01:08 (4380) gerardpaloma: Ok, so when we left off, the banditos had been left in shallow graves (or none at all), and their widows given some dough. And the group was heading off.
01:08 (4380) gerardpaloma: **Start Session 5**
01:08 (4387) Paden: (( I've got mad skills, baby ))
01:09 (4468) Megan: (( Where were we heading to? ))
01:09 (4387) Paden: (( back into town, I reckon ))
01:09 (4380) gerardpaloma: (Well, you've got the stolen horse. I suppose you can ask the farmers if they recognize it, or just take it back to town and post a "Found" sign)
01:10 (4468) Megan: (( Weren't we going to drop off a stolen horse? ))
01:10 (4467) Cleavon: (Wandering lost in the wilderness. I call first dibs on the torso if we turn to cannibalism!)
01:10 (4380) gerardpaloma: (hehe)
01:10 (4468) Megan: (( You have fun with that. ))
01:10 (4387) Paden: (( oooo a zombie western! ))
01:11 (4467) Cleavon: Cleavon votes for the "found" sign. And they have to be able to describe the horse that was taken to get it back.
01:11 (4380) gerardpaloma: (Braaaaains...Pardner)
01:11 ** (4468) Megan rides her horse back towards town, still unhappy with Cleavon, but at least he's being a little honorable. **
01:12 ** (4387) Paden and Chase ride quietly, their thoughts are their own. It'd be a long day and a half ride back and to top it off, nobody had really made any money on the whole ordeal. **
01:12 ** (4468) Megan is impressed with Paden giving the money to the widows, though. Maybe he's not so bad as all that. **
01:13 (4387) Paden: "I reckon townsfolk'll be happy the rustlin' will stop," he says, not addressing anyone in particular.
01:13 ** (4468) Megan nods. **
01:13 (4468) Megan: Hopefully there won't be any copycats.
01:14 (4467) Cleavon: Cleavon remains silent.
01:15 ** (4387) Paden takes a moment to look overr Megan. "This don't seem like the sort of work a woman like you'd be interested in." **
01:15 ** (4468) Megan shrugs. **
01:15 (4468) Megan: Sometimes change can be good.
01:16 (4468) Megan: Plus, I was gettin' tired of killin'.
01:16 ** (4468) Megan smiles. **
01:17 ** (4387) Paden takes that for what it is. If she wanted to tell her life story, she'd have done it. And if he had wanted to know it, he'd have asked. **
01:17 (4380) gerardpaloma: (nothing's going to happen on the way back, so let me know when you guys want to fast forward)
01:18 (4467) Cleavon: (FF)
01:18 (4468) Megan: (( Go for it. ))
01:18 (4380) gerardpaloma: The gang rides back into town. It's just as they left it.
01:19 (4468) Megan: (( Do we have to acknowledge Hank? ))
01:19 (4387) Paden: (( not if he ain't here ))
01:19 (4380) gerardpaloma: (If you want. He's been here watching over Sam)
01:20 ** (4468) Megan ((slips into the bar and puts some deadly nightshade into Hank's drink :) )) **
01:20 (4380) gerardpaloma: (oh, and it's the middle of the next day. You started back early yesterday morning)
01:20 (4467) Cleavon: (brb)
01:20 ** (4387) Paden and Chase slowly dismount. They were used to riding for periods of time, but nearly three days still takes its toll on you. She still wasn't speaking to him and he was too prideful to break it himself. **
01:20 (4387) Paden: (( oh. ))
01:21 ** (4468) Megan stores her horse in the stables and walks around a bit to get some feeling back in her lower half. **
01:21 (4468) Megan: (( Who has possession of the stolen horse? ))
01:21 (4380) gerardpaloma: (has to be Cleavon)
01:22 ** (4387) Paden makes his way to the sheriff's office. He tells the sheriff little of what happened out there, hitting the high point by simply saying that the rustlers had been urged to move on. And that they had a horse that needed to be returned but they didn't know who owned it. **
01:23 ** (4468) Megan heads to the sheriff and waits outside for Paden to get some news. **
01:24 (4380) gerardpaloma: Deputy Tim (I think that was his name) takes the news in, nodding along. He says, "Well, we can stable it here and post a notice. Whoever lost a horse can claim it by giving a description."
01:24 (4468) Megan: (( And if no one claims it, Tim's got a new wife! ))
01:25 (4380) gerardpaloma: "Now, since you done took care of those rustlers, I believe payment's due. All the farmers pitched in and put up a reward for whoever took care of the bandits. Let me go get it."
01:26 (4387) Paden: (( woot ))
01:26 (4468) Megan: (( They're not going to wait to make sure the bandits are actually gone? ))
01:26 (4387) Paden: (( shhhhhhhhhutup ))
01:26 (4468) Megan: (( Think of the loot we could get based on our word. ))
01:27 (4380) gerardpaloma: (They're simple folk. They don't go for no logic)
01:27 (4380) gerardpaloma: (but now that you mention it)
01:28 (4380) gerardpaloma: He comes back with a canvas pouch. He then puts it under the counter. "Ill keep it here for a while, and if the farmers don't report no more attacks in the next few days, it's all yours."
01:28 (4468) Megan: (( But we brought the horse! ))
01:28 (4467) Cleavon: (back)
01:28 (4387) Paden: (( well, guess it's back to the desert to get the heads as proof ))
01:29 (4380) gerardpaloma: (there wasn't a reward posted for the horse)
01:29 (4468) Megan: (( Didn't coyotes get them? ))
01:30 (4468) Megan: (( Well, no, but we still brought back some stolen bounty type stuffs that shows we at least dealt with the bandits. ))
01:31 (4387) Paden: I reckon that's fair enough.
01:31 (4467) Cleavon: "Well, I believe we have a few days to kill."
01:31 ** (4387) Paden exits the sheriff's office and tells everyone the skinny. **
01:31 (4387) Paden: Yup.
01:32 (4380) gerardpaloma: (Cleavon pulls out a calendar and fires at it. "There we go, all dead.")
