Savage Worlds Ruleset for Fantasy Grounds II
(c) 2009 Pinnacle Entertainment Group.
Stinky Pete goes to the mayor of town and asks "When you put money into road de-icer, do you put it in a slush fund, or do you consider it a frozen asset?"
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): 7/10
It is now 1200 on February 23, 1880.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): As I recall, pretty much everyone in this town was dead
Nick (Stinky Pete): awww I thought of that like Tuesday and have been banking it for WIN. Guess it's only a win
The now mostly uninhabited town of Blank's Springs, population 5, is again eerily quiet.
Ezekial Ikwiano declares himself mayor of Blank's Springs.
Nick (Stinky Pete): Fear level, please
The bodies of the Evans sisters seem to age and dissipate into ash very quickly. Except for Grace, who was already reduced to a smoldering pile of ash.
Stinky Pete: So, ashes to ashes. Literally
Uriel Iscariot: Well, we should find this Carr Fellow then?
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): Evans to ashes would be more accurate
Doctor Machvellian's snazzy suit is sitting in the middle of the road, compressed into suitcase form, with return prepaid postage already on it.
Cynthia Grey: Well, that was a rather brisk morning of activity.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): That's so annoying. My entire goal of getting them out alive was thwarted before it was even conceived -_-
Stinky Pete takes it along and will gladly deliver it without fail
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): to Pete
Zach Dallas: So, any particular reason why you knew which button to press on that death-trap?
Nick (Stinky Pete): Thwarted like most of Tack's genetic monsters and evil plans?
Stinky Pete: Just had a funny feelin'. Plus it said "Press for travel mode".
Cynthia Grey: Well, good luck boys, if you persist in looking for Doctor Carr, I recommend you head north out of town for an hour.
Cynthia Grey: And on that happy note...
Stinky Pete: Actually, one said --
Ezekial Ikwiano: How did you know travel mode wouldna turned it into a train or somthin
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): to Grey
Zach Dallas: And what are you up to?
Cynthia Grey smiles.
Cynthia Grey: Things that would make Uriel blush, the baby Jesus cry, and probably involve the sacrifice of thousands of innocents.
Stinky Pete: "Press for carry-on" and the other said "Press for carrion"
Uriel Iscariot: You owe Jesus some prayers for that Miracle there, Bride of Satan....
Ezekial Ikwiano: I didn't know you was married?
Nick (Stinky Pete): damn. should have gone carryin' and carrion
Cynthia Grey smiles at Zeke.
Cynthia Grey: Does the fact that I'm married make me sexier?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Jus means I got a bit mo killin ta do
Nick (Stinky Pete): The world's first cougar
Uriel Iscariot facepalms
Cynthia Grey dissipates into a pile of dust that sinks into the ground.
[w] Zach Dallas: Detect Arcana show where that is going?
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Sure, She is going south.
Uriel Iscariot: .....
Uriel Iscariot: Someday, people won't leave us in the dust so easily.
Stinky Pete: Don't you mean with the dust?
Uriel Iscariot: Both no?
Stinky Pete Time to mosey back onto the long, dusty trail
Ezekial Ikwiano: If we gonna catch this doctor Carr, we better get a move on
[w] Stinky Pete -> Uriel Iscariot: Now that's what I call a dirt nap
Ezekial Ikwiano: He already got a couple days head start
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 5]
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [1d6+2 = 7]
Uriel Iscariot: And...theres not a soul 'abou't?
Zach Dallas: Notice [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 2]
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d4 = 3]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): >.<
GM: What is the group looking for with those notice checks?
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Anything that still breathes in this town.
[w] Zach Dallas: any noticible magical shenanigans going on?
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): I was just trying to fit in, and I didn't inhale
GM: Uriel locates three other people in this town, they are named Zach, Zeke, and Pete.
Nick (Stinky Pete): Mode of transportation (besides the suit)
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): Our horses didn't dissolve into dust did they?
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Nope, this place is as dead and quiet as a graveyard.
GM: Your horses are standing just outside the shack, looking ready to leave as soon as possible.
TADM: For the record, your horses all have developed personalities, and maybe hindrances, since last session. I had some free time.
Stinky Pete: Okay, well let's leave this place in the dust
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol wonderful
Uriel Iscariot: I don't think it's so easy. We probably want to look for tracks or something.
[w] Zach Dallas: any magical shenanigans on those?
[w] -> Zach Dallas: The horseshoes.
TADM: Nah, the horses are actually all Rastafarians.
Stinky Pete: Tracking [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 4]
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Tracking
Uriel Iscariot: 404 Error [1d6 = 8]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Tracking
Zach Dallas: Stealth {--2 Untrained:Mike} [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6-2 = 0]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): WHOOPS
Zach Dallas: This'll be amusing
GM: Uriel and Pete find no signs of tracks leaving town. Uriel does remember Cynthia saying something to the effect of, "I warned Carr to avoid town altogether."
