Savage Worlds Ruleset for Fantasy Grounds II
(c) 2009 Pinnacle Entertainment Group.
The Small Girl Ghost creates a lasso from a loose coil of rope and snags it around Zach's waist. She pulls him kicking and screaming out of the graveyard and proceeds to beat him with a swarm of debris.
Small Girl: DIE DIE DIE!
Small Girl: [2d4 = 8]
Uriel Iscariot: I wasn't aware kids got like this without large amounts of candy....
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): awww
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): not again...
Doctor MacVellian walks over to the graveyard, witnessing Zach being beat down by a swarm of debris and loose rocks, a rope starts wrapping around his neck as it forms a noose.
Uriel Iscariot: Samantha, Stop this right now!
Small Girl: (singing) I'm killing the Dead Man! It's his death and I'll sing it I want to, sing if I want to!
Zach Dallas: Hey, Samantha, I know where your Mommy is
Small Girl: (sniffs) I WANT MY MOMMY!
The noose untangles.
Uriel Iscariot: Looks at Zach Dallas
Uriel Iscariot: shoots an expectant gaze at Zach Dallas
Small Girl: TELL ME WHERE MY MOMMY IS!
The noose retightens and hoists Zach up in the air.
Zach Dallas: Only if you promise to behave
GM: Vigor check to avoid suffocation.
Zach Dallas: Vigor [1d6 = 7]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): oh yeah
GM: Well that's good, you can still talk.
Small Girl: (singing) I'm killing the Dead Man! It's his death and I'll sing it I want to, sing if I want to!
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): how high off the ground am I?
Uriel Iscariot: Samantha, is it by chance, your birthday? if so, sure, you can sing if you want to..otherwise...
GM: About ten feet. You are being slowly choked to death by the noose that is pulling you skyward.
[w] Dr. MacVellian -> Uriel Iscariot: I have a task for you, if you want to do it later
[w] Uriel Iscariot -> Dr. MacVellian: sure
[w] Dr. MacVellian -> Uriel Iscariot: So, the zealots stole my suit. I need intel, recon, etc.
[w] -> Uriel Iscariot: The moral of the story is...wander off and all your stuff gets taken. At least MacVellian still has her virginity.
[w] Uriel Iscariot -> Dr. MacVellian: Thy Preacher doth not assisteth in thy recovery of infernal goods! they be banished where fate doth let them lie!
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): oh, jeez. Can I cut the noose off?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): and how did she know how to tie a noose?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): what bad parents
GM: You can try. Answer to second question, those Jokers will teach small kids all sorts of important undead skills.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): attack roll? Agility?
GM: Fighting check.
Zach Dallas: Fighting [1d4 = 6]
Uriel Iscariot: Dispell - Etheral Noose
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): oh how proud I am
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6+2 = 5]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol
GM: Roll damage with your knife.
Zach Dallas: Knife damage [2d6 = 9]
Uriel Iscariot is using a benny
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} [1d6+2 = 11]
Falling Damage: [1d6 = 4]
GM: Zach falls to the ground with a thud, taking no additional damage.
Zach Dallas: Agility [1d8 = 3]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): well, that was an attempt to reduce the damage
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): but I think I just made it worse...
Uriel Iscariot: Now Now Samantha, thy lack of temperance and placidness does not befit a child of the Lord
Small Girl: Uhh...preacher...I'm dead. I am pretty sure the Lord has forsaken me. But sure, we can pretend like I'm a good kid. How about you come out of the graveyard with my corpse and we play a nice game of tiddlywinks?
Zach Dallas: Hey, Samantha, the burning man told you you could find your mommy if you killed me, right?
Small Girl: (singing) I'm killing the Dead Man! It's his death and I'll sing it I want to, sing if I want to!
Zach Dallas: But he was the one who took your mommy away from you, why do you think he's telling the truth?
Uriel Iscariot: Nay. The Lord is not the lord of the dead, but the lord of the living! You are not dead, so much have not found your life eternal in him and his glory!
Small Girl: (sniff) I WANT MY MOMMY!
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [Critical failure!] [1d4 = 1]
Zach Dallas is using a benny
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 5]
Uriel Iscariot: Shed your bonds to this world now; the kingdom of the lord is Here, and thee are blind to it!
Uriel Iscariot: {continunes digging}
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): is that one going to make me cry?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): should I just benny again?
GM: Okay, that jumps her from "Excessively Violent and Hostile toward the entire party" to "Homicidal only towards Zach Dallas"
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): hoorah!
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): how long do I have to wait for the next roll? I'll wear her down until I'm out of bennies!
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): at which point I'll invariably put her back to "Ecessive Violent and Hostile"
TADM: Given this group, I'd keep at least 1 benny in reserve for tonight.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): am I still wet?
TADM: No.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol awww
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): slick with blood? yes
Uriel Iscariot: Raise Stat{strength} on Self to dig faster.
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} [1d8+2 = 9]
Zach Dallas: moves toward the graveyard
Uriel Iscariot: Give me thy stregnth lord, to finish thy work...
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): has the sprite noticed me yet?
GM: If she has, she is not paying attention to you.
GM: Notice checks please
Dr. MacVellian: Notice {+2 Alertness} [1d8+2 = 4]
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 5]
Zach Dallas: Notice [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 5]
The group notices a large burly man wearing a blacksmith's smock walking in to the graveyard from the eastern entrance. He is carrying a pair of shovels. The man waves at Uriel.
Jonah Thurgood: Hail there, what are you doing in this graveyard this time of day?
Small Girl: HELP! The evil priest has my body and is doing horrible things to it!
Jonah Thurgood: Oh shut up Samantha.
Uriel Iscariot: Peace of the Lord be with you. This lass be trapped to this world, an' her we suffereth her wrath.....
Small Girl: WAAAAHHHH!
Jonah Thurgood: I see. Here, have a shovel.
Jonah Thurgood: I'm Jonah Thurgood by the way, town blacksmith.
Uriel Iscariot: Hey there
Uriel Iscariot: Thanks!
Zach Dallas: Pleasure to meet you!
Uriel Iscariot: Notice{Shovel}
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [Critical failure!] [1d6 = 1]
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): SNAKE EYES!!!
Small Girl: I want my body back!
Dr. MacVellian: walks into the graveyard before i incite her wrath
GM: Yep, it looks like a shovel all right. You grab the wide end and shove the pole into the ground. It does not move dirt very well.
Jonah Thurgood: Little slow on the uptake are you?
Uriel Iscariot: Forgiveth us, for we hath been made to bear the wrath of this child
Jonah Thurgood: (looks at MacVellian) Hello there ma'am, nice to meet you.
Uriel Iscariot: Alas, till dust hath returneth to dust, this child will not know peace, nor shall we be spareth her fury
Jonah Thurgood: Well yeah, you probably ran into the school, didn't you?
Small Girl: I WANT MY BODY BACK!
Zach Dallas: Yup
Zach Dallas: She appears to have something against me
Small Girl: He's the Dead Man! If we kill him all will be right in Coffin Rock!
Jonah Thurgood: (looks suspiciously at Zach) Hmmm....
Dr. MacVellian: Nice to meet you too, sir
Zach Dallas: Not quite
A swarm of debris clatters against the gates of the cemetery but does not enter it.
Zach Dallas: How long have things been so bad here?
Jonah Thurgood: (hands Zach a shovel) Dig. If you are the Dead Man, I want to see if lightning strikes when you defile hallowed ground.
Zach Dallas: HAHA
Zach Dallas: Sure thing, that sounds amusing
Zach Dallas: goes to help Uriel
Uriel Iscariot: Tell me thus, who be this Dead Man that you so speaketh of?
Small Girl: HIM!
Zach Dallas: But WHY me?
Zach Dallas: continues shoveling
Small Girl: It's him! Kill him! All will be right in Coffin Rock if he dies!
Jonah Thurgood: Well, I'm not buying it, so be quiet Samantha.
[w] Zach Dallas: how long have I had this Dead Man problem? Three weeks?
Uriel Iscariot: Zach hath not been to this town before this day dawned. How is it that he should be at the root of thy affliction?
Dr. MacVellian: Are you her father or something?