01:32 (4387) Paden: (( Sorry, baby. 19 schintzengruba is my limit. ))
01:32 ** (4468) Megan wonders if she could get kidnapped by a bunch of sexy guys who want to use her for nefarious purposes. **
01:32 (4387) Paden: C'mon, then. I'm buying first round.
01:33 ** (4468) Megan settles for free drink instead. **
01:34 (4387) Paden: (( I'm betting we can find some men-folk drunk enough to use you ;) ))
01:34 (4468) Megan: (( Yes, but they'd be of questionably sexy-ness. ))
01:34 (4467) Cleavon: Cleavon follows and has a merry time, but doesn't get piss drunk and blow all his money. That's why these yokels never had a pot to piss in even though they made a fortune mining, prospecting, and ranching, yet the tavern owners always ended up filthy rich.
01:35 (4468) Megan: (( Don't forget gambling! ))
01:35 (4387) Paden: (( and whorin ))
01:36 (4380) gerardpaloma: When the gang walks into The Watering Hole, they notice a familiar figure bellied up to the bar.
01:36 ** (4468) Megan sneers at the familiar figure. **
01:36 ** (4387) Paden gets a little more loaded than he's used to and may have said some unflattering things to or about the Mrs. **
01:36 (4387) Paden: (( OMG! It's TALON! ))
01:36 (4467) Cleavon: (It's Crazy-Eyed McGaw, get him!)
01:37 (4467) Cleavon: (It's the Abominable Mailman!)
01:37 (4387) Paden: (( Bomb Voyage! ))
01:37 (4380) gerardpaloma: He sways a bit. He notices Megan. "Hey, where y'all been?" He belches. "S-Sam's in bad shape...." he trails off, and downs another shot.
01:38 (4468) Megan: We've been working you lazy sack.
01:38 (4468) Megan: Much like you've been working on your liver, which is good. Is it dead yet?
01:38 (4387) Paden: Maybe he shouldn't have gone and shot himself.
01:38 (4467) Cleavon: Cleavon tries to gently pry the shot glass out of his hand. "OK, Hank, I think you've had enough..."
01:38 (4380) gerardpaloma: Hank shakes his head. The motion causes him to lose his balance, and he nearly falls.
01:39 ** (4468) Megan steps out of his way so he doesn't fall on her. **
01:39 (4380) gerardpaloma: He doesn't appreciate Cleavon trying to take his drink. He shouts, "No!"
01:40 (4467) Cleavon: Cleavon scowls for a bit, and then picks up a nearby glass of water. "This is for your own good..."
01:40 ** (4387) Chase takes a step back from Hank and Cleavon. If violence was about to erupt she wanted to be at least one more step away from it. **
01:41 ** (4468) Megan can only hope that violence is going to erupt. **
01:41 (4467) Cleavon: Cleavon splashes Hank in the face. "Get a hold of yourself, man! You're drinking yourself into a damn stupor! And for what? Some loudmouth cowpoke who went and shot himself!"
01:41 (4380) gerardpaloma: Hank sputters. He sways again.
01:41 (4387) Paden: (( But... but, Hank stammers, I love him. ))
01:41 (4468) Megan: He can't help being worried about the man he loves.
01:41 ** (4468) Megan grins. **
01:42 (4387) Paden: (( I wish I knew how to quit him ))
01:42 (4380) gerardpaloma: The bar doors creak open, followed by the clank of spurs. "Frost! I thought I told you not to come in here no more!"
01:42 (4467) Cleavon: Taking the shot glass more forcefully as he helps Hank up. "Now what you need is a nice hot bath. C'mon, I'll take you there."
01:42 ** (4468) Megan clears a path. **
01:42 (4467) Cleavon: Cleavon looks up at the newcomer. "Don't worry, pal. I've got this taken care of."
01:43 (4380) gerardpaloma: By the door is a big man, flanked by two other men.
01:43 (4380) gerardpaloma: "I wasn't talking to you, boy." They walk forward.
01:43 ** (4387) Paden looks over the stranger and his two companions. **
01:44 ** (4387) Chase slowly lowers her hand to the butt of her gun. Things was about to get interesting. **
01:44 (4467) Cleavon: Cleavon straightens up. "Well I don't give a damn who you were talkin' to. I told you I've got this taken care of."
01:44 ** (4387) Paden helps Cleavon stand Hank up, ready to drag him wherever he needed to go. **
01:45 (4380) gerardpaloma: "I warned that piece of shit if he ever came in here again, he'd be going back out in a box. Is that how you're gonna take care of it? Cause if'n you ain't, step aside, coon."
01:46 (4468) Megan: Guys, let him go. He's not worth it.
01:46 (4468) Megan: They're angry.
01:46 (4468) Megan: And stubborn.
01:47 (4468) Megan: Plus, we don't know what he did.
01:47 (4380) gerardpaloma: "You better listen to the whore."
01:47 ** (4468) Megan lets the whore comment slide because they're here to kill Hank. **
01:47 ** (4468) Megan nods. **
01:47 (4468) Megan: Yes, listen to me. He may be a child lover.
01:47 ** (4387) Paden narrows his eyes at the man, measuring him up. He could certainly talk the talk, but if he kept flapping his lips he'd better be ready to walk the walk. **
01:47 (4468) Megan: Do you want to defend that?
01:48 (4387) Paden: (( waiting for cleavon ))
01:48 (4494) Cleavon (enter): 13:48
01:48 (4387) Paden: oh
01:48 Attempting to assign the role of PLAYER to (4494) Cleavon...
01:48 (4494) Cleavon: (If there was anything after what Cleavon said, I missed it)
01:49 (4380) gerardpaloma: Booting '(4467) Cleavon' from room...
01:49 (4467) Cleavon (exit): 13:49
01:49 ** (4387) Paden helps Cleavon stand Hank up, ready to drag him wherever he needed to go. **
01:49 ** (4387) Paden narrows his eyes at the man, measuring him up. He could certainly talk the talk, but if he kept flapping his lips he'd better be ready to walk the walk. **
01:49 (4380) gerardpaloma: "I warned that piece of shit if he ever came in here again, he'd be going back out in a box. Is that how you're gonna take care of it? Cause if'n you ain't, step aside, coon."
01:49 (4387) Paden: (( that's been my contribution so far ))
01:50 (4494) Cleavon: (I got all that, and then I said...)
