LogThe Mouldering World-Joe-8

Game log for the 2014/04/27 session of The Mouldering World, as taken by Joe

JonJo lagged behind, ostensibly to get his bike fixed but really to spend time with Jackson Twain. Their conversation goes about as well as can be aimed for. JonJo learns that Jackson's weirdness isn't affected. The weirdo's pocketwatch (the one that had an aura like a black hole) is missing - Phil took it - and the prickly professor is quick with a gun. After Jackson gives JonJo the "Han Solo" move, JonJo tells him about the book. The conversation fades after a while and Jackson disappears.

With no more excuse to stay in town, JonJo takes off toward Clydesdale to catch up with Amber. Along the road, the front fork starts vibrating again. JonJo stops and checks it out, but gets jumped and winds up with a bag over his head.

When I come to, I open my mind and count 8 auras. Some of them are technicolor, like I saw with the hippies. They take the hood off and I see 7 guys and 1 woman, all desperados. Two men look like hippies. The other 6 are toothless, dirty, scrawny, close to creeper types armed with rusty revolvers and machetes. I'm in a tumble down, moss covered shack strapped to a chair.

In the middle of the night, the two hippies untie me and we try to escape. I try to pick up my magnum on the way out but the desperado wakes. He tenses and shoots one of the hippies, but I "seize by force" and get all Angel of Death on them, killing many and scattering the rest.

The one hippies dies. I run away with the other, named Tint. We spend the night with me badly wounded and bleeding. We make Binghamton just before dawn.
