Tack (Uriel Iscariot): No worries.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Just say when is good.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): TOUCAN SAM METHOD NEVER FAILS
Weematai curls into a ball, nesting her hands under her head. She goes to sleep in about five minutes. The night passes uneventfully.
TADM: Because you do not want a cranky Indian Shaman in the morning.
Uriel Iscariot: May the Lord bless this new day he hath graceth us with!
Uriel Iscariot begins with morning prayers
Uriel Iscariot: Whats the matter heretics? No one is grateful for the sunrise?
Weematai wakes up in the morning. Since Uriel is busy at his morning prayers, she takes this opportunity to sing to the Nature Spirits.
Uriel Iscariot: Zach?
Zach Dallas: Yes?
Zach Dallas covers his face with his hat
Uriel Iscariot: We just survied a small war, and are still breathing. Don't you ever count your blessings?
Zach Dallas glances out at Uriel
Zach Dallas: I count them every day. 1, 2, 3, 4. Done.
Uriel Iscariot appears unamused.
Uriel Iscariot kicks Pete
Pete continues to snore.
Weematai finishes up her morning prayer, opens her pack and gets out some cooking utensils. She prepares breakfast.
Weematai: Cooking [1d6 = 5]
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 5]
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Tools
Zach Dallas sits up and begins to pack away his sleeping gear
Weematai's cooking utensils are all made from stone, petrified wood, or obsidian. She has one really ornate pair of cooking chopsticks also.
GM: The food smells delicious.
Uriel Iscariot: Hey Weematai....what are those (points to chopsticks)?
Weematai: They are a gift from a friend, she called them o-hashi. They are very useful for cooking things.
One other thing you notice, Weematai's cooking fire is completely smokeless. In fact, you realize that from where you are sitting, no one in the area probably has the foggiest clue you are here, except for the smell of delicious food.
Uriel Iscariot: Kn Occult {+2 Honey Vial} [Critical failure!] [1d6+2 = 3]
TADM: YAY!
Uriel Iscariot: Where there is no smoke, it is natural to have lots of fire, thats what me mum always said...
Zach Dallas: Common Knowledge [1d6 = 10]
Zach Dallas: Either that or it's not real fire. For all your morning prayers, you're pretty bed-headed, aren't you priest?
GM: Based on Uriel's roll, this woman is clearly using all sorts of profane demonic arts. In fact, you are relatively certain she just poisoned everyone.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Isn't that what he should've thought if he'd passed the check?
TADM: Meh, I think it is what Uriel would think regardless of the die result.
GM: Zach, on the other hand, is convinced that Weematai is not only a brilliant cook, but an expert at outdoor survival.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): WOOT!
Uriel Iscariot: Zach, I warn thee, that food will be the death of you, more so than those Demon Friends, and Demon Lady Friend of yours!
Uriel Iscariot: Taunt [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 9]
Weematai dishes out some pemmican and roasted veggies for everyone.
Zach Dallas: Demon Lady Friend?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): pemmican or pellican?
Zach Dallas: Smarts [1d10 = 7]
TADM: Pemmican, it is a type Native American jerky made from deer or elk.
Uriel Iscariot: I will have none of that unclean food poison my body, witch!
Zach Dallas: Suit yourself, good sir
Zach Dallas finishes packing up
Zach Dallas: But she's using Nature spirits, same as just lighting a fire except with a different source
Uriel Iscariot: Didn't I say to can it with the demon talk? You're already swarming with them, why don't you get a sign and wear it around....AS for whats actually going on, Care to explain this hex, Weematai?
Weematai: Um, I am unsure why you are so hostile and angry, Mr. Iscariot. Although it seems that many holy men of the white man faith are.
Weematai: What is this "hex" you speak of and I shall be happy to try and explain.
Uriel Iscariot: Please do.
Zach Dallas: He means the fire
Weematai: The fire?
Zach Dallas: Yes, it's not giving off much smoke
Nick (Stinky Pete): Did I miss anything of import?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Uriel kicked you
Weematai: Oh, yes, white men make noisy smelly fires. The trick is quite simple, you just need the right type of woods in the right sequence.
TADM: Uriel is insulting the new Shaman-friend, who cooked everyone breakfast by the way.
Zach Dallas laughs
Nick (Stinky Pete): ok. brb. need to get rid of my dinner plate
Weematai: I think we should be going soon, the walk to Shan Fan is long and it will be hotter as the day goes on.
Zach Dallas: A good idea
Uriel Iscariot: Oh No....We shan't worry about the Mi'day sun.
Uriel Iscariot: "....and he will guide me, e'vn through the valley of Death..."
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): you used a ' when you would normally have used a "d". In fact, is there even a difference in pronunciation with that?
Uriel Iscariot Environmental Protection
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): You can decide :3
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} [1d10+2 = 8]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): wrong spot for the ' in e'vn.
Nick (Stinky Pete): back
Stinky Pete: Well, let's get a movin'!
Uriel Iscariot: Now hold still for a second, ye faithful...
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} +2 (Novice Power Penalty -2) [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 5]
Uriel Iscariot is using a benny
GM: Okay, Uriel has Environmental Protection for 2 hours now.
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} +2 (Novice Power Penalty -2) [1d10 = 19]
Uriel Iscariot And that is on Zach
TADM: Four hours on Zach.
Weematai packs her stuff up, shoulders her bow, and heads off north.