01:50 (4494) Cleavon: "Well it just so happens that I ride with that 'piece of shit', so if you want him, you'll have to go through me first."
01:50 (4387) Paden: (( never read it ))
01:51 (4380) gerardpaloma: "Is that so? Never seen a man so eager to die."
01:51 (4468) Megan: Guys, come on. Let it go.
01:51 ** (4387) Paden stood defiantly on Hank's other side. Hank may be a son of a bitch but if anyone was gonna kill him, it wouldn't be this loud mouthed puncher in front of him. **
01:52 (4494) Cleavon: Cleavon whispers to Paden, "Let's take him out the back way, keepin' one hand free 'case these assholes draw steel."
01:52 ** (4387) Chase pulls her pistol and slowly cocks it to be sure it is heard in the bar. **
01:52 ** (4387) Paden whisper back "Too late." **
01:53 ** (4468) Megan doesn't understand why they insist on protecting this man they barely know and hasn't done much of anything for them other than babysit an idiot. **
01:53 (4494) Cleavon: (Wait, how is it too late? They haven't drawn yet, right?)
01:53 (4380) gerardpaloma: "What time is it?" the big man asks. The one on his right pulls out a pocket watch, squints at it, and says, "Just after 1."
01:54 (4387) Paden: (( I don't kill no one after lunch. Dammit, I knew I shoulda come here earlier! ))
01:54 (4468) Megan: What did he do you fellows?
01:54 (4468) Megan: (( do to, that is. ))
01:55 ** (4468) Megan hopes it's bad. **
01:55 ** (4468) Megan hopes it's bad enough to piss off everyone in the bar. **
01:56 (4380) gerardpaloma: "Not too late for killin' then." He ignores Megan. "When the clock strikes two, you make sure you're both outside. Along with anybody else lookin to fill a coffin."
01:56 (4494) Cleavon: (A black man doens't find many friends, so Cleavon sticks with those he has. Plus, the guy called him "boy" and a "coon")
01:56 (4468) Megan: (( They were affectionate terms. :D ))
01:57 (4387) Paden: (( I love them niggars! ))
01:57 (4494) Cleavon: "Lookin' forward to it. And don't even think about playing unfair. We'll have sharpshooters."
01:57 ** (4468) Megan shakes her head. **
01:57 (4387) Paden: (Can I kill them now? Chase has been aiming for some time...)
01:58 (4380) gerardpaloma: He scoffs. "Just be there. I don't wanna have to hunt your sorry asses down. Now git!"
01:59 ** (4387) Chase eases the hammer down on the Colt. If he'd have so much as twitched... **
01:59 (4380) gerardpaloma: (If Chase wants to fire, she can)
01:59 (4387) Paden: (( she'll have her chance ))
01:59 (4494) Cleavon: Cleavon helps Hank out the back way, keeping his other hand free in case these jackasses change their minds.
02:00 ** (4468) Megan follows them out, contemplating stabbing Hank along the way. **
02:00 ** (4387) Paden helps Cleavon get the drunk out the back. **
02:00 (4380) gerardpaloma: They watch as the group takes Hank out the back.
02:01 ** (4387) Chase keeps her post at the end of the bar, watching the three men and sipping on whatever she was drinking before they were interrupted. **
02:02 (4468) Megan: (( brb ))
02:02 (4494) Cleavon: Cleavon helps Hank to the nearest bathouse.
02:02 (4380) gerardpaloma: Having never noticed Chase, the men wait until the others have left, then order drinks. They talk amongst themselves.
02:03 (4387) Paden: (( Can I hear what they're saying? (keen ears!) ))
02:04 (4387) Paden: (( afk, getting water ))
02:06 (4380) gerardpaloma: (let's see, you're at one end of the bar, they're at the other, so distance is about 8 meters. It's a bar, so background noise is normal. Make an alertness roll)
02:07 (4494) Cleavon: (You could use the noise system for this. Normal conversation is about 60 dB)
02:07 (4387) Paden: [1d10+9] -> [10,9] = (19)
02:07 ** (4468) Megan doesn't want to see Cleavon get shot for the drunk, so mixes a stimunlant into some water and gives it to Hank to drink so he has a chance. **
02:07 (4387) Paden: (( Chase hears a mouse two stores over fart. ))
02:08 (4380) gerardpaloma: (that's what I was doing. 60 db for the conversation, -30 for noise, -24 for distance, keen ears adds 10, so adjusted db is 16. Right?)
02:09 (4494) Cleavon: (Yep)
02:09 (4380) gerardpaloma: (so Chase can hear the conversation, with a 19)
02:09 (4380) gerardpaloma: (since the penalty would be 4)
02:10 (4380) gerardpaloma: (right?)
02:11 (4494) Cleavon: (*thumbs up*
02:11 (4380) gerardpaloma: Hank reluctantly drinks the water offered. After a few minutes, he starts to sober up.
02:11 (4387) Paden: If we're going to do this, I need to find some high ground. (to Cleavon)
02:12 (4494) Cleavon: Cleavon nods.
02:13 (4380) gerardpaloma: Chase hears the men talking. The big one says, "Dumb bastards gonna get themselves shot over a filthy drunk. I came in here gonna kill one man, and we get to kill at least two now." The one who pulled out the watch says, "Sure is gonna be fun, Will."
02:14 ** (4387) Paden leaves the bath and begins hunting for a suitable perch. Preferrable a place that has a good view up and down the street and the rooftops. **
02:14 (4387) Paden: (( preferrably ))
02:15 (4380) gerardpaloma: The other one says, "They said something about sharpshooters. You want me down on the street, or up over the whorehouse?" Will responds, "Over the whorehouse. I reckon Frost and the nigger'll be on the street, and that other dude will be hidin somewheres."
02:16 (4494) Cleavon: Cleavon had no intention of standing out in the open and letting those cowpunchers shoot at him. They'd probably show up 5 or 10 minutes early and scout out the terrain. They could simply shoot the lot of them from cover when they showed up.
02:16 (4494) Cleavon: Cleavon starts looking for a good place to hide.
