Savage Worlds Ruleset for Fantasy Grounds II
(c) 2009 Pinnacle Entertainment Group.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): lol im out of it
Captain Smythe: Ah, preacher Iscariot, good to see you returned from converting the heathens, or whatever it was you were doing.
Captain Smythe: You did not miss much, the rest of the group yesterday went over to spread the news about their good deeds and will soon be returning.
Dillenger: Yes, supposedly there was a woman named Grey at some hotel also, not that we saw her.
Uriel Iscariot: Oh No!
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): OH NOES
It is 1200 on February 22, 1880.
Uriel Iscariot: I missed an exorcism for some lousy converting the heathens!
Kazemi: (Zach Dallas) Temperature?
GM: Ezekial walks into the Sunrise Hotel, looking very content and happy.
GM: It is in the mid 50s, Fahrenheit, with a light fog and chance of afternoon showers.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): We WALKED there from Lost Angels lol
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): over two weeks
Uriel Iscariot: May the Lord grace your day with his blessings Ezekial
Dillenger: Your friend Pete is over drinking at the bar, which seems to be his normal behavior.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Yous wasting yo breath preacha, I don't think you got blessin's enough fo my sins
Stinky Pete *chug chug chug*
Stinky Pete is telling a joke to a fellow patron. "A man walks into the bar." A man really does walk into the bar, then comes up to the patron and slugs him before Pete can finish the original joke. "Now that's what I call a punchline."
Captain Smythe: Mr. Dallas is off somewhere, we can only assume he is getting in trouble.
Uriel Iscariot: Poor kid...
Zach Dallas enters the restaurant. He glances around, catches sight of Zeke, and heads over towards him
Zach Dallas: Sorry. Had difficulty getting to sleep
Ezekial Ikwiano: Me too
Zach Dallas: Different reasons, I presume
Dillenger: There was this rather interesting line in the Tombstone Newspaper, something about a $1000 reward from the Rockies Mining Organization having a problem in Sacramento. That is a pretty short train ride on Union Blue from here.
Ezekial Ikwiano: I dun soothed my pain with whores and whiskey
Zach Dallas: My pain won't go away even with God's fully blessing
Zach Dallas rubs his hand
Uriel Iscariot: Im curious Mr. Zach Dallas, just what DID keep you up?
Zach Dallas right hand, if it matters
Ezekial Ikwiano: Mans gotta celebrate after joining the super hero club or whateva we dun got ourselves into
Stinky Pete pays the barkeep, then joins the others
Dillenger smiles at Zeke's statement.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): full blessing
Uriel Iscariot: One can only imagine, that a week or so away from the eyes of the LORD would see you gone entirely astray...
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Hm. I wonder how that Y got there. I hang out with you guys too much
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): my typos are almost all intentional
GM: Ah yes, Uriel notes that Zach is sporting a snazzy new Michael Jackson look, by having a glove on his right hand only.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): And a Bo shaped hole in his chest cavity
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): actually, I thought my whisper made it clear that I have two gloves on...
Uriel Iscariot: Are you a smooth criminal or what? I see you have handily found a new accessory.
GM: My mistake, he's wearing two gloves.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): One's got a nifty Diamond-Suite symbol on it
Nick (Stinky Pete): So did OJ
TADM: Yeah, but somehow OJ's hands GREW during the trial.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol
Nick (Stinky Pete): No, he just managed to have someone wash them before he had to try them on
Uriel Iscariot: Okay my flock, where doth we be headed this day?
Zach Dallas coughs
Zach Dallas: Might I suggest Sacramento?
Zach Dallas: May be some o' God's Will to be done there
Zach Dallas: If the rumors have any basis whatsoever in fact
Ezekial Ikwiano: Is there a ree-ward for that?
Zach Dallas: Yes
Ezekial Ikwiano: I'm in
Stinky Pete: Me too
Captain Smythe: Well, if that is where you are going, stop by Shan Fan on your way back. Dillenger and I are going to do some research on the amulet and other things while you are gone.
Zach Dallas: Can you guys handle it here?
Captain Smythe: And chaps, stiff upper lip, do take care to avoid death.
Dillenger: I'm sure we'll be fine.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Ah, so you retrived the token of life? cool.
Nick (Stinky Pete): Which, I'm guessing was named either for sacred Mentos, or a poorly translated Spanish version of sacrament
Zach Dallas: I doubt Grey cares much about the amulet anymore, but she is NOT up to any good. If anything huge happens, I'm putting money on her being behind it
Captain Smythe: We shall be fine, NPCs exist in a bubble, nothing bad will happen to us until it becomes plot necessary. Plus I read ahead on the campaign gude the other night while the GM was asleep and know that I live through the campaign.
Uriel Iscariot: .....
Ezekial Ikwiano: lucky you rod
GM: Bad British NPC! No tea for you!
Uriel Iscariot: THOU SHALT NOT LET A SORCEROR LIVE!
Captain Smythe: Jolly good!
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): In case you're not aware, after Weematai threw the black dagger and nicked my hand, it started dying to the point where it looks burnt. There's still a cut mark there and no matter how many times you used Heal, it did nothing.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): super-crispy-burnt
GM: He also neglected to mention that Weematai has come up missing.
Zach Dallas: So, you get a good night's sleep, Pete?
Zach Dallas glances at Pete
Uriel Iscariot: To Sacremento then! Redemption is yours for the taking!
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): is Pete responding?
Recap of Tombstone message: GOOD INTENTIONS! Bored Union soldiers in Sacramento pass the time drinking “ghost rot”—bloody massacres ensue! The Rockies offer a $1000 reward to anyone who unmasks the foul stuff’s makers!
Stinky Pete: Yeah, guess so. Why?
Ezekial Ikwiano: You can take all the redemption you want, leaves more ree-ward money fo the rest of us
Zach Dallas: Just wondering. Grey seemed to show specific interest toward you. Nothing...odd happened last night, correct?
Zach Dallas: nothing out of the norm?
Zach Dallas: Smarts [1d12 = 10]
Zach Dallas: Just an uneventful night, then?
Stinky Pete: Pretty much
Zach Dallas smiles and shuffles a deck of cards
Uriel Iscariot: Strange...he said "What goes into a man's mouth does not defile him; what comes out of a man's mouth - that defiles him" but that doesn't seem to apply to this caper...
