Bad Moon over California

[Bobitron]

OOC: Waiting for actions in the suprise round from Marshal Colburn and Michael Sun-Hand-High, and an initiative roll from Michael Sun-Hand-High. Normal combat will begin on Saturday. Sorry you aren't involved in this, syn.

 

[synecdoche]

OOC: Oh, that's okay. I'm having fun following along. Just remind me to never volunteer to guard the camp again, heh heh OOC:

Initiative 10.

Michael will fall in behind the marshall, brandishing his shield and tomahawk.

 

[Bobitron]

Dakota’s shot rings out clear in the night air, causing the cattle’s heads to jerk up. The cowpokes scatter towards cover, but not before you each get off your shots. The cowpoke in his sights falls from his pony as the heavy bullet slams into his chest.

Jeb’s big buffalo gun roars, and another of the men near the riverbank falls, spinning with the force of the large caliber round.

Another sharp crack rings out nearly simultaneously with Bear Trap’s shot as Riley gently pulls the trigger on his Spencer. The rifle proves deadly accurate on the gunslinger’s hands. The round enters the man’s chest right below his right shoulder as he reached for the pistol at his side. He crumples to the ground without a sound, dead before he hits the dirt.

Marshal Colburn and Michael sneak up behind the wagon, with Buckley following about 20 feet behind. They find it easy to get into position, between the darkness and dust rising from the remnants of the herd. As the gunfire erupts, they can see the cattle begin to stir as though they are about to panic…

OOC: Rustlers # 8, 15, and 17 are down. Colburn and Michael are now in square U8. We are now in normal combat. Please remember to designate which target you are attacking and make a concealment roll if they are outside the light of the lanterns. Initiative Riley: 22 Dusty: 19 Rustler #17: 17, down Rustler #16: 15 Rustler #14: 12 Bear Trap: 11 Dakota: 10 Michael: 10 Rustler #1: 8 Rustler #2: 8 Rustler #3: 8 Rustler #4: 8 Rustler #5: 8 Rustler #6: 8 Rustler #7: 8 Rustler #8: 8, down Rustler #9: 8 Rustler #10: 8 Rustler #11: 8 Rustler #12: 8 Rustler #13: 8 Rustler #15: 7, down Buckley: 6 Cattle: 5

Riley quickly shifts his aim to the next rustler in the group along the river, and sends two .56 caliber slugs his way.

Marshal Colburn

Dusty forfeits the surprise round in order to get closer to the wagon. His intent is to fire from the top left of grid T8.

The Marshal approaches the wagon on light feet, satisfied at the distraction provided by his hilltop riflemen. He motions for Michael and Buckley to head around the left side of the wagon as he steps up behind it. Peering around the right side, he takes aim with his Winchester at the man at the far end of the wagon. A peculiar nostalgic sensation rises in him as he feels the weight of his trusted rifle in his hands, the imminence of the trigger squeeze warming his blood comfortably.

Attack on Target #4: 18
Damage: 7

Bear Trap

Bear Trap quickly reloads Ellie and sights in on another rustler. The buffalo gun cracks the night air again.

OOC: Well since I think you had me shooting #15 the first time even though I said #14, I will plug #14 this time 2+10=12 97 on concealment 7 damage.

OOC: Sorry about that, hk. Thanks for being flexible.

 

[The Shaman]

Without hesitating Dakota works the level of the Winchester, chambering another round, and aiming at another rustler. Again the rifle speaks.

Firing at rustler 9, ranged attack 13, miss chance (20%) 46, damage 11

 

[Committed Hero]

Michael will peek in the back of the wagon, and if it is empty, get to the SW corner of T8 and ready a Colt attack depending on what cowboys 5-7 do.
