Savage Worlds Ruleset for Fantasy Grounds II
(c) 2009 Pinnacle Entertainment Group.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Whee! How we all doin?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Doin' quite well, actually, how 'bout yerself, Shaman boy?
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): I ain't no shammy!
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Yer headin' that way awfully fast
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): oh hai there
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): So we made it to a rail station? yay!
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): So, we can either take the train and ditch Tack's love interest, or walk and keep her. I suppose we could also get horses, though
TADM: Well, technically no one has asked Weematai if she objects to riding on a train.
Uriel Iscariot: Hey! Look! A train station!
Uriel Iscariot: We made it! Deliverance!
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): but....she's a shamn
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I didn't think they could ride on trains...
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): all my expectations would be shattered with this one plot twist...
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Maybe we could "train" her?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): =)
GM: You have indeed reached the Iron Dragon railhead outside the multicolored crazy tent city known as "Lion's Roar."
GM: Lion's Roar is actually situated on a tall outcropping of rock in a water channel away from the mainland, there are numerous rope bridges leading across to it, as well as several trails that lead down to "The Maze" where you can take a boat across and then take a trail up to the top of the plateau.
Zach Dallas: The first step of the journey is complete
Uriel Iscariot: Hrm...Interesting place.
GM: A quick glance at the brightly colored sanpans, garish banners, and general physical appearance tells you that -ye three white men- comprise about 1% of the population around here. In fact, unless someone knows Cantonese or Mandarin, you probably can't understand a word being said.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): wait, so white men comprise of 1%, right? What about Native Americans?
Street Vendor: Good dogs! Hot and juicy!
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I know better ooc than to take them up on that offer
Uriel Iscariot: Hey! Ill take two. how much you charging?
TADM: Weematai's arrival has probably increased the local Native American population by a large percent, as in it just went from 9 to 10.
Uriel Iscariot: How much good sir?
Street Vendor: $2 each, special Gaijin discount.
Street Vendor smiles widely.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): wait, $.15=1lb of bacon
Uriel Iscariot: Smarts [1d6 = 3]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): DON'T DO IT
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): To try to determine language.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): THINK OF THE BACON
Zach Dallas: I could kill myself by buying $2 of bacon
Small Chinese Girl: Rover...where are you Rover...come home....
Zach Dallas: That's over 10lb
Small Chinese Girl wanders by looking very sad about missing dog.
Zach Dallas: Guts {+4 Veteran/True Grit} [1d4+4 = 6]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): glad to see I started this off with a steller roll
Nick (Stinky Pete): mia brb
Zach Dallas: So, do you speak Chinese?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): to Uriel
Uriel Iscariot: I speak all the tongues of man, those remembered, and those no longer remembered.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): So the guy is selling the Dogs live for 2$?
GM: Nope, they are cooked and ready for consumption.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Dog-gone it!
Uriel Iscariot: Weematai, what do you know of this place?
Zach Dallas: Common Knowledge [1d6 = 7]
GM: Zach seems a bit queasy about the whole "cooked dogs" thing and gets a -1 to all rolls for the next 24 hours of game time.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): fear level?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): NANI?!
Weematai: It is a place inhabited by the men from across the great blue. It is run by a wicked woman who serves the Great Father of Iron Dragons. They are not welcoming of those who do not speak the language or are different from them.
Uriel Iscariot: Hrm.
Zach Dallas: Great Father of Iron Dragons?
Uriel Iscariot: Smarts [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 9]
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Common.....knowlege.....curses...
Uriel Iscariot: Is that what they call trains? Iron Dragons?
"Great Father of Iron Dragons" is probably Warlord Kang, a powerful Chinese Immigrant and one of the major Rail Barons.
Weematai: You can get on the steel carriage here and take it to Shan Fan without going into the town though.
Uriel Iscariot: I would think such a course of action would be most wise.
Zach Dallas: Are you coming with us?
Uriel Iscariot: Persuasion [1d6 = 10]
Uriel Iscariot: You are, aren't thee?
Weematai: The Nature Spirits are offended by the steel carriage, but I have ridden on them before. They are confining and unnatural, but I think the need is greater than my opinions.
TADM: Yes, it is another female NPC with "Claustrophobia" as a Hindrance.
Uriel Iscariot: What is so offensive about them?
Zach Dallas: Well, they're hardly NATURAL, so it's NATURAL that NATURE spirits don't like them
Uriel Iscariot: After all, coal and ghost rock are all perfectly natural elements, right?
Zach Dallas: Yes, but giant metal boxes that burn such things to cause motion are not
Zach Dallas: er, I think. I've seen some weird things, though
Weematai: The Nature Spirits tell me that Ghost Rock is no more natural than manitous.
Uriel Iscariot: Okay...so what about coal?
Uriel Iscariot: That has to be natural.
Zach Dallas: Huh? I thought Manitou were natural, albeit in the same way as forest fires and viruses
Weematai: Manitous and Ghost Rock are natural and come from the same source.
Weematai: The Nature Spirits tell me that coal is the remains of long dead animals.
Uriel Iscariot: Wait....Ghost rock is evil?
Weematai looks surprised.
Weematai: You didn't know that?
TADM: This would be a great conversation if MacVellian was around.
Uriel Iscariot: I had always figured the people using it were evil....
Uriel Iscariot: Ah well. Now we know.
Nick (Stinky Pete): And knowing is half the battle
TADM: The other half is running in terror. Or red lasers and blue lasers, depends on the t-shirt.
Uriel Iscariot: Okay, well...this place un-nerves me. Thank you for being flexible, Weematai. Lets get some tickets.
Street Vendor: So, you want dog or not?
Zach Dallas: We will pass
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} [1d6+2 = 13]
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Lets go Mandarin.
Street Vendor: Fine, stupid Gaijin.
