Savage Worlds Ruleset for Fantasy Grounds II
(c) 2009 Pinnacle Entertainment Group.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Wheee!
Shelly Pearl: Well, given the shape everyone is in, and the fact that it is fast approaching 10'o'clock at night, I think we should think about getting somewhere indoors where those that are injured can get some sleep.
Emma Evans: And I can have some better light to see with if I am going to help the injured.
Shelly Pearl: That also.
Dr. MacVellian: That sounds like a good idea.
Isabella DeMerini: And Coffin Rock might have a few welcome things to say about its heroes. See you around.
Uriel Iscariot: Oh No! Don't go Isabella! Nooo!
Isabella gets up and walks north, out of town.
Emma Evans: Wait, Miss DeMerini...
Uriel Iscariot: Rats...shes's a tough act to keep up with....
Emma Evans: I suspected as much the first time I met her.
Uriel Iscariot: Oh where was that?
Uriel Iscariot: Im curious to see how much she really does get around. =)
Shelly Pearl: So, how does the Six Foot Under sound? I could use a shot of whiskey.
General murmurs of agreement come from the rest of the gang.
Uriel Iscariot: Sure. To the Saloon!
Uriel Iscariot: Nervous.
Shelly Pearl: So, while we are on our way to the Saloon, Emma, three different people have asked you the same question, and you have not been forthcoming on an answer.
[w] Dr. MacVellian: Any way I could talk to the Earth spirit or whatever it was we helped? I'm wondering if it could teleport my mech here. And, if it hurts it when I use it to dig
[w] -> Dr. MacVellian: Sure, you could go back to the Crooked Earth Mine and see if Tacheene is still there. Beyond that MacVellian has no idea (unless you want to come up with something creative)
Uriel Iscariot: Common, let's hear it!
Uriel Iscariot: Persuasion [1d6 = 5]
Emma Evans: Well, Shelly, it was the day you were shot.
Shelly Pearl: By Bryce, or one of the other times?
Emma Evans: By Bryce.
[w] Dr. MacVellian: Hmmm... let me see.
Dr. MacVellian: Finds a rock, and attempts to use Morse Code to reach Tacheene
Dr. MacVellian: Smarts [1d6 = 5]
Emma Evans: I was coming to Coffin Rock a few weeks ago to see my family after graduating from Medical School. It was the last train to leave before the Hellstromme Express. I kind of wish I had booked tickets on that train. It sure seems cool.
Dr. MacVellian: Be glad you didn't. It turned into a Shitstorm
Campaign saved.
Emma Evans: Such language from a Doctor!
Shelly Pearl: Get used to it Emma, people are pretty profane out in the West.
Emma Evans: Tsk tsk.
Uriel Iscariot: Can't help it. Not enough menfolk left to do the cussin...
Uriel Iscariot: and SOMEONE has to do some cussin? Right?
Uriel Iscariot: Stops interjecting and awaits the rest of the tale
Shelly Pearl: Damn right.
Emma Evans: Anyway, I disembarked the train at Pueblo station and rode the stage here. There were two other passengers, Miss DeMerini and a drunk whiskey salesman who snored the whole time.
Emma Evans: Miss DeMerini and I got bored staring outside and started talking. She decided to get off in Coffin Rock and come with me. She didn't say why.
Uriel Iscariot: Notice: emotions of Emma while she is telling
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 5]
Dr. MacVellian: Notice [1d8 = 4]
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): awww
Emma Evans: We wandered around town for a bit, I found a note from my family saying they moved to Denver. We were walking over to see Doc Osgood when Shelly was shot and staggered out of the Sheriff's office.
Shelly Pearl: Yeah, I don't remember much beyond that, honestly. I don't even remember you being in town.
Emma's facial expressions and emotions show that she is a wide-eyed girl amazed that she has lived through all this. There is something charming about her relative naivety.
GM: Which also seems to be much different than how she was the last time you saw her.
[w] Dr. MacVellian: Did anything happen with my morse code attempt earlier?
Uriel Iscariot: Checking Fear of the Land
Uriel Iscariot: Guts {+2 Seasoned} [1d6+2 = 10]
[w] -> Dr. MacVellian: Nope, evidently Tacheene is not up on morse code. But I give you props for the idea.
GM: It seems that the Fear Level in the area has dropped from 4 to 3.
The group gets to the Six Feet Under.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): I want this to be in the book: Hindrance, 5ptsCurse Of Good HumorIf there's one thing his hombre does not have, it's any sense of humor at all. Lacking any true comedic wit, his encyclopedic knowledge of bad puns found on Popsicle sticks flavors his words in up to 6 different cheesy flavors. For every 5 horrible puns unleashed upon human ears, this hombre may at +1 to a die roll of his choice, stackable once for novice, twice for seasoned, etc.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): (but just for the lols)
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 4]
The entrance to the Six Feet Under looks no different than the last time you were here. It is not very crowded on account of the lateness.
Mike Hall: (begins playing "Come the Triumphant Heroes")
Ray Wisely: Hey look, it's Shelly Daly!
Bar Patron: Woohoo!
Lizzie Pierce: Yay! Miss Pearl - er Daly - I am so happy to see you again.
Taylor Johnson: Evening ma'am, you need a drink?
Shelly Pearl: Yes sir, and one for the rest of the group.
Uriel Iscariot: Ye haw!
Taylor Johnson: Hey! (points at Uriel and MacVellian) We don't serve murdering dogs in here!
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): awww
Shelly Pearl: You do now. They were the ones who helped Coffin Rock the most.
Taylor Johnson: Well, I guess, if you say they are okay.
Lizzie Pierce: See, I told you they were not bad people.
Mike Hall: (begins playing "Odysseus Victorious")
GM: Which is really amazing given that he only has a piano.
Emma Evans: Healing [1d6 = 10]
Emma Evans: Healing [1d6 = 5]
Dr. MacVellian: Thanks for the good words, Shelly.