Uriel Iscariot follows
She picks a path AROUND the burning conflagation of smelly doom otherwise known as "The Battlefield of Lost Angels."
Stinky Pete: follows
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 5]
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [1d6+2 = 7]
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d6 = 11]
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): I vote everyone gets a free Bradley card to use once per game
Well, if you are looking out into the battlefield, you notice that it is mostly an oily, black, nasty mess, comprised of thousands of melted together people and gear.
GM: You shudder when you think of what would happen should someone enact a ritual to turn that mess into a giant army of Walking Dead.
TADM: Not that anyone is planning that....
Uriel Iscariot: Guts {+3 Veteran} [1d6+3 = 5]
Zach Dallas: Guts {+4 Veteran/True Grit} [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6+4 = 6]
Uriel Iscariot: I get the feeling a little bit of hell is here on Earth.
Uriel Iscariot: stares at Weematai
Stinky Pete: Guts {+2 True Grit(H),+2 Seasoned} [1d6+4 = 11]
Uriel Iscariot: Ya know, if people behaved as they should (waves around the Bible) this kind of thing wouldnt happen
TADM: Okay, Pete is the only one who would have passed.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I'm glad that's a "would have"
Weematai: I believe that many people are too wrapped up in trying to survive to follow the precepts found in your collection of dead trees.
Nick (Stinky Pete): Pharmacist: "Pills should be taken annually". Patient: "That's anally." Pharmacist: "Oh Shit"
Weematai: However, I understand that Faith among some white people is very strong, so there must be some comfort in your dead trees for those who read them. I read them once, but I find that many of your people do not follow them, even while they wave the dead trees around.
Uriel Iscariot: Dead trees. Interesting.
Zach Dallas chuckles
Weematai: For instance, the whole "thou shalt not kill" thing seems to be lost on white men.
Zach Dallas: Seems lost on most everyone now'a'days
Uriel Iscariot: What? Its obvious by both the immediate context and surrounding books that such a law only applies to people in the In group. Some Devil musta erased that asterisk and explainatory paragraph.
Uriel Iscariot: Zach would tell you more about said Devils, he seems to be an expert.
Weematai: Well, I would be interested in hearing more if you wish to talk.
Zach Dallas: Eh, yes and no. Jokers are not much for allies for anyone
Weematai: By the way, don't step there.
Weematai points at spot of white sand in the ground near where you are walked.
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [Critical failure!] [1d6 = 1]
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [1d6+2 = 7]
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 6]
From the white sand a pair of black antennae are sticking out, it looks like some cunningly concealed trap-door spider lives there. Providing of course that said spider is about two foot in size.
TADM: Uriel wants to tug on them to make sure with that roll.
Uriel Iscariot: These? This is where some savages cut down our talking wires....I'd better dig em up and tell the company what happened...
Uriel Iscariot approaches the spider nest.
Zach Dallas: Agility [1d6 = 11]
Zach Dallas: stop that
Uriel Iscariot: Persuasion [1d8 = 3]
Zach Dallas: Smarts [1d10 = 5]
Uriel Iscariot: Listen, wouldn't YOU want sabatoge reported if YOU owned a company?
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [1d6 = 14]
Zach Dallas: Remember those giant bugs?
Zach Dallas: Do those antennae look familiar to you?
Uriel Iscariot: Well yah
Uriel Iscariot: Smarts [1d6 = 4]
Uriel Iscariot: Okay....So maybe I'll stay away.
The spider leaps out to attack Uriel; however, it does not get a surprise round against anyone other than Uriel.
Round 1
The deck has been shuffled.
Dealing cards...
Spider: D8 [1d8 = 5]
Spider: [2d6 = 9]
Spider: NOM NOM NOM!
Stinky Pete: I say we let it eat him. Obviously, he doesn't know how to avoid tarps
GM: Vigor check Uriel.
Uriel Iscariot: Vigor [1d6 = 3]
Uriel Iscariot is using a benny
Uriel Iscariot: Vigor [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 3]
TADM: Hmm...interesting...(scribble, scribble)
Zach Dallas
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): HOLY CRAP
Zach Dallas: OH GOOD GOD THAT IS LARGE
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Fate has PWNED Uriel's dice. Fate is on a BLOODBATH
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): can I get a clean shot off on it?
Zach Dallas pulls out a pistol
GM: Well, it is latched on to Uriel and biting him. So you could shoot him, but it would be BAD to miss.
Zach Dallas: Shooting [1d10 = 7]
GM: That hits.
Zach Dallas: Colt Peacemaker damage [2d6+1 = 9]
TADM: Oh hey, did Uriel want to try and soak that Wound from the spider?
GM: Zach shoots the spider, it falls to the ground dazed.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Nah, Imma need my bennies it seems. =)
Stinky Pete
Stinky Pete: Shooting (Called Shot (Head) -4) [1d8-4 = 1]
GM: Pete hits the ground near it, the creature seems unfazed by this blatant attempt at intimidation.
Weematai: Tribal Medicine: Beast Friend [1d12 = 11]
Weematai: Peace Spider, this one is no good for eating.
Weematai sings a short song to the spider, throws a piece of pemmican the other direction.
Spider rotates to look in the direction of the pemmican.
Nick (Stinky Pete): "I will do the Stinging!"
Round 2
Dealing cards...
Spider was dealt the Black Joker! Go whenever you want this round. You also get: Joker Trait/Damage Bonus [2]
The deck has been shuffled.
