[HoE] R.I.P.:My posse

["B.D. Flory" <bflory@frontiernet.net>]

Well, my posse just got wiped tonight, and I pity them not a bit.

I was running what was essentially going to be an adventure in the vein of
"Running Man": the posse was trapped in Denver; after about a half hour of
sneaking around, they got involved in a "confrontation".  The intent of
this was to give them an idea of just what they were up against, and remind
them to keep their heads down and their guns quiet.

There were five automatons.

Had they run, they would have lived...there were several easy escape routes
that the automatons were to big to fit through.  As I said, this was just
to put a little fear into the posse.  

No such luck.

They promptly decided to take cover among the crates and boxes, and try to
fight.

C'est La'vie. (sp?)

This is the ironic part, tho'.  One of the characters had destiny as a
mysterious past.  Y'know, the one where you don't die, except when you pull
a joker.  One by one, I first pulled cards to see if everyone was harrowed.
 No dice.

I pull the card for the destined character?  Guess what...

Joker.

They're all dead...hope they're a little wiser for it.
