All right, you shot the Sheriff dead!

Now there's two deputies left, both mounted!

Cumflutter and Doc, you may act!
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.

This is probably not a great look to our likely new companion, observing events from a distance. :lol:

That guy's head bursts open like a watermelon!

All three are now dead.

I stroll over to Boone’s corpse and take his badge and his cuffs (if he has them).

“Damn shame that they turned up before us and got shot up by the Loudmouths, but at least we avenged them.”

Then I start dragging his body into the ranch building, which I guess we’re going to torch?

Oh, and I reclaim the heads.

At this point Scrancher will descend from his vantage point, rifle slung across his back. He talks loudly at nobody in particular as he gets within earshot.

"Well, well, you boys caused quite a mess up here didn't you? Unfortunate business with the sheriff there, very unfortunate. Now I am of a law abiding disposition and a good honest citizen of high caliber, so it would cause me great anguish and disturb my equilibrium, should anyone ever ask, to say that I saw the sheriff and his men shoot first after trying to extort you fine gentlemen. If you follow my drift?"

All three deputies have hunting rifles (Cumflutter, do you wish to strip the ammo?)

They also all three have cuffs (if you want three sets), and they have (between them)...

- a ticket stub
- a safety pin
- a photograph of Boone posing with a pet snake

Now it just so happens that this very pet snake in the photograph is in Boone's saddle-bags, and when Cadaver Kid goes to remove the heads of the Loudmouths from within, this snake lashes out and attempts to bite him.

Test SLICK, Cadaver Kid! (d20+1)

I assume Scrancher is a little bit put out when his introduction is ignored as a snake lunges at the Kid and all hell breaks out :lol:

“Tarnation!”

15 + 1 = 16

I leap back and brandish my knife in case it leaps out.

“Sorry new fella, be with you in but a moment. Hell of a night we’ve had here.”

To strike the snake with your knife, test GRIT!
