Conclusion - Times Past

The blast caught her off guard and nearly knocked her off her feet.  She turned at the last moment with a yell of warning, catching the brunt of the attack along her shoulder.  Recovering her balance, Jacinta swiveled in the direction of the attack and caught Murphy in her sights.  Her finger curled about the trigger and the resounding crack of the rifle echoed across the mountain.

Conclusion - Times Past

Castillo’s shot will inflict two wounds on Murphy, as well as rendering him shaken.

The cattle baron will attempt to soak the damage.

20:36, Today: L.G. Murphy rolled 6,3 using 1d12,1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 6,3.  White Chip - Soak Roll.

That’s only one success, which will only remove a single wound. That will force him to burn a red chip to see if he can better the result.

20:36, Today: L.G. Murphy rolled 3 using 1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 3.  Red Chip - Soak Roll.

The second roll will enable him to soak both wounds and lose the shaken condition, but it was a costly recovery.

Castillo’s shot slashes across Murphy’s left arm, shredding the sleeve of his shirt, and leaving a gash that wells blood freely. He looks down at the injury, his expression one of earnest surprise, seemingly shocked by his own, unrecognized vulnerability.

Conclusion - Times Past

Kansas Kate cursed the situation.  She took stock.  Part of her wanted to plink at Murphy, but they couldn't all just do that.  This mess had to be policed, and an outlaw wasn't much for police-work.  So she split the difference.

"Hey Doc Fancy Pants!"  She called out.  "Do somethin'!"

He'd been cut off (thanks to her in part).  Momentarily bringing her Wincester up to her cheek she fired it at the dead thing threatening The Fancy Man, trying to give Dr. Wayland some relief.


Quick Draw abuse!  Draw Winchester as a free action!

So good solid hit with a Raise... 21:01, Today: Kansas Kate rolled 11,9 using d12,d6, rerolling max with rolls of 11,(6+3)9.  Pew Pew.

But crap damage - 8 damage - Well it's Shaken maybe that'll do something.

Cursing it hadn't much more, she brought the infamous Toothpick back up, and she closed the distance with the deader threatening River.

Quick Draw abuse again!  Toothpick as a free action!  Moving west to get in melee with that thing so someone can get Gang Up Bonus

"Gang up on them ya idjits!  Ah don't care if ya fight like yer limpdick daddy! "

21:11, Today: Kansas Kate drew the single card: KS using the Deadlands system.

Garrett shifts his aim to the dead warrior that had attacked Kansas Kate. Drawing a bead on the corpse, he fires, the shot blasting apart the left side of the warrior’s chest. The dead man’s bones clatter to the ground a moment later.

With the dead man that is facing him stunned, Bonney raises his pistol and shoots the warrior in the forehead, the bullet tearing the top of its head off. Bones and ash fall at the kid’s feet as he opens the cylinder of his Colt, dumps the remaining ammunition, and quickly feeds six rounds from his gunbelt into it.

11:22, Today: Henry McCarty rolled 6,1 using 1d12,1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 6,1.  Shooting.

11:24, Today: Henry McCarty rolled 19 using 2d6+1, rerolling max with rolls of (6+4)10,(6+2)8.  Damage.

Still struggling with her undead attacker, Tamsin manages to fire another shot. The bullet creases the dead warrior’s skull, leaving cracks in the yellowed bone, and seemingly stunning the creature.

11:41, Today: Marshal, on behalf of Tamsin River, rolled 9,4 using 1d6,1d6, rerolling max with rolls of (6+3)9,4.  Shooting.

11:42, Today: Marshal, on behalf of Tamsin River, rolled 8 using 2d6+1, rerolling max with rolls of 5,2.  Damage.

14:26, Today: The Dead rolled 9 using 1d4+2, rerolling max with rolls of (4+3)7.  Spirit.

Both of the shaken warriors are able to shed the condition.

The walking corpse facing Dr. Wayland takes another swing at the bounty hunter with its tomahawk. Dr. Wayland sidesteps the heavy blow, the warrior’s weapon arcing through vacant air.

14:35, Today: The Dead rolled 3 using 1d8, rerolling max with rolls of 3.  Fighting.

The walking corpse contending with Tamsin manages to recover its faculties. With a quick, sideways swing, the warrior lashes out at the herbalist, but she is able to duck the attack.

14:54, Today: The Dead rolled 5 using 1d8, rerolling max with rolls of 5.  Fighting.

Conclusion - Times Past

08:51, Sun 02 May: Secret Roll: The Bone Fiend rolled 1 using 1d4, rerolling max with rolls of 1.  Reformation.

