You think back to that night in Rhyolite. The night you left all your friends and the closest thing you had to family dead in the dust. Dead without graves. Ghosts that follow you every step you take.

Visions dance behind your eyes. Hooded figures on horseback, pistols and blades flashing, womenfolk screaming in terror, children crying, gunshots, the stink of burning meat. You remember it all like it was yesterday. A slightly prosperous town burned to blood and ashes on one night over a slighted ranchers spoiled son and his "Gang".

You spit into the dust, resuming your walk through the wastes. As you walk you adjust your gunbelt, fingers sliding over the well worn grip of...

The heavy, rounded grip of your trusty sawed off is as comforting to you as an old friend. You think back to the days when these barrels were longer and rode shotgun as a caravan guard. A trusted man who protected important travelers, supplies and good old fashioned money.

That night after you hadn't been quick enough on the draw to stop the deaths of dozens you had cut the barrels and grip down to just over the length of a large pistol. Its inaccurate past knife fighting range but its deadly as hell in practiced hands. In YOUR hands.

U wot? If we had a full-size shotgun then sure, I could maybe see that, but a sawn-off is effective about as far out as a few meters.

Mid range compared to an axe anon.

>>1539460
Look at this anon. Assuming there are caravans out here in the Wasteland.

I kid. I kid. There are lots of them and the men (and other things) that attack them are pretty fucking nasty

That is mid range for us. Not long distance, not melee.

>>1539464
Hah.

>>1539481
I was gonna say...we used to be a guard for a caravan. It was in our backstory that got picked.

>>1539482
That would be short-ranged, not mid-ranged.

>>1539480
You could kill just as reliably with a tomahawk as you could with a sawn-off at the same ranges if you were actually good at throwing the thing. Sawn-offs really are only good for a short range outside of melee.

>>1539507
Tomahawks were thrown for fun as a test of skill, in a pitched battle you wouldn't want your main close combat weapon stuck in the bones of an enemy.

>>1539513
A shotgun can be reloaded. A thrown weapon needs to be retrieved.

"Fucking funnybone motherfucking fuck" you yelp, rubbing the offending nerve. You shift your rifle, drawing it and looking through the scop to make sure the glass is still in focus after the rough country you just came through.

You picked the rifle up in a small town named Jekoba. Fine gunsmiths there but few men who had the heart to them. You doubt any of them are still alive to be honest. You slide the rifle back in its case and step back, the glint of metal catching your eye as your traveling mirror falls out of your pack.

Picking it up and looking into it reveals a....

That was waaayyyy back east however. Were in the wastes now where shit gets WEIRD.

>>1539513
Most people had a knife as well as a tomahawk. And sometimes it is preferable to throw the axe rather than hold onto it. There is no perfect choice for every situation.

>>1539520
>>A mail backed leather vest over a cotton shirt under a thin, waist length coat over canvas pants and cracked, split boots. A wanderers outfit

Practical. Some discomfort is better than an easy death.

>>1539530
I said earlier that you will have the opportunity to purchase additional gear and weapons.

>>1539535
I know. I'm just giving my opinion on the matter.

>>1539530
I'd rather keep my hawk over a knife thanks. And this is a quest where we aren't bristling with weapons, so far we don't have a backup melee weapon. Throwing your main backup weapon, when you have a sawed off and a rifle with a fragile scope is suicidal. Can't well use that rifle as a club when you need the scope for tons of other things.

>>1539520
>>A mail backed leather vest over a cotton shirt under a thin, waist length coat over canvas pants and cracked, split boots. A wanderers outfit

Needs a hat of some kind, though. Ballcap or cowboy. Either one is good.

>>1539520
>A mail backed leather vest over a cotton shirt under a thin, waist length coat over canvas pants and cracked, split boots. A wanderers outfit

>>1539524
I love weird, reminds me of fallout.

>>1539550
Let's say there's a guy with a spear, and spears are fucking deadly as hell, and you already used your shotgun and need to reload. You're actually safer throwing the tomahawk at him rather than attempting to close the distance. Because spears are wicked fucking fast. And if I had to choose between clubbing someone and breaking my scope rather than risking getting impaled or some shit, I would take it.

Keep in mind scopes are helpful but not 100% necessary. Scope glint can give you away like a motherfucker in any brightly lit wide-open expanse like a desert or wasteland. And as long as you have sharp eyes and good skills you can still bullseye a man sized target from very far away.