[w] -> Zach Dallas: However long it has been since you first met Miss Grey.
Dr. MacVellian: It seems rather unusual that you know her name and seem unsurprised by her being there
[w] Zach Dallas: yeah, I just can't remember lol
Jonah Thurgood: Me, no. But you aren't the first ones to encounter her. I buried the last group when she was done tormenting them. Evidently she likes me enough not to kill me.
Small Girl: (sniff) It's because Jonah let me ride on his ponies! He's a nice man. He'll be even nicer if he kills the Dead Man.
Zach Dallas: I wish I were that lucky
Zach Dallas: How would that make him nicer?!
Uriel Iscariot: Begins praying for the repose of such a violent and tormented soul...
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Yeah, it has been about 3 weeks.
Small Girl: Because you'd be dead, finally, like you are supposed to be.
Jonah Thurgood: Now Samantha, that's not a nice thing to say.
Zach Dallas: If I was supposed to be dead I would've died three weeks ago when I got this stupid thing
Zach Dallas: points above his head
Uriel Iscariot: Where Zach Dallas is pointing to.
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 10]
Small Girl: FINE! I can't stop you from defiling my body. I'm just going to go get help that can.
Dr. MacVellian: Also where he's pointing
Dr. MacVellian: Notice {+2 Alertness} [1d8+2 = 9]
[w] Zach Dallas: did I get this for surviving that duel due to foreign shenanigans?
The sound of small barefeet running off in the distance signals Samantha's departure.
GM: No one sees anything unusual where Zach is pointing.
Jonah Thurgood: Well, that can't be good.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Oh look what you did Zach, you pulled more adds we cant even deal with now, good job.
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Maybe....
Zach Dallas: Should I try to lure her back?
Jonah Thurgood: Just dig faster.
Zach Dallas: Strength [1d6 = 4]
Uriel Iscariot: Strength [1d6 = 8]
Zach Dallas: So, how long ago did she vanish?
Uriel and Zach dig a grave. Uriel clearly has been watching MacVellian's excavation process and learned a few things from it.
Jonah Thurgood: Who? Samantha? Probably a month ago. Just before this town began its descent into Hell.
Zach Dallas: Would you say more or less than 3 weeks?
Jonah Thurgood: Well, that looks like a good enough hole, put her in and say a few nice things priest.
Uriel Iscariot: Kn Bible [1d6 = 10]
Jonah Thurgood: Definitely more than three. Oh, and nice absence of lightning strikes. Maybe you are not the Dead Man. Maybe you are. Don't make a difference to me.
Jonah Thurgood: Now, I'll take my shovels back. I have work to do.
Uriel Iscariot: But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side, and there is no adversary or disaster.
Uriel Iscariot: Waves around fancy religious symbols and carries on
[w] -> Uriel Iscariot: Are you waving the "special" cross?
[w] Uriel Iscariot: GM sure. Lets see what this puppy can do
Zach Dallas: Need a hand with any of your work?
Zach Dallas: I figure we owe you a bit
Uriel Iscariot: Let thy sacrifice of thy savior carry you to thy father's place, young one.
Zach Dallas: hat is off for Sammy's funeral
Uriel Iscariot: In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti.
Uriel finishes saying his prayers over the corpse. He waves a cross that looks like it is made of driftwood around. There is a flash of white light. The church bell tolls once. Everyone feels slightly "tingly" for a couple seconds.
Jonah Thurgood: Huh...that's odd.
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): ex-nay on the in-say
The man collects his shovels from Uriel and Zach and walks out of the graveyard and toward the blacksmith shop.
Uriel Iscariot: Is it a good tingle, or a bad tingle?
Uriel Iscariot: Kn Occult [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 2]
GM: It is a good tingle. You also smell honey and bread.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): MMMM!! the tingle of spearmint gum!
[w] Zach Dallas: does the Tingly remind me of anything from my "past experiences"?
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Nope.
GM: Okay, so now what?
Uriel Iscariot: So...what is off Jonah?
Dr. MacVellian: I'm curious about that too
Uriel Iscariot: What be-eth odd?
GM: He walked off, are you chasing after him?
Uriel Iscariot: Yes.
Zach Dallas: Follows Uriel
Zach Dallas: Hey, Doc, where's your gun?
Dr. MacVellian: Don't ask
Dr. MacVellian: follows the group
The group enters the blacksmith shop. There is a collection of various pieces of mining gear, horseshoes, and other such items lying around. Jonah sets the shovels down as you enter.
GM: Smarts checks.
Uriel Iscariot: Smarts [1d6 = 5]
Dr. MacVellian: Smarts [1d12 = 7]
Zach Dallas: Smarts [Critical failure!] [1d8 = 1]
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): SNAKE EYES!
Zach Dallas: I'LL KEEP IT
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): On a related note, I have no intention of helping anymore
Zach Dallas: I'm not good with machines to begin with
Zach Dallas: but this is a bit beyond me
Uriel Iscariot: There is no knowledge that is unknowable, Zach....
Zach is wowed by a collection of bear traps and tries to fit his head in one. Fortunately Jonah stops him at the last second.
Jonah Thurgood: Hmm...bit suicidal are you?
Uriel Iscariot: Do not take thy life in vain, lest you be cast into firey sheol!
Uriel Iscariot: Restrain Zach
Uriel Iscariot: Strength [1d6 = 3]
Uriel and MacVellian note that the windows are soot covered, the mirror has been covered by a cloth, and there is not a single reflective surface anywhere in this building.
Zach Dallas: Strength [1d6 = 3]
Dr. MacVellian: waits for zach to try to use them as dentures
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): that would be terrifying
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): new worst nightmare
Uriel Iscariot: Yes, so Jonah, first, thanks for your assistance.
Uriel Iscariot: You are truly a son of the LORD
Dr. MacVellian: And for your hospitality
Jonah Thurgood: No problem. I heard Samantha yelling when I took a break from hammering and decided to see what she was making a fuss about.
Zach Dallas: I'm glad you came with shovels
Jonah Thurgood: Eh, I came back for them when I saw you in the graveyard.
Dr. MacVellian: Figured Samantha was going to kill us, right?
Jonah Thurgood: Help yourself to some water if you need it, the pump goes to the well out back.
Uriel Iscariot: Boost Stat {spirit} Self
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} [1d8+2 = 8]
Uriel Iscariot: Hrm, mind if I take a look in that mirror?
Jonah Thurgood: Well, that or you were trying to....NO.
Uriel Iscariot: !
Jonah Thurgood: Do not touch the mirror.
Zach Dallas: Come to think of it, why is it covered?
Jonah Thurgood: So help me priest, you can say Mass without hands. So don't touch the mirror.
Jonah picks up a very sharp looking axe.
Jonah Thurgood: I've heard all sorts of things from people about mirrors and reflections. I don't want any in here. Call it superstitious but I think whatever bad things are going on, IT watches us through mirrors.
Dr. MacVellian: Why not just destroy the mirror, then?
Jonah Thurgood: Break a mirror? That's like seven years bad luck.
Jonah Thurgood: I don't need any more of that.
Zach Dallas: Plus, you're left with a ton of tiny mirrors
Jonah Thurgood: That too.
Zach Dallas: good luck covering all of those
Uriel Iscariot: I see. Then I would ask forgivness of thee for raising a clamor about it.
Jonah Thurgood: Done. Just don't touch the mirror or clean off the windows.
Uriel Iscariot: However, thy spoke that something was amiss at the graveyard, what specifically was out of the ordinary?
Jonah Thurgood: Well gee...have you looked around town much? Or was the rampaging child poltergeist not enough of a tip off for you?
Dr. MacVellian: We just arrived today
Jonah Thurgood: My condolences.
Dr. MacVellian: Seems like the sheriff is a mite...tempermental.
Jonah Thurgood: Yeah, well, I don't have much use for him.
Zach Dallas: He didn't handle Samantha well, though
Jonah Thurgood: He leaves me alone, I leave him alone.
Uriel Iscariot: Well' ya see Jonah, the thing is, with all that is amiss' round 'ere, im curious as to what would have you say "that's odd"
Jonah Thurgood: The whole flash of white light thing. And the smell of bread and honey. Made me think that might have been an actual honest-to-goodness miracle of some type. And what good folk are left in this town need that kind of thing.