Shelly Pearl: You deserved them.
GM: Emma works some magic with her healing hands and medical skill and fixes up Uriel and Zach Dallas like new almost.
Uriel Iscariot: Wow!
Uriel Iscariot: I didn't think anyone could fix Zach!
Rose Dawson: You should have seen it Taylor, we took on the whole Archer gang ourselves. The bastards killed Jean and Winnie, but we wiped them out.
Taylor Johnson: Really?
Rose Dawson: Hell yeah. Man, you should have seen Emma. The gang charged at her, Jean, and Winnie. There was a hail of gunfire. Then Emma grabbed Winnie's Winchester and was firing one with each hand.
Shelly Pearl: Err..yeah...about that. I am not believing you on that one Rose. First off, only you saw it, and second, that is physically impossible.
Rose Dawson: I saw it! Emma, back me up.
Emma Evans: I...errr...have no idea what you are talking about Rose. Sure you don't want me to take a look at your head? You had a nasty fall.
Mike Hall: (begins playing "Ode to Athena")
Uriel Iscariot: We don't need a fussin and a feudin! It's Time to be celebratin!
Shelly Pearl: Amen to that! Bottoms up!
Ray Wisely: No that's something I can agree to.
Bar Patron: Yeah, that little wisp of a girl there, Emma, she don't even look like she could cock a Winchester to fire, much less fire it one handed. Hell, I can't even do that.
Uriel Iscariot: Elemental manipulation {own drink} - no booze
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} [1d10+2 = 11]
Rose Dawson: I know what I saw!
Uriel turns whiskey to water.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): And nothing of value was lost
TADM: And also in the news today: The country of Ireland declared war on Dave.
Uriel Iscariot: And they are off a 'gin! Seesh
Doc Osgood: Say, I heard that Shelly was in town. Oh wow - everyone is back.
Ike Turnbull: Hello all.
Uriel Iscariot: Ike
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 7]
Jonah Thurgood: I just walked over from the Church. Given the mess there I think we should burn it to the ground.
[w] Dr. MacVellian -> Uriel Iscariot: Any idea how we could reach Tacheene from here? I want my mech back w/o going to the mine
Dr. MacVellian: Agreed!!
Dr. MacVellian: I'll find some torches!
Dr. MacVellian: runs off to find some
Uriel Iscariot: Kn Bible [1d6 = 2]
Ike is wearing a bowler hat, has a short, squat little body stuffed into an undersized suit, and looks to be perpetually out of breath. You remember hearing from someone he was the town Assayer.
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): Ass-slayer? Poor donkeys
Uriel Iscariot: Hey hey now, it's the holy man's job to put out torches, it's the teachers job to light them. Don't get me inolved in this church burnin, i don't care if it is tainted or not....
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): OK, so now that I've emerged from that hellhole, what is going on?
[w] Uriel Iscariot -> Dr. MacVellian: ill talk to him
Dr. MacVellian: goes back inside
Uriel Iscariot: Dr. MacVellian, I will only let you burn the church if you can out drink me.
Shelly Pearl: Alright, so here's a drink to Uriel, Zach, and MacVellian for their brave efforts.
Bar Patron: Yay for Drinks!
Rose Dawson: And Emma for killing all those Archer gang guys.
Uriel Iscariot: Toasts and guzzles a beverage
Uriel Iscariot: Oooh !ooh! Make me a prohibitionist!
Ray Wisely: So, what plans do you have now?
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Fuck no, I'll just believe in literal transsubstantiation and then its not wine anymore.!
Bar Patron: (drunkenly) Heysh Doctor Macks-vellia, you married? Lets go up stairs and have some fun.
Uriel Iscariot: We're gonna make this town a shining beacon of copper, so big the whole west will think of us when they think copper!
Lizzie Pierce: (slaps drunken bar patron)
Dr. MacVellian: Thank you Lizzie
Shelly Pearl: (points gun at drunken bar patron)
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): Even better!
Taylor Johnson: Woah! None of that, he's just a little drunk.
Uriel Iscariot: Now naturally, we will want to build a great cathedral to honor who really saved.....HEY no violence!
Bar Patron: (drunkenly) Little, who you calling little pencil dick?
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): He's not a little drunk, he's a big dumbass
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I remember the last time someone tried to fix being drunk, he killed the mayor, if I remember right
Ray Wisely: Now now, trust me, a woman that homely is not worth dying over.
Ike Turnbull: Amen to that Brother.
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): Assholez
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): He insulted the womenfolk with guns, GET DOWN!
Zach Dallas laughs
Uriel Iscariot: Checking for cover
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 4]
Mike Hall: (begins playing "Who let the dogs out?")
Jonah Thurgood: Hey, I think I know that one.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): how do you play that on a piano?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): he's got skills
Mike Hall: (begins playing "Let's Get the Party Started")
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): anyone playing games?
Rose Dawson: I'm down with that.
Zach Dallas: Notice [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d4 = 1]
Zach Dallas: [1d6 = 3]
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): Have him play 'party like it's 1999'
GM: There is much drinking going on, there is not much gambling going on right now. Unless you want to start up a game.
Uriel Iscariot: GAMBLE!
Uriel Iscariot: Busts out a deck of cards on the table
Uriel Iscariot: Who's game?
Zach Dallas: Hey, Uriel, want to get a rousing game up?
Jonah Thurgood: Well, good night all, I'm heading to bed.
Everyone waves to the Blacksmith as he leaves.
Zach Dallas: Take care
Doc Osgood: I'm out also. Good job on whatever it was you did that saved the town.
Zach Dallas: and keep your eyes peeled
Ray Wisely: I'm good for a game of poker or two. Low stakes though.
Shelly Pearl: I only gamble with my life, never my money.
Emma Evans: I don't even know how to play.
Ike Turnbull: See you all later.