02:17 ** (4387) Chase hears what she needed to hear. She downs the last bit of beer and heads out. **
02:17 (4380) gerardpaloma: The one with the watch looks at it again. "We should get going, Will." Will stands up. "I love killin folks." He chuckles as they leave.
02:17 ** (4468) Megan decides to head over to the sherrif and take up audience on the sherrif's front porch. **
02:17 (4494) Cleavon: Cleavon says to Hank "Find a place to hide. We'll hit them from cover when they arrive," and heads off.
02:18 (4468) Megan: (( sheriff, that is. ))
02:19 ** (4387) Chase spies Paden skulking the streets and tells him where one of them intends to hide himself. Afterwards she finds herself an alley to wait in until the shooting starts. **
02:19 (4494) Cleavon: Once Cleavon gets to his spot (no more than 20 meters away), he gets out his musket and checks it.
02:19 ** (4468) Megan pulls one of her throwing knives and starts to clean her nails while she waits. **
02:20 (4380) gerardpaloma: (ok, so Paden has high ground, Cleavon has cover on the street level, 20 meters from where Hank is hiding, or did I misread that)
02:21 ** (4387) Paden picks a spot opposite the street from the whorehouse, further down the street - away from where the showdown is to take place. **
02:21 (4494) Cleavon: (20 meters from where Cleavon guesses the cowpunchers will be. Aptitude roll if applicable: [1d10+6] -> [2,6] = (8))
02:21 (4380) gerardpaloma: (Megan is sitting outside the sheriff's office, and Chase is waiting in an alleyway)
02:22 (4468) Megan: (( Check. ))
02:22 (4387) Paden: (( looks good to me ))
02:24 (4380) gerardpaloma: (something like that)
02:24 (4380) gerardpaloma: It gets closer to two o clock. Still no sign of the three men.
02:26 (4380) gerardpaloma: The clock strikes 2.
02:26 (4380) gerardpaloma: Paden, from his perch, sees two of the men exit the whorehouse and saddle up their horses.
02:26 (4494) Cleavon: Cleavon starts scanning around for them. They probably got the same idea as he did, after all. Spot: [1d10 + 14] -> [10,14] = (24)
02:26 (4494) Cleavon: [24 + 1d10] -> [24,5] = (29)
02:26 (4387) Paden: [1d10+15] -> [4,15] = (19) spot check
02:26 (4387) Paden: (heh)
02:27 (4387) Paden: (n/m my spot, then)
02:27 (4387) Paden: (where are they headed?)
02:27 (4380) gerardpaloma: (it's just across the street, after all)
02:28 (4380) gerardpaloma: The men head west, towards The Watering Hole (which is near the center of the main thoroughfaire)
02:29 (4494) Cleavon: (Can I get a clear shot at them without running the risk of hitting an innocent bystander?)
02:29 (4468) Megan: (( You would think word got around and there's not any innocent bystanders bystanding. ))
02:29 (4380) gerardpaloma: (yeah, folks know there's a duel, the streets are clear)
02:30 (4494) Cleavon: (Okay, then I take the full two extra rounds to aim at the loudmouth from the bar)
02:30 ** (4387) Paden readies his rifle. He only sort of watches the two riders. Most of his attention is on the whorehouse across the street. **
02:31 (4387) Paden: (( Can Chase see the riders from her vantage point? ))
02:31 (4380) gerardpaloma: (depends. Is she completely inside the alleyway, or is she peeking out?)
02:32 (4387) Paden: (( I'll go with peaking, bob ))
02:32 (4387) Paden: (( or peeking, even ))
02:32 (4380) gerardpaloma: (roll spot)
02:33 (4387) Paden: [1d10+6+9] -> [1,6,9] = (16)
02:33 (4387) Paden: [1d1-16] -> [1,-16] = (-15)
02:33 (4387) Paden: shit
02:34 (4380) gerardpaloma: (should be 16 -1d10)
02:34 (4468) Megan: (( But he's doing it as Paden. Shouldn't he do it as Chase to make it count? ))
02:34 (4380) gerardpaloma: (we'll let that slide)
02:34 (4387) Paden: [16-1d10] -> [16,-5] = (11)
02:34 (4468) Megan: (( I was trying to get him a better chance. ))
02:34 (4380) gerardpaloma: Chase can't spot them, but Cleavon saw them plain as day as soon as they stepped out of the whorehouse.
02:35 (4380) gerardpaloma: (Shit, I guess I have to handle Hank)
02:35 (4380) gerardpaloma: (spot is awareness, right?)
02:35 (4494) Cleavon: (I can take Hank)
02:36 (4494) Cleavon: [1d100] -> [64] = (64)
02:36 (4494) Cleavon: (GM taking over characters just bogs everything down)
02:36 (4380) gerardpaloma: (ok, roll Hank's spot)
02:37 (4494) Cleavon: (Did Hank ever spend any XP?)
02:37 (4468) Megan: (( I don't think so, not much anyway. He wasn't so good at the updating. ))
02:37 (4380) gerardpaloma: (nope)
02:38 (4494) Cleavon: Hank's Spot: [1d10 + 15] -> [10,15] = (25)
02:38 (4494) Cleavon: [25 + 1d10] -> [25,1] = (26)
02:38 (4380) gerardpaloma: Hank sees the riders, too.
02:38 (4380) gerardpaloma: Distance is about 75 meters.
02:38 (4468) Megan: (( How sober is he at this point to do anything about it? ))
02:38 (4380) gerardpaloma: (hmm. I suppose there are rules for drunkenness, yes?)
02:39 (4494) Cleavon: (And what's my distance to them?)
02:39 (4494) Cleavon: (No, you'll have to hoof it)
02:40 (4380) gerardpaloma: Cleavon is... 90 meters away.
02:40 (4494) Cleavon: Cleavon's Camouflage: [1d10 + 12] -> [3,12] = (15) Hank's Camouflage: [1d10 + 7] -> [8,7] = (15)
02:40 (4380) gerardpaloma: Hank is sobered up, but he still gets -1 to all rolls.
