Surely -1.

I gasp out in pain. "Please! Stop! They're broken!"

I puff up slightly. Yeah, I'm not just some kid, I--. No; now they knows I'm not docile; now they know to keep a close eye on me. What do I care what they think about me? They're killers and they beat me up!

One more hit and I'll be at half move! ... OK, that's an even dumber plan.

I must have a concussion or something. I could have swore I heard Reslin notice his watch was missing.

They're watching Julian more closely, not tying up his hands or anything, right?

I probably can't check the watch without getting them suspicious. I'll hum along to the music in my head for an hour or so before getting ready to drop it. I'd sing but that might be conspicuous. And I'm an awful singer. And I'm surrounded by a bunch of killjoys who are more concerned about the noise.

... throw away my shot! ... OK, that's approximately an hour. Now let's drop that watch. Hopefully dropping is as easy as picking them up.

Uh oh. Luck recharges at, what, every thirty posts? Well I'm blowing too much success to not use it now anyway.

OK, best success is by three.