Zach Dallas: I'm up for a game or two, depending on my luck
Mike Hall: (begins playing, "The Gambler")
Dr. MacVellian: I'll sit and talk with the other ladies. At least they're smart enough to stay out of a game when Mr. Dallas plays
Zach Dallas: Gambling [1d6 = 9]
Dr. MacVellian: Wishes everyone who left goodnight
Uriel Iscariot: Gambling [1d6 = 5]
[w] Zach Dallas: for my recent level I'm increasing Shooting by one and Persuasion by one
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Good idea. Did you bump up the dice or you want me to?
[w] Zach Dallas: I just did it
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Your bonus cards are "8 of diamonds" and "Queen of Spades"
[w] Zach Dallas: what are my normal cards?
[w] -> Uriel Iscariot: your bonus card is "2 of spades"
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): hot damn, if that 8 was black I would be crying
Zach Dallas: Keep
Uriel Iscariot: Persuasion [1d8 = 7]
Uriel Iscariot: I think you want to concede. You don't want to lose money. =)
Zach Dallas: Guts {+3 Seasoned/True Grit} [Critical failure!] [1d4+3 = 4]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): ROFL
Zach Dallas is using a benny
Zach Dallas: Guts {+3 Seasoned/True Grit} [1d4+3 = 9]
So after a few rounds of poker, Zach ends up about $5 ahead.
[w] Zach Dallas: any noticible amount of Dead Man's Hand?
[w] -> Dr. MacVellian: So is there anything specific you want to talk about with Rose, Emma, Shelly, or Lizzie?
Uriel Iscariot: Aight broham, here's yer 5 bucks.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Isabella went.
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Not at all.
[w] Dr. MacVellian: Just about what happened with the Archer gang. I'm mostly sitting out to read what happened before I joined in last week
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): She's the wandering monster in Munchkin(C). Someone said "F YOU" and there you go, level 20 monster. You lose.
TADM: Well yes, if need be she could rather easily kill the entire party. I would put her well above level 20 though. Definitely EPIC MUNCHKIN.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): No really, she just left. Not much explanation. She was prolly just making sure this town didnt get totally effed up and that her little pets arent messing things up too badly
Zach Dallas: Round two, gentlemen?
Uriel Iscariot: Oh sure.
Uriel Iscariot: Gambling [Critical failure!] [1d6 = 1]
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [1d6 = 3]
Zach Dallas: Gambling [1d6 = 4]
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): SNAKE EYEEEEES!
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): I got the "rules" card dealt to me.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): "Wtf is this"
Dr. MacVellian: brb
The night passes quierly and uneventfully. The next morning dawns rather brightly. The shadows do not seem as horrible as before and the world seems to be a brighter and cheerier place.
Uriel Iscariot: Aight peoples. We got work to do.
Uriel Iscariot: Now this may sound a little cheezy, but we need to take care of a bunch of rats...prolly.
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): fill the church with cheese b4 we burn it to the ground
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): brb again. important call
Miner: (rides into town shouting) We hit the Mother Lode! Every single seam is bursting with copper! Hell, it's sitting on the ground as nuggets!
Zach Dallas: HAHA
Uriel Iscariot: Well there's your Mr. T at work, Zach Dallas
Miner #2: (rides into town shouting) I just came from the Crooked Earth Mine! There's so much copper there it will take dynamite just to get back to the Mine entrance!
Shelly Pearl: Well now, this is a promising start to the day.
Zach Dallas: I'm glad the town can recover
Uriel Iscariot: A slightly mischevious look washes over Uriels Face.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): oooh
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): shall we explain what happened?
Uriel Iscariot: Hear ye Hear ye! The Lord hath graced thy town with deliverance from evil! Before thee take these gifts without due, remembereth he who gave for you, remember, in your CHURCH DONATIONS!
Uriel Iscariot: Persuasion {people's hearts and wallets}
Uriel Iscariot: Persuasion [1d6 = 8]
Miner: Amen preacher! (throws a bag full of copper nuggets at Uriel's feet) I got nine more where that came from! Ten percent to the Lord!
Miner #2: Woohoo!
Miner #2: (tosses another bag of copper nuggets at Uriel)
Emma Evans: Shelly, I'm going to go see if I can find my family. Been nice riding with you.
Shelly Pearl: Yeah, sure thing Emma, take care. You find yourself in Coffin Rock again, come see me. We could use a sheriff.
Emma Evans: Err...I don't know how to use a gun.
Shelly Pearl: (looks very skeptically at Emma) Oooo....kayyyy
Zach Dallas: Emma. Could I speak with you for a minute?
Emma Evans: Sure thing Mr. Dallas.
Uriel Iscariot: That's right folks! The Lord was always with ye! Lest you not forgeteh of him, he shall provideth!
[w] Zach Dallas: did I manage to get an address from my Hunch, or do I just know the general location of her family?
Rose Dawson: Bullshit on the "can't use a gun thing" - I seen her swivel cock a Winchester.
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Denver.
[w] Dr. MacVellian -> Uriel Iscariot: Mind asking Mr T to teleport my mech here?
Uriel Iscariot: Shinies and general carrying on prevent Uriel from getting into this developing spat
Zach Dallas: You're off to Denver to meet up with your family, right?
Rose Dawson: (sulks off)
Uriel Iscariot: Should thee come across this machine husk deep the the bowels of the earth, do not forget to bring it to Dr. MacVellian!
Taylor Johnson: Hey Shelly, so the folks around here were talking, and given that your dad started this town, and the Mayor's dead (glares at Uriel) we'd like you to become mayor.
Shelly Pearl: Well thanks Taylor, I'll do my best.
Emma Evans: Yeah, I'm hoping they are all right after all the troubles around here.
Zach Dallas: Eh, I have some good and bad news, then.
Uriel Iscariot: And let us not forget the heroes that were but the instruments of the lord, those who's hearts were ready to carry out his miracles, for a machine was left in the mine, and now it must be reclaimethed!
Zach Dallas: Unfortunately, it seems like the Blood Men started appearing before your family left
Zach Dallas: One of them...got to your sister.
