Savage Worlds Ruleset for Fantasy Grounds II
(c) 2009 Pinnacle Entertainment Group.
Zeke has cramps.
Xiu Li: Serves him right.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Now I know why women got such bad tempers
Ezekial Ikwiano: These cramps put me in a killin' mood
Xiu Li: I doubt any good will come of this, but at least you might experience the other side of the equation for a few days.
Crow caws hysterically.
Ezekial Ikwiano: I wonder if I get pregnant, what happens when the baby is due?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): seems more like an inequality to me...
Crow rolls on the ground it is laughing so hard.
Xiu Li: The world would only be so lucky for you to get pregnant.
It is now 17 days, 10 hours until the big shindig in the City of Lost Angels.
Uriel is still nowhere to be seen, but you have heard rumors that not a single virgin altar boy remains in Shan Fan.
Xiu Li: So, what's next...and for the record, if it gets me turned into a man, so help me I will kill both of you.
Zach Dallas: Well, I suppose we can go back east now
Crow rubs Xiu Li's leg.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Don't worry Xui Li, I'd still do you if you was a man
Xiu Li refrains from beating up a woman....barely.
Zach Dallas: I was about to say something, but I don't have the same protection
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): which was the closest place to Coffin Rock again?
GM: So the group heads to the rail station to take a Denver Pacific train back east to Denver?
Zach Dallas: Sounds like a plan
Denver would be closest to Coffin Rock, it is about two hours north by train.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Lead the way Zach, and don't look at my tits or I'll kill you
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): OK, let's go!
Zach Dallas: I'm not planning on it
Ezekial Ikwiano: I'm just kidding, look all you want
Zach Dallas: I'd have nightmares
Ezekial Ikwiano: they're great
GM: The group gets to the train station without any major incidents. Well, there is a thirty minute break when Xiu Li takes Zeke into a clothing store and finds him clothes that fit a little better.
Crow heads off to make some birdwise checks with the local crows and seagulls.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): how long is the trip to Denver?
GM: Three days.
When the group gets off the train, it is 14 days, 9 hours until the big Shindig. The next train to Pueblo station (which is the closest you can get to Coffin Rock) leaves in 2 hours.
Zach Dallas: Smarts [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 10]
Zach Dallas: Smarts [1d12 = 2]
Zach Dallas: Spirit [1d8 = 7]
Zach Dallas: Spirit [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 5]
Zach Dallas: Hey! I still have my honorary Sheriff badge!
Zach Dallas: Streetwise [1d6 = 8]
Zach Dallas: I'll see you later, Zeke, I'm going to wander about a bit for a while
Ezekial Ikwiano: Sounds good
Ezekial Ikwiano: I'm gonna go get my drink on
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d4 = 2]
Crow lands on Zeke's hat.
Ezekial Ikwiano: looking for a bar.
Xiu Li heads off to Chinatown.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): looking for a bar.
Ezekial Ikwiano heads off to Chinatown to look for a bar.
GM: Zeke finds a bar, fortunately there are several to choose from.
Crow pecks at Zeke's head.
Crow: *caw* beer *caw*
Crow drinks the beer that Zeke buys him.
The Chinese bartender is in awe that the large, Mandarin-speaking black woman, has a beer drinking crow. This draws quite a crowd.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I like how Zeke didn't have a choice but to buy the crow beer
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): I did have a choice
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): aww
Crow gets a little woozy and starts trying to limbo under bar stools.
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting [1d6 = 7]
Ezekial Ikwiano: Shooting: (1) Luke [1d6 = 5]
Zach Dallas: Notice {-1 One Eye} [1d4-1 = 10]
Zach Dallas: I feel a disturbance in the force
GM: Nonsense, just people communicating entirely in whispers, just like you do.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): And me shooting my gun
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): my whispers are not often accompanied by a shooting roll with a +4 modifier
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): Did you see me roll damage?
TADM: Your whispers are sometimes more boring than Zeke's whispers.
Crow sobers up and lands on Zeke's hat.
Crow: *caw* Train *caw*
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I did not
Xiu Li arrives back at the station about five minutes before Zeke does.
GM: Everyone gets on the train to Pueblo without incident.
Zach Dallas: So, what'd you do?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Drank beers
Ezekial Ikwiano: Crow did his bullet catching trick for the chinamen
Ezekial Ikwiano: They loved it
Zach Dallas laughs
Zach Dallas: Amusing
Ezekial Ikwiano: Hey crow, can you teach Zach the bullet catching trick, because he gets shot a lot
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [1d10 = 7]
Zach Dallas looks surprised
Zach Dallas: oh, did you already learn it?
Zach Dallas: You'll have to demonstrate some time
Ezekial Ikwiano: Me? no
Ezekial Ikwiano: I'm better at putting bullets in things
Crow nods at Zeke.
Crow motions with his claw like Zeke should shoot Zach.
Xiu Li: I'm not sure that is a good plan.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Why not?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Crow aint led me astray before
Zach Dallas: I'd rather not get shot once
Zach Dallas: but you already did that without asking
Xiu Li: I'm not sure I trust Zach to survive.
Zach Dallas: so I'll have to ask not to take a second bullet
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d4 = 5]
Crow shrugs at the prospect of Zach Dallas being killed.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): brad just saved you from one of Zeke's brilliant plans
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): whew
Zach Dallas: Care for a game of cards?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Not with you
Zach Dallas pulls out a deck
Zach Dallas: Aw, c'mon! What's the worst that could happen?
Ezekial Ikwiano: You could blow me up
Ezekial Ikwiano: and the whole train
The train lumbers south, it will be 14 days, 5 hours when it arrives in Pueblo station.
Ezekial Ikwiano: and yourself
Ezekial Ikwiano: and Xiu Li
Ezekial Ikwiano: And my new tits
Crow: *caw* Strip poker *caw*
Xiu Li slaps crow.
Crow likes it.
Zach Dallas laughs
Xiu Li: Zach, are you sure that Zeke did not somehow split into two bodies, one female and one avian while you were on the Isle of Ghost Tears?
Sales Cart Employee: Cigarettes, beer, newspapers.
