"So this is the new blood," Billy Ratcatcher says, looking over the motley collection of bandits, thieves, and renegades by light of the campfires and the slowly rising moon. Everybody is back from their side jobs, and it's Billy's first time seeing the whole batch of recruits together, having been off riding with the boss until now. "Feels strange what with us folks who were in the gang before being outnumbered by the new ones," he ruminates. "But we did need more guns after the troubles, when we lost so many. We sure got 'em now. You done good with the recruitment drive, Annie. Looks like some stand-up fellers among 'em, and some pretty ladies too."

Cort strikes a match to light his cigar. "Scared kids. Old men. Fools. Won't be much good if push comes to shove."

"They did all right at the bank," Annie says. "Give 'em a chance before you talk down about 'em, Cort. I think they each got something in 'em worth keeping 'em on for. Dallas agreed. He gave me the okay on each of 'em. Said they all got potential."

In reply Cort just puffs on his cigar.

Billy says, "Anyway, I had something real important I was thinking about."

"What's that?" Annie asks.

"What are we gonna call ourselves now?" Billy says. "Don't feel right using the old gang name, but we can't go on just being "Dallas's new gang", right? We should have a cool name like "The Night Riders" or "The Black Angels," right? What do you say?"

Cort gives him that dead-eyed stare. Annie says, "Uhh, we'll think about it, all right? First things first. Tomorrow morning we'll get this campsite squared away, then head out to Dust."

"Sure," Billy says. "I'll help on first watch. Might be some spooky ghosts in these woods," he adds, and laughs.

------------

Just a quiet, ordinary night for the bandits, getting settled into new rhythms with their new partners in arms. Jackie, Deadwood and Doc Chen sit round one of the fires, singing old camping songs together and arguing over the lyrics. Augustus sits near, reading one of his books. By the other fire, Bonnie and the gypsy girl, now calling herself "Lady Luck", have a tense showdown of bets and raises over a poker hand, while Sawbones attempts to teach Jackson the basic tenets of first aid on the battlefield. Lily and Old Boy Graham are just interested in catching up on their beauty rest. Overhead in the moonlit sky the stars come out, one by one.

Boleite Blue turns over another set of tarot cards. The Tower. Disaster, crumbling ruin, inevitable destruction. But also, next to it, the Chariot. Strength, determination, victory. The union of heart, mind, and spirit. And finally --

"Death," she mutters, looking down at the ominous skull that grins back up at her. "Been seeing a lot of you lately." Blue looks up at the night sky, where wisps of cloud pass over the bright moon. "There's a smell of bad luck in the wind. I don't care for it none."

"Ah, lighten up, Blue," her gypsy companion says from the card table nearby. "I think our luck is just fine. Don't you worry. I got a good feeling."

"You're telling me," Bonnie says, and lays down her cards. "A full straight, nine high! Read 'em and weep, sister!" The trapper leans back on her seat with a satisfied smirk. "How's that for luck?"

Lady Luck grins as she turns over her own cards, revealing five hearts. "Sorry, sister, but that pot is mine." Bonnie swears. The lady chuckles as she scoops up the money. "Another hand?"

>>3261039

Thaddeus and Billy Ratcatcher perform a slow patrol around the outskirts of camp, keeping watch on the moonlit forest, their guns at the ready. Never know what might be out there. It's easy to get jumpy on watch duty at night. You get keyed up until every shadow holds a terrible creature, a monster ready to pounce on you and tear you to pieces. But the miner and the veteran bandit are old hands, and don't get jumpy. Lawmen won't be coming up into these parts, so they know the watch is just a precaution, really. These hills might be home to the occasional wolf or cougar, but they'll be scared off by the fires.

And, of course, there's no such thing as monsters.