Emma Evans: What??? Which one?
Zach Dallas: Samantha
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Thanks for taking care of the dirty work.
Zach Dallas: She was left as a ghost in the School House
Emma Evans: NOOOO!!!! (runs toward school house)
Zach Dallas: chases after
Zach Dallas: Wait up!
Shelly Pearl: What? Now what'd you do to Emma? Plum girl has gone loco or something.
Dr. MacVellian: I better go with the miners, since I know where it is
Uriel Iscariot: Do you know though? Mr. T could have moved it. Maybe he can't even touch it though, it is .....dirty...
[w] Zach Dallas: let me know when we reach the school house or if she stops running
Zach Dallas: I'm only halfway done!
Emma runs into the school house, sobbing wildly and looking around for her sister's ghost.
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 2]
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Well i guess that means I do not see much of the Zach/Emma situation
Shelly Pearl: Well, Mr Johnson, let's get things organized. New claims will be coming in and there is a lot of work to do.
Ray Wisely: Plus I need some help in my store. There are like 10000 dead mice on the floor. GROSS!
Zach Dallas: She gave us a bit of trouble when we first got here
Emma Evans: (sobs) Little Samantha!
Zach Dallas: But we did give her a proper buriel
Zach Dallas: removes hat
Zach Dallas: My condolences
Dr. MacVellian: follows the miners to the mine
Zach Dallas: I can take you to her grave, if you would like.
Outside the mine, Doctor MacVellian finds her mech. It is covered in shiny copper plating. The internal wiring needs some work.
Zach Dallas: We haven't had a chance to put up a headstone yet
Emma Evans: (sobs) I guess...
[w] Zach Dallas: could I tell how many people of her family were moving to Denver?
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Nope.
Dr. MacVellian: attempts to get it running so i can get it on the cart
Dr. MacVellian: Repair [1d8 = 7]
Zach Dallas: leads Emma to the gravesite
MacVellian fixes her Mech.
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): yay
Dr. MacVellian: I'll never lose you again!
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I call shenanigans. Otherwise the next Coffin Rock we go to will be your last
Dr. MacVellian: hugs the mech, then jumps out of the cart, causing it to roll down the path
Dr. MacVellian: Come back!!!
Dr. MacVellian: runs after it and catches it
Uriel Iscariot: Hear ye Hear ye! The Lord needeth your Hands, and needeth your Skill! Thy Town hath been stolen back from Satan's hands, as have been your souls!
Emma cires a lot at the grave. Then she decides to leave for Denver.
Zach Dallas: I'll make sure we get a tombstone put up for her.
Uriel Iscariot: Giveth now, your time and talent, that we may build a new church, to prevent us leaving his sight again!
Zach Dallas: Also, if I may ask: How much do you remember of the last few days?
Taylor Johnson: Hey Shelly, as Mayor can you do something about these loud, obnoxious, murdering street preachers? It's like I'm in god-damn Ann Arbor or something.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): "Homosexuals will burn" "Evolution is wrong" "God hates you"
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): That guy is so funny. He takes on the Zerg every saturday
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): that third one is rather harsh
Dr. MacVellian: heads back to town
Emma Evans: Not much. I remember Shelly being shot. Then I went to the hideout with Isabella. We were getting Shelly comfortable when some Indian guy showed up. He talked with Isabella for a while. I went to sleep. Everything after that is a bit hazy.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Have you seen those dudes though? Ok even IM not this stupid. They go to the beating heart of the most liberal town in 3 states, and open up shop. Thats either suicidal or awesome
Emma Evans: I remember meeting you and the others at the hideout a couple days ago. At least, I think it was a couple days ago.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Seriously funny stuff though
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Successful Troll is Successful
Shelly Pearl: Well, as the Preacher says Mr. Johnson, we need a new church. Let's put some of these drunks to work. Sober them up and get this town rolling.
Taylor Johnson: Sounds like a plan.
Uriel Iscariot: Eyes narrow upon hearing the word "drunks"
Shelly Pearl: Oh, and Mr. Wisely, I'll send Rose and a couple girls over, I think we'll just burn down the store and the mice, then build you a new one.
Ray Wisely: Well, that's better than nothing.
Shelly sends some drunks with Uriel to do "hard work" so they sober up building a new house of God.
Uriel Iscariot: Drunks! Hear me now! Let not your mind and body go to waste! Thy body be a temple to the LORD!
Uriel Iscariot: Persuasion [1d8 = 6]
Zach Dallas: Also, did he happen to call her Grim Wolf?
Zach Dallas: or any other odd names?
Emma Evans: They talked in some Indian language, didn't understand a word of it.
Zach Dallas: Hm. Did you do anything strange when you saw that Indian guy?
Emma Evans: No. Mr. Dallas, I remember wondering how Shelly was going to live through the night. Then I fell asleep. When I woke up the next morning Shelly was fine. The Indian guy was there. He said he was waiting for some others to fight the darkness, it was our job to keep hope alive.
Zach Dallas: Eh, that was pretty much expected
Zach Dallas: I do wish you luck. I know your family moved into Denver, but I don't know any of the details
Emma Evans: Thank you Mister Dallas.
Uriel Iscariot: Makes water for the workers, and otherwise tries to brainwash them
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} [1d10+2 = 10]
Drunk Worker: Ooooh! Durrr durrr durrr....
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): HERE THEY BE DRUNK ON THE GLORY OF THE LORD
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): That is the Nate ability
Emma heads north out of town.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Total disregard for team
Zach Dallas: So, I can mark off #3 on my list of things to do
Zach Dallas: Now for #2
Zach Dallas: heads over to Shelly
Shelly Pearl: Yes Mr. Dallas?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): do we still have a lot of people around us?
GM: You can wait till the crowd thins out. Shelly eventually heads over to the Mayor's office and sets up there to run things.
Zach Dallas: Well, I'll approach when the crowd has thinned down enough for a private chat
[w] Uriel Iscariot: so wait, there is no preacher left in the town?