02:43 (4380) gerardpaloma: Will's spot: [1d10 +1d10 +5] -> [5,7,5] = (17) B2's spot: [1d10 +1d10 +5] -> [6,6,5] = (17)
02:47 (4380) gerardpaloma: The riders spot Hank and Cleavon hiding. Will calls out, "Hidin' cause yer yellow ain't gonna save ya!"
02:48 (4494) Cleavon: Realizing that he doesn't have the time to take any more aim, Cleavon fires right away.
02:48 (4380) gerardpaloma: Round 1
02:48 (4494) Cleavon: Called shot: General Torso
02:48 (4494) Cleavon: [1d10 + 14 + 2 - 8 - 15] -> [4,14,2,-8,-15] = (-3)
02:49 ** (4387) Paden keeps watch across the street. [1d10+6+9] -> [4,6,9] = (19) **
02:49 (4380) gerardpaloma: The shot goes wide, but just barely. Both Will and his partner draw their pistols this round. Will has two guns, his partner just one.
02:50 (4380) gerardpaloma: The door out to the second floor whorehouse balcony opens.
02:51 (4494) Cleavon: Hank fires his Winchester at the other rider, also aiming at the center mass. [1d10 + 19 + 2 - 8 -15 - 1] -> [2,19,2,-8,-15,-1] = (-1)
02:52 (4387) Chase: was waiting for the shooting to start. She heard Cleavon's musket blast. She leans out a little further and takes aim on one of the riders. (B2)
02:54 ** (4468) Megan sees Chase lean out and frowns, but if the girl wanted to kill, she would kill. **
02:55 (4380) gerardpaloma: Paden sees the second story gunman. B3's spot on Paden: [1d10 +1d10 +5] -> [3,3,5] = (11)
02:56 (4380) gerardpaloma: They see each other at the same time.
02:56 (4387) Paden: (( That'll be interesting. ))
02:56 (4380) gerardpaloma: (was Paden aiming?)
02:57 (4387) Paden: (( He had his rifle at the ready but not aiming. ))
02:57 (4380) gerardpaloma: B3 raises his rifle.
02:57 (4380) gerardpaloma: Round 2
02:57 (4380) gerardpaloma: Everyone roll initiative.
02:58 (4468) Megan: (( What is that again? ))
02:58 (4380) gerardpaloma: (very good question. I forget)
02:58 (4494) Cleavon: Hank's init: [1d10 + 17] -> [4,17] = (21)
02:58 (4494) Cleavon: (Skill Level + Athleticism)
02:58 (4387) Paden: Paden: [1d10+17] -> [5,17] = (22) Chase: [1d10+14+6] -> [1,14,6] = (21)
02:58 (4494) Cleavon: Cleavon starts to reload his musket.
02:59 (4468) Megan: (( What's skill level? *ducks the smacking* ))
03:00 (4380) gerardpaloma: (the skill you're using, like ranged. But since Megan's not in the fight, she doesn't have to roll init)
03:00 (4387) Paden: (( ha HA ))
03:00 (4468) Megan: (( Oooh. OK. ))
03:00 (4494) Cleavon: (So 1. Paden 2. Chase, Cleavon so far)
03:01 (4380) gerardpaloma: Will ranged: [1d10 +10] -> [7,10] = (17) B2 ranged: [1d10 +6] -> [4,6] = (10) B3 ranged: [1d10 +8] -> [2,8] = (10)
03:02 (4380) gerardpaloma: Will init: [1d10 +17] -> [8,17] = (25) B2 init: [1d10 +10] -> [4,10] = (14) B3 init: [1d10 +10] -> [7,10] = (17)
03:03 (4380) gerardpaloma: So order is 1. Will 2. Paden 3. Chase, Cleavon 4. B3 5. B2
03:03 (4380) gerardpaloma: Will spurs his horse sideways, towards the nearest building for cover.
03:04 (4494) Cleavon: (I meant 3. Chase, Hank, of course. Cleavon doesn't go again for 5 rounds)
03:04 (4380) gerardpaloma: (ok, there you go, then)
03:04 (4494) Cleavon: (So Will already rolled. Is that a hit?)
03:04 (4380) gerardpaloma: (Will rolled?)
03:05 (4380) gerardpaloma: (first roll was for skill level in ranged, second was for init)
03:05 (4494) Cleavon: (Oh, I get it)
03:05 (4494) Cleavon: (So what are we waiting for then? It's Will's turn, yes?)
03:06 (4380) gerardpaloma: He's riding for cover.
03:06 (4380) gerardpaloma: (so it's Paden's turn)
03:07 ** (4387) Paden takes aim and fires at the guy across the street (fast aim ftw) [1d10+17] -> [7,17] = (24) **
03:08 (4380) gerardpaloma: d10 for general location
03:08 (4387) Paden: [1d10] -> [1] = (1)
03:08 (4387) Paden: [1d10] -> [4] = (4)
03:08 (4380) gerardpaloma: Left foot
03:09 (4387) Paden: (( well, it's a hit ))
03:09 (4468) Megan: (( Could it have been close enough to the guy's horse to spook it? ))
03:09 (4380) gerardpaloma: Will HP: [1d10 +10] -> [1,10] = (11) B2 HP: [1d10 + 8] -> [8,8] = (16) B3 HP: [1d10 +6] -> [6,6] = (12)
03:10 (4387) Paden: (( I was shooting at a guy in a window. If he's in there with a horse .... well, I don't want to know about it ))
03:10 (4380) gerardpaloma: Ok, so damage is...6? Which means he loses 2 toes.
03:10 (4468) Megan: (( Then how the hell did you hit his foot? If he's in a window, it's probably only the top half exposed. ))
03:11 (4380) gerardpaloma: (not a window, he had just opened the door to the balcony)
03:11 (4387) Paden: (( plus, aren't I above him? ))
03:11 (4380) gerardpaloma: And his status is wounded.
03:12 (4380) gerardpaloma: (if you're on the second floor, you're on the same level)
03:12 (4494) Cleavon: Hank cranks the lever on his Winchester and fires again, aiming for center mass. [1d10 + 19 + 2 - 1 - 8 - 15] -> [1,19,2,-1,-8,-15] = (-2)
03:12 (4494) Cleavon: [-2 - 1d10] -> [-2,-1] = (-3)
03:13 (4380) gerardpaloma: The shot misses, again, just barely.
