Used JC (Deadly Blow).

Intention! Barring convincing reason not to forthcoming before the Stray gets home from work, the dreaded Frying Pan card will be in play. PCs should bear in mind that a thunderstorm approaches, Alouette is the nearest thing to a metal pole in the vicinity, and everyone is standing in a wet street.

KH - Contact
“Reggie. You old scoundrel. How you’ve been?”
Spend a red or blue chip. Your hero sees an old friend or acquaintance who might help him in his current quest somehow. Of course, he may also ask for a favor in return. If you spent a red chip, the Marshal gets a draw from the fate pot.

BJ! - Quick Funeral
“I guess it wasn’t my time.”
Play on any character that has died. That character returns to the game harrowed. However, the Manitou
has control of that character for the first 24 hours after he has risen.

4S - Last Stand
“Stand together now!”
Spend a red or blue chip. Your hero and any adjacent allies gain +2 Parry and Toughness. Allies who move into contact after the card is played gain the bonus as well. The effect ends when a Joker is dealt. The Marshal gets to draw a random chip from the fate pot.

After just mentioning to another player that chips can't be used to enhance damage, Wildcat proves me wrong by using her QC (Bull's eye) Card.

Well played, Wildcat. Well Played.

Posting here before I forget, and stealing Adrian's table because it's pretty sweet.


A sad history of rolls:
22:53, Thu 01 Dec: August Colby drew the 3 cards: AD, QH, RJ! using the Deadlands system with rolls of . Adventure cards.
23:05, Thu 01 Dec: August Colby drew the 2 cards: QH, KD using the Deadlands system. Adventure card rerolls, bah.
23:09, Thu 01 Dec: August Colby drew the single card: 6D using the Deadlands system. Another adventure card re-draw.
23:09, Thu 01 Dec: August Colby drew the single card: KC using the Deadlands system. Another adventure card!
23:16, Thu 01 Dec: August Colby drew the single card: 4D using the Deadlands system. Adventure card ahoy.

Reckon' I'll be playing that card now...

I'm going to go ahead and use my 7S - Karma Thief card to take a chip from Alistair Milburn - the best chip he's got! :)

Alistair is not a Wildcard. Still, you can have one of my Red Chips for your efforts.

Well, I won't argue with you there!

Karma Thief is back in the deck, peoples :)

KC - Not Today
“Missed me. Now it’s my turn.”
Play after any other character’s attack roll to cause it to automatically fail. This is a critical failure. The Marshal gets a draw from the fate pot.

6S - Renown
“You’re the one who defeated the dragon of Innsburg?”
Play after completing a good deed of some import. You gain a permanent +1 Charisma bonus toward those who have heard of you (typically a 50% chance). Charisma bonuses from multiple Renown cards do not stack.

4H- Folk Hero
“He robbed from the rich and gave to the poor...”
Play after you save a group of people from dire circumstances. The community adopts you and your party as local heroes, and you can always find aid there.

Keeping my own KC, drawing...

5D - Spurred On
“Ride hard and we should make it by sundown.”
The posse’s travel distance is doubled for a day or one character gains double Pace for one encounter. If you are in a chase, this allows you to draw an extra card for the duration of the chase, and use the better of your draw.

KS - High Noon
“Let’s settle this once and for all.”
Play when in group combat. Combat stops. Your character and the leader of the opposing group settle the fight with a one-on-one duel.

9C - Let’s Settle This
“You gonna skin that smokewagon or just stand there and bleed?”
Spend a fate chip and play at the beginning of a combat round with no Jokers. No character can soak wounds until a Joker is drawn.

For Alouette and Carl.

Keeping my Relic and drawing 3 new cards

08:24, Today: Charging Bear drew the 3 cards: 9S, 8C, JC using a deck of 54 cards. Adventure Cards.

RJ! - Relic
“This is the sword that cleft the witchking from crotch to chin.”
Play after accomplishing an important task. An item associated with your victory gains magical powers.

JC - Deadly Blow
“Oooh! That’ll leave a mark!”
Spend a fate chip and play after damage is rolled to double the total of a successful melee attack.

8C - Riled Up
“That hurt. Now it’s my turn.”
Play after your hero sustains at least one wound. His attacks cause +2 damage for the remainder of the scene.

9S - Revelation
“I read about this once…”
Your hero finds all the information available when doing research, or realizes critical information when confronting some obstacle such as a monster’s weakness, the answer to a riddle or cipher, etc. The Marshal gets a draw from the fate pot.

I'll keep my other two cards and draw a replacement for the Quick Funeral.

KH - Contact
“Reggie. You old scoundrel. How you’ve been?”
Spend a red or blue chip. Your hero sees an old friend or acquaintance who might help him in his current quest somehow. Of course, he may also ask for a favor in return. If you spent a red chip, the Marshal gets a draw from the fate pot.
4S - Last Stand
“Stand together now!”
Spend a red or blue chip. Your hero and any adjacent allies gain +2 Parry and Toughness. Allies who move into contact after the card is played gain the bonus as well. The effect ends when a Joker is dealt. The Marshal gets to draw a random chip from the fate pot.
7H - Eulogy
“Arthur was a good man. Not so good with explosives, but a good man…”
Play after a PC dies and say a few words about his life to your comrades. Every PC present gets to draw 2 random fate chips. If at the end of an adventure, the extra draw occurs in the next game session.
QD - Windfall
“Solid gold goodness!”
Spend a fate chip and play when your hero searches an area for treasure, loots a fallen foe, etc. He finds everything that can be found in that location. If rolling on a random table, the character gets the best possible result.

Only swapping one card, leaving...
KC - Not Today
“Missed me. Now it’s my turn.”
Play after any other character’s attack roll to cause it to automatically fail. This is a critical failure. The Marshal gets a draw from the fate pot.

5D - Spurred On
“Ride hard and we should make it by sundown.”
The posse’s travel distance is doubled for a day or one character gains double Pace for one encounter. If you are in a chase, this allows you to draw an extra card for the duration of the chase, and use the better of your draw.

KS - High Noon
“Let’s settle this once and for all.”
Play when in group combat. Combat stops. Your character and the leader of the opposing group settle the fight with a one-on-one duel.

aaand...

JH - Enemy
“We meet again.”
Play at the beginning of the game session. A villain of the GM’s choice becomes your character’s sworn enemy and you may not soak wounds caused directly by him. Starting now, you draw 2 extra fate chips each game session until the enemy is “retired.” You may only have one sworn enemy at a time.

...all right, the game seems determined that Alouette makes it official.

By that, you mean that drawing the King of Spades makes it official that Alouette is going to challenge the Comanche war leader to a one on one fight?

Oh no, just that it should draw extra chips for being beaten up by Gus (Gus literally beat it into incapacitation for following him around once, and shoots at it as often as possible because his snake spirit is terrified of it) until one day Gus hits it when the Hawk can actually get at him and ends up all over the ceiling.

Although I wouldn't be entirely surprised if the clank ended up having another danceoff with a powerful Comanche...

Though it's also possible Carl could use it to square off with Wildcat...

Carl needs no card for that. Besides, he needs to not die of Comanches first, and there's always the possibility Wildcat'll realise Jesse was a person/challenge Carl to a snuggle fight instead. Which he'd lose very badly and wouldn't be able to shoot her for, since snuggling would be an overtly feminine thing to do and so attacking her would be Disrespect to Wimmin.

Carl used KC *conditioningtwitch* it's super effective!
