Aw, shucks, where to start...
"I hate Mexicans!" subsequent gunshot hit the metal tank on the
well-dressed
Mexican's back. The full flamethrower
exploded, killing
both
scientists and a couple of PCs including the shooter... I don't
even
remember how many of the bystanders in the now burning/collapsing
saloon
died...
The old geezer with bad luck and six
sticks of dynamite: "I'll just
slip a
stick inna his drawers and wrestle/throw him into the campfire."
Need I
explain the results of the busted Fightin' roll? Geezer bits
everywhere...
"Throw me the flamethrower tanks
while I wrestle the automaton, then
shoot
the flamethrower!" This was an
actual PC plan. The head of the
automaton
actually survived, and will torment the posse later. That PC
plus
two others turned to paste. One was
separated and not anywhere
near
the mess. The rest used nearly all
their chips.
"I throw a stick of dynamite into the
firebox (of the locomotive
engine)." The plan actually was to destroy the
train. (The Night
Train) He botched it, dumped a small crate of
dynamite all over the
floor,
the backup plan to try again to toss the dynamite and leap from
the
train was botched too, and again with Bad Luck and dogged
determination
was still on the train when the whole crate of dynamite
blows. Which causes the train's boiler to
blow. Which brings the front
of the
train to a screetching halt. Which
wrecks the cars behind the
engine,
one of which contains a crate of nitro bottles (placed there by
the PC
in the engine with the dynamite), which in turn hurtles with
great
force into the wall of the box car and therefore explodes. There
goes
100 yards of train track...
"Ah, Rangers. You cannot kill me. My Kung Fu is superior." This was
one of
the few that didn't involve an explosion.
The Fu-ist was
harrowed
and had lost dominion. The Rangers were
new PCs. Seize the
Pearl
of Death is neat. Two of Texas' Finest
fannin' Winchester rifles
is
neater.
In all of those, I, as Marshal, got to
roll one set of dice. Cognition
check
for the Mexican Mad Scientist. He was
surprised, so I didn't even
get
cards. The rest of the posse was
Vamoosin' thru windows or behind
tables.
"I'll put my gun away when you put
your gun away!"
After shooting a dynamite launcher on a
bandit's back
and
hearing me rolling a lot of dice, the player asked
"Wait!
How far away from him am I?"
(the
answer: 5 yards)
and my all-time favorite since every game
I play in
usually
involves demonic children "I kill the boy."
After one of the Posse Members was
decapitated by a Evil Animated Scarecrow
he
lemented. "I should have never
fought the ScareCrow, Not even Batman can
beat
the Scarecrow"
"Hes dead, I'm dead, How much tougher
can he really be" - Last words of a
Harrowed
gunslinger before he fought with Stone on the top of the Devils
Tower.
"I knew I should have invented a
Parachute" - Same battle as the posses mad
scientist
was thrown off the Devils tower by Stone.
And my all time favorite, After one of my
Posse Member rode his Dynamite
Laden
Donkey into the cave full of Nosferatu blowing him and them into tiny
little
pieces - "Don't you have to check and see if I come back from the
Dead or
something?"
Our all time favorite happened like
this. The bad guys were high-tailin it out
of town, fast. A huckster decides to SkinChange into a Raven. A mystical moment later, BACKLASH. He is laying on the ground with posse
looking down at him and laughing uncontrolably. The Manitou has corrupted the spell. The huckster now has bird legs instead of his own. He's unable to end the spell for nearly an hour. "This is Caw Not funny Caw", he
cried.
The posse had just caught up with a
traveling circus (Cirque de la Damne).
As they
were just entering the big top, the Preacher enthusiastically
squealed,
"Look. A circus. Lion and tigers
and bears. Oh My!
.............Oh
my. Oh my. Oh MY GOD. RUN!"
An over
confident Huckster tried pulling of a complex ricochet shot but went
completely
bust. The bullet bounced off the lock
box on top of the
stagecoach,
ricocheted off the church bell and ended up hitting the huckster
in his
gun hand. "Hehehe, I wasn't going to shoot you guys. (gulp) Really!"
Here
are several lines that always seem to come up:
"What
do you mean, 'The body is gone'?"
"Poke
it with a stick. See if it's dead."
"Let's
get it/them??
You go
ahead and let us know how it comes out."
"So
what's this make, 12 preachers we've lost."
From my own experience, the posse had
faced a group of unique
zombies/walking
dead of a voodoo variety that could only be killed by saying
a short
magical phrase while simultaneously sacrificing a small fowl of some
sort. Later, they came upon plain old everyday
walking dead for the first
time,
which lead to an incorrect assumption and this quote:
"I've seen this before. Get a chicken."
And not exactly a death quote, but a quote
about death. After seeing my
gunslinger
max out on a Quickness roll and take out 6 men before they could
even
act, the huckster (who was a VotWW and knew about harrowed) looked over
at him
and said,
"Just so you know, if you ever die,
I'm shooting you in the head."
And of course one of my favorites
"Nothing could live through
that."
"You're assuming that dead is
safer. You're wrong."
And he was. :)
"Now you fellers don't go no
where..."

Using a heavily modified version of the
story from S&R, the cavern was
colapsing
in from above, dropping huge stones, Virgil remembers that his
precious
modfied Brown Bess was taken, and says the above line - runs back
into
the cavern to get the guns with his Bobcat companion - and was never
seen
again.

Posse is alone in a deserted town, durring
a torrential downpour. The posse holes up at the Saloon and is on edge since
they haven't seen any town folk and there are a few creepy things about the
saloon.
Someone starts banging on the door and
after some paranoid enquiring with
guns
ready the PC's determine it's the towns sheriff & deputy. They let him
on in
and after a few rounds of Q&A he ends up at the bar talking to the
Huckster.
After a drink or two the Sheriff draws his
gun on the Huckster and takes off his hat to reveal a fatal head wound and his
status as an undead.
The stunned and subsequently shot Huckster
uttered the now famous phrase in our group "Aw hell, I didn't know they
could do that!"
This same player also gave us the
immortal..
GM: The
miner looks rather sick and in obvious discomfort.
Player
with Doctor PC: I ask him whats wrong.
GM: (as
miner) "I've got consumption"
Player:
(confused) "Of what?"
