RE: [DL] Kewlest death quote...

["Jeff Yates" <jyates@primaryfunction.com>]

Aw, shucks, where to start...

"I hate Mexicans!"  subsequent gunshot hit the metal tank on the
well-dressed Mexican's back.  The full flamethrower exploded, killing
both scientists and a couple of PCs including the shooter... I don't
even remember how many of the bystanders in the now burning/collapsing
saloon died...

The old geezer with bad luck and six sticks of dynamite:  "I'll just
slip a stick inna his drawers and wrestle/throw him into the campfire."
Need I explain the results of the busted Fightin' roll?  Geezer bits
everywhere...

"Throw me the flamethrower tanks while I wrestle the automaton, then
shoot the flamethrower!"  This was an actual PC plan.  The head of the
automaton actually survived, and will torment the posse later.  That PC
plus two others turned to paste.  One was separated and not anywhere
near the mess.  The rest used nearly all their chips.

"I throw a stick of dynamite into the firebox (of the locomotive
engine)."  The plan actually was to destroy the train.  (The Night
Train)  He botched it, dumped a small crate of dynamite all over the
floor, the backup plan to try again to toss the dynamite and leap from
the train was botched too, and again with Bad Luck and dogged
determination was still on the train when the whole crate of dynamite
blows.  Which causes the train's boiler to blow.  Which brings the front
of the train to a screetching halt.  Which wrecks the cars  behind the
engine, one of which contains a crate of nitro bottles (placed there by
the PC in the engine with the dynamite), which in turn hurtles with
great force into the wall of the box car and therefore explodes.  There
goes 100 yards of train track...

"Ah, Rangers.  You cannot kill me.  My Kung Fu is superior."  This was
one of the few that didn't involve an explosion.  The Fu-ist was
harrowed and had lost dominion.  The Rangers were new PCs.  Seize the
Pearl of Death is neat.  Two of Texas' Finest fannin' Winchester rifles
is neater.

In all of those, I, as Marshal, got to roll one set of dice.  Cognition
check for the Mexican Mad Scientist.  He was surprised, so I didn't even
get cards.  The rest of the posse was Vamoosin' thru windows or behind
tables.

Oh, and I use the Weird West pre-MIBD massive damage rules too.
