Barlowe Station

Kane trains his Big Fifty on one of the vampires that wasn't sprayed with holy water, aims for the heart and shoots.

Rolling Vigor vs the damage

Preacher did 19
Kane did 28

All four vampires explode into dust as the posse aims and hits their hearts. The echoes of the sudden gunfire ricochet throughout the freight car. The townsfolk gasp, nearly scream them realize they're spared a blood draining, for now.

You hear the shriek of vampires from the next sleeper car, responding to the gunfire.

The townsfolk all turn and look at the door you came in, expecting reinforcements any second.

"Oh lord, they're angry now!"

What do you do?

Reverend James uses the few seconds of reprieve to break open and top-up the shotgun with a shell -- while at the same time putting himself in front of the innocent, shielding them from the doorway at the other end of the car where they expect more fiends to enter.

"Out the back, my flock!" he shouts. "We might have to jump if we can't separate the cars!"

Ruby nods. "We got what we came for. We can jump out the back. Going to have to tuck and roll. Might get a bit banged up but better than getting our throats ripped out. I can start a fire at the opposite end of this car that might buy us some time." She rummages in her sack and soon withdraws a flask of alcohol.

"Fire might work, if the holy water won’t keep them back!" Dirt says, though he’s tempted to simply try and unhitch the damn thing himself, to save injury and death from a daring jump off the train.

"Hold on a second!" he decides then! "I’m going to try and pull us free! If they come through, you toss that fire and get to jumping!"

He nods his head, and stoops down to try and free the damn contraption from itself. There must be a knack to it!

OOC:

Do you get anything for playing into Hinderances (Death Wish)? +10 to a roll, maybe?

The townsfolk gather around you, expressing their fears at jumping from a moving train, when Briggs launches forward and has a go at the coupling. With a titanic effort, he pops the clasp and the sleeper car ahead of you begins to pull away.

The sleeper car door opens and several vampires stick their heads out, hissing and shrieking as their snacks are stolen. None of them try the leap, though, but just shriek in anger as the rest of the train pulls away.

Ruby eyes dirt with reappraisal. "That was mighty impressive," she says when he's back in the train car. "Now we just have a long walk back to town. And we gotta warn a railway station that there'll be a stalled car on the tracks."

"Well I'll be, Dirt. That was somethin'. How'd ya get that strong?" Heaving a sigh of relief he watches the ugly vampires and sneers at 'em as they grow further and further away.

"We showed 'em, bigtime. We all played our parts and by golly we done good." Turning to the townspeople he smiles, brown teeth and all. "Y'all alright, folks?"

"Must have been the Padre’s pleas to the almighty!" Dirt says, feeling awkward at all the praise!

OOC:

How long did all this occur within, would we say? Between the jump and the disconnect! Wondering if the horses are within whistling distance!

Clapping Briggs on the shoulder, the Reverend smiles broadly. "The Lord worked through you, son! Truly! That was a miracle!"

He then turns to the townsfolk to treat bites and other injuries, while asking them, "Is this everyone? Were there others they took, further up the train?"

May 31, 2024 7:25 pm

The townsfolk confirm that everyone is here, at least that they know of. Of the two feasted upon when you entered, they're still alive but have lost a lot of blood, which means they're all here, and all alive.

As the freight car slows to a stop, you might be able to call one of your horses, a well trained one might hear your whistle.

Clapping Briggs on the shoulder, Turner finishes treating his congregation members as best he can, then he keeps lookout at the front of the now motionless train car. He'll watch for vampires as the others wrangle up the horses...

Ruby moves among the citizens with the priest and sees to their wounds. She has a bottle of antiseptic and a few rags she can clean their wounds and make impromptu bandages. She couldn't believe they got out of that alive and with everyone rescued. She keeps a wary eyes on those bitten, however. Ruby wasn't sure exactly what is true about vampires and doesn't want her ignorance to catch her off guard.

"You run out of that there antiseptic, I got some liquor left if you need it. I don't know squat about healing injured folks though, especially from vampire wounds."

Kane stick close to Ruby to offer support while keeping his eyes open for any more of the blood-sucking fiends.
