The Ranger took a small amount of the holy water as well and rubbed it all over his hands, letting it air dry on them. "Well, I'm not so sure about some of the particulars. I ain't keen on leavin' friends behind, you see, so I'm gonna make you a counter-offer," he called out to the man on the roof, or whatever McDaniels was. "If you turn yourself in peaceably and appraise me as to the particulars of any criminal activities that your associates are involved in, I will spare you the hangman's noose and see that you only serve a reduced sentence." | |||
Dr. Wayland stood by the front door again, his lightning gun back in his hands. He idly tweaked a wire here... Gave the clockwork a click or two and released it to begin spinning up the dynamo again. He glanced at the clattering in the backroom, but did his best to remain looking unconcerned. Catching Lee's "get ready" look, the bounty hunter gave a faint nod and looked out the door at the approaching dead....and whatever else he might be able to get a look at... | |||
He then accepted the one from Tamsin and got to work on it as well, his head down as Albert concentrated on his task. He could still talk though. "And a little extra power fer Flower Power." And listen. OOC: This one, too, will be successful. Tamsin - the bullet in question will do an extra die of damage and will be magical in nature. 14:38, Today: Albert Cooper rolled 7,3 using d8,d6, rerolling max with rolls of 7,3. Shootist (LFB). Remaining PP: 5/10. 4 of them are tied up in bullets (Deputy, Jacinta, Tamsin, Albert). One was used to help with shooting dedders. He can etch one more bullet. As he needs a minute to finish it up, Albert likely won't be done with Tamsin's until just before it's time for the shooting to start. | |||
”So you’d hogtie me, then whisk me off to Santa Fe? After I confessed all my wrongdoings and those that helped me commit ‘em, of course,” McDaniels replies. Inside, another group of crosses clatter to the floor. Outside, Dr. Wayland can see that the dead, perhaps half a dozen of them, have drawn closer to the church. Within five or six paces of the front door. ”Don’t tell me. You still think this is all about scooping up land and cattle. About Mr. Murphy becoming such a powerful rancher that John Chisum gets eaten up with jealousy.” “Tell you what, lawman. Give it about a week. If you’re still standin’, once you’ve gotten a good look at what’s happened around here by then, you come back and tell me if you think it’s still about a few extra steer.” The pacing of the heavy footfalls halts near the center of the roof. ”Time’s almost up. Last chance to keep breathin’.” | |||

OOC: Edit - actually Albert does have knowledge (occult). Will a 6 provide him some useful knowledge about this sort of thing? 19:20, Today: Albert Cooper rolled 6,3 using d4,d6, rerolling max with rolls of (4+2)6,3. K(Occult) - ghost walker?

"Doc, if you could conduct some electroconvulsive therapy on the subject above, I'd be much appreciative. Coop, Señorita...light him up, and cover me when you can. I'll do my best with the deaders. Wait for my sign. Here goes nothin'." He walked over toward the doorway. This message was last edited by the player at 14:25, Mon 01 July 2019. | |||
Albert glanced over at the book River has been studying, and considered that it was in the possession of that priest. "We can be purty sure this fella, McDaniels, is now a demon. As y'all seem ta have concluded, he's gonna be vulnerable ta any weapon that's blessed, includin' the holy water itself. He's also gonna be vulnerable ta weapons made from or containin' cold forged iron. I further expect that McDaniels ain't gonna be at full strength on any sorta sacred ground. Like this church here. Almost certain that a place consecrated ta a holy purpose would likely interfere with summa his....er, abilities." He shrugged as he put a few more scraches into the bullet he was still upgrading. "That's all I got, but mebbe add that ta how yer strategizin'." | |||
"So best we get started on 'im before he pulls down this sanctuary." The Ranger continued his path to the door, and stood in the doorway for a moment like like a coiled spring, focusing his energy before launching himself full speed into the closest deader he can find. OOC: He'll position himself so that he's of greatest obstruction to the deaders trying to make it in the front door or front side of the building.

08:53, Today: Lena Bauer rolled 12,2 using 1d8,1d6, rerolling max with rolls of (8+4)12,2. Agility. The deputy comes out of a roll, shouldering her shotgun as she crouches in the dust. The report thunders in the quiet street as she targets one of the walking corpses a few paces away, but the shot goes wide. 08:53, Today: Lena Bauer rolled 1,3 using 1d8,1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 1,3. Shooting. 10:24, Today: Lena Bauer drew the single card: 6S using a deck of 54 cards. Initiative. | |||
08:56, Today: Aileen Kearney rolled 6,2 using 1d8,1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 6,2. Agility . Snapping her carbine to her shoulder as she lands on her feet, Kearney fires at the closest deader, blasting a ragged wound in its flank. 08:57, Today: Aileen Kearney rolled 4,1 using 1d8,1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 4,1.