"Good to have new folks around," Billy says to Thaddeus. "Y'all done good at the bank in Goldenvale. The gang's been in a tough spot since the troubles. Lost a lot of good people. But you done good. I think we got a shot at rebuilding this thing. Once Dallas is back and we get paid proper for this bank job, we got a bright future ahead of us. Yessiree. We had some good times together y'know, me and Dallas and Annie and the rest. Even Cort! He sounds mean, but he's a stand-up feller. Why, this one time --"

"Hold on a minute, lad," Thaddeus says. The former miner peers out at the shadowed woods, clutching his shotgun. "D'ye hear that?"

"Just the wind, or a rabbit," Billy says dismissively. "Lot of 'em in these parts. Y'know, catching a rabbit is a lot like catching rats. You just need to --"

"Need to what?" Thaddeus asks. His only reply is a strange, wet sound. He turns around, expecting to see his fellow bandit. And he does.

But only what's left of him.

"Oh, god--!"
"What IS it--"
"Shoot it--!"

In glimpses at the edges of firelight they see it. The beast is taller than a man, white-furred, blood dripping from its chin to stain its chest fur a crimson red. Its face is a grinning mask, a deer-like skull lined with fangs, warped and twisted antlers jutting skywards. It howls, opening its mouth to the moon and letting out a shrill and eerie wail that pierces the silence of night and chills the bandits to the bones.

>Everybody suffers 1 terror from a glimpse of a creature that should not be. Thaddeus suffers 1 additional terror from seeing Billy Ratcatcher torn apart before his eyes.

The bandits are startled but none the less quick on the draw. Whatever the creature is, surely it can bleed. And it does. The sound of gunfire fills the night silence as the gang opens up, bullets whizzing through the dark thick and furious, the air filling with acrid gunpowder smoke.

The barrage riddles the monster with holes, bloodying its matted white fur even further. Bones break, flesh tears, blood splatters. But some unnatural vitality knits the beasts's wounds back together, mending mangled flesh and knitting sinew before the bandits' eyes. A great deal of damage has been done, but not enough, and even now it slowly reverses. Before the bandits have a chance to come to grips with this, the beast springs to the attack.

The monster wears a necklace of cracked and battered human skulls, threaded onto a frayed and muddied rope. As it advances, it tears off one of these skulls and hurls it into the crowd of bandits clustering at the fire. The weathered bone strikes Bonnie and shatters, a dizzying blow to both body and brain that knocks the trapper off her feet.

>Skull Toss: Damage 2, Terror 1, Knockdown.

Deadwood, Blue and Graham all open up as the creature comes within range. Their shots wound, but do not slow, the monster, as it charges towards the isolated and vulnerable Lily. The deer skull looms, its eyes burning with infernal red. The fanged jaws snap shut. Lily falls back with a cry of pain.

>Devour: Damage 4, Wound 1. Suffer 1 Terror for reaching Death's Door.

After consuming its morsel of meat with ravenous hunger, the monster continues to move with its bizarre inhuman alacrity, advancing forward onto the next target, slashing and hewing with its great claws at Doc Chen. The doctor manages to duck under one slash, a hair's breadth away, but not the second. His fine suit comes away bloody. If that's the worst he suffers tonight he'll count himself lucky.

>Slash: Speed 2, Damage 2.


>The monster is wounded, but some unnatural force restores its strength and heals its wounds.

The bandits continue their barrage of all the firepower they have available, most of them trying to stay close to the firelight. The blaster Thaddeus has the daring to charge into close range, slamming his not inconsiderable bulk into the creature's flank. The monster has entered the light and become easier to see, a twisted hulk of muscle and rending claws and white fur stained red, and because of the improved vision the bandits are more confident in their aim. But -- are they not missing just as often, even though their sighting is more sure? Does the creature move with even greater agility, evading shots that should have struck? Does some force lend further enhancement to its unnatural alacrity? If so -- what? In addition, its regenerative powers continue to knit together torn flesh and broken bone, even after Thaddeus sets the beast alight with a burning stick brandished from the fire. The creature appears to have fell capabilities beyond prodigious strength and savagery.

