High Stakes at Coyote Bluff (Wild West RP)

(Roll d20 + 2 Accurate aim: 2+3=5 failure)
Kate aimed too high and just blow hat from head of bandit. He made suprised face as he and bandit in the mud getting off it hear loud order of Sarah O'Hara.
"Enemy is over here!" She pointed in right directiona and they both hide behind rocks.
(Roll 3 x d20 - 4 darkness: 16- 4=12, 11-4=7, 2-4=-1 success, failure, critical failure)
Kate suddenly get hit in the shoulder, not too deeply but painfull. But before her eyes come funny view. One of bandits aims too low at her and shoot at rock, by which bullet fly in oposite direction and hit another bandit in the leg, remowing him from fight.
Kate seen how Sarah given some orders, (d20: 5 failure) but she didn't catch what are these orders.

 

"Fours little piggies~" Kate hummed lightly, wincing as bullet came really close.

She reloaded and aimed at the another visible target. She paused.

"What are you trying, little slut~" Kate hummed as she aimed and pulled the trigger, then backed of behind the rock, using them as a shield to move several meters further, back, making a distance, to a new position.

 

(Roll for aim d20: 18 success)
This time Kate managed to hit another bandit, into his throat killing him on the spot. She heard some screams behind herself but she continued to retreat with bullet in her shoulder, dropping blood on ground.
(Roll for shoot d20 - 4 darkness : 19-4=15, 4-4=0, success and failure)
As Kate retreat to second line, she gets hit in the leg, above her knee. Now walking or standing becomes for her almost impossible and she has to crawl.

 

As she changed the position, Kate carefully tied a piece of clothe around her leg, as she glanced from under the rock into the darkness. While she was tending to her wound, she checked for the position of her opponents, as they kept shooting into the darkness to were she used to be.

Kate reloaded her rifle and prepared to give another shoot at clear target then change her position again.

 

As Kate waits and watches, it didn’t come next shots. It’s looks like bandits learned from their own mistakes and didn’t shoot blindly into darkness. Kate watches darkness and looks for targets.
(Perception roll d20 -2 for darkness: 18-2=16 success https://www.rolldicewithfriends.com/rooms/highstakesatcoyotebluffwi )
Kate heard some broken sticks on her left side and realised that bandits decided to try outflank her former position. She spotted some moving figure, covered in the darkness as it moved from rock to rock to keep cover. Target wasn’t clear, close to ground and barely visible.

 

Kate paused - she realised she could make this to her advantage. She moved slowly, using rock to use it as a shield from the others, while turning to the flanking bandit. She aimed at his direction - but she liked to maximize her chances. She grabbed a stone and threw it to the side.

The noise should be enough for the bandit to move, maybe even fire - and that would show her more of his position. Once he did, she would shoot him.

 

(Roll for distraction d20: 2 failure)
Bandit didn’t take bait from Kate, it showed him more of her own position, still not entirely for clear shot but it was enough for him to try. Kate spotted his move and also made aimed at him.
(Roll for Kate d20 +2 for good aim, -4 for darkness, -2 for wound: 11-4+2-2=7 failure.
Roll for bandit d20 -4 for darkness: 5-4=1)
They both shoot in the same time and they both missed.
(Roll for perception for rest of bandit d20 -4 for darkness: 5-4=1, 8-4=4 failure)
In the darkness rest of bandits comes close, but they can’t recognise who is their enemy and who is allied.

 

Cursing, Kate took out her revolver and fired quickly at the bandit who was flanking her - she would need to change position again.

 

(Roll for aim d20 +2 for good aim, -4 for darkness: 12+2-4=10 success. Roll for body part to hit 1-head, 2-torso, 3- right arm, 4-left arm, 5 left leg, 6- right leg: 6 right leg)
Kate has some luck at her side as she manages to hit coming bandit at her. She hears his scream.
„Arg!!!! My leg!!!”
He falls on his knees but despite big pain he still has to take aim at her and fires.
(Roll for aim d20 -4 for darkness, -2 for wound: 12-4-2=6 missed)
But his aim was too high and he missed her. He falls behind rock, likely to tamed wound in leg.
(Roll for perception for bandits d20 -4 for darkness +2 for noise: 18-4+2=16 success)
Rest of bandits realise where is Kate right now and as they coming closer to her, they shots to her.
(Roll for aim d20 -4 for darkness +2 for success perception: 2-4+2=0, 12-4+2=10, failure and success. Roll for body part d6: 3 right arm)
Kate gets shot at her right arm, which makes her fall to the ground and loses her revolver. Her both hands are like from wood and any next aiming would be almost impossible for her to do in her state.

 

(So earlier it was her left shoulder?)

Kate picked the revolver and prepared to fire. She pretended to be down - she waited for the bandit to come close - close enough to shoot him point blank, without aiming.