03:13 (4494) Cleavon: (Looks like I blew all my good rolls on spotting)
03:13 (4380) gerardpaloma: (is Chase firiing this round?)
03:13 ** (4468) Megan watches the men get missed and maintains hope that one will get a shot in on Hank. **
03:14 (4380) gerardpaloma: (meh)
03:14 (4494) Cleavon: (Remind me again why Megan hates Hank so much?)
03:14 ** (4387) Chase squeezes off a shot. [1d10+21] -> [8,21] = (29) **
03:15 (4387) Chase: (( because he's disagreeable? ))
03:15 (4468) Megan: (( Some people just rub her the wrong way. ))
03:15 (4387) Chase: (( not me! 8D ))
03:15 (4468) Megan: (( Megan was never a good friend to man anyway. ))
03:15 (4380) gerardpaloma: (hmm, I never figured out Chase's range. Was she supposed to be farther back than Hank and Cleavon or what?)
03:16 (4387) Chase: (( I would have put her about the same distance as Cleavon ))
03:16 (4380) gerardpaloma: (ok, so 90 meters)
03:16 (4380) gerardpaloma: (still a hit. On B2?)
03:16 (4387) Chase: (yup)
03:16 (4387) Chase: [1d10] -> [9] = (9)
03:16 (4387) Chase: [1d10] -> [6] = (6)
03:17 (4380) gerardpaloma: Left clavicle
03:18 (4380) gerardpaloma: Pistol does 5 damage, location is 2 severity, so that's 10.
03:18 (4380) gerardpaloma: He's now wounded, also.
03:18 (4387) Chase: (( woot ))
03:20 (4380) gerardpaloma: The man across from Paden, obviously an experienced rifleman, also aims quickly and returns fire. [1d10 +10 -2] -> [10,10,-2] = (18)
03:20 (4380) gerardpaloma: [1d10] -> [10] = (10)
03:20 (4380) gerardpaloma: (uh oh)
03:20 (4380) gerardpaloma: [1d20] -> [4] = (4)
03:21 (4380) gerardpaloma: General head shot
03:21 (4387) Chase: (( action point, plz ))
03:21 (4380) gerardpaloma: (you don't want to know the effects otherwise?)
03:22 (4380) gerardpaloma: (ok, so what do you want me to reroll?)
03:22 (4387) Chase: (( the first one ))
03:22 (4380) gerardpaloma: (the to hit roll?)
03:23 (4387) Chase: (I'd rather not get shot to begin with. I don't think YOU can roll two tens in a row. 8D
03:23 (4387) Chase: )
03:23 (4380) gerardpaloma: [1d10+10-2] -> [6,10,-2] = (14)
03:23 (4380) gerardpaloma: The bullet misses Paden by that (uses fingers in a squeezing motion) much.
03:23 (4387) Chase: 8D
03:24 (4387) Chase: (( I wish so much to see what his sealed fate is. ))
03:24 (4380) gerardpaloma: (oh, it's coming)
03:24 (4380) gerardpaloma: (you just don't know when, or how)
03:24 (4380) gerardpaloma: B2 rides in the opposite direction towards cover.
03:24 (4380) gerardpaloma: Round 3
03:25 (4468) Megan: (( Megan kills him in a jelous rage over Chase. ))
03:25 (4380) gerardpaloma: let's do initiative again.
03:26 (4380) gerardpaloma: Will: [1d10 +17] -> [3,17] = (20) B2: [1d10+10] -> [1,10] = (11) B3: [1d10+10] -> [4,10] = (14)
03:26 (4494) Cleavon: Hank: [1d10 + 17] -> [4,17] = (21)
03:26 (4387) Chase: Paden: [1d10+20] -> [6,20] = (26) Chase: [1d10+23] -> [10,23] = (33)
03:27 (4380) gerardpaloma: holy crap. 1. Chase 2. Paden 3. Hank 4. Will 5. B3 6. B2
03:28 ** (4387) Chase fires another shot at B2. [1d10+21] -> [3,21] = (24) **
03:28 (4387) Chase: (( curses at 3 ))
03:28 (4380) gerardpaloma: (what's the penalty for a moving target? 3?)
03:28 (4387) Chase: (( thought it was 5 ))
03:29 (4494) Cleavon: (-3 for a moving target, -5 for a moving shooter)
03:29 (4380) gerardpaloma: (5 if you're moving. 3 if target is moving. Right)
03:29 (4380) gerardpaloma: The bullet misses, but it's oh so close.
03:30 ** (4387) Paden fires another shot at the guy across the street. [1d10+17] -> [2,17] = (19) **
03:30 (4387) Paden: (( curses 2 ))
03:30 (4380) gerardpaloma: Hit
03:30 (4494) Cleavon: (I should point out that anything lower than a 6 is automatically a miss, since a large pistol's PTM is 5 at that range)
03:30 (4380) gerardpaloma: (really? Ok, good to know)
03:31 (4380) gerardpaloma: (Paden's rifle shot is a hit, though, right?)
03:31 (4494) Cleavon: (I was talking about chase)
03:32 (4380) gerardpaloma: (ok)
03:32 (4380) gerardpaloma: d10
03:32 (4387) Paden: [1d10] -> [2] = (2)
03:32 (4387) Paden: [1d10] -> [7] = (7)
03:32 (4380) gerardpaloma: Right hip
03:33 (4380) gerardpaloma: 6 damage, 1.5 severity, so 9 total.
03:33 (4380) gerardpaloma: Another wounding shot
03:34 (4380) gerardpaloma: He's now critical
03:34 (4387) Paden: (( whew ))
03:34 (4494) Cleavon: Hank's third rifle shot at Will, called shot torso: [1d10 + 19 + 2 - 8 - 15 - 1] -> [9,19,2,-8,-15,-1] = (6)
03:34 (4494) Cleavon: [1d10] -> [7] = (7)
03:35 (4380) gerardpaloma: Ooh, right clavicle
03:35 (4494) Cleavon: (Weapon is 10 damage, 3 pen)
03:37 (4380) gerardpaloma: That's gonna hurt. Let's see if Will can stick around: [1d10 + 1d10 +5] -> [4,6,5] = (15)
03:37 (4380) gerardpaloma: The tremendous shot nearly tears Will's right arm off. He drops one of his pistols, but manages to keep his saddle.
