@Landain

Which area of the room does Finny go to? (Just to determine which extra info he might get! )



Forgive my kindergarten art work. ;)

Green is stairs and a small landing. The blue is a second floor enclosed office. The red boxes are two interior windows that each have white curtains currently drawn closed, but could look down into the main saloon area.

The poker game is at the table with 5 chairs. (though in-game there are 6 since there are 6 players. My wonderful artistic talents do not extend to adding additional chairs to the map. )

I can add this map to the IC too in my next post, just wanted to get it made and put out there for everyone. (Not that we're tracking grid movements or anything! I'm mostly just curious if Finn goes to the area that's beneath the second story office. Or if he goes more toward the front of the saloon.)

@BigPapaBelial, I apologize... I missed your pair of twos. I'll make some edits to make mine jive with yours. (But the end result remains the same!)

edit: I think I fixed it! hopefully I got everyone else's cards straight!

Mary seems displeased with her cards and folds as well. Since Finny has folded, that leaves just Mr. Logan, Taylor (aka Barnabus), Billy, and Mistihkoman playing for the pile in the center of the table.

"I've heard some outlaws go on to become bounty hunters. Is that true, Mr. Johnson?" Mr. Logan asks Taylor. Though he frames it politely, there is a not-so-nice undertone to his question.

He turns his gaze to William, a short look of distaste passing over his face as the man asks if he's hiring. "My payroll is full at the moment," Mr. Logan said to Billy, taking another large sip of his whiskey and nearly rolls his eyes at Finny's sharing of Texas history... as if a kid from Massachusetts knew anything about Texas. "Time to lay down..."

The community cards are turned: King of Diamonds, 7 of spades, and 2 of spades.

Mr. Logan actually cracks a smile when the King of Diamonds appears. He's holding the King of Hearts and that bodes well.

But his smile falters when Mistihkoman hand shows the pair of 2s, giving him 3 of a kind. There was just no way in hell the savage native could have won... again!

"This has been fun gentlemen," he said, his thin cheeks flushed with anger, "but I believe I’ve been cheated! I’ll take my money back now, thank you!" He reaches for the pot, obviously intending to scoop it all up.

The 4 roughnecks at the bar set down their drinks. As do the 4 at the other table... attention in the room quickly shifting to the poker table...

Alright! Rolled last night, just haven't gotten a chance to sit down for long enough until now!

Billy & Mistihkoman both got 18, so I had to do a tiebreaker, which went to Mistihkoman. :)

I'll go get crackin' on the IC right now!!

Oh, my apologies guys. I haven't really used the dice feature here before. Just assumed anyone could roll in a 'campaign' that I created.

Mind if I roll for those that haven't yet? Though it's gonna be hard to beat Billy!

♠ Showdowns & Saddles ♠

Would anyone care to roll for the poker hand winner? :) 1d20 just for fun?

Roll here: roleplayerguild.com/campaigns/750

Mr. Logan is apparently going to be giving up more of his money with his big roll of a 2!

@BigPapaBelial, you want another post before I go again as Mister Logan? Looks like Moose hasn't been online in a week so I'll skip past Mary this time around.

(Though chime in if you're still keeping an eye on things @MooseIsLoose! And we'll certainly wait.)

♠ Showdowns & Saddles ♠

No worries! I know weekends are hit or miss for folks. No big deal to wait a couple days.

I tend to prefer past tense, but since this is Casual, it is not a requirement. :)

Mr. Logan gave Taylor, Billy and then Mistihkoman a tight-lipped and annoyed smile at their statements about keeping his money. "Lady Luck is a fickle mistress, gentlemen," he said, managing to sound as if he thought them anything but. He put his dollar down on the table and then adjusted his clean tie with his meticulously trimmed fingernails, a somewhat obvious tell that he was displeased with his cards. "Perhaps she'll decide to smile on me this hand."

He glanced over at the woman smoking a cigar and then the young man that looked like he'd barely stepped off the train yesterday. He sighed in further annoyance. That either of them had even managed to win a couple dollars was exceedingly perturbing.

No one had asked him directly, but he inserted himself into the small talk anyway to hide his rather poor poker face. "So Big Knife is a hunter. What do the rest of you do for a living? Myself, I'm actually in the cattle business. Originally from Georgia, but I've been out here for awhile now."

There are others scattered around the room besides the saloonkeeper and the poker players: 2 men playing pool, a man at the piano, plus 4 roughnecks at the bar (there'd been 5 before Mary's would-be suitor left with a bloodied nose) and 4 at the second table, one of which glances over at the poker game every once in awhile.

Mary looks good! If you don't mind, add her to the 'Characters' tab. And, feel free to introduce her in the IC whenever you're ready. (I went ahead and edited her into the poker game too!)
