Swolesome made a goof. He pushed back the game so he could go to Disney with a female friend and when he came back the AC broke at his house.This is the first day in 8 he has even had the chance to touch his laptop.
Enough chit chat lets see who died this week!
you go to check on the man's wounds. Roll 12. He gasps and grabs your arm. Roll 16. You fight the urge to react. You tell him it is ok and apply pressure on his wound. Your hand glows as the wound seals. He looks at you with a dumbfounded look as he passes out from the pain. You gaze at your hand.
Do you
- Try to wake him to question him
- Leave for town for him
You elect to walk to the canyon. As you arrive you find a wagon smash against the walls. A dead body is laying against the remains of the vehicle. Roll 18. You find a solid gold bar partially buried in the sand. It appears as if the wagon had an entire delivery filled with it. You look over with intense curiosity.
Do you
- Loot the body
- Investigate the canyon
You scour the canyon and kneel by the walls. Black streaks are set in the stone. As if they were set on fire. Your hand finds a small crevice your hands investigate. Roll 8. You feel nothing there and turn around. A bullet whizes by you shattering rock. The spray of the powder blinds you. Roll 13 you manage to hide behind a boulder as bullets fly. Roll 11. You take a bullet to the shoulder and slide down.
Do you
1)Try to barter with him
- Kill him
You squat by the man and attend to his wounds. Roll 15. He lunges in his sleep from the pain. You shush him gently as your touch glows as he sets down the pistol in his hand. You instinctively touch his wound and it turns bright red as it heals.
Do you.
- Take him to town
- Look around the canyon
As you walk to the canyon a small breeze blows. Roll 19. You eat the dirt as you trip. You look down and see a bar of solid gold. You pick it up and see a man wounded by a wagon. You stash the gold and investigate. He is gravely wounded. As you approach your hand glows as his wounds heal. You freeze.
Do you.
- Continue to heal him
- Leave for fear it might have consequences
You investigate his injuries. Roll 15. Your hand glows. As his wounds heals. He stirs in his sleep. You hear sounds in the canyon.
Do you.
- Continue healing him
- Investigate
You reach for the rock as the creature screeches in pain. Roll 2. It dislodges and crunches your hand. You rear back as your feet slide on the loose terrain. Roll 14. You steady yourself and glance at your hand, it stings but nothing too severe. You move the rock as the eagle hops away and studies you. Fierce gray eyes watch you as it flies away.
You watch it grow further away, in the horizon you see a small mining town.
Do you.
- Walk to the town
2)Sneak down
You go to revive him. Roll 4. He lurches in his sleep. His eyed filled with pain and fear he jams a pistol against you. Roll 10. He cocks the hammer back and fires. You jump away. Roll 18. You dodge the next few shots as he fires wildly. You climb behind a rock your shaky hand reaches for your hat as you straighten it.
Do you.
1)Reason with him
- End this with blood
You approach the eagle as you place your hands on the rock. Roll 19. The eagle darts away circling in the air. Your eyes track it as he dives. For the canyon. You notice a shine. You lean down and pick up a gold bar. That's odd you murmur. You look up.
There's a small town.
Do you.
1)Search for more gold
- Go to the town and investigate.