The monster rears back and howls to the moon, a bone-chilling scream that strikes directly at the primal fear of the scared animal inside. Several of the bandits find themselves running before they even realize it.
>Howl: All PCs must pass an [Intimidate] check of 1d10+Grits check of 7+. Failure: Suffer 1 terror and knockback equal to movement.

Pursuing the terrified Thaddeus into the tall grass, the monster scratches and tears with its savage claws, scoring deep wounds that bleed profusely.
>Rake: Speed 2, Damage 1 + Bleed 1.

The monster turns and lunges at Bonnie, but steps in the cleverly placed bear trap. The jaws closing with a satisfying snap, drawing blood and arresting the monster's movement. It pauses to wrench the mechanism off of itself, destroying it in the process, scattering metal parts and screws in the grass.
>Attack cancelled, but the bear trap is destroyed.

Apologies Mr. Graham, you are indeed too sturdy a lad to be forced to run. Your position is corrected.

>>3267538

Dr. Li-Chen, please be aware that basic survival actions such as Dash can only be used once per round. The rest of your move appears legal.

>>3269536

Miss Northbark, be aware you can't use a two-handed weapon while carrying a torch.

>>3270044

Mister Tumbleweed, be aware that mark effects of the same type refresh the duration but do not stack.

The coin bounces off harmlessly. Considering the creature's lack of reaction to it, Blue could surmise that, even were silver its weakness, a single coin would do little to slow it down.
The monster is well lit up with flames, a sickening smell arising as fur matted with fat and blood sizzles and burns. It is greatly wounded, full of holes and wounds, spilling blood everywhere. It should be dying. It should be dead already! By any rights of natural law it should have given up its last breath long ago. Somehow it continues on, an elemental force of ravenous hunger, immune to pain or fear, consumed with only the insatiable drive to kill, maim, slaughter, consume.

Firstly the monster turns to Graham, and the fang-lined maw of the deer skull tears and rips at the miner's flesh. Whatever it finds is swallowed whole.
>Devour: Damage 4, Wound 1.
The creature then shoves it way past Graham, a force which would have knocked over anyone less sturdy than the old miner, but even wounded as he is, Graham stands strong. The new target is Blue, who barely dodges a powerful backhand blow that would have easily lifted her into the air and sent her flying backwards into a tent.
>Backhand: Speed 1, Damage 2, knockback 6 + bash (knockdown).
The monster then lunges at Thaddeus in the thicket of tall grass. The unfortunate Tumbleweed is a target as well despite the monster not even being aware of his presence, as the great scything claws slash through the grass -- but by staying low to the ground, the trapper is able to avoid the attacks. Thaddeus are able to evade some, but not all, of the monster's assault, and even the blow that hits is mitigated by Augustus's expert medical care.
>Frenzied Slash: Cleave 4x2, Speed 2, Damage 2.

Surely the monster is on its last legs, but it has survived long enough to unleash another round of assaults. The unnatural power flowing into it only increases, its limbs blurring as it moves faster and faster, becoming harder and harder to aim at. A strange thrumming fills the air, and dark flecks like wisps of soot dance in and out of the firelight.

And what's worse than all of this, Deadwood realizes, as he hears crashing sounds in the treeline, and turns to fire at the onrushing shape in the darkness --

-- there's another one.

Jackson grimaced as another shadowy figure exited the treeline in the far distance, barely visible without a light source to shine on it. "Bloody hell. Let's finish this one off, before the other one tears Chen and Deadwood apart." He says as he racked back the lever on his rifle.

The first monster finally falls under the combined assault of guns, fists and fury, collapsing to the earth with a great thump. The final beats of its heart spill the last of its blood upon the grass. The bandits take a quick moment to exult in their triumph, but are immediately forced to turn their attention to the new arrival. It looms at the other end of the clearing in the shadows. Not identical to the first, with a different twist of antler and hulk of shoulder, but similar enough to make no difference: a tall and ravenous beast, white fur stained red, with fangs and claws to tear a man asunder.

