Re: Chapter 7.2: Comanche Moon ((IC))
A Charging Bear surveys the growing crowd in the Undertaker's office, the situation grow more and more grim. There were 6 Dust Addders with him before, but with the group that just arrived out of the rain there's now 10 Dust Adders in and around the shop. Ten-on-one odds are bad for anyone. Most of the Dust Adders are armed with pistols and Bowie knives. there's a certain saving grace in that the shop is crowded with so many people...he could probably make a decent stand if he flipped a table over and wedged himself in a corner, though that would leave the undertaker unprotected.
The best plan for a fight would probably be to break a window then hold the Adders off while the noncombatants ran out it. An even better plan would be to try and prevent a fight from breaking out in the first place.
"What the fuck do you mean, there ain't any other bodies here?" Maxwell shouts. "What's been done with Luke, you lily-livered son of a bitch!?"
Outside, hearing the shouting, Danielle tries to user her son away from the office, but the boy slips out of her grasp and wiggles through the doorway, to stare wide-eyed at the confrontation.
"Look, I don't know!" Underhill whimpers from behind Charging Bear. "That lady Ranger, she was running around town this morning asking after someone who got away from the shootout last night! He's probably in her custody! Go talk to her!"
Dave nudges Jesse. "Lady ranger?" he whispers to him. "You don't think it's that deputy what tried to get you hung, is it?"
[Private to GM: Todd, Maxwell, John, Carl, Jesse, Dave, Percy, Little Tom, Mike, and Frank are the Dust Adders in and around the shop.]
