"I doubt he has," replies the barkeep. "Mr. Biggs probably uses it for keeping tabs on his operation. Especially with the mines that have opened up in the last few months. Y'know what, Lloyd is the pilot. You should really talk to him to get the most details. You in the market for an airship, Marshal?" He smiles a toothless grin and continues, "I recognized you when you came in." The barkeep gives Auren a refill of coffee and pours himself a cup. "I don't tend to wander too far from the Watering Hole myself. But I'll tell you what, there's been some strange folk about lately."

A cowboy with a stogie and the biggest pile of money on the table before him looks at his mates and says, "If you got the cash to lose, we'll gladly take if from ya." They all snicker. Someone kicks an empty chair so that it slides in Tommy's direction. "Take a seat city-slicker," another cowboy says, then downs a shot of whiskey. "Maybe those irons are worth something, eh?"

"Thanks for the coffee, put it on his tab." Auren thumbs towards Tommy and continues, "A Drack with a tin star on his chest is kind of hard to miss, huh? And here I thought under-cover work was going to be my specialty. You say there are stranger folks than me and Grog out by the gate, do tell, I love a good story."

The bartender leans in closer, speaking low. "A few of the ranch hands coming in lately, they've got a wild look in their eye. Others have a look that's completely blank, like there's nothing underneath. During the night, strange figures walk the road, coming and going, rarely straying from the shadows. And lately, there's been word of odd happenings up at the manor. Talk of lightning and steam."

"Hey Nuge," interrupts a patron sitting at the end of the bar. "You got any of that Sarsaparilla Sunshine?"

"Excuse me," says the barkeep and hobbles to the liqueur cabinet.

Jp is staying put. He doesnt want to start a fight by raising suspicions. Even if he cant see the entrance he would be able to see people converging on the buildings. If he gets an opening to move closer to a good hiding spot he will.

"thanks, Nuge" Auren says as he turns to survey the bar, while keeping an eye on the door.

Any other entrances\exits?

Auren will follow Nuge's tip and try to see if he can spot any 'boys with either wild or blank looks in their eyes.

Tommy sits with only a feint smile on his face. He slaps down some cash. "Deal me in."

Let me know when to make a Tricks check.

His attention is fixated on the ranch, but from behind him and further up the road from the direction the heroes had come, JP could swear he notices a flash of orange light.

Besides the main entrance, there appears to be a back door.

Also, Auren notices a man sitting in the corner alone. He is mumbling to himself over his beer and dragging a bowie knife across his arm, leaving bloody cuts.

That's a pretty sick gambling skill!

The cowboy to the left of Tommy sighs and mutters, "This trail is getting too rough for this cowboy. I fold."
"You never could handle the kitchen when things start to get cooking," replies another cowboy. "I raise you $20," he adds, throwing in some more chips. The pot is up to $70.

Tommy needs to beat all of their Bluff checks, so roll 3 more times.

The 2nd cowboy folds, without protest, but he looks furious.

The third cowboy throws in some chips. "You've got skills city-slicker, but I'm sticking to my guns. Raise you $10."

The fourth cowboy folds. "Me not like city-slicker," he grumbles.

Auren puts down a good tip on the bar for the coffee, $5 sound generous?

Auren will whisper to Nuge before he stands up, "I appreciate a fair warning, friend. So here is one in return - you might want to find a fast excuse to go to town or at least clear out. I ain't here for a social call. Twice in the last 48hrs, some of Biggs' men have drawn down on me and tried to kill me. They are all in pine boxes. They weren't... normal. I am here to get to the bottom of this, whether it leads to Bossman or his new mine. Go see Tommy Larsen at the Dead Slug Saloon. You and "Toothless Tommy" should get along fine and I hear he needs a new day bartender."

Auren will walk over to Bain, no attempt at being subtle. "Something wrong with your arm, Bain?"

"Not tasty enough," the cowboy replies and lays down his cards. He wins this hand and begins sweeping the chips into his pile. "Try again?" he asks,smirking.
Another cowboy laughs. "He ain't got the gall to play you again, Lennie."
"Me still think he cheats," says another.

JP sees one of the riders (who was near the stable) ride up to the gate and begins talking to the guards. He also sees an ox-pulled wagon come down the private road and the driver begins chatting with one of the horsed men by the stable.

Detect Evil!

Is Bain otherwise human looking? (minus the fangs)

Auren says loud enough for the room to hear, "Yup, I sure do. I have a problem with monsters pretending to be men. I have a problem with purple squid-heads shooting lightning guns at me."

Auren opens his stance a bit to include the rest of the bar, "Now I am inclined to be tolerant of strange looking folks, given that I am a might strange lookin myself. But when they all try to kill me, twice, I have a problem with that. And ya know, it makes me wonder.... if I weren't around, who else would these black oily skinned creatures be trying to kill and impersonate?"

"These monsters can take the exact shape and voice of a man. If any of you have kin or anyone you care about in Arizona, you might think twice about which side you are on today. I know Bossman couldn't pay me enough to let my friends and family be replaced by these foul things."