The dynamite explosion goes off, annihilating half of the nearby tree. Doc Chen is blown off his feet by the proximity of the blast, one of the torches knocked out of his hands. The creature stands just outside the blast radius as well -- its fur is singed, and it pauses to shield its eyes, but is barely slowed down.

Once the explosion has cleared, the monster leaps on the prone Chen, but the doctor is able to scramble about on the ground fast enough to evade its attacks. The giant claws dig furrows in the dirt next to him on either side.
>Slash: Reach 2, Speed 2, Damage 2
Propelled onwards by its unfathomable hunger, the monster races across the camp, using all four limbs as a beast does, and lunges forward at Doc Sawbones, smashing apart the table to get to him.
>Rushdown: Targest furthest in range. Double move. Speed 3, damage 2.
The monster then barrels into the main cluster of bandits, hewing recklessly with its claws in every direction.
>Thrash: Attack all in reach 2, Speed 1 Damage 2
Whatever unnatural speed lent quickness to the first beast's limbs seems to have an equal effect on the second. Something thrums in the clearing, like a pulse just outside the range of hearing.

The gang pours their fire onto the second beast. Jackson King's barrage strikes a certain spot that apparently draws a particular ire from the monster, as it swiftly turns to lacerate the gunslinger with bloodied claws.

Lily approaches what's left of the tree smouldering from the dynamite explosion. She discovers that suspended from one of the lower branches is a small wreath fashioned of sticks, twine, and bird bones. A bird skull hangs in its center. Difficult to see if focused on, one can look out of the corner of their eyes and see a stream of dark motes flowing from the wreath to the monster. Lily attempts to approach to examine it more thoroughly, perhaps destroy it, but a strange presence pulses at the heart of the creation that repels her mentally. It seems to whispering to her without a voice, telling her to walk away, put her guns down, to surrender to the creature and the darkness of night. Moving close will require her to marshal her force of will and identity.

>Roll 1d10+Charm to cleanse the hex wreath.

The monster opens the fanged mouth of its deer-skull head and lunges at Bonnie the trapper, but she manages to duck and weave, staying just out of range of the snapping jaws. Frustrated, the monster then turns to to Lady Luck and slashes viciously with both hands, scoring a grave wound that puts her in danger. Finally it rips another skull from its necklace and hurls it at Jackie, knocking him off his feet. It continues to blur with unnatural alacrity as it moves, extremely difficult to target properly.

The grass stains red with foul-smelling blood. The monster emits a high-pitched scream as bullets wrack its body, the damage outpacing its ability for its flesh and sinew to mend itself. It must fall. It will fall. Surely this next shot will be the one to fell it. No -- but then, surely this one --

Lily approaches the witchcraft totem. A force bats at her psyche, and she must sharpen her will even to focus on the thing properly. Whispers fill the edge of her hearing. They pluck at the edges of her identity like fingers grasping at stray threads. Stay away, they insist. You can do nothing. You are nothing. You are no-one. Wrong, the gambler thinks in reply. I'm Lily fucking Rivers, and you can go fuck yourself, wreath. And she easily reaches past the enchantment to take hold of the totem. She dismantles the strings of gut and twine connecting the wreath to the tree, then the ones holding the bird skull in place. She tosses the skull to the ground and steps on it, crushing it.

>The monster's speed and regeneration diminish.

The dark motes dissipate, no longer sending their energy to the monster, but some eldritch aura still remains bound to the wreath of bones and sticks that Lily holds in her hands.

>Gained item Shrike Wreath: +1 Evasion

Other streams of darkness remain. There are other sources of fell energy for the monster.