Nick (Stinky Pete): These are not the dogs you're looking for
Uriel Iscariot: mood Mandarin Ni-hao, Where did you find those dogs?
Uriel Iscariot (moody): lol
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol
GM: Uriel now speaks perfect Mandarin. Too bad this guy speaks Cantonese.
Uriel Iscariot (Mandarin): Hey what'ssa matter wif dis git? Where did he get deese dawhgs from?
Street Vendor walks off to sell dogs to other people.
Weematai looks nervous as she realizes you have attracted a large crowd while standing next to the street vendor. Not all of them look friendly.
Uriel Iscariot (Mandarin): Hey guys. =)
Uriel Iscariot (Mandarin): What seems to be the problem?
Kang Maze Rat (Mandarin): Hello White Men. You speak Mandarin, that is good. You come to sell pretty Injun to us?
Kang Maze Rat (Mandarin): She fetch good price, nice hair, good thighs.
Zach Dallas: Smarts [1d6 = 5]
Weematai: I'm thinking I don't want to ask for a translation. I know what that stare means.
Uriel Iscariot (Mandarin): No I'm with Immigration. I work on Angel Island, and we are looking for some escapees. Think you could help?
TADM: The question is, which is more reliable, Uriel or Fade?
Nick (Stinky Pete): Neither
Kang Maze Rat (Mandarin): No, but you have choice of paying transit tax or giving us pretty Injun. She can't mean that much to you, she is just an Injun.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I wish I could speak Mandarin :(
Zach Dallas: C'mon, Preacher, let's get moving
Kang Maze Rat (Mandarin): We see how White Men treat Injuns, unless you have fondness for her because she has nice breasts, big one compared to China-woman.
Zach Dallas: We've got places to go, time to kill
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): have they completely encircled us?
Weematai self-consciously grips neckline and closes blouse tighter.
Uriel Iscariot (Mandarin): Ok whats the transit Tax?
There is a group of about 15 of them, they form a loose circle around you.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): hey, guys, what's your toughness?
Kang Maze Rat (Mandarin): I think today it is five dollars, payable in ghost rock or gold.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I'm guessing they've probably got a 5, but a Blast will kill them
Zach Dallas shuffles cards
Nick (Stinky Pete): How much is one of my gems worth?
GM: Smarts check Nick.
Stinky Pete: Smarts [1d6 = 9]
Nick (Stinky Pete): crap. be kinda hard to get change for that :(
Zach Dallas: Preacher, what's up?
Uriel Iscariot (Mandarin): How bout I just stay quiet about your opium smuggling and we all walk away happy?
Kang Maze Rat LOL LOL LOL
Kang Maze Rat (Mandarin): Opium is not illegal here, silly man.
Zach Dallas: Notice [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 4]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): are they armed?
They are armed with a variety of sharp pointy things, you do not see any firearms.
Nick (Stinky Pete): probably. might be one in the group named stumpy who isn't
Zach Dallas slips his cards into a pocket
TADM: No one named Stumpy, but there is one named "Hobbles" who moves at 1/2 pace.
Zach Dallas puts his hands on his hips, one by each pistol
Uriel Iscariot (Mandarin): are you SURE you want to impose undue tariffs on some friendly travellers?
TADM: Intimidate check?
Stinky Pete: Look we don't need to fight. And despite her being an Injun, we've grown to appreciate her presence
Uriel Iscariot: Agility [1d4 = 3]
Zach Dallas: Let's get going. We're wasting time
Zach Dallas heads out through the Chinamen
Uriel Iscariot Maintains careful watch over what they do or do not do as Zach attepts to leave the premises.
Stinky Pete stays close to Weematai, in case trouble is afoot. Except from Hobbles, probably
Kang Maze Rat draws knife and assumes martial-arts fighting stance.
Nick (Stinky Pete): Oh. That's not good.
Kang Maze Rat (English): You pay tax, and I shank you and leave your corpse to rot. $5
Zach Dallas: So you're telling me to pay you for shanking me?
Kang Maze Rat (English): You making fun my bad English?
Nick (Stinky Pete): No. We make fun of good Engrish
TADM: That or he meant exactly what he said, take your pick. =)
Zach Dallas: and is an important word, especially when you mix it up with "or"
Kang Maze Rat decides that he meant "and" and shanks Zach Dallas.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): If I have an action available, I would like to put a barrier between the mob and Weematai.
Zach Dallas: Common Knowledge [1d6 = 11]
Round 1
The deck has been shuffled.
Dealing cards...
[w] Zach Dallas: will the Railroad guys actually care at all if we kill these mooks?
[w] Zach Dallas: eg will we still be able to take the train?
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Well, since Iron Dragon is owned by Kang, and Lion's Roar is owned by Kang, and probably everyone you meet who is Chinese between here and Shan Fan works for Kang. I'll let you decide...
Maze Rat: Fighting [1d6 = 4]
Maze Rat: Cutlass damage [2d6 = 7]
Uriel Iscariot: Ladies and Gentlemen.....we should abstain from unwarranted violence here. We don't want permanent enemies.
The Maze Rat viciously swipes at Zach Dallas. The rest of them seem to adopt a "wait and see" approach to what everyone else is doing.
Uriel Iscariot
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): godspeed self
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} +2 (Seasoned Power -4) [1d10-2 = 2]
Uriel Iscariot is using a benny
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} +2 (Seasoned Power -4) [1d10-2 = 4]
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Taunt on the Maze Rat.
Uriel Iscariot: Taunt [1d6 = 16]
Maze Rat: Smarts [1d4 = 3]
Uriel Iscariot: Back to the kitchen, cross-eye! You couldn't cut a person like that.
The Maze Rat is so terrified of Uriel's verbal onslaught that he drops his sword and looks dumbfounded. The other Maze Rats applaud Uriel's bravado.