Uriel Iscariot: I see. Clearly you haveth retained thy wits amidst this sea of insanity.
Zach Dallas: Quite a feat
Uriel Iscariot: Time of Day
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 11]
Jonah Thurgood: Well, just trying to help out those who can't leave for whatever reason.
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): it's not a sea of insanity, it's a shitstorm!
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Tis a sea of insanity and immorality, and by my heavenly father's will, i shall part it, such that souls may leave it's grasp!
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): its grasp
GM: It is about three'o'clock. And that does not really need a notice check. With your notice check, you determine that, as of the beep, it will be 3:01:45.7281.
Uriel Iscariot: That is very noble of thee, Jonah
Jonah Thurgood: Well, I kind of like it here, well, how it was, not how it is.
Uriel Iscariot: I see.
Dr. MacVellian: How was it before?
Jonah Thurgood: This was a nice place, lots of families here, miners in the hills. A boomtown with a lot going on. People were generally friendly and helpful.
Jonah Thurgood: But things changed, started slow and then picked up pace of late. I get the feeling something bad is happening, and it is not going to end well for anyone.
Zach Dallas: Hmm
Jonah Thurgood: First miners came up missing, then there was talk of fiends in the hills.
Dr. MacVellian: Any idea what may have started it?
Jonah Thurgood: No idea what started it, why it is happening, or how to stop it.
Uriel Iscariot: We shall delivereth thee out of this whale's belly, out of this leviathan that hath consumeth thy village!
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): (not my fault he was named Jonah)
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): XD
TADM: And that was benny worthy....
Uriel Iscariot has been awarded a benny
Jonah Thurgood: Well, that's right nice of you to say.
TADM: Good, he'll need it for Healing.
Zach Dallas: I think I'd like to figure out what's going on here
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): Better he be more like that Jonah than like Jonah Hex
Zach Dallas: It's clearly got something against me
Jonah Thurgood: Well, I need to get back to work. If you need anything more from me, stop back and ask.
Zach Dallas: Hey, Jonah, have there been any rumors involving a burning man?
Uriel Iscariot: Well, one thing in particular we are seeking
Jonah Thurgood: Err...yeah. The burning men are in the hills. They hunt down miners.
Uriel Iscariot: 0.0
Uriel Iscariot: Kn Occult [1d6 = 4]
Zach Dallas: Hm. Sammy mentioned something about one, so I think that's what got her
[w] -> Uriel Iscariot: You have no ideas on this one. Other than some devilry must be at work!
Jonah Thurgood: Wouldn't doubt it. Although none of them have come into town yet. I imagine they will when they run out of miners and bandits to feed on in the hills.
Zach Dallas: Well, thank you for the information
Zach Dallas: turns to Uriel
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): your turn
Uriel Iscariot: One last thing, if thy could answer
Uriel Iscariot: We hath been instructed to find John Daly, doth thy knowest where he be?
Jonah Thurgood: Sure.
He points to the large mausoleum in the graveyard that said, "Daly."
Zach Dallas: Hot damn, this just became a bit more difficult
Jonah Thurgood: John died about three weeks ago. According to the sheriff he was shot in the back by a drunk miner who accused him of claim-stealing.
Uriel Iscariot: Hrm. I thought Wyatt would have known if a "good friend" checked out like that....
[w] Dr. MacVellian: Would Dial happen to have been related to Daly? (or, should I say Dyal)
Uriel Iscariot: Ah I see. Recently eh? How did such a large mausoleum get build in three weeks?!
[w] -> Dr. MacVellian: Nope.
Zach Dallas: family mausoleum?
Jonah Thurgood: John built it about a year ago, when the town was booming. Wanted a place to be remembered when he passed. Of course, he wasn't planning on using it for forty or so years.
Dr. MacVellian: Hmmm a miner shoots Daly, then creatures start hunting down miners. Strange coincidence
Uriel Iscariot: I see. Thank thee for thy time and thy tolerance.
Jonah Thurgood: No problem, stop by again.
He gets out a pair of "Smith and Robards" ear muffs and slips them on, so he can work without damaging his hearing.
GM: Now where?
Zach Dallas: check out the Mayor's office, I guess
Zach Dallas: might as well see who replaced him, if anyone
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): Or to the sheriff's. If we're headed to the hills, I'd like my guns first
Uriel Iscariot: Nay.
Zach Dallas: Sure
Zach Dallas: Hey, if "it" watches through mirrors....
Uriel Iscariot: I reckon that this tree be rotten from the trunk, yet not all of the branches have yet been accursed, as is the case of Jonah
Zach Dallas: do you remember seeing a strange, reflective object earlier?
Uriel Iscariot: I doubt we should find that any authority figure hath retained their good judgement and moral composure
Uriel Iscariot: Why yes, you were there as well
Uriel Iscariot: Surely thy remembereth the object given the clamity thy caused by inspecting it
Zach Dallas: Painful, depressing calamity
Uriel Iscariot: I say we findeth the local press an' try an weave us a story of this town
Zach Dallas: Actually I was going to suggest that
Zach Dallas: hopefully, they've got some stories we can piece together
Uriel Iscariot: Am I cursed.
Zach Dallas: But I think we should try to get Doc's stuff back
Uriel Iscariot: Kn Occult [1d6 = 8]
Zach Dallas: Am I cursed?
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 5]
GM: As far as neither of you can tell, you are not cursed.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): oh, bullshit
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I know I'm cursed
TADM: And that statement is only half-true.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): you bastard
Uriel Iscariot: Dr. MacVellian, you need assitance?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol
TADM: (either)
Dr. MacVellian: Yes. The sheriff took my weapons. And pretty much everything else of value
Uriel Iscariot: Nay, he did not take anything of value, as you are alive infront of me.
Uriel Iscariot: :smiles:
Uriel Iscariot: What stock thy put in thy earthly encumbrances!
Dr. MacVellian: That honey Isabella gave me is amazing!
Uriel Iscariot: Well, I cannot stand to let a gift of hers be stolen....
Uriel Iscariot: Where shall we start?
Uriel Iscariot: i.e. what happened to you anyway?
Dr. MacVellian: The sheriff's office.
Dr. MacVellian: And he didn't steal that, mostly because he didn't think it was worth anything
Uriel Iscariot: From what I saw, that sheriff is dirty as sin...
GM: So the group is going to the Sheriff's office?
Uriel Iscariot: How would you propose gettin yer stuff back?
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): Yes
Uriel Iscariot: Somehow, I doubt pleadin yer case will make him open his heart.
Uriel Iscariot: Nay, just his pockets lookin for a bribe.
Zach Dallas: I'd rather not meet with the man
Dr. MacVellian: If he hasn't pawned it all already :(
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): my persuasion is less than reliable
The group arrives outside the Sheriff's office. A large, shiny ornamental star hangs in the window. You see about a dozen wanted posters hanging up, most of them look old and faded, and a few have the faces scratched out.
[w] Zach Dallas: I'm actively looking at the reflection
[w] Zach Dallas: I'm curious to see if there's something looking back
[w] Zach Dallas: as a side note, I want to make sure I'm not on any of those aforementioned posters
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Star is made of copper?
The star looks like it is made of tin.
GM: Notice checks.
Dr. MacVellian: Notice {+2 Alertness} [1d8+2 = 5]
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 6]
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 10]
As you look at the reflected star in the window, you see a reflection of yourself with a large red welt across the neck, like you were just hung.
[w] -> Zach Dallas: You are not shown in any of the wanted posters.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Do I actually have a welt as if I was hung?
Uriel Iscariot: No devilry can spook me!
It looks like there are a half-dozen deputies inside, sitting around a table playing cards. One of them gets up and walks into the jail area. He yells, "Shut up you drunk" and throws a bucket of water on some unseen person.
Zach Dallas: I think that's accurate for me
Zach Dallas: Devilry applies to you two
The welt on Zach's neck is not nearly as bad looking as the one reflected in the window.
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): Uriel, I don't think we're in Dodge, anymore :(
Uriel Iscariot: Zach, any ideas on how to get Dr. MacVellian's stuff back?