Zach Dallas: I see nothing leading away. He's clearly still in town
Stinky Pete: Or he hasn't been in town for some time, and hasn't come back
Zach Dallas: Nonsense. That would be ridiculous
Uriel Iscariot: Hrm. Well, If I was a merchant, which I'm not, I'd maximize efficientcy and make sure not to lose much time on my rounds...
Uriel Iscariot: So....Anyone have a map of this region?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): wtf? Efficientcy?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): really?
Nick (Stinky Pete): Profit
Ezekial Ikwiano: Mrs. Grey said he was to the north
Ezekial Ikwiano: An she seems nice
Uriel Iscariot: Poison comes in pretty bottles there, Ezekial
Nick (Stinky Pete): If Gomorra's there, where's Sodom?
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): Illegal in california until 1973
TADM: That is for the GM to know and you to find out.
TADM: But the police report will read, "Stinky Pete died after being sodomized in half by a horse."
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): ewww....
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): ugh
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 20]
TADM: Which reminds me, yes, all the horses have a sexual preference.
Uriel Iscariot: Looks for a road sign or some other guidance in town.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Often?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): how much time did you spend on those horses?
Nick (Stinky Pete): Just enough, apparently
Uriel locates the town bank, the town government offices, all 219 former inhabitants in various stages of decay, signs pointing in multiple directions that lead people out of town in various directions, the telegraph office, and every unconsumed bottle of alcohol and unspent bullet in town. He also finds all the deeds to the town, has a suspicion he can guess the combination on the bank safe, and can tell exactly how long the telegraph lines have been cut.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): how long does this take him?
GM: With that notice check, about fifteen minutes.
Which means it is now 1215 on February 23, 1880.
Zach Dallas: So, you said the bank safe is over here?
Ezekial Ikwiano: What was that you said 'bout the bank safe Preacha man?
Zach Dallas: Waiiiiit a moment
Zach Dallas pulls out a kerchief and puts it on as a disguise
Uriel Iscariot: hrmm?
Zach Dallas: Not going to get a perfect picture of me twice in a row
Ezekial Ikwiano: Everyone's dead, who gonna notice
Zach Dallas: Oh, there's still witnesses around
Zach Dallas: you just can't see them
GM: Uriel's horse mounts Zach's horse. There is much neighing and "horseplay" happening.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Hey, I think they fuckin'
Zach Dallas: Preacher, control your alter boy
Ezekial Ikwiano: You don't wanna be ridin' a pregnant horse
Zach Dallas heads over toward the bank
GM: Zeke's horse sits down on its ass and lights up a cigar.
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 4]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): with hooves?
Uriel Iscariot: Is this hetero action or homo?
Stinky Pete: Huh, you usually have to pay to see stuff like that. Especially if one of the horses is replaced with a woman
Ezekial Ikwiano lights his horses cigar.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Good idea hombre
Ezekial Ikwiano lights a cigar for himself as well.
GM: Yep, it clicks it's hooves together and the horseshoes create sparks and light the cigar.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): is the safe still in the back and not busted?
Stinky Pete has an idea and offers my horse some whisky
GM: It appears that Uriel's horse is of the San Francisco persuasion.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol
Nick (Stinky Pete): The real San Francisco treat ;)
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): He's gonna have to cure the gay in that one
Uriel Iscariot: UNHOLINESS IN THE EYES OF THE LORD!
GM: Pete's horse sniffs at the bottle and licks it.
Uriel Iscariot: Ezekial Ikwiano, What did you do to your horse to make it act like that?
Stinky Pete: Well, enough horsin around. Let's head north
GM: Zeke's horse starts scratching his ear with a hoof, much like a cat would scratch its ears.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Before we go, about that bank
Uriel Iscariot: You want Cash Money, Your horse wants....dear lord. Meanwhile, some maniac is selling demonic booze to poor victims.
Zach Dallas slips into the bank and around any bodies, being careful not to disturb anything
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): condition of safe?
The bank vault is sitting undisturbed in the back of the building. There are a dozen corpses in the bank lobby.
Ezekial Ikwiano: I hear by, with legally and in full magnanimy, declare myself, Ezekial Ikwiano, to be King for all time of Blank's Springs, and I be havin entitlments to whatever be in the bank. Legally.
Ezekial Ikwiano: There
Ezekial Ikwiano: Now we can take what we wants
Uriel Iscariot: Smarts [1d6 = 8]
Uriel Iscariot: ....Somewhow, I doubt that was proper and legal.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): where did he learn magnanimy from?
Ezekial Ikwiano strolls confidently into the bank
Zach Dallas flinches
Ezekial Ikwiano looks around at all the corpses.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): vault still locked?
Zach Dallas knocks on the vault a few times
Nick (Stinky Pete): waits for the explosion
GM: The vault is locked.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): are there any return knocks?