*tosses the Payback Adventure Card in as well* McDaniels thwarted his bounty...not to mention enslaving an entire town into undying servitude... That sir, requires a reckoning.... Lightning Burst - To Hit 11, 25 Damage | |||
10:17, Today: The Dead drew the single card: 9H using a deck of 54 cards. Initiative. | |||
Pieces of burning wood, from the ceiling’s support timbers, along with crumbling chunks of adobe rain down into the room, filling the air with a cloud of dust and catching one of the left hand pews on fire. Among the descending debris, something large and heavy crashes to the floor. In the dust, it appears as a great shadow, but as some of adobe settles, those within the iglesia see that it is a enormous winged creature. As it regains its feet it stretches up to ten feet in height, the span of its leathery wings a full seven feet in each direction. Reptilian flesh, mottled with shades of gray and green, is pulled tight over its powerful frame, black fur growing on isolated patches. In several places, the skin has ruptured, exposing thick, yellowed bones, stained with ash. The creature’s head is a bare skull, a snout filled with canine teeth extending from it, green eyes burning hatefully inside of dark sockets. Its legs are inverted, the knees facing behind it like those of a bird of prey, and its hands and feet end in long, black talons. Smoke rises from where its feet touch the sanctuary floor. ”Well played,” the thing that is Jim Mc Daniels tells Dr. Wayland, ”Course, you understand I’m gonna have to kill you for that little stunt.” Dr. Wayland’s blast of lightning leaves McDaniels shaken with 1 wound. 11:07, Today: Jim McDaniels rolled 8,7 using 1d10,1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 8,(6+1)7. Spirit. The spirit roll will remove the shaken condition. The wound remains. 11:11, Today: Jim McDaniels drew the single card: AS using a deck of 54 cards. Initiative. Anyone who’s still inside the iglesia needs to provide me with a spirit roll. This is a Fear Test. Anyone who hasn’t yet done so also needs to give me an initiative draw. Nice shot, Dr. Wayland. | |||
Given the warning from Bryan, Albert was none-too-surprised about what fell from above. Time for the shooting to start. OOC: 8 Spirit, AH for initiative. Which is usually pretty good. But not good enough today. 09:44, Today: Albert Cooper drew the single card: AH using a deck of 54 cards. 09:44, Today: Albert Cooper rolled 8,3 using d6,d6, rerolling max with rolls of (6+2)8,3. Spirit. | |||
Fear Check - 5 (Unless Payback's +2 vs him would count?) Also willing to Red Chip it? EDIT - Spend Red Chip for +4 Initiative Card - 6C I'll hold post till I find out about the Fear. 14:39, Today: Dr. Ezekiel Q. Wayland rolled 4 using 1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 4. Red Chip Add to Fear Test. 13:59, Today: Dr. Ezekiel Q. Wayland drew the single card: 6C using a deck of 54 cards. Initiative. 13:58, Today: Dr. Ezekiel Q. Wayland rolled 5,1 using d6,d6, rerolling max with rolls of 5,1. Spirit! This message was last edited by the player at 18:44, Tue 02 July 2019. | |||
The Payback card only applies to attack and damage rolls. This message was last edited by the GM at 18:29, Tue 02 July 2019. | |||
Having already seen some of what McDaniels really was, she wasn't too shocked by his altered appearance, though she did consider him ugly as sin. Her rifle swiveled to the imminent threat, ready to send the devil back to hell. Fear: 4 Initiative: 9H 22:45, Today: Jacinta Castillo rolled 4,3 using d8-2,d6-2, rerolling max with rolls of 6,5. Fear. 22:47, Today: Jacinta Castillo drew the single card: 9H using the Deadlands system. Initiative. | |||
10:25, Today: Jim McDaniels rolled 4,0 using 1d10-1,1d6-1, rerolling max with rolls of 5,1. Fighting. 10:26, Today: Jim McDaniels rolled 8,1 using 1d12+1,1d8, rerolling max with rolls of 7,1. Damage. Total damage: 8 The attack will leave Wayland shaken. Despite its seeming bravado, the creature makes no move to press its attack against the bounty hunter, instead lunging for the open front door, moving within a few paces of it, leaving in its wake smoking, black footprints burned into the sanctuary floor. Marshal’s clarification: As the church is sanctified ground, every round that McDaniels remains inside it, he automatically absorbs a shaken condition that he has to roll/burn a chip on to overcome. 09:54, Today: Jim McDaniels rolled 6,1 using 1d10,1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 6,1. Spirit. For further clarity, Mc Daniels’ move leaves him positioned between the holy water basin and the front entrance, about five paces away from escaping the church. He’s also barreling straight toward Jacinta Castillo. 10:23, Today: Jim McDaniels drew the single card: 7H using a deck of 54 cards. Initiative. | |||
Initiative Order AH - Albert Cooper 9H - Jacinta Castillo 9H - The Dead 8H - Aileen Kearney 6S - Lena Bauer 6C - Dr. Ezekiel Q. Wayland 2S - Bryan Lee 2C - Tamsin River Mr. Cooper, your turn. | |||
OOC: Albert succeeds in activating Smite (with a 5). Just the normal +2, though. He got a 9 to hit (presuming Marksman is in play) which should provide a raise. 29 damage (magical). If for some reason 9 is not a raise, it would be 27 damage instead. The bullet is AP 1. It has Smite on it. Remaining PP 3/10. Init: 7C 12:34, Today: Albert Cooper rolled 29 using 4d6+3, rerolling max with rolls of (6+5)11,(6+3)9,4,2. Damage (LFB, Smite, Raise). 12:32, Today: Albert Cooper rolled 7,1 using d8,d6, rerolling max with rolls of 7,1. Shooting. 12:31, Today: Albert Cooper rolled 3,5 using d8,d6, rerolling max with rolls of 3,5. Hexslinger (Smite). 12:37, Today: Albert Cooper drew the single card: 7C using a deck of 54 cards. Initiative. | |||
It will try to soak that. 15:10, Today: Jim McDaniels rolled 8,8 using 1d10-1,1d6-1, rerolling max with rolls of 9,(6+3)9. Soak Roll. 15:11, Today: Jim McDaniels rolled 5 using 1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 5. Red Chip - Soak Roll. 15:12, Today: Jim McDaniels rolled 3 using 1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 3. Blue Chip - Soak Roll. That’s a total of four successes, which will soak all the wounds. Since all of the wounds were soaked, the shaken condition is removed as well. Good news is, it cost all the red and blue chips I had on hand to get there. Initiative Order AH - Albert Cooper 9H - Jacinta Castillo 9H - The Dead 8H - Aileen Kearney 6S - Lena Bauer 6C - Dr. Ezekiel Q. Wayland 2S - Bryan Lee 2C - Tamsin River You’re next, Señorita Castillo. | |||

