Continuing from part 1: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/3201080/


The Marshal Deputies take down the last of the red hoods. Who they were, how they came to assault the same bank at the same time, appears to remain a mystery for now. For now that ain't so important as the posse of federal lawmen bearing down on the bank right now. The desperados probably have superior firepower between all of them, but they've got to coordinate to bring it to bear, all while looting the vault. Remains to be seen if all of them will make it out. This job went from bad to worse right quick, and who knows if it'll get even worse by the end.

Catina takes down her aggravated suitor with some well-placed headshots. She heals 1 stress damage from dealing a critical hit. Meanwhile her gypsy companion Blue rifles through the bar, finding a conveniently-sized liquor bottle she stows in her dress. (+1 Liquor flask)

Doc Chen, rather than use his tools or educated brain, just rips the box out of the wall with main strength. That's one way to do it. Regardless of his methods, he now holds the box that the gang came here to obtain. He feels a strange chill pass through him as he looks down at the thing in his hands. He hears something strange, almost like whispering voices, just on the edge of his hearing.

>Listen to the voices.
>Tarry not.

Either way, the job is done, or at least mostly done. Just have to get out of this town alive.

Those desperados who happen to look up might notice the sky becoming rapidly overcast. The sunlight fades into shadow as dark clouds shroud the sun. A cold wind blows through the streets, so cold it chills the bones.

The ominous darkening is interrupted by the clattering of wooden wheels as nother wagon races down the main street. Everyone aims their guns, expecting another wagonload of hooded figures. But it's just Annie, arriving with the loot wagon. "Load it up, boys! Everybody in! Time to vamos!" She ducks a shot from the deputy marshalls. "Hurry, if ya don't mind!"

[Last turn before job ends, then everyone will pile into the wagon to escape]

Thaddeus grimaces in pain as he takes another hit. Thinking it was about time he made himself scarce, and hearing Annie's voice, he rode his horse toward the wagon. Taking a parting shot at one of the marshalls along the way.

(I want to keep this damn horse.)

The dark clouds and winds outside intensify swiftly. Even as the bandits make quick work of bundling up most of the loose cash in the bank vault, a shadow falls over their minds. The Warriors feel the presence of their talismans as a pulse, like a second heartbeat. Everyone else takes 1 stress damage from an inexplicable chill of terror. Something far greater than the fear of meeting their end at a lawman's gun. A feeling like someone walked over your grave. A feeling of shadows and haunted emptiness, like howling winds in the bare, clutching branches of dead trees.

The marshals are forced to take cover from the heavy winds. Doc Chen, Deadwood, Jackson King, Jackie Redfield, and Old Boy Graham are able to make it out of the bank hauling sacks filled with loot, but they struggle to load up the wagon in the face of the storm winds. The canvas cover of the wagon flaps heavily in the wind. Annie is barely keeping the panicking, screaming horses in check. When the last bag is loaded up and a couple gang members have hopped on board for protection, Annie lets the reins loose, and the wagon bolts away from the bank, barely staying upright in the horses' haste.

The rest of the gang fetches their horses as quick as they can from Ol' Boone in the copse just outside of town, and ride on out of there, quickly catching up with the loot wagon. Together the gang rides away from Goldenvale, away from the blackened sky and rising winds, away from the nameless, voiceless dread that pursues them even as they escape off into the wilderness of the West.

>>3237457


The dark clouds have faded, and a clear evening sky of early starlight hangs overhead, when the loot wagon rolls into the campsite accompanied by the gang on horseback. Their hideout, for now, is out in the Ashburn Woods, in a clearing next to a winding creek. It's not a grand affair: a motley collection of threadbare tents, tree stumps used as tables, and a handful of sturdy supply wagons. But for now, it's home. Wispy smoke and the smell of poultry meat are rising from the cookwagon's stewpot, and the coffee tin is brewing.

Henry Harris, the camp cook and quartermaster, waddles out to meet the returning bandits in his peculiar gait. "Glad to see you folks back safe and sound!"

"Glad to be back, Henry," Annie says. "How's the leg?"

