're in better condition than anyone standing against you.
|Value 5 = Even wounded as you are, you're more than a match for the untrained fighters around you. And you're not nearly as drunk as they are.
|Value 6 = The pain is starting to distract you from the fight, but you can fight through it. You've done it before.
|Value 7 = You're in almost as bad a condition as the crates and barrels around you, but that doesn't stop you.
|Value 8+ = You're close to death. Only the excitement of the brawl is keeping you alive at all.

{{Variant table
|Condition = The Airs of London|Condition alias = Airs|Effect = Actions|Compact = yes
|Value 1-24 = The [opponents] edge between you and the crates, trying to keep you from running off with anything. But there are fewer of them than there were.
|Value 25-39 = The [opponents] push you towards the crowd, perhaps hoping you'll get mired down fighting by-standers: an obvious move, and a somewhat desperate one.
|Value 40-49 = The [opponents] swear pungently. They can see that things are not going in their favour just now.
|Value 50-59 = The [opponents] surge forward, angling to force you towards the river – but so far you're doing more damage than they are.
|Value 60-69 = The [opponents] fall back, trying to regroup.
|Value 71-79 = The [opponents] are trying to back you towards the Helmsman and away from the crates.
|Value 80-89 = The [opponents] have no more room to back into. They're fighting desperately at the lip of the water now, inches from the oily water.
|Value 90-100 = The [opponents] are shouting for reinforcements. Do they have allies in the crowd?

{{Variant table
|Condition = Identified with a Tradition:|Condition alias = Tradition|Effect = Action
|Value 1 = The School of Hard Knocks |Effect 1 = You swing; you connect. And when you put someone down, they're unlikely to stand up again.
|Value 2 = The Forms of the Tomb-Colonies |Effect 2 = You take out two brawlers at once: no matter how often they see you perform this little step, they're never expecting what you can do with your off-hand.
|Value 3 = The Adventuress' Correspondence Course |Effect 3 = One of them comes at you with a knife; you shield yourself with the lid of a barrel. You take out another with a falling pile of cannonballs. In truth, the entire dockside is your weapon.
|Value 100 = Your Own Fighting Style |Effect 100 = You throw them with their own weight; you happen not to be on the spot when they lunge. You are elusive as flame, unexpected as a hailstorm in Election season.

{{Variant table|Condition = Identified with a Tradition:|Condition alias = Tradition|Effect = Description
|Value 1 = The School of Hard Knocks
|Effect 1 = Swing hard enough, and occasionally you'll hit something that doesn't yield. Your fist is much the worse for the experience.
|Value 2 = The Forms of the Tomb-Colonies
|Effect 2 = Your parry and riposte are executed beautifully. Unfortunately, that doesn't keep off the pack of rats conspiring with your opponent.
|Value 3 = The Adventuress' Correspondence Course
|Effect 3 = The problem with an improvised weapon in Wolfstack is that just occasionally the item you seize upon is from Polythreme, and has opinions.
|Value 100 = Your Own Fighting Style
|Effect 100 = Your attack was fast, furious, and highly effective. Unfortunately, your opponent had an accomplice behind you with a very heavy cudgel.}}