Zach Dallas: Persuasion?
Zach Dallas: if you REALLY want me to roll....
Zach Dallas: other than that, they should have a way to legally reclaim your stuff
A deputy spots you standing outside the entrance. They flp the table over, take cover behind it, and draw their weapons. One of them comes out and levels a shotgun at you.
Zach Dallas: especially seeing as we really didn't do anything
Uriel Iscariot: Nah, I don't, However, I DO think you know what I am thinkin
Zach Dallas: you'll probably lose some money, though
Uriel Iscariot: We come in peace!
Deputy: What the Hell are you doing? Loitering here.
Deputy: Loitering is a fine-ab-bill offense. Move along before we make you pay.
Uriel Iscariot: We was lookin for our Dr's stuff is all. i see you are all gamblers so the rest will be easy....
Uriel Iscariot: :brandish cards:
Zach Dallas: You have cards?
Zach Dallas: looks surprised
Deputy: Poker is down at the saloon. Get the Hell out of here, unless you want to be thrown in jail.
Uriel Iscariot: Persuasion [1d6 = 7]
Uriel Iscariot: Hey now, I'm not looking for money, but You are, surely you'd want to gamble FOR money with stuff you don't even own?
Uriel Iscariot: Or maybe you just do law enforcement for chairity?
Deputy: I don't know what you are getting at, and care even less. But seeing as how you seem like wholesome folk, I'll give you to the count of ten before I shoot, instead of three like I was thinking...
Dr. MacVellian: notice on shotgun. long-distance noticing
Dr. MacVellian: Notice {+2 Alertness} [1d8+2 = 6]
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): as in, is it my shotgun
GM: Indeed, it is a loaded shotgun, pointed at you. The group is at medium range. It is not MacVellian's shotgun.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Now now, they haven't actually DONE shit yet, we cant just blow them away...yet.
Zach Dallas: The Sherriff confiscated some goods earlier from our lady friend. Is there some way that we could get some of them back?
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [1d4 = 2]
Deputy: Five.
Deputy: Four
Uriel Iscariot: Run away!
Dr. MacVellian: leaves
Zach Dallas: *sigh*
Deputy: Three
Zach Dallas: Nice star, by the way*
Zach Dallas: turns and walks off
Deputy: Two
Deputy: That's what I thought, now stay away.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): One does not test the LORD thy God, after all.
Dr. MacVellian: Damn. Anyone got a plan B?
Zach Dallas: what has this town come to, when its sherriff office turns everyone away at first sight
Uriel Iscariot: Dr. MacVellian, we are listening, where doth you thinketh thy goods went?
Dr. MacVellian: Well, either the Sheriff still has it all (or at least my guns), or he's trying to sell it or gamble it away
Zach Dallas: probably sell it
[w] Dr. MacVellian: Btw, what do I have left besides the honey?
Zach Dallas: I think we should see if we can get you some replacements in the meantime
[w] Dr. MacVellian: I assume no ammo and no ghost rock
Zach Dallas: So, things I would like to check out
[w] -> Dr. MacVellian: That is correct.
Zach Dallas: Newspaper office, Daly's Mansion, Doc's Machine
[w] Dr. MacVellian: That's not as horrible as I'd thought. Still a pain in the ass
Uriel Iscariot: Well, ya know, I think we should actually make haste here.
Zach Dallas: where are you storing that and do you think you've lost it already?
Uriel Iscariot: Hands Dr. MacVellian his Colt and ammo
Uriel Iscariot: Now see here, this thing is so accurate, you could shoot the lips off a cockroach. You be careful with it.
Zach Dallas: Where do we go first?
Dr. MacVellian: Um, thanks. But what will you use?
Dr. MacVellian: I say the mansion.
Uriel Iscariot: Doctor, I will use only what the LORD giveth.
Uriel Iscariot: Mansion it is.
Zach Dallas: I've got a spare Colt, actually
Zach Dallas: if you want to keep yours
Uriel Iscariot: Zach, I trust your guns less than I trust your cards.
Zach Dallas: Hey, my guns have been modified by Doc to be extra safe
Zach Dallas: thank you very much
Uriel Iscariot: ...enough, lets get to the mansion.
Uriel Iscariot: Notice {is anyone from the office following us}
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 11]
This charred ruin is the wreckage of John Daly’s fine mansion. There is little left here now except the blackened remains of a grand staircase and the collapsed walls of the ground floor, strewn with debris.
Zach Dallas: We have to do this without being seen
GM: You are not being followed.
Zach Dallas: apparently "tresspassing" is quite the offense
Dr. MacVellian: Cause of fire
[w] Zach Dallas: have I recovered any PP?
Dr. MacVellian: Investigation [1d4 = 2]
[w] -> Zach Dallas: 1.
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 5]
You would guess the cause of fire was probably oil/paper/tinder. The building was definitely set on fire.
Uriel Iscariot: Gather some cinder and ashes.
Uriel Iscariot: This...this may come in handy...
Zach Dallas: Why?
Uriel Iscariot: De-spooking the spook of this place.
Zach Dallas: what?
Uriel Iscariot: Jonah seemed mostly square. He also had all the windows and his mirror in a state of non-reflectiveness
Uriel Iscariot: or blocked
Zach Dallas: Ah, I see what you mean
Uriel Iscariot: Something about the light 'round here just doesn't add up
[w] Dr. MacVellian: How badly burned are my current clothes? Just remembered that I may need to change into my extra set at some point
Zach Dallas: Shall we actually investigate the scene, then?
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 5]
Zach Dallas: for other people
[w] -> Dr. MacVellian: Well, if you were wearing a full length skirt, it is now a trendy "knee-high" skirt. Very improper.
GM: You see no one else in the immediate area.
[w] Dr. MacVellian: Oh alright. I can live with that. Was always in the way when I was working on my mech, anyway
Uriel Iscariot: Well. This' ain't my speciality at all. You folks should get to bussiness here
Zach Dallas: An extra eye, blessed by God, might be all we need
Uriel Iscariot: As thy wish
Uriel Iscariot: Raise Smarts on Zach
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} [1d8+2 = 9]
Zach feels super Smart all of a sudden. First off, he thinks MacVellian needs to adjust the calibration on her Mech's left leg and also adjust the tension on the balance struts and the gyro-stabilizer.
GM: Not that this helps the current situation any....
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): really? I do have All Thumbs
Zach Dallas: Notice [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 9]
TADM: I'm not saying those are good ideas, just that Zach feels smarter and actually knows what balance struts and gyro-stabilizers are.
Zach Dallas: on the building, as I explore around it
GM: Zach is able to determine that the fire started in one corner to the building, it looks like it started near a safe, that was evidently fireproof, as it looks like someone dragged it away after the fire.
Uriel Iscariot: Hrm Dr. MacVellian, can you use your infernal contraption still?
Zach Dallas: I don't think that's necessary here
Dr. MacVellian: ...I don't have it right now, if you didn't notice
TADM: The infernal contraption that is missing?
Uriel Iscariot: Well yes but do you know where it is?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): WHICH I POINTED OUT EARLIER
TADM: See previous comment.
Dr. MacVellian: Yeah, I think those zealots took it
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Nick ignored it, I blame him
TADM: I blame Nate.
Dr. MacVellian: Shooting [1d6 = 5]
Uriel Iscariot: Well its a hard thing to just take which is why Im asking
Dr. MacVellian: They took the cart. Where it went after that, I don't know
Uriel Iscariot: Do you have the key or whatever you use?
Dr. MacVellian: There's no key. Not many people are smart enough to run it. Or are technology-fearin' folks like yourself
Uriel Iscariot: Just makin sure.
Uriel Iscariot: Why don't we man up, if youll pardon the phrase Dr, and check out the mine?
Uriel Iscariot: That's where they prolly took it, no?
Zach Dallas: Um, if they do something wrong, how big of a boom will it make?
TADM: Thermonuclear launch detected.
Dr. MacVellian: let's see...
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): ROFL
Dr. MacVellian: Smarts [1d12 = 6]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): SPREAD OUT THE OVERLORDS
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): DAMMIT WHY DIDN'T I UPGRADE SPEED YET
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): on a related note, Overlords block the dot for the target
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Especially if you are the "red" zerg.
