William finally lands a blow on his attacker, spurred on by pain and desperation, trying to knock him out cold.

You can roll on the Resistance Table, pitting the damage caused against the target's remaining HP before being hit. Success knocks him out and does 1/3 of the rolled damage. Failure simply does full damage.

Thomas and William both managed to strike the naked man although it appeared their hits did little damage. William’s attempt to knock out his assailant had not worked and he suffered another hit in return, which caused the room to start to spin...

Lawrence and Howard had more success. Lawrence connected with a heavy punch that broke the woman’s nose with a audible ‘crack!’ before Howard followed up with a hit to her chest. The force of the blows rocked her back on her heals, but she swung the meat hook as she did so and sliced open the underside of Lawrence’s right forearm.

William manages to land another solid punch on the man in the hopes of finally knocking him out, then brings up his fists in time to block any potential counterattack.

Lawrence is merely infuriated by the meat hook-inflicted wound. He winds up another punch and takes a swing at the woman.

Thomas is spurred on by his previous hit and and puts his weight behind another one.

The young men pushed on with their attacks. Howard missed but Lawrence landed a solid blow on the naked woman that rocked her backwards. In retaliation, she flailed again with the meathook but the force of the blow caused her to miss.

Thomas and William both found their target, battering the naked man with their fists. William again attempted a knockout strike but although he caught the man with a heavy punch, there was no sign that he would fall just yet. The naked man struck out at William once more but his blow went wide.

As they readied themselves for another round, from the doorway there was a sudden ‘Click! Click!’ They spun around to see the innkeeper covering them with a cocked and loaded double-barrelled shotgun. Beside him was his brother, no longer in his wheelchair, but instead stood upright, cradling a piece of two by four with a malevolent look on his face.

Behind them stood another man, trying to subdue a young woman who he held tightly to him. She appeared to bite the hand held over her mouth but the man slapped her to the ground where she lay whimpering. He stepped forward to pick her up again and they saw his shirt ripped and torn, which exposed a familiar red wound to his chest. He looked up and they saw his face clearly for the first time - it was James Fraser!

OOC,Naked Man To hit [dice]3[/dice] Damage [dice]0[/dice] Naked Woman To hit [dice]4[/dice] Damage [dice]1[/dice] Plus meat hook [dice]2[/dice] Can I have a SAN roll from everyone to reflect seeing James in such a condition.

Howard gasps in shock at the sight of James in this dreadful condition.

Sanity 65,[dice]0[/dice]

Ooc: Hey GM,did you ever decide If I could that revolver or not? This just seems like the right time to use it.

Thomas' mind reels in shock. He tries to think of any plausible explanation for the scene before him but finds none.

Sanity (80%),[dice]0[/dice]

William manages to stay collected.

OOC,Sanity roll (current level 65) for seeing [b]James[/b]: [dice]0[/dice] I put a bunch of points into Handgun, but I never actually specified my equipment on my character sheet. Could I have one too?

Howard gasped in shock at the sight of his friend and was temporarily rooted to the spot. The naked woman stepped up behind him and grabbed the back of his coat with one hand, while sliding the meathook around his throat with the other. He felt the sharp tip against his Adam’s apple, and knew that one sharp tug would open up his throat.

William covered them with the shotgun. ”Nobody move!” he snapped. His brother stirred beside him, the heavy wooden stave ready for use. William thought for a moment, then said, ”Step forward. You’re coming with us. And no funny business or I’ll shoot you where you stand!”

He stepped back and indicated with the shotgun that they should walk around the hotel and off around the lake to the right.

OOC - Guns,I’m going to allow Lawrence to carry a gun because he specifically stated that he was doing so at the beginning. Although others have put points in handgun, no one else said they were taking one with them, so I’m going to rule that you didn’t take a gun with you.

Feeling the tip of the hook against his throat, Howard can barely bring himself to be able to swallow. He lets himself be guided forward, not daring to resist.

Lawrence steps forward. He would rather not face these hopeless odds.

William does as he's told, keeping his hands in plain sight.

Thomas is unable to do anything other than follow their captors.

The adventure concludes in Chapter 5 - By the Lake in Moonlight.
