For a chase you roll the appropriate skill (Agility, Boating, Drivin' etc) and for each success/raise you get a card.

Thanks!

CB is the Best Explainer.

I like the chase mechanics ... and have run some very cool chases using them. Add in a skill challenge style chase ... good times!

Welcome back, Stray!

Uh-oh...I think this is the first the Dust Adders have heard about the death curse...or Ward cursing anyone, for that matter, let alone one of theirs...

I know. }:D

Does...Ward feel slightly nervous about surrounding himself with wolves now...?

Carl isn't moving yet (this is Murphs' card "battle", and dammit he spent chips to stay sneaky there), but it should be clear he had no idea about the curse, and neither would Murphs...Murphs wouldn't know a thing about any of this firsthand, either, as he'd have been at home...he'd probably have heard that Nate died in a duel whose conditions were "you win, you get a horse and a free road out of here; you lose and I make certain neither you nor your family get shamed by you dying on the gallows."

I haven't fired it yet... :-)

That too. Though this fight is beginning to remind me of Wildcat's story about Shoe Girl and the Worst Bandit...

I think it's kinda funny how outraged Ghost Wolf is about the crimes of whites here. If you look at historical accounts from other tribes in Comancheria about what the Comanche had done to them over the years...you'd hear some pretty messed up stuff to put it mildly. They routinely tortured people, killed without reason, a lot of rape was involved as well. Not that I'm justifying the conduct of the white settlers in their lands, but the Comanche are not the paragons of virtue they're pretending to be here.

Hypocrisy is not an exclusively white phenomenon.

Maria (who's actually pregnant by her last master) would certainly agree with you.

On the other hand - and equally, not taking sides but just to be fair here - a) offences by settlers against Comanche bands (and by outlaws passing their raids off as Comanche attacks) were basically not reported in the period any more than killing coyotes,  b) the specific post-contact arrangement of Comanche society is kind of the screwed-up Mad Max version, since they've been through a literal plague-fire-and-the-sword cultural apocalypse, and c) Ghost Wolf personally has experienced grieviances he can't fit into his cultural framework.

In re: c) for Ghost Wolf it's like, yes, if those guys over the river are our enemies (we've forgotten why, but it was definitely their fault) it's all right to pincushion them or roast them over a fire or whatever if you catch some poor teenager out taking a shit, but to do that to someone whose community are not Enemies...that makes no sense at all to him. Add in things like gold (it doesn't make tools or weapons - what's it for?) and ghost rock (they burn this stuff to amuse themselves maybe? Then people get sick and the water tastes bad and sources we've relied on for generations becomes toxic, even to the settlers doing it - why do they do it?) and maybe you can see where he's coming from.

Basically he wants acknowledgement to come to an understanding with, and help to understand what would be "better", how that works and why without being completely disenfranchised, stripped of dignity and deemed unperson/expendable as was the norm for tribal leaders attempting to compromise. He's not after white guilt (his people can't eat that). Hell, you could offer him horses, flour and iron and he'd be happy with that, as it's something he could grasp.

Y'know, I'd assumed he'd been reclaiming the same 1-2 flask/s "off-camera", but by the amount of whiskey Adrian's provided over the course of the night I begin to suspect that turning him upside-down and shaking him would result in a small heap of stored alcohol.

Also I need more animal metaphors for Wildcat, I think. She considered calling Nate a worthless worm but then thought that was too good for his jackassery...

An undead man has to stay pickled. I had assumed he had been refilling his flasks off camera as well. Some people are loaded with bullets, others with whiskey. In seriousness, over the last several months I've probably lost track of how much whiskey Adrian has consumed and how much refilling he's needed to do. :)

He needs bottle-holsters, I think. Or a seriously hardcore beer hat (I wonder if Smith & Robards'...?).

He needs a Camelbak. Maybe Marshal Evans can rig me up one of those.

You...can tell me if I want to know what that is when I am awake again. [nod]

...

Well, first I'd need to find a camel...

A Camelback is a backpack that can be filled with liquid and has a straw you can sip from.

What he said:

In many cases, these are used by athletes and physically active people to hold water. In other cases, they are used to contain alcohol of various sorts.

...and ne'er the twain shall meet?

Evans, go peel Jake off the ground and hydrate him or something.

Feeling loved X_x

Or he could send Jackie to check up on you...

Random thought...it's been about a year since our last Advance.

Next Chapter break or significant dead thing, I think. Stray?