GM: Okay, chat away.
[w] -> Uriel Iscariot: That would be correct.
[w] Uriel Iscariot: Hrm.....
Zach Dallas: The three of us were actually sent here by Wyatt Earp, one of the deputies of Dodge City
Shelly Pearl: Yes, Wyatt, you mentioned him earlier. He seems like a nice guy, I had dinner with him.
Zach Dallas: he wanted us to check up on his friend, Mayor Daly
Shelly Pearl: Yeah, that would be my dad, John Daly. (crosses herself) Rest in Peace dad. You are avenged.
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): Let me know when I get back to town. I'll want to try getting the copper off the outside. Unless it looks like the whole thing is copper plated
Zach Dallas: Do you know what happened?
GM: Oh, it is not only copper plated, but the copper is fused on to the Mech. It is all shiny and bright.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): teehee
Shelly Pearl: Yeah, Bryce shot him and stole all the deeds to the town.
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): sweet
Zach Dallas: Hot damn. I'm glad we killed him
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): that and the fact that Greed was the main worry
Shelly Pearl: I don't care what anyone says, Bryce deserved to die.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): told you it was a good idea
Zach Dallas: And you plan on staying here, then? Taking over as Mayor?
Zach Dallas: This will probably become quite the booming town
Shelly Pearl: Well, I reckon that is what my dad would want, and I owe it to him.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): IS counting the dollar signs. Call in the next 15 minutes for YOUR SALVATION!
Zach Dallas: nods
Shelly Pearl: Not sure what happened to Emma, hope she finds her family and her way again. Swear the girl went plum loco after that strange woman talked all mumbo-jumbo to her outside the church.
Zach Dallas: Yeah, Isabella has that effect
Zach Dallas: I imagine it was either her or Laughs-at-Darkness who triggered that
Zach Dallas: Have we managed to recover the deeds yet?
Shelly Pearl: Yes, there was a spare set in the Mayor's Office. The indian guy told us about them, said "Isabella" put the spares there.
Zach Dallas: Good, good. I would also like to ask a favor
Shelly Pearl: Sure, almost anything. Just realize you aren't my type.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Wha? a good ol' sly huckster like Zach? Daymmmmn
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): You just got PUT DOWN. Owwwwww
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): Ask her if she's into chicks lol
Zach Dallas: Very funny. I like my head where it is, though. Anyway, there's an unmarked grave, dug only a couple days ago. It belongs to Samantha Evans, but we haven't had the chance to put a headstone up for her. She died toward the beginning of this ordeal and was left as a ghost in the schoolhouse until Uriel helped her pass on
Shelly Pearl: Emma's sister?
Zach Dallas: Yes
Zach Dallas: I already told her before we left
Zach Dallas: I promised to get a good tombstone up
Zach Dallas: I think the rest of her family made it out, but they left after Samantha went missing
Shelly Pearl: Well, after everything Emma did, whether she remembers it or not, I owe her my life. I'll see Samantha gets a nice headstone and her grave is taken care of.
Zach Dallas: Thank you
Zach Dallas: Other than that, I think I'm about done with errands.
Zach Dallas: if you need anything, feel free to ask
The bonfire of the New Covenant Church is in full swing when Doctor MacVellian shows up with her copper plated Mech.
Uriel Iscariot: Contacts the local telegram office. "To Church: Send out a replacement for this town. Just hit mining paydirt. Need persuasive preacher."
TADM: There is no telegraph office in town.
Uriel Iscariot: Well isn't that just the cat's meow.
Dr. MacVellian: Awww you coulda waited for me!
Shelly Pearl: I think I'm good for now. Like I told Emma, you ever find yourself in Coffin Rock again, let me know.
Zach Dallas: No problem
Uriel Iscariot: The Hands of the LORD do not wait for lifeless machinery to do their work for them!
Uriel Iscariot: Purify with Fire!
Shelly Pearl: And, not sure what is going on in Emma's head, but if you could look after her a little, I'd appreciate it. I think I'm going to be busy here for a while.
Zach Dallas: Sure thing. Do we have a post office here, yet?
Shelly Pearl: It will need to reopen once the stage shows up on a regular basis again.
Zach Dallas: If you could send an update to Wyatt when it gets running, that'd be splended. Give him our regards.
Uriel Iscariot: Let the sins of the past burn away, that our church may be built anew!
Shelly Pearl: No problem and thanks again, Zach Dallas.
Zach Dallas: We'll follow after Emma toward Denver in that case
Zach Dallas heads out toward the bonfire
GM: Okay, so what would the group like to do now?
Zach Dallas: OK, so after what happened with Sammy, I'd like to know how the rest of Emma's family is doing
Zach Dallas: I'd hate to have an entire vengeful family of undead after me
Zach Dallas: (one family member of each type)
TADM: Too late.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): [X] Ghost
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): [ ] Vampire
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): [ ] Zombie
Uriel Iscariot: Hey, how bout we all go on down to that theater we never got to go to
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): [ ] Dracolich
Uriel Iscariot: and sit down for a bit
Uriel Iscariot: I think we deserve it
Zach Dallas: HELL NO
TADM: Well, I didn't have plans for a Dracolich, but since you mentioned it.
Zach Dallas: The barmaid was telling stories of horror from that place
Uriel Iscariot: Whats the matter Zach? Whatever horrible un-theatre it was, it isnt now.
Zach Dallas: Anyway, Shelley also requested that we follow up with Emma and make sure things turn out well for her or at least keep her alive until her life settles down
Uriel Iscariot: :looks at crowd of brainwashed people working:
Zach Dallas: They'll be fine. You have God looking out for them, right?
Uriel Iscariot: Oh fine. I suppose we ought to do just that.
Uriel Iscariot: But...I was really having fun there for once.
Zach Dallas: Doc, you have any opini---AHAHAHAHA LOOK AT THAT THING!