GM: Nope
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6-1 = 4]
Ezekial Ikwiano: As yo king, I givin you all the highest honor I can be stow, the medal of Ezekial. I aint got any on me, but you all earned em with your efforts at the defense of my town, now I be on my way to do King like stuff in the vault
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): actually, if I could take that back, I managed to pass that
Zach Dallas goes up against the vault and starts twirling the combination
Uriel Iscariot: I'll have no part in this.
Zach Dallas: Uno, dos, tres, four...five?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Uriel, I'm now the fully legally king of Blank's Springs, and I proclamate that you tell me the combination
TADM: Ein, zwei, drei, fier, funf.
Zach Dallas opens the vault
Ezekial Ikwiano: Neva mind
GM: The vault door swings open. There are three small sacks inside.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Shit, talkin all fancy is hard
Ezekial Ikwiano: How you guys do it so much
Zach Dallas: lovely
Zach Dallas: I bet one is a Queen
Stinky Pete: First time I've ever seen someone stay so...clean while graverobbing
Uriel Iscariot: You folks...
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): are entitled to whataver loot we can steal
Zach Dallas: What does fate say we get today...
Zach Dallas draws a hand of Poker
Zach Dallas: ugh, Spades
Ezekial Ikwiano looks in the sacks.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d6 = 7]
GM: One bag has a mix of gold and silver coins. The second is a bag of gold dust. The third is a collection of ghost rock.
GM: Zeke counts up the gold and silver coins pretty quickly, it comes out to about $160.
Stinky Pete: So, Uriel, want to actually go look for Carr? Time's a wastin'
Uriel Iscariot: Yes by all means.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Smarts [1d6 = 7]
[w] Ezekial Ikwiano: To see if Zeke can figure out the value of the money, being illiterate
GM: He figures the gold dust is about $250, and the Ghost Rock would be about $300.
[w] -> Ezekial Ikwiano: Done and done.
Zach Dallas: Smarts [1d12 = 6]
Stinky Pete mounts his horse in the classical sense (not in the Uriel's horse's sense), and heads north
It is now 1230 on February 23, 1880.
[w] Ezekial Ikwiano -> Zach Dallas: Whadya say Zach, split it down the middle?
Uriel Iscariot Follows Stinky Pete
Ezekial Ikwiano scampers after his compatriates while tallying the haul.
The group heads north. About ninety minutes later they come to a small rise leading into a valley on the northbound trail. A brightly colored wagon is trundling down the path. Even from a distance of four hundred feet, the sign on the side is obvious, "Dr. Carr's Fantastic Traveling Emporium!"
GM: A man is sitting on the front of the wagon, driving the horses along. The group sees no one else.
Uriel Iscariot: Huh. How did you know Stinky?
Stinky Pete: Um, because TADM figured we had wasted enough time looking for him already?
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): and because Cynthia told us to head north for about an hour, and that was a half hour ago
GM: I thought it was because Pete has "Nose for Alcohol" and this was the strongest source in a ninety minute ride radius?
Stinky Pete tries to determine if he could make a headshot from here while still on horseback
Stinky Pete: Smarts [1d6 = 4]
GM: Possibly.
Uriel Iscariot: Well damn, Ive heard enough about this Carr.
Uriel Iscariot Boost Stinky Pete's Shootin.
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} +2 (Novice Power Penalty -2) [1d10 = 6]

Ezekial Ikwiano: Riding [1d6 = 5]
Zach Dallas follows Ezekial
Dr. Thaddeus Carr brings the wagon to a halt.
Stinky Pete follows
Dr. Thaddeus: Carr Oh, hello there young man.
Ezekial Ikwiano: You sellin' Ghost Rot?
Dr. Thaddeus Carr: Sure, you want some? It is $20 a bottle.
Dr. Thaddeus Carr hops off the wagon.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Shooting: (1) Bo (Marksman +2, Imp. Trademark Weapon +2, Called Shot (Head) -4) [1d12 = 10]
GM: That hits.

Zach Dallas: Zeke, what the hell!
Stinky Pete: Shooting (Called Shot (Head) -4, Long Range -4) [1d6-8 = 3]
GM: With a raise.
Ezekial Ikwiano: (1) Bo damage [4d6+4 = 33]

Zach Dallas: Damn
Zach Dallas: it
Ezekial Ikwiano: Ghost rot problem solved
Ezekial Ikwiano lights a cigar
Zach Dallas: You
Zach Dallas: are an idiot
Ezekial Ikwiano: Lets go get our reward
Zach Dallas: First off, we have no clue if he was the source
Ezekial Ikwiano: He said he was
Zach Dallas: he said he would SELL you some
Zach Dallas: not that he was providing it
Ezekial Ikwiano: Smarts [1d6 = 5]
Ezekial Ikwiano: Good point
Ezekial Ikwiano: Maybe you shoulda brought that up sooner
Zach Dallas: He's been in that town for decades and Ghost Rot has only been around for a short while
Uriel Iscariot: All is not lost, Zach Dallas.