03:38 (4380) gerardpaloma: He rides his horse behind cover.
03:38 (4468) Megan: (( Chicken shit. ))
03:39 (4380) gerardpaloma: The second story gunman squeezes off a desperate shot at Paden. [1d10 +10 -5] -> [8,10,-5] = (13)
03:39 (4380) gerardpaloma: He misses.
03:39 (4380) gerardpaloma: B2 rides his horse behind cover.
03:39 (4380) gerardpaloma: Round 4
03:39 (4387) Paden: Paden: [1d10+20] -> [7,20] = (27) Chase: [1d10+23] -> [10,23] = (33)
03:39 (4494) Cleavon: Hank: [1d10 + 17] -> [5,17] = (22)
03:40 (4380) gerardpaloma: Will: [1d10 +17] -> [6,17] = (23) B2: [1d10+10] -> [3,10] = (13) B3: [1d10+10] -> [9,10] = (19)
03:41 (4380) gerardpaloma: Chase, Paden, Will, Hank, B3, B2
03:41 ** (4387) Chase waits patiently for B2 to stick his head - or any other part - out. If she sees it, she shoots it. [1d10+21] -> [1,21] = (22) **
03:42 (4380) gerardpaloma: 22 -1d10
03:42 (4387) Chase: [22-1d10] -> [22,-8] = (14)
03:42 (4380) gerardpaloma: Paden's turn
03:43 (4387) Chase: (( wasn't paying attention sorries! ))
03:43 ** (4387) Paden takes a moment to aim carefully before firing his next shot. Called shot to the head: [1d10+17] -> [1,17] = (18) **
03:43 whispering to gerardpaloma, Does Will stay conscious? [1d10+11] -> [4,11] = (15)
03:44 (4387) Paden: [18-1d10] -> [18,-5] = (13)
03:44 (4380) gerardpaloma: Swing and a miss.
03:45 (4380) gerardpaloma: No one can see Will, but he doesn't pop out to fire.
03:45 (4380) gerardpaloma: Hank's turn.
03:45 (4494) Cleavon: (Is anyone visible to Hank?)
03:45 (4380) gerardpaloma: (hmm, no)
03:45 (4380) gerardpaloma: (but you can do a conditional like Chase)
03:46 (4494) Cleavon: Contingent action: Hank takes careful aim, if Will pops his head out, he makes a called shot to his head.
03:47 (4380) gerardpaloma: B3 fires once again, hoping and praying for a lucky shot. [Bad dice format] - [1d10+10=5]
03:47 (4380) gerardpaloma: [1d10 +10-5] -> [4,10,-5] = (9)
03:47 (4380) gerardpaloma: and he fails.
03:48 (4380) gerardpaloma: B2 pops out, and takes a snap shot at Hank. [1d10+10] -> [7,10] = (17)
03:48 (4380) gerardpaloma: It misses.
03:49 (4380) gerardpaloma: Chase fires, and misses as well.
03:49 (4380) gerardpaloma: Round 5
03:49 (4387) Paden: Paden: [1d10+20] -> [5,20] = (25) Chase: [1d10+23] -> [2,23] = (25)
03:49 (4494) Cleavon: Hank: [1d10 + 17] -> [8,17] = (25)
03:49 (4380) gerardpaloma: W [1d10+17] -> [1,17] = (18) B2 [1d10+10] -> [5,10] = (15) B3 [1d10+10] -> [8,10] = (18)
03:49 (4494) Cleavon: (Hehe, wow)
03:50 (4380) gerardpaloma: party, B3 and Will, B2
03:50 (4494) Cleavon: Hank's actions are the same as before.
03:50 (4387) Paden: Chase - same.
03:50 whispering to gerardpaloma, Does Will stay conscious? [1d10+11] -> [9,11] = (20)
03:50 ** (4387) Paden fires another shot at B3. [1d10+17] -> [2,17] = (19) **
03:51 (4380) gerardpaloma: d10
03:51 (4387) Paden: [1d10] -> [9] = (9)
03:51 (4387) Paden: [1d10] -> [6] = (6)
03:51 (4380) gerardpaloma: Left clavicle
03:51 (4494) Cleavon: (What is it with all the clavicle shots today?)
03:51 (4380) gerardpaloma: don't know
03:51 (4494) Cleavon: (3 out of 4 hits have been in the clavicle)
03:51 (4468) Megan: (( He just likes typing clavicle. ))
03:51 (4380) gerardpaloma: hehe
03:52 (4380) gerardpaloma: That's another wounding shot, so no change to status.
03:52 (4380) gerardpaloma: B3 figures sooner or later, he'll get a lucky shot. [1d10+10-5] -> [9,10,-5] = (14)
03:52 (4380) gerardpaloma: But not today.
03:53 (4387) Paden: (damn, that's sad he can't hit on a 9)
03:54 (4380) gerardpaloma: Will peeks out, with a rifle resting on the horse's back, and takes a desperate shot at Hank. [1d10+17-5] -> [3,17,-5] = (15)
03:54 (4380) gerardpaloma: It goes wide.
03:55 (4494) Cleavon: Hank returns the shot: [1d10 + 19 + 2 + 1 - 1 - 4 - 8 - 15] -> [5,19,2,1,-1,-4,-8,-15] = (-1)
03:55 (4387) Paden: (( ER-ROR! ))
03:55 (4380) gerardpaloma: (hehe)
03:55 (4494) Cleavon: (Damn you and your drinking ways, Hank!)
03:55 (4468) Megan: (( How long was he drunk before we intercepted? ))
03:56 (4380) gerardpaloma: B2 pops out and fires another snap shot at Hank. [1d10+10-2] -> [2,10,-2] = (10)
03:56 (4380) gerardpaloma: (he started drinking when he got up in the morning, after checking on Sam.)
03:56 (4380) gerardpaloma: B2 misses hopelessly wide.
03:58 (4380) gerardpaloma: So Chase is returning a shot, yes?