 

(Yes, she get hit in the left shoulder, right arm and leg)
Kate have trouble with picking revolver, her muscles resist her will, pain was overmaing her, but with her spirit she managed to grab weapon and lie down. Soon from both sides comes two bandits, O'Hara and her men, moving close to the ground, to avoid being shot. Men who get shot in leg move behind them.
(Roll for shoot d20 - 4 for darkness, +2 for good aim, -4 for wounds: 5-4+2-4=-1 failure)
Her shoot was complety out of her control and Kate barely aimed in the right direction.
"Get her down!" O'Hara called to her men and they rushed to defendless Kate.
(Roll for disarm 2x d20 + 4 for wounded oponent: 6+4=10, 6+4=10 success)
Her revolver was kicked out of her hand, the same was done with her rifle. Kate was pushed to the ground and get kicked into stomach. Two pair of hands grabed her arms and locked them, while steping on her legs to mot allow her to kick.
"That bitch make for us so much troubles" Call one of bandits, with big mustache. O'Hara stare at Kate coldly, as she locked her arm in painfull way.

 

Jazmina felt an ember of rage build up in her chest. "Pull her pants down"?! What did this fool take her for, a tramp?! The sheer cheek made her want to turn around and give that peasant a piece of her mind! ... She managed to master her aristocratic tendencies with a quick breath... Before raising her hands and shouting in hysterical Spanish. "<Don't kill me! I don't speak English! I don't want to die, please don't shoot!>" After all, who was to say she knew English? If Robert wanted to take her horse or give her more commands, he would either need to lay his hands on them or get close enough to be seen.

 

(Roll for ability to speak Spanish by Robert d20: 7, he barely knows few Spanish curses, but not enough for basic interactions)
Robert makes another shots at Jazmina
(Roll for aim d20: 8, missing)
She can feel how bullet missed her just by inches. She has no idea if Robert intended to kill her or he wants to scare her off. He repeats.
„Pants! Down! Run”! Like many, he tried to speak louder and clearer to make himself more understood despite language barrier, which was foolish.
(Roll for perception d20 +2 Hunter, +2 for noise: 4+2+2=8 failure)
Robert didn’t showed up and Jazmina has no idea where he could be hiding. But by standing here she risked being shot by him, so she might have to take some action.

 

Kate sighted. Well, not like she could do much at this point - she already done half of the bandits.

She then decided not to worry and to just pass out.

 

Coldness and goosebumps wake up Kate after she passes out. As she comes back to her senses she realises few things. First, she wasn’t dead so bandits didn’t kill her yet. Second, her wounds were patched, still hurting but she wouldn’t die because of them. That was good news. Bad news it was that she was completely naked, they take everything off her, all her clothes, weapons and equipment. Also, her hands were tied behind her back and legs were tied to pole. Also as she opened her eyes Kate realised that she is right now in different place, darkness, rock walls around her and wooden door in front of her. Yes, she was trapped.

 

Kate did not move, continued pretending she was asleep. Slowly, she checked the bondage, trying to see if she could free herself.

 

(Roll for getting free, difficult 15 d20: 10, failure)
Kate bounds were too strong tied to letting her getting free. She heard drops of water hitting to stone, but on other hand it was quiet.
(Perception check d20: 8 failed)
As Kate peaked around not fully opened her eyes, she didn’t find anything what would help her in escaping.

 

With a sigh, Kate lay down again and decided to go to sleep, to recover.

 

Wake up from sleep was unpleasant. Cold water spread over Kate body, making her shivering and sneezing. Two bandits, with empty buckets stands over her.
„Get up bitch”! They ordered her as they grabbed Kate under arms and dragged her out of the room. Now Kate could realise that she was inside mine, as they passed by railroad, hammers, pitchforks and other tools for miners. Cold wind touched her naked and wet body, making her freezing.
Bandits were not gentle with her, making her hit objects in the way, to rise pain in her fresh wounds.
Finally they reached room and knocked.
„Get inside”. It comes voice of O’Hara from inside. Inside it was cosy and more warm than in the tunnel. O’Hara changed bandages on the leg of her companion while other lies on the bed, looking like dead if not his quiet breathing. Sarah turned around and look at Kate.
„You killed Percy and wounded more or less rest of my men. Not bad for single women. I’m both angry and impressed by you”. She nod at her men and they make Kate fall on her knees. She feels their eyes on her naked body, being helpless and humiliated by them.
„What would you say”?

 

Kate grunted as they pushed her to her knees. She was not afraid of being naked in company of men and woman - she done those things enough times in her life for it to be natural to her.

She looked up.

"What's there to say." She looked around and counted. "I went three short." She narrowed her eyes. "Luck, was on your side."
