Dead Man's Hand


Clem MacNaulty and his Black Heart Outlaws have ridden into the outlaying town of Little Prospects and came into conflict with Earl Spurle and his Cactus Desperadoes. In time honoured fashion - This town isn't big enough for the two of us!


As per Wild West law both gangs set up at the end of the main (read as only) street and preceeded to try and blow the rootin tootin heck out of each other.

The Black Hearts started well with a Dude secreted on the yellow buildings balcony, getting a good bead on a Cactus Bad Un and forcing him to take a nerve check.


The shoot out went on for a few turns before the first major casualty was caused. MacNaulty charged round the side of a building and pistol whipped Earle, nearly taking him out in one hit. The Cactus gang then managed some dead eye shootin and took out the Black Heart Dude on the balcony.


Clem MacNaulty then grabbed Earle and putting his sixgun under his chin, pulled the trigger and splattered the Desperado leaders greymatter all over the boardwalk.



The Desperadoes howled madly and sprayed lead all round Little Prospect, taking out another Black Heart. The Outlaw Gunfighter then moved into the fray and fanned his sixguns taking out another Desperado.

 
Blood was splattered all round Little Prospect and both sides were wavering. The Cactus gang managed to get one of their guys in good position and a lucky bullet slammed into MacNaultys chest dropping him to the ground.


Even though both gangs were ready to break because of the serious losses, they both kept blazing away, not wanting to bottle it.

 
The Black Hearts got the upper hand though and their Gunfighter took out the last Cactus member leaving two Black Hearts standing in the dirt and dust of Little Prospects street.

Boot Hill will have a fair new number of fresh graves!