Sales Cart Employee wanders by the booth everyone is sitting at.
Sales Cart Employee: Cigarettes, beer, newspapers.
Zach Dallas: Yeah, That's how the crow was to begin with
Ezekial Ikwiano: I'll take a beer
Zach Dallas: I'll have a newspaper
Sales Cart Employee sells you a beer and a newspaper.
Ezekial Ikwiano: wait
Ezekial Ikwiano: make that two beers
Sales Cart Employee sells you a second beer.
Ezekial Ikwiano gives one beer to crow and drinks one himself.
Crow looks happy you remembered to buy one for yourself.
Sales Cart Employee moves on.
Zach Dallas: What do we have here...
Ezekial Ikwiano: Beer
Zach Dallas browses through his newspaper
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d4 = 2]
Ezekial Ikwiano scopes out the passengers on the train.
GM: Zach sees nothing particularly interesting in the newspaper or the beer.
GM: Zeke sees no one particularly interesting (outside of the people in the booth with him) on the train.
Zach Dallas: Hm. I should've gotten a copy of Lacey's article back in the city
GM: Zeke is relatively certain that a couple ornery looking guys are staring at his breasts through.
Ezekial Ikwiano walks over to the guys looking at his breasts.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Can I help you?
Random Mook: Nope, just thinking you must be part camel to have tits that big.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Nah, I was a man last week though
GM: Zach does find an obituary for Doctor MacVellian. She was evidently a victim of an accident with a Hellstromme piece of gear that malfunctioned.
Zach Dallas: Uh oh
Random Mook: That must've been some good whiskey you had.
Ezekial Ikwiano: I've had a lot of good whiskey
Ezekial Ikwiano: Why don't you buy me some
Ezekial Ikwiano: And buy some for Xiu Li as well
Ezekial Ikwiano points at Xiu Li.
Random Mook: How about you sit on my lap and....
Random Mook peeks around Zeke at Xiu Li.
Random Mook: Now that is some hotness...sure I'll buy both of you a drink. Have your friend come over.
Ezekial Ikwiano (Mandarin): Hey Xiu Li, come over here and we can get some free whiskey then beat the shit out of a couple guys
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lololol
Zach Dallas glances up
Zach Dallas: Hm. That's probably not going to end well for those guys
Ezekial Ikwiano (Mandarin): I know you like beating the crap outta horney guys
Zach Dallas: Zeke, don't pick fights
Zach Dallas goes back to his newspaper
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): me too, my cup runeth dry IRL
GM: Zach finds an obituary for Tillman C. Moss, the barman you met in Perdition. The guy who was holding on to your gear and Lacey O'Malley's contact in that town.
Xiu Li (Mandarin): Actually it's not horny guys, just repulsive and disgusting sociopaths.
Zach Dallas: Aw shit
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol
Zach Dallas: Oi, Zeke, come over here
Ezekial Ikwiano (Mandarin): Fine, but at least come over here so they will guy us Whiskey
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): any mention on the cause of death?
Ezekial Ikwiano (Mandarin): I only been a women a week, and even I know the best part is the free drinks
GM: Tillman was found drowned in sealed vat of beer in the cellar under his bar.
Zach Dallas: o.O
Zach Dallas: Crap
Xiu Li walks over to Zeke and smiles at the random mook who is staring at her breasts while his friend stares at her thighs.
Random Mook pats lap.
Random Mook: That's right baby, you sit right here and I'll....
Zach Dallas holds the newspaper so he doesn't have to witness the pain
Xiu Li throws him off the train.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): does he go through glass?
Conductor: Hey now!
GM: No, the window was open.
Zach Dallas doesn't even seem to notice
Ezekial Ikwiano: They was trying to sexually abuse us.
Conductor runs off to get his shotgun.
Random Mook swings at Xiu Li.
Zach Dallas sighs
Xiu Li throws the other random mook off the train.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): how many people are on the train?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): in our car, I mean
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): two fewer than there were five minutes ago
GM: In this car, about 20, most of them look horrified.
Ezekial Ikwiano (mandarin): You was sposed to wait till AFTER they bought us the drinks
Xiu Li (Mandarin): Oh, is that how it works. My mistake.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol, what are the odds that I can pass 20 consecutive Deal with the Devil
Xiu Li: Don't worry, we were passing a water tower, I tossed them both into the mud. They'll be fine.
Xiu Li sits back down across from Zach.
Conductor returns with shotgun.
Ezekial Ikwiano sits back down.
Conductor: Now you just...sit there and don't move again, I'm getting the sheriff.
Xiu Li: No problem.
Zach Dallas gets up and steps away from Xiu Li and Zeke, towards the Conductor
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting [1d12 = 5]
Xiu Li laughs.
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [1d6 = 7]
Crow lands on Zeke's head.
Crow eyes Xiu Li carefully.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): throw the crow out the window!
Xiu Li eyes the crow carefully.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Focus
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Focus
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Strike
Conductor sits down to watch the four of you carefully, shotgun at the ready.
Zach Dallas: Don't do anything stupid, Zeke
The train pulls into Pueblo station.
Xiu Li gets up and gets off the train.
Xiu Li: Bye everyone, have a nice trip!
Ezekial Ikwiano Zeke gets off the train.
Xiu Li waves and blows kisses to people on the train.
Crow flaps off to the south after getting off the train.
Zach Dallas leaves
The train departs without further incident.
GM: It is about a four hour walk to reach Coffin Rock from here.
GM: You do not see any horses in the station stables available, and since the only two buildings in the area are the train station and a livestock pen, pickings are rather slim.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Looks like we walkin' to coffin rock
Zach Dallas: Eh, it's not that bad
Zach Dallas: er, not anymore at least
Xiu Li: Well, you know what they say, spare a horse, ride a cowboy.
Zach Dallas: I'm certain Zeke would volunteer for that, if only he were still a man
Ezekial Ikwiano: Or cowgirl
Xiu Li walks in the direction of Coffin Rock.
