@ Black Jack: Red will be doing his villain speech on his next turn. Please draw your next card, and it's Wilder's turn.

Logan kept his eyes peeled as they moved into the basement, taking in every detail of the scene as it seemed to erupt before him and keeping a close eye on the soldiers.

OOC:

10:44, Today: Logan West rolled 3,4 using d6,d6, rerolling max with rolls of 3,4. Notice.
06:00, Today: Logan West drew the single card: 7D using the Deadlands system.

09:36, Today: Black Jack Boudreaux drew the single card: QH using a deck of 54 cards.

The soldiers grow closer...and it's immediately apparent that something is wrong. Their uniforms are stained black, and they have dead, empty eyes and rotting flesh!

"AIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Becky shrieks as the dead soldiers charge up the stairs.

Two of them grab at Janet. "Colonel Custer requests your presence." One of them says.

The other two unlimber their Spencer Carbines and wave them at the folks at the top of the stairs. "This ain't none of your affair!" the skeletal soldier shouts.

((OOC: Fear check time! Janet, Logan, you get to make Fear Checks (-4 fear level, + grit) against horror. Von Stienhof, given you've faced them before but this is a bad situation to be facing them in, you also need to make a Fear check but it's against Fear/Nausea instead.

Becky, a Townsfolk with no training in the supernatural, actually rolls a 6 on her Guts check after the penalty, and passes. She still screams

Jackie Wells is rolling against Fear/Nausea--she's encountered the Black Regiment before, but finding them right here is unnerving. Jackie gets a 5 and passes.

The Black Regiment charge up the stairs and attempt to grab Janet. There are 4 of them, but only 2 can get at Janet at a time.

11:15, Today: The Black Regiment rolled 4,6 using d8+1,d8+1, rerolling max with rolls of 3,5. Grapple!

Janet, you need to make 2 Fighting checks to avoid being grabbed.

The other two use their action to draw their rifles and point them at the folk at the top of the stairs.

Card: 2S))

Turn Order:
The Black Regiment: KC
Freiherr von Stienhof: 10C
Jackie Wells: 7S

I Need Janet to resolve the Grapple before I proceed, because it's important to know for the dead guys to complete their action.

In reply to The Stray (msg # 181):
OOC: Unshake?
13:19, Today: James Wilder rolled 5,1 using d8,d6, rerolling max with rolls of 5,1. Unshake. That'll do it

---

Wilder shook his head to clear the cobbwebs as he mechanically dumped the half-dozen spent shells out of his pistol and replaced them with fresh ones. The motion of the unloading and reloading was a blur. He shifted the gun back to fire but the shot goes rather wide.

OOC:
13:46, Today: James Wilder rolled -1,0 using d12-2,d6-2, rerolling max with rolls of 1,2. Shooting (-2MAP). MISS!
13:47, Today: James Wilder drew the single card: 6D using a deck of 54 cards. Initiative .

Janet raised her hands and screamed.  "My gods, they're dead!  Run for it!"  She grabbed Becky's arm and started dashing up the stairs.

OOC: Got a 9 and 10 for the grapple check.  Not sure if this breaks free or not, but if it does, Janet will run and hide behind Jackie and Logan.

11:26, Today: Janet Weiss rolled 4,4 using d6,d6, rerolling max with rolls of 4,4. Fear check.
11:24, Today: Janet Weiss rolled 6,10 using d4,d6, rerolling max with rolls of (4+2)6,(6+4)10. Grapple Check 2.
11:24, Today: Janet Weiss rolled 3,9 using d4,d6, rerolling max with rolls of 3,(6+3)9. Grapple Check 1.

20:33, Today: Freiherr von Steinhof rolled 14,1 using d8-1,d6-1, rerolling max with rolls of (8+7)15,2. Fear check.

As Janet feels the clawed, bony hands clutching her, flashes of being trapped beneath burning timbers, unable to move, unable to breath...and she feels terror, pure genuine terror, creeping into her. She needs to get OUT! She must get OUT!