TADM: Woot! Go for the Joker Spider!
Spider: Spirit D6+2 [1d6 = 9]
Stinky Pete: Guess Uriel finally got caught in his own web of lies
The Spider scurries after the pemmican, evidently convinced that Uriel is not worth eating.
Weematai: Throwing +2 Marksman [1d6+2 = 7]
Weematai: Obsidian Knife damage [2d6+1 = 10]
Uriel Iscariot tries to respond but is shaken and bitten.
Weematai throws her Obsidian Knife into the thorax of the spider, causing it to shudder and come to a stop.
Weematai: Well, we are lucky to have found food today. Those are good eating.
Nick (Stinky Pete): Hmmm note to self: Don't piss off Weematai
Weematai walks over and picks up the spider, hacks the head and legs off and carries it back to the group.
Zach Dallas: How bad is the poison on those?
Weematai: The poison is in the head, so don't eat that part. It causes blindness and paralysis.
Zach Dallas glances at Uriel
Zach Dallas: I was thinking more about the poor priest
Weematai: Hmm...I am sure his God will protect him. If not, I have an antidote.
Stinky Pete: Uriel, you should hollow out the head and make it into a hat :)
Zach Dallas: The antidote would be pretty useful here. It doesn't look like he's moving
Uriel Iscariot: Spirit [1d10 = 6]
Uriel Iscariot: Im Moving just fine!
GM: Uriel recovers from being shaken. The world is looking a bit dim though.
Zach Dallas: Really? Are you sure you don't want any medication for that?
Uriel Iscariot: Smarts [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 3]
Uriel Iscariot: I don't need any medication!
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): (lol)
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): 10'o'clock news: An unlucky string of dice has retired long time pastor ...
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol
Uriel Iscariot: I don't need any "all natural" medicines.
Uriel Iscariot: I will be perfectly fine.
Zach Dallas: Are you having any difficulty seeing right now?
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 3]
Uriel Iscariot: I can see just fine, and why are you dressed in a tuxedo?
Zach Dallas: Smarts [1d10 = 15]
Weematai: He's clearly delusional. Perhaps his God will help him out though?
Zach Dallas: Not likely
Weematai: Anyway, let's be on our way.
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [1d6 = 7]
Uriel Iscariot: Spirit [1d10 = 5]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): You should take some, just in case
Uriel Iscariot: Smarts [1d6 = 2]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Like I said, "That's above a 2, so you can't beat it"
Weematai: Well, I can give him the antidote, but won't that offend his God?
Zach Dallas: Nah
Weematai: I do not wish to make his God angry at him.
Weematai gives Uriel the antidote.
Uriel Iscariot takes the antidote without putting up any further fuss
Stinky Pete: Oooh! Is the medicine a few bullet-shaped pieces of lead to be taken directly to the face?!?
Zach Dallas: You can't rely off God too much, especially when the antidote is sitting right next to you
Weematai looks strangely at Pete.
Stinky Pete: His God's angry at everyone
Weematai: That is why I commune with Nature Spirits, they are very rational beings.
Weematai: Well, let us be off.
Zach Dallas: I have to say, Jokers are much the same way
Uriel Iscariot: One second...I still have a little cut from that bugger...
Weematai heads off to the north, carrying the large spider abdomen with her.
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} +2 (Novice Power Penalty -2) [1d10 = 3]
Uriel Iscariot is using a benny
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} +2 (Novice Power Penalty -2) [1d10 = 6]
Zach Dallas follows after our guide
Uriel Iscariot Follows Weematai.
The walk is uneventful and you make it through the day without further incident.
GM: Everyone subtract 3 quarts of water from your inventory.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Wait. I wish to speak in tongues, then understand what weematai means in her native language.
GM: And one day worth of rations if you are not crazy about eating fried spider guts.
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} +2 (Novice Power Penalty -2) [1d10 = 9]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Huh, I forgot to get a new canteen after mine exploded....
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Hey, Uriel, you can summon water, right :D
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): eating fried spider/provisioning for friends and self
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} +2 (Novice Power Penalty -2) [1d10 = 19]

TADM: Uriel summons forth the Holy Firehose!
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): eating fried spider/drinking from the Firehose
Uriel Iscariot: Thou shalt not thirst...
Stinky Pete: NOM NOM NOM GLUG GLUG GLUG!
Weematai guts the spider, scrapes out the juicy yummy parts, adds spices, cooks the good parts using a stone cookput.
GM: Notice checks...
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 3]
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 2]
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [1d6+2 = 5]
The spider is delicious, nutritous, and does not taste anything like chicken.
Uriel Iscariot: Spiders...
GM: D20 [1d20 = 15]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): strikes up a conversation about the Nature spirits with Weematai to gather a general understanding of them and their difference to Manitou
GM: Weematai is happy to talk about Nature Spirits and her beliefs.
[w] -> Uriel Iscariot: You learn that Weematai means, "Little Pleasant One"
Weematai settles down cross-legged and slips into a trance. She hums and sings softly to the Nature Spirits for a couple hours.
Stinky Pete: Hmmm...okay
Uriel Iscariot appreciates peace and quiet.
Zach Dallas sets up a rousing game of Spider Solitaire
Uriel Iscariot: Not much out here.....
Uriel Iscariot: So quiet....
After singing praises to the Nature Spirits, Weematai curls up on her bed roll and goes to sleep.
GM: So who is standing watch, in what order?