As the battle continues across the mountainside, the heap of bones that once comprised the imposing skeletal creature stir, beginning to move seemingly of their own volition, snaking a few paces north as though guided by an unseen hand. As more stir, the speed of their motion grows.

It is not only the bones that formed the beast that seem to come to life. The remains of the recently felled warriors scattered across the slope are suddenly pulled toward the monster’s carcass, drawn as if by a magnet.

The collected bones rise, arranging themselves into a hideous form that is immediately familiar to those on the mountain: that of the massive bone creature. Only now, the beast possesses five legs, rather than four, and seven legs, as opposed to six. Some of the jagged skeletal remains that comprise the monster’s chest open and close in a motion reminiscent of a great maw lined with sharp teeth.

The reformed monster shakes itself, pawing at the stony earth.

With a scream Kansas Kate lashed out at the dead creature, trying to drive her steel deep into it.

All right, Wild Attack +2, and we have 4 people touching it so that should add Gang Up for +3.  Total +5.

I would do a called shot but... well it's undead.

16:48, Today: Kansas Kate rolled 8,7 using d8+5,d6+5, rerolling max with rolls of 3,2.  Wild Attack with Gang Up.

Wow, it's a good thing I didn't that's a terrible roll lol

Conclusion - Times Past

He knew that there was a deader behind him, and while an immediate sense of urgency very nearly seized him to move towards the tremendously large fiend in front of them and he knew these ladies were more than capable of fending for themselves, a gentlemanly impulse seized him. He turned back and threw a punch, fist connecting with rotting flesh. He felt more than heard the sickly but satisfying crunch of bone before his steps took him past Cooper to approach the bone fiend.

He remembered fighting a thing like this before in the streets of Lincoln, and he remembered its weak spot - the blackened skull that lurked within its bony carapace. He cursed his poor memory; shattering the thing hadn't been enough last time. It had taken blasting that skull apart by one of Cooper's well aimed bullets to do the trick. He planned to attempt a similar feat with his bare hands. Thrusting his calloused fists through gaps in the ribcage to try to strike at its core.


OOC:

My plan is to take his first action here, and hold the second one until the outcome is more clear.

Turning around and throwing a punch at the deader.

Attack: 17
Damage: 23

Assuming that takes it down, he uses his movement to get around the top side of the Bone Fiend. He's going to throw in another two punches, hoping to strike the black skull in the middle of the creature's body - assuming that there's enough gap in the skeletal structure for him to reach it. The -4 Penalty to hit will counteract Lee's Wild Attack and Joker bonuses, so this is a straight skill roll.

Rolled a 2, which wasn't good enough so I spent the Legend Chip to bump that up.

Attack: 9
Damage: 24

Given that 10 damage did for it last time, I figured that may be enough. But threw another punch in just because...it amounted to just another 2, so we'll just leave it at that since I'm running low on chips now.

Now, if he couldn't have aimed for it, his attacks would get a bonus (Large Creature +1, Wild Attack +2, Joker) and he'd get a raise, etc. so I'd just have to add that in (damage goes up to 27).

Holding his second action on the outcome of this.

Conclusion - Times Past

Already stunned by Kansas Kate’s vicious knife attack, the dead warrior never seems to sense Lee’s lightning fast strike to the back of its head. The powerful blow decapitates it, sending the walking corpse’s head flying over Tamsin River’s left shoulder. The headless body comes apart a moment later, earth encrusted bones landing in a heap at the herbalist’s feet.

The lawman rushes the newly reformed bone creature, his eyes glimpsing a tell tale flicker of black within the monster’s torso. He punches the beast twice, the second blow breaking through a veritable wall of bone and striking the skull that is sheltered within.

A horrible groan sounds across the mountainside, a deep bass sound that causes the trees and rocks to tremble with its force. The bone creature’s arms wave spasmodically, as if the beast has been overtaken by excruciating pain. Then, it collapses in a sudden torrent of jagged bone.

OOC: Ranger, I’m going to need you to give me an Agility roll in order to dodge the avalanche of bones. There’s no negative effect if you pass. However, if you do make your roll, you’ll need to move one square backward (straight back or diagonally) as part of your successful avoidance.

"Every dog has his day, Longley. Even a no good rotten mangy mutt like you," he said, his enhanced speed started to fade, but not before he threw in a few more hits at Longley.

OOC:

Agility: 6

That should send him backwards, up a bit further towards Murphy. He'll use the rest of his movement to get up to ol' Murph, then throw in a few swings.

