The Indians kept charging on, their warcries filling the air.


Action: For the first six turns, they only do all-out defense dodge (until the distance is down to 128 yards).

Comanche are at (14,188) to (-14,188), with each even number occupied by a comanche.


Ben fires two shots at the oncoming Comanche, without effect, from behind a wagon. he is down 2 shots (out of 15 loaded I think?)

Daisy is in a wagon and can act.

Earnest is at (6,6) and can act.

Position questions:

Which wagon is Daisy in? (Left[-] or Right[+], and is she in the middle of the wagon, at the outside edge, or the inside edge?

similarly, which wagon and which corner is Ben behind?

Mari, Which Comanche are spears and which are bows?

When shooting, please state if you're shooting at a spear or a bow, and if you're targeting on the left, right, or center (handedness favors cowboys, and right is positive on the map).

From left to right: Spear, Bow, Spear, Bow, etc.

Left wagon, edge facing the Comanches.


Daisy braces herself and takes Aim with her Spencer.

Earnest takes Aim with his Winchester and lets Laith* continue cantering forward.




* His horse.

Comanche from (14,176) to (-14,176), taking all out defense.

Earnest at (8,8), with one round of aim (please specify weapon type of target and general position in line*).

Daisy at either (-4,-1) or (-1,-1) and with one round of aim (please specify weapon type of target and general position in line*)

Ben at either (4,-2) or (1,-2) and has just fired, missing both shots.

*for example, "spear on my left" OR "bow in center" OR "horse of spear on my right"

Re. Targets:  Seeing Earnest break right, Daisy is aiming at the horse of a Spear wielder on the right, and Earnest is aiming at the horse of a Bow wielder also on the right.

Ok, we need actions from the cowpokes (this is the third round)

Ben will aim

Did his horse slow down for some reason?  Going from (6,6) to (8,8) is not a full Move of 8.

By my calculations he should be at (11,11)*.


*It's actually (5.5,5.5) and then (11,11)

Okay, nevermind the above post, Laith is moving at 6, so...


Earnest continues Aiming and tries to urge Laithe into a charge (he shouts "HAH!").

15:21, Today: evileeyore rolled 5 using 3d6.  Earnest, Hands Free Riding 13. MoS +8.

Daisy also continues Aiming.

In case anyone is waiting for me, this still stands:

Comanche from (14,164) to (-14,164), taking all out defense.

I think responding to a minimal command to go faster is a mount roll, not a riding roll, but I'll accept the 5 as the mount roll (the horses all have mount-12). Laith succeeds and increases speed to 12. Earnest at (16,16), with two rounds of aim at a bow wielder on the right.

Daisy at either (-4,-1) or (-1,-1) and with two round of aim at a spear wielder on the right. (please specify if you are at (-4,-1) or (-1,-1))

Ben at either (4,-2) or (1,-2) is aiming (please specify your target, and which of the two positions you are at)

Erm...  what's the difference between them?  Which corner of the wagon she's at?


Regardless Daisy continues aiming.

Earnest takes two rapid shots at the (bow wielder on the far right's) horse and misses (by this >< much)!



12:36, Today: evileeyore rolled 11 using 3d6.  Rifle skill 10 (Skill 16 - 11 SSR + 1 TE + 4 ACC).  Rapid Fire, 2 shots (14/16).

Modifier breakdown:  Speed 12 + Range 48 = 160 = -12 + SM+1 = -11 SSR.  Rapid Fire 2 shots, no bonus, Tracer Eyes for +1.  ACC 3 + 1 extra round of aim = +4

Correct. Is she she in the right corner (to the outside of the group) or the left corner (to the inside of the group?)

We'll go with outside corner for now, can always move later.

Ben takes another shot and misses again.

Comanche from (14,152) to (-14,152), taking all out defense.

Daisy at (-4,-1) with three rounds of aim at a spear wielder on the right.

Ben at either (4,-2) or (1,-2) and with 12 shots left. Vulco, which location is Ben at?

Earnest at (24,24), with 13 shots in his winchester.

In reply to Derrick (msg # 26):

He's at 1,-2.  And He's going to aim again.

14 shots, it's 15+1.

Daisy continues Aiming.

Earnest begins Aiming at the same target again.

Comanche from (14,140) to (-14,140), taking all out defense.

Daisy at (-4,-1) with four rounds of aim at a spear wielder on the right.

Ben at (1,-2) down 3 shots and with one round of aim (at who? please specify)

Earnest at (32,32), down 2 shots and with one round of aim at bow wielder on the right

Daisy and Earnest fire..  Daisy fires center of mass on her target*  but Earnest's shots again go wide!






OOC:  * Remember, she's firing on the horse, which is making Move maneuvers.

19:40, Today: evileeyore rolled 8 using 3d6.  Daisy firing, Guns (Rifle) 9 (Skill 13 - 11 SSR + 6 ACC + 1 Bracing).
19:44, Today: evileeyore rolled 8 using 3d6+2.  Daisy's potential damage, 3d+2 pi+.

19:41, Today: evileeyore rolled 12 using 3d6.  Earnest rapid firing, Guns (Rifle) 10 (Skill 16 - 10 SSR + 3 ACC + 1 TE).

Who is the long distance marksman again?

Mari, roll dodge for the HORSE with no bonus for defense and -1 for encumbrance. Base dodge is 9. If that fails, roll for knockdown, as 8 pi+ becomes 12 wounding, and that's a major wound.

All Indians keep charging, with one horse being a little more reluctant than the others.


The horse failed the dodge, but made the HT roll for the knockdown check.
The Indians still go with all-out defense.

Mari rolled 11 using 3d6.  Dodge (8) for the horse.
Mari rolled 9 using 3d6.  Knockdown (11) for the horse.
Mari rolled 7 using 3d6.  Riding check at -4 (11).   <- This was to see if the horse gets spooked.

'Unlucky' rolls are unlucky.  I had two in that post... (Earnest's to hit and Daisy's damage, though of those two, the damage roll was the only one I'd call actually bad/unlucky).

We are waiting on Benjamin!
