some mood music
The shotglass falls from the air, and rolls along the floor.
The doors to the kitchen burst open, and in dances a dark-haired woman in a tattered white dress.
"Wanderers in that happy valley, Through two luminous windows, saw," she sings, skipping around an empty space.
"Spirits moving musically, to a lute's well-tuned law!"
She leans over and blows a kiss to nothing at all. She looks out over the room.
She nods absently as she looks around the bar. Her eyes lock on Zek. She grins. The light of madness shines in her eyes.
"Cousin dear! You're having a party and you started without me! You even brought the lone feather with you! But I don't see the man in brown, the bald one, or the bloody coal train." she shakes her finger at him.
"tsk, tsk. And I even brought some friends!"
She gestures, and suddenly a great wind whips through the bar. A dusty whirlwind with a monstrous demonic skull bursts into existence.
"Carrion walker!" it shrieks, slamming into Zek with the force of a hurricane.
"Murderer! You should have remained in your grave, for now I will feast on your tainted blood!"
Then it reverses course, and slams into Black Jack, the terrible wind threatening to smash him flat.
"Dark creeper! Voodoo child! I smell the swamp on you! I will drink the swamp out of you, until you crumble away to dust!"
As the wind whips up to gale force, the beams of the Woolly Buffalo creak, barely abele to contain the force.
"Blow, winds, and crack your cheeks!" The crazed woman laughs, shouting to be heard over the wind.
"Rage! Blow!"
((OOC: Nic Whateley spends his action monologing, though he drops the shot glass so Zek can't find him as easily, and he moves back toward the back room door. I played the Reinforcements card, so his reinforcements enter the scene at this point.
Card: 10C
The last Man in Black attempts to Unshake.
23:25, Today: Men In Black rolled 1 using 1d10, rerolling max with rolls of 1. Unshake. It does not.
Card: 4H
Dolores Whateley enters the battle, dancing around the bar to where her brother/husband is. She casts deflection Nicodemus (she has Detect Arcana up, so she can see him just fine,and she's already cast deflection on herself)
23:29, Today: Dolores Whateley rolled 2,1 using d12,d6, rerolling max with rolls of 2,1. Spellcasting. No. Spending a chip.
23:29, Today: Dolores Whateley rolled 3,14 using d12,d6, rerolling max with rolls of 3,(6+6+2)14. white chip. Success and Raise.
Attacks to hit Dolores are at -4. Attacks to hit Nicodemus are at -10 (if you can't see him) or -4 (if you can).
Oh, but wait! That's not all! Because Dolores brought along her pet Shiwana, which she unleashes on Zek and Black Jack. The Shiwana goes on her turn, creating a windstorm that catches Jack and Zek inside it!
23:38, Today: The Stray, for the NPC Shiwana, rolled 6 using 1d10, rerolling max with rolls of 6. Spirit.
23:38, Today: The Stray, for the NPC Shiwana, rolled 10 using 1d6, rerolling max with rolls of (6+4)10. Red Chip.
That's a Success and raise. Total of 16
Zek and Black Jack are caught in the sort of gale that can flatten houses. In addition to the normal effects of the windstorm spell (you are automatically blinded (-4 to most actions) and must make a Vigor roll or be Shaken, and all ranged attacks that cross the twisters' area are at -2), you also need to make a Strength roll against the Shiwana's roll above to stay standing. Fail, and you are knocked Prone
Card: RJ!. Time for another Joker's Wild.))
Turn Order:
Dolores Whateley: RJ!
Black Jack: AS
James Lonefeather: AC
Nat Love: KH
Zek: 10S
Nicodemus Whateley: 10C
Bullock: 10C
Han Lee: 9D
James Wilder: 9C
Men in Black: 4H
Maddox: On Hold
Zek, Black Jack, you need to make Strength checks (vs. 16) to remain standing, and Vigor checks (normal) or be Shaken.
