Dinosaur Cowboys

[Stone Wera]

Here's how it works.
I give a basic description of what's going on. You all post what you would do in the situation I am putting you in. I pick one answer among the lot of you, and then roll two dice to see how you did. Rinse, repeat.

By the way did I mention that this has to do with dinosaur cowboys?

BEGIN.

You are a dinosaur cowboy herding triceratops along a barren path on the way to the next city, where they will be taken by train to their next destination.

You and your group stop for the night in a large gulch. The tall pillars of rock around you cast long shadows in the moonlight. You are awakened by a hissing noise to your left.

To your left is a dense collection of rock pillars, easily the best place for a predator's ambush. You look around to see that all dinos and colleagues alike are sound asleep. You decide it best not to wake them, worst possible threat would be a hungry velociraptor, or other small predator.

You step out of your tent and pick up a nearby pistol, hoping it not nessecary to use it. You take a quick glance at the sleeping allosaurus. If she could talk she might back ass-wardsly claim to own you.

You take a few more steps closer to the pillars and __________________________.

Go ahead, fill in that blank.

 

[Tharwen]

Michael Bay jumps out and shouts "BANG!" loudly in my face, before explaining that his special effects budgets was cut dramatically last week.

I slap him repeatedly with a piece of buttered asparagus.

I couldn't help but roll.
You got a 12 (I'm using six sided dice). It's super effective! Micheal Bay slips into the fetal position and begins sobbing as your buttery asparagus thunders down with soul shattering fury, breaking every bone in his body like peanut brittle.

But no, not really. Lets wait before slapping Micheal Bay around with veggies shall we?

Why wait?

[Chaos Incarnate]

Suddenly my worst nightmare came true, a small group of three velociraptors are crouched a short distance from the pillar. Realizing that these Velociraptors could pose a serious threat to my heard I silently pull my pistol out. Taken aim at the largest Velociraptor I fired.

 

[Stone Wera]

Alright. I choose Chaos Incarnate's because Tharwen is apparently high.

You rolled a 6/12. Your first bullet hits the raptor in the leg badly wounding him. In a fit of rage and adrenaline the beast charges at you, but it can't move very fast considering it's leg. Giving you time to get another shot in. You (7/12) hit it in the chest and kill it. Your friends hear the gunshots and rush to your aid. But unfortunately ___________________.

 

[Chaos Incarnate]

An unseen Velociraptor tackles one of my friends tearing his throat out and roaring as if to taunt me.
"NOOOOOO Joey" I cry to no avail as his eyes grow cold and the embrace of death seizes him. The beast quickly snaps around and charges, one of my other friends takes out a shotgun and fires, while I shoot at the two remaining Velociraptors.

Seeing as you're (apparently) the only one playing right now, I'll automagically use your votes until someone new comes along.

The buckshot tears through the flesh like paper (11 of 12) spattering blood across the barren land. Your shots deter the raptors, but do not connect (5 of 12). Suddenly (as if on cue) __________________.

 

[Chaos Incarnate]

One of the triceratops rushes the the remaining Velociraptors, head down attempting to ram them with its razor sharp horns, bellowing a terrifying war cry.

 

[Chaos Incarnate]

I don't know how to make an OOC tag but I have a quick question; What time period does this take place in, in relationship to weapons, vehicles, clothing, etc.

 

[Stone Wera]

Late 1890s. However the lassos are made of steel rope (as to hogtie escaping calves and desperate dromeosaurs). Also the dino threat has called for more powerful weaponry, and more protective clothing.

 

[Stone Wera]

Choas Incarnate's choice... Again.

You watch as the (4 of 12) velociraptors dart out of the way. The wily raptors are far too fast for the triceratops, and they are on him before he has time to even think. they claw at his back, sinking their teeth into the panicking ceratop's back. You are hesitant to fire for fear of hitting the triceratops. Thinking quickly you _______________.

 

[Chaos Incarnate]

Run to Joey's dead body and retrieve the bag of explosives he had before the Velociraptors disemboweled him. Pulling a stick of Dynamite out I toss it at the Triceratops, knowing at the damage the Velociraports are doing to the Triceratops, it's dead already.

 

[Stone Wera]

You toss the dynamite (2/12) but miss and instead hit a pillar, causing it to topple... Right on the wagon where the supplies were kept... The velociraports rip out large chunks of flesh from the dead cattle and run off with enough food to last them days.
-2 Alignment with your colleagues. Careful with that alignment stuff.

You hang your head in shame as you return to the group. None of them say anything yet, but you know that you might never live this down. They count the cattle and find two to be missing. An adult (you know the one) and a baby. They estimate the damages and try to recover as many supplies as they can. Setting up traps next time you camp might be a good plan. You attempt to lead them as best you can and decide to ________________________.

 

[Robert632]

Go to a town get supplies and possibly hire someone to replace Joey.

 

[Stone Wera]

You enter the next town to find...
A saloon filled with hookers and numerous shady characters,
a general store with many supplies (you've 15/100, you lose a number equal to the number of people in your posse daily),
a weapons vendor (you've a pistol, knife, steel lasso, and 4 dynamite sticks).

You have $100. It would pay to do some odd jobs or take a bounty to earn more cash.
You decide it best to ______________________.

 

[Robert632]

Murder all the townsfolk and steal all their stuff.

 

[Stone Wera]

You rolled a 9/12. Let the murder begin!

You rob the bank, kill the townsfolk, kidnap the womenfolk, take over the bar, and cause general mayhem.

You got: 70 supplies (85 total), 6 heads of cattle (24 total), $80 ($180 total), a special shotgun (sawed off), and have a bounty on your gang for $1,400 (you didn't think that people would ignore the fact that a large town just went missing, did you?).

Better news is that (most of your group being big on that religon thing) your gang is now experiencing a time of uncertainty. They know it's wrong to pillage, but after seeing the benefits it reaps they are unsure. They need a leader to guide them through this moral issue. Your actions now doubly affect them, and they can be swayed to go down a more sinister path.

 

[Chaos Incarnate]

"Hear Hear Y'all" I yell "The path of rightness is a waste of time the path of Darkness shall lead us riches is a far sweeter road filled with pleasures worth are time and effort, so let us no longer walk this worthless path and instead dedicate ourselves to the pursuit of power and riches beyond our wildest dreams"

 

[Stone Wera]

(7/12) Turns out your public speaking skills actually come in handy once and a while.
+ 2 x 2 to group alignment.

You continue to head down your path when you hear the screams of a young lady to the East. You decide to ___________________.