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 10]
Dr. MacVellian: What's wrong with it? I think it looks like battle armor
Zach Dallas: I must say I like the fashion statement
Zach Dallas: No, it looks like a beacon of "shoot me," Which, quite frankly, I don't mind
Zach Dallas pulls out a dagger
Zach Dallas chips at the armor
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): how durable?
Zach Dallas: Stealth {--2 Untrained:Mike} [1d6-2 = 7]
Dr. MacVellian: Notice [1d8 = 10]
Dr. MacVellian: Weird Science {+2 Honey Vial} [1d8+2 = 9]
Zach Dallas: OK, OK. Here, I'll set my THREE KNIVES right here. Can I take a close look now?
Uriel Iscariot: ....
Uriel Iscariot: One second you were all "Lets check on Emma"
Uriel Iscariot: Now you are like a kid with a toy
Uriel Iscariot: ..and its not even your toy!
Uriel Iscariot: :leaves to go get some tobacco while these two are froggin around:
Zach Dallas: Let's go now
Dr. MacVellian: Security system damage
Zach Dallas: By the way, is that copper steel-durable or is it copper-durable
Dr. MacVellian: [1d6 = 3]
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): BZZZZT!!!!!!
Dr. MacVellian: Did I forget to mention the new electrified security system?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I'm not actually doing anything now. I'm just asking
Uriel Iscariot: ....
Uriel Iscariot: Emma?
Zach Dallas: Let's head out after her
Dr. MacVellian: I don't think I'm going to tell you that
Uriel Iscariot: Follows Zach
Zach Dallas: Suit yourself. But if it breaks due to your ignorance it's your fault
Zach Dallas smiles
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Zach has First Blood on Puns
Zach Dallas: I am
The group rides the wagon out of town. The large, HEAVY, copper coated Mech slows you down a bit.
About fifteen minutes outside of town, the group sees a burned corpse lying by the side of the road.
Zach Dallas: oh shit
GM: Notice checks
Dr. MacVellian: Notice [1d6 = 8]
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 9]
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 5]
[w] Zach Dallas: Deal for Deflection
Uriel Iscariot: Oh not this again....
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Do you want to use the Joker?
[w] Zach Dallas: only if I would fail otherwise
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Two pair if you don't use the Joker.
[w] Zach Dallas: raise>pass>using a Joker for any reason>fail
[w] Zach Dallas: I'll keep the 2 pair
Sadly, you are able to figure out that the corpse is, unfortunately, Emma Evans. It looks like she was shot by a rifle and then set on fire. A nasty, gruesome way to die.
Uriel Iscariot: ....
Uriel Iscariot: WHAT?
Dr. MacVellian: Awwww :(
Uriel Iscariot: Is angry. Really angry
[w] Zach Dallas: Hunch
[w] Zach Dallas: looking for the murderer
Dr. MacVellian: searches for a shell casing to determine distance when she was shot
Dr. MacVellian: Investigation [1d4 = 2]
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting [1d8 = 4]
There is a note stuck to her chest. It reads, "Did you miss me? Hugs and Kisses. C" There is a Queen of Spades affixed to the paper.
Zach Dallas: Dammit
Zach Dallas sighs
MacVellian does not find a shell casing within 100' of Emma's body.
Dr. MacVellian: Why must your problems follow you everywhere we go?
Zach Dallas: Really? I had thought that Cynthia Grey was more of a group problem
TADM: And another poor defenseless person gets killed. First the Hoveys, now this.
Uriel Iscariot: Now, the violence sort of offends me, but thats only becasue of a disadvantage. What really offends me is this in your face sexuality, Hugs and kisses? Do 10 hail marys right now zach!
Uriel Iscariot: Clean up your act son!
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Do you still want to hunch?
[w] Zach Dallas: sure thing. But I want to check out her time of death
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting [1d8 = 21]
TADM: Bimodal distribution attack!
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): well, that should get a full short story
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): so, a story?
Uriel Iscariot: Continues to rant and rave, believing Zach had some part in this mess, but refusing to leave a soul un-preached
Uriel Iscariot: The fact that he is deep in his hucksterish ways and not responding leads Uriel to believe he is being listened to.
Uriel Iscariot: Blah blah blah....Are you even listening to me? Now what in the hell are you doing in some sort of twisted relationship with some sort of deviant murderer?
[w] -> Zach Dallas: You see Emma walking down the road. She stops and looks at something in the distance. Then she drops over, clutching her chest as blood pours from a wound. Several minutes later, Cynthia Grey walks up and squats down next to Emma as the young woman gasps for breath. "Aww, nothing personal. I just need to send a message along. Although I see why Isabella liked you. Well, say hello to Saint Peter for me." Cynthia then touches Emma's forehead and the girl screams as she bursts into flames. Cynthia stands there for a minute or two while Emma burns. Then she touches the burning corpse again and the fire goes out. She puts the note down on Emma's chest. Then she looks in the direction of the town and smiles. "Ah...so he is not so late after all." She disappears from view as the wagon carrying the three of you arrives. (Literally disappears, think "invisibility spell")
[w] Zach Dallas: how noticible would tracks be in this ground? I'm thinking like "Invisible person standing in water" or "on grass" sort of things
[w] Zach Dallas: ways to find her without actually seeing her
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Ludicrous Tracking check.
Zach Dallas looks around
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): oh
Zach Dallas tracking
Zach Dallas: Stealth {--2 Untrained:Mike} [1d4-2 = 4]
GM: I believe Zach has a few choice things to say to the rest of the group? Or should I just roll for the surprise round now?
Zach Dallas: Grey can turn invisible
Zach Dallas draws pistols
Zach Dallas: and she's still here
Dr. MacVellian: oh. great
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Lols

Kazemi (Zach Dallas): my voice was low, by the way
Three gun shots ring out and the horses pulling the wagon drop over dead.
Zach Dallas: Notice [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 4]
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 5]

Cynthia Grey: (floating voice from nearby) Hugs and Kisses! Love you bunches.