Dr. MacVellian: carry the two, multiply by the weight of the machine, with exponent equal to approximate remaining amount of rock remaining...
TADM: I like that answer.
Dr. MacVellian: Let's just say we would have noticed
Uriel Iscariot: shoulda put a remote detonation in it
Uriel Iscariot: Or at least a tracking bug.
Dr. MacVellian: Ugh. Don't use the term "bug". My mech is free of those
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol we should've implanted Samantha into it as an AI
TADM: That would have totally rocked!
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): AI. What's the A stand for?
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): I WANT CANDY! I HAVE A MINING CLAW and i Know how to use it!
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Aggressive
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Animated Intelligence.
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): Except she would have gone looking for Big Rock Candy Mountain
GM: Okay, so before we get completely sidetracked...now where?
Uriel Iscariot: Peoples. To the Mines?
Zach Dallas: No. We should wait a bit. I can verify who took that safe later
Zach Dallas: We should also gather some appropriate information
Uriel Iscariot: Ok well our Lunatic here is without her looney tools
Dr. MacVellian: Agreed. Maybe also attempt to get my mech back, then we head out for the mines in the morning
TADM: afk bio
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): brb
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): BRBx
Zach Dallas: shall we get her DIGGING machine back before going to the MINES?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): well, damn
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I'm the only one left
TADM: I'm back.
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): me too
GM: Okay, let's get this party started.
GM: Now where?
Zach Dallas: I say we head to the Church and figure out where your mech went
Dr. MacVellian: Agreed
Zach Dallas: Uriel can talk them into giving it back for whatever reason
Zach Dallas: Right Preacher?
The group is standing outside the church. It looks exactly the same as the last time the group was here.
Dr. MacVellian: Btw, here are your keys to your rooms at the inn
Zach Dallas: Thanks
Zach Dallas: checks pockets for holes. Puts key into secure pocket
Uriel Iscariot (not here to defend himself): Absolutely, for the lord has given me providence to right the wrongs of the world!
TADM: Damn, too slow on the typing.
Uriel Iscariot: Ok
Uriel Iscariot: So...
Uriel Iscariot: What he said
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} [1d6+2 = 7]
Uriel Iscariot: Accelerate GM typing speed
Uriel Iscariot: Anyway, you are sure these ....people have your stuff?
Dr. MacVellian: Looks for any signs that it's been moved again
Dr. MacVellian: Notice {+2 Alertness} [1d8+2 = 9]
TADM: Suddenely I feel meeself able t'type faster, but muhc less akurately.
The cart and horses are still tethered behind the church, there is no sign of the Mech.
Uriel Iscariot: I see.
Zach Dallas: any sign of dragging or lots of people moving?
Zach Dallas: Notice [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 2]
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): I'm so retarded!! I just came up with a name for it!!!!! Smashy Bashy!!!!!!!
Uriel Iscariot: Same
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 5]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Chipper. I am calling it The Chipper.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): The Chipper it is
Dr. MacVellian: So, who's going inside?
It looks like the wagon and horses came over to the church. The Mech was driven - yes - driven by someone who knew how to operate it - off the back of the wagon. The Mech went about ten steps, then appears to have vanished entirely.
GM: Those ten steps do not put it inside the Church.
Zach Dallas: Not me
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Huh.
Zach Dallas: I'll get in trouble
Zach Dallas: it's up to the Preacher
Uriel Iscariot: Ill go, but I think....I think something is amiss here as well
Dr. MacVellian: follows its last ten steps
GM: MacVellian can tell it came to a stop, then vanished. It leaves no other tracks anywhere, and it is not exactly a hard thing to track.
Uriel Iscariot: Create Water, Mix with Ash, make black mud.
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} [Critical failure!] [1d8+2 = 3]
Uriel Iscariot is using a benny
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} [1d6+2 = 9]
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): Did it dig a hole?
Uriel Iscariot: Oookay, One second folks.
Zach Dallas: I'd like to check on this, but...
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Not enough energy
GM: Nope, it did not dig a hole. A hole made by it would be pretty obvious.
Uriel Iscariot: Windstorm {Ash Mud} windows of Church
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} [1d8+2 = 7]
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): No guns, no mech...it's the start of the campaign all over again
GM: You have successfully muddied up the windows.
The Deacon and several members of the church come out.
Deacon Robert Plume: (yells) What is going on here?
Deacon Robert Plume: (yells) Oh! Hello preacher! It is good to see you again.
New Covenant Follower: Yes, good to see you.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Are you trying to get rid of the reflections?
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): Interesting that his name is plume (like plume of smoke) yet he's surrounded by light
Uriel Iscariot: It is good to see you all again!
Uriel Iscariot: I have just borne witness to a miracle!
Uriel Iscariot: Out of nowhere, the dust and mud changed color, and took the form of the madonna, and she spoke
[w] Dr. MacVellian -> Uriel Iscariot: Touch him with your cross. Maybe his head will explode!
Uriel Iscariot: "Blue is my color, Red it is not"
Uriel Iscariot: And then the form vanished as it collided with the windows!
Deacon Robert Plume: (yells) I see. For we also were witness to a miracle. The Reverend returned to us and said that he had been given a sign from God. He knew that the Evil lurked in the earth. And lo! A means to fight it arrived in the cart which was sitting near here. The Reverend took the mighty weapon of the Lord and departed to fight the Evil with it! We are praying for his victory!
Uriel Iscariot: Evil? Where be this evil such that I may join the fight!
Zach Dallas: AHAHAHAHAHAHA
New Covenant Follower: He vanished in a great flash of light after he walked with it ten steps! Like he followed the path of the Ten Commandments!
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): "Thou shalt always be honest and faithful to the provider of thy nookie, and thou shall try really hard not to kill anyone unless they believe in different invisible man that i do
Zach Dallas: Hot damn again
Deacon Robert Plume: (yells) I know not where the Evil is! But we must all pray that Reverend Cheval is victorious!
Uriel Iscariot: Truly the plight of the village hath been heard on high! We are saved!
Uriel Iscariot: Let us pray more!
TADM: Note to self: GM in this campaign is a bastard.
TADM: Err...
Dr. MacVellian: Yeah, that was my machine. And after he's done, I'd like it back in one piece
Dr. MacVellian: Please
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I'm infinitely amused that he returned and immedite stole the Mech, only to teleport it back to where he was
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): You are breaking rule #1 of survival. Don't tease the animals/
Deacon Robert Plume: (yells) I am sure the Lord shall grant thy requests in the fullness of time.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): and rule #2 of survival. Don't lose your most expensive weapon.
TADM: Rule #3 of survival, do not leave the item which would make the quest easiest to solve somewhere in the open. And unguarded. Lest some random NPC make off with it.
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): Teddy Roosevelt: Walk softly and carry a big stick
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I know
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): you see, Nick is nowhere near as paranoid as I am
Uriel Iscariot: HRM.
[w] Dr. MacVellian: Would I have to take an Edge to install an retina scanner in it?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): just look at how many knives I have
[w] -> Dr. MacVellian: Most definitely.
Uriel Iscariot: Let us return to the chapel and pray!
Uriel Iscariot: (goes into the chapel)
Uriel Iscariot: notice{lighting inside}
[w] Dr. MacVellian: Aww man. You're just waiting for my character to become a total whacko, aren't you?
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 14]
The Deacon and the churchgoers all head back inside and settle down, then begin praying.
[w] Dr. MacVellian -> Uriel Iscariot: Touch the altar with your cross.
[w] -> Dr. MacVellian: I'm just enforcing the rules. It is up to you how you spend your advances. ;)
[w] Uriel Iscariot -> Dr. MacVellian: No. Fucking. Way.
[w] Uriel Iscariot -> Dr. MacVellian: You broke your toy, I am not losing mine.
The lighting in the church is a little darker than before, but otherwise unchanged.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): .....I blame Nate
GM: Okay, so is everyone inside the church praying? And how long do you sit there and pray?
[w] Dr. MacVellian -> Uriel Iscariot: Okay. Summon fire to help "illuminate" the altar, and just melt it
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): will they let me inside?