Zach Dallas
GM: Spirit check to recover from Shaken
Zach Dallas: Spirit [1d8 = 17]
GM: All righty...you recover from the Shaken effect, can act normally, and the other Maze Rats are in awe of your survival skills.
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 11]
Maze Rat (Engrish): Here, we no mean offense, me give you $5 each and free ticket on train.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Where is the station\Is Weematai still with us
Zach Dallas: Thank you.
Maze Rat hands over four Iron Dragon tickets and $20.
Uriel Iscariot: Why thank you! What a bunch of reasonable, polite and industrious people you are. I wish you good fortune.
The group of Maze Rats warily back away, obviously worried about further offending the ass-kickers in front of them.
Weematai looks at the group with big doe eyes, has that "groupie at Rock concert" stare.
Stinky Pete: Gives back the $5 he gave me.
TADM: No Dave, tears of joy do not shoot sideways from her eyes.
Uriel Iscariot: Strange, Weematai. You seem very adept at surviving around wildlife...
Stinky Pete: You keep it. We didn't mean to cause any trouble
Maze Rat (English): Thank you, no offense.
Maze Rat bows before the group like he is prostrasting before royalty.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): "We didn't mean to cause any trouble" (lol)
Weematai: Wildlife is much more understandable.
Weematai: Can we get on the Steel carriage before another group tries to buy me into slavery?
Uriel Iscariot: Yes. Let us make haste.
Zach Dallas: Definitely
Weematai: Or prostitution, or whatever those lecherous gazes meant.
Stinky Pete: Probably both
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): that's quite the vocabulary for the innocent Weematai
GM: The group gets on the Iron Dragon train heading north. The fare would have normally been $12/each, lucky you.
Uriel Iscariot: The same wind that is a baby's first breath also receives an old man's dying sigh - Can you invoke the windspirits to translate and speak for thee?
Weematai: Huh?
Zach Dallas: Huh?
Uriel Iscariot: I fear Language may be an issue, can you invoke the nature spirits to help you understand people?
Weematai: Umm...I can try.
Uriel Iscariot: Theres only two languages we should have to worry about is all. And I can only do one at a time.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): ffw
Weematai: Umm...okay.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): ffw
Nick (Stinky Pete): ffw
The train heads north to Shannonsburg. It is a stopover point to resupply the ghost rock boiler and check the train. The trip there is pretty uneventful. Shannonsburg itself is an interesting town. It has a couple thousand residents, a regiment of CSA regulars, and the Dixie Flag flies proudly all over the place. The conductor tells everyone to get off the train and stretch their legs, it is a two hour stopover. An Iron Dragon cleaning crew comes on board to clean once the passengers have disembarked.
Zach Dallas: Common Knowledge [1d10 = 9]
You see an Iron Dragon representative speaking with a Dixie Rails and CSA official at the train station.
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 8]
Shannonsburg is the CSA "capital" of California and under the direct military control of Admiral Allen Birmingham. It is also the home of the CSA Navy Pacific Fleet.
Zach Dallas: Notice [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 2]
You have heard that prices in Shannonsburg are cheaper than anywhere else in California, the CSA intentionally keeps them low as a PR campaign.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Streak is 2
[w] -> Uriel Iscariot: When you get off the train and stand on the station docks, you see a group of wanted posters on the side of the station. Zach Dallas' is immediately recognizable among them, with the caption, "Wanted: Alive $1000." You spot a Texas Ranger who was "snoozing" in a chair get up and walk towards the town Sherrif's office as soon as Zach gets off the train.
GM: Weematai: Notice [1d10 = 7]
[w] Uriel Iscariot: GM does it mention the crime?
[w] -> Uriel Iscariot: Theft and cheating at cards, possibly consorting with the forces of Darkness.
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6+2 = 18]
[w] -> Stinky Pete: Pete When you get off the train and stand on the station docks, you see a group of wanted posters on the side of the station. Zach Dallas' is immediately recognizable among them, with the caption, "Wanted: Alive $1000." You spot a Texas Ranger who was "snoozing" in a chair get up and walk towards the town Sherrif's office as soon as Zach gets off the train.
TADM: Wait for it.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): why am I in the dark T.T
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): What'd Weematai get on her Notice roll?
Nick (Stinky Pete): lol
TADM: Because this one time, it is REALLY damn hilarious for YOU to be the one in the dark.
TADM: And the DICE said so.
Zach Dallas pops his collar and tilts his hat down
Uriel Iscariot: Hrm....So Weematai, If i wanted to get some nice clothes like an indian brave, where would I get them in this town, and oh, within about 15 minutes?
Zach Dallas: Hm?
Weematai: Umm...I do not know. I'm thinking that they could not be found here.
Weematai: This is where the people who dress in grey live.
Uriel Iscariot: I see. Hrm....
Zach Dallas: Why would you ask that?
Zach Dallas: What's up?
[w] Stinky Pete: I start gradually moving out of Zach's immediate vicinity, slow enough that he doesn't get suspicious
Uriel Iscariot: You need a change of clothes. Fast. Thats why.
[w] -> Stinky Pete: Okay.
Zach Dallas sighs
Zach Dallas: That's rather unfortunate
Zach Dallas: Do you have a spare set?
Zach Dallas: (I'm not wearing Pete's)
Zach Dallas: (nor Weematai's)
TADM: Weematai's not your size.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): that's only a small portion of the problem
Zach Dallas: So, why do I need a change of clothes?
[w] Uriel Iscariot: Gm is it a PHOTOGRAPH wanted poster, or a sketch?
Weematai: I'll be back in a bit, I want to get away from all this noise and pollution and talk with the Spirits.
Zach Dallas glances nervously at the CSA guys
[w] -> Uriel Iscariot: sketch, but a really damn good one.
[w] -> Uriel Iscariot: Crafted from a spell via Hunch Qualiy in your un-educated opinion.