I'm not saying you're wrong but there isn't always going to be a clear cut solution to everything. Sometimes it's better to take a gamble.

You look at yourself momentarily, the reflection showing you a far different one than the one that left Rhyolite all those years ago.

Your jacket doesnt keep out the cold of the wasteland nights but it keeps the sun off of you. Mostly. Your hat is old, sweatstained cotton in the "cowboy" style, a leather band running around the rim. Under the jacket is a mail backed vest, perfect for keeping out claws, blades and comfort. Your pants are often patched canvas over a pair of cracked leather , held together with nails and glue. You smile into the mirror, weathered skin crackling slightly as you do. Its been a long road but you've survived and come off better for it.

>Stat list incoming

>>1539605
Then you back up and reload that shotgun, or just load. The weapon that kills fastest, that you already have in hand wins. Drop the gun, draw the axe and throw...versus load gun and shoot? What you're describing sounds more like a panic response.

And I never mentioned closing the distance, ever. The hawk is a backup weapon, going full melee in a world of guns is dicey at best. Just not a fan of throwing said backup weapon, and in real life I enjoy throwing knives for fun.

>>1539630
>just back up and load the gun

And the guy who is close enough to close in and start stabbing at you is going to let you? Since the tomahawk is going to be on our belt or otherwise easily accessible yes it will be faster to take it out and throw it. And a sawn-off doesn't need two hands to use, you can still hold it while grabbing the axe. Loading a breech-operated gun isn't exactly easy while running. Not impossible but not easy. And you'd have to turn around to get really running, and turning your back on someone is the dumbest of things you can do if you plan on turning back around, which you would be to shoot him. All that does is give him even more time to charge you and stick you.

>>1539643
Well if you don't plan on closing when a guy with a longer ranged melee weapon is close enough for you to actually consider them an immediate threat then you plan on sitting there and trying not to get stabbed. And blocking thrusts from a small visible object like a spearhead pointed straight at you is difficult because it's small and quick. Even harder since you have a short weapon like a tomahawk.

If you had time to reload you wouldn't consider the tomahawk in the first place.

You decide that walking through this desert of the weird at night is a bad idea. Hitching Slate to a dead tree you begin gathering dry wood and tinder, forming a small ring of stones against a small stone outcropping beneath a fallen billboard advertising something called "-oca-Co-" in large red letters.

You set your bedroll up against the rock outcrop and light your fire, feeding the hungry flame with shredded sagebrush and twigs, building up to bigger chunks, the bone dry wood burning smokelessly. You pull your hat over your eyes and lay your shotgun across your lap, falling asleep in moments.

>The next morning

You stretch, yawning loudly as cramped muscle twinges. You gnaw on a chunk of jerky as you feed Slate a few cups of oats and molasses chunks. The high energy feed is perfect out here. As you "enjoy" a breakfast of jerky, dried fruit and water you scan the horizon. To your west, somewhere along the road is Dayton, one of the better wasteland settlements.

But a bit closer to you to the southwest a greasy trail of black smoke crawls upward, curving in the wind.

I meant Daston. My phone likes to correct me

You sigh. Odds are its one of three things. A trap. A bunch of caravaners got waylaid or some idiot is burning tarwood and rubber and is about to get himself shot in the face for being an idiot.

You aren't sure which is going to ruin your day more.

You mount up on Slate, the grouchy Mule snorting slightly as you untie the reins and kick his ribs.

"Heeyah you shit!" you shout, coat flapping as he breaks into a earth shaking gallop. The fire is only a few miles away and you get there within the hour, the dust flying high behind you.

The Smoke is coming over a ridge only a hundred or so yards off the road, multiple tracks and footprints headed that way and none returning.

You leap off of Slate and loop his lead around a convenient rusted out post, the Beast panting slightly in the dry heat.

Crawling quickly to the top of the Ridge you peer over carefully, keeping your head low.

Shit. Shit fire and piss barbed wire.

A group of 5 men stand around a burning wagon, crates and barrels piled high while the driver, his wagon team and guard lay dead, scalped and in the beasts case, Butchered.

You sigh, shaking your head. It just HAD to be bandits.

Fuck. Fuck fuckity fuck.