[w] Uriel Iscariot -> Dr. MacVellian: I cant do that.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I was under the impression I was unwelcome
[w] Dr. MacVellian -> Uriel Iscariot: Or at least to burn/distort the outer surface
Uriel Iscariot: I will ask the honor of performing mass
Nope, Zach is not allowed in. The churchgoers refuse to let him in.
Deacon Robert Plume: (yells) Certainly preacher. Lead us in prayer!
GM: Zach is sitting outside. What is he up to?
[w] Dr. MacVellian -> Zach Dallas: Plan B: "Accidently" throw lit dynamite at the altar
TADM:
[w] Uriel Iscariot: GM what sort of vibes does the altar give off?
Dr. MacVellian: still outside with Zach
[w] Zach Dallas: I think I'm going to just check out my room for now. I want to see how secure it is and cover up any reflections.
[w] -> Uriel Iscariot: You are getting no "vibes" at all. It seems like a block of solid copper.
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Okay, that won't get you killed.
[w] Zach Dallas: yay!
GM: Zach walks over to the "Cry a River Hotel" and goes upstairs to check his room out. This is a non-fatal "wandering off" maneuver.
Uriel Iscariot: Set my Relic Cruicifix down on the altar as I bless the Eucharist.
Dr. MacVellian: starts calculating temps needed to melt shiny objects enough to remove their reflective qualities
KABOOM!
Zach Dallas: WHAT THE
GM: [2d12 = 10]
Zach Dallas: rushes out to the church, betrayed at the shenanigans that took place without me
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): What do you know? Tack's character has yet again caused a building to explode with him inside it!
Uriel flies through the air and out of the church's front doors, smashing hard into the ground, bouncing several times, and coming to a stop. Smoke rises from him.
Zach Dallas: exits the building
Zach Dallas: sees Uriel
Zach Dallas: falls down laughing
Zach Dallas: AHAHAHAHAHA
The entire church building shook. The bell rings continuously for about three minutes.
GM: Which gives everyone in Coffin Rock the "Hard of Hearing-Minor" hindrances for the next day and a half.
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): Except Jonah. He was wearing his earmuffs
TADM: Good point. Not Jonah.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): any of the windows shatter?
The Deacon and the members of the congregation stagger out, looking confused and stunned.
[w] Uriel Iscariot: GM can I soak some of this damage with bennies?
GM: The glass windows somehow remained intact. You are not sure how.
Zach Dallas: staggers over to help Uriel up
[w] -> Uriel Iscariot: Yep, Vigor check like normal.
Zach Dallas: laughs more
Zach Dallas: Hey, buddy, how's it going?
Uriel Iscariot is using a benny
Uriel Iscariot: Vigor [1d6 = 19]
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): douse him with holy water!
Uriel Iscariot: JESUS CHRIST IS WITH ME
TADM: I agree.
Zach Dallas: You didn't break the cross, did you?
Uriel Iscariot: Notice {relic}
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 5]
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): In Soviet Russia, cross break altar
Zach Dallas: Goes to check the altar
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 6]
The Cross that looks decrepit and made of driftwood is clenched firmly in your right hand. Your right hand is gripped on it tightly and refuses to let go. In fact, if you try to let go, your hand shakes uncontrollably.
GM: The altar looks blasted and warped. It is no longer reflecting anything.
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): Yay!!
Zach Dallas: Holy----cross
Zach Dallas: This is probably the most amusing thing that's happened. I think I'm going to start to write a book about this stuff
GM: No people were killed in the altar/Cross explosion.
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 6]
Zach Dallas: Doc
Uriel Iscariot: Nothing is Impossible with the LORD.
Uriel Iscariot: I hath been spared his wrath, as has his peoples...
[w] -> Uriel Iscariot: You've picked up a new Hindrance.
Uriel Iscariot: Notice {worshipers}
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 5]
The Deacon and the churchgoers are blinking wildly, staggering around, and looking very confused.
Deacon Robert Plume: (yells) Today has been a day of miracles.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I won't blame him for that one
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): Guess it didn't work. They aren't free of his "will"
Uriel Iscariot: Notice {any injuries}
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 9]
GM: Well, aside from deafness, no one seems injured.
Uriel Iscariot: Bear witness, deliverance hath come!
Uriel Iscariot: We hath been lost, but now are found!
Deacon Robert Plume: (yells) Yea! Verily it is so!
New Covenant Follower: (yells) I can barely hear you!
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): No one is deaf to a good sermon! =)
Zach Dallas: Note: Think you want to fix the ears of those who need it most?
Zach Dallas: to Uriel
Dr. MacVellian: hmmm...
Dr. MacVellian: goes back to the spot where the mech disappeared
Dr. MacVellian: Ghostrock Finding {+4 Nose for Rock,+2 Alertness} [1d6+6 = 17]
Zach Dallas: Note: Clear out before the sherriffs get here. They're not good people
[w] Dr. MacVellian: Just noticed that the honey vial penalty wasn't there
GM: The traces of Ghost Rock vanish with the Mech's steps. Wherever it went, it left no trace.
Marshal Bryce: (yells) WTF Just happened?
Uriel Iscariot: The Lord has shown the way to even our least faithful brothers!
The Sheriff and two deputies are there, shotguns cocked. They look more angry than usual.
Deacon Robert Plume: (yells) It was a miracle!
[w] Dr. MacVellian -> Zach Dallas: Take my guns back when he isn't looking
Zach Dallas: looks inconspicuous and slides into the inn
Marshal Bryce: (yells) It gave me a damn headache!
[w] Zach Dallas -> Dr. MacVellian: I refuse.
Uriel Iscariot: Rejoyce Marshall, for soon our promised land shall return!
Dr. MacVellian: on Bryce to see if he still has my stuff
Marshal Bryce: (action: Notice check to see if there is anyone around that needs to be shot)
Dr. MacVellian: Ghostrock Finding {+4 Nose for Rock,+2 Alertness} [1d6+6 = 10]
Marshal Bryce: Notice [1d6 = 4]
Zach Dallas: Stealth {--2 Untrained:Mike} [1d6-2 = 3]
[w] Dr. MacVellian: And yes, that's the roll I meant to do
Marshal Bryce: (yells) You! The Necro-pedo-philiac! That means that limey tart and the mouthy one are around.
Marshal Bryce: (action: points shotgun at Uriel)
[w] -> Dr. MacVellian: Yep, he has your stuff.
Uriel Iscariot: TURTLE POWER ACTIVATE
Uriel Iscariot: Protection
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} +2 (Seasoned Power -4) [1d6-2 = 3]
[w] Zach Dallas: I'd like to Deal to get Deflection up
[w] -> Zach Dallas: You pulled crap. Your best hand in eight cards is a pair of 8s.
[w] Zach Dallas: ah, but a pair is all I need
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 2]
Zach Dallas is using a benny
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting [1d6 = 10]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I hate you, D6. I hate you so much
TADM: Welcome to my world.
Zach Dallas: lol
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): at least we're on the same footing
Deacon Robert Plume: (yells) Now now! Sheriff, this is a house of god. Well, near it at least. The priest was just trying to help.
Marshal Bryce: (yells) Do I look like I effing care?
Deacon Robert Plume: (yells) The law of the Lord is higher than yours! Let us send these wayward lambs into the wilds. Should they return in 40 days, we shall know that have passed the same trials as the Lord has!
Marshal Bryce: (yells) Err...
Deacon Robert Plume: (yells) And that is what the good Reverend would want.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I smell railroading~~~~
Marshal Bryce: (yells) Fine dammit. (gestures with shotgun) Get the Hell out of my town, and take the tart and the mouthy one with you.
[w] Dr. MacVellian -> Uriel Iscariot: Now, if they kick us out w/o my stuff, guilt-trip him into giving me back my stuff
TADM: Nonsense. You can try fighting the Sheriff, deputies, and any allies they bring along right now. It's totally up to you.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): how many deputies were in that office?
TADM: Six.
TADM: There are two here right now.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Ok bros. You want to fight thist out, or sneakify it?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): still, wiping out the law enforcement for this town would probably be a bad thing
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): not to mention illegal. I would like to minimize the number of Wanted posters
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Really? __really__?
