Conclusion - Times Past
First things first. Spend a White, play this:
3S - Shakin’ in Thar Boots
“Nobody move or I push the button!”
Your hero must do or say something that gives his foes pause. All foes within 12” lose their next action.
She pondered what to do exactly. She wasn't real big on mojo, despite having been close to it. Well, maybe that's why she wasn't so big on it. Even at her lowest point, she'd refused the dark gifts of the Wichita Witches and wanted to know nothing of it, even after they literally tried to burn it into her.
But she figured there was some connection here, between Murphy and all them dead critters. There had to be. If you got through to the man, you go through to them dead critters too.
So Kansas Kate said the worst thing she could think of. Which for her, was something.
"HEY MURPHY!" She paused to ensure she had his attention as she smoothly pulled her not as commonly used, but sometimes the right tool for the job, rifle out of its scabbard and with a smooth whirl of the lever chambered a round. "I'M GONNA SHOOT OFF YER PECKER!"
Now, she knew, even with the rifle, that was a damn hard shot. It was such a small target.
But the damned thing is, she just might make that shot. Murphy couldn't dismiss it out of hand. And if he was apprehensive, he'd hesitate, and more importantly, he'd look down at his wedding tackle involuntarily. It was a cruel trick, like driving nails into a hollowed log and putting a shiny object in it to catch a racoon. The animal couldn't help it, it wasn't fair.
It was especially cruel because she wasn't actually going to shoot him in the dick at all. She wanted to put that slug right through his noggin.
Looks like Murphy is easily in Short Range of the rifle. Quick Draw, now I have a rifle! It's like the Old Spice Commercial.
Kansas Kate probably is not going to be able to do this, but she is going to take her best shot (pun intended) at sinking this in one. She is taking a Head Shot.
19:50, Today: Kansas Kate rolled -2,-2 using d12-4,d6-4, rerolling max with rolls of 2,2. Shooting.
Not a good result, but to be fair she would have missed on that roll anyway.
Right, let's throw a Red chip into that.
19:50, Today: Kansas Kate rolled 1 using 1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 1. Red.
That's fine because I spent that Red to spend this White.
19:50, Today: Kansas Kate rolled 6,5,7 using d12-4,d6-4,d6, rerolling max with rolls of 10,(6+3)9,(6+1)7. Reroll with a White.
There we go, there's a 13. That, is a Headshot with a Raise.
19:58, Today: Kansas Kate rolled 25,2 using 2d8+4,d6, rerolling max with rolls of 7,(8+6)14,2. Damage.
27 damage, that's what Mommy likes.
19:59, Today: Kansas Kate drew the single card: 9H using the Deadlands system.
Having taken her shot, she figured the reprisal was going to be worse than eating the last one in like at the whore house and quickly came up with her Toothpick.
Quickdraw Edge abuse!