Uriel Iscariot scratches his head
TADM: Clearly that saying has not been revised in the time of American pre-processed fast food.
Zach Dallas flips up a black Joker on the top of his deck
Captain Smythe: Chaps, I just checked the Union Blue departure schedule, there is a train leaving at 2PM for Sacramento, might be your best bet.
Captain Smythe sets down paper and pops out monocle.
Ezekial Ikwiano: So we gonna' elephant or what? Theys money to be made in Sacramento.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Theys?
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): its a conraction of there and is
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): for people who don't speak well or carefully
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): OK, I can buy that. Odd spelling for it, though
TADM: Hooked on Ebonics worked for Ezekial.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): lol
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): also I did a lot of my undergraduate history research on this time period
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): so I like to throw in little phrases from time to time
Uriel Iscariot: Money? Are you sure you want that Ezekial?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Yup
Uriel Iscariot: It is harder for a rich man to enter heaven than it is to fit a camel through the eye of a needle...
Ezekial Ikwiano takes out a cigar and lights it
Ezekial Ikwiano: I could fit a camel through the eye of a needle
Ezekial Ikwiano: Need about 20 pouns o dynamite
Stinky Pete: Me too. Wait, does it need to be whole?
Ezekial Ikwiano: an a hacksaw
Uriel Iscariot facepalms
Zach Dallas: Dynamite and animals don't mix too well
Zach Dallas: Too hard to clean up the remains
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Our group has proven the exact opposite time after time, they mix EXTREMELY well.
TADM: Technically, the "eye of the needle" in that phrase was based on a Jerusalem taxation practice established around 65BC.
Zach Dallas speaks as if through personal experience
Zach Dallas: So, let's get going
Stinky Pete: C'mon. The GM obviously wants to railroad us, so let's just board the train so we can derail it later.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): Hrm that is a curious fact.
GM: Okay, unless there are any objectons, Captain Smythe will give you each a round-trip ticket to Sacramento ("Least I Could Do, chaps, good luck and all") and we will have you get off the train in Sacramento.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): to Sacramento!
Nick (Stinky Pete): Yay! We're corporate PCs now. Perks a plenty!
Zach Dallas sweeps his cards spectacularly into a single pile
TADM: It's not so much railroading as keeping the storyline moving.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): YAY! LETS GO!
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): For great justice!
Nick (Stinky Pete): If you throw enough hooks into the ocean, eventually you'll catch a dum bass.
Uriel Iscariot gives proper thanks to Smythe and boards the train.
TADM: Okay Nick, that is enough cumulative joke telling that you are getting a benny.
Stinky Pete has been awarded a benny
The train deposits you safely at the Sacramento rail station without further incident. The USA flag and Union soldiers are everywhere. This is part town, part army base.
Nick (Stinky Pete): Note to self: If unable to acheive comedic greatness through one great line, several mediocre ones will do just fine.
TADM: Sadly yes.
Uriel Iscariot: Someday, we won't need all these soldiers...
Uriel Iscariot: If only people listened to JESUS and loved one another!
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [1d8+2 = 11]
Ezekial Ikwiano: Maybe they is listenin' to Moses and killin' they oppressas
Ezekial Ikwiano: I know I did, sheeeit
The stationmaster here is a Union Captain. He is talking to a man who keeps saying, "The Rockies need this scourge fixed!" The man then walks off, leaving the Captain to greet you.
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 10]
Zach Dallas: Notice [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 4]
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d6 = 4]
Stinky Pete: "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone" and all that? That story is a rip because he doesn't follow his own advice
Captain Tyson: Greetings gentlemen, I am Captain Tyson, US 9th Cavalry.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): is he on a horse?
Captain Tyson: At least for another few months, then I'm retiring and starting my own chicken meat produciton company.
TADM: No, he is on foot.
Ezekial Ikwiano: You aint on a horse, don't that make you infantry?
Nick (Stinky Pete): Is he yellow, because his family is famous for chickens
Uriel Iscariot: That's kind of a fowl bussiness, eh?
Nick (Stinky Pete): You should be tarred and feathered for that joke
Captain Tyson: It is, but less chance of being shot, only pecked to death.
Captain Tyson: Anyway, what brings you to Sacramento.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Reward money
Ezekial Ikwiano: An a train
Uriel Iscariot: Sweet Sa'lvation!
Zach Dallas: I'm more for the money, myself
Captain Tyson: Ah yes, the Rockies would like someone to find the source of the "Ghost Rot" form of alcohol and put an end to it.
Uriel Iscariot: Kn Occult {+2 Honey Vial} [1d6+2 = 4]
Ezekial Ikwiano: Pete n' I could prolly drink it all up. Prob'm solved
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting [1d10 = 8]
Uriel's Occult roll tells him this: Ghost Rot is a really strong form of highly addictive alcohol. Folks who develop a hankering for it become even more violent than the usual drunken fool. Some of them go on bloody rampages, like the group of miners who massacred women and children in an Indian village just east of Fort Lincoln back in ’76. That incident almost set off a war between miners and Indians, and if the U.S. Army hadn’t stepped in a lot more people would have died.
Zach Dallas: I've a feeling that Pete could tank all of it
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): last thing we need is for Zeke to get MORE violent
Captain Tyson: So yeah, the reward is $1000 for the person who can find and eliminate the source of the problem.
Captain Tyson whistles.
Uriel Iscariot: We shall find the source of this blight, and cleanse this land of it's curse forever.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Eliminatin' is sorta my specialty
A horse comes over and Tyson swiftly mounts it, then rides off.
Nick (Stinky Pete): Let's hope that all the clues aren't henpecked already
Uriel Iscariot: Hrm. That was sort of brief.
TADM: Nah, they're pretty fowl, with a strong dose of gizzards.
Captain Tyson rides back.
Captain Tyson: Ah yes, I just need to get on a horse to remind myself I am in the Cavalry. Plus I had to check on my chicken coop.
Uriel Iscariot: Tell me, is your favorite day, Fry-day?
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): Why do chicken coops only have two doors?
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): Cause if they had 4 doors, they would be chicken sedans
TADM: Would 5 doors make them a chicken wagon?