Uriel Iscariot: I will stand watch last, as to let my tired, ruined eyes recover.
Stinky Pete: Sounds good. I'll watch now
Zach Dallas: Alright
Zach Dallas: sleep tight, don't let the bed bugs bite
Zach Dallas: Want me to take first, Pete? Or do you want it?
Stinky Pete: I'll take first
Zach Dallas: Alright, wake me up for my shift, then
Zach Dallas settles down to sleep

Duster: Stealth [1d10 = 8]
[w] -> Stinky Pete: You think someone or something is watching you, but you don't know what and can't see anything.
[w] Stinky Pete: Hmmm interesting...
[w] -> Stinky Pete: Whatever it is, it is being very quiet and just watching, not doing anything else.
Stinky Pete: Wakes Zach for his shift
[w] Stinky Pete -> Zach Dallas: Keep your eyes open. Something's watching us
Zach Dallas: Thanks
[w] Zach Dallas -> Stinky Pete: where's it at? Do you know?
GM: Duster: Stealth [1d10 = 6]
[w] Stinky Pete -> Zach Dallas: No clue
Zach Dallas: Notice [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 14]
Zach is about ten minutes into his watch when he sees a pair of hungry looking rabbits just on the edge of the firelight. They sniff cautiously at you and move forward.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Do I have any rabbit-type food?
Nick (Stinky Pete): Were-rabbits!
TADM: Not really.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Eh, I'll shoo the poor critters off then
They get within about six feet of you, looking very skittish and nervous, but obviously very hungry.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): take them to an IHOP restaurant.
TADM: LOL.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): would any of Weematai's vegie cooking count? or is there none left?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): also, are there more of them?
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d6 = 5]
You could probably offer them some veggie cooking, there were leftovers.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): play it by ear?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): offers them Uriel's throat
GM: You do not see any other rabbits out there, just these two.
Zach Dallas offers the rabits some left-overs
[w] Zach Dallas: being careful, since they are very hungry. Don't want to wind up like Uriel
GM: The rabbits move forward and sniff at the food carefully. As they sniff at the food, you decide they are the cutest rabbits EVAR!

GM: Stinky notices that Zach is cuddling up and playing with two adorable looking rabbits. Zach also looks like he is about to die from extreme dehydration.
Uriel Iscariot: I ain't got the moves. Maybe if i knew some hip-hop?
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): I ain't got the moves. Maybe if i knew some hip-hop?
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Oh yeah...these buggers kill VERY quickly.
[w] Zach Dallas: out of curiosity, what would've happened if Uriel's Protection from Environment would still have been active?
[w] -> Zach Dallas: They fatigue you to death, and Zach Dallas is currently oblivious to his extreme dehyradration state.
[w] -> Zach Dallas: They would have dispelled right through it, E.P. does not stop magical attacks.
Nick (Stinky Pete): Well, I am a miner. Maybe I should dig for some carats?
Stinky Pete has been awarded a benny
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): YES!

Weematai: Notice [1d10 = 28]
Uriel Iscariot: No, You need more cuteness to affect a character of my background. You lack sufficient chibiness, and your eyes need a much higher radius
Weematai: ACK! Dusters!

Zach Dallas
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): is there any water near me and am I near one of those things?

Weematai: Throwing +2 Marksman [1d6+2 = 7]
Weematai: Obsidian Knife damage [2d6+1 = 14]
Weematai throws her knife at the fleeing rabbit and it shudders a couple times, then flops over and melts down into a puddle of black oil.
Zach Dallas: Tch, how embarassing
GM: Weematai walks over and picks up her knife.
Zach Dallas pockets his gun
Uriel Iscariot: Too...tired.....to....do...anything...
Zach Dallas: I'm going to need some water
Weematai sighs.
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} +2 (Slight Exhaustion -1, Slight Exhaustion -1, Novice Power Penalty -2) [1d10-2 = 16]
Weematai casts Succor on Zach Dallas.
Weematai: Tribal Medicine [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 3]
Weematai is using a benny
Weematai: Tribal Medicine [1d12 = 9]
Zach Dallas: Thanks for the assistance
Uriel Iscariot: Kn Bible (Slight Exhaustion -1, Slight Exhaustion -1) [1d6-2 = 9]
Uriel Iscariot: Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal
Weematai goes back to sleep.
The rest of the night passes uneventfully.
Stinky Pete: mmmm sleeeeeeeeeeppppppppppp
Uriel Iscariot: Ugh.......freaking rabbits...
The next morning everyone packs up and heads out again.
Uriel Iscariot: So, Demon boy, would you please explain your making out with two demon rabbits?
Weematai: I think it will take about another ten days at this pace if we continue to walk overland.
Weematai: Given that, can we walk and talk while you (points at Uriel) discuss theology with him (points at Zach.)
Weematai heads north.
Zach Dallas follows after without responding to Uriel
Uriel Iscariot follows Weematai
Stinky Pete follows
Uriel Iscariot: HEY! Im talking to you!
Uriel Iscariot: Taunt [1d6 = 9]
Uriel Iscariot: I thought you were into witches, not furries?
Zach Dallas slides up by Uriel while they walk
Zach Dallas puts his hand on his shoulder
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting [1d6 = 10]
Weematai: Just keep heading north along this path, I am going hunting and will catch up with you later.
Weematai heads off into the hills while stringing her bow.
Weematai: Survival {+2 Wilderness,+2 Woodsman} [1d6+4 = 9]
Uriel Iscariot: Eh?