Stinky Pete says "They're the least of your problems" from the next block over
Weematai walks off, whistling to herself.
Stinky Pete continues to increase the distance between Pete and Zach
Uriel Iscariot: Okay. Heres what we are going to do.
Uriel Iscariot: Look over there. Discreetly.
TADM: I smell a Hemp party in the near future! Let me look up the rules for hanging.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): really?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): REALLY?
TADM: No, but it sounded good.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I was going to say, that was not in the description of the Hindrance
Zach Dallas *sighs*
Zach Dallas: Well, I guess I'll have to meet you guys farther north or something. I'll see if I can grab Weematai and take off farther North
Zach Dallas: Common Knowledge [1d10 = 11]
Uriel Iscariot: Here, take my Fedora and A Cigar. Then, take the butt off of it and use the ash to smudge up your face.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): where does CSA hold its power?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): in other words, how far will they chase me and where else are they in control?
Stinky Pete wanders around town. FAR away from Zach, but still looking for anything useful
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): and why do they have a description of me here and now?
The CSA's control of California extends for about 100 miles from Shannonsburg in every direction, and that's about it.
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [1d6+2 = 7]
[w] -> Stinky Pete: You see a posse gathering outside the sherriff's office. They are armed and ready to shoot for "non-vital" parts.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): do we have a map of the train's restocking locations?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): or do we know?
[w] -> Stinky Pete: Pete Aside from that, this is a nice well-ordered town, lots of prospectors to speak with.
GM: The next station would be Dragon's Breath.
Zach Dallas: here, take my money
Zach Dallas hands $210 to Uriel
Zach Dallas: Don't lose it, but you can spend it to save me if need be
Zach Dallas: I'll owe you one
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d6 = 4]
An armed posse shows up at the train station, led by a Texas Ranger. They move to surround the exits and prevent Zach Dallas' departure.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Well well well, ta think a nice payday'd just wander on in to town and step off the train.
Zach Dallas: Common Knowledge [1d10 = 11]
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Zach Dallas, yer under arrest.
GM: The Texas Ranger definitely is the top of the police-authority chain here.
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [1d6 = 3]
Zach Dallas: Stealth {--2 Untrained:Mike} [1d4-2 = 1]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): CURSE YOU DICE!
Zach Dallas: Oh, dear
One of the posse brings over a Wanted poster showing an incredible likeness to Zach Dallas. Almost like someone drafted it from memory using some sort of Hucksterish ability.
GM: The posse is eight people plus the Texas Ranger.
[w] Zach Dallas: damn you for using my favorite trick against me
Uriel Iscariot: Hey. Let me see that poster. I think you have the wrong man.
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Yep, NPCs can Hunch too.
Zach Dallas: Well, we might try the ring. They say that Texas Ranger's are sometimes cooperative
Gullible Posse Tool: Sure thing mister.
Gullible Posse Tool hands Uriel the Wanted poster.
Zach Dallas: but I think that might be after I get caught, and I don't know if it'll be good enough
Uriel Iscariot: Kn Occult {+2 Honey Vial} [1d6+2 = 6]
Uriel Iscariot: Yep, It is as I thought.
Uriel Iscariot: shows the ring.
Uriel Iscariot: to the texas ranger.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Umm???
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Well, in any case come with me. Both of you.
Uriel Iscariot: Sure. I would not think of interfering with law enforcement.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston gestures for you to follow him, the posse closes in around you.
Zach Dallas follows along
Stinky Pete keeps wandering around town, figuring I'll meet a few new PCs shortly
Uriel Iscariot Makes no quick movements while following the Ranger.
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 5]
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Where is he leading us to
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 10]
Texas Ranger Allan Winston takes you into the CSA jail. The posse takes up position outside of the jail.
Uriel Iscariot: So..Yes. As I was saying, I have been tracking this work for quite some time. This poster was not made by human hands.
Uriel Iscariot: And the "Authority" Issuing it is equally dubious.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston looks angrily at Uriel.
TADM: Back to Nick's theory that new PCs might be imminent.
Zach Dallas kicks Uriel, if he's in a position to do so
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Yeah, wasn't made by human hands exactly. It was drawn by a CSA Criminologist, happens to possess the uncanny ability to draw perfect images of criminals from the victim's minds.
Zach Dallas: I know what you mean...
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: And the "Authority" is the CSA, which at this moment is a tad more temporally powerful than God Almighty here, priest.
Uriel Iscariot: Let it be on Earth as it is in Heaven - there is no higher authority.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: God created Man. Sam Colt made all men equal.
Zach Dallas laughs
Texas Ranger Allan Winston holds out his hand like he is expecting you to hand over something...maybe a ring?
[w] Zach Dallas: I take it he confiscated my guns. How many of my knives did he find?
[w] -> Zach Dallas: So far he has not confiscated anything.
[w] Zach Dallas: oh
Uriel Iscariot: Hands over a cigar.
Zach Dallas kicks Uriel
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Nice.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston leans back and lights it.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Now, I was thinking of letting you go. But since the Priest here seems to have an attitude disorder, I think a night in jail will do you good. Clear the head.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): good thing that wasn't one of the cigars with Ghost Rock in it
Stinky Pete: Bullets are a good way to clear the head, too
TADM: Yeah, then he'd have to use a benny.
Zach Dallas kidney punches Uriel
Zach Dallas: Fighting [1d4 = 3]
Zach Dallas: unsuccessfully
Uriel Iscariot: Agility [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 3]
Zach Dallas or not
Uriel Iscariot: Ow!
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Hey, Mickey, confiscate the weapons from these two and throw them in cell #1.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: I need to confirm that this 'ere varmint is Zach Dallas.
Uriel Iscariot: (POLL) No,
Texas Ranger Allan Winston points at Zach.
