Law of the Gun OOC

[redwarrior]

an excellent show! One of the great things about streaming is it gets easier and easier to find all the good old stuff!

[redwarrior]

Ugh. I got used to Unseen sending me emails to prompt me to log in. Hopped on this morning and something like 25 alerts piled up. Considering you only get one alert per thread at a time...

[jemmus]

This is what I was trying to post in my previous post.

Uncle Earl's Classic TV has lots and lots of old TV shows, for free. (Intel courtesy of Grognardsw).

GM:

I know its a pain, but could we have a list of what is available after we pay the Tonkawa for services and for hiding our trail?

Doos needs a new horse... And not one with a local brand.

[jemmus]

I have a list of the loot ready, I'll post it this evening. I'm going to skip some IC interaction and let everyone know that the brands on the stolen horses aren't ones you've seen before. Four horses have one brand and two another one.

One of the bareback horses appears to be an Excellent grade sorrel stallion. The saddled horse appears to be an Excellent chestnut mare. The other horses appear to be Good quality. It seems that the rustlers cherry-picked the goods.

Items/loot after the rustler hideout shootout
Lever action carbine (with Doos)
Lever action rifle
Lever action rifle
Double action revolver
Single action revolver (with Paladin)

Good bay quarter horse stallion (diamond 1 brand)
Good arabian/rangy Texas horse sorrel mare (lazy S brand)

Hunting/fighting knife
Pocket knife

Pistol and rifle ammunition (reportedly in the house)
Dirty bedrolls (reportedly in the house)
A deck of cards (seen by Paladin and Sebastian on a barrel table in the house)

$82.41 in bills and coins

Based on the PCs' backstories, only PCs scout Charlie and cowboy Sebastian are from around this part of the country. They can both roll Observation checks to see if they might have seen these brands in Hays County (San Marcos, Hoffman's) or Comal County (the PCs' present location out in a remote spot on the prairie in Comal County). Doos has already expressed reservations about horses with out-of-county brands, but not exactly elucidated about why....

[Bluetongue]

These rustlers held our own character horses too did they not? While my own horse was a basic and underwhelming nag with little flair or intelligence, it was still my horse.

Sebastian would be happy getting his own back, being released from any parole or bail conditions and having a little money to pay a Doctor to see him back together.

I will take the deck of cards only for roleplaying my gambling skill.

If I have to choose a horse, a 'lazy S' one would be fine. easiest to rebrand ...

[Grognardsw]

Paladin will take his original horse, a lever carbine rifle, extra ammo, and his share of the divided-
up money.

If there are extra pistols left over, we could sell and divide the proceeds.

Paladin would inquire about the branded horses in San Marcos, and turn them in. If unclaimed, he’d trade up his own for a better.

Will post IC per above, and talking to our prisoners.

[Rex]

Charlie

Observation (16) [1d20]=5

Charlie will take his horse, tack, a revolver (a .44-40 if possible), holster and ammo.

[ateno]

OOhh A buckskin horse is pretty!

Doos would like the Buckskin Mare, as I think he would get first choice.

He will keep the lever action carbine

And a share of the cash.

Doos will way we should look to try and return the horses to their owners,

[Rex]

Charlie

Agreed, Doos should have first choice.

[jemmus]

The cash comes to $11.77 per person, including Gideon.
The carbine is with Doos.
Gideon took a single action revolver.
Charlie knows that these aren't Hays or Comal County brands.
Anyone can do a Law roll to know how stolen horses are handled under the law. (But only Doos and William are likely to succeed).

[jemmus]

Correction: There were a total of 5 revolvers, not 6.
1 DAR
3 SAR (after Gideon took one)
Gideon's donated cap and ball

[redwarrior]

William would like to take one of the rifles (and ammo from the house).
If no one objects, he would also like to adopt the chestnut quarter horse. (diamond 1 brand)

[Rex]

Charlie

Sheet updated

Did he get a revolver/holster/ammo?

[jemmus]

Charlie requested a pistol earlier, and since the PCs are taking things (and Gideon did too), I suppose he got one.

You guys can figure out among yourselves if anyone owes money to everyone else.

[Rex]

Charlie

Sheet updated. Thanks

[Bluetongue]

Sebastian

I also have the shotgun taken from 'Slim' Davidson, so I will equip that.

Cash share added.

[jemmus]

I realizes today that I'd forgotten about the shotgun. And there were two carbines and just one rifle. Here's a corrected list.

Anyone take anything else? Paladin has already said that you/he would take any unclaimed firearms to sell. And that you would take the stolen horses. What do you do with any unclaimed stuff? For example, the knives, watch, etc.?