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): Chicken hatchback
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I hate you all
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d4 = 11]
Captain Tyson: Fry-day is the best day ever. Now, do you have any relevant questions for me?
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): whats the matter? all the bad chicken puns going to make you kick the bucket?
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): looking for a nearby bar or drinking establishemtn
Uriel Iscariot: Yes actually.
Zeke notices a number of bars nearby.
Uriel Iscariot: Persuasion [1d8 = 6]
Zach Dallas: Notice [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 4]
Zach Dallas: Smarts [1d12 = 3]
[w] Ezekial Ikwiano I'm gonna walk into the nearest bar, strait up to the bartender and ask for some ghost rot
Uriel Iscariot: Would it be possible to get the details of all of the locations with a liquor license in the immediate area?
[w] -> Ezekial Ikwiano: Everyone in the bar draws a weapon and points it at you. The barman tells you to "GTFO, we don't serve that here!"
Uriel Iscariot: Or at least all of your boys' watering holes, so to speak?
Stinky Pete: Well, Tyson has one thing going for him. He doesn't have a problem getting chicks
Captain Tyson: Sure, I can tell you about a lot of them, but seeing as you are nice folk, I'm going to mention that it is illegal to sell Ghost Rot in California, so you could not buy it at a bar.
Stinky Pete: And he doesn't have to worry about getting cock-blocked either
Captain Tyson laughs at Pete.
[w] Ezekial Ikwiano: Well sheeit boys, just tryin to track down the source. Goin afta that reward money
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): This is horrible
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): This is worse than the time with the frog puns
[w] Ezekial Ikwiano: If anyone can point me in tha right direction, they may just be a fina's fee in it
[w] -> Ezekial Ikwiano: That seems to cool them a bit. Make a Streetwise roll.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Unskilled {--2 Unskilled} [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6-2 = 5]
[w] -> Ezekial Ikwiano: Don' know where to find it, but I saw a bunch of bluebellies with several bottles of it heading out of town towards the east. The soldier-boys like to drink it up on a nearby hill, then shoot off guns into the air.
Ezekial Ikwiano has been awarded a benny
TADM: Benny to Zeke for cutting right to the chase.
[w] Ezekial Ikwiano: Thanks fo the tip, I'll come find you again if it pays off
Stinky Pete: He must have been sick of us being cooped up by puns
Ezekial Ikwiano walks out of a bar and returns to his companions.
Uriel Iscariot vomits all over the place. this is horrid.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Captain, you know anything bout your boys headin' off east o town?
Ezekial Ikwiano: shootin guns and bein' wild?
TADM Warning: Bennies will be free-flowing tonight, as there is a high-likelihood of a TPK battle a little later.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): well, I already have 5
Nick (Stinky Pete): brb need something to drink
Captain Tyson: Err...not really, probably some bullet-stoppers.
Captain Tyson: I mean, infantry.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Birds of a feather, red shirt
Ezekial Ikwiano: I was infantry. Can't say I 'preciate that tone
Captain Tyson sniffs.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d6 = 5]
Captain Tyson: Yeah, but you was Reb. Infantry, you're good at runnin'
[w] Ezekial Ikwiano: do I hear any gunfire from off to the east?
[w] -> Ezekial Ikwiano: Nope.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Only place I eva ran was back home to Alabama to kill a smug honkey fo disrespectin' me
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Is it that obvious?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Intimidation [1d6 = 5]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas) goal:TPK before Brad returns
Uriel Iscariot: Now now Ezekial, make peace unto your brothers
Captain Tyson: Spirit [1d8 = 18]
Captain Tyson laughs at Zeke's attempt to intimidate him. In fact, Zeke feels a little nervous about trying to annoy this Extra.
Nick (Stinky Pete): Don't you mean piece?
Uriel Iscariot: So. Ezekial, Shall you not calm your temper? This man has not wronged thee.
Ezekial Ikwiano: I aint about to go killin' the man thats gonna be payin' us our reward money
Ezekial Ikwiano: but he's got a mouth on him fo sho
Uriel Iscariot: Judge not lest ye juged.
Ezekial Ikwiano: I got juged last night, cost me 20 dollas
Uriel Iscariot: I....I...
Zach Dallas: AHAHA
Zach Dallas: Anyway, you said something about shoot-outs in the east, right?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Yup
Uriel Iscariot: More Pew pew, less QQ?
GM: So does the group head out to the east?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Sounds like a plan
Ezekial Ikwiano: Some bluebacks been headin' out that way with their bellies full o ghost rot
Uriel Iscariot: I agree. Ezekial hath seen the way.
It is about 1700 on Feburary 22, 1880.
Ezekial Ikwiano: heads out of town towards the east, keeping his eyes and ears open.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [Critical failure!] [1d4 = 1]
Zach Dallas: Notice [Critical failure!] [1d4 = 1]
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [1d8+2 = 21]
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 7]
Ezekial Ikwiano: I DONT HEAR NOTHIN. DO YOU HEAR ANYTHIN?
Uriel Iscariot: I hear a loud obnoxious man disturbing the peace.
Well, none of you see any soldiers or otherwise detect lifeforms, but Pete's supernatural ability to find alcohol leads you right to a hidden spot between a couple hills where a bunch of soldiers are drinking LIQUOR!
Ezekial Ikwiano: Anya you boys know where a hard-workin' negro can buy some good booze?
Drunk Soldier: Woot woot! Yeehaa!
Drunk Soldier #2: Look boys, it's a nigger! My daddy died so them niggers could run free!
Ezekial Ikwiano: Whatchu call me boy?
Drunk Soldier #3: Hey, think'n we shoot that nigger a little, he'll dance?

The other soldiers look at the drunk soldier who is laughing as the blood pours from his head and he topples over.
Round 1
The deck has been shuffled.
Dealing cards...
Zach Dallas
The soldiers marked by red draw their weapons to attack. The yellow marked soldiers decide on another drink or two.
GM: The soldiers have revolvers and bayonets.
GM: The bayonets are in sheaths at their waist, they are not carrying rifles.
Nick: (Stinky Pete) can we see the turn order?
Zach Dallas takes aim at the one in the back with one of his pistols
Nick (Stinky Pete): 5" squares, i assume?
