[SERENITY RPG] Redridge and Beyond

[Just_Hal]

Gren pulls out his pistol puts the barrel equal to Jesse's head and states

"You have two choices.....lose this here one on one war to a browncoat or take the drink I offered and leave all peaceful like."

*clicks back pistol's hammer*
"Make a decision there, my finger is getting tired"

 

[Galethorn]

Gordon pulled a pistol with his right hand and gave a loud 'ahem' in the direction of the altercation.

"Gren, I'm inclined to take you and Demetrie's side on this, but I've got qualms about people puttin' bullets in each other when they don't need to."

He aimed his pistol at Jesse.

"Now, Jesse, I'd be thinking about puttin' my gun back if I were you, and I'd take that drink."

Seeing that violence I about to break out and never one to stand on the sidelines, Esther decides that action now may save some heartache later and besides as much as she could care less about the feud between sides she didn’t like the way the thugs were representing her side.

Had he even fought in the war or participated in meaningful conflicts?

Esther moves purposefully towards Jesse hopefully from behind and without a word plants her foot to the back of his head with grace and skill. Maybe a little rough but this good needed to shut his mouth and the only thing these yokels seem to understand is violence!

Kung Fu kick to the head D10 + D8 total; if she succeeds she will glare at his friends and try to Intimidate them with a glance Discipline action D6 + D8… chances are this won’t go as planned…

If she misses or he does not go down she will drop into a Raging Tiger stance ready for action and press the attack and try and keep him from drawing his pistol, if he does draw she will attempt to disarm him.

Demetrie tried to stifle a grin after making his urine joke. He was waiting for the response (humor always seemed to avert violence) when Gren spoke up and escalated the encounter. Gorram it, Gren Demetrie thought to himself.

Ignoring the comment Jessie made about his hat, Demetrie looked over to Gren, trying to cast a glance to get him to calm down, but the next thing he knew, Gren had a pistol in his hand and apparantly so did Jesse. The situation was clearly getting out of hand.

With Jesse and Gren locking their eyes on one another, Demetrie quickly cast galnces left and right, looking for a place he might find quick cover.

 

[Dagger75]

With a gun pointed at Smitts forehead and one pointed at his back Smitts hand looks like he is about to release his gun when.....

Ester gracfully gets up and circle kicks Smitts in the head.

Smitts grabs the back of his head, everyone looks around stunned.

Gren, Gordon and Esther all have that look that don't feel like playing around.

"Lets get the hell outta of this gorram swill hole. You browncoats can drink your own piss water."

(Nice roles for everbody intimidatin Smitts and his gang. I even used your things don't go right Gordon, but actually rolled higher, tonight mist have been a good night)

Smitts turns around and him and his posse leave. Flipping rude gestures at the The Brown Dog, a few yards down the road Smitts rubbing the back of his head. His group stumbles around the corner outta sight.

"Rounds for everyone!!!!" Scotts says.

The bar errupts into applause. Gren and Gordon getting many congrats and free drinks the rest of the night. Demetrie is also ribbed a little about his joke. Many people offer to fill his glass "The Alliance Way."
Esther many people would like to congratadulate you as well but they seem a little afraid. Scotts pours a drink from an expensive looking bottle from under the bar and hands you the drink with a wink.


Plot points for Gren, Demetrie, Gordon and Esther. Don't worry there will be many, many opprotunities to get plot points for the rest of you.

John you will be happy to know you managed to fix the generator, again. Hopefully this time it will stay fixed. You have gathered a small congragation of miners and there families. You are paid with nice fresh cooked meal by one of the families.

Dr. Hitchcock looks like you won't have to stitch anybody off or take any bullets outta bodies tonight.

Tomorrow is a new day in Redridge.

(That was fun )

Demetrie is a bit startled, and flinches a bit, when Smitts’ head bounces forward from Esther’s kick. Before he can react though, the gang turns tail and heads out of the bar. Demetrie readjusts his hat and pulls on the maroon silk lapels of his jacket, straightening it out.

“Now, who was the one who turn-tailed and run away while pissing their pants?” Demetrie called after Smitts and his gang in a moment of bravado.

Demetrie turned back toward the bar and the rest of the crowd. “Why I haven’t seen a hasty retreat like that since I was back on Athens. Like I said, we’d been pinned down, but gorram it, we fought through and chased those purple bellies off….”

Demetrie’s story let his story fade as the crowd began congratulating those involved in the tussle.

Demetrie picked up a drink off of the bar, and hoisted it in the air, “To free men everywhere! Their sheer numbers might have won them the war, but they’ll never kill our spirit!”

With that, he downed the shot glass and slammed the glass back on the table. “One of your finest please, Scotts.”

While waiting for his drink to be poured, Demetrie looked around the bar. His eyes met Esther’s. He looked on her for a moment, and then winked before turning back to the bar and his fresh drink. He picked it up and tipped his glass towards her before knocking it back.

Gren:
Pulls his hands off Jesse's holster to stop his gun pull, and was about to lower his pistol when Jesse's face slammed into the barrell.
"Huh?" Gren mutters and moves back not knowing what happened.
"Thank ya for the swift kick to the ass (points to Jesse), but we did have it under control."
Gren grabs the free rounds and broods a bit at the bar.

Mumbles something about pain in the ass alliance officers and such, keeps drinking and then eventually thanks everybody for the bulletless evening and goes back to his apartment.

(I have one right?)

I'll take it!

Goes back to my room above the "Coughing Weasel", Redridge's bst place for finer men's apparel.

Esther does not say anything but just nods to anyone directing any speech towards her. She walks back to her seat and looks at her glass once more contemplating the rotgut sitting before her.

Browncoats, always spouting off about freedom? But is this really freedom, they live like animals… wild and reckless with none of the civility of the Core… all they understand is violence… they speak freedom, but they live no better then wild beasts…

She contemplates the drink for a moment more before making a decision. She stands and places the bottle of whiskey next to Demetrie along with her still full glass, “On me, I have lost my appetite for this rotgut this evening.”