((OOC: Yup, those are successes, though Janet doesn't get to move until her action.

However, the Fear check is modified by both The Fear level (-4) and your Grit (+3), which means you had a -1 penalty total on the check. That means your 4 is a 3, which is a Fail. Unless you spend a chip to modify it. If you don't the fear result I rolled takes effectimmediately.))

---

Von Steinhof is up!

Nat Love calmly reaches beneath the bar, fishes out two shells, and glares at the Men in Black.

"I!" He shouts.

He cracks the breech.

"Have had!"

He slides the spent casings out.

"Enough!"

He slides the new cartridges home, and cocks back the hammers. He brings the gun up and sights along the barrel.

"Of YOU!"

{{BLAM! BLAM!}}

Two of the bandits vanish in puffs of greasy black smoke and wailing ghost rock.

((OOC: Nat Love is going to reload his gun and fire it again. He has Marksman (+2) and buckshot (+2), but he's got a Multi-Action Penalty (-2) and an Autofire Penalty (-2). One of his targets is a Medium range (-2).

12:50, Today: Nat Love rolled 4,4,3 using d8,d8-2,d6, rerolling max with rolls of 4,6,3. Shooting! Two hits.

Damage 1: 25
Damage 2: 13

Both of those are wounds, so two more Mibs go down.

Card: 6C))

In reply to The Stray (msg # 188):

At the sight of the Black Regiment soldiers Leopold merely raises an eyebrow.
"Have we not met before?"
He pulls his shiny peacemaker from his hip holster in one smooth motion and fires a single bullet into one of the undead clutching at Janet.

"You will excuse me, but I intend to talk to this woman first."

21:08, Today: Freiherr von Steinhof rolled 11 using 3d6+1, rerolling max with rolls of 4,5,1. Peacemaker Damage.

21:10, Today: Freiherr von Steinhof drew the single card: 2C using the Deadlands system. Initiative.

In reply to Nat Love (msg # 189):

(Ooc-15:14, Today: Ezekiel Starkweather drew the single card: 9C using a deck of 54 cards.)

The dead soldier disintegrates into mist. Jackie Wells lets loose with a shot from her gatling pistol, though only a single shot, which smacks the other skeletal soldier reaching for Janet.

"What he said." She says. "So I reckon we're makin' it our affair."

((OOC: Jackie lets off a single shot with her bolt gun.

13:27, Today: Jackie Wells rolled 4,1 using d10,d6, rerolling max with rolls of 4,1. Shooting! Hit.

Damage: 7, plus the soldier needs to roll Vigor or suffer Fatigue. No real damage, given it's toughness is 8.

13:29, Today: The Black Regiment rolled 5 using 1d8, rerolling max with rolls of 5. Vigor. Success. Aw, well.

Card: 2S))

Logan, it's your go!

James Lonefeather continues pouring fire on the Men in Black near Wilder. The two banidts go up in smoke...and it's a good thing, too, as Lonefeather's cylinders spin on empty.

"You alight, Wilder?" He asks.

Meanwhile, Seth Bullock also takes more shots at the bandits, this time at the one still slicing at Han Lee. It, too vanishes as he shoots it.

"Got 'em!" he says. "Lee, Cover me while I reload."

((OOC: James Lonefeather makes with the gatling pistol again. He'll need to reload after this shot.

13:37, Today: James Lonefeather rolled 8,6,5 using d10,d10,d6, rerolling max with rolls of 8,6,5. Rock and Roll! 2 hits, 1 raise.

Damage 1: 9
Damage 2: 9

Since both the Men he was aiming at were Shaken, they go down. And not a moment too soon.

Card: AC, QC.

Bullock moves to Double Tap the dude attacking Han Lee. He will also need to reload.

13:44, Today: Seth Bullock rolled 8,4 using d10+1,d6+1, rerolling max with rolls of 7,3. Shooting! with Double Tap. hit and Raise

Damage: 15. That will take it out.

