Gunfight! Of course we have to end this is a shootout!

Gunfight.

(Fast Draw turned out to be important more than I was expecting.)

This is going to be close then, isn't it.

Abel shoots: 4, hit. Mathew takes 6 damage.
Mathew shoots: 5-2=3, hit. Abel takes 7+2=9 damage.
Abel shoots: 6, hit. Mathew takes 6 damage.
Mathew shoots: 4-2=2, hit. Abel takes 7+2=9 damage.

If your weapon hadn't been the Smith and Wesson Schofield .45 you would probably have died. As it is, you and your 1 stamina point have outlasted Abel.

And thus it ends. Let me know if there's anything you want to know more about.

I regret not being here for most of the ride, but this was the best way to end a wild wild west adventure like this, by the skin of our teeth! Would have made an epic movie climax.

Thanks for hosting.

Also, that one seemed to be better than most. Maybe because it was short and sharp, and maybe because the Wild West and gunfights like that are a bit novel.

Do we ever use the shotgun, rifle or knuckle-duster revolver we are said to carry? I'd be especially interested in the latter, as the former two have good reputations, knuckle-duster revolvers seemed to have been of dubious quality at best.

Yeah, though I wasn't quick enough to join the players, this was a blast.

I'm curious about the skills. The test rate for everything but fast draw seemed quite low. I think detection and spontaneity were second and third best choices, but curious if other paths make other skills better.

No, your other weapons never matter. In every passage where you want to shoot someone, you have your primary weapon if you have any weapon at all. At most, it might relate to your concern about being nearly out of bullets; Mathew could spend bullets on the first five Fridays freely (try saying that five times fast...) because he knew that if Abel came back into the car before he could reload his Smith & Wesson, he always had his revolver.

First Aid is checked for once, in a passage you saw; otherwise, the entirety of its advantage is the "First Aid kits heal 5 instead of 3" thing. Of the others, Spontaneity and Fast-Draw are checked for most often; Tracking is the one I would probably advise someone trying to optimize never to take.

Fast-Draw does seem, not illogically, to go with the presumption that if you want to rely on your gun you'll take it. (At the end, if you had chosen to physically apprehend Abel, Spontaneity would have guaranteed you victory without taking any damage.)
