Re: Prelude: Luck o' The Irish ((Mad Irish Murphy))
07:39, Today: Mad Irish Murphy rolled 3,19 using d6-2,d6-2, rerolling max with rolls of 5,(6+6+6+3)21. Riding. Would've done it in one go, too, if I didn't have that second horse! Why do I have a second horse, btw?
07:40, Today: Mad Irish Murphy drew the single card: KD using the Deadlands system. Dramatic Task.
Round2:
07:42, Today: Mad Irish Murphy rolled -1,2 using d6-2,d6-2, rerolling max with rolls of 1,4. Riding, white chip. Takes care of the critical failure. Should've left that second horse behind for the private.
07:42, Today: Mad Irish Murphy rolled -1,-1 using d6-2,d6-2, rerolling max with rolls of 1,1. Riding.
07:42, Today: Mad Irish Murphy drew the single card: JS using the Deadlands system. Dramat Task, continued.

07:44, Today: Mad Irish Murphy rolled 1 using 1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 1. Riding, extra d6 red chip. Oh really? That's all you give me after that sweet roll of 19 you fickle dice-rolling SOB?
07:44, Today: Mad Irish Murphy rolled 2,1 using d6-2,d6-2, rerolling max with rolls of 4,3. Riding, white chip. Why do I have that second horse again?

Round 4:
07:45, Today: Mad Irish Murphy drew the single card: AC using the Deadlands system. Dramatic Task. ....and a complication!

Round 5 (seriously? Who would've thought I'd need 5 rounds to do that after that first roll?)
07:47, Today: Mad Irish Murphy drew the single card: 2S using the Deadlands system. Dramat Task, continued.
07:47, Today: Mad Irish Murphy rolled 1,3 using d6-2,d6-2, rerolling max with rolls of 3,5. Riding. Of course, that second horse again. So I guess I spend my last chip (red) to get that 1 extra point I need. Don't need to roll that, do I?
Murphy trotts steadily into the river, pushing and cajoling his mounts on. At first it seems like easy going, but then the riverbed is treacherous and while Embarr is quite willing to go on, Hoss stalls, whinying in fear. "Easy, easy, come one you scared bastard!"
But Hoss is adamant at standing there and slowly freeze rather than drown quickly, so Murphy needs several attempts going back and forth until finally making it to the other side - soaking wet and out of breath. But at least he didn't have to pass the dead soldier within his reach.
"Wonder if he's going after the Comanches now? Wouldn't mind that one bit. Come now, boys, come. Let's get you somewhere dry."
He reassuringly strokes Hoss behind the ears. Not every horse could be as brave as Embarr, after all.
"Would've been easier if I left you at the ranch. But all is good now, come."
He clicks his tongue and trots on.