Uriel Iscariot: DO we have to? Why would you lock up a perfectly harmless shepherd of the lord?
Uriel Iscariot: Persuasion [1d8 = 7]
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Spirit [1d6 = 10]
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Because in my experience, the "holier" the Shepherd, the farther he has fallen. Which means you probably are guilty of murder, cattle rustling, and pedophilia.
Zach Dallas: Pick two
TADM: In other words, he was not persuaded.
Uriel Iscariot: Those are all excusable crimes! you act like I ordained a woman as a priest or something!
A couple deputies come over, one keeps a shotgun trained on you while the other "pats" you down and confiscates your weapons.
GM: Stealth check for anything you want to keep.
Deputy: Notice [1d8 = 3]
Uriel Iscariot: Agility [1d6 = 11]
Zach Dallas: Agility [1d10 = 8]
Zach Dallas: Stealth {--2 Untrained:Mike} [1d4-2 = 1]
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Keeping Zach's cash.
[w] -> Uriel Iscariot: You keep your knife.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: And take their boots, I get the feeling Zach Dallas likes to keep some "tools" in his shoes.
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Damn him for being a D10 in Smarts. HAHAHA.
[w] -> Stinky Pete: Anything you would like to be doing at the time.
[w] Zach Dallas: YOU YOU YOU
Nick (Stinky Pete): The only time there's a tool in his shoes is when he's wearing them
Zach Dallas: Can I at least keep a set of cards?
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [1d6 = 4]
Texas Ranger Allan Winston laughs.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Nope, slap him in cuffs, then put some of those Chinaman finger cuffs on each of his fingers also.
[w] Stinky Pete: Nope. I'm good. Though, I probably should go find Weematai
[w] -> Zach Dallas: And damn him for being a Huckster Texas Ranger. =)
Zach Dallas facepalms before he can't anymore
Zach Dallas: Stealth {--2 Untrained:Mike} [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6-2 = 3]
The shoeless, cuffed and manacled Zach Dallas is led into a cell. Uriel is stuck in the same cell with him.
Zach Dallas: I hate you
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: You boys have a good day.
Uriel Iscariot: Uriel decides that the logo of Mr. Winston is "No Bull" and decides to cooperate before angering him more.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston smiles.
Zach Dallas was directing that at Uriel
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: I'll let you know what I find out in the morning.
Uriel Iscariot: Hate the sin, not the sinner.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston walks off, chuckling.
Zach Dallas: You are a sin
GM: Meanwhile...over in Stinky Pete's part of the world...
Uriel Iscariot: Wait what? How?
Prospector: Yeah, they had another big strike over in Quarrytown.
Prospector looks at Pete.
Prospector: Hey there, you looking fer a gud job? The CSA is looking for strong backs in Quarrytown, gud pay.
Stinky Pete: Meh, I think I'm good for a while. I'll keep it in mind, though
Prospector is clearly partially inebriated.
Prospector: Yeah, ya do that. If'n ya get there, mention that I's recommended ya, name's Blane.
Prospector belches loudly and scratches sagging gut.
Townsfolk: Hey guys, I saw some Injun up in the hills! They might be gettin' ready to raid the supply caravan!
Townsfolk: Someone go get the Major. Tell him to get the soldiers!
Townsfolk: I only saw one, but where there's one Injun, there's also a dozen more hiding!
More Townsfolk: Get a rope! We hang that one the rest will leave!
Stinky Pete: Well, I guess I know where I'm heading.
Stinky Pete heads toward the hills without drawing too much attention
Prospector: What? Injuns! Eek!!
Prospector tries to crawl under the floorboards of the nearest building.
Even More Townsfolk: Oh my god! The Injuns are comin! They is gonna kill us all!
Pitchfork Wielding Townsfolk: I bet that guy the posse took in the jail riled up them Injun's against us! We should string him up too!
Townsfolk: Hey ya! He's probably a bluebelly anyway. Didn't ya hear his accent?
Even More Townsfolk: Get more rope!
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): lol
GM: The Iron Dragon locomotive prepares to leave town, chugging away as it heads north. If only the party was on it...
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): I blame Zach Dallas
[w] -> Stinky Pete: You head out into the hills, Notice or Tracking check
Stinky Pete: Tracking [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 2]
Stinky Pete is using a benny
Stinky Pete: Tracking [1d6 = 5]
Nick (Stinky Pete): just for curiousity's sake
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [1d6+2 = 6]
[w] -> Stinky Pete: Weematai evidently went out into the hills, prayed for a while, then went back into town. It looks like she got back on the train that is leaving town. If you hurry you could probably catch it.
Stinky Pete runs like my life depends on it!
[w] -> Stinky Pete: You make the train. Weematai is on board, looking confused that Zach and Uriel are missing.
Stinky Pete: So, yeah, they wuz captured, I reckon. There was a wanted poster for Zach and everythang!
Weematai: That is unfortunate. What do we do? I am worried that they missed the train.
Weematai looks out window wistfully at rapidly passing trees.
TADM: OMG. The GM SPLIT the party!
TADM: I blame Tack.
TADM: And Zach Dallas.
Zach Dallas: I blame URIEL entirely
Zach Dallas kicks Uriel
Stinky Pete: I'm pretty sure they didn't make it. Well, we could either go back at the next station, or continue on with our mission. (Which, I can't recall at the moment)
Weematai: Umm...I don't know what the mission is either. I was traveling with the three of you.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): too bad you can't without that ring that TACK has!
Random Passenger looks in awe that Stinky Pete has hooked up with such a HAWT Native American.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): It is my fate alone to be ringbearer. You just don't understand.
TADM: Bad Uriel, no biscuit.
Stinky Pete: Guess we should head back, then
Townsfolk rushes off into the hills, looking for "Injuns" to hang.
Pitchfork Wielding Townsfolk follows other Townsfolk.