Zach Dallas: I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WOULD BLAST HIS HEAD OFF AT FIRST SIGHT
Ezekial Ikwiano reloads Bo.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Its been a long day
Uriel Iscariot: Search the Wagon.
Uriel Iscariot: 404 Error [Critical failure!] [1d4 = 1]
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d6 = 4]
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 2]
Zach Dallas is too busy with Zeke to properly pay attention
Zach Dallas: Not to mention we have no PROOF
Ezekial Ikwiano: He confessed
Zach Dallas: To who?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Me
Zach Dallas: But you can lie
Zach Dallas: and you have no other proof
Ezekial Ikwiano: He said it was $20 a bottle
Ezekial Ikwiano: Im sure he got some in his wagon
Zach Dallas: But none of the evidence can stand!
Zach Dallas: We could've planted it!
Zach Dallas: We don't actually have any real proof
Stinky Pete: To recall if he was wanted D.O.A. or just A
Zach Dallas: so now we can't get paid
Stinky Pete: Smarts [1d6 = 4]
Zach Dallas: $1000
Zach Dallas: all gone
There wagon is loaded with fireworks, children's toys, items to make farm life easier, and a variety of tonics and elixirs.
Zach Dallas: Look
Zach Dallas: Look at who you killed
Zach Dallas: Children's toys
Zach Dallas: Would you like one?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Spirit [1d8 = 4]
Zach Dallas: their owner doesn't need it
The reward was for "finding the manufacturer of Ghost Rot."
Ezekial Ikwiano feels stupid after Zach Dallas' dressing down.
Zach Dallas: Crimany
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 3]
[w] Zach Dallas: looking for his girl
Zach Dallas: He wasn't traveling alone
Zach Dallas: by the way
Uriel Iscariot: Huh?
Zach Dallas: he had his assitant, a little girl
Zach Dallas: who he raised himself
Uriel Iscariot: Oh yah, I do remember that.
Zach Dallas: oh, lovely, more presents on my Hindrance Sheet
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): I got a 3x Multiplier. =)
Uriel Iscariot: Sigh....Violence creating more problems...
Zach Dallas checks around the wagon for signs of anyone leaving the wagon recently
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): walks over and checks Carr's corpse. Does he have a notable ring?
GM: There is no sign of another human in the wagon or near the wagon.
GM: Carr does not have any fancy rings on his fingers.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): so no sign of being a member of the Explorer's Society?
Uriel Iscariot: Well at the very least, we ought to give him a proper burial.
GM: No, Carr was not a member of the Explorer's Society.
TADM: That would have REALLY screwed you.
Ezekial Ikwiano searches the wagon for a shovel.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d4 = 2]
Stinky Pete searches for something to make a funeral pyre
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [1d6+2 = 7]
GM: Zeke finds a shovel.
GM: Pete finds about $1000 worth of fireworks.
Uriel Iscariot: Stinky! You know the LORD doth not approveth of Crematin!
Ezekial Ikwiano digs a hole.
Zach Dallas: Do we want to just bring him to the next town?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Strength [1d6 = 4]
Uriel Iscariot: You can't come back on the last day like that!
Zach Dallas: We're basically going to be wanted by every man, woman, and especially child, by the looks of that wagon
Stinky Pete: But he sold Ghost Rot, so he was going to Hell, so he was going to burn anyway. We just sped up the process
Ezekial Ikwiano: Oh well'a a high sherrif, he told'a deputy. I want you go out, and bring me Lazarus
Zach Dallas: perhaps he was lying and instead was giving out a serum to make you immune to Ghost Rot?
Ezekial Ikwiano: An' bring him dead'o live, Lawd, Lawd, bring him dead'o live.
Uriel Iscariot: There is only one judge of Men.
Uriel Iscariot: Come, everyone join me for Pater Noster..
Cynthia Grey: Yeah, but He doesn't judge women like me.
GM: Bad Cynthia, you're not here right now. Back in the NPC box!
Cynthia: Grey Oh, sorry.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): Pater noster, qui est in caelis. Sanctificatur nomen tuem, adveniat regnum tuem, fiat voluntas in caela sic in terra
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Why hello, Witch. Come to sell a convenient solution to our...rats...
Uriel Iscariot Finishes up his ritual
Uriel Iscariot: Now folks. What do we do?
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 5]
Ezekial Ikwiano: I aint even makin any suggestions, I jus can't get anythin' right today
Stinky Pete is too busy rolling a new character to reply
Uriel Iscariot: Maybe its a good time for you to discover the LORD in your life.
Zach Dallas checks inside the wagon, but slips on the edge and drops a sleevefull of cards
Ezekial Ikwiano: Spirit [1d6 = 5]
[w] -> Zach Dallas: The fireworks, a piece of 1' square metal, and a 1' diameter metal circle are all magical.