Zach Dallas: I'm not much into demons nor witches
Prospector: D4 [1d4 = 1]
Stinky Pete keeps heading North, whether the others notice or not
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [1d6+2 = 5]
Uriel Iscariot: Oh great now we are split....thanks Zach
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I'm still walking North
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I'm making a point of not slowing down for this
Uriel Iscariot going north
Zach Dallas continues North
The group spots a guy with a wagon and a mule heading toward you from the north. He appears to be a prospector of some type.
As the group gets closer, he seems to get a bit nervous, gets out his rifle and cocks it.
Zach Dallas holds his hands up in the air
[w] Stinky Pete: Do I recognize him?
Prospector Bob: Hey now, who are you?
[w] -> Stinky Pete: Nope.
Zach Dallas: Just travellers, good sir
Prospector Bob: Don't be gettin' no closer to me.
Nick (Stinky Pete): Bob the builder?
TADM: That's his brother.
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 5]
Nick (Stinky Pete): Guess we shouldn't invite him to bob for apples later. Or bob and weave
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d6 = 9]
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Wagon, and any contents therirn
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): anything odd
Prospector Bob: You can just travel around me there, keepin' your hands where I can see 'em.
Zach Dallas cocks his head
Zach Dallas: Where are you headed to, anyways?
It looks like he has some mining supplies, dynamite, a few burlap sacks, and other things which would indicate someone who goes looking for precious metals.
Prospector Bob: Down the trail a bit...back to the Chinaman docks a couple hours that way.
Prospector Bob points with the end of his rifle in the direction of the Great Maze.
Prospector Bob: Then I'm takin' a boat up to Lion's Roar. Lot quicker than walkin'
Uriel Iscariot: Good Prospector Bob, have you ever considered looking for another type of treasure? Something that will never rust, never be stolen, and will last for all eternity?
TADM: You are at the spot with all the scribbles.
Zach Dallas: Hm. About how long would it take?
Prospector Bob: You mean like the eternal love of a succubus that makes me her immortal thrall and we have sex every night? I'm thinking with enough Ghost Rock I can buy me that.
Prospector Bob laughs hysterically.
Zach Dallas: by boat, I mean
Prospector Bob: What? Oh, by boat to Lion's Roar, it would take maybe three days.
TADM: I see Prospector Bob has stymied Uriel.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Eh, I'm still in favor of heading North on land
Stinky Pete: Agreed
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Tack can summon water without a problem and I don't want to spend money
Uriel Iscariot: Great Sizzlin Sheol! Your greed and licentiousness shall see thy soul shackled in hell.
Uriel Iscariot: Taunt [1d6 = 10]
Prospector Bob: Only the good die young preacher, and I aim to live forever.
Prospector Bob: Smarts [1d6 = 2]
Uriel Iscariot: I'm just trying to help another fellow avoid an eternity of pain doused in the smell of sulfur
Uriel Iscariot: It is your soul, Bob.
Prospector Bob: Sulfur smells better'n Ghost Rock preacher.
Uriel Iscariot: Smarts [1d6 = 3]
Prospector Bob: Now I'll mosey my way, you mosey yours, and we call it good.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): How does ghostrock smell?
Zach Dallas: That we shall, good sir
Zach Dallas: Preacher, let's go
TADM: In Uriel's opinions, like Hellish Feces wrapped in a thick layer of EVIL.
Uriel Iscariot: Very well Bob. I shall be praying for thy salvation. I wish you to find your eternal life, but there is only one real life everlasting.
Uriel Iscariot Is content to move on, having taunted the yokels.
Prospector Bob: I shall consider your words, perhaps I will join the right Reverend Grimme and his holy folk.
Stinky Pete: If he's still alive
Prospector Bob moseys on his way.
Uriel Iscariot: My my, what has become of my country folk in the wake of the Ghost Rock boom?
The rest of the day passes uneventfully. Weematai shows up about an hour before sunset with a sack full of bear meat.
Weematai: This is gamey and tough, and I doubt it will taste good, but it is very nutritious.
Weematai: Cooking [1d6 = 9]
Uriel Iscariot: How is it that you were able, to both find and kill a bear?
Zach Dallas: It is certainly better than nothing
But somehow she does an awesome job of making it the best damn bear meat you will probably ever eat.
Weematai: I followed the trail from a kill that it made. I decided that bear would be better than the vultures picking the meat off the carcass.
Weematai: It makes me sad to kill a bear, but survival is a premium out here.
Uriel Iscariot: Kn Occult {+2 Honey Vial} [1d6+2 = 5]
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): (status of the bear as diety/etc in her tribe)
The Bear is considered a master hunter and a symbol of strength to her people.
Weematai digs through the sack with the bear meat and gets out a collection of stunted roots and dehydrated looking herbs.
Zach Dallas: Well, I certainly applaud both your cooking and hunting skills!
Uriel Iscariot: Yes, you are quite....unique.
Weematai: It is getting harder to find food here, today we are lucky, this should be enough for several days for the four of us.
Uriel Iscariot: Yes thank you much. I can do naught but perhaps keep us hydrated.
Zach Dallas gasps at Uriel's blatant modesty
Uriel Iscariot: That shocked?
Uriel Iscariot: Need I remind you that 3 white men could not kill 2 bunnies
Zach Dallas: You just admitted a limit to your abilities
Zach Dallas: Bunnies? Those were nasty little critters indeed
TADM: Well, technically she only managed to kill them because she has the Marksman ability.