Card: 10C

That leaves 3 MiBs, all of whom are currently Shaken, two of which are Prone. There's also some Townsfolk who need medical attention before I roll Aftermath, if anyone wants to play healer))

Black Jack's turn.

Already behind the bar Jack moved behind sorcerer. The man had crossed the wrong Cajun and slaughtered a bar filled of coloreds. He needed to pay. Boudreaux did not quite understand his need to kill the man as he fired his new peacemaker into the man's back.

14:33, Today: Black Jack Boudreaux rolled 9,11 using d6,d6, rerolling max with rolls of (6+3)9,(6+5)11. red reroll shootin.


"Tell me why I shouldn't finish you off Red." Jack said.


Might take a second action after seeing how this action turns out.

((OOC: No bonuses. That's a Hit and Raise, though, even with his Dodge eating up 2 points of your attack, so you get an extra D6 of damage, in addition to the extra D6 from the back shot. 4d6+1 damage total.

However, if you attempt a second action, that will be a -2 penalty on this one and the new action, which means you'd lose the Raise bonus. Best to quit while you are ahead.))

15:47, Today: Black Jack Boudreaux rolled 26 using 4d6+1, rerolling max with rolls of 4,4,(6+6+2)14,3. damage.

((OOC: That will be 5 wounds, which Nic will be hard-pressed to Soak given his low Vigor. But thanks to the red chips flying about I have plenty to spare.

23:04, Today: Nicodemus Whateley rolled 3,3 using d6,d6, rerolling max with rolls of 3,3. Soak!
23:04, Today: Nicodemus Whateley rolled 3 using 1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 3. Red Chip. Not Enough. White chip for rerolling all.
23:05, Today: Nicodemus Whateley rolled 1,2,2 using d6,d6,d6, rerolling max with rolls of 1,2,2. white chip. Garr...once more.
23:05, Today: Nicodemus Whateley rolled 8,1,7 using d6,d6,d6, rerolling max with rolls of (6+2)8,1,(6+1)7. white chip. There we are. One more Red for good measure.
23:08, Today: Nicodemus Whateley rolled 5 using 1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 5. Red Chip.

That cost me 5 chips in total, but Nic manages a 20, which will soak all the damage. Still not something he can do with impunity...5 chips is a lot.))

Black Jack, Draw your card. Han Lee, your turn.

There's 3 MIB's left, all of which are Shaken, 2 of which are Prone (blue arrow). There are also a couple of civilians who are Bleeding Out and could use some healing (the red skulls). There are some cevilians around who are beyond help (the black skulls)

Logan steeled his nerves against the presence of the undead below that he had dealt with many a time in the past, and took up a position to block any progress up the stairway past him from below. In one smooth motion drew out both Gatling pistols, holding one in each hand.

"You are attempting to interfere with a U.S. Marshals active investigation. Drop your weapons now and let's try this again." He announced loudly to the soldiers, hoping they didn't know that he knew that they were dead.

In reply to Logan West (msg # 203):

Picked a ace for initiative for next turn

In reply to Janet Weiss (msg # 202):

((OOC: If you want to try pushing Logan, it'll be an Opposed Strength check. If you're successful, you can push him back a square or knock him prone, which would give you the space you need to continue moving, though it would slow you down.))

Han ran to the bleeding civilian near the two James. He bent down and tried to staunch the civilian's wounds.

However, he is unable to adequately stem the bleeding.

Cursing he tries to move over to the other dying civilian and hopefully save someone on this wretched evening.

Moving to the civilian on the left that is dying. 21:23, Today: Doctor Han Lee rolled 3,1 using 1d4,1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 3,1. Mundane healing, not sure of the wnd pen.

Using my other action from Quickness to move to the other bleeding civvie. Let me know if I have enough movement to do both things.

01:31, Today: Doctor Han Lee drew the single card: 9D using a deck of 54 cards. Redrawing initiative thanks to Quickness.

01:42, Today: Doctor Han Lee rolled 1,5 using 1d4,1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 1,5. be healed!