Zach Dallas follows
Zach Dallas: Notice {-1 One Eye} [1d6-1 = 3]
Zach Dallas: I wish I had my other eye
TADM: You might want to benny that...just saying.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d6 = 10]
GM: Or make another roll in about 30 minutes
Zach Dallas: Notice {-1 One Eye} [1d6-1 = 3]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): o.O
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): that wasn't intended
Ezekial Ikwiano: Xiu Li, you get something extra big shoved up you ass lately?
Ezekial Ikwiano: You walkin' funny
Xiu Li looks at Zeke.
Xiu Li: No, my ass is very virginal.
Ezekial Ikwiano stops walking.
Zach Dallas: Odd
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting [1d12 = 4]
Ezekial Ikwiano grabs Zach by the collar and pulls him close
Zach Dallas: I can't sense you at all with Detect Arcana
Ezekial Ikwiano (Whispering): She didn't kick me in the face. I don't think that's Xiu Li
Zach Dallas: In fact, I'd have to say it's exactly like Cynthia Grey
Ezekial Ikwiano: In that case she lied about her ass being virginal as well
Zach Dallas: Which makes me wonder what exactly happened
Xiu Li: Wow, it took 3 days for you to figure it out.
Xiu Li: You both have clueless, don't you?
Zach Dallas: Not my fault, the GM didn't bother mentioning anything to me, regardless of my constant DA
TADM: Do you really have it turned on all the time? After all, wouldn't your eye sockets get burned out looking at Xiu Li all the time?
Xiu Li looks at Zeke.
Xiu Li: Oh no, I was not lying, my ass is completely virginal. I don't go in for that kind of thing.
Ezekial Ikwiano: I wish I still had a dick right now
Xiu Li: So do I.
Zach Dallas chokes
Ezekial Ikwiano: Wait a couple weeks, I'll kill you husband for you
Zach Dallas: So, any particular reason you took Xiu Li's place rather than just traveling out in the open?
Xiu Li: Here, since Zach is having a poo-poo fit about his DA, let's get that out of the way.
Xiu Li transforms into Cynthia Grey.
Cynthia Grey radiates a whole lot of magical power, enough that Zach is getting a headache if he looks straight at her.
Cynthia Grey: Oh, well, Xiu and I needed to change places for a few days. I'm afraid I'm being watched by a great many people.
Cynthia Grey: A great many people with mystical powers. So I had to camouflage myself, and Xiu Li was willing to pretend to be me for a few days.
Cynthia Grey laughs.
Zach Dallas: Hm. What did you hold over her head?
Cynthia Grey: Oh, let's just say we negotiated a favor.
Cynthia Grey: She's a charming girl, just a bit...daft, when it comes to binding agreements with evil.
Cynthia Grey: No, this one boils down to a life for a death.
Zach Dallas: Pardon?
Zach Dallas: What, exactly, did you trick her into?
Cynthia Grey: Someone important to Xiu Li lives. And she kills someone for me.
Cynthia Grey: Well, all that good kharma she builds up, she needs to offset it every once in a while.
Cynthia Grey: And believe it or not, there are people in this world she is much more capable of killing than I am.
Zach Dallas: Wait...you're not going to try to bring Carr back to life, are you?
Cynthia Grey looks at Zach.
Cynthia Grey laughs.
GM: Guts checks.
Zach Dallas: Guts {+6 Legendary/True Grit} [1d6+6 = 10]
Ezekial Ikwiano: Guts {+5 Grit} [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6+5 = 10]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): fear level?
GM: You both pass - Fear Level = 3.
Cynthia Grey: Bring Carr to life? Please.
Cynthia Grey: So anyway boys. Shall we head off to Coffin Rock...stop dwadling, you have important people to meet and kill.
Cynthia Grey walks in the direction of Coffin Rock.
Crow reappears riding on the back of a horse, with two others in tow.
Crow: *caw* Borrowed horses *caw*
Zach Dallas: From who?
Crow shrugs.
Zach Dallas: Eh, good enough
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): any gear on the saddles?
Ezekial Ikwiano gets on the black horse with Crow.
GM: There are no saddles, shoes, or brands. They look like actual wild horses.
Cynthia Grey climbs on the back of a horse.
Cynthia Grey: Good crow.
Crow spits at Cynthia Grey.
Cynthia Grey: I love you too.
Ezekial Ikwiano: I know baby
Zach Dallas: Riding [1d6 = 8]
Ezekial Ikwiano: Riding [1d6 = 7]
It is dusk by the time you reach Coffin Rock. There are 14 days and 1 hour left until the big shindig.
Cynthia Grey: Oh look at how much this place has improved since you arrived last time.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Don't burn it down till after we leave
Cynthia Grey: It doesn't reek of Hell on Earth.
Cynthia Grey looks at Zeke.
Zach Dallas: A positive change
Cynthia Grey: Well, only since you asked nicely.
Zach Dallas: Don't burn it down at all
Cynthia Grey: Okay, I promise not to burn the town down.
Zach Dallas: Will you promise not to harm anyone who is staying in this town?
Ezekial Ikwiano: No
Cynthia Grey: No
Zach Dallas: The second one is what I'm more worried about
Crow: *caw* Maybe *caw*
Zach Dallas: Thanks, Crow, at least I have you on my side
Zach Dallas: *psychopathic women*
Cynthia Grey: Well, since you are so worried about me, I'll just hang here, on the outskirts of town. You go have a good time doing your hero things.
Cynthia Grey slides off her horse.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Aw, don't sulk
Ezekial Ikwiano: You can come to the bar with me and get drunk
Zach Dallas: You're free to come with us
Cynthia Grey: No no, that's okay.
Cynthia Grey: I have some work to do here.
Cynthia Grey: Important hero-type stuff.
Cynthia Grey walks towards the hills to the northwest.
Crow: *caw* Beer *caw*
Ezekial Ikwiano heads to the saloon with Crow.
Zach Dallas: Hey, Zeke, we need to go this way
Ezekial Ikwiano: Is there beer that way?
Zach Dallas points after Grey
Zach Dallas: Not yet
Zach Dallas: But I'm afraid this is a bit time-sensitive
Ezekial Ikwiano: Fine, but you buy the first round when we get back
Zach Dallas: Sure
GM: So you follow after Grey?