Uriel Iscariot: Why did you shoot Ezekial? They werent going tequila-ya!
Uriel Iscariot
Uriel Iscariot: I gotta prevent more of them from going boozerk!

Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} +2 (Novice Power Penalty -2) [1d10 = 4]
Ezekial Ikwiano
Stinky Pete: A barrier is the yeast of your worries.
A wall of dirt rises in front of Uriel and Ezekial.

Uriel Iscariot: Is anyone else able to be saved? or have they already passed?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d4 = 3]
The last hostile soldier falls over with a watermelon sized exit-wound. The remaining (now sober) soldier looks shaken.
Ezekial Ikwiano: is anyone else in need of further killin'
Zach Dallas: Notice [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 8]
GM: All the other soldiers are quite dead.
Sober Soldier: Wow..thanks..I'm never touching that stuff again.
Zach Dallas: Where did you guys get it from?
[w] Ezekial Ikwiano: was this soldier one of the ones going on about nigger killing?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Smarts [1d6 = 4]
Uriel Iscariot: Can.....You tell us what happened?
[w] -> Ezekial Ikwiano: Nope, he was just chugging away.
Sober Soldier: Err...I don't...hmm...
Sober Soldier looks thoughtful.
Zach Dallas: Do you have any leftover?
Sober Soldier hands Uriel the empty bottle of ghost rot. Then he points over at the pile of dead soldiers.
Sober Soldier: Might be some over there.
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 5]
Ezekial Ikwiano: We aint lookin' to drink it boy, we lookin' to kill whoeva made it
Ezekial Ikwiano: so spit it out, where'd you get that rotgut
Ezekial Ikwiano: Intimidation [1d4 = 2]
Uriel Iscariot: Yes. This. We expected as much. We heard trouble was brewing, but I was hoping youd be able to distill this mystery a bit so things were clearer
Ezekial Ikwiano is using a benny
There are a few scattered bottles of ghost rot among the bodies.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Intimidation [1d6 = 4]
GM: Does Uriel want to look at the bottle the soldier handed him?
Uriel Iscariot: Kn Occult {+2 Honey Vial} [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6+2 = 11]
Nick (Stinky Pete): Don't bottle up your emotions
Uriel looks at the bottle and sees a crudely printed label on it, "STEAMPRESS RYE WHISKEY"
Sober Soldier: We...uh...bought it from a traveling caravan run by a guy named Dr. Carr. The saloons don't sell it.
Zach Dallas walks over to Uriel with one of the bottles
Ezekial Ikwiano: Where can we find carr?
Sober Soldier: We bought it a few hours ago, he packed up after selling it to us and head east, towards Blank's Springs.
It is now about 1800 on February 22, 1880.
Nick (Stinky Pete): brb afk
[w] Zach Dallas -> Uriel Iscariot: I'm taking a glimpse, smack this out of my hands if I apparently lose control and try to drink it for some reason.
Uriel Iscariot: Yes, Zach?
[w] Zach Dallas: Deal on the bottle: What made it?
[w] Ezekial Ikwiano: do these soldiers have horses nearby?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d4 = 7]
[w] Zach Dallas: Hunch
Uriel Iscariot: I know you dabble with dark spirits, but this is outta yer league!
[w] Zach Dallas: I get to draw 9 cards now or 10?
Uriel Iscariot: Idle hands are the devil's own. We should start our Carr Chase now, as to prevent more mayhem.
Zach Dallas: I'd like to know what's up
Ezekial Ikwiano: If we could find us a couple horses, we could prolly ride hard and dry gulch him before makes way to Blank's Springs
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I've got three bennies, what's the worst that could happen?
[w] -> Zach Dallas: You get a straight on the hunch. All you get is an image of a wagon loaded with crates of Rye Whiskey.
[w] Zach Dallas: nothing odd?
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting [1d10 = 4]
[w] -> Zach Dallas: 10 cards, nothing odd happens.
Uriel Iscariot: We oughta get back to town and rally some up then eh?
Sober Soldier: Umm...not that I condone theivery at all, but the Union Cavalry stables are just over that rise to the north.
[w] Zach Dallas: that's technically -1, benny to reroll?
Sober Soldier: Now, if you don't mind, I'm going back to town.
Sober Soldier leaves.
Uriel Iscariot: Poor kid.
[w] -> Zach Dallas: nah, just consider it a freebie and no reroll.
Uriel Iscariot: To the stables, people?
Ezekial Ikwiano: I'm all for it
Zach Dallas: Sounds good
GM: It is dark out. Is everyone comfortable with their riding skill for riding a horse at night?
Uriel Iscariot: Sure am.
Zach Dallas: I'm not too confident
Zach Dallas: We can wait a night without too much of a problem
[w] Stinky Pete: Should be interesting, to say the least
Zach Dallas: not to mention we can actually GET PERMISSION to use the horses in this case
Uriel Iscariot: Sure we can
Uriel Iscariot: Lets go we hath not the time to wasteth
Uriel Iscariot walks off in the direction the solider spoke of
Ezekial Ikwiano follows.
Stinky Pete: Nose for Rock [1d6 = 7]
Uriel Iscariot: None who follow him shall be lost.
Uriel Iscariot: Light
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} +2 (Novice Power Penalty -2) [1d6 = 5]
Stinky Pete: But all who follow you are
[w] -> Stinky Pete: The bottle of steampress rye whiskey has a slight smell of ghost rock, it is definitely used in the fermentation process.
Zach Dallas sighs and follows
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [1d6 = 4]
Zach Dallas: You sure we shouldn't wait until day? We could be fighting against things more comfortable at night than we are
Uriel Iscariot: Smarts [1d6 = 4]
Ezekial Ikwiano: Smarts [1d6 = 3]
Stinky Pete: Smarts [1d8 = 3]
The soldiers guarding the Union Cavalry stables look at you rather strangely as you approach.
Lt. Harbin: Can I help you gentlemen?
Ezekial Ikwiano: You sure can
Uriel Iscariot: Hail, and blessings be upon thee.
GM: The soldiers swivel around a gatling gun and use the "aim" action on Uriel, since he is a bit "glowy."