You turn and slide back down the ridge, you'll be needing your rifle for this. Unbeknownst to you a rock was knocked loose on the other side and went bouncing its merry way down the ridge. You reach Slate and just as you put your hand on the stock of the rifle a Gunshot rings out, puffing the dust by your feet. You turn your head and see three men walking standings atop the ridge while another 2 slide down. You see 2 pistols, a shotgun and a Old lever action among them and don't like your odds at all

"Why dontcha just take your hands off'n that there rifle? Id hate to splatter your brains all over that fine piece of mule flesh you got there "

You raise your hands, eying the men carefully. Young yes. Badly equipped yes. Stupid? Probably. You grit your teeth as the two youngest approach, one wielding a rusted out old pistol and the other armed with a notched bowie

"Easy there buddy. How about'chu hand me that there Scattergun 'afore you blow yer hand off" says the pistol wielder, a boy of no more than sixteen with a smattering of whore-sores around his mouth amid his abundant acne

"What? This one?"
Quick as a flash you draw, the barrels coming to a rest just under his chin in the hollow of his scrawny throat. With a booming report the first barrel discharges, the heavy shot ripping through throat, spine and back the other side.

Before the boys head has hit the ground you reverse the grip, smashing aside the knife wielders blade amid his shout of "Jimmy!" the anguished cry cutting off with a deep crunch as the butt breaks his hand like an egg. Hooking a arm around his throat you begin sidestepping, small load bullets thunking home in the boys bony chest, blood spurting from his lips as you dive behind a nearby rusted out old "Auto-Mobile", bullets plunking from the metal sides and roof.

I love it when I get to use this folder of reaction images!

You risk a glance over the top of the rusted out hulk and smile in glee. There damn near within spitting distance and standing clumped up like a bunch of scared chickens. You guess they'd never seen one of their buddies literally get his head blown off and then they shot the youngest if their number to death by accident.

"Hey boys!" you yell cheekily, swinging the heavy barreled shotgun over the top. You don't even bother to aim, just pointing it in the general direction of the group and squeezing the trigger.

As always the recoil nearly shatters your wrist. The deafening report and cloud of thick blue smoke kill your senses for a moment before it clears.

Over the ringing in your ears you can hear screams of pain and curses of pure, wounded pain. Peering over the top again you spy one bandit-boy laying very still, chest spread open, one rolling around clutching the stump of an arm and one holding a both hands (both very white) against the side of his throat.

Standing over the young men you can't help but feel pitiful. Not a one is older than nineteen and that's being generous. The now righthanded one peers up at you with eyes glazed by agony as his lifeblood seeps away.

"Now why did you have to go and do stupid shot like this for kid" you spit onto his chest, reloading your shotgun before holstering it. His pistol is 6 feet away still clutched in his hand. You feel safe.

"Fuck you wander'r... We had us... A good thing going... Till yer hoss fuckin ass showed up... Go to hell and go there thirsty..."

"Because you little shit. People deserve to be able to travel safely on these roads without having to worry about being murdered by their own fellow man. There's worse things to worry about out here."

Kneeling you pull the boys shiny, nicked blade from its belt, sliding the sharp steel through the sweaty skin of his throat until the crimson blood flows. Before the light even leaves his eyes you grab a hand of his hair in your fist, sawing back on forth though the skin of his scalp as his feet drum in the dust. With a wet *Squelch* you pop the hair free and cut free a large square of the boys shirt, wrapping it tightly.

Digging through their pockets and saddlebags reveals a decent haul of supplies.

You buckle the blonde youths knife to your belt after wiping the blade on his shirt, the hank of hair safely tucked into your back pocket. You sling the short lever action carbine over your back by its strap and buckle on the small gunbelt that goes with it to your thigh. The large canteen goes over your shoulder by its strap, still mostly full by your guess. And last but not least is a decently full coinpurse that is dumped into your own wallet and and thrown away.

The rest of the loot (minus the food) is dumped into a hole under a rock and marked with the bloody head of "Jimmy". After burying the bodies of the Caravaner and his guard and leaving the severed heads of "The little Shit gang" on wooden posts on the roadside you make camp for the night. The food makes a delicious dinner of (slightly) fresh salted meat and some pickled vegetables. They even had some tobacco the lucky bastards. You roll up a cigarette with the meager remains and puff on it until you fall asleep.

In the morning you stretch comfortably, having slept well on the tattered remains of the bandits horseblankets. You rise and eat a small breakfast of leftovers from last night, finishing off your leftovers. You think you could make it to Daston before it got too late in the afternoon if nothing happened

You continue your endless walk across this burned out husk of a world with a full belly and a heaver wallet. There was once a day where you would have shirked from killing such young men, scalping one and then leaving their heads on posts.

