[HOE] That's one way of doing it...

["Ray C." <r_a_c_@hotmail.com>]

Well, this is certainly one way of taking out the opposition...

The NPC that's traveling with my Posse is a Harrowed by the name of Ol' 
Zeke, who, unforetunetly, has a tendency of loosing his head again and again 
and again (Literally!), and had just recently had his spine severed up near 
the neck (Thus cutting off the connection to the rest of his body, thusly 
allowing him movement from the neck up only.).

Despite this, the Posse was able to save the town, taking out the main place 
where the Black Hats were holded up (A school), by driving a borrowed F-150 
through the front doors, into the hallway, and running over most of them.

One, the leader, however, snuck back, while the Posse was securing the rest 
of the school (And wrecking all the lockers, 'cause they always wanted to do 
that at their school.).  Grabbed Ol' Zeke out of the box of the truck, put 
his 9mm Caseless Pistol to Zeke's temple, and started screaming that he'd 
blow his head off if he wasn't given leave to the Duce-and-a-Half out front 
so that he could get away.  All the while, shaking Ol' Zeke.

Eventually, this rough action became too much for Zeke's poor abused body to 
handle, and his body fell from his neck.

Swiveling his head around (Disembodied heads can do this in Deadlands!  
'Cause it inspires fear!!!), and Zeke just said in a nonchalante way, "Hi, 
how's it goin'???".

Guts Check!!!  Owwwwwww...  Critical fail!!!  The rest of the Posse, who 
were expecting this (And had to sew Zeke back together on various occasions) 
were immune to this.

Scart Table...  Heart Attack...

Critical Fail...

Clutching his chest, the Black Hat Major dropped to the ground...  And, 
after the traditional emotionless "Ow.", Zeke simply stated, "I got him!".

Not bad for someone who just had to use his head, eh???  :-)
