OOC: No modifiers. Baker’s broken cover and running toward the town’s Main Street. In terms of a rifle, he’s come within short range for purposes of distance.

Jacinta was surprised at Bauer's appearance, having assumed she'd perished in the big explosion.  With a tip of her head at the woman's order, she took aim at the scrambling sniper.  Her rifle cracked and she loosed another shot.

The crack of Castillo’s rifle is sharp, piercing the air. The scout’s aim is true, the bullet finding the rifleman’s abdomen. The pain of the wound staggers him, his balance wavering. Halting his flight, he drops his rifle, shakily raising his hands above his head. ”Stop! STOP! No more shooting! I surrender!” As if to emphasize his point, he kicks the rifle away from him.

As Baker was already shaken, Castillo’s shot inflicts two wounds, leaving the rifleman with a total of three, and a few inches from death.

The gunmen gathered behind the house open fire, sending bullets sailing down the street and through the open windows of the restaurant.

08:28, Today: Marshal rolled 15,5,7,0,3 using 1d6-2,1d6-2,1d6-2,1d6-2,1d6, rerolling max with rolls of (6+6+5)17,(6+1)7,(6+3)9,2,3.  Shooting - Evans Gang.

One of the shots hits Bowdre in the chest. The Regulator staggers away from the window, knocking a chair askew as he drops to a seated position in front of a nearby table. ”Damn it,” he mutters, clutching the wound.

08:39, Today: Marshal rolled 8,5 using 2d6+1,1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 5,2,5.  Damage - Evans Gang.

The shot leaves Bowdre shaken with three wounds.

Another bullet finds Scurlock’s flank as he dashes across the street with his compatriots. The slender ranch hand takes a few unsteady steps, grimacing in pain, but manages to keep to his feet.

08:41, Today: Marshal rolled 16 using 2d6+1, rerolling max with rolls of (6+4)10,5.  Damage - Evans Gang.

Scurlock is shaken with two wounds.

Another shot slices through the interior of the restaurant, creasing Cooper’s shoulder before biting into the wall beside the back door.

08:42, Today: Marshal rolled 9 using 2d6+1, rerolling max with rolls of 5,3.  Damage - Evans Gang .

Albert, that attack would leave you shaken.

One of the bullets kicks up dust at William Bonney’s feet, prompting a laugh from the gunfighter. The last of the shots slams into a post, showering Kansas Kate with splinters as she races toward the general store.

OOC: Dolan loses his action as the result of Lee’s adventure card. So he remains on the ground, trying to fend off blows as the Ranger strives to beat the shit out of him.

Evans remains out of sight inside the general store.

”Cover me,” Bauer requests of Castillo as she stands. She approaches the rifleman scowling, her carbine in her hands.

His hands still raised, Baker says, ”I swear, I ain’t gonna give you no...”

Before he can finish, Bauer swings the butt of her carbine at the side of his head, smashing his temple.

10:55, Today: Lena Bauer rolled 5,4 using 1d8-1,1d6-1, rerolling max with rolls of 6,5.  Fighting.

09:43, Today: Lena Bauer rolled 7,3 using 1d6,1d4, rerolling max with rolls of (6+1)7,3.  Damage.

The shootist drops to the ground like a sack of stones.

”Nope, you sure won’t,” the deputy tells him.

OOC: Bauer’s intent was non-lethal, so Baker is incapacitated, but breathing.

"EVANS!"  Kansas Kate screamed, crashing her way through the store.  Door, window, it didn't matter.  "I'm calling you out! Come out and face me like a man you sunuvabitch!"

Kansas Kate is challenging Evans to a duel!

Not sure if I can see anything or need to roll running die, so here's the card for next round.

Kate kicks in the door of the building, almost knocking it off its hinges as she forces her way inside.

The interior of the store is small, but the walls are lined with shelves which are stocked with a variety of goods. A few open crates are stacked in the center of the room, each one filled with different varities of fresh produce.

