Chapter 5.4: Shootout at the Bella Union Saloon ((Deadwood))
Screaming patrons run around heading to whatever looks like convenient cover. Hyram Burns legs it towards the stairs, then trips and lands on them fairly hard. before curling into a ball and sobbing.
Brett Bones looks around wildly, but Darius Carter just starts laughing his head off and Roger Sebastian looks no more annoyed than he already did.
The chair continues to bedevil Von Steinhof, slamming him repeatedly with enough force to crack the wood.
In the corridor, the bullet holes in the wall from Wilder's attack tremble, and suddenly the bullets shoot back out! One of them clips Wilder pretty good, but while it stings, it didn't seem to have done any serious damage.
Back in the main hall, Tolliver stands straight. "Stop this!" he bellows, raising a fist and shaking it at empty air. "I command you! Stop this now!"
The only reply is an ashtray smashing him in the face. He howls and staggers back as the glass ashtray shatters, but his head is made of harder stuff. He comes away with only a bloody nose.
"So be it." He snarls. "This is my joint. I don't care what it thinks. I'll make it listen!"
Meanwhile, Hyram Burns wails and crouches around the stairs as poker chips sling past as fast as bullets. He cringes, using the stair for cover as the assault continues.
Out in the street behind Jackie and Katy, a mist begins to gather in the crater from the battle. Slowly, the mist creeps towards the two, who are intent on listening to the fracas inside...
((OOC: The Bella Union Now takes its actual turn. It can make up to 5 attack without a MAP. It starts throwing things at Von Steinhof (he's really got it annoyed), James Wilder (who shot it up a bit going after Nicodemus), Cyrus Tolliver (who presumes to be the saloon's master), and Hyram Burns (who created it). It makes 2 attacks at Von Steinhof, because he's really annoyed it.

The Mourning Mist rises from the crater and starts sneaking toward Jackie and Katy. I need you two to make Notice checks vs the mist's Stealth (which is a hidden roll). }:D))
Katy, Jackie, make Notice checks (vs. a Stealth roll)