More Townsfolk runs off to jail to demand the immediate hanging of them damn Northerners.
Even More Townsfolk goes to get extra rope for hanging of said Northerners.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): damn townsfolk
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Well, if this'n ain't a sticky wicket.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): too bad Tack's in jail, he's great at killing large numbers of innocent NPCs
Weematai: What does this emergency cord do?
Stinky Pete: Though, maybe you should go on ahead. The DM seems to be walking a strange tight rope at the moment
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): PULL IT!
Stinky Pete: Noooooooo
Weematai: Are we having an emergency that would permit pulling it?
Zach Dallas uses PSYCHIC message: PULL IT
Weematai: We are only a few miles from town, perhaps they can turn around the Steel carriage?
Stinky Pete: Um, steel horses only go in one direction. We'd have to walk back
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Now folk, there be no call for hangin' folk. I can guarantee that these bluebelly scum didn't rile up no Injuns. Don't ya'all know that bluebellies are more scared of Injuns than they are us?
Townsfolk: Hey, he's right!
Even More Townsfolk: Yeah!
More Townsfolk: Aww...damn Ranger, how come you be all smart and stuff?
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Jes' pointin' out the obvious. 'sides, if'n ya'all talked to these bluebellies we put in jail, ya'all'd see that the likelihood of an Injun helpin' them out is about the same as Abraham Lincoln walkin' up 'ere right now and shakin' my hand.
Townsfolk disperse because the Ranger has outsmarted their urge to hang people with a northern accent.
Pitchfork Wielding Townsfolk sighs and wanders off.
Weematai: What do you mean they only go in one direction? That seems very inefficient of them.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol
Weematai: These white man devices are very weird. Why don't you all just ride horses instead?
Uriel Iscariot patiently waits in the cell.
Stinky Pete: These can go much faster and farther than horses.
GM: There is a Gideon's copy of the Bible in the jail with you.
Stinky Pete: Anyway, we could just jump off the train. It's not going too fast at the moment
Weematai: Okay.
Stinky Pete: But, I don't want to deprive the DM of his fun (as long as I can use my nom nom benny on Weematai)
Weematai walks over to exit, opens door and jumps out.
Uriel Iscariot: eyeroll
Stinky Pete follows weematai
Stinky Pete: Agility [1d8 = 6]
Stinky Pete is using a benny
Zach Dallas uses PSYCHIC message DON'T JUMP
Stinky Pete: Agility [1d6 = 5]
Zach Dallas: Smarts [1d10 = 4]
Stinky Pete is using a benny
Stinky Pete: Agility [1d8 = 6]
GM: [2d10 = 15]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): over
Stinky Pete jumps off the train and sails right past Weematai, who seems to be hovering right next to the train door. Needless to say, this causes a lot of gasps of shock from the passengers on the train.
Weematai: Agility [1d6 = 4]
Nick (Stinky Pete): cheater
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): ROFL
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): LOL
Weematai grabs Stinky Pete as he flies past her and manages to break his fall enough that he manages to not explode on impact.
Weematai: Umm...
Stinky Pete: You coulda warned me that you could do that
Weematai: Does that mean you can't? I guess not.
Weematai looks confused as she realizes that Stinky Pete probably just tried to commit suicide and she interrupted him.
Weematai: I assumed you could because you said we could just get off the train.
Stinky Pete has been awarded a benny
TADM: I give Nick a benny for the humor value of this scene. =)
Weematai: Tribal Medicine [1d12 = 11]
Stinky Pete: I didn't realize the exact circumstances. Plus, I said you could pull the cord
Weematai: Oh, I was just too excited to get off the train.
Nick (Stinky Pete): You know, if you had just let me die, you could have gone for the TPK
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Play em like you want to re-roll night.
Weematai sings a short song to the Nature Spirits. All of Pete's injuried are healed.
Weematai begins walking back to Shannonsburg.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Now gents that the mob is dispersed and don't want to hang you, how about we play a nice game of cards? Course, I'm not letting Zach touch his.
Stinky Pete follows
Uriel Iscariot: Okay. Sure.
Zach Dallas: Eh, I don't think it's going to be wise for me do do anything here
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: I reckon ya can't do anything here, and I'm thinking a nice sit down and talk might make for a better impression than the first one you gave.
Zach Dallas glares at Uriel
Uriel Iscariot: I take no responsibility.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Well, I'll chalk up un-rap-pen-eye-tant on your list of faults then also.
Uriel Iscariot: ...wha?
Texas Ranger Allan Winston deals out three hands of cards. Lifts up Zach's hand and shows it only to Zach (the Ranger plays fair and all)
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): lol
Zach Dallas: Gambling [1d6 = 9]
Uriel Iscariot: Gambling [1d6 = 8]
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Gambling [1d8 = 2]
GM: Zach wins the hand and collects $3 in winnings.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Not bad.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): are my hands still tied behind my back?
GM: No, they are tied in front of you, and you are using poker chips, not actual cash.
[w] Zach Dallas: Did he have a strange response when he unloaded two decks full of Queens of Spades? Or did he not open them?
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: So, what brings you to Shannonsburg? Since I doubt you were planning on turning yourself in.
Nick (Stinky Pete): If you were in New York, would you be playing with buffalo chips?
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Didn't open then.
[w] -> Stinky Pete: (Weematai) So, do you have any ideas how to find them?
Uriel Iscariot: I was just trying to get to Shan Fan.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Makes sense.
Zach Dallas: Also, didn't realize the CSA had so much presense
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: What's in Shan Fan?
[w] Stinky Pete: I'd suggest that you stay out of sight from the locals. It'll cause a lot of problems if you go near town again
[w] -> Stinky Pete: (Weematai) Why?
Uriel Iscariot: Interesting folk, no?