Behind the counter, a middle aged man and woman are cowering, fear etched on their features. Jesse Evans stands to the left of the counter. He has restrained a boy, perhaps sixteen years of age, and holds a Bowie knife to his throat. He grins as Kansas Kate storms inside.

"Callin' me out?" he says, "Hell, Kate, here I thought you were a real outlaw. If you were itchin' to kill me, I figured you'd do me the service of bushwhackin' me good and proper. Save me the trouble of seein' it comin'."

He presses the steel to the boy's throat. "I ain't much for fair fights. Never have been. And I'm not too inclined to follow your lawman friend to the county jail. I thought you, of all folks. would understand that."

Just as Evans finishes speaking, the rear door of the store flies open, and the mountain lion that is Andrew Roberts leaps inside, effectively blocking the outlaw leader's escape route. A low, predatory warning sounds from the great cat's throat.

Evans glares at the animal, then spits on the floor. "Alright, traitor," he growls at Kate, "Seein' as I've got no other option, let's step outside and do it your way. I'll be glad to kick a little dirt on your corpse."

OOC: Kate, I will initiate the duel once I reach either your or Evans' spot in the next round's initiative order.

Another trio of gunshots sound from the corner of the house. Two slam into the door of the blacksmith’s shop, prompting a curse from the owner. The third whistles harmlessly through the restaurant, never cutting close to anyone inside.

Weathering the hail of blows, Dolan’s expression shifts from one of jaw clenched determination to smoldering anger. ”By all means, Ranger, drag me to jail on some spurious accusation. But I assure you, should you do so, if I happened to know anything of Thomas O’Folliard’s location, I would feel no compulsion to share it with any of my captors.”

Power Points Spent: 4

He lashes out, striking at Lee with the heel of his palm.

Total Damage: 19

Ranger, that would leave you shaken with 3 wounds.

10:05, Today: Marshal, on behalf of Bryan Lee, rolled 10 using 2d8, rerolling max with rolls of 4,6.  Damage Field.

Damage from the Field would leave Dolan shaken.

10:07, Today: James Dolan rolled 3,2 using 1d10,1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 3,2.  Spirit .

He doesn’t make the roll, so I’ll burn a White Chip to remove the condition.

Evans steps out onto the porch of the store, keeping the boy between himself and Kate. When he reaches the end of the wooden walkway, he tosses the young man into the dust of the street. Sheathing his knife, he lowers his right hand, holding it inches away from the pistol holstered at his hip. He watches Kate with a fixed stare.

OOC: Kate, go ahead and draw two cards for your “hole” cards.

You can then proceed to employ Taunt or Intimidation against Evans. Your choice.

Albert glanced about at the other action going on, but it seemed his best play was to keep the members of Evans' gang pinned down as best he could.

The .44 bullet crackled with energy as it left the barrel of Albert's pistol.

OOC: Apologies for the delay, all.

Albert got an 11 to hit. He would be shooting at whomever has the least cover. If they all have the same cover, Albert would fire at one of the guys that held their action. If any of them are at -2 cover, then he would get a raise.

Damage is 21 if he gets that raise, or 13 if doesn't.

QS for next initiative.

Kansas Kate smiled at him bitterly.  "But that's just it Evans.  Ah am a real outlaw.  You ain't.  Only one of us was a' hidin' 'hind a little boy.  Only reason ya come out is ya think ya relish th' chance ta kill a woman.  Yer filthier'n enny coyote."

That made the Dodge City gal laugh, though it was a grating, hollow and raspy sound.

"That's jus' God damn ador'ble of you Evans. Ya'll think yer a' goin' ta' jail?"

Her duster flew back, revealing the Schofield.  Kansas Kate's hand went into a position that looked natural, but a trained eye would quickly realize was not.  This was something practiced dozens, hundreds of times a day, quicker than a heart beat.

