Hey, Mr. Vlad:
do we start with any Karma or XP? (hint, hint, hint)
Bullets: Do the guns come loaded or are they pulled from our beginning inventory of bullets?

Hey, Mr. Vlad: do we start with any Karma or XP? (hint, hint, hint) No, you get nothing. Okay, you talked me into it. Give yourself 1 karma point and... that's it. Bullets: Do the guns come loaded or are they pulled from our beginning inventory of bullets? They come holding the max. ... You'll need them all. Hint, hint, hint  |

Dark, I was kinda hoping that your character would have been named "Smith." ;-)

Let me hop in here and clear up what looks like some ambiguity. You've been tracking the undead and their leader for most of the night, but you haven't actually seen any of them until now. You've just seen their tracks, maybe some destroyed livestock, etc. Farther down the hill, out of sight behind you, your horses are tethered to a rocky spur in the ground. Your horses are not close by. They're at least forty yards away, out of sight. |

If Jeremiah sees a couple of anchor points that the Revenants will pass between, he'll stretch his lasso between the two points about 8 inches off the ground.

As Beck was dropping back he was removing the stick of dynamite from his belt and lighting it. .. It's actually three things: shouldering your rifle, withdrawing a stick of dynamite, and lighting it all in that time, while taking a dozen steps backward. Hmm...  Okay, I suppose that's feasible. Beck can throw the dynamite in the surprise round. After the surprise round, he doesn't get to fire a weapon. Instead, he's withdrawing a firearm during that round. Jones can fire during the Surprise Round and the First Round. And just because I like to keep things as complex as possible, here's what we'll do... The success of the dynamite throw will effect how many Revenants are caught in the blast. 3/DX=6 3/DX-3=7 3/DX-4=8 Missed Throw=5 After that, how many then get tripped by the rope? Unbeknownst to you (or maybe not), lurking in the shadows is the Hoodoo Man, who's actually controlling these horrors. He sees what you've done, and is trying to urge his charges to leap over the rope. This will be a roll I make (and just to keep things on the up-and-up) the Hoodoo Man has an IQ of 13. 3/IQ=Half the remaining revenants avoid the rope (rounded-up) 3/IQ-3=60% avoid 3/IQ-4=70% avoid Failed Check=30% All right. You can go ahead and make your roll(s), and I'll follow suit. You can post it on the Prologue board. |

Vlad Barron, I present the following just for the sake of debate...I posit that in the given environment (grassland), visibility (night) and location (inches off the ground) of the trip line that the Hoodoo Man must be quite close to be able to see it. Also please consider that the line was placed before Beck announced the Seekers presence. In my mind I would expect that the Hoodoo Man was focused on the ruckus at the house. When the shooting started he would have seen one man shooting and one running back towards the shooter's position. If the Hoodoo Man was close enough to spot Jones before he placed the trip line, then there should have been a chance that either or both of the Seekers might have spotted him as well, especially since they surveyed the scene before starting any actions. (So your honor (Is that the proper way to address the GM who holds the positions of Judge, Jury and Executioner?), how persuasive is my argument?  ) |

Upon further review...the call stands.
Nope, I'm afraid you haven't seen him, and can't see him now.
Jones is still at the plate. He gets his first round shot (and do state which firearm he's using).

Are the Seekers charged a time-out?

Vlad, let's say Gar wanted to shoot at more than one target in his three bullet spurt per round from the Gatling pistol. What would the mechanic be for such shots (I'm assuming he would have prior knowledge of this).

Moving your arm, new target, and shot with a dodgy gun in one action...
-3 DX for each subsequent shot after the first (2nd shot= -3DX; 3rd shot= -6DX)

Vlad, when my character blows a roll like he just did, how would you like me to role-play it? Does he know that he just can't put his finger on it or should I run with the wrong diagnosis?

Okay, I suppose that's feasible.