"Splinters." The cook grimaces as he raises his pant leg to scratch underneath, exposing the wooden peg where his leg might be otherwise. "I'll survive, though, especially now that we got the cash to restock our supplies. Budget's been tight for a while now." Like a lot of folks who fought in the war of blue and grey, Henry gave a piece of himself defending his home, and then was cast aside when the war ended in stalemate with both sides unable to pay their veterans. He can't ride or rob so good what with the leg, but he's got an eye for bargains and rationing, and makes a decent stew besides.

Cort emerges from his tent, placing his wide-brimmed black hat on. He takes a moment to size up the returning bank robbers with a steady gaze. "You look spooked," he says, observing the lingering fear among them. "Lawmen call you some mean names? Hurt your feelings?"

Annie scowls down at him. "You can keep your comments to yourself, mister, unless you're helpin' me unload this wagon." She hops down to tie up the horses. "Anything happen in camp while we were gone?"

"Nothin'," Cort says. "Still waitin' on the boss to get back. Ain't like him not to be around while a job's on."

"That's true, but -- well, I'm sure he has his reasons."

"What else has he got to do that's so important while you're robbin' a damn bank? He should be with us."

"It must be important, or he would be," Annie says. "Dallas knows what he's doing. We just got to trust him."

Cort just grunts. He goes to help the others hitch up their horses.

"All right, everyone!" Annie calls out. "Great job out there today! We got the box, the money, and nobody got hurt -- well, too badly, that is. Anyway, let's get all that cash up front here! Cort an' I will count it up and make sure everyone gets their fair share. If you're hurt, go see Doc Withers. Otherwise or afterwards, see Mr. Harris here about gettin' some grub in your belly. Once you've got your cut, you can ask him about maybe doin' a little shopping, see what he's got in stock."

>Loot!
5 loot bags of loose bills: 5 x $1,500 = $7,500
Gang's cut: $7,500 / 2 = $3,750
Individual shares: $3,750 / 16 = $234 each.

Danny went to see Doc Withers as soon as he collected his share of the take. The young man had never seen 200 dollars in once place before, but now he was holding that and change in his hands. He sipped down the last of the broth from the bowl of chicken stew he'd been given as the good doctor finished bandaging his leg. While he couldn't put too much weight on it for a week or so, he'd be fine in the long run.

Danny joins Jackie in sitting, his business with the Doc done.

"Don't seem odd to me Jackie, why the hell else would that feller who hired us need 16 people to turn over a small town like that? He must've known they was after that box. Now I want to know what on earth could be so important about it, and just why was it in that tiny little bank."

New survival action gained!
Double Down: Spend 1 survival to gain a second (A) this turn.

A good bluff comes from courage; a good bet, from foresight. Both can be sharpened, honed, and drawn on in times of need.


Side Jobs: Opportunities can be found for an enterprising desperado to earn some spare cash and supplies. These jobs are not without danger, of course, but what's a little risk when there's rewards to be had?

Up to 3 bandits can go on each side job.

>Stagecoach Escort
A transport company is looking for hired guns to ride alongside an emergency supply shipment to a frontier settlement.

>Abandoned Prospect
Investigate rumors of an empty mining camp in the nearby foothills.

>Hunting in the Ashburn Woods
The trackers found sign of deer herds and rabbit warrens. Shoot or trap game in the surrounding woods.

>Scout out the nearby town of Dust.
Dust is the crossroads town where you're supposed to meet this employer fella. Might be good to have a look around ahead of time, see what you're in for, maybe score some information or a few extra dollars.

Thaddeus McDaniel, Old Boy Graham, and Dr. Sun Li-Chen ride out to investigate the rumors of an abandoned mining prospect, following a winding path up into the rocky foothills of Rusty Ridge. After some time they find some patchwork tents and sleeping rolls, centered around the cold ashes of a campfire. Nearby, a mineshaft is hewn into the side of a hill, supported by wooden beam and stone. The tool rack is empty except for a solitary shovel.

Each bandit may choose one:

>Search the tents: Roll 1d10+Smarts
Everything is orderly and undisturbed, although covered in a layer of dust.

>Enter the mineshaft: Roll 1d10+Grit. Blasters add their class level.