Zach Dallas: You seemed to know what they were, right Weematai?
Zach Dallas sparks up a conversation about the dust bunnies
Weematai: They are called Dusters, they are demonic rabbits that first appeared about ten white man years ago.
Zach Dallas: Were they actually Manitou?
Zach Dallas: Or are they a different phenomenon?
Weematai: They are rabbits that died and were possessed by manitou.
Zach Dallas: Ah. I see
Weematai: At least, that is what Fogwalker told me.
Zach Dallas: That explains why they looked rather exhausted
Zach Dallas looks thoughtful
Uriel Iscariot: All things are united like the blood that unites us all. Man did not weave the web of life, he is merely a strand in it. Whatever he does to the web, he does to himself....
Weematai looks at Uriel curiously.
Weematai: That is a very profound and intelligent thing for a white man priest to say.
Zach Dallas gasps again at Uriel's odd behavior
Weematai bows slightly to Uriel.
Weematai: You may convince me that not all white men priests are filled with hate.
Uriel Iscariot Surveys the surrounding people
Uriel Iscariot: Perhaps.
Stinky Pete: checks for a demon above Uriel's head, for he's clearly possessed
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [1d6+2 = 7]
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d6 = 3]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): flaming blue skull?
Uriel Iscariot: Or perhaps it's just heretics like Zach that bring ruin to the land.
Uriel Iscariot: Taunt [1d6 = 4]
GM: Nope, Uriel does not appear to be possesed.
Weematai: I ask that you not bicker so much between yourselves, as it will only bring about sorrow in the end.
Weematai: Persuasion {+4 Charisma} [1d8+4 = 10]
GM: Smarts check Uriel.
Zach Dallas: Eh, it's all friendly banter in the end
Uriel Iscariot: Smarts [1d6 = 3]
Zach Dallas: Smarts [1d10 = 6]
GM: Uriel has been PWNED. He thinks Weematai is just the most attractive, sensible, well-spoken woman he has ever spoken with in his life.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Break his oath! Break his oath!
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): ha ha! My secret plan to roll a shammy after we are done with trains has come true! yes!
TADM: Uriel gives up the priesthood to become a Shaman with Weematai? Story at 11.
Weematai: I see, well, in that case I have misunderstood your speech. My apologies.
Uriel Iscariot: Yes Weematai. I shall bicker no more. My qualm is not with my brother Zach, but with the manitou that plague him
Weematai looks suspiciously at Zach Dallas.
Zach Dallas: And that horrible, horrible witch
Zach Dallas: anyways, are there other creatures like those Dusters?
Weematai: Yes, many.
Zach Dallas: And do they all have such a...powerful weakness?
Weematai: Some.
Weematai bows to Uriel.
Weematai: Forgive my misunderstanding of your speech, I am new to your ways and mistook your speech.
Weematai: I must commune with the spirits now.
Zach Dallas sets up a game of cards
Zach Dallas: care to play, Uriel?
Uriel Iscariot: Sure
Zach Dallas: How about you, Pete?
Stinky Pete: gets about cookin up some of this here bar. No sense her doing all the work
Weematai sits down cross-legged and begins humming and singing to the Nature Spirits.
Zach Dallas: Gambling [1d8 = 11]
Uriel Iscariot: Gambling [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 3]
Zach Dallas takes all of Uriel's posessions
[w] -> Uriel Iscariot: You are free to argue/bicker with Zach again.
Uriel Iscariot: Ugh....
Uriel Iscariot: Congrat's Mr.Dallas
Uriel Iscariot: It's your win.
Zach Dallas: Who's taking what for watch?
Stinky Pete: Survival [1d6 = 5]
Nick (Stinky Pete): fer cookin bar meat
Stinky Pete: come and get it
GM: Stinky cooks up some "bar" meat, it turns out pretty well.
Uriel Iscariot begins pre-meal prayers
Zach Dallas: I'm going to take second watch, if you guys don't mind
Zach Dallas: Pete first and Uriel third?
Uriel Iscariot: Sure.
Stinky Pete: sounds fair to me
The night passes uneventfully.
Uriel Iscariot: Hrm. The clear sky and fresh air are really refreshing.
[w] Zach Dallas: Damn, I guess I'll have to ask her while we travel
Zach Dallas: Let's head out, then
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} +2 (Novice Power Penalty -2) [1d6 = 15]
Uriel Iscariot: Drink up
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): I'm rolling a hydromancer. freak this
Zach Dallas strikes up a conversation with Weematai about the prayers she makes towards the Nature Spirits while we travel
GM: Several forest fires in the Amazon are also drenched.
Weematai is happy to talk about the spirits of the land and their interaction with the world around us.
Weematai: Tribal Medicine [1d12 = 10]
Weematai does an excellent job of describing her beliefs.
Uriel Iscariot: How can you buy or sell the sky? The Land? The earth does not belong to man, man belongs to the earth....
[w] Stinky Pete: And apparently, Uriel has been possessed by her Manitou too
Weematai: Exactly, again I find myself thinking you are very enlightened for a white man priest, Mr. Iscariot.
[w] -> Stinky Pete: Yeah, but I don't think you want to take it out of him.
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 7]
Uriel Iscariot: Why thank you
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): what is causing this behavior? Is he faking?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): also, is he possessed this time?
