Bad Moon over California

Dern fool, Dakota thinks as he fumbles with the Thunderer in its holster.

Initiative: 5. Once he finally manages to get his pistol drawn, Dakota covers the two boys by the wagon with his pistol (ready action), leaving the heavy lifting to Riley and the Marshal.

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 double tap feat. Attack role is 11-2 (double-tap) -2 (range) +12=19. Apparantly, Riley was more worried about getting his gun out quickly then he was about accuracy. Darn quick-draw artist. ;) If that hits (hopefully Deke is flatfooted!) then damage is 3d6=14. Riley has precise shot, so no -4 to hit due to Deke being next to people, if that is an issue.
 


Bear Trap

OOC: Is this a threatening enough move for Bear Trap's readied action to go off? Can I even do a readied action in this situation? Either way, my initiative is 8+2=10. On my turn if I don't have a bullet in my by that point, I am going to power attack 5 and punch Deke in the face 13+11-5=19 which will provoke and attack of oppurtunity if he can take one. Damage is 7+3+2+3+5=20
 

Marshal Colburn

Colburn sees the man go for his pistol, but underestimates his speed. Not quite prepared for a fight against such odds as he and his men present, he fumbles somewhat with his own Colt as his balance on the horse waivers slightly.

Initiative: 19
 

Deke's move catches everyone off guard.. except Riley. His Thunderer practically leaps from its leather with a flash, and the gun's loud report sounds before any of you can even reach for a weapon. The heavy .41 caliber bullet hits Deke high on his gun arm, and he drops the pistol that has started to emerge from its holster where it clatters on the stones. Bear Trap spins with fury in his eyes and smashes his meaty fist into the man's face, where it crushes his nose with a sickening thud. Deke falls back onto the rubble and rolls over onto his side, curling his legs up to meet his chest.

The Marshal's sidearm is out before any of the other men can even consider drawing, and he levels the gun at them with a flat stare. Michael, still crouched near the Mexican, readies himself for action, cautiously watching the wounded man and the others for movement.

The three other men have their arms raised high before Dakota can manage to get his pistol out.

ooc: I ruled that Bear Trap was a bit beyond Deke at the point where he drew, so it took Riley's action to spark off his readied attack.
 

Marshal Colburn

"Wise move boys! Now let's try all this again. Y'all step up here away from that wagon, and keep those hands up."
"Way to stay on top Mr. McLean. And to you Mr. Williams, if I may use the word fine to describe such brute force..." He glances again at the fetally positioned Deke, "...er, maybe I'll stick to callin' you Bear Trap."
With a wink to Bear Trap, he dismounts and starts toward the wagon. "D'Artois, would you give me a hand checkin' this out?"
 

"You bet, Marshal."

D'Artois dismounts and follows Colburn toward the shattered wagon. The men make no moves as you approach the tarp.
 


Riley McClean

The Shaman said:
“Careful there, boys,” calls out Dakota. “Whatever’s in there is stamped U.S. Army on the side.”

"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 Deke's direction.