Jp will take 10 for perception =31 on watch until he needs to act. He is hoping to catch a glimpse of whats in the cart.

"I'll make ya a deal, pilgrim," Lennie responds. "If you win, you make all your chips back, and then some. If I win, I get one of them fancy side-irons. Let's sweeten the pot, shall we?"
"Too rich for my blood," responds the first cowboy.
"I'm in," says the second.
"Me too," says the fourth.

Roll 3 Tricks (Gamble) Checks against their Bluff...

Perception Check reveals Lennie is a card-shark. Probably the second cowboy is too. The first guy is a ranch hand (maybe a gunslinger?), and the fourth guy is a tough brawler type.

Player knowledge: Lennie, the guy that beat you, is a Mountebank townie. Maybe the second guy is one as well.

Auren doesn't locate any allies in this out-of-the way private bar.

Detect Evil reveals Bain to have a fiendish aura.

He sneers, "You talk when you should fight, Wyrmscum!"

When he turns his attention back up the road, JP sees two men approaching on foot. The first is dressed in a well-made suit. The second one looks to be a gunslinger. He has a rifle out and is looking around in your direction.

Roll a Stealth (Hide) check vs their Perception...

Good news, Alan! Very Happy

Tommy shoots Bain. He glares at the gunslinger with abyssal dark eyes.

Lennie shoots at Tommy and misses.

Bain bares his fangs and flexes his muscles. His fiendish aura of Mass Harm suddenly expands in a 30' burst:
~Auren: Crit! (bypass DR, max damage) = 48 points of vile damage
~Tommy: 19vsWill = 21 vile damage
~Bud: 24vsWill = 21 vile damage, he's wounded
~Glen: 23vsWill = 21 vile damage, he's dead
~Sarge: 14vsWill = no effect
~Lennie: 26vsWill = 12 vile damage, he's wounded
~Lou: 14vsWill = 24 vile damage, he's dead
~unknown patron: 21vsWill = 17 vile damage, he's dead
~serving girl 1: 25vsWill = 18 vile damage, she's dead
~serving girl 2: 20vsWill = 19 vile damage, she's dead
~Nuge: 28vsWill = 13 vile damage, he's dead

Then Bain shifts to W-20 (in front of the window).

Sarge shoots at Bain: 21vsRef = 6 damage

Bud runs to V-20 and attempts to grapple Bain: 18vsFort = miss

Auren is up...

Auren is up...

holy crap!

I see only 1 option for our ass-whooped Marshall here..... FAITH!

Auren has 3 Faith pts, 1/2 per lvl rounded up, so 3 at 5th, with access to Int. tiers **edit for bad math, I initially wrote 6**

You can spend 1 faith point to use a basic boon listed under your
deity. You can spend 2, 4 or 8 faith points to use intermediate,
advanced, and paragon boons, respectively, assuming you normally
have access to those tiers.

Shield of Palendine: As an immediate action when a foe
scores a critical hit on you or an ally within 30 ft, the hit is downgraded
to a normal attack. Costs 2 vitality.

Auren will invoke a Shield of Palendine, downgrading the smack-down crit to a regular hit.

So I need a regular damage roll from the GM, please. I can then apply my DR as usual, but given the other damage numbers, Auren should survive.

"It's clobber'in time!"

Auren will move 10 ft in a straight line to X-20, moving thus qualifies his attack as a Charge. Auren will use Rapid Attack to take 2 swings at the Fiend Bain. Auren will use his Hustle ability for an extra move action to activate Repulse Evil on my next successful attack.

Is there flanking bonus? I couldn't find it....

2 attacks, -2 to each roll
affraid

Result of the throw of dice "1d20 +10" :

20 + 10 = 30

"Paledine must be watching over me" Auren thinks to himself. (crazy dice)

Max hit, bypass DR
2d6 = 12 + 22 +5 charge +5 smite evil = 44 damage
+ Repulse EvilM: As a move action, your next successful melee
weapon attack that round against an evil-aligned foe also pushes back
that foe a distance of 1d4 x 5 ft. If there is no space to move back,
your foe falls prone instead. Costs 1 vitality

since he is flanked by Bud, there is no space to move back and he is knocked prone

2nd attack, now with +2 vs prone
Result of the throw of dice "1d20 +12" :

17 + 12 = 29
Result of the throw of dice "2d6 +27" :

4 + 5 + 27 = 36

Auren is -3 vitality plus whatever damage he took after DR.

Is Bain still alive? Auren might not be finished

The two men walk down the road, approaching JP, who is lying in the dirt. The gunslinger points his rifle at JP.

[Only admins are allowed to see this image]

"Drop you weapon and stand up, partner," he orders.

JP surrender? Otherwise, roll initiative.

41 - 12DR = 29

I used 2 vitality for Shield of Paledine, so Auren had 23 to start

so Auren loses all vitality and takes -6 wound damage.

He then wouldn't have had the vitality to power Repulse Evil, so no knockdown on the first attack. My bad, I figured the damage would have been in the 17-21 range like everyone else.
