Frontier Scum: General Chat

[Mantis]

I shall buy an extra thick coat, some matches, candles and cigarettes. And I'll keep one silver for luck.

[Animalmother]

I'll sell my rat rifle for 10s, so that gives me 28.

Hunting rifle for 20s
Bed roll for 3d
Cigarettes for 1s

Leaves me with 4s remaining.

[Stormbringer]

Okay, character sheets updated:

Mantis, do you think it would be possible to create a Frontier Scum sub-folder within General, so we can keep all these FS threads in some kind of tidy order, or is that asking too much?

[Mantis]

Sorry I totally didn't clock this message when you posted it, Doug. I can create a sub folder when I get home if you still would like one.

Meanwhile, here's my new character ready for when the gang gets back to town.

Spoiler

I like to think that whatever skill he acquired from when he was hustled by another scum was at the hands of Roach.

Amazing, and yes please, I would love to have a sub-folder if you're okay with it.

[Mantis]

No problem, will sort it later.

Happy for you to come up with the skills. My only idea so far is that the one he learned from digging his own grave was possibly some sort of quick draw ability with his pistol or a bonus with bludgeoning weapons as he was able to use the shovel to cave in his assailants face.

[Stormbringer]

After you've bought/sold what you want, please tell me what you have and where it is stashed, then we'll move onto your first adventure.

[Stormbringer]

Your silver pocket watch is worth 25s, by the way.

[Mantis]

I'll buy some more pistol ammunition, a hunting rifle and some rifle ammunition then, after selling my pocket watch. Travelling's dangerous these days so one must arm oneself at the expense of such fine luxuries.

[Mantis]

For flavour can we say that Bluth has tracked Roach to the Loudmouth den and is currently surveiling the house from long range with his rifle so that he can set upon the party when they emerge from the heist?

[Stormbringer]

Thanks for setting this up! It will hopefully keep things tidier.

Sure, if you like! The Loudmouths who visited the Purple Belt Saloon, blathering about their gang's current hideout, were so loud and so drunk, every rival gang and rag-tag bounty hunter in Palace is headed to the Horsehead Ranch.

It's alright, most of them asked the bartender for directions so they're heading out east.