That day is LONG past.

the miles melt away beneath your feet as the road becomes visibly more traveled and outlying homes and ranches begin appearing. The homes are protected by high walls of mud brick and sheet metal and on a ranches watchtower you catch the glint of a scope in the bright sunlight.

Seems youre being watched.

No matter, you've had guns and eyes pointed at you before. You cluck to Slate with your tongue, urging the Mule along as Daston comes into view.

As wasteland Towns go its a lively place. The road runs straight through the town through a large gate lined with spikes and sheets of metal. Men wander along the top or sit its shade, armed with long rifles and crossbows.
People are visible walking through the streets within, wagons and animals making up the traffic.

The smells of smoke, unwashed people and shit already reaching your nostrils and you grimace.

"Back to civilization" you spit into the dust, eying the men hanging from ropes along the towns brick and sheet metal wall. Wooden signs nailed to their chests read in red sloppy letters "Cattel Russlerz"

"By the loosest definition"

Nearing the Gate one of the guards finally takes notice and approaches, hand on the grip of what looks like a single shot handcannon

"Hey there wander'r. What business ye got in Daston? We don't got no tolerance for troublemakers"
With a gesture towards the boots swinging along the wall he grins, showing muddy brown teeth
"So don't be causing none. Ya hear? Now Whats yer damn business. Sheriff likes to keep a log"

If this sheep fucker can write you'd die of shock right here but you REALLY dont want to get into a shootout here.

"Just looking for work. Wallets feeling a bit light for my liking and I know there's always work for a man willing to do it in towns like this" you say smoothly, looking the guard in his bloodshot eyes.

"Well ain't that just impress've. Not a lot of men these days got the back or heart for work. Lazy buncha layabouts!" he spits on the ground, phlegm mixed with blood, gesturing at his fellow guard snoozing in the shade

Irony at its finest.

"So what kinda work are ye looking fer? Ranch hands are always wanted, pays shit but you can come an go as ye please between work seasons. We got a few openings fer deputies if'n ye can sweettalk the sheriff. And if yer any good with them hot-irons then there's a Marshall's office with some bounties up. Take yer pick and welcome to Daston stranger "

You shake the mans bony hand and lead Slate into the town, eying the dusty buildings filled with dustier people. You hitch Slate to a post by a water trough (shockingly full of clean water) in front of a Squat, long building with a sign over it reading
"Jenerul Stoor". The armed guard out front will likely dissuade any of the street urchins from stealing from your saddlebags.

>Head to the Sherrifs office. Big building with a Star over it.

>Head down to the Marshall's office. Small building with a Skull and dollar sign over the door.

go to the marshals office, find the bounty board and then try to talk the marshal up from the agreed price

Your boots knock dust from the worn boards of the walkway as you make your way down to the Marshall's office.

It doesn't matter how far humanity goes or falls. Someone will pay money for someone else to die. Its the one constant. Besides whores. Theyre the other.

The Marshall's office is a small building, three men standing out front seem to be debating going in, the rusted out pistols showing that they are fledgling bounty hunters, probably about to take their first job.

You nod at them before knocking at the door, waiting for your invitation
"Come on in ye fucker. Don't let the dust in I just swept up" growls a gravelly voice from within.

You knock your boots against the doorframe, stepping in carefully before you close the door behind you.

The Marshall is seated behind a worn wooden desk, feet on the top and reclining in his chair. A squat iron safe sits behind him. To his left on the wall is a ancient corkboard with multiple bounty sheets pinned to it.

He is a man of average height, slightly heavyset with the skull and dollar sign of a Marshall pinned to his black vest.

He tips his head to you and pulls the large pipe from his mouth, looking at you blearily with one good eye, the other a gaping scarred socket.

"Afternoon stranger. In Marshall Weathers. What can I do fer ye" he rumbles, knocking ash from his pipe before repacking it.

>In looking for work if you've got any. What bounties do you have out?

Yup.