Zach Dallas: fires at it
Zach Dallas: Shooting [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 3]
The shots would have come from somewhere to your left.
Zach Dallas is using a benny
Zach Dallas: Shooting [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 5]
Zach Dallas: GLAD I WASTED A LEVEL ON YOU, YOU DAMMED D8
The voice came from somewhere to your right.
Uriel Iscariot: At first convenience....Quicken Self
GM: Any actions?
[w] Zach Dallas: did the bullet that killed Emma make any noise?
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Not that you heard.
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} +2 (Seasoned Power -4) [1d10-2 = 4]
Dr. MacVellian: looks for any sign of footprints, or dirt being distrupted by someone moving

Three more shots ring out, catching each of you in the thigh and dropping you to the ground.
GM: The GM highly recommends SOAK ROLLS for Zach and MacVellian!
Uriel Iscariot: And...that makes a second convenience to heal Zach
[w] Zach Dallas: even me?
Dr. MacVellian is using a benny
Uriel Iscariot: Greater Healing

Zach Dallas: Vigor [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 9]
[w] Zach Dallas: (Persuasion)(Lie) Yes
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Well, since I can scroll back and check, no.
[w] Zach Dallas: curse you technology!
GM: Well, thanks to Uriel and some Soak rolls, everyone manages to survive the hail of bullets.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Direction?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): also: Triangulate
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 2]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 5]
Dr. MacVellian: Notice [1d6 = 11]
Cynthia Grey: (voice is ahead of you) Bye now. I'll be back a little later to give Zach the whipping he deserves. I promise he'll like it. I'll even let Uriel watch, being the pervert that he is.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): did the shots come from the left again? That's the make/break point
Uriel Iscariot: Who you calling a pervert?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I'm assuming she can throw her voice
GM: The shots came from the left and in front of you slightly.
Uriel Iscariot: What sort of magic is about?
Uriel Iscariot: Kn Occult {+2 Honey Vial} [1d6+2 = 6]
[w] Zach Dallas: could I drop my guns for a double Blast with a wide AOE in that area?
[w] Zach Dallas: it is also to let a ton of dust into the air
Uriel Iscariot: Listen Witch, Stop this crap now, ya 'hear?
GM: The kind of Dark Magic that makes your skin crawl. Ms. Grey is definitely in league with evil powers. The kind that summons demons into churches.
[w] -> Zach Dallas: You could single blast the area. It would definitely kick up the dust.
[w] Zach Dallas: I'll deal to do that, then
[w] Uriel Iscariot: If I clutch my relic cross, can I see her?
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Full House, 10s and 4s.
[w] -> Uriel Iscariot: No, but I am going to assume you are clutching it for what is about to happen. ;)
[w] Zach Dallas: sweet. Instant cast with a raise (which does nothing)
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Indeed.
Zach Dallas: Throws a card in the direction the shots came from
Zach Dallas: large green explosion follows
Zach Dallas: as well as a lot of dust
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d6 = 3]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): FFFFFFFFFFFF
Dr. MacVellian: Notice [Critical failure!] [1d8 = 1]
Dr. MacVellian is using a benny
Uriel Iscariot: Aww ballz....
Dr. MacVellian: Notice [1d6 = 11]
The card flies out a short distance. A small winged creature materializes out of the air, grabs the card, and flies straight back at Zach.
Imp: Candygram for Mister Dallas! Candygram for Mister Dallas!
Imp: Mongo go boom!
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): SHOOOT IT
Zach Dallas: SHOOT IT
Zach Dallas: Dives out of the cart
Uriel Iscariot: Shield on Zach, then Dr. MacVellian as my action(s)
Uriel Iscariot: Agility (Novice Power Penalty -2, Novice Power Penalty -2) [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6-4 = -2]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): does that creature have my card?

Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} +2 (Novice Power Penalty -2) [1d10 = 5]
The small winged creature throws the supercharged card back at Zach Dallas.
Imp: D6 [3d6 = 4]
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): (again Im just a support toon, I dont DPS)
[w] Zach Dallas: it's only 2D6 damage
[w] -> Zach Dallas: I rolled a 2, 1, 1 - so it doesn't make a difference.
[w] Zach Dallas: kk
GM: The card explodes for no effect.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): dust affect?
Uriel Iscariot: Creature {what the hell is it}
Uriel Iscariot: Kn Occult {+2 Honey Vial} [1d6+2 = 7]
Imp: Awww....no throwing cards at the Mistress! You bad bad man!
Zach Dallas: Ah, so she IS over there
Zach Dallas: Thank you for the useful information
The creature is a minor demon of Hell. A messenger type creature that frequently is in the service of evil wizards.
[w] Zach Dallas: is it large enough to tank a stick of dynamite?
Dust and blowing dust fly through the air.
[w] -> Zach Dallas: As in grab and throw back? Yes.
[w] -> Zach Dallas: As in survive the explosion? Probably not.
Uriel Iscariot: Brandish my Crucifix at it
Dr. MacVellian: attempt to determine her location
Imp: By Lucifer's Leather Leisure Suit! RUN!
Dr. MacVellian: Unskilled {--2 Unskilled} [1d4-2 = 3]
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): aww f
Imp: (explodes in a shower of sparks)
Uriel Iscariot: Back unclean servant of the Lost Angels!, Back to the empty embrace of sin!
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): true
Dr. MacVellian: Notice [1d6 = 9]
Uriel Iscariot: And for action 2....
GM: It is a pretty awesome Crucifix. It evens gets to be capitalized.
Uriel Iscariot: Windstorm - looking for cloaked figures through distortions
GM: MacVellian sees no sign of other people in the area. Even with the help of having the dust outline them.
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} +2 (Novice Power Penalty -2) [1d10 = 8]
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 17]
Uriel Iscariot: No Daemon will hide from my eyes forever, Wytch!
With that ludicrously high Notice check, you spot a cloaked figure about 480' away. She waves at you then seems to melt into the ground.
