Ok, one more question. The Marshal used an action point, so made his save (even though it initially failed). So, there are no PC's buried in the snow -- just horses (and one mule), right?

So, if Riley made his save and his horse failed, should I assume he was thrown from his horse by the avalanche but luckily ended up on top of the snow but his horse ended up buried? Has the snow stopped moving? Any followup waves of snow to worry about?

Riley McClean Riley joins in the gallop for the trees, hoping he doesn't see a wall of snow come roaring down the hill. "I'd hate to get killed by something I can't even shoot back at," mutters the gunfighter.

Riley McClean Riley ponders the words of the ancient shaman for a while, then just shakes his head. "I ain't going to say if I believe any of this or not. There are some strange things in the world, so maybe this is all straight talk. Either way, sounds like we need to treat this varmit who...

Riley McClean Riley has been listening from his guard position away from the fire, of course. The shaman's tale begs an obvious question. "Exactly what kind of evil can this con artist do with your talisman, ancient one?"he asks respectfully.

Riley McClean Riley stays back from the fire, opening room for the others to make room for the ancient Indian. Staying on his feet, he turns his back to the fire and watches the surrounding woods. He wants to be sure the whole group doesn't get so intersted in their guest that they forget to...

Riley McClean Riley rises to his feet from where he was crouching and steps to one side to spread out and get away from the fire, his pistol automatically appearing in his hand. He keeps the gun lowered but ready just in case. "Howdy stranger. You look like you could stand to warm yourself...

Here are a few random thoughts for you. There are some guidelines in the Recoiled book for difficult travel, in chapter 8. They say difficult terrain is 1/2 movement, for instance. So, I could see snow in normal terrain being equal to 2/3 movement (or minus 10 feet). Walking in the snow over...

Riley McClean "Welcome back, D'Artois," says Riley. Riley smiles at the comment. "You know, I've found that to be true as well," says the gunfighter. He does shake his head slightly at the notch on the barrel, but refrains from comment. Turning back to the business at hand, Riley listens...

Riley McClean Riley agrees to the plan outlined by the Marshal. He is indeed looking forward to sleeping in a bed again, after being on the trail for so long. Getting all of his weapons out of the elements will give him an opportunity to give them a good cleaning, before going hunting for...

Riley McClean "We should also talk to someone, or a couple someones, who have been to this town we're heading towards. I'd like to hear about the trail, what the town looks like, and who some of the key people are that we should talk to when we get there."

No problem about the slow pace. I'm slammed at work for another couple weeks and then things should calm down. Also, I'm traveling over the weekend with no internet access. Back on Monday, though. Max

Riley McClean Riley listens carefully to the Marshal, since know we're finally learning something of the job. Shifting to a more comfortable position, Riley unconsciously adjusts his gunbelt to keep the pistols easy to hand. "Well Marshal, you say this case has your attention. What got...

I've added a rain slicker, gloves and overcoat to Riley. Also, if some of his shirts aren't wool then he'll pick up a couple of those as well.

Riley McClean Making sure that someone else has the gun runners (?) covered, Riley punches out the two empty shell casings from his pistol, and reloads. "You gonna try and find out where these boys were going with the guns, Marshal?" Riley asks. "Or are you just figuring on letting the local...

Riley McClean "US Army, is it? So Dakota, I take it you're guessing they aren't blankets?" Riley says with a grin. He moves forward so that all the teamsters/smugglers are within point blank range, just in case anyone else tries something stupid. "So, is he still alive?" he asks, nodding in...

Yeah, gunfighting is what Riley is good at. Of course, that is at the expense of everything else. Get him without his guns and Dakota would kick his butt. And what Bear Trap would do to him.... Ouch!

Riley McClean As Deke starts his draw, Riley's hand flashes down for his pistol with blistering speed. The custom Thunderer leaps out of the holster and starts spouting flame! ooc: Initiative role is a blazing 17+12=29. Is this a fast draw round? If so, Riley shoots at Deke using his...

Riley McClean Riley smiles slightly as the Marshal decides to push the issue. This pussy-footing around was getting old for the gunfigher as well. "What ever you got there ain't worth dyin for. Yer out gunned and out classed, so don't do nothin stupid," he suggests in an off-hand manner...