You reach behind your back wordlessly, smiling slightly as the old Marshall's hand twitches toward the underside of the desk and chuckle
"Just pulling out proof of a kill sir. Try not to kill me yet"

The Marshall's eye glitters and crinkles at the edges and he nods, impressive moustache twitching slightly.
"Lets see it then boyo. Might have a few coins for it if'n hes from around here"

You pull the slightly bloodstained scrap of shirt out from your back pocket, unwrapping the tight layers one by one until its interior is revealed. You set the hank of white- blond hair and red scalp down on tie Marshall's desk, watching his eye carefully.
"Well id prefer the rest of him for proof to be honest. But Ive made do with less before. Young man was he? Bout eighteen or nineteen?" he asks gruffly, inspecting the lump of tissue and hair

"Yep, him and four other boys. Seemed to be the leader so I scalped him and left his and the others on sticks" you reply smoothly, already hearing the coins jingle in your mind.

"Carried a short gripped carbine? Skull carved on the side?" he asks again, moustache twitching with faintest smile.

"Yep. A fair few notches on it as well. Ive got it on my mule if you want to look." you can't help but grin now.

"Green eyes? You musta got close to scalp him so I doubt you didn't see them bright green eyes he was known for" the Marshall's hand creeps under the desk at this.

You stop, thinking back to the dying boys eyes.

"Blue. Blue as the sky before I closed em forever" you reply honestly

The Marshall grins. You've passed the test it seems.

"This'n here was Aaron Young. "Young Snowtop" they called him on account of this purty white hair. Small timer with a few other lowlifes with him from what we heard. He run oft after we hung his pa and older brother for cattle rustling. Ill give you twenty Shines for him.

Well, it's southeast from here by about a day, nearby an old wrecked "Auto-Mobile" thing. There's about four heads on posts, one head on a rock. That boy, whore's sores around the mouth and acne all over his face, was called Jimmy. As an added bonus, there's what remains of their armory under the rock where Jimmy's sitting.

>>1541232

"Hold up there Marshall. I don't want to sound greedy but I killed his whole damn gang too. If you don't believe me about a days ride southeast of here there's 4 heads on posts and one on a rock. ONE of those heads formerly belonged to Young Snowtop. The head on the rock is called Jimmy sonethin' or other. Under that rock is what's left of their loot and gear. Send a man out to check if you don't believe me but I feel I deserve a bit more than twenty shines. I won't take less than thirty." you finish, lightly smacking the surface of the desk as you lean forward. You put your life on the line Damnit. You deserve a little extra.

The Marshall regards you with his one good eye for a moment, moustache twitching as he thinks. Finally he nods and turns, withdrawing a key from his pocket and unlocking the safe. From where you sit you catch the glimpse of dozens of coins of every kind. A small fortune lays within.

He carefully counts out thirty Shines, biting one at random every so often to show their legitimacy before pushing the small pile into a small leather bag and sliding it over to you.

"Thirty is plenty fair payment for getting rid of those scum. Sorry for short changing you. Ill send a man by tomorrow to check and make sure your telling the truth though. Stay in town till he gets back or ill have a paper for you on this wall here" he growls with a small smile.

"Wouldn't think of it Marshall. Names Dermot. Dermot MCcade. I have a feeling we're gonna get real familiar with each other" you racy out, shaking the older mans large, knotted hand as you collect your payment.

"Before I go Marshall, I just wanted to know if you knew of any Caravans or convoys headed out that might need a guard? I was a pretty fair hand at the trade when I was younger and Ive only gotten better" you say proudly, hoping that the chance for a paid trip to the next town comes up.

The Marshall chews his pipe as he thinks, twiddling his large thumbs.
"Well i know that Smithers is taking a wagon or two of food and such down to Jacobstown. Shouldn't need a guard but he wouldn't turn you down. Stevenson, hes the Gunstore owner, is sending out three wagons of arms and ammunition down to Kestraya. They've been having troubles with Bandits down there I hear. And the Bank has a outgoing coin-coach headed out. Got nearly a thousand shines on it i heard. They'll definetly be needing as many guards as they can get." he nods vigorously, obviously proud of his mental faculties

You shake Marshall Weathers hand again before leaving, nodding to the young men outside as you do. Your wallet is heavier and your back pocket is scalp free.

Time do some shopping

You nod to the armed guard out front, a sour faced man armed with a four barreled scattergun. He grunted, chewing some kind of green weed. His positively atrocious breath nearly knocks you backward and you wince at the stink.

You hold your breath and step inside the poorly lit general store. Behind the counter a rather fat man with a tiny moustache and beard is polishing a small timepiece with a oil cloth.

various pieces of equipment and junk litter the walls and shelves. Tools, food, drink, rope of all kind, traps and dozens of other things are available.