[w] Stinky Pete -> Zach Dallas: That's my guess
The day passes uneventfully. You have bear meat for dinner. Weematai prays to the spirits. I assume the watch goes: Stinky, Zach, Uriel.
[w] Stinky Pete -> Zach Dallas: I think he's being affected by Weematai's manitou
[w] Zach Dallas -> Stinky Pete: my guess is that he took being smitten to his heart
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): yes
Nick (Stinky Pete): si
Uriel Iscariot: I just have never been out this far west for this long. You hear about land purchases and aquisitions...but you never really understand what that means, unless you are out here.
GM: D20 [1d20 = 18]
Zach Dallas scoots away from Uriel
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): for my watch
Zach Dallas: Notice [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 11]
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 3]
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [1d6+2 = 13]
GM: [2d6 = 4]
The night passes uneventfully. The next morning the sun rises and everyone sets out. It is about noon when you reach a series of gullies. Weematai follows the trail down into one, but she is carefully looking up along the walls.
Weematai: Notice -2 Scout [1d10-2 = 5]
Stinky Pete: Problem?
Weematai: There are frequently giant worms that nest in these gullies, they can attack very quickly and without warning.
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 6]
Weematai: We are not alone in this gulley, watch the walls.
GM: Notice checks
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 3]
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [1d6+2 = 5]
Everyone except Uriel senses a vibration in the ground. A splatter of rocks shoots from the side of the canyon and four large worms burst out of the canyon walls. They are about man-sized and look very much like the critters fought in the Wasatch tunnel.
Round 1
The deck has been shuffled.
Dealing cards...
Wall Crawler #2 was dealt a Eight of Clubs.
Wall Crawler #3 was dealt a Seven of Spades.
Wall Crawler #4 was dealt a Six of Hearts.
GM: On this map, 1 square = 2.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): 2 feet?
TADM: Yes.
GM: D10 [1d10 = 3]
Weematai casts Boost Trait (Shooting) on Stinky Pete.
Weematai: Tribal Medicine [1d12 = 5]
Wall Crawler #2: D10 [1d10 = 6]
Wall Crawler #3: D10 [1d10 = 8]
Wall Crawler #4: D10 [1d10 = 4]
GM: These critters seem incredibly fast.
Stinky Pete
Zach Dallas: Please back up if you could
Nick (Stinky Pete): Firing at the top one
Stinky Pete: Shooting [1d6 = 9]
GM: That hits
Stinky Pete: Winchester '73 damage [Raise] [3d8 = 18]
GM: It explodes into a gooey mess, like someone just stepped on it.
Uriel Iscariot
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Godspeed Self
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} +2 (Seasoned Power -4) [1d10-2 = 3]
Uriel Iscariot is using a benny
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} +2 (Seasoned Power -4) [1d10-2 = 2]
Uriel Iscariot: I uhh...Um....
Zach Dallas
TADM: Uriel may convert to Shamanism just because he is clearly having trouble connecting with Allah.
TADM: Oh wait...maybe that's the problem...
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): I'd gladly convert. When god gives you lemons, you find a new god.
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting [1d10 = 8]
Zach Dallas: Blast 2 damage [2d6 = 11]
Zach Dallas: [1d6 = 1]
GM: Sigh.
Zach Dallas whistles
GM: Stupid things don't have the ability to dodge that.
Zach Dallas: Notice [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 3]
GM: Zach blows them all up.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): for other things around
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I do like the shadow dice
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): KITTY!
Nick (Stinky Pete): gives 1 benny to Zach and Weematai, and my donation benny to Uriel, since he clearly needs it
The rest of the day passes uneventully.
'Nick' disconnected
Uriel Iscariot: Hrm. I don't suppose those too, are a recent phenomenon?
That evening passes uneventfully as well. By Weematai's count you have seven days before you reach the Iron Dragon railhead at Lion's Roar.
Weematai: They appeared sometime after the great Quake, but the elders speak of them from ancient stories also.
Zach Dallas strikes up a conversation with Weematai about the different ways that Nature Spirits can manifest
Uriel Iscariot: Hrm. Interesting.
GM: D20 [1d20 = 1]
Zach Dallas: are they the source of these large insects? Giant snakes? etc
GM: [2d4 = 5]
GM: D6 [1d6 = 2]
Weematai: Some creatures are merely large, some are evil, like the rabbits from a few nights ago. The large insects may simply have awoken from hibernation when the quake happened.
Uriel Iscariot: Interesting...
Zach Dallas: OK
Zach Dallas: I'll have to look into that one later
Uriel Iscariot: So many lack faces, so many lack voices. Can they be of Lilith, or....
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 6]
Zach Dallas: Are you OK?
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 3]
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): LOL 3 is like a constant here.
Uriel Iscariot: Yes. Of course Zach.
Uriel Iscariot: I am just a tad....bedazzled at all of these strange creatures.
Uriel Iscariot: I mean, all the demons we had fought seemed normal in retrospect. Easy to understand why they are here, where the come from.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): ??
Zach Dallas: Really, I'd say those are harder to understand than some of these critters
It is about noon the next day when you see a group of five men wearing red robes. They are heavily armed and walking down the trail towards the group.
Zach Dallas: Common Knowledge [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 5]
Uriel Iscariot: Kn Occult {+2 Honey Vial} [1d6+2 = 12]
Weematai: All this talk of demons is bizarre to me. What are these demons you speak of?
Uriel Iscariot: And there you go, Mr. Dallas.
