"Like that!" Dirt calls out, not needing to call out what they need to do, seeing as how it had just been demonstrated by the sharpshooter.

"Reckon their hearts must be black and mighty small! Steady your shots!" Dirt calls out, hoping to settle the Marshal’s nerves!

With a shout of joy Ruby pulls a bottle of Gecko Hair Pomade, a greasy substance for styling hair and mustaches, but more importantly, a primary ingredient is pressed garlic. "Here. Might not look like much but its loaded with garlic extract. Dip your bullet tips in it. And no that's not a euphamism!" Ruby extracts her remaining bullets and gives the tip of each one a quick dip in the waxy substance.

OOC:

I'll use my turn coating my bullets.

"Marshal!" Dirt calls loud over the din once again, hoping to jolt the law-woman into action! He thinks to stoop to help the woman up, but knowing his luck, the creature would pounce as soon as he’d taken his eye off it for a second.

The monsters are terrifying and Delilah is scared nearly out of her tree as they burst into the room and she stumbles and falls onto her backside, dropping her rifle. Kane blasting one of the things to ash and Dirt shouting at her snaps the woman back to action, and quick as that she draws he father's old Dragoon and thunders away with it, fanning the hammer from her prone position on the floor...

OOC:

That Joker should be +1 Benny for everyone, right? Using Rapid Fire and Trademark Weapon to attack twice.

Looks to me like two hits with raises? So 3d6+1 damage twice. Looks like 12 and 15 damage.

DD's shots should take out a normal thing, but the bullets don't seem to do as much damage as one might expect.

OOC:

With Toughness 9, a normal creature would be Shaken by the first shot, and Wounded twice by the second (taken out since it's not a Wild Card). However, it's Shaken only, for reasons.

The creature gives up attacking the jail and leaps after Kane who has taken out his ravaging buddy. However, his claws only back up the man, and year no juicy flesh.

OOC:

Kane, Dirt, and Ruby are up. You each get a Benny from the Joker DD pulled.

"Let's hope this works and I didn't make my bullets smell for no reason!" Ruby slips the last greasy cartridge back into the revolver, spins it, closes it with a click. She aims at one of the remaining undead and fires.

OOC:

Loooool of course. Spending a benny to re-roll the attack.

The sticky substance gums up Ruby's revolver, and the jam will have to be cleared if she wants to continue to fight evil today.

Buoyed by his successful obliteration of the attacking vampire, Kane decides to try it again, aiming directly for the creature's heart.

The soon-to-be (provided she lives!) Marshal climbs back to her feet, dusts herself off and moves to quickly top-off both her revolver and her levergun as she speaks to the others.

"Just how many of these things are there, did anyone get a good look?"

The woman then switches out her '73 for her coachgun, then puts a couple of handfuls of shells and her box of .44 bullets in the pocket of the duster she pulls on. "We goin' huntin'? Seems like powerful hits to the heart is what does it, you think, Kane?"

"Hell of a shot, this fella!" Dirt says, as he checks his weapons are good to continue.

"They wanted this fella in the cell something bad, don’t you think?" he posits to the others, remembering the thing lunging at the bars!

"We ought to stick together. Hopefully that posse that was set to get riled up tonight had their guns out in preparation!"

"I don't know if they wanted in the man in the cell specifically," Ruby says as she tries to clean her gun. Apparently the grease was thicker than she expected and it had jammed her gun. "They're vampires, they likely wanted to get all of us. We should make our way to the town church, if there is one. It'll likely be free of the bloodsuckers and might have a supply of holy water and crucifixes." With her gun finally clean, she holsters it and closes her trunk back up.

"Yeah, Delilah. The most efficient anyway. Aiming anywhere's else seems a waste of time and effort and bullets." Kane nods at Dirt, acknowledging his compliment. Kane was good with firearms. Had been all his life.

"Ruby's idea is a good one. We best get to that church pronto. Barricade the doors and shoot from the windows. Windows can be replaced. Our lives can't."

The prisoner Knaggs yells out, way too loudly, "You can't leave me in here! Get me out of here, give me a gun, I ain't wanna be food for no monsters, did you see that guy?"

Outside, you hear the first shot of the night, other than yours. Someone is putting up a fight, but your initial tally was a couple dozen might have come off that train, spreading out all over.

Ruby looks at the prisoner, then at the others, then back at him. "I think you're safer in there than out here. Vampires may be strong but I don't think even they could break into a jail cell." She turns to the others. "Any opinions?"

Crossing the small office's wooden floor with purpose, her boots thumping, Delilah opens her waxed canvas duffel and loads in the rest of the guns from the rack after handing a shotgun insistently to Reyes. "Y'all are gonna need this, Ms. Rudy. That there peashooter is good in a pinch against a misbehaving customer, but it's no better than barkin' at a knot against them vampires. Take this, hold it real steady when you fire it -- she'll kick."

When the subject of the prisoner comes up, the tall and busty brunette who hopes to soon wear a badge on her chest shakes her head. "Not leavin' him here. That's a death sentence, and we got no right. We'll cuff him, put him in irons -- and take him to the church."

OOC:

Taking allllll the guns and ammo that are here... are there handcuffs or irons or something we can slap on the prisoner? After that, suggest we look outside, time it, and make a break for the church, gathering any loose townsfolk as we go, also quietly spreading the word for that to be our defense point.

Ruby takes the gun but then raises an eyebrow. "You don't think moving him out in the open clapped in irons won't be a death sentence? If we get attacked he is dead weight for us and he'll be unable to defend himself."

"Let's just do his hands," DD replies, grabbing the keys for the cell.