And worse --

The gang's fears become reality as a third creature comes charging out of the night, assaulting Jackie with slashing claws and then, with a swift backhand, knocking him into the air, flying until he lands with a crash against one of the supply trunks, splintering it into pieces. At the other end of the camp, Annie and Cort arrive -- investigating what they assume to be a sudden attack of gunmen, they discover horrors of darkness instead, and swallow their terror to join the fray. But will their aid be enough? The gang is exhausted and bloodied. Have they enough strength left in their weary limbs to stop the ravenous abominations from reaping a harvest of flesh?

Holding her coat in a wet clump over the swamp of blood and torn muscle usually called a stomach, Bonnie takes a deep breath and chokes back a scream. No point in throwing off the aim of someone else with a distraction. After all, she was gonna kill this sonofabitch.

Despite being pressed hard, the gang's fire is accurate and deadly. The second monster crashes to the ground, letting out a final cry of rage and despair. For a moment before it dies, it sounds almost human.

Deadwood finds another of the shrike-bone totems hanging from a tree. He takes it apart, purging the hex, but his focus slips. A psychic backlash of madness is triggered, vivid images pulsing in his skull. Rending flesh, dripping blood, great empty halls of bone.

The gang knows that they can take these monsters, now. Two of them lie dead in the flickering firelight. And with two of the mysterious totems destroyed, the surviving creature is noticeably slower, its movement less difficult to track. They can do this. They know they can. But they are exhausted, bloodied, afraid. Their stamina wanes. The third monster howls, shaking their spirits, before charging into the fray, slashing and biting. Who knows whether everyone will survive until it's brought down. Unless they had help. But where would that come from?

Beyond the edge of the firelit clearing, human figures become visible in the darkness as they approach. The first bandits who notice them take cover or aim their guns, expecting some other threat here to join forces with the monster. Hooded cultists, shambling ghouls, or some other horror. Instead they raise bows and let fly arrows which pierce the monster's hide. It roars with anger, turning to meet the newcomers, and barrels towards them.

The rearmost figure raises his staff. The tip glows with a blue light, illuminating the night. Writing with the staff, the figure emblazons a sigil into the air, circles within a circle. The same image appears on the monster, and cords of the same blue light form around its limbs, arresting its charge, binding it to the earth. With the monster helpless, one of the newcomers is free to walk up to it and plant a tomahawk squarely in its forehead.

As his companion finishes off the creature, one of the men strides boldly into the firelight, revealing himself as a native warrior. He examines the bandits with a critical eye, then the corpses of the other two monsters. He spits on one of them in disgust. Then he says to the surrounding bandits, with a grudging respect, "You did well. Many panic and run, but that only leads to their doom."

The man with the staff shuffles into the firelight beside him. He wears a hooded robe and a heavy mantle of crow feathers. His staff no longer glows, now just appearing to be an ordinary piece of wood. The way he leans heavily upon it as he walks suggests an old man, but he pushes back his hood to reveal youthful features. "Sad, simple creatures." He sighs as he looks down at the white-furred bodies. "They were once men. Now nothing but cursed undead, driven to madness by endless hunger. May the great spirit guide them, if anything of their spirit remains."

"If any of your people have fallen," the warrior says. "Their bodies must be salted and burned."

"Hold on now," Annie says. "Thanks for your help and all, which we greatly appreciate. But just who the hell are you folks? I can see you're Crow tribe, but what are you doing here? Do you know what these things are? And how did you just happen to know to find them here, now, tonight?"

"You have questions," says the man in the crowfeather mantle. "We have answers. But not here. Not now. You have seen the shrike totems. Those creatures did not come here of their own will. They were called. You must strike camp and leave as soon as possible. Attempt to lose your pursuers, then send someone to meet with us. The place which you call Eaglestone Hill. We will wait for you there."

Without another word, the natives turn and leave. The warrior who dispatched the beast finishes hacking off one of its antlers before joining them.

(I'm honestly surprised nobody died. I'm gonna have to drink a shitload of whiskey after this though.)

I was prepared for the possibility after last round. I think we're lucky the natives showed up, but what I'm wondering Is If anything we did influenced their arrival.