Zach Dallas: yes
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): preferably out of sight
Zach Dallas: Crow, go invisible so she can't see you
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting [1d12 = 3]
Zach Dallas is using a benny
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting [1d12 = 8]
Cynthia Grey heads along the ridge lines and into a familiar looking gorge. Well, familiar looking to Zach Dallas.
Crow looks at Zach Dallas like he is smoking something.
Grey walks up to a ruined shack that Zach Dallas remembers from the evening when the group holed up with the Pearl gang outside of Coffin Rock.
GM: She stops about fifteen feet from it and calls out to someone inside.
Shelley Daly walks out and nods to her.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Hmmm
They begin talking about something, but you are too far to hear anything specific.
Zach Dallas: Notice {-1 One Eye} (+1) [1d6 = 5]
Zach Dallas: Crow, can you let us hear their talk without her knowing?
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): afk, getting more drink
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): kk
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): it was 101 today
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): wimp
TADM: That AFK for more drink is a good idea. brb.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol
Crow shakes his head and gestures for both of you to head over to the spot where the two of them are talking.
Zach Dallas Heads on out towards where they are meeting
The two women stop speaking when you get closer.
Cynthia Grey gives you a strange look and smiles.
Shelley Daly shrugs.
Shelley Daly: Hello Mister Dallas, good to see you again.
Zach Dallas: Hello. It's good to see you're alright as well
Shelley Daly: Coffin Rock is doing great and prospering again, thanks to you, Uriel, and....
Ezekial Ikwiano: Help me, I'm a poor innocent sex slave.
Ezekial Ikwiano: FREE ME!
Zach Dallas: Stop that, Zeke
Shelley Daly stops.
Shelley Daly Looks at Zach.
Ezekial Ikwiano falls to the ground laughing.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Better than shooting me
Shelley Daly: Beat the shit out of him woman.
Shelley Daly: Don't let any man treat you disrespectfully.
Cynthia Grey: Well, it's a long story, but the big black woman is actually a big black man who has been...modified.
Shelley Daly: I may be sick.
Zach Dallas: Welcome to the club
Zach Dallas: Odd place to be, way out here. Aren't you still the mayor of Coffin Rock?
Shelley Daly: Yes I am.
Shelley Daly: But Miss Grey was rather specific that we needed to meet here.
Ezekial Ikwiano: I'm the king of Blank's Springs
Zach Dallas: Queen
Zach Dallas: Queen of Clubs
Shelley Daly decides that it is in her best interest to ignore everyone that large black woman utters.
Cynthia Grey: No actually, he's telling the truth about that also.
Cynthia Grey: He's actually not fundamentally insane.
Zach Dallas: He is
Shelley Daly: Okay....
Zach Dallas: That's just not a symptom
Shelley Daly says it with enough sarcasm that people three counties away can hear it.
Shelley Daly: So, what brings you to Coffin Rock with your strange "not-fundamentally-insane" black man-woman?
Ezekial Ikwiano: A train
Shelley Daly blinks.
Ezekial Ikwiano: and some horses
Zach Dallas: You remember the events that were happening here a couple months ago?
Shelley Daly: Very much so, do you?
Zach Dallas: We're trying to get forces together to fight against a much greater force of evil
Shelley Daly: I see.
Zach Dallas: You've heard of the City of Lost Angels, correct?
Shelley Daly: Yes
Zach Dallas: Reverend Grimm is our current target
Zach Dallas: But in order for him to actual be injured
Zach Dallas: we have to get rid of his unholy inner circle
Shelley Daly: Well, you definitely pick big enemies. Next you will tell me that you plan on killing Hellstromme...
Zach Dallas: Actually, I think Hellstromme is siding with Grimm
Shelley Daly: Oh good, that makes life much easier for you.
Shelley Daly looks at Grey.
Zach Dallas: Simpler. Not easier
Shelley Daly: So...the black man-woman is not fundamentally insane, are you sure about Zach Dallas?
Cynthia Grey: I'm positive that he is completely off his rocker.
Shelley Daly: Oh good.
Zach Dallas: I'm perfectly stable, thank you very much
Cynthia Grey: That's what all crazy people believe.
Crow caws hysterically.
Zach Dallas shrugs
Shelley Daly looks back at Grey.
Shelley Daly: I believe we have some business to attend to?
Cynthia Grey: Yes.
Zach Dallas: What business?
Cynthia Grey: Girl stuff.
Shelley Daly: Yes
Cynthia Grey: Do you have it?
Shelley Daly: Emma gave it to me before she left town. I brought it here.
Zach Dallas: Have what? The soul shard?
Cynthia Grey: Excellent.
Cynthia Grey looks at Zach Dallas.
Cynthia Grey: Unless you want to change your perspective on the world, I recommend you leave. Now.
Ezekial Ikwiano: I'm a girl, can I stay?
Shelley Daly shrugs.
Zach Dallas: I already think through games anyways
Cynthia Grey: Sure Zeke.
Cynthia Grey gestures at Zeke with her thumb.
Cynthia Grey: That one.
Shelley Daly: Check.
Crow flaps off to the south.
Crow: *caw* beer *caw*
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting [1d12 = 21]
Cynthia Grey: Well Zach, suit yourself.
Cynthia Grey: Nice knowing you, I'm sure your next life will be much better than this one was.
Shelley Daly shrugs.
Zach Dallas: Why is it myself particularly?
Zach Dallas: rather than Zeke or Ms Daly?
Shelley Daly: According to Miss Grey, bad things are about to happen to men. I guess your black man-woman got lucky.
Shelley Daly looks at Zeke.
Shelley Daly: By the way, my name's Shelley Daly, and it is interesting to meet a black man-woman.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Much obliged ma'am
Zach Dallas: What's the radius?
Shelley Daly picks up the sack that was lying on the ground next to her and opens it.
Cynthia Grey: Your hubris, if you start running now, you might escape.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): evens run, odds stay
Zach Dallas: Gambling [1d8 = 7]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Well, a 3 and a 7
Zach Dallas has been awarded a benny
TADM: For in character suicide, 1 benny.