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): im ready for a SWEET RAVE PARTY
Lt. Harbin: Yes yes...now what brings you out here at night?
Ezekial Ikwiano: We gonna need some horses tomorrow to kill a Ghost rot seller
Lt. Harbin looks at Zeke rather dismissively.
Lt. Harbin: And this is relevant to me....how?
Ezekial Ikwiano: An' if that's outa the question, tell Captain Tyson he dun hurt my feelings
Nick (Stinky Pete): Is Harbin his first name, and Ger his last?
Ezekial Ikwiano: an I spect him to meet me out from of the calvary stables tomorrow at noon
TADM: Perhaps.
Lt. Harbin: Right. I don't think anyone cares about your feelings.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Or is he too yellow to settle up like a man?
Uriel Iscariot: Brothers!
Uriel Iscariot: Stop this maddness!
Ezekial Ikwiano pats Bo and Luke.
Soldiers swivel the gatling gun to Zeke and use the "aim" action, as do several others with Winchesters.
Zach Dallas: Oh, calm down
Lt. Harbin: Well, if you are eager to die, we are happy to oblige you right now.
Ezekial Ikwiano lights a cigar.
Lt. Harbin draws pistol.
Zach Dallas: How many of you guys are hooked on Ghost Rot?
Zach Dallas: Smarts [1d12 = 10]
Lt. Harbin: Drinking Ghost Rot is illegal and against regulations, so the answer would be 0.
Ezekial Ikwiano: That's funny
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): is he bein' truthful?
Ezekial Ikwiano: We just had to put down a half dozen of you uniforms who was crazy on the stuff
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): or lying through his teeth?
Uriel Iscariot: Right, exactly why we must be allowed to borrow some of your fine mounts. We came across a group of soldiers in the desert who had succumb to the rot
Lt. Harbin: Now, you can either walk away, or you can all get arrested for disturbing the peace and trespassing on government property.
Zach Dallas: be
Uriel Iscariot: And we knoweth where the merchant is off to.
Zach Dallas: quiet
Lt. Harbin: Or you can get shot for resisting arrest, your call.
Zach Dallas: you guys
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): to Zeke and Uriel
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Lt.. Harbin is 100% honest and truthful in his dealings with you so far.
Zach Dallas: Let's go. I'm guessing these guys would turn their guns on us if they realized their supply of Ghost Rot was gone
Lt. Harbin: If it is gone, then good riddance to it.
Zach Dallas: You know anyplace to spend the night?
Ezekial Ikwiano: It aint gone you thick skull
Ezekial Ikwiano: we tryin to get rid of it though
Lt. Harbin: Lots of hotels in town.
Lt. Harbin points pistol at Zeke.
Lt. Harbin: You should leave, now. Last warning.
Stinky Pete starts leaving
Zach Dallas: Calm down. you're an armed garrison, you don't have anything to worry about him.
Zach Dallas: Let's go for now. We can talk with Tyson in the morning if we have the chance
Uriel Iscariot: That seems reasonable.
Uriel Iscariot: Let us go.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Might do
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 5]
Uriel Iscariot: Can I SEE any horses?
The group heads back into Sacramento. Hotel rooms and dinners are $10.
[w] -> Uriel Iscariot: You see lots of horses, penned up behind fences.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): I'll eat/sleep
Uriel Iscariot Peacefully retreats with the party back to town.
GM: Streetwise or Notice check to end the night in Sacramento.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d6 = 9]
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 16]
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [1d6+2 = 11]
Zach Dallas: Streetwise [1d6 = 11]
TADM: ALL RIGHT.
You all hear, from different people, someting to the effect of:
Zach Dallas: Gambling [1d8 = 3]
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): dammit
Bar Patron: Yeah, there was this real looker came through town yesterday morning, said her name was Grey. She stopped and talked with Captain Tyson, asked a few questions, then said she had to go see a friend of hers who just left town, some guy named Carr.
Zach Dallas: Common Knowledge [1d12 = 10]
[w] -> Zach Dallas: You have never heard of Carr before if that is why you were rolling.
[w] Zach Dallas: curses
Zach Dallas: Streetwise [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 3]
[w] Zach Dallas: curses again
The night passes uneventfully, barring party sheningans. It is now 0800 on February 23, 1880.
Uriel Iscariot: Everyone! Rise! A new day dawns, a day in which the light shalt not falter in the face of evil!
TADM: That is a really interesting line.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): lol
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): lol?
Zach Dallas: Let's get to Tyson first
Ezekial Ikwiano strolls naked into the street and hops into a horse-trough of water briefly before drying off and getting dressed.
Zach Dallas: Streetwise [1d4 = 7]
Zach's excellent Streetwise roll locates the captain in the Union Blue Station Master office.
Captain Tyson Yes?
Uriel Iscariot: We got yer man.
Zach Dallas: Just wondering, have you ever heard of someone named Carr before?
Ezekial Ikwiano joins the party there after completing his street-shower
Captain Tyson: Hmm...yes, traveling doctor, has a pretty Chinese girl for an assistant. Snakeoil salesman kind of person, sells tonics and stuff.
Zach Dallas: Do you know where he is?
Captain Tyson: He was in town yesterday, I assume he headed east.
Zach Dallas: Also, can you do me a favor and check inside your shoes?
Zach Dallas: Persuasion [1d6 = 4]
Zach Dallas: It'll be quick, I just want to confirm something
Captain Tyson stands up and walks around to the front of the desk. You notice he is barefoot, as it looks like his right big toe is swollen.
Ezekial Ikwiano: You got some wierd fetishes Zach, an I know bout wierd fetishes
Captain Tyson: I was henpecked yesterday.
Zach Dallas: Ouch
Zach Dallas: Well, that'll deal with that.
Captain Tyson goes back to sitting behind desk.
Captain Tyson: Well then, good luck tracking him down, gentlemen.
Uriel Iscariot: Well, we have a lead
Zach Dallas: Two more questions: How long has Mr. Carr been in town and how long has Ghost Rot been a problem?
Captain Tyson: Carr has been wandering through town for about ten years, Ghost Rot first showed up around five years ago, maybe six.
Captain Tyson: Pretty regular, he shows up about once a month.
Zach Dallas: And his assistant?