Zach and Uriel recognize these guys as belonging to the church of Lost Angels, they are "Guardian Angels."
Zach Dallas: Basically...oh dear
Zach Dallas: Let's keep out of the way from these folk
[w] -> Uriel Iscariot: You notice that these guys have red robes with no trim, marking them as the lowest rung of the ladder so to speak. Basically, legalized gun-slinging thugs.
Weematai: Are these people not priests like Uriel? They dress much the same and talk of the same God and so forth?
TADM: And here is where Weematai's Hindrances become cute and hilarious.
Uriel Iscariot: No...we should hide. Nature will take care of these brutes for us.
Guardian Angel: Notice [1d8 = 9]
Zach Dallas: Remember how you said that you were surprised at how nice and forgiving Uriel was earlier?
GM: Okay, commence hiding. (Stealth rolls)
Weematai: Yes.
Zach Dallas: These guys are the opposite
Weematai: Stealth {+2 Woodsman} [1d8+2 = 15]
Zach Dallas: Stealth {--2 Untrained:Mike} [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6-2 = 1]
Zach Dallas is using a benny
Zach Dallas: Stealth {--2 Untrained:Mike} [1d4-2 = 0]
Zach Dallas: Agility [1d6-2 = 2]
Uriel Iscariot: [1d4 = 3]
Uriel Iscariot: [1d6 = 4]
Weematai aces her roll and somehow seems to turn into a small shrub by the side of the road. Zach and Uriel stand near the shrub, looking confused as to what this "stealth" thing is.
GM: The Guardian Angels draw their weapons and look at Zach and Uriel suspiciously.
Zach Dallas puts his hands in the air
Guardian Angel: Hello travelers, what brings you out into the hinterlands?
Uriel Iscariot: Kn Occult {+2 Honey Vial} +2 (No training! -2) [1d6 = 2]
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Was going to be for proper greeting amongst people of that chruch
Guardian Angel #2: Perhaps you have not heard about the truth and the light of the Lord!
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): oh, great...
Uriel Iscariot: Greetings, Proud Angels of Reverend Grimme. I have indeed come on a pilgrimage of sorts,
Uriel Iscariot: I came to the City of Lost Angels, and a terrible trumpet sounded, and suddenly I was blinded
Uriel Iscariot: Before I knew it, I was lost in the wilderness
Guardian Angel #2: That is horrible. Well, the Lord himself wandered in the desert for forty days, perhaps a similar trial shall lead you to Him.
Uriel Iscariot: Kn Bible [1d6 = 14]
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU And I FINALLY have a good blooper reel.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol
TADM: LOL
Guardian Angel: In the meantime, you need to pay the trail tax for all our hard work of keeping the roads safe for travelers.
Guardian Angel: That would be four bits for both of you.
Uriel Iscariot: .....Trail Tax?
Zach Dallas: ....Bits?
Guardian Angel: Or a dollar total, payable in Gold, Ghost Rock, Union or Confederate coin.
Zach Dallas: Notice [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 5]
Guardian Angel #2: Or a suitable donation of food.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): are any of them wild cards?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Hey, you can do water, can't you?
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): they has savage joker as pic....so...
TADM: Well, not that you could really tell that from a Notice check, but you get the feeling they are not.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): but none have names...
Uriel Iscariot: I have no mana or coin to pay thee. I had given all on my journey, as if I was trying to purchase one pearl with all of my wealth.
Uriel Iscariot: I can but offer you a token of my faith, that you shall not thirst for salvation from the sun
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} +2 (Novice Power Penalty -2) [1d10 = 6]
Guardian Angel #2: Well, that is a sufficient sign of your Blessed state. We thank you for the water.
The Angels collect the water and head off down the trail.
Uriel Iscariot: Kn Bible [1d6 = 4]
Weematai: Umm...they did not seem that bad.
Zach Dallas: No, but that's mostly because Uriel is quite good at handling those situations
Zach Dallas: They're...not very accepting towards other beliefs
Zach Dallas: And by "They" I mean people from the City of Lost Angels
Weematai: I see.
Uriel Iscariot: But they were. They spew forth a twisted doctrine of hate and malice, and seed the land only with destructive settlements. I can no longer hear my ancestors murmuring through the placid waters of the rivers, nor see brother eagle flying overhead...they are a cancer to the land.
Weematai: Umm...are you sure you are a priest of the White Man God?
Uriel Iscariot: Deny their prophet, and you shalt live no more.
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d6 = 4]
Weematai: If you are, you are the strangest one I have ever met.
Uriel Iscariot: Sages call it by many names, but true wisdom is one.
Zach Dallas: Um, that sounded borderline blasphemous...
Weematai looks incredibly confused.
Uriel Iscariot: Says the blasphemer of the century... (facepalms)
Weematai heads off back north again.
Zach Dallas: follows
Uriel Iscariot follow
The next few days pass uneventfully, and the group makes it to the Iron Dragon railhead without further incident.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I agree
The "town" of Lion's Roar can be seen nearby, a huge collection of sanpans, trolleys, carts, wagons, a large Iron Dragon rail station, and the largest collection of people you have seen outside Salt Lake City, Lost Angels, or Denver.
Weematai: These Chinamen are not friendly to white men, and only occasionally friendly to my people. But they run business and listen to white man money and precious rocks.
TADM: And we will pick up next time with the group arriving in Lion's Roar.
Campaign saved.
