Ooh! Oooh!

Our group has a posse member (Victoria James, played by List member Daphné
Brunelle) who, for some mysterious reason, never gets shot at by Genuine
Servants o' the Reckoners and who, when chipping wounds, seems to be
redirecting them to her husband!

Given that she's pregnant (long story) and really can't afford to take any
wounds (much less ones to the guts!), this leads to a really irate Vicky and
one battered spouse.

Ah, the joys of being the Evil Marshal.