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Whomever did that to the church is going to come looking for us soon ANYWAY, might as well limit how many doods he can turn on us at once
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I'm voting for leaving now and searching for The Chipper
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): we can sneak in later for provisions if we need to
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Your call then nick
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): i say leave. but we need to clear up a couple things first
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): for one, getting our stuff (if any) from the hotel and returning the keys so we're not charged while we're away
Uriel Iscariot: Very Well, We shall go and endure our trials in the desert.
Uriel Iscariot: Kn Bible [1d6 = 11]
TADM: I predict gruesome deaths.
Zach Dallas: Persuasion {Get Doc's stuff back}
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [1d6 = 10]
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): That's your perdiction every session
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): or perdition. not sure which
Zach Dallas: If we get all of our stuff now, we'll never have a reason to come back here
Marshal Bryce: (yells) Then get your stuff out of whatever hole you slunk into and get the Hell out of town. You have five minutes.
Dr. MacVellian: Gives Zach my key
Zach Dallas: (yells) You still have some of it. Just toss it out there
GM: The Persuasion check bought you five minutes, Doc still does not get any stuff back.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): awwww
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): Is that my shotgun he's using?
Marshal Bryce: (yells) And since I'm feeling extra generous, I'm not shooting off the mouthy one's left leg.
TADM: Yes.
Zach Dallas: turns keys in, runs over to grab some food to stay alive for the time being
GM: Err...food from where?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): General Store?
Dr. MacVellian: walks up to the sheriff
Dr. MacVellian: You wouldn't let a poor, defenseless woman go out into the desert without her weapons, would you?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): yes, yes he would
Dr. MacVellian: persuasion
Dr. MacVellian: Unskilled [1d4 = 3]
Dr. MacVellian is using a benny
Dr. MacVellian: Unskilled [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 11]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I agree entirely with Tack
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): You're boned
Marshal Bryce: (yells) Yes, yes I would. Although I'd be tempted to hog tie her to the back of a donkey and have my way with her first. Deputy, get a donkey for this woman.
Deputy: Yes sir!
Zach runs over to the General Store.
Dr. MacVellian: Preacher, isn't one of the Commandments 'Thou shalt not steal'?
The store has fallen into disuse and a thick layer of dust covers everything. The barrels of tools are rusty and splintered, and several mealbags have burst, covering the floor with worm infested grain. Slimy green mold grows up the walls.
Dr. MacVellian: Or 'Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's goods'?
Zach Dallas: Nope, nevermind
Zach Dallas: runs back to the rest of the group
Zach sees himself in the reflection as a doddering old fool with drool coming out of his mouth and shaking hands.
Uriel Iscariot: Well surely he is stealing and coveting some of your "goods" so....
Zach Dallas: pauses, bows to the mirror
Zach Dallas: Why thank you.
Zach Dallas: continues
Deacon Robert Plume: (yells) Come my flock, we have wasted enough time here. We must return to our prayers.
New Covenant Follower: (yells) Yes Deacon.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): He is alone now?
The Deacon and his followers head back into the Church. Just the Sheriff and a single deputy remain that you can see.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Distance from deputy to Sheriff?
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 5]
Uriel is about 6' from the Sheriff and Deputy.
TADM: Of course, before you open fire, I'd recommend a Notice check or two.
Dr. MacVellian: Grrr...if you had your way with me, would I get my stuff back?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): OOOOOOOOH!
TADM: Wow. Is Nick thinking of engaging in Monica Lewinsky type behavior with the Sheriff?
Marshal Bryce: (yells) Depends on how much I enjoyed it.
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): I'm blaming the Sheriff. He forced me into it
GM: Time just keeps on passing...passing...
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): have I made it back?

Kazemi (Zach Dallas): do I hear the gunshot?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): technically, there's another -2
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I wish Tack had HEALED US FIRST

Kazemi (Zach Dallas): together?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): and at what range to me?
GM: They are in different buildings, and the closest is probably about 25-30 feet from you. He is actually on the second floor of the "Cry a River Hotel."
Uriel Iscariot
[w] Zach Dallas: well, I guess I'll continue and make a Deal to cast Deflection
[w] Uriel Iscariot: GM does Pacifist prevent me from using boomstick on Bryce?
[w] Uriel Iscariot: GM i mean he IS a scumbag. =)
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Dallas you get a 2-6 Straight.
[w] -> Uriel Iscariot: Well, given that he is actively trying to kill you, self-preservation wins out over pacifism.
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): hmmm if the owner of the hotel was crying earlier, would he kill the deputy with a knife if mike "changed" the sign to carver hotel?

Kazemi (Zach Dallas): they don't need to feign
GM: Assuming you are running, you are in front of the Hotel.
GM: Everyone else is standing in front of the church.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): how far away am I from the Sherriff?
GM: At long range for any of your guns, about 45' away.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): also, how far away is this town from others?
GM: That would be the Pueblo station, about five hours from here.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): eg, can I realistically get them to doctors somewhere else before they bleed out
GM: Possibly.
GM: There is also a Doctor in this town.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): and also a pissed off Marshall
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Well, I'll pray for a miracle....
GM: Well yes, but I'm going to point out that Uriel "spelled" first.
Zach Dallas: continue toward them
Zach Dallas: OI! What the hell? We haven't had our 5 minutes yet!

Bryce drops over dead.
TADM: Great, wait until you see what problems this causes.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): R-R-R-R-RAGE QUIT
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Do they have to take Guts checks, since the near dead Doc just stood up with no wouonds and crushed their leader's skull?
Dr. MacVellian: If he had just given me back my stuff, he wouldn't be in that mess
Deputy: Well F--- this. He was the only one keeping the Blood Men and Archer's gang out of town. I'm out of here.
The deputies all run.
GM: Nope, that would be an auto-fail on the Guts checks.
Dr. MacVellian: Now, if excuse me, I'm looting the body
Dr. MacVellian: I mean collecting my things
In about three minutes, the Deputies have cleared out of town, riding as fast as they can on horses.
GM: Okay, you get your stuff back.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): way to destroy an entire town in one blow
GM: Minus the Mech, of course.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): except for The Chipper
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): of course
Uriel Iscariot: urgh.....gurgle....
Uriel Iscariot: Help....meeeee
Zach Dallas: Notice (Deaf -2) [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6-2 = 2]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Nope, sorry, I can't hear you
GM: Well, this jacks with, and yet does not jack with, the rest of this mission.
TADM: Nick clearly belongs to the "never settle with the lesser evil" group of people.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Dr. MacVellian WRENCH
GM: So now what would the group like to do? Clearly you are no longer evicted from town.
Uriel Iscariot: Get....Me....to a doctor.....
Zach Dallas: Notice (Deaf -2) [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6-2 = 0]
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Or you could gimme some of that ambritas there champ
Uriel Iscariot: Writes "help" in blood on the street
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d6 = 3]
Dr. MacVellian: Fine. Here you go
Zach Dallas: Gimme that bottle when you're done
Dr. MacVellian: Also fine
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Nope, what happened with the church people?
GM: They all went back inside and were praying diligently. Clearly they prayed for deliverance from the Sheriff with MacVellian's Wrench as the instrument of God.
Uriel Iscariot: *slurp*
Uriel Iscariot: :eyes Narrow:
Uriel Iscariot: I feel Incredible!
GM: Okay...next....
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 8]
Uriel Iscariot: For other wounded folk
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Me please
GM: There are no other wounded folk in the area. Just one very dead Sheriff. And Zach.
Uriel Iscariot: Here ya go Zach
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} +2 (Novice Power Penalty -2) [1d6 = 4]
Dr. MacVellian: gives Zach the bottle the honey was in
Zach Dallas: Now, we have two choices. The first is to abbandon this town to its doom and go looking for the Reverand and help him kill the Great Evil and complete our great quest
Uriel Iscariot: May the Lord's embrace grant thee a wound.
Zach Dallas: the second is to take over the town as sherriffs until we can find someone capable enough to take our place or evacuate all of the citizens, many of which will probably have nowhere else to go
Uriel Iscariot: We stay.