[w] Zach Dallas: oh, that stupid woman. I'm going to have to take Detect Arcana just to get back at her
Uriel Iscariot: Tachneene! Hear me now! Purge what hath desecended into your bounds, that we may rid the world of it's wickedness now and forever!
GM: Ooohh....nice try. That is almost Benny worthy. But elicits no response from the Earth Spirit.
Dr. MacVellian: climbs into my mech after hearing Uriel's statement
Dr. MacVellian: Starting it up
Dr. MacVellian: Weird Science {+2 Honey Vial} [1d6+2 = 7]
GM: The Mech powers up just fine.
Dr. MacVellian: Which way did it go?
Dr. MacVellian: starts up drill
Dr. MacVellian: Weird Science {+2 Honey Vial} [1d8+2 = 9]
Zach Dallas: Hell if I know
Zach Dallas Jumps back on the wagon
Uriel Iscariot: Notice for Vultures in the area
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 5]
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 2]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I give up
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I'm done with Notice for this battle
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I'm clearly predestined to be useless
GM: You see a swarm of birds, they look like crows or small vultures, heading for you.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): MINE!
Uriel Iscariot: Beast Pal {tm}
TADM: I don't think it was predestined, I think it was ordained by dice.
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} +2 (Novice Power Penalty -2) [1d10 = 12]
Uriel Iscariot: For the Lord gifted the Vulture with sight beyond sight, and foreknowledge beyond the ken of mortals!
Uriel Iscariot: Share now with us that which only thee can seeth and knoweth! Where be the Witch, Cynthia?
GM: You beast pal a crow. It sends feelings of rage and anger to you. Also, you notice that thousands of earthworms, termites, cockroaches, and other carrion creatures are swarming toward you.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Uriel Iscariot: Something about this situation bugs me...
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): TOO FRIENDLY! WILD EMPATHY CHECK! WILD EMPATHY CHECK!
TADM: LOL
Zach Dallas: What did you see?
Uriel Iscariot: ..I suggest we run and talk about it later
Zach Dallas: Alright. Good luck, Doc. I think we'll split up temporarily for right now
Uriel Iscariot: Now, if I had my bee bee gun, we could kill all these bugs...
Dr. MacVellian: Splitting up never ends well
Zach Dallas: Which way? Shall we rush to the train station or to Coffin Rock again?
Zach Dallas: Then leave the machine here
Dr. MacVellian: Coffin Rock's closer. And no
Zach Dallas: Up to you, Uriel
Dr. MacVellian: Last time I left it somewhere, I had to fix it
Zach Dallas: You're the Town Killer
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): "I had to fix it"
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): it got stolen for 3 days
Uriel Iscariot: Stop with these antics. We're gonna end up playing cricket with that mess if we dont split.
Zach Dallas: /squelch Uriel Iscariot
Dr. MacVellian: Don't make me squash you
GM: Doomy doom doom!
TADM: Do I need to start a countdown timer?
Zach Dallas Follows Uriel
Uriel Iscariot: RUN! RUN!
Zach Dallas: I don't know which way is the safest
Dr. MacVellian: Let's book for town. We're only 15 min away, and the mayor essentially pardoned us of all guilt
TADM: That was before the plague of locusts descended on town....
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Oh no! but we just saved em!
Uriel Iscariot: Smarts [1d6 = 5]
Uriel Iscariot: Direction of town
GM: Well, you know what direction town is.
Uriel Iscariot: Though I still don't get how she found us in the first place, unless she stuck some bugs on us....
Uriel Iscariot: Cool. Run away from it
GM: I suspect that she has some way of tracking one or more members of the group.
Zach Dallas: I suspect she did something to your Mech there
Dr. MacVellian: search for another Queen of Spades in my mech or on my person (esp my boot)
Dr. MacVellian: Notice [1d8 = 7]
The group runs away from the town, after a few seconds of running, the ground around you erupts like a pair of hands bursting from the earth. They close around you, cupping you safely inside the palms. Tacheene's face appears on one of the palms. He smiles.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Well YOU have an infernal device, YOU have cursed cards; your faults
Zach Dallas: Thank you OH SO MUCH
Dr. MacVellian: turns off drill immediately
Tacheene: Your strange little digging machine is most amusing to me.
Tacheene: You brought great evil into my lands, but you saved my life. So we are even now.
Zach Dallas: A pleasure doing business with you
Uriel Iscariot: Hey look, we just found the Buzz Stop. Out of here please.
Zach Dallas: I don't suppose you can just kill her?
Tacheene: Yes, out of here will be good.
Tacheene: Unfortunately, no matter the evil, I cannot directly kill a human.
Zach Dallas: Are you sure she's a human? We've already killed her once
Uriel Iscariot: Thinks to himself : At least my god knows how to smite things once in a while
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): The Lord saveth those who save themselves. Interesting eh?
Tacheene: Well, I guess I can try killing her and see if something stops me.
Tacheene: But I know in my current shape, the battle would not end well for me. Much evil is contained within her.
Zach Dallas: We may wish to wait, then
Tacheene: Better to remove you from my lands and hope she follows. Although if you come back in a few months, I would be interested in seeing if I could squish her.
Uriel Iscariot: Aye. Your heart is gold, but in this case your vision is crystal enough to see the outcome...
Zach Dallas: Thank you for your consideratoin
The hands melt back into the ground, gently depositing you near a building that reads, "Grand Junction Railroad Station"
Tacheene: Fare thee well.
Uriel Iscariot: Youre a real rockstar Tacheene.
Uriel Iscariot: Rock on.
Zach Dallas: I hope to see you in a few months
Dr. MacVellian: A very well-grounded individual
Zach Dallas: Take care
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): ITS SPREADING!
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I will not participate in this dishonor
Nick (Dr. MacVellian): Okay, ttyl everyone
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Cya man. Thanks
[w] Dr. MacVellian: Sheet is upgraded
Campaign saved.
