Chapter 1.0 - Rio Grande City
A couple of the men started to shout orders out. It was strange to hear directions in this time of chaos, but Clancy didn't question them for long. He inspected Louis, unable to stay angry at the mystery of the man in this panic, and yelled, "We ought to listen to him! Do you know anywhere safe?" It was then that he noticed two things: Louis had rope burns on his wrists, and there was gunfire upstairs. Clancy, suddenly a lot more angry, piped up, "What sort of unholy rite did you prepare to summon these creatures?!"
OOC: I will give the other XP to Ultrann36, for that line "Who the heck carries silver bullets?!" Literally made me laugh, could totally see the scene happening in my head. Updated character sheet to reflect XP and Damage. Also, depending on if Clancy sees the creature regenerate, he might try to decapitate it.
Edit: OFF TO A GREAT START FOLKS

"El Chupacabra!!" he yells as he takes both knives, rushes towards the beast, and plunges them into the creature's neck.
As he's attempting to remove the hairy head he hears someone yelling out orders as if they were some sort of military commander. "If this were the fields of Palo Alto I'd be coming for you next, Gringo!" he murmurs under his breath as he continues his grisly task.
OOC: Going to make my perception roll first and then go back an edit the post accordingly.
HA! I perceived that HELL out that situation!

Clancy watches the Mexican bandito begin expertly sawing the downed wolf-woman's head off with two knives at once. The creature appears to be struggling for life, but transforms into a beautiful, human woman, looks up at Diego with an incredulous look, and then succumbs to her massive wounds, in that order. Her eyes glaze over and a torrent of blood erupts from at least 5 wounds in her body.
Above, two more wolf-women leap over the railing, sailing down toward Clancy and Diego.
Everyone can act before the undoubtedly misunderstood beast-women tear half the party to shreds.
OOC: I'm assuming that Diego's "Fast" descriptor provides him the ability to do all of this in a single turn. If that doesn't work, no worries. (I'll just take my character and go home!)

Clancy was a changed man. Certainly no one knew him from Adam, but if they had known him before the west they would know a violent and ruthless fighter. That Clancy emerged from his cage, taking bold steps to where the demons would land after their leap. "By the name of Jesus of Nazareth," he unsheathed a machete from behind his back, hidden by priestly robes, "and Clancy Winwood," Clancy gritted his teeth before taking the blade in both hands.
"Go back to hell."
OOC: Clancy will equip his machete, move to the were-belles, and swing away like a mad man.

Clancy, muttering prayers, pulls a huge knife or sword from over his shoulder and from beneath his garments. He steps in front of the left one, sidesteps as she cartwheels to the floor in a spray of lead and blood, and strikes the second wolf-woman down across the collarbone with the blade as if he were hammering a fence post [7 dmg, 4+1(Brawler)+2 for rolling an 18].
The soldiers, having freed themselves from the wreckage of the faro table, draw their knives and advance cautiously on the rabid animal, fearing the gunfire, the wolf-woman's ferocious bite, but also the wildly swinging blade of the rampaging preacher.
The second wolf-woman, badly wounded and seeing its companion fall to the ground, falls backwards, spinning onto all fours and crashes out the window beside the piano.
The old man by the piano sways involuntarily in out of the monsters way with a drunken fools luck, and takes a sip from his glass of beer, perhaps reacting to the fog of cordite in the saloon irritating his throat.
In the kitchen, Mortimer quickly but precisely checks around for the location of the good silverware. He finds a cabinet near the pantry, with glass doors showing off the fine china dinner service, and below it, several drawers which seem a likely place to keep the fine silver cutlery.
Lastly, from behind the bar counter, Louis pulls an enormous rifle from behind the bar, chambers a large, shining .63 slug into the chamber with a shaking hand, and heads for the door.
"Ok we seem to have the situation under control now. Lets see if those beasts are really dead. Massive wounds seem to work, too. But lets visit the gunsmith as soon as possible and get some special shiny bullets."
He takes his pistol out and reenters the saloon to survey the situation.

Inside, the horrific wounds on the second wolf-in-woman's-clothing begin to close, bubbling with its violent convulsions. A bubble of blood forms in the side of its head, and underneath, the bones of the skull can be seen to grow slowly back. The first woman, fully human is also clearly fully dead and not healing.
Diego, keeping back from the clearly healing wolf-woman-hellbeast, spies three items of note on the mostly decapitated woman: an ornate snuff box, a leather bracelet with several inset precious stones, and a small glass bottle with a single orange pill inside. While seemingly ordinary, something about these objects tell him that they are extraordinary.
Diego receives an xp for discovering cyphers.
If Clancy would like to recuperate and heal his depleted might pool, he can attempt a heal check on himself. As previously mentioned, healing works by choosing a number of points to heal, and making an Intellect check against {one less than that number (trained)} times 3. You can only attempt this once per day per target. In addition or alternatively, he can spend a recovery action (one round) and roll recovery (1d6+1).
AJ is also down 4 speed [spent effort on speed checks twice, each costing 2 speed (=3-1 speed edge)] and can make a recovery roll if desired (1d6+1).
"Someone's got some rope or shackles? I imagine we have some questions for this one."
OOC: I'll give a intellect check for a restraint search, just in case one is needed.
My search-fu is strong!