03:58 (4494) Cleavon: (I can't stick around very much longer, so can we speed this up?)
03:58 (4468) Megan: (( I could sneak around and slit throats. ))
03:59 (4387) Paden: (( yes ))
03:59 (4387) Paden: [1d10+21] -> [9,21] = (30)
04:00 (4380) gerardpaloma: (yeah, hit)
04:00 (4387) Paden: [1d10] -> [9] = (9)
04:00 (4387) Paden: [1d10] -> [7] = (7)
04:00 (4380) gerardpaloma: jesus, right clavicle
04:00 (4380) gerardpaloma: That get's upgraded to head, though
04:00 (4380) gerardpaloma: B2 goes down.
04:00 (4387) Paden: (( woot ))
04:00 (4380) gerardpaloma: Round 6
04:00 (4380) gerardpaloma: nm init
04:00 (4387) Paden: Paden: [1d10+20] -> [6,20] = (26) Chase: [1d10+23] -> [3,23] = (26)
04:00 (4380) gerardpaloma: Roll for Paden
04:01 (4387) Paden: [1d10+17] -> [4,17] = (21)
04:01 (4380) gerardpaloma: d10
04:01 (4387) Paden: [1d10] -> [8] = (8)
04:01 (4387) Paden: [1d10] -> [10] = (10)
04:01 (4387) Paden: (center clavicle?)
04:01 (4494) Cleavon: Cleavon finishes reloading his musket
04:01 (4380) gerardpaloma: Oh, right in the heart. B3 goes down.
04:01 (4387) Paden: (center clavicle ftw!)
04:02 (4380) gerardpaloma: Will makes another last gasp shot on Hank. [1d10+17-5] -> [1,17,-5] = (13)
04:02 (4380) gerardpaloma: what a dumb bastard, he misses
04:02 (4380) gerardpaloma: anybody roll
04:02 (4468) Megan: (( They suck for all the talk they had. ))
04:02 (4387) Chase: [1d10+21] -> [2,21] = (23) (@ Will now)
04:02 (4494) Cleavon: Hank returns fire, still aiming at Will's head: [1d10 + 19 + 2 - 1 - 4 - 15] -> [1,19,2,-1,-4,-15] = (2)
04:02 (4494) Cleavon: (Whoops, forgot the - 8)
04:02 (4380) gerardpaloma: (if Paden hadn't had an action point, he would have had his brains splattered, though)
04:02 (4494) Cleavon: [2 - 1d10 - 8] -> [2,-9,-8] = (-15)
04:03 (4387) Chase: (which is why I userized it)
04:03 (4468) Megan: (( True, but that was just a lucky shot. ))
04:03 (4380) gerardpaloma: both misses. Cleavon's shot?
04:03 (4494) Cleavon: (What's Will hiding behind? Is it real sturdy, or is it just wooden or something?)
04:03 (4380) gerardpaloma: Just the side of a building. Corner, actually
04:04 (4380) gerardpaloma: Well, he's out in the open now, but behind his horse
04:04 (4387) Chase: (Will Paden have good LOS for next round antics?)
04:04 (4380) gerardpaloma: Yeah, Paden could probably take Will down from his vantage point.
04:04 (4494) Cleavon: Cleavon fires at Will's center mass, through whatever is in the way. [1d10 + 14 + 2 - 8 - 15] -> [8,14,2,-8,-15] = (1)
04:04 (4387) Chase: (( rog-o ))
04:04 (4494) Cleavon: [1d10] -> [4] = (4)
04:05 (4494) Cleavon: (15 damage, 8 pen on the musket)
04:06 (4380) gerardpaloma: Ooh, left shoulder. No horsey blocking the shoulder. The shot hits Will square in the left shoulder and spins him around. Blood gushes from the splintered stump that was previously his left arm. He falls forward into the dirt.
04:06 (4380) gerardpaloma: End Combat.
04:06 (4380) gerardpaloma: **End Session 5**
04:06 (4380) gerardpaloma: 30 XP for all.
04:06 (4387) Chase: woot
04:07 ** (4468) Megan gropes Chase in celebration. **
04:07 (4380) gerardpaloma: That was awesome
04:07 (4387) Chase: 8D
04:07 (4387) Chase: Yes, quite harrowing.
04:07 (4380) gerardpaloma: All it would have taken was another 10, and Paden would have been pushing up daisies.
04:08 (4494) Cleavon: Like, two thirds or three fourths of all hits were clavicle shots
04:08 (4387) Chase: I was shaking in my fashionable, yet comfortable boots.
04:08 (4380) gerardpaloma: Yeah, that was nuts
04:08 (4380) gerardpaloma: I don't think anything like that's ever happened before.
04:08 (4387) Chase: Don't forget the Jaw-Master
04:08 (4468) Megan: It's clavicle hunting season.
04:08 (4494) Cleavon: Not since Gustav... beat me to it
04:08 (4380) gerardpaloma: But that was just him. Everyone was hitting clavicles.
04:09 (4468) Megan: At least they were hitting something.
04:09 (4380) gerardpaloma: hehe
04:09 (4380) gerardpaloma: At these ranges, though, it's kind of difficult.
04:09 (4468) Megan: And the buildings in the way.
04:09 (4380) gerardpaloma: Right.
04:09 (4387) Chase: Well, Chase had no trouble missing. Of course, she was well outside the range of her weapon so it's a miracle she hit anything.
04:10 (4494) Cleavon: Doesn't help that it takes 5 rounds for Cleavon to reload his musket after each shot
04:10 (4468) Megan: Yeah, that sucks.
04:10 (4380) gerardpaloma: Yeah, they would have went down much quicker if Cleavon had been able to fire more than twice.
04:10 (4380) gerardpaloma: But that's the tradeoff with a musket
04:11 (4494) Cleavon: Yeah. Anyway, catch you guys later. I gotta run
04:11 (4380) gerardpaloma: Alright, see ya later
04:11 ** (4494) Cleavon waves **
04:11 (4468) Megan: Bye!
04:11 (4494) Cleavon (exit): 16:11
04:11 (4387) Chase: adios
04:11 (4387) Chase: via con carne, amigo