Ezekial Ikwiano: I'm listnen'
[w] Zach Dallas: any obvious uses for the square and circle?
Uriel Iscariot: Are you though?
[w] -> Zach Dallas: To Zach Dallas, no. But with the buttons on them, you'd guess Machvellian would be able to answer that easily.
Ezekial Ikwiano: I do believe I am.
Uriel Iscariot: You've killed how many people and this one here is different how?
Ezekial Ikwiano: I aint never killed anyone what didn't deserve it, but I aint sure about this Carr
Ezekial Ikwiano: If we'd a found a barrel a ghost rot I'd sleep like a baby on a mountain a whores, but now it seem like I made a turrible mistake
It is now 1430 on February 23, 1880.
[w] Zach Dallas: are there any enchantments on Carr himself?
Uriel Iscariot: Well at least you see what you gone done there.
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Now that he is dead? Nope.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): And hey, I wasn't the only one who was trying to shoot him in the head
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): ahem, Pete
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Pretty much, ONLY MIKE is clean here.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): I just happen to be better at shooting
TADM: Which is, quite honestly, really shocking that Mike is the innocent one of the group.
Uriel Iscariot: The LORD shall forgive thee, as thou have seen the error of thy ways.
Uriel Iscariot: Now, the Law....We are in trouble.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Me an my guns are good o'l boys at heart. We never meanin no harm to anyone. Beat all you've saw, and been in trouble with the law since the day we was born
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Yeah, but I'm pertty sure that Pete was acting mostly on the influence of Uriel and Zeke
Stinky Pete: Huh. Hmmm.
Ezekial Ikwiano: We's just makin our way, th' only way we know how
Ezekial Ikwiano: It's just a little bit more than the law will allow.
Uriel Iscariot: Now wait.
Uriel Iscariot: Clearly I have failed here.
Uriel Iscariot: My flock has resorted to violence as a first result.
Nick (Stinky Pete): I CALL FOR A VOTE FOR USE OF THE EPIC REWIND BUTTON
Uriel Iscariot: This is my sin and cannot be attoned. I will turn myself in as the cultprit.
Nick (Stinky Pete): All in favor?
TADM: If it makes anyone feel better, I had this suspicion the party would kill Dr. Carr, so I adjusted the rest of the campaign around it, if necessary.
Uriel Iscariot Hands Zach the ring.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): ROFL
Uriel Iscariot: This is your burden now, Zach Dallas
Zach Dallas: What, so I'm turning in you three for the murder of Carr?
Uriel Iscariot: No.
Stinky Pete: No
Uriel Iscariot: You will turn in only me.
Uriel Iscariot: Persuasion [1d6 = 11]
Zach Dallas: Oh no you don't
Zach Dallas: Smarts [1d6 = 10]
Stinky Pete: Spirit [1d6 = 10]

Uriel Iscariot: Sure he his. He has said he is repentent.
Uriel Iscariot: And it is my fault this happened anyway.
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 3]
Zach Dallas is using a benny
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [1d6 = 4]
Stinky Pete: Smarts [1d8 = 7]
Zach Dallas: How is it your fault?
Stinky Pete: So, Zeke and Uriel go to the hoosegow?
Uriel Iscariot: Nawh, Zeke is innocent
Zach Dallas: Zeke pulled the trigger
Zach Dallas faster than any of us could do anything about
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): I love how you have totally convinced Zeke of this as well
Zach Dallas: Pete also pulled the trigger, but he missed
Uriel Iscariot: No, I had all the time in the world to educate Zeke on the finer points of Peace.
Zach Dallas: no thanks to your enchantment on his gun
Uriel Iscariot: And how to treat his brothers and sisters.
Uriel Iscariot: And I did not.
Uriel Iscariot: The error is mine.
Zach Dallas: Well, what do we do now?
Zach Dallas load him back in the cart and tow him back over to civilization?
Ezekial Ikwiano: I have seen the light.
Ezekial Ikwiano: You's a shinin example of peace Brother Uriel
Ezekial Ikwiano: I wanna be jus' like you
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Great, there goes Zeke's only gimmick
Stinky Pete: How do you know I wasn't shooting at Zeke to stop him, hmmm?
Stinky Pete: I never did specify a target
Uriel Iscariot: Praise be to the LORD! He was lost, but now he is found!
Uriel Iscariot: Imma headed back.
Stinky Pete: Ok. Your funeral
Uriel Iscariot: You folk can do what you need to see this caper out.
The ground near the group rumbles.
Zach Dallas: Because it was a head shot. You were either trying to PK your ally or going for who had, apparently, been designated as an enemy by Uriel and Zeke
Zach Dallas: FML
Stinky Pete: Guess you'll never know
Stinky Pete: What the...?!?
Ezekial Ikwiano: S'ok Pete, I forgive you for tryin' to shoot me

Zach Dallas
Zach Dallas: Spirit [1d8 = 6]
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d6 = 8]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): any noticible weaknesses to these suckers?