Attacks: 21, 9, 10

I'm going to go ahead and assume that he has the Martial Artist Edge like our last few opponents. If he doesn't, the second attack will hit and the last will get a raise. But if he does...

Conclusion - Times Past

The first attack by Lee would leave Murphy shaken. I’ll address it after resolving the Ranger’s other two attacks.

The second strike would leave Murphy shaken with two wounds. He’ll attempt to soak the damage.

18:41, Today: L.G. Murphy rolled 8,4 using 1d12,1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 8,4.  White Chip - Soak Roll.

He does. That result will clear both of the wounds and the accompanying shaken condition.

The third attack would inflict five wounds and impart a shaken condition. Again, Murphy will try to soak.

18:43, Today: L.G. Murphy rolled 16,10 using 1d12,1d6, rerolling max with rolls of (12+4)16,(6+4)10.  White Chip - Soak Roll.

Four successes will clear four wounds. The last wound will stand.

That leaves two shaken conditions that the cattle baron is under.

19:09, Today: L.G. Murphy rolled 9,6 using 1d12,1d6-1, rerolling max with rolls of 9,(6+1)7.  Spirit.

19:09, Today: L.G. Murphy rolled 8,2 using 1d12,1d6-1, rerolling max with rolls of 8,3.  Spirit.

The Spirit rolls will enable Murphy to shed both shaken conditions.

The lawman’s strikes push through the shadows clinging to Murphy and Lee hears the tell tale crack of bone as one of his blows lands. But Lee finds that reaching into the swirling darkness is like plunging his hands into a frozen lake, the cold so deep that it burns.

13:01, Tue 06 Apr: Secret Roll: L.G. Murphy rolled 3,10 using 1d12+1,1d6, rerolling max with rolls of 2,(6+4)10.  Spellcasting .

The shadows surrounding Murphy function as a damage field. Each of Lee’s strikes will expose him to it.

19:19, Today: L.G. Murphy rolled 10 using 2d8, rerolling max with rolls of 4,6.  Damage Field.

19:19, Today: L.G. Murphy rolled 7 using 2d8, rerolling max with rolls of 6,1.  Damage Field.

19:19, Today: L.G. Murphy rolled 5 using 2d8, rerolling max with rolls of 2,3.  Damage Field.

The first result would inflict one wound on Lee and leave him shaken.

The second result would leave the Ranger shaken.

The third result inflicts no harm.

As Lee lands his last punch, he sees the shadows contract around Murphy, the darkness growing so dense that the cattle baron’s features are lost from sight. An instant later, both the dark and Murphy himself vanish completely.

19:25, Today: L.G. Murphy rolled 4,-3 using 1d12-3,1d6-4, rerolling max with rolls of 7,1.  Spellcasting.

The penalty on the Wild Die should have been -3, not -4.

Cast: Teleport.

Power Points expended: 3

He suddenly reappears between Albert Cooper and Kansas Kate, the air surrounding the gunfighter and the outlaw growing icy cold. Without a word, the cattle baron lashes out at Cooper with a fist that is enveloped in darkness.

19:28, Today: L.G. Murphy rolled 6,14 using 1d12-3,1d6-3, rerolling max with rolls of 9,(6+6+5)17.  Fighting.

19:38, Today: L.G. Murphy rolled 7,7,6 using 1d12-1,1d8,2d8, rerolling max with rolls of 8,7,1,5.  Damage.

Total Damage: 20

Murphy also expends an additional 2 power points to sustain the damage field.

Dr. Wayland continued to step back carefully under the assault of the relentless dead.  Kate's admonition to do something fell on seemingly deaf ears.  No time for banter at the moment.  Or it is just hard to hear under the monstrous chattering away of the gatling pistol's barrage.  Which continued...  The bounty hunter pressed it forward trying to let the bullets simply chew enough of the dead thing away to make it less of a threat...

Full Auto vs. the Dead Thing

Hit #1 - 9 to Hit, 6 Damage
Hit #2 - 11 to Hit (Raise), 5 Damage

I will burn a chip and spend my Bullseye! card  on Hit #1 to double it to a 12.  Which will hopefully take it out...  No more ammo in the gatling...  It feels like a sad use of Bullseye!, but it has been a lot of sad rolls. Meh!

Conclusion - Times Past

The last torrent of lead from Dr. Wayland’s gatling pistol virtually tears his attacker in half. Each side of the undead warrior falls to the ground in a different direction, both becoming mere piles of bone moments later.

Castillo’s shot strikes one of the advancing dead warriors in the center of the breastbone, the bullet ricocheting from the corpse’s chest to the ground, kicking up fragments of rock as it lands.
