Re: Chapter 6.2: Pow Wow on the Mountain ((Bear Butte))
The Braves continue to urge their horses away from the mighty dragon. One of them makes for the giant glowing portal that is slowly shrinking. He takes a shot at the puma heading that same way.
{BANG!}
The bullet hits the ground near Thunder Walker's paws, sending a cascade of dirt and stone up to strike him, but not otherwise harming him.
The furthers Ravenite looks around. This was rapidly becoming untenable, and he was not eager to face the guardians of the dead nor the enormous river dragon floating in the sky. He had died once already. It was time to get out of here.
He turned his horse away from the battle, which it was eager to do anyhow. He could blame his cowardice on the horse. The Hooded One would understand that, right? No, better to make it look as if he were just looking for a better shot. He raised his rifle and fired at the red-haired man fighting Rotten Bear Killer.
{BANG!}
The Harrowed Gunslinger reigned in his horse. "Stupid thing!" He growled. "Stop moving, you idjit!" Once the mount was under control, he sighted along his Winchester's barrel. "Alright, Steve. Time to put you down for a small dirt nap."
{CRACK!}
The bullet hit Koshari's host right in the chest, sending the deader staggering...
While this was going on, the Brujo glared at the bunny hopping across the battlefield. "Oh no, you don't." He growled, and spurred his mount right at the fleeing Rabbit! Hooves thundered around Rabbit as the horse attempted to stomp her flat, but her speed and agility saved the day again, saving her from harm.
Raven faced down the horse-faced guardian.
"Spirits of snake, guide my hands as I strike!" He intoned. Ghostly serpents wound around his arms as he sent another barrage of strikes at Horse Face. But the guardian blocked them all. The Hooded One took a step back and gauged his foe. "Hrmph."
Jeremy's sword bit deep into the giant Harrowed's flesh, drawing a line of black blood across his wolf-furred chest.
"Good! Good!" The giant grinned. He didn't seem to feel the wound at all. "Now die!"
And then he launched another series of hideously fast blows, all aimed at battering Jeremy's brains out. Again and again he struck, until the vclub caught his jaw, and he saw stars...
And then, while he was recovering from the blow, he heard a distant {BANG!} and felt hot lead tear into his shoulder...
((OOC: So there are 3 Ravenite braves left. One is Shaken, two are not.
12:46, Today: Ravenite Braves rolled 3 using 1d8, rerolling max with rolls of 3. Unshake.
The Ravenite near Ox Head does not unshake.
The Ravenite nearest to the Yuan tries to get away from the big friggin dragon, and moves closer to the portal. he actually gets pretty close to it, and can take a shot at Thundercat. He has a -2 Unsteady Platform penalty.
12:48, Today: Ravenite Braves rolled 4 using 1d10-2, rerolling max with rolls of 6. Shooting (Unsteady Platform). Hit.
Damage: 5. Thundercat is stung, but not seriously hurt.
The remaining Ravenite, located at the lower portion of the map, decides to start trying to get while the getting's good and starts moving away from the fight. He takes a potshot at Jeremy so he can claim later he was just "looking for a better position." He has a -2 Unsteady Platform penalty.
12:51, Today: Ravenite Braves rolled 6 using 1d10-2, rerolling max with rolls of 8. Shooting (Unsteady Platform). Hit.
Damage: 15 (AP 2). With Jeremy's Armor up, that's 1 Wound.
The Harrowed Gunfighter continues shooting at his possessed teammate.
12:54, Today: Thunder Guard rolled 18,10 using d10,d6, rerolling max with rolls of (10+8)18,(6+4)10. Shooting. Hit and Raise
Damage: 12, which will be 1 Wound unless the Harrowed soaks (he has 1 fate chip).
The Brujo is thoroughly annoyed with Rabbit and tries to run her down with his horse. He has to rely on the Horse's attack roll.
12:59, Today: Thunder Guard rolled -3 using 1d8-4, rerolling max with rolls of 1. Fighting (Small Target). Miss.
The Hooded One is fighting Ox Head. He opts to take multiple actions -- he casts Boost Fighting on himself and then makes a Frenzy Attack on Horse Face. He suffers a -2 MAP.
13:09, Today: Raven rolled 8,0 using d12-2,d6-2, rerolling max with rolls of 10,2. Tribal Medicine. Success and Raise, for +2 steps to his fighting. This gives him Fighting d12+2, which means he cancels out the MAP this round.

Raven's card: 10C
Moving on to RBK's turn.
RBK has 1 round left on Quickness before he has to maintain it. I also need to resolve a Soak roll for RBK. He spends a Fate Chip to attempt to soak.
13:23, Today: Rotten Bear Killer rolled 7,7 using d12+2,d6+2, rerolling max with rolls of 5,5. Soak.
RBk returns the favor with a series of attacks. First, a Frenzied Wild Attack:

13:24, Today: Rotten Bear Killer rolled 10 using 1d10+2, rerolling max with rolls of 8. Whoops, missed a roll.
1 Hit, no raise.
Damage: 17 (AP 2), which is Shaken and 1 Wound for Jeremy is he doesn't soak.
His next action is a regular Frenzy attack.
13:28, Today: Rotten Bear Killer rolled 1,2,3 using d10,d10,d6, rerolling max with rolls of 1,2,3. Fighting (Improved Frenzy). wut? Anyhoo, No hits.

Thundercat was hit, but the damage was negligible.
The Possessed Harrowed Gunslinger was hit and must soak 1 Wound.
Rabbit was attacked, but the attack missed.
Horse Face was attacked, but the attacks missed.

There is a Ravenite getting close to the portal.