GM: The Automatons look like walking suits of armor. Aside from aiming for the head or the joints, you have no idea. On a related note, the attractive looking 18 year old Chinese girl seems intent on beating Zeke to death with her bare hands. You get the feeling she might be qualified for this.
Automaton #3: Warning. friendly humanoid target in selected area. Close to melee range to avoid friendly fire.
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [1d6 = 4]
Ezekial Ikwiano
Zach Dallas: Are you working with these robots?! Finish these things off first!

Tack (Uriel Iscariot) Did Xiu Li Just become an ULTIMATE WARRIOR?

Uriel Iscariot: [7d6 = 18]
GM: [2d6 = 9]
Uriel Iscariot: [10,5,3,5,4,2,8]
GM: Uriel drops like a rock. You have the feeling that, if he was alive, he would need a LOT of ICE and would never be capable of having sex again in his life.
TADM: In fact, his gonads probably fly out his mouth.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): He was capable of it before?
TADM: Biologically, yes.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): so he's confirmed dead?
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 2]
GM: No one has actually checked him.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d4 = 6]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): TPK
[w] -> Ezekial Ikwiano: Uriel is very unconscious, but breathing shallowly.
[w] -> Uriel Iscariot: You are NOT dead. You are unconscious for the next 9 hours.

GM: Zeke shoots the Automaton in the head. The good news is that it explodes.
GM: The bad news is that it explodes.
GM: [4d6 = 17]
Stinky Pete: I don't think this is what they meant when they sang "Do the Robot"
Stinky Pete: Vigor [1d8-3 = -1]

[w] -> Zach Dallas: You will be out cold for 8 hours.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): QUAD KILL!
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Since I don't think you can soak 16 wounds.
[w] Zach Dallas: oh dhammit
[w] Zach Dallas: I should've planned to become a Harrowed
The world becomes very dark.
The party wakes up about eight hours later, it is pitch black, except for a small fire crackling nearby.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): I hope we meet Lorien
Your hands and feet are not bound, although just from weight you can tell that you have no weapons on your body.
Nick (Stinky Pete): Every man had one weapon! Well, except Uriel now
Yes, everyone has 3 wounds.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): This is my rifle, this is my gun?
Zach Dallas: Notice [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6-3 = 7]
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6+2 = 10]
[w] Ezekial Ikwiano: do I still have any any cigars?
The four of you are laying around a fire.
[w] -> Ezekial Ikwiano: Yes.
Ezekial Ikwiano takes out a cigar and lights in in the fire.
Uriel Iscariot: Notice (Realistic Battle Damage! -3) [1d6-3 = 7]
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d4-3 = 2]
Uriel Iscariot: Hello?
Uriel Iscariot: Anyone A'bout?
The smell of bacon and beans fills the air. Zeke rolls over to light the cigar on fire and notices a rather angry looking (but attractive) Chinese girl sitting cross-legged near him. She watches Zeke for any sudden movement.
Xiu Li: You killed my foster father.
Ezekial Ikwiano: I reckon I did at that
Zach Dallas: Idiot
Ezekial Ikwiano: I'm sorry
Ezekial Ikwiano: Uriel dun taught me that murderin is wrong
Xiu Li rolls to see if Zeke is telling the truth.
Xiu Li: Smarts [1d6 = 11]
TADM: I hope he's not lying.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Smokin' is still good though
[w] Ezekial Ikwiano: As far as I know, he is not
[w] -> Ezekial Ikwiano: That's what I need to know, thanks.
Xiu Li: I do not blame you.
Ezekial Ikwiano: It sure seemed like you did
Xiu Li: You will be wanted and hunted by my father's many friends. That is punishment enough.
GM: Everyone is awake if you want to chime in or perform actions. (Unconscious time has been rounded down to the lowest number.)
Uriel Iscariot [high pitched voice]: I am terribly sorry M'am
Xiu Li: Hmm...I seem to have accidentally created a falsetto.
Zach Dallas: Where are we?
A couple pounds of bacon is frying in a large pan above the fire.
Xiu Li: In a small cave near my father's wagon. Once you were all down, the Automatons left to report Dr. Carr's demise to his friend, Dr. Hellstromme.
Stinky Pete: Figures
Uriel Iscariot: Oh......snap....
Zach Dallas: Were those Hellstromme's automatons?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Who's Dr. Hellstromme?
Zach Dallas: One of the Rail Barons
Xiu Li looks at Zeke questioningly.
Zach Dallas: he's the head of the Wasatch Railroad and quite the mad scientist
Xiu Li: Yes. They are the delivery unit for Ghost Rot.
Xiu Li pulls out a bottle and shows it to you.
Uriel Iscariot: Oh.....Lord....
Xiu Li: I believe this is what you sought.
Zach Dallas: From what Grey and Isabella said, he's aiming to...
