Scene IV: Everything Will Burn!

[Sly Boots]

Which I did!

4 + 3 + 4 = 11

Could you now roll me a d4+1 please?

3 (2+1)

[Animalmother]

Cumflutter will aim at one of the vision ports with his rifle.

[Stormbringer]

After depositing the dynamite, Doc leaps clear of the iron behemoth as it rumbles toward the gang.

A second later, there's a muffled BOOM from within, and a sudden blast of smoke belches out of the viewing slits and the chimney. The machine comes to a stand-still, and does not move again.

[Wrathbone]

I'll look for a hatch and stand nearby with my guns aimed at it.

[Sly Boots]

Doc lies panting on the ground, slightly horrified in hindsight at what he just did. Jinx wanders over and licks his face.

He'll be resting here for a little bit now

[Stormbringer]

No hatches open; nothing can be heard from within.

Doc has obliterated the entire crew.


You may continue on to the General Store if you so choose, or head down the street, eastward, in the direction of the mayor's house.

[Wrathbone]

Could be worth asking the blacksmith if he can get it up and running again.

[Stormbringer]

I doubt that; Doc dropped the dynamite into the engine. Useful for scrap metal, though!

[Animalmother]

General Store please. No doubt we'll meet an airship if it keeps escalating like this.

[Sly Boots]

Doc will peel himself up from the ground and wordlessly stagger towards the general store.

[Stormbringer]

The Bean Bunch, minus the obliterated Miss Pitts, arrive at the General Store.

Thankfully the building's still intact, and not on fire yet, though smoke and sparks are billowing through the sky amidst the cacophony of gunfire and screams all about.

To your surprise, the door is unlocked and there's no sign of enemy soldiers anywhere.

The usual proprietor is behind his counter. Apparently it's 'business as usual' at the general store.

[Wrathbone]

I thought all my silver had exploded in my saddlebags, but my character sheet says I have 180s. Did I recover some?

[Sly Boots]

Did someone say gang of bicycles?

[Stormbringer]

I thought all my silver had exploded in my saddlebags, but my character sheet says I have 180s. Did I recover some?

No, that is a Game Marshall error. That's Cumflutter's!

[Wrathbone]

In that case, I openly start reloading my weapons and say:

"I don't rightly like sales, and I really don't like profiteers. Tell you what - my friend here just took down some mechanical steam contraption out there which was setting fire to everything. Good scrap, valuable. How 'bout you give me one of these dubious-lookin' bicycles and you take whatever you want from the metal beast outside?"