Captain Tyson: The cute Chinese girl? Can't say I remember, but I think she has been with him for a long time. I remember when she was a cute kid, now she is a nice attraction to his wagon.
Captain Tyson: Definitely helps his sales.
Ezekial Ikwiano: How much is she?
Captain Tyson looks at Zeke and scoffs.
Zach Dallas: Is she famous for anything in particular?
Zach Dallas ignores Zeke for the moment
Captain Tyson: Not that I know of.
Zach Dallas: OK, well thanks for your time!
Uriel Iscariot seems a little impatient with Zach's questions.
Zach Dallas tips his hat
Uriel Iscariot: We know where he gone off to Zach!
Uriel Iscariot: Let's git em before more people rot away!
Zach Dallas: Then stop stalling! Let's move!
Stinky Pete: Let's cut him off at the pass!
GM: So the party heads out? How would you like to procure horses?
Uriel Iscariot: Yes.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): I agree with uriel
Ezekial Ikwiano: Can't really answer a "how" with a "yes"
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): youve got the streetsmarts. Go in there and smart us something.
Zach Dallas Streetwise [Critical failure!] [1d4 = 1]
Zach Dallas is using a benny
Zach Dallas: Streetwise [1d4 = 5]
Zach locates a horse-salesperson, who is reputed to be honest in his dealings.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): woohoo!
Crazy Akbar: Hello! Welcome to my humble stable! These horses are all triple-checked and extra clean!
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): no cheap-o horses
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): O REALY
Uriel Iscariot: ITS A TRAP!
GM: Then the Benny kicks in. Honest Doug: Akbar, go clean the stables while I talk with the customers.
Crazy Akbar: Yes, the praise of Allah be upon you all!
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): Beware of Doug
Honest Doug: How can I help you?
Stinky Pete: Your tastebuds can't repel flavor of that magnatude!!
Zach Dallas: We would like to get 4 horses, please
Zach Dallas: We should not need them for too long, is there a leasing program available?
Honest Doug: I see, no problem, I have many nice horses available. How much would you like to spend Mr....?
Zach Dallas noticibly pauses
Zach Dallas: Zach
Uriel Iscariot: Iscariot. You can trust that name right?
Zach Dallas smiles
Nick (Stinky Pete): Mr. Ed
Ezekial Ikwiano: You can call me Zeke
Honest Doug looks at Uriel Iscariot and the rest of the group.
Nick (Stinky Pete): Seriously, when dealing with horses, go with a name you can trust. No doubletalk there
Zach Dallas: Smarts [1d12 = 8]
Honest Doug: Uriel Iscariot? So you would be Zach Dallas, Ezekial Ikwiano, and Pete?
Uriel Iscariot: yes.
Honest Doug points at each person correctly.
Zach Dallas: You spoke with a Ms Grey the other day, I take it?
Honest Doug: Yes, and she paid me $800 for your horses. They are out back, with tack, bridle, and saddle already.
Ezekial Ikwiano heads out back and hops on his horse.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Agility (Acrobat +2) [1d12+2 = 5]
Honest Doug: Akbar! These are favored customers of Ms. Grey! Please, bring the mounting stool and the rest of their gear.
Honest Doug leads the group out back.
Zach Dallas: ARGH DAMMIT I HATE THAT WOMAN
Ezekial Ikwiano: She bought us horses. That aint no reason to be hatefull.
There are four very nice looking stallions out back, with expensive looking saddles and gear.
[w] Zach Dallas: I'm hunching my horse. What was the last unnatural thing to have happened to it?
Uriel Iscariot: Dont be a blushin. We all know she suited you quite well, months back.
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting [1d10 = 7]
Uriel Iscariot has been awarded a benny
Zach Dallas prod's Uriel
[w] -> Zach Dallas: It looks like the horseshoes are enchanted to give you a riding bonus.
Zach Dallas: Stop that
[w] Zach Dallas: when was that applied?
Uriel Iscariot: What? did I club you with some brutal honesty?
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting [1d10 = 5]
Stinky Pete: She must have known you were quite a card
Ezekial Ikwiano: She left your heart in Dodge.
Zach Dallas prods Pete
GM: So the party has horses now, or are you looking a gift horse in the mouth?
Zach Dallas: You too
Uriel Iscariot: You were after all, a diamond in the rough
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): I have a horse
Stinky Pete: At least she didn't have him spade
GM: So, leaving town on horses?
Uriel Iscariot: Yep.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): yeppers indeed
The group rides out to Blank's Springs. It is noon by the time you arrive. The town is...eerily...quiet.
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 7]
Ezekial Ikwiano fires a shot into the air.
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 2]
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [1d8+2 = 11]
Ezekial Ikwiano: Anybody home?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d4 = 2]
Cynthia Grey walks out of a house.
Cynthia Grey: Yes, but I recommend you bring those fine looking stallions with you and come in the house with me.
Cynthia Grey gestures for you to follow her.
Uriel Iscariot: Guts {+3 Veteran} [1d6+3 = 13]
TADM: Uriel passes. Barely.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): I NEED A 13!!!!
GM: The horses follow her, if you want to NOT follow her, you will have to dismount.
Ezekial Ikwiano dismounts
Uriel Iscariot: DOMINATION CHECK
GM: So who is not going into the house with her?
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} +2 (Novice Power Penalty -2) [1d6 = 5]
Uriel Iscariot: No horseplay!
GM: Uriel's horse stops.
Zach Dallas gets off the horse, but follows. He pockets his hands.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): I'll go in
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): So far, all she has done to me is buy me dinner and a horse
Zach Dallas: I'll bite
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): ROFL
Ezekial Ikwiano: I don't have much reason to be skeptical
Stinky Pete: Grrr...this isn't going to end well
Zach Dallas: Of course not.
Zach Dallas: She knows, by the way
Zach Dallas nods toward Pete
GM: You walk inside the house, a large mirror on the side wall is shattered, bullet casings line the floor, and it looks like the former occupants were each shot with a shotgun at close range.
Ezekial Ikwiano: You boys are too negative
Stinky Pete ties his horse to the hitching post, then goes inside
Ezekial Ikwiano: I guess I been here before
Uriel Iscariot does what stinky did
GM: The windows are intact though, but the front door has been shot off the hinges.
