Brindy will do her best to retrace their route in the car from the cabin. She may attempt to limit her profanity, unless Der Mayor swears, then look out.

After hearing the details while nodding he stands and looks solemn but friendly,

"Friend, you must ecuse the reception. Since the attcfks began a week ago we cannot be too careful--there are not just creatures out there who wish us harm, but sadly other members of the community, some of whom were bad seeds before this terrible event befell out beautiful town. I have unfortunately ahd to recruit a militate to protect the others at the Town Hall, and not just from monsters. Tell me, have you had any trouble with the creatures or others around town?"
OOC:
Assuming you told him about Aunt Marie, the dogs event in the store, unsure if you'd mention the nutter with a gun sniping shots though.

Brindy definitely told about all that, and may have dropped into a rant about inbreeding when extolling the depravities of the nutter with a gun sniping shots.

"There are a small pocket of survivors holed up in their own homes but mostly they've start to pool together for safety and security. As you may have noticed, a great number have fled to this very Town Hall, and it is I, as Mayor of Sanctuary who has kept the town safe. There are a few God-fearing folks barricaded in the church, nut there are other more dishonest types still out and about. Survivalists who lived in the woods and rarely troubled the town before, now make raids during broad daylight hours and have no problem with indiscriminate killed to get what they want. There's also a ragtag group of bikers who ride their dirty machines up and down Central Avenue at all hours, robbing and pillaging and attracting those damn winged beasts. With these trouble makers we cant possibly lead a group out on foo, and even if we used the school bus we would have to take enough armed men with us that there wouldn't be enough left to protect the others." he divulges before going quiet with a sigh and frowning in thought.

"What do you need me to do?"
OOC:
Looks like both the other players are Inactive. What do you think?

It was mostly to check out the different in the new version. If you want to solo I'm okay if not we can retire it as well.
"Anyway for now you must be tired, tonight is almost upon us... so we must prepare. We will ensure you are fed and rested. Tomorrow we will fill you in on work duty; everyone who stays here works, else they will be asked to leave, and I don't recommend that."

Well, let's end it here then. Thanks for the tour of SWADE!

Thanks for sticking to the game!

Thanks for introducing me (repeatedly) to SW. I'm really digging the system, and hope to run more games like Solomon Kane in the future.

As to Solomon Kane, do you think we should upgrade to SWADE? I'm not sure that the changes would be as onerous as I had initially thought they might be.

It's your preference really I figure, aim is very different from the meta standpoint I felt. Free skills is nice since originally back in '12 it was always depressing to hear, 'wait I need to take notice?' to which you hear 'No... no you don't... but if you roll bad my apologies for laughing at your misfortune...' I miss my old Deadlands Reloaded game, 4'10" martial artist in the wild west. Just don't let me dodge bullets and get close like the cannon team. Nothing like fighting on top a cannon so they can't fire.