"Welcome welcome Stranger. I see ya met Minty out front eh? Smells sweet don't he? HAHAHA he chews that mint like its candy but he still smells like a muties rotten ass. What can I get fer ya my friend what can I get ya?"

Well Fuck. We already had a bag of mule fodder so well call it even

You load up your freshly bought supplies onto Slate, the Mules immensely strong back never sagging an inch under the load. If anything he shifts his weight and snorts at you like he expects more.

"Alright you stubborn shit. Ill get some treats for ya next time we find a place that sells em" you scratch behind his ears for a moment, the lumbering Mule leaning into it momentarily

"Snort"

"Yeah yeah I know" you smile as Minty scowls at you from his post by the door. You can smell him from here.

Ok Youre gonna have to move before you puke.

>Gun store
We should get a good revolver and some ammo for it and the carbine. Maybe check to see if they do engravings too.

>>1541947
Engravings are a good idea. In a world where the supernatural and impossible are mixing with the real, symbols become... Powerful.

>>1541961
Also, I think we should get some cold iron knuckledusters.

>>1541947
>>1541979

So gun store it is then?

>>1541987
yeah, that's the plan

>>1541987
Yup. Pretty much.

>>1542000
So what do you think we should get? I was thinking the shotgun should get something that represents our old job guarding caravans. Maybe some sort of stagecoach motif on the handle in ivory? Make it look like a Wells-Fargo commercial?

>>1541979
I'm all for knuckledusters believe me, but we already got that punks Bowie and a Tomahawk, Pretty soon we'll be covered in melee weapons, gonna be crowded hah. Glad to see I passed out and none of ya got us killed though, good rolls.

The Gunstore is a wide, squat building near the Sheriffs office, painted with a metallic Grey green paint and adorned with a sheet metal bullet and target hanging above the door. You knock on the door frame and pull the heavy steel door open, closing it behind you

"Hello there. Welcome to my humble shop. I am Indrigo. Purveyor of fire and lead. Steel and Iron. What may I do for you today?" says the slight, dark skinned man behind the counter. He never once looks up from the book he is reading, a small pair of spectacles low on his nose.

The walls of the Gunstore are positively brimming with weapons and ammunition. Rifles, shotguns, pistols, carbines, bows, crossbows. You even see a small cannon in the back. The building somehow feels... Bigger on the inside and you can't quite tell where its being lit from as the room is windowless and there's not a lantern or candle in sight.

In glass cases along the counter are pistols and other hand weapons covered in engravings and small charms. Knives made of strange metals and grips of bone.

You approach the counter and clear your throat.

>What are you looking for? Inventory list incoming but feel free to suggest things.

>>1542038
How about some leather gloves with reinforced knuckles? Or maybe we could put a small weight in our shotgun handle for pistol whipping!

>>1541987
Thirding gun store. Depending on what we believe in animal engravings might work too. Lot of Indians believed bears to be great protectors. A pissed off bear on our sawed off would look pretty cool.

>>1542054
I need a good pistol in .357, possibly engraved, and some engraving work on my shotgun here. Also, a bit of refurbishment on this carbine I got today, as well as some ammo for the carbine and pistol.

Oh, before I forget, I heard that a Mr. Stevenson might have some work for some experienced caravan guards involving arms and ammo to Kestraya?

>>1542076
.357? How about a 44?

>>1542104
I'm trying to stick with the whole cowboy thing, and .357 can fit in both the carbine and the pistol, lowering our pack weight.

This a revolver?

>>1542151
Hold on, let's wait for the special inventory first before we vote.

>>1542179
It was just a question...I'll try to hold back on my hardon for 44 revolvers. Try.

>>1542136
Special Inventory. Blessed, cursed, possibly magical and definitely unique.

>Hawk-Eye. .357 Carbine. You aren't sure what glass the scope of this worn rifle is made from but it shouldn't be able to focus like that. Or blink. +10 to Carbine combat rolls and range is no longer a penalty. -20 Shines

The Thunderer. 12Ga shotgun. The four barrels of this weapon are engraved with designs of storm clouds and lightning bolts. +15 to shotgun combat rolls. -20 Shines

Hnng. Deus Vult in a .44.

>>1542236
Let's see how much engraving the shotgun and refurbishing the carbine would cost before we buy a special gun.