[w] Stinky Pete: The locals seem highly afraid and ignorant of you and your kin
Zach Dallas: Did you recognize that interesting piece of jewelry?
Zach Dallas smiles
[w] -> Stinky Pete: (Weematai) I see, what about Chinese people?
Zach Dallas: Gambling [1d8 = 7]
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Gambling [1d8 = 6]
Uriel Iscariot: Gambling [1d6 = 5]
[w] Stinky Pete: Not sure how they feel. I'll find them. Don't worry your pretty little head.
[w] -> Stinky Pete: (Weematai) Okay, I'll hang out and wait for you.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Not sure, what piece of jewelry do you think it is, and what is it for?
Stinky Pete heads back towards town
[w] -> Stinky Pete: You can "enter" town whenever you are ready. Weematai stops to watch from a nearby hill that overlooks the jail.
Uriel Iscariot: Well Zach?
Zach Dallas: Well, I'd say it's a ring and it's meant to be worn on a finger
Zach Dallas: More importantly, it's good for displaying
Zach Dallas: You're a Texas Ranger, right?
Texas Ranger Allan Winston looks at Zach Dallas with a "you are full of shit and I'm losing patience" expression.
Nick (Stinky Pete): You mean it's a dead "ring"-er for something important. Your story "rings" true
Zach Dallas: You're the South's version, the Agency is the North's, and that ring represents a neutral party
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Better answer.
Zach Dallas: basically a group of individuals who wander about and deal with evil when it happens
Zach Dallas: We've had some...unfortunate run-ins before
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: I see.
Stinky Pete starts heading for the jail. Best place to find a wanted man. Well, one wanted Alive, anyway
Uriel Iscariot nods.
Zach Dallas: and figured we might as well join in officially
Zach Dallas: Helps to have allies, too
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Uh huh. And where'd you get it, who'd you get it from?
Stinky Pete arrives in front of the jail.
Uriel Iscariot: Lacy O'Malley gave it to me.
TADM: Or to the side, rear, wherever he wants.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): below
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): oh, wait, that would be Doc
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): above
TADM: DFA the Jail!
Stinky Pete walks in. I, unlike those two, have nothing to hide
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Hmm...interesting.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: I think we got a visitor. Back in a bit gentlemen.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston walks over to the front of the building where Stinky Pete is.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): can we see the door?
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Can I help you sir? The Assayer's office is a couple buildings over if you are looking to make a claim.
GM: You can hear everything that happens, so you will recognize Pete's voice as soon as he talks.
Stinky Pete: Yes, I seemed to have lost something, and I figured I should start looking here
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: I see, what are you looking for? Missing item, lost claim slip?
Stinky Pete: Yes, I heard that you apprehended a pair of dangerous men today, and I believe they stole some of my money while exiting the train
Nick (Stinky Pete): (wasted is more like it, but we'll go with what i have)
Zach Dallas: That little...
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Well, given one of them, that makes sense to me. Care to come with me and see if the two we picked up are the ones you are looking for?
Texas Ranger Allan Winston gestures for Pete to follow him back to the cells.
Stinky Pete: That would be splendid. Thank you
Uriel Iscariot: Geesh.....
Texas Ranger Allan Winston shows Pete the cell where Zach and Uriel are being held.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: That them?
Stinky Pete: Yes sir! That's them right there! Pretty shifty folks, if you ask me
Uriel Iscariot glares at stinky
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Well, I can't argue that. How much they take from you?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): and now we've hit a road block
Uriel Iscariot: Hey Stinky. Come to pay our bail? What a good friend! #This will work, no problem.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Wait now...
Texas Ranger Allan Winston looks suspiciously at Stinky Pete.
Zach Dallas: Unable to facepalm, Zach Dallas headbutts the table
Stinky Pete: He's obviously crazy. The prison life must be taking its toll on him
Uriel Iscariot: Yah! We traveled to town with stinky. He's a great chap when hes not drunk, or looking for a way to scam himself some liquor money
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Right.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Well, as I see, this guy has done nothing wrong.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston looks at Stinky Pete.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: But I'm thinking you want to leave before something happens that makes me think you are an accomplice.
Stinky Pete: Thank you for your time, good sir. I'll just be on my way.
Uriel Iscariot: Bye Pete!
Texas Ranger Allan Winston sits back down on chair outside of cell and shuffles deck.
Stinky Pete leaves before he reconsiders, then heads back toward the hill
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Well now, I don't suppose you two have any more "friends" coming to see you?
Zach Dallas: Oh, dear, I most certainly hope not
Uriel Iscariot: Pete's only friend is the bottle. Poor guy...
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Uh huh.
Zach Dallas: They're not so much evil as they are...socially ignorant
Stinky Pete: *rumble rumble RUMBLE rumble rumble* Mac drives by, wishing you all the best in jail
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Hmm...I need to go send a telegraph or two, then stop for dinner. Don't injure yourself.
Weematai: Did you find them?
Stinky Pete: Yeah. They're in jail. Not surprised, really
Zach Dallas: Telegraph? Why, whatever for?
Weematai: Jail? Did they do something wrong?
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: That's for me to know and you to find out.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston leaves.
Stinky Pete: Could be any number of things. We probably should wait til morning. No sense doing anything else tonight.
Weematai: But...they might get hung, or shot! White men are very vicious.
Weematai: Every time I see a Native American put in a white man jail, they are dead by morning!
Weematai looks panicked.
Stinky Pete: Given that it seemed they were playing cards with the Ranger, I think they'll be fine
Weematai: We need to rescue them!
Weematai: He was probably just lulling them into a false sense of security before poisoning them!
Weematai: White men who run jails are evil!
Stinky Pete: I hate to say it, but the law doesn't apply to white men the same as your kind very much :(
Weematai: We need to go get them!
TADM: She's really emphatic about this, notice the number of "!"
Weematai: Before something bad happens!
