Um...half vote for train station, I guess.

And, all their powerful friends suddenly don't matter anymore? Ok.

I will vote for the train station.

I will vote to ride as fast as possible and attempt to leap inside the engineer's cab.

We know the engineer's cab has a hostile in it, but slowing down to look for another opening as the train speeds up seems unlikely to work, so to the engineer's cab.

Result of Assessing for Damage: 7.

I still vote to attempt a jump at this location.

Yeah, give jumping here a go.

Mathew is not badly enough injured to fall short and sprain his leg.
Mathew did not open his hotel room door and has never seen this guy before.

We can't try to get the security officer's attention without alerting Abel as well, and going in guns drawn is just suicidal. I vote to wait a while longer before taking any action.

Wait.

And, why can't we just stop the train and let the people chasing it on horses arive?

I take it move to a secure position means dives for cover, which sounds like a good idea.

I would not guess that moving immediately to a more secure position means doing something you've already explicitly done, no. Of all the times FF gamebooks are unclear about what you're actually doing, I'm not seeing the ambiguity here: do you try to shoot another one from your current position or look for a more secure position immediately?

Ah, ok, missed that part. In that case I suggest waiting for them to make a move.

I vote to wait for them to make a move, as moving immediately to a more secure position is just asking to be shot.

Mathew's shot at Logan Test for Aim: 4, success.
Willie Friday's Test for Aim: 6+2=8 is not less than 8, failure.
Clement Friday's Test for Aim: 8+2=10 is not less than 7, failure.
Mathew's shot at Willie Test for Aim: 7, success.
Mathew's shot at Clement Test for Aim: 7, success.

Okay, now I will vote to move to a better defensive position.

Yeah, we can move now.

Hmmm, he book might want us to have a fistfight instead of a gunfight at this point, but I still feel shooting him would be safer. Though, hope we've been reloading our gun, cause by my count we've got one round left otherwise.
