A Fistful of Crecibles/Session 3

Ivory Hands is convalescing in Dr. Guilford's office. A mysterious stranger in a massive sun-yellowed white sunhat and suit walks into the saloon. She procedes to get into a staring contest with Starke, which goes nowhere quickly. Shortly after, another stranger walks in — a halfling with a pompadour almost as big as the rest of his body and a classical guitar decked out with glitz and bangles. Millie was standing there cleaning her last unbroken glass and serving Gordon his favorite rotgut (distilled from fermented horse piss).

The halfling, known as "Pelvis Resley" sat down and began strumming a tune. But almost immediately, Gordon began heckling him. He shouted insults and then threw an empty beer bottle at him. In retaliation, Pelvis threw one of the drumsticks right into Gordon's face. At Millie's behest, they went out into the street to settle their differences, after Gordon revved the engine of his 'mech to drown out Restley's performance. Starke at this point decided for some reason the climb up the mech and give it a bear hug, much to everyone's bewilderment. Isra observed the fight unfold, ready to attack the first to stumble.

Pelvis made to play a 'brown' chord and throw his opponents off guard, but instead broke one of his strings and woke the sheriff up, who came over and cited the musician for creating a public disturbance. As Sheriff Fergus went to confiscate his guitar, however, Pelvis flipped down the head of the instrument, revealing that it is also a machine gun, and unloaded into the sheriff, seriously injuring him.

A brief fight ensued, which ended with the other newcomer, Isra, raking Pelvis with what looked like knives or maybe claws and putting him down. Starke followed the sheriff into the telegraph office / jail and engaged in a staring contest with Pelvis. Pelvis, who had already lost a lot of blood, fainted during the staring contest and very nearly died due to the incompetence of the deputy who tried to heal him.

Starke took pity on Pelvis and brought him to Dr. Guilford to be treated. In the meantime, the blustery Timmy McKeough rolled into town with some armored cars to make a proclaimation. After some long winded declaration which for some reason focused mostly around insults using the various homophones of "you" ("yew" "ewe" etc.) and the resulting heckling, he pinned a notice to Starke (along with a note clearly not meant to be posted telling Timmy to "not fuck this one up"). He then threatened everyone again, but then mentioned something which interested Gordon and Isra: That the McKeough's had put out a bounty on Kobold heads — bonus if they can prove they are members of the Kobolds of T.

They went over to the sheriff in Dr. Guilford's office and asked him for the location of a kobold nest to strike. He reluctantly (and very clearly in the presence of the good doctor) told them of a nearby nest. They left, and a mile or two outside of town were shot at by a couple of kobold rebels. Gordon tracked them down, and threw too many grenades into their shallow hiding cave, completely vaporizing them. This gave the other kobolds enough time to escape and as they approach the nest, it explodes (a poor demolition check). Thus, the pair return to town, empty handed.
