Re: Frontier Scum, Scene II: Horsehead Ranch
You, meanwhile, I have just recalled, are still recovering from your close shave with death.
You need to sit down and rest (+d4 HP) and maybe take a smoke (+1 HP) and a drink of water (+1HP) to recover from the ordeal, before you take any further actions near the ranch house.

My fire is more than can be made with forests,
My state more base than are the basest valleys;
I wish no evenings more to see, each evening;
Shamed, I hate myself in sight of mountains,
And stop mine ears, lest I grow mad with music.

Nice work!
You climb up that rope like the Pale Rider's on your tail!
Haulin' your ass over the side of the well, now you're in a state of shock and need a rest (+d4 HP) and a smoke (+1 HP) and a drink (+1 HP) to recover!

That's 2 on the d4. I don't have any water as I tipped it away to decant two doses of my laudanum into the flask before making the molotov (although I see now it's not on my character sheet, so not sure if I wasn't allowed to do that or if it just got missed in all the excitement?)Stormbringer wrote: ↑Fri May 23, 2025 8:38 amNice work!

Either way I'll light up a smoke as I ponder the interior of the main house, to go up to 3 out of 4 hp.

Cumflutter passes the CK his water bottle.

I thank Cumflutter for his gentlemanly concern and hand him 25 of the silver coins from the well for his troubles.Animalmother wrote: ↑Fri May 23, 2025 8:46 amCumflutter passes the CK his water bottle.

Doc moseys on back to the rest of the group sitting around the well, including a wide-eyed, bedraggled Cadaver Kid - looking every inch his nickname, currently, Doc thinks to himself.
"Well, while you were taking in the many delightful spelunking spots in the region, I had a quick look-see in the main house. I couldn't see any sign of the inhabitants, which makes me think they're towards the southern end of the building - or not the north end, leastways. Nor any sign of Mumbling Manny, who I assume has escaped to warn his fellows about our presence.
"I suspect we'll need to act fast if we're to retain any element of surprise, though what that action should be, I can't imagine."

It also occurs to Doc that they still haven't searched the hut Manny and co were in properly. Now that the eastern hut is free of tomahawks and other delights, he'll go over and poke around there looking for anything useful...

Re: Frontier Scum, Scene II: Horsehead Ranch
May I just remind the Doc that while he did indeed not see anyone through that one particular angle, he did hear some folks laughing and chatting in that room...
(also, Cadaver Kid might need some laudanum right now...not that I want to interfere too much)

Roach cocks his shotgun and aims it at the main building.
"Now just say the word boys, I can put that little door in with my big ol' boot, no problem. Don't ask how I know where to kick, I developed this skill in a rather harrowing affair of which the memory still displeases my stomach."

Battered and stinking, I reload my revolver.
"Remember we want that combo, if we can persuade 'em to give it up. But I concur that they've signed their own death warrants."

Sensing the growing restlessness of his companions Doc will hasten his search of the building recently vacated by Manny...