Although several of the deaders manage to claw at the ranger, only one of their attacks, a deep slash across the abdomen, appears to cause him real harm, The Ranger responds with a flurry of hand strikes and kicks, sending one of the corpses sprawling backwards out of the group, and decapitating another. Some of the other gathered dead are buffeted by the rapid series of blows, but continue to press their attacks against Lee. 10:03, Today: Marshal, on behalf of Bryan Lee, rolled 13 using 2d6, rerolling max with rolls of 3,(6+4)10. Damage Field. 10:03, Today: Marshal, on behalf of Bryan Lee, rolled 9 using 2d6, rerolling max with rolls of 5,4. Damage Field. 10:03, Today: Marshal, on behalf of Bryan Lee, rolled 4 using 2d6, rerolling max with rolls of 2,2. Damage Field. 10:04, Today: Marshal, on behalf of Bryan Lee, rolled 6 using 2d6, rerolling max with rolls of 4,2. Damage Field. Lee dispatches one of the deaders and leaves another of the zombies shaken. One of the zombies manages to claw the Ranger viciously, leaving him shaken with 1 wound. Lee, of course, may make a soak roll. The deader that Kearney shot appears to recover from the injury enough to resume its advance. The other walking corpse draws close enough to take a swipe at the mustanger with its claws, but she agilely dodges the blow. 10:27, Today: The Dead rolled 9 using 1d4+2, rerolling max with rolls of (4+3)7. Spirit. 10:29, Today: The Dead rolled 1 using 1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 1. Fighting. On the other side of the church, one of the zombies closes with Bauer, reaching for the deputy with a clawed hand that she is able to duck. 10:31, Today: The Dead rolled 2 using 1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 2. Fighting. 10:34, Today: The Dead drew the single card: KS using a deck of 54 cards. Initiative. | |||