Cynthia Grey whistles.
GM: The ropes holding the horses to the hitching post fall free. The horses tied to the hitching post come inside with the group and move to the back of the room.
Zach Dallas facepalms
Zach Dallas: Of course. The horse shoes
Zach Dallas: Didn't realize you could pull that with animals
The room is just large enough for four horses and five people to be in it and still be able to move comfortably.
Cynthia Grey: If you were looking for the inhabitants of Blank's Springs, I'm afraid you'll find them all in this condition.
Uriel Iscariot: Notice [1d6 = 3]
Ezekial Ikwiano: I don't care, I'm lookin' for Dr. Carr
Cynthia Grey: See, this is a rather large and elaborate trap, but not for you, and not for the good Thaddeus Carr, who I met with a few hours ago and he is heading around this town.
Zach Dallas: Notice [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6 = 4]
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [1d8+2 = 8]
Cynthia Grey: Oh, no problem, shortly now you can feel free to go find him.
Ezekial Ikwiano: If the trap wasn't fo us, why'd you buy horses for us to pick up?
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): what condition is she talking about?
Ezekial Ikwiano: Seems like a waste o money if you wasn't even after us
TADM: The "dead" condition.
[w] -> Stinky Pete: You hear sounds of noisy laughter coming from a saloon down the street.
Uriel Iscariot: Okay....then...would you be so polite as to declare the nature of this trap?
Zach Dallas: Why do YOU care?
Cynthia Grey: You finding Thaddeus Carry serves my purpose and hurts an enemy of mine.
Cynthia Grey: This trap is...well...it is best to watch it unfold for now.
Zach Dallas: Who was it targetting?
Cynthia Grey sits down in a rocking chair after knocking a corpse's hand off it and begins rocking while looking out the window.
Cynthia Grey: Patience cuddle bunny.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Ok, you can stay in here and be crazy then.
Zach Dallas twitches
Ezekial Ikwiano: I'm gonna go find this guy and get my reward money
Cynthia Grey: Oh, that's fine, go outside. Bear in mind, if you do, you will die.
Ezekial Ikwiano: What?
[w] Uriel Iscariot: GM can I steer the horsey outside to check things out?
Ezekial Ikwiano: There's bears out there?
Zach Dallas: Hundreds, I presume
Zach Dallas: Quite the trap
Grace Evans: Stone, you and your gang are done bird-dogging this country!
[w] -> Uriel Iscariot: No.
Zach Dallas cringes
Zach Dallas: If it isn't Uriel's fiance
Ezekial Ikwiano: I thought priests was all virgins
Judith Evans: Come now Gracie, if it turns out that they don't want to play, we just blow up the saloon!
Stinky Pete cringes at the picture of a pregnant nun
Zach Dallas: fiance, prior to marriage. Still a virgin
Cynthia Grey points out the window at the nice clear view you have of the saloon down the street, and the two women standing in front of it.
Nick (Stinky Pete): Line from "Whose Line": Virginity *pause* abolished in Southern California
Zach Dallas: What is with you and trying to kill your own family?
A hard faced man and five others step out of the saloon and stare at the women across from them.
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 3]
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [1d8+2 = 5]
Ezekial Ikwiano: Notice [1d6 = 11]
Stinky Pete is using a benny
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6+2 = 4]
Cynthia Grey: What an amusing thing to say, cuddle bunny.
[w] Zach Dallas: Deal for Deflection
Uriel Iscariot takes notes on a piece of paper.
Zach Dallas pulls out a hand of cards to test his luck
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Two pair, twos and sevens.
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting [1d6 = 5]
Stone: Hello little girls, what brings you out to California?
Grace Evans: To restore a little justice to the world.
Nick (Stinky Pete): hums "I wish they all could be California girls"
Judith Evans: And visit Shan Fan, they have nice silks there.
Judith Evans: And oh...look behind you.
Stone laughs.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): how far away are they?
TADM: About 40'
[w] Zach Dallas: and can I aim a Blast?
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Yes.
[w] Zach Dallas: I will position myself near the window, open up an Aim maneuver, and wait for the cue to nuke him
There is a loud "whump" noise as something very large hits Stone and sends him flying into the street. Chunks of him go flying into the street in a different direction from his body as a familiar sounding noise erupts from the saloon.
Zach Dallas ducks down by the window, one hand in his pocket and the other steadying himself
Rita Evans: Take that bastard!
Ezekial Ikwiano pulls out his Carbine
Rita Evans stomps out from the saloon using Machvellian's power suit.
Grace Evans opens fire.
Judith Evans opens fire.
Cynthia Grey: Interesting.
Stinky Pete gives the suit 5 minutes before it's destroyed or stolen
GM: Within a couple seconds, the men with Stone are quite dead.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): it's already been stolen
Cynthia Grey: Very interesting.
Zach Dallas: Is this the trap you were speaking about?
[w] Zach Dallas: who out there had a shotgun?
TADM: No, actually, it was borrowed, Machvellian let her have it in exchange for Rita leaving her and Doctor Bailey alone.
[w] -> Zach Dallas: The bad guys with Stone.
Uriel Iscariot: Uh....Somehow, it seems to me grey, that you could have carried out that execution yourself.
Cynthia Grey laughs.
Uriel Iscariot: I don't see where this is going. Hurp. Derp.
Stone gets back to his feet, fully reformed.
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d6 = 4]
Stone: You bitches...
Stinky Pete: Notice {+2 Alertness(S)} [Trait roll was a natural 1] [1d6+2 = 4]
Uriel Iscariot: Kn Occult {+2 Honey Vial} [1d6+2 = 7]
Stone opens fire.
Zach Dallas interrupts by launching an exploding card into his face
[w] Zach Dallas: can I deal for that?
Stinky Pete slowly moves away from Zach and the window
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Two pair, 8s and Ks.
Zach Dallas: Spellcasting [1d6 = 15]
Zach Dallas: Blast 2 damage [2d6 = 12]
The card hits Stone and explodes. It does not seem to faze him.
TADM: You did not beat his toughness.
Cynthia Grey: And Death came for Them on Swift Wings. The Seals were broken and the World was changed.
Judith Evans: Gracie!
Judith Evans: You bastard!