Bonnie Northbark, Jackson King, and the gypsy girl ride to the nearby trading outpost of Laidlaw Shipping Co. Workmen are already loading wooden supply boxes aboard the stagecoach while the company man shouts at them to hurry. He asks only a few cursory questions about your backgrounds and shooting skills before hiring you on as temporary guards. Everybody seems in an awful hurry about the whole affair.


Vote on a course of action as a group, then roll afterwards:

>Hold up the stagecoach: 1d10+Strength
The supplies are right there for the taking. Should be a simple matter to overpower the company men and grab what you want.

>Escort the coach: 1d10+Grit
Do the job, escort the coach to its destination. You could easily run into trouble along the way, though, or they wouldn't have sought out hired guns in the first place.

Boleite Blue, "Sawbones" Black, Ringtail, and Lily Rivers head into the town of Dust. Four's a crowd, but you shouldn't attract too much attention. Probably.

Dust is the crossroads town where you're supposed to meet this employer fella. Looks like an ordinary frontier town, growing slowly but surely. It's not founded next to any natural landmarks or resources, just a patch of dirt and dust that happens to be at a crossroads between regions. Services have sprouted to cater to travellers and traders: the town has a saloon and hotel, a wainwright, a stable, a church, even a post office.

While you're here you could have a look around ahead of time, see what you're in for, or maybe score a few extra dollars on the side.

Each bandit may choose one:

>Scout: 1d10+Smarts
If you end up in a scrap here, knowing ahead of time how to take advantage of the lay of the land will help.

>Fleece: 1d10+Charts
Frontier towns like these are often full of honest citizens eager to part ways with their money for a promise or a dream.

Preferring to at first to wander the outskirts, Ringtail eventually sets up at the side of the main drag, inviting folks into games of chance and skill, changing his mind if they lack what he'll play for; a nickname, and its secret. How mysterious. Word may spread.

Their names and secrets against his spiritual counsel, wagered on races, tosses, odds or evens. He offers a chance at answers to this land's strange questions that never enter a house of crosses. But some may balk at risking some part of themselves, however small, to a man of that same land.

Wise, he'll tell winners, among other things. Never bet secrets not kept elsewhere.

>Thaddeus: 6
Following a rank smell, you stumble upon a putrefying human body clad in mining clothes. The head has been pulverized. A chipped and bloodied pickaxe lies nearby. Suffer 1 terror.

>Old Boy Graham: 14(!)
You descend into the darkness by torchlight. The flickering shadows play tricks on your mind. Once you think you glimpse a pair of human figures, clad in mining gear, standing just outside the ring of light. But when you raise the torch, nothing is there. With an ineffable sense of being guided, you follow a horizontal prospecting drift and search among the mined ore there until you find a pure lump of black metal that exhibits peculiar hardness. Gain 1x Adamant Ore.

A small band of ghost dancers mounted on horseback attacks the stagecoach on its journey, shouting their war cries as they shoot bows and rifles. Bonnie and Jackson, along with the company men, are able to pick off a few and hold off the warband until the transport reaches its destination, a frontier mining outpost. The gypsy girl provides ... moral support.

Once safely behind the stake palisade at the mining outpost, the company men thank their hired guns for keeping them safe from those savages. Meanwhile, sturdy workmen set to levering open the boxes and dumping out the contents, which turn out to be several emaciated natives. "All right, chain 'em up, set 'em to work," calls out the foreman. A whip cracks.

"So those natives weren't attacking to plunder you?" asks Jackson. "They just wanted to free their people?"

"What?" asks the foreman absent-mindedly. "Oh, sure. We grab 'em whenever we can. Cheaper than importing darkies from back east, you understand. Certainly cheaper than paying 'em!" he adds with a hearty guffaw.

>Get paid, $20 each, and walk away.

To men and women who live their lives by a code of freedom, the enslavement of these people is too much to bear. The bandits draw on their erstwhile employers. The gunfight is swift and bloody. It ends with the company guardsmen lying in the dirt and the workmen fleeing for their lives. The native captives and mining slaves are awed at their unexpected rescue. They have no money to repay their debt, but they promise to pass on the tale of their saviours to their friends and tribesmen. Laidlaw Shipping Co. and their associates, however, will not be thrilled to hear of this betrayal.