Zach Dallas: Black I stay, red I run
Shelley Daly pulls out a Colt Buntline pistol made of some white metal.
Zach Dallas flips up the black joker from the top of his deck
Zach Dallas: Meh
Ezekial Ikwiano draws Bo and Luke.
Zach Dallas: Common Knowledge [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 8]
Shelley Daly looks at Zeke.
TADM: "It's a Mexican standoff, only we don't have no Mexicans."
Zach Dallas: That is a very impressive gun
Shelley Daly slides the Colt into her holster.
Shelley Daly: Thanks, it belonged to Emma.
Zach Dallas holds a deck of cards up to his eyes, blocking Grey from view
Ezekial Ikwiano puts Bo and Luke away.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): was it the one she used in the past?
TADM: No, Zach has never seen it before.
Zach Dallas: Wow, and she never decided to bring that sucker out?
Zach Dallas whistles
Zach Dallas: puts Bo and Luke to shame
Ezekial Ikwiano: Don't make me shoot your dick off
Cynthia Grey: Just don't get sloppy.
Shelley Daly: This feels a bit...wrong.
Cynthia Grey: Fine girl, we'll do this the hard way.
Shelley Daly: Wow, blase and heartless...
Cynthia Grey draws a pistol and shoots at Shelley.
Cynthia Grey: Shooting [1d10 = 6]
Zach Dallas: Agility [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 4]
Zach Dallas tries to intercept
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): am I anywhere close enough to warrent a benny?
Cynthia Grey: Agility [1d8 = 6]
GM: Sure, if you can beat a 6.
Zach Dallas is using a benny
Zach Dallas: Agility [1d10 = 21]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): takes the bullet in his good eye
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): shit
Zach Dallas throws himself in the way of the bullet.
Shelley Daly draws her pistol and returns fire.
Zach Dallas looks surprised as the bullet bounces off of his chest
Shelley Daly: Shooting [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 11]
Shelley Daly: Colt Buntline damage [3d6+1 = 21]
Zach Dallas: Aw, dammit
Shelley Daly shoots Cynthia through the heart.
Zach Dallas: DAMMIT
Cynthia Grey drops to her knees.
Cynthia Grey: Well done.
Cynthia Grey: Good...girl...
Cynthia Grey tips over and drops to the ground.
Shelley Daly holsters pistol and runs over to Cynthia.
Zach Dallas rushes over as well
Shelley Daly: Ma'am...I...
Cynthia Grey: You did...the right thing...
Zach Dallas: That was her plan to begin with
Zach Dallas: she had a rubber bullet
Shelley Daly: She what?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Y'all are fucking crazy
Zach Dallas: Yeah, I'm just as surprised
Cynthia Grey smiles at Zeke as blood dribbles out of her mouth.
Cynthia Grey: Sorry Zeke...I wanted to tie you down in bed.
Cynthia Grey: Not my fault you turned into a woman....
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): WHERE IS URIEL WHEN YOU NEED HIM!
Ezekial Ikwiano: Where the fuck is Uriel when we need him
Shelley Daly: Err...well, as famous last words go....
Cynthia Grey: It was for the right reasons.
Cynthia Grey closes eyes.
Ezekial Ikwiano cops a quick feel.
Zach Dallas: Necrofiliac
GM: Technically, lesbian necrophiliac.
Ezekial Ikwiano: I like all women
Ezekial Ikwiano: even me
Cynthia Grey's body begins pulsing with a red light.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Good evil light or bad evil light?
Winds howl through the gorge, boulders are knocked free and go bouncing along.
Ezekial Ikwiano runs for cover.
Shelley Daly: This would be the part where she did not want us to be in town...
Zach Dallas: Yeah
Zach Dallas: So, what is this supposed to do?
Hundreds of female spirits materialize around Grey's body. They pulse red for a second before unleashing a banshee wail and attacking Zach Dallas en masse.
GM: I will need 8 Spirit checks and 3 Vigor Checks from Zach. TN=4.
Zach Dallas: Spirit [1d8 = 6]
Zach Dallas: Spirit [1d8 = 7]
Zach Dallas: Spirit [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 5]

A cloud of black smoke pours out of Zach's mouth and ears, when enough of it gathers it turns into a twenty foot tall female wraith. It shrieks in rage.
GM: Spirit checks at -4 for everyone within 3 miles.
GM: (Coffin Rock is 5 miles away.)

Ezekial Ikwiano: Spirit [1d8 = 15]
GM: Well, no one insta-died. That's good.
The grass and trees in the area wither and turn black. The ground begins oozing blood.
Shelley Daly: Hmm...she left out a few parts I think.
Zach Dallas: She tends to do that sometimes
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): is her body recovering?
GM: Vigor check at -4 from Zach Dallas.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): stop that
TADM: This one is the amusing one, you would have made this check whether you were here or not.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol thank you
Zach Dallas: Vigor (-4) [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6-4 = -2]

Crow drinks a beer at the Six Feet Under Saloon and wonders what everyone else is up to.
Zach Dallas: Smarts [1d12 = 10]
Zach Dallas: Spirit [1d6 = 5]
Zach Dallas is catapulted about fifteen feet into the air and hangs there, suspended in midair. He starts glowing like the noon sun. White light pours of every orifice of his body, which also has the unfortunate side effect of burning off all his clothes.
Zach Dallas: Owwwwwwww
Shelley Daly: Wow, that would have been embarrassing in Shan Fan.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): my custom eye patch, noooo!
The light flows from Zach Dallas to Cynthia's body in a giant arc.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Noooo
About thirty seconds later, he drops to the ground with a thud.
GM: Vigor check
Zach Dallas thuds to the ground
Zach Dallas: Vigor [1d6 = 3]
Zach Dallas: he's not very graceful
He then bounces twice and remains motionless.
Cynthia's body pulses with a blinding white light one more time, then vanishes from view.
The winds die down, the boulders stop being tossed around, and the other spirits vanish in smaller pulses.
Shelley Daly walks over to Zeke.
Shelley Daly: Don't know about you, but that qualifies as "weird shit" in my book.