"Yer goin' ta two places, ain't neither of 'em jail.  Hell, and to piss yerself.  Now show me either yer gun or yer peckerwood, either way, ah'll leave her diss'pointed."

I'm guessing, I may be wrong, that Evans has more Spirit than Smarts.  Just guessing.  So let's go with a Taunt.

All right, Double K actually does not have a great Taunt score, but she is Strong Willed.

Dr. Wayland barely looked back at the blacksmith and his unintelligible questions.  He stole a quick look around the door, only to be greeted by shots cracking into the wood.  Hefting his pistol he called back, "You'll need to speak up!  Its quite loud around heah, sah!"  Ready to add his own noise to the cacaphony, he leaned out again and leveled the gatling.  Clockworks clicked and the pistol hammered out a spray of bullets back at the gunmen, doing a good deal of damage to the siding of the building.  And likely grabbing some attention.

Re: VA - The Regulators

He wiped the blood off of his face from Dolan's blow in a brief respite. "Ain't you heard, Dolan? Rangers...we got ways of makin' you talk." He gave Dolan what he hoped was a menacing grin and then spun into furious series of punches. The arts he had studied in the Chinese community in Shan Fan had been elegant and delicate even as they were capable of being lethally effective.

This was nothing of that. There was nothing elegant or delicate about the fight he brought to Dolan, and from Dolan's counterattack he knew that the rumors of Dolan's skill as a fighter were true. He might hide behind paid killers, but that didn't mean he couldn't do some damage if he was pressed to it. He knew that he wouldn't last long if Dolan had another opportunity to lay into him, so he gave it everything he had.


OOC:

Spent a Red to make a Soak roll (so no Marshal draw) and two Blue to boost it to 12, which should soak all three wounds and remove the Shaken condition as well.

Since Dolan's last post made no move of getting up from his prone position, he should still be at a -2 Parry, putting Lee's flurry of attacks (Quickness is still up) at two successes, one with a raise.

  • His first successful attack (no raise) deals 29 damage (Shaken with 5 Wounds)
  • His second successful attack with the raise deals 21 damage (Shaken with 3 Wounds)
  • His third successful attack (no raise) deals 16 damage (Shaken with 2 Wounds)


This is his last round of Quickness and Damage Field. Starting next round he will have to pay to keep it up.

Initiative: 8D

Re: VA - The Regulators

Cooper sights one of Evans’ riders circulating at the back of the group and fires. His aim is deadly. Sheathed in blue energy, the bullet strikes the outlaw just above his sternum, reducing his upper chest to a bloody ruin. Freed from his body, his head rolls out into the dust of Blazer’s Mill’s Main Street. Two of the surviving outlaws shout out curses, their voices tremulous with fear.

Before the group can react further, Dr. Wayland’s gatling pistol roars to life. A hail of bullets slam into the house the outlaws are using for cover, blasting holes in the walls and blowing out windows. One round tears the upper hinge of the front door free, causing the portal to sag outward. From inside the structure, a male voice yells excitedly in Spanish. The outlaws instinctively press themselves against the western wall, desperate to avoid Wayland’s fire.

10:16, Today: James Dolan rolled 23,3 using 1d12,1d6, rerolling max with rolls of (12+11)23,3.  Red Chip - Soak Roll.

Those successes will soak the first five wounds and the accompanying shaken condition.

10:24, Today: James Dolan rolled 7,15 using 1d12,1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 7,(6+6+3)15.  Red Chip - Soak Roll.

That will soak the following three wounds and the shaken condition associated with them.

10:28, Today: James Dolan rolled 7,1 using 1d12,1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 7,1.  Blue Chip - Soak Roll.

That’s only good enough to soak one of the two wounds.

10:35, Today: James Dolan rolled 8,3 using 1d10,1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 8,3.  Spirit.

That Spirit roll will undo the shaken condition, but Dolan is still left with one wound.