Zach Dallas looks surprised
Grace Evans erupts into fire as a barrage of bullets hit her.
Zach Dallas: What the hell?
Uriel Iscariot: NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Rita Evans charges Stone.
Rita Evans punches him with drill bit and pins him to the ground.
Stone laughs and shoots her in the head repeatedly.
Zach Dallas: Get out of there!
Zach Dallas: Judith, RUN!
Zach Dallas: Grey, you KNOW how to kill that
Judith Evans: Try this on for size bastard!
Nick (Stinky Pete): destroyed wins out, I see
Cynthia Grey: Kill Death? No, I do not know how to kill a Reckoner. But someone who does is coming.
TADM: Actually, the Suit is just fine, it needs some cleaning in the cockpit though.
[w] Zach Dallas: Deal for Detect Manitou
Judith Evans hurls a stream of explosive cards at Stone.
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Manitous? Oh HELL YES! The Gates of the Hell have opened and flooded out.
[w] Zach Dallas: shit ton of Manitou everywhere?
TADM: Fear Level is currently -6.
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Oh yes, outside the house this area is completely infested.
Ezekial Ikwiano: Shooting: LeMat Carbine (Marksman +2, Medium Range -2, -6) [1d12-6 = 0]
Stone: And those little cards are supposed to bother me?
Zach Dallas: Oh-----damn
[w] Zach Dallas: how are they relating with Stone? Or can I even see him now?
Stone weathers the series of explosions without even flinching.
[w] -> Zach Dallas: Imagine a horde of worshippers before their god. You get the idea.
Stone fires one shot at Judith and drops her.
Feneril (Ezekial Ikwiano): at least we have good cover in this house
Zach Dallas: There are a LOT of Manitou out there
Cynthia Grey: Well cuddle bunny, time for the final part of this game to end. The two queens have to form a checkmate.
Zach Dallas: That thing is a god to them
Cynthia Grey gets out a whip.
Ezekial Ikwiano: You a kinky bitch
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): anything odd about the whip?
Cynthia Grey: Stay inside cuddle bunny, maybe I'll see you in Hell. Or maybe we are already there.
Zach Dallas: Notice [1d4 = 3]
Cynthia Grey looks at Zeke and gives him a glance that is definitely in the "I'll make your eyeballs sweat," category.
Uriel Iscariot: Godspeed.
Stone: So, the fodder is gone?
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 = 25]
[w] -> Uriel Iscariot: The spell actually works.
Tack (Uriel Iscariot): ITS A MIRACLE!!!!
Isabella DeMerini: Yes, they are.
Isabella DeMerini: Pity you killed them.
Stone: Pity? You pity me?
Isabella DeMerini: Maybe.
Ezekial Ikwiano: I pity da foo
Cynthia Grey: Stone, handsome man that you are. Hugs and kisses!
Stone swivels to point his gun at Cynthia.
Isabella DeMerini: That's right dangerous thing to do.
Cynthia Grey snaps whip and hits his gun, sending it flying.
Zach Dallas does she appear affected by Uriel?
Stone draws second gun and shoots Cynthia, who DODGES thanks to the Godpseed on her.
Isabella DeMerini starts shooting at Stone while running toward the gun that Cynthia knocked aside.
Uriel Iscariot laughs to himself.
Cynthia Grey dives back inside the house.
Cynthia Grey: Guess God is on our side today, preacher.
[w] Zach Dallas: anything supernatural about the gun?
Stone fires at Isabella. He shoots eighteen shots out of his revolver in six seconds. Without reloading.
Uriel Iscariot is flabbergasted.
Cynthia Grey: He cheats.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): with both hands....
Isabella DeMerini dives through the hail of ammunition, rolls, grabs gun, and fires it once.
Stone's head flies off.
Cynthia Grey claps.
Cynthia Grey: Good shot!
Isabella DeMerini drops to the ground.
Uriel Iscariot Attempts to cast whirlwind as to spread stone too far to reconstitute
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): was she injured?
Cynthia Grey: Oh Zach, you might want to grab the book in her backpack before she vanishes.
Stone's body evaporates into dust.
Zach Dallas jumps out the window and heads down towards her pack
Uriel Iscariot: Faith {+2 Conviction} +2 (Novice Power Penalty -2) [1d10 = 8]
Ezekial Ikwiano goes for the gun she took off stone
Fear level is now -2.
The guns vanished.
Stinky Pete is not exactly sure what to do, so stays with the horses
Uriel Iscariot Runs to Isabella
[w] -> Zach Dallas: She seems to be very dead.
Isabella DeMerini's body shimmers and dissipates into nothingness.
Uriel Iscariot Stops running.
[w] Zach Dallas: nab the book and cross, but I would alos like to get a Hunch off on her before she vanishes
Ezekial Ikwiano does the hustle.
Cynthia Grey: Bye bye, it's your turn to hang out at the Gates of Hell for a while. Say "hi" to Charon for me!
[w] Zach Dallas: not touching either relic with my right hand
[w] -> Zach Dallas: All are successful, remind me and I will whisper the hunch to you in a bit.
Cynthia Grey: What a sweetheart.
Cynthia Grey: She's such a goody two-shoes. And next time she comes back, she won't be split into all those cute little Evan's sisters.
Ezekial Ikwiano: I have no idea what just happened, but is Dr. Carr still around here, cause I still got my eye on that reward
Cynthia Grey: Thanks for saving my life preacher, I guess God likes sinners sometimes too.
Cynthia Grey laughs at Zeke.
Uriel Iscariot: I don't.....understand....
Cynthia Grey: You know, tall dark and handsome. Carr is about an hour north of here, short ride, just follow the trail.
Stinky Pete: Of course he does. Otherwise, he wouldn't like anyone

Cynthia Grey: And next time we have a chance at a hotel, I think you and I need to test out that "kinky bitch" theory.
TADM: Thanks for humoring the monologuing by the GM, but that had been foreshadowed for a lot of the campaign. And is important for many events in the rest of the campaign.
Kazemi (Zach Dallas): Would that have been any different if we had gotten any of the Evans Sisters killed?
TADM: Yes.
TADM: But I will not divulge further.

Stinky Pete: No, but it's rolling right along
Campaign saved.