Zach Dallas: Ah, so Hellstromme is supplying it?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Not really, we was tryin' to stop it from comin' into the area
Ezekial Ikwiano: For the reward
The bottle reads, "STEAMPRESS RYE WHISKEY – SALT LAKE CITY – HELLSTROMME INDUSTRIES"
Xiu Li: Yes.
Xiu Li: Then, like my father, you were set up.
Zach Dallas: Likely the case. Wasn't Ghost Rot highly illegal? Why would your father be selling something like that?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Wait, if Hellstromme is a friend of your father's, why would he set him up as a drug dealer?
Xiu Li: Dr. Hellstromme paid him very good money to sell Ghost Rot. My father was never one to turn down ludicrous sums of money.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Me neither
Zach Dallas searches his pockets
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): do I have cards on me?
TADM: Yes.
Uriel Iscariot Sighs
Xiu Li: We learned about the reward for selling Ghost Rot and knew that we needed to leave the business. A woman named Cynthia Grey stopped us yesterday and told us to dump the Ghost Rot and head north. She said violent bounty hunters were after us.
Ezekial Ikwiano: She told us where to find you
Xiu Li nods.
Zach Dallas: I hate that woman
Xiu Li: Miss Grey wanted my father dead to punish Dr. Hellstromme.
Uriel Iscariot: Shucks Zach, You know you're crazy 'bout that dame.
Ezekial Ikwiano: If your dad knew that bounty hunters were after him for selling ghost rot, why would he volunteer to sell it to strangers?
Ezekial Ikwiano: heavily armed strangers
Ezekial Ikwiano: chasing after him
Zach Dallas: Oh, I imagine that was only the first step to a large plan she has
Xiu Li: I suspect that she has managed to kill my father, hurt Dr. Hellstromme, and find others to take the blame all at once.
Xiu Li looks at Zeke.
Xiu Li: Perhaps because he was not expecting to be immeidately shot by a psycopath?
Zach Dallas: Amen
Xiu Li shrugs.
Xiu Li points at Zeke.
Xiu Li: I should hate you, but I know you have been used, just as my father and I were.
Uriel Iscariot: A good person hates the sin, not the sinner
Zach Dallas: So, I've little doubt that Hellborne will send out warrants for us
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Hellstromme. Not Hellbourne. Wrong game champ
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): >.<
Xiu Li: Yes, you will be hunted now by many. My father has friends in many places.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): HEY YOU STARTED PLAYING SHERIFF.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): It's not my fault!
Zach Dallas: I don't suppose you could work to move the pressure over to Grey, could you?
Xiu Li looks skeptically at Zach.
Zach Dallas: Well, Grey and Zeke
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): lol
Zach Dallas: I mean, there's probably some pretty incriminating evidence against him
Xiu Li: Grey's hands are clean as far as the law is concerned.
Zach Dallas: Oh, I doubt that the retribution will be entirely lawful
Xiu Li: And I can guarantee that the orphan child of Chinese immigrants will have no recourse in a white man's court of law. Especially if it is my word against hers.
Zach Dallas: Hm
Zach Dallas: I suppose the bounty will make hit squads less likely
Xiu Li: You are welcome to eat the food I cooked. It is not to my liking.
Xiu Li gets out a rice ball and eats it.
Ezekial Ikwiano eats Xiu Li's bacon.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): I hope that's a euphamism.
Stinky Pete eats some bacon
Uriel Iscariot: What? You're not from the Middle East...Why you be hatin on Pork?
Xiu Li: Yojimbo taught me that it is bad karma to eat the flesh of an animal.
Uriel Iscariot: Yojimbo you say?
Ezekial Ikwiano: But killing and cooking them are a-ok?
Xiu Li: And to take the life of another, which is why you all live.
Xiu Li shrugs.
Xiu Li: It was in my father's wagon. Letting it rot made no sense. I do not appreciate the act, but your stomachs probably do.
Uriel Iscariot: Thank you.
Xiu Li nods to Uriel.
Xiu Li: Yojimbo is wise in the ways of Buddha, he offers much insight into the world.
Zach Dallas: Wasn't he that strangely spoken man we met in Shan Fan?
Xiu Li shrugs.
Uriel Iscariot: Yes. We have met Yojimbo. I am sorry that for all the wisdom he left with us, that today happened as it did.
Uriel Iscariot: Although it is no consolidation or validation, seeing many people ruined by Ghost Rot blinded me
Uriel Iscariot: I am most sorry.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Seeing $1000 blinded me
Xiu Li: My father was blinded by greed, as I suspect many are.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Yup, that's me
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): I've come around on the whole "murder" issue, but you haven't swayed me from my smoking, drinking, whoring, greedy ways just yet there buddy
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): So'kay.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Boys will be boys.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): One persuasion roll at a time
Uriel Iscariot: So. We have Hellstromme and all his clout chasing us.
Uriel Iscariot: What are we do to?