Uriel Iscariot: I don't see how that is a decision.
Uriel Iscariot: We stay as the defacto sheriffs for a bit. I'm sure theres plenty of folk here that love this town and would step up
Dr. MacVellian: We stay. Assuming they accept us as the new sheriffs
Uriel Iscariot: Just that when we got here, that steppin up may have been quite a bit too much for most folk to do, especially given the circumstances
Dr. MacVellian: I mean, I just killed the last one, after all. Which reminds me...
Dr. MacVellian: heads to cemetary to start digging a new grave
Uriel Iscariot: ....I thought you had more sense than that.
Uriel Iscariot: ..pfft. Womenfolk.
Zach Dallas: Uriel, do you think you want to break the news to your zealot friends
Uriel Iscariot: Grabs the badge from the Sheriff
Uriel Iscariot: Zach, Stand Still.
Uriel Iscariot: Persuasion [1d6 = 3]
Zach Dallas: you stab me with that and I will nuke you
Zach Dallas: Intimidation {Uriel}
Zach Dallas: Stealth {--2 Untrained:Mike} [1d6-2 = 2]
Zach Dallas: This is not the Zach you are looking for
Uriel Iscariot: well at the very least I'll hold onto it
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [1d4 = 6]
Zach Dallas: Go for it
Zach Dallas: Actually, pass it to me
Zach Dallas: I'm going to go talk with Jonah
Uriel Iscariot: Now, if youll excuse me for a bit, Imma go explain what on happend down here to the parish.
Uriel Iscariot: Aight then.
Uriel Iscariot: Here, take it.
Zach Dallas: takes Badge
Uriel Iscariot: Heads off to the Church, attempting to explain what on happened this day to a bunch of partially deaf folk
Zach Dallas: heads to Jonah's place
Dr. MacVellian: On second thought
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): come Uriel!
Dr. MacVellian: joins the group
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): is the badge shiney?
Uriel Iscariot: To Jonah.
TADM: Damn. I was hoping you would split up so I could kill you individually.
GM: You get to the Blacksmith shop, it is now about 4'o'clock.
Zach Dallas: I make sure the badge is not shiney
GM: Jonah is hammering away, evidently oblivious to your arrival.
Dr. MacVellian: Etches "Crusher" into hammer along the way
GM: The badge is not shiny, and a bit bloody.
Zach Dallas: JONAH!
He stops hammering and turns around.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): BRB
Jonah Thurgood: Err, yeah?
Jonah Thurgood: (takes off earmuffs)
Zach Dallas: Well, I figured you might be the best person to talk to first
Dr. MacVellian: We have good news, and bad news
Zach Dallas: The Sherrif, Doc, and the Preacher had a bit of an argument
Zach Dallas: shows badge
Jonah Thurgood: I see.
Jonah Thurgood: Quite the argument.
Zach Dallas: The deputies took off. Mentioned something about gangs
Zach Dallas: I figured we might want to get the town together and figure out a good course of action
Zach Dallas: We're willing to stay here and help take care of things if need be
Jonah Thurgood: Well, seeing as how you are the ones who killed Bryce, you should be the ones who stay and clean things up.
Zach Dallas: Pretty much
Jonah Thurgood: He was a mean bastard, but the bandits and creatures in the hills were scared of them.
Zach Dallas: Yeah, I gathered
Zach Dallas: glares at Doc
Jonah Thurgood: Bryce and his deputies I mean.
Jonah Thurgood: I reckon in a day or two, Archer's gang will come into town, looking to shoot things up and loot the place.
Zach Dallas: Do you know how many people are in his gang?
Dr. MacVellian: No offense, but there's not much left to loot
Jonah Thurgood: Oh, 15-20 or so.
Uriel Iscariot: Hrm....
Zach Dallas: damn, Bryce had half the people under his belt
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): OK, I don't think we can take this on our own, guys
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): there's a lot of mooks, there
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Nah, were fine
Jonah Thurgood: Bear in mind missy, that food, water, and supplies are as good a loot as money.
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): We'll be fine. Almost time to end game for a week
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): we WON'T be fine
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Don't Panic.
Jonah Thurgood: And you'll find the folk in this town put up with Bryce and his thugs because in terms of actual fighters, this town does not have much to go on.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): That was another thing I had gathered
Zach Dallas: So it's really just the three of us
Zach Dallas: if that's the case, our best chance is to take out Archer quickly and efficiently
Jonah Thurgood: Probably.
Zach Dallas: actually, does the gang have a single leader?
Zach Dallas: or has it cycled a bit?
Uriel Iscariot: Don't forget. We have plenty of terrain and suprise advantages. If they come a carousing, we can get em!
Jonah Thurgood: Archer's gang is run by Hank Archer. Since he is keeping the rest of his cutthroats under control, I'm not sure killing him would help any.
Zach Dallas: Hm
Dr. MacVellian: Aren't they afraid of whatever's been killing the miners and bandits?
Zach Dallas: Is there anything else to worry about other than Archer's gang?
Jonah Thurgood: Sure, the Blood Men were not attacking town. Not sure if that is going to change with Bryce gone.
Zach Dallas: What exactly are Blood Men?
Jonah Thurgood: Good question, I ain't seen one. Just heard about them. They stand like a man, but are wreathed in flame and drip blood constantly. Their skin looks like what a person's would, if they didn't have any so you could see the muscle underneath.
Zach Dallas: Do you know how many of them there are or how to kill them?
Jonah Thurgood: Nope and nope.
Uriel Iscariot: Hrm
Uriel Iscariot: Kn Occult {+2 Honey Vial} [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6+2 = 7]
GM: Faith Prevails!
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Whoah
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): ....Word.
GM: And so does a liberal application of Holy Water.
Uriel Iscariot: I see. Don't worry, Blood men are nothing to those with Faith. =)
Jonah Thurgood: So the rest of us are screwed? Thanks preacher.
Zach Dallas: What do you mean?
Uriel Iscariot: Screwed on Faith? No such thing. Today I saw your community rekindle it's flame of the Lord entirely!
Uriel Iscariot: Thou shalt all be safe.
Jonah Thurgood: Uh huh. You need anything else from me?
Zach Dallas: That should be about it. We're going to go around and see what actions everyone wants to take
Zach Dallas: do you have a map?
Zach Dallas: I'm, uh, not sure where everybody lives in here
Jonah Thurgood: Well, I can give you some directions.
Jonah explains the layout of the town. You can now actually use the "numbers" on the map. Also, there a lot of buildings outside of this area, some of the homes are occupied, most of them (and any businesses) are abandoned.
Dr. MacVellian: Oh, also, we need another grave dug. For the sheriff
Jonah Thurgood: Fine, take a shovel and dig it. I'm not the undertaker.
TADM: Well, crap, I forgot something from a while back. Whoops. No chance now to go fix it.
Dr. MacVellian: Sorry to make such an assumption :(
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): What?
TADM: It would have made a slight difference in the fight with the Sheriff, but too late now.
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): Good, or bad difference
TADM: Yes.
TADM: The Sheriff would still be dead.
GM: So now what?
Uriel Iscariot: Well, If what my senses tell me is true, I'd get some buckets around town, full of water. I will bless these buckets, and should these "blood men" come around, well have some way to deal with them
Jonah Thurgood: Okay, you work on convincing people of that.
Uriel Iscariot: Not a problem, I just figured you'd be the one to talk to for bulk buckets. =)
Jonah Thurgood: Yep, was about to say let me know how many buckets you need.
Uriel Iscariot: Oh about 10.
Zach Dallas: Well, the zealots can be convinced easily
Uriel Iscariot: How much ya gonna charge for that?
Zach Dallas: they can be our Anti-Blood Man militia if need be
Jonah Thurgood: Right, I'll start working on that. I'll figure out the charge later, assuming we all live through the next week or so.
Zach Dallas: Yup
Uriel Iscariot: With the Grace of the Lord, all life is possible.
Uriel Iscariot: Second, we are going to need to get an alarm sustem to know more about that gang
Zach Dallas: Out of curiosity, how do you guys get food or money here?
Jonah Thurgood: There are a few merchants who wander into town once every week or so. They bring in supplies.
Campaign saved.