Shelley Daly hands Zeke the white metal Colt Buntline.
Shelley Daly: She said you were supposed to have this.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Thanks ma'am
Shelley Daly looks over at Zach.
Zach Dallas twitches
Shelley Daly: There are some medicines, whiskey, and cocaine in the cabin. That should help you get Zach on his feet.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Good call
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): by the way, since I had a pack of cards out before this fiesta, I'm assuming I dropped it and it was spared of the incindiary side effect
Shelley Daly: I need to go avert a riot back in Coffin Rock, I have no idea what all these shenanigans have done there.
Shelley Daly heads back to town.
Ezekial Ikwiano picks up Zach and carries him into the cabin.
TADM: Sure, your cards and hat can survive.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): yeah!
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d6 = 3]
Ezekial Ikwiano searches for the medicine and cocaine in the cabin.
Zach is naked, but conscious. He feels like crap and looks like he has second degree burns on his fingers, toes, and around every opening on his body.
Zach Dallas: ow ow ow
GM: It takes about fifteen minutes, but Zeke is able to locate the medicine cabinet and necessary supplies.
Zach Dallas: any clothes in the shack?
Zach Dallas: Smarts [1d12 = 8]
Zach Dallas: Spirit [1d6 = 13]
Some moth-eaten women's night gowns that the Pearl gang left behind.
Ezekial Ikwiano grabs some burn ointment from the cabinet and brings it to Zach.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Here you go Zach
Ezekial Ikwiano: for the burns
Zach Dallas: Thanks
Ezekial Ikwiano: There's cocain too if you need a pick-me-up
Zach Dallas: I'd consider it, but I'll pass
Zach Dallas grabs one of the night gowns
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting (-4) [1d12-4 = 3]
Ezekial Ikwiano takes as much of the Whiskey and Cocaine as he can fit into his duster pockets.
Zach Dallas: it shifts into a servicible set of pants and shirt
GM: Zeke loads himself up on whiskey and cocaine. The cocaine is not very good quality in Zeke's opinion, but the Whiskey is a brand he recognizes, and evidently the prior occupants had good taste in alcohol.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): any shoes?
GM: Nope.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): did my shoes get left on the ground when I got launched as if I were a cartoon character?
Crow flies in through the open window.
GM: No, the shoes burned off.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Ey Crow, I've got Cocaine and Whiskey!
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol
Crow caws with delight.
Crow sticks beak into wing and pulls out a pair of shot glasses.
Ezekial Ikwiano: now you're talkin
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I must admit, you're much better with animals than Moku ever was
Ezekial Ikwiano fills the shot glasses with Whiskey and tosses in a dash of cocaine.
Ezekial Ikwiano: down the hatch
TADM: Yes, Zeke rarely kills animals around him. They have a longer lifespan than people do.
Ezekial Ikwiano drinks his shot and lights a cigar.
Crow drinks the shot and hiccups.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): true, but only because they are all alcoholic chain smokers.
TADM: Good point, we will have to see how the normal animals in Iron Dynasty fare.
TADM: Given that the horse was demonically possessed and the crow is...well...you'll find out.
Ezekial Ikwiano My ID character is not the sort to be killing people or animals really.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Neither was Moku, though, she just kept putting them through the wrong situations
TADM: Nominally neither are Q's characters, but they seem to munch through them with shocking abandon.
There are now 13 days, 23 hours left until the big shindig.
Zach Dallas: well, I guess we go back to town, I get better clothes, then we go to Tacheene and see if we can find Laughs at Darkness
An Indian Shaman opens the front door and steps inside, he holds his arms above his head to show he is not carrying any weapons.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Want some whiskey?
Laughs-at-Darkness: You found me.
Ezekial Ikwiano: or cocaine?
Laughs-at-Darkness: Ah! Firewater?
Laughs-at-Darkness laughs.
Ezekial Ikwiano: hell yeah
Laughs-at-Darkness: Sure thing, I will share one with you and the Crow.
Laughs-at-Darkness nods to the Crow.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Crow, another glass
Crow: *caw* About damn time *caw*
Laughs-at-Darkness: Don't look at me, I was not coming here with all those fireworks.
Crow pulls out another shotglass.
Ezekial Ikwiano pours three shots of cocaine'd whiskey.
Crow drinks his shot, looks woozy, passes out.
Zach Dallas: Coward, I made it through just fine
Ezekial Ikwiano drinks.
Laughs-at-Darkness drinks the shot.
Zach Dallas: Arguably in better shape than I was before, even
Laughs-at-Darkness: Not bad.
Ezekial Ikwiano: If by just fine, you mean naked and covered in burns
Laughs-at-Darkness laughs and nods at Zeke.
Zach Dallas: And no longer possessed
Ezekial Ikwiano: Being possessed aint so bad
Laughs-at-Darkness: You must realize that naked and covered in burns is a normal thing for Zach Dallas.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Me too
Ezekial Ikwiano: Except the burning is mostly in my penis
Ezekial Ikwiano: Which is missing at the moment
Laughs-at-Darkness laughs.
Zach Dallas: I wonder if it will still be there when we're done
Laughs-at-Darkness: Ah, I knew there was something strange about you, black woman.
Zach Dallas: Right, Zeke, this is Laughs-at-Darkness
Ezekial Ikwiano: I figured
Laughs-at-Darkness: Your aura suggested you were a black man...one with much hatred and violence.
Ezekial Ikwiano: More violence than hatred
Zach Dallas: Laughs-at-Darkness, this is Ezekial Ikwiano, temporarily possessed and female
Laughs-at-Darkness: Yes, nice to meet you.
Ezekial Ikwiano: don't got anyone left to hate, I killed em all
Laughs-at-Darkness: Ah...my mistake, it is difficult for me to tell the difference between hate and lust. They look very similar.
Laughs-at-Darkness puts empty shotglass on top of sleeping crow.
Laughs-at-Darkness: You have come here seeking help against those who eat flesh?
Zach Dallas: Yes
Zach Dallas: We need help taking out Reverend Grimm and his bodyguards
Zach Dallas: Would you be willing to help us?