TADM: ...like everyone dies in an ill-conceived jail break.
Stinky Pete: [1d4 = 3]
Stinky Pete: [1d6 = 3]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): NOMINATE BENNY
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): if that's for Persuasion
Stinky Pete: Unskilled {--2 Unskilled} -2 (Unskilled Modifier -2) [1d4-4 = -2]
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): N N NOMINATION BENNY
Stinky Pete is using a benny
Stinky Pete: Unskilled {--2 Unskilled} [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6-2 = 1]
Stinky Pete: Unskilled {--2 Unskilled} [1d6-2 = 2]
Weematai: Okay, so first we need to find the largest draft animal we can, like say a bull. Then we need like 50' of rope.
Weematai scans town for draft animals.
Stinky Pete: No no no. It's okay. Really
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Clearly you are a frequentist, not a bayesian.
Stinky Pete attempts to hold her down before she runs
Stinky Pete: Fighting [1d6 = 8]
Weematai: Umm....?
Weematai called shot to groin.
Weematai: Fighting (Called Shot (Small) -4) [1d10-4 = 12]
Stinky Pete: Look. Let's just calm down and see what happens. Besides, if there's a hanging or anything scheduled, we'll notice a huge crowd gathering from here
TADM: OMFG.
Weematai: Strength [1d6+1d6 raise = 4]
Weematai: Umm....
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I'll be rerolling
Stinky Pete: Look, just trust me. Just wait til morning.
Weematai: Well, since you are holding me off the ground I guess I have no choice in the matter.
Stinky Pete: ...Right
Stinky Pete: sets her down gently
Weematai sits down on the ground and frowns, waiting for gunshots indicating that Zach and Uriel are dead.
Stinky Pete: I'm heading to bed. Just stay put, wait til morning, and we'll figure out what to do then
Weematai: Okay.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): there is no one in the jail now, correct?
GM: There are some drunks in another cell and several deputies around.
Stinky Pete: Goodnight, ma'am.
Stinky Pete tucks in for the night. ZZZzzzzzz...
Stinky Pete: Zzzzz...*gurgle snore*...
TADM: Rather conveniently, Stinky Pete goes to sleep. Which is nice since Nick has to leave.
'Nick' disconnected
Weematai: Stealth {+2 Woodsman} [1d8+2 = 12]
A few hours pass and it becomes dark as the sun sets into the Pacific Ocean. The town of Shannonsburg quiets down, except for the section of town where the soldiers and miners get a bit rowdy.
The jail cell Zach and Uriel are in has a small 8"x8" barred window looking outside, about 6' off the ground. Around midnight you hear Weematai's voice.
Weematai: Are you two okay in there?
Zach Dallas: Yup
Zach Dallas: I'm surprised you came down here
Weematai: Pete said we should not try to rescue you until morning.
Weematai: I was nervous you would be dead already.
Zach Dallas: Nah, we're not going to die
Zach Dallas: Uriel definitely won't
Zach Dallas: He's only here becuase he was being a jerk
Weematai: White Men jails are very dangerous. I am nervous that you will be killed.
Weematai: And Uriel also, because he is in jail for no reason.
Zach Dallas: Don't worry about it, the Sheriff is a nice guy. He's not going to do too much more since this is the lesson he wants to teach'm
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [1d6 = 3]
Zach Dallas is using a benny
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [1d6 = 5]
Weematai: Okay, so you are safe and I do not need to rescue you?
Zach Dallas: Correct. We should be free in the next few days, then we can keep going North. Just take care of yourself. We don't want anyone finding you and trying to sell you into slavery like at the last town...
Weematai: Okay, I will stay outside of town and wait for you.
Zach Dallas: Thanks
Weematai leaves.
The party manages not to get killed during the night.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): yay!
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Hmm...morning gentlemen.
Zach Dallas: sleeping with your hands behind your back sucks
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Funny, since I left them in front of you.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Anyway, I sent a couple of telegrams out and received some interesting replies.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston shuffles some papers in his hands, reads them over again.
Zach Dallas: Hm
Zach Dallas sits up
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Well, both Holliday and Earp vouched for you. Which means a lot to me.
GM: Notice checks.
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 5]
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 3]
[w] -> Uriel Iscariot: He's holding THREE telegrams. He only mentioned two.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston looks at Zach Dallas.
Uriel Iscariot: Windstorm to grab the last memo into the cell.
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 2]
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 = 7]
The memo flies out of his hand and lands at Uriel's feet.
Uriel Iscariot: Place it on the floor infront of Zach and I
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 3]
Uriel Iscariot is using a benny
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 9]
Zach Dallas DOES NOT WANT
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 11]
Zach Dallas: WHAT ARE YOU DOING
Uriel Iscariot: Brr its cold out west....
Texas Ranger Allan Winston looks annoyed, bends over and grabs the memo and crumples them all up.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: So, Mister Zach Dallas, if you promise me you will return to stand trial when you are done with the "business" of that "neutral" party, you are free to go.
Zach Dallas: Hm
Zach Dallas: Yes, that I shall
Zach Dallas: Hopefully, I'll have enough fame to actually avoid death by then
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): *then
Zach Dallas: Actually, what's the bounty for?
Zach Dallas: I've never gotten a good look at it
Zach Dallas: for obvious reasons
The memo on the floor read, "To Allan Winston. The men you have asked about are important for our goals. You are to let them go immediately." There is no signature on it.
Texas Ranger Allan Winston: Theft and cheating at gambling.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): DAMMIT IT'S A MEMO I CAN'T HUNCH MEMOS
Zach Dallas: General penalty?
Zach Dallas: Common Knowledge [1d10 = 8]
For what you are accused of, the usual sentence is 5 years in prison.
Zach Dallas: In fact, I'll come back here for ya, if possible.
Campaign saved.