Zach Dallas: Where are your father's friends situated?
Zach Dallas: mostly along the west coast, I presume?
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure
Xiu Li: My father's friends are based around Sacramento, and headed east from there to the land known as Deseret. He is also popular among the people of Wasatch and Union Blue.
Xiu Li: As to how far they will hunt you, I do not know.
Stinky Pete: Um, who is your father, if I may ask?
Stinky Pete: And what happened to your mother?
[w] Zach Dallas: Deal for Detect Arcana
Nick (Stinky Pete): (No L5R stupidity today!!)
Zach Dallas drops the deck of cards he was looking at and stares at Pete
Zach Dallas the cards kinda flutter to the ground. Zach was in mid shuffle
Zach Dallas has been awarded a benny
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Holy crap! Straight flush 5-9 of Hearts.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): OHOHOHOHOHOHO
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): Here comes Santa Clause, here comes Santa Clause....
[w] Zach Dallas: That means this power may be toggled on and off at will for the next 24 hours
[w] -> Zach Dallas: The Ghost Rot bottle is slightly magical. Xiu Li is much more so. Anything else you would like to know?
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Yeah, I know. Count that closely.
GM: Oh yeah, Mike just got the present that keeps on giving.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): At least it wasn't the last thing I sent
Ezekial Ikwiano: Pete, who am I?
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): lol
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): that would've been awkward
Stinky Pete: I meant her real father
Uriel Iscariot: Everyone on Earth has but one true father.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): Dr. Carr was her real father, he loved her and raised her and taught her how to beat the living shit out of black men
Xiu Li: My father was a poor Chinese railworker. My mother was his wife. Both died when I was five.
TADM: That also.
Zach Dallas: Do you know how to use his gizmos?
Stinky Pete: I'm sorry
Xiu Li: Yes.
Zach Dallas nods
Uriel Iscariot: If you were truly sorry, you'd never ride another train. Built on blood, those infernal devices.
TADM: Although it would be kind of funny to ask her who taught her how to beat the living shit out of black men.
Xiu Li: They are.
Zach Dallas: Carr does not seem to have been the most physically imposing man
Zach Dallas: Did he get that Yojimbo fellow to teach you how to fight?
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): 'I seem to have misplaced my genitals. Where did you learn to do that?'
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol
Xiu Li: Yes. Yojimbo taught me how to fight. He did not want to, but my father paid $15,000 and had a Zen Buddhist monastery built in Shan Fan. Evidently that convinced Yojimbo to train me.
Zach Dallas coughs and drops his cards again
Xiu Li: I suspect there is more to the story, but neither Yojimbo nor Dr. Carr were very forthcoming.
Zach Dallas: 15,000!?
Xiu Li nods.
Uriel Iscariot: Zach, that may be fortunes to us...but....To the real puppetmasters...it isn't.
Uriel Iscariot: Ever tried to run a church?
Xiu Li: My father said it was necessary, no matter the cost.
Zach Dallas: Damn, I wish we could've spoken with him
Zach Dallas glares at Zeke
Xiu Li shrugs.
[w] Zach Dallas: is there anything else magical in the area?
Nick (Stinky Pete): My guess is it's $15,000 in chinese currency, which is like $150 U.S. or something similar
TADM: Actually it was $15,000 USD in gold ingots.
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 7]
Uriel Iscariot: Seems like the act of a guilty conscience. After all, he did get paid by Hellstromme, eh?
Xiu Li looks at Uriel.
Xiu Li: Perhaps.
Xiu Li: Are you going back to Shan Fan now? If so, I would like to accompany you there.
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Dr. Carr's gizmos are also magical if you did not already determine that. Aside from that nothing not already mentioned.
Uriel Iscariot: It would seem to make the most sense.
Uriel Iscariot: I mean no intrusion.
Uriel Iscariot: I suppose that we are headed there shortly, if you must ask.
Zach Dallas: It'll be a fun trip. We can't use the Union Blue or Wasatch Railroads.
Xiu Li: You may have a few days before your "deed" becomes well known. I recommend taking advantage of this to get out of dangerous territory while you still can.
Uriel Iscariot: True facts.
Zach Dallas: Certainly a good idea
Zach Dallas: Tell me, what do you know of Hellstromme and Cynthia Grey?
Xiu Li: Hellstromme is a rail baron, I am not sure what his ultimate goal is, but I doubt it is winning the rail wars or accumulating money. Grey is evil. Both of them need to be stopped.
Zach Dallas nods
It is now 0100 on 24 February, 1880.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): DOOM.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): who was that Stone guy earlier?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): at the abandoned town
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): well, eradicated town
TADM: The Avatar of Death?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): yes. what was his name?
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Wasn't it said he was a reckoner?
TADM: Stone was his name, and he was a Reckoner, yes.
TADM: Okay, we will call it good here. Everyone but Zach gets an Advance tonight.
Campaign saved.