Laughs-at-Darkness: I am sorry, my domain extends only as far as what you call the Rocky Mountains. My power does not extend into the Sierra Nevadas or points further west.
Zach Dallas: Ah, curses
Laughs-at-Darkness: Tacheene will have similar problems. He can send you there, but his power extends no further.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): well, damn, I forgot I had that cross on me an hour ago
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): That would probably have done wonders to protect my body
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): is it still fine?
TADM: Actually, no, and I did not forget you had it. Yes, it is fine.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): OK, so it was taken into account
TADM: Yes, which is why you only needed a 4 on the first 12 rolls. :)
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol rather than a 10?!
TADM: Yep. You were warned to leave the area.
Zach Dallas: I don't suppose either of you would have any sort of tools or relics that you could lend us, would you?
Laughs-at-Darkness: Nothing that will work better than the Christian relic you carry.
Zach Dallas: Even tips might be useful now
Laughs-at-Darkness: Tips?
Laughs-at-Darkness purses his lips in thought.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Steak tips, I'm hungry
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): dammit, Fen, now I'm hungry
Laughs-at-Darkness: When the time of the battle comes, seek out and slay the white-haired mother, the fallen native warrior, and the one you have already met first. They are the greatest threats other than the great darkness that binds them all to this world.
Laughs-at-Darkness: Aside from that, there is little I can tell you of those abominations, for they are protected from my sight and I only see them in half-glances.
Zach Dallas: We've met several before
Zach Dallas: Is it one with one arm?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): on the other hand, if it's the other guy then that means they don't get much worse than him. That'll be a bit reassuring.
Laughs-at-Darkness describes Michael Coulter to you.
Laughs-at-Darkness: That man.
Zach Dallas: Whew
Zach Dallas: That guy was a handful
Zach Dallas: if he wasn't one of the more worrisome of them, we'd be in trouble
Zach Dallas: wait
Zach Dallas: dammit, that was Garrett that we fought
Zach Dallas: that's annoying
Zach Dallas: Stupid notebook got burned up...
Zach Dallas's face turns pale
Zach Dallas: Laughs-at-darkness, could I borrow a light? I think I lost something outside that I need to get back
Laughs-at-Darkness: Sure.
Laughs-at-Darkness pulls a feather off his headdress and it lights up like a small flashlight.
Laughs-at-Darkness looks at Zeke.
Laughs-at-Darkness: Shall we share another drink? That was rather good.
Zach Dallas takes the feather
Zach Dallas: Thanks
Ezekial Ikwiano pours two more shots.
Ezekial Ikwiano: cheers
Laughs-at-Darkness: Cheers.
Ezekial Ikwiano drinks his shot and goes back to smoking his cigar.
Laughs-at-Darkness drinks the shot.
Zach Dallas heads outside
Ezekial Ikwiano: So you know magic stuff right?
Laughs-at-Darkness: Well, I know the ways of Nature Spirits.
Ezekial Ikwiano: right
Ezekial Ikwiano pulls out the white gun and slides it to Laughs-at-darkness
Ezekial Ikwiano: Can you tell me what's so special bout this gun?
Ezekial Ikwiano: That Mrs. Grey wanted me to have it
Laughs-at-Darkness: Hmm...I am not wise to the ways of white man magic and weapons.
Laughs-at-Darkness picks up the gun and looks at it carefully.
Laughs-at-Darkness: Hmm...I would guess that whatever bullet this weapon fires is blessed by the Christian God. It looks to be enchanted such that creatures of great evil lose their protections when shot by it.
Laughs-at-Darkness sets the gun down and slides it back over to Zeke.
Ezekial Ikwiano puts the gun back in his gun belt.
Laughs-at-Darkness: I'd say that it's singular purpose is to slay evil.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Thanks, I'll have to ask Uriel about it if we ever find him again
Laughs-at-Darkness: It is the kind of weapon that would be ideal for killing the creatures who eat flesh and things that are similarly evil. Not all of them, but a great many. You said Miss Grey wanted you to have it?
Ezekial Ikwiano: That's what Shelley said
Laughs-at-Darkness: Strange, as it would be one of the few things capable of killing Miss Grey.
Laughs-at-Darkness: I would think she would want to hide it, not pass it along to someone else.
Laughs-at-Darkness shrugs.
Zach Dallas staggers back into the room with an assortment of knives, guns, and books
Ezekial Ikwiano: Well
Zach Dallas: It did kill her
Ezekial Ikwiano: She done got shot with it
Ezekial Ikwiano: Don't think cares anymore
Zach Dallas: She took the bullet on purpose
Zach Dallas: And something about her death stripped me of the spirits that I had possession of
Zach Dallas pauses
Zach Dallas: er, that had possession of me?
Laughs-at-Darkness raises an eyebrow.
Zach Dallas: Unfortunately, one of them was Grim Wolf
Laughs-at-Darkness: This is...peculiar...
Laughs-at-Darkness: She was plotting something. She had some goal in mind, a creature like her does not willingly sacrifice itself.
Zach Dallas: I know
Laughs-at-Darkness: Well, in any case, take good care of that weapon.
Zach Dallas: That we will
Laughs-at-Darkness: I doubt you gained enough to offset whatever happened during Grey's death.
Laughs-at-Darkness: Now, I cannot join you, but I can ask the Nature Spirits to transport you. Where would you like to go?
Laughs-at-Darkness takes a pouch from his belt and slides it over to Zeke.
Laughs-at-Darkness: Here, take this. Peyote is much more pleasant than cocaine.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Thanks
Ezekial Ikwiano: Much obliged
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol
Laughs-at-Darkness: You may find it brings happiness, it does for me.
Laughs-at-Darkness laughs.
Crow wakes up.
Crow: *caw* Peyote *caw*
Laughs-at-Darkness: None for you, unless he wishes to share.
Crow looks at Zeke.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Later, we had enough for today
Zach Dallas: Fort 51 would be a nice place to head to, I think. But, I'd like to get better clothese first
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): clothes
Laughs-at-Darkness: Fort 51 it is.
Laughs-at-Darkness laughs.
