Chapter 23: Hidden Canyon
In reply to Judge Messalen (msg # 57):
"I'd leave him be, 'less he pops up an' starts shootin' at us," Jake replied to Mister Windham's inquiry about stepping around to the other end of the little rise and checking on the lookout that he had shot. To the Texan's way of thinking, the other side of the rise was way too exposed to gunfire from the owlhoots back around the campfire -- not to mention that if the lookout still had any fight in him, he would have a short-range shot at Windham as soon as he rounded the side of the hillock.
Given the range involved, Jake was primarily concerned with men who had rifles or carbines. He had seen one fellow shoot at someone behind him and knew that he had some sort of a longarm, so he targeted him, aimed, and took his shot.
OOC:
Free Action: Speak to Tracy.
Action: 18:20, Today: Jacob Richardsen rolled 1,4 using d10,d6, rerolling max with rolls of 1,4.
Edit: Damage: 19:16, Today: Jacob Richardsen rolled 6 using 2d8 with rolls of 1,5. Damage (Winchester).
Notes: I believe that Jake has two positive Modifiers: the Marksman Edge (+2, since he did not move this round), and Improved Trademark Weapon (+2). I think that the hombre who fired at ENS dropped prone, and there is probably a negative range modifier also, so I thought it best to ask the Judge to adjudicate the result of Jake's shot.