The world goes very dark.
The world gets very bright.
You are standing outside the front entrance to Fort 51. Several union soldiers jump backwards in surprise and point their guns at you.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Hey boys, who wants a drink
Union Newb: Uhh...hold it right there...strange appearing from nowhere people.
Ezekial Ikwiano pulls out a bottle of whiskey
Union Newb looks at Zeke.
Union Newb: Err..well...
GM: Since you do not open fire, the Union soldiers lower their weapons.
Ezekial Ikwiano gives the union soldiers the left-overs from the bottle he had been drinking earlier with Crow and LAD.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Here you go, enjoy it
Ezekial Ikwiano: it's good stuff
Ezekial Ikwiano: now if you'll excuse us, we've got business inside
Union Newb takes bottle.
Zach Dallas: We're here to meet Mr. Bailey
Union Newb: Sure, uh thanks.
Zach Dallas: Er, if he's up at this hour
Zach Dallas: otherwise it'd be nice if we could get a place to stay for the night
Union Newb: Oh, okay, he's going to be asleep, since it is 0300, but you can go ahead.
Union Newb waves you through the gates.
Zach Dallas: Thanks
Ezekial Ikwiano goes through the gates.
Zach Dallas follows after him, lugging his gear
Union Sergeant: And who the hell are you two?
Crow caws loudly.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Three
Union Sergeant: And your bird.
Zach Dallas: I'm an old acquaintence of Dr. Bailey
Union Sergeant: Uh huh.
Zach Dallas shows his Explorer's society ring
Union Sergeant: Uh huh.
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 2]
Ezekial Ikwiano flashes his breasts.
Union Sergeant chuckles.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Now get outa my way, I'm too tired and drunk for this
Zach Dallas: Listen, if we could get a place to stay for tonight Dr. Bailey can verify this in the morning
Union Sergeant: Right, how about we check you for weapons and lock you in a nice cell? Then Dr. Bailey can come let you out in the morning if you are really his friends. I'll even apologize.
Ezekial Ikwiano: I'll save you the trouble
Ezekial Ikwiano: I'm heavily armed
Zach Dallas sighs
An alarm goes off.
Zach Dallas facepalms
Ezekial Ikwiano: Well, on the plus side that will wake up Dr. Bailey
Searchlights flood the area, chain gatlings swivel into position and focus on Zeke and Zach.
Ezekial Ikwiano puffs on his cigar.
You hear lots of booted feet as the guard runs into position to repel the intruders.
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting (Wound Penalty -2, Fatigue Penalty -2) [1d12-4 = 6]
Union Sergeant walks away from the three of you.
Zach Dallas: I hate my life
Ezekial Ikwiano: Why so serious?
Union Sergeant has a conversation with some people in the distance.
Zach Dallas: Please don't get us killed, we don't have bennies
A dignified looking, older black man walks over and smiles when he sees Zach Dallas.
Dr. Elijah Bailey: Ah, Mr. Dallas, good to see you again.
Zach Dallas sighs and smiles
Zach Dallas: Good morning, Dr. Bailey. I'm sorry to have woken you up so early in the morning
Dr. Elijah Bailey: And your very attractive companion there, I must ask, do you work out?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Yeah
Dr. Elijah Bailey seems to have forgotten Zach was there.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Mostly by bashing people's heads in
Dr. Elijah Bailey: Ah, a woman of action, just the kind I like.
Ezekial Ikwiano: My name is Zeke by the way
Dr. Elijah Bailey: Strange name for a woman, but nice to meet you, I am Doctor Elijah Bailey, creator of tonics and elixirs.
Dr. Elijah Bailey looks at Zach.
Ezekial Ikwiano: I was a man a week ago
Dr. Elijah Bailey: Eh, what's that?
Dr. Elijah Bailey looks at Zeke.
Zach Dallas: Not joking
Dr. Elijah Bailey: Hmm...fascinating. Medical procedure?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Magical, I think
Ezekial Ikwiano: I don't really understand it
Dr. Elijah Bailey: Ah...
Ezekial Ikwiano: but these are a fun side bonus
Dr. Elijah Bailey looks curious and slightly revolted.
Ezekial Ikwiano flashes his breasts.
Dr. Elijah Bailey whistles appraisingly.
Zach Dallas facepalms
Dr. Elijah Bailey: Those are spectacular.
Dr. Elijah Bailey: Well, aside from a very attractive...hmm...person, what brings you to Fort 51 this early in the morning?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Some indian Magic
The searchlights return to their normal pattern, the guards return to their posts, and the gatlings swivel into a less threatening position.
Dr. Elijah Bailey: Ah, they do have mysterious ways.
Zach Dallas: To be honest, I wasn't expecting us to wind up here quite so quickly
Ezekial Ikwiano: So when he said "transport" you assumed he meant by horse?
Zach Dallas: I don't suppose we could get a room and a change of clothes, could we?
Dr. Elijah Bailey looks at Zach.
Dr. Elijah Bailey: You two need a room?
Ezekial Ikwiano: would be nice
Dr. Elijah Bailey: Well, far be it from me to judge others.
Zach Dallas: I assumed he meant tomorrow morning
Dr. Elijah Bailey: I have a spare room in my house.
Dr. Elijah Bailey: This way.
Zach Dallas: Thank you very much
Dr. Elijah Bailey gestures for you to follow him.
Ezekial Ikwiano tips his cap and follows Bailey.
Dr. Elijah Bailey: Just..ah...don't do anything too messy in the spare room. It has a nice bed, but it kind of creaks if you get too excited.
Zach Dallas throws up a little
Dr. Elijah Bailey leads you into his house.
Zach Dallas grabs his stuff and follows after him
Dr. Elijah Bailey: The spare room is in the back of the hallway. The bathroom is next to it. You need any food or some drinks?
Dr. Elijah Bailey: I have some tea.
Ezekial Ikwiano: No thanks Dr.
Zach Dallas: I'll be good, thank you. I just need some sleep
Ezekial Ikwiano flops onto the bed face down and passes out.
Zach Dallas: although healing tonics and a spare set of clothes will be useful
Campaign saved.
