Rev smiles, "Just pay me the 100 you actually owe me!" he yells above the gun shots echoing through the little clearing.

Damage
With an overhead swing Bralla brings his Falchion down on top of the Skeletons head cracking it's skull there is a loud bone crunching sound as the shock of the blow runs through its spine crumbling all the vertebrae. Armour crashes to the ground among all the bones.
Watching the combat unfold in front of him and hearing the clash and boom of sword and gun..Ace remembers something he saw while they were laying the railway. 'Its time to play my hand' he whispers.
He jumps back once gain out of the skeletons reach and spinning his revolver into its holster.
Hands quickly darting around his coat Aces find what he is looking for..a small hip flask, dented and worn and an off white cylinder, long as 2 hands, with a short black fuse sticking from it....TNT he heard one of the rail engineers call it. The flask ..Liquid lady luck he calls it.
Fist swigging deep on the flask Aces feels the Luck flow through him...his muscles tighten and flex feeling more loose, more limber but his senses dim.
Dex =24
Wis =9
AC = 21
Time seems to slow as Aces looks to the cilinder in his hand judging the distance aces cuts the fuse and lights it....
With a quick flick of his wrist it goes sailing toward the closest skeleton as Aces yells...'REV! BRALLA! GET DOWN NOW!!!!

"I told you Bruce would get you," the half-orc chuckles at the pile of bones.
"But Gods be Damned, Bruce, what a hit!"
"Everyone okay? Darri, you a'right?"
Bruce brings his sword down square on the Skeletons head which crumbles with the blow along with the rest.
"Darri alright. Maybe just sit down one minute." she says looking a little shaken but not wounded. She sits down next to a tree and studies the ground looking at the tracks.
Bruce jumps up and down on the pile of bones that was the skeleton for a while, until he calms down.
Rev 10 dmg
Aces 11 dmg
Bruce 22 dmg
Bralla 10 dmg
After returning his two holtsers and rapier to their scabbards, Rev makes a rounds of the group checking for anything to serious. He binds any open wounds, wrapping them tightly in linen bandages hoping it will be enough.
When he comes to Bruce, he gasps for a moment looking at the wounds the giant warrior has taken.
Heal Check on group, doing just Long Term Care sort of thing? .
Treat Deadly Wounds on Bruce. . F%~%.
Cure Light Wounds on the big guy.
I only have one channel energy left, should I use it to get us all up to full strength?
Kimba comes back about ten Minutes later with another young Native girl (say 17 odd) trailing behind her** spoiler omitted ** Then she says to everyone "Kimba thank Whitties for help. Here" at this point she holds out six small flagons with stoppers "this drink help you fight longer. May Great Mother lend strength you arm"
A quick inspection by The Rev reveals that the flagons contain Cure Moderate Wounds Potions. I didn't make this clear at the time...
Darri gets up and moves around looking for the trail. After a minute while The Rev is tending the parties wounds she says "Ok, Darri find boot mans track again... When you ready we follow yes?"
"They all stood here for a bit and then they all split up" She inspects the ground some more. ** spoiler omitted ** Then she points "There, ha, a Man with boots! He went this way" She points and then quickly moves off in that direction. You follow for ten or more minutes, all the while Darri is focused on the tracks at her feet as she tells you they are faint.
Bralla walks back a little to retrieve his bow. Then, thinking out loud, "Man with boots, Darri said. Man with boots not no native then. Native no needs boot for feet.
"Darri, can you find these boots again?"
"See here, between scratches and foot print of dead men things..." she points to an area a bit jumbled by a lot of foot prints. You can clearly see the impression of a riding boots! "Darri reckon that print is made by whitie yes."
Darri leads on for a couple of hours more carefully watching the tracks. She notes a couple of times where a group seems to join the main one again, also noting that there is always only one set of boots.
The trail leads to the side of a small hill under the shade of a massive eucalyptus tree.
Darri moves this way and that, looking a little confused at the tracks.
Perception
"Darri, did you say 'another group' has joined main group? How many you think in this group?
"What's wrong with the trail here? You stalk about like quoll that has lost sight of its gouldi."
Perception
Perception:
Darri doesn't answer Bralla straight away but continues to pace the clearing in front of the massive tree. "Darri can't explain, trail ends at tree but older trail heads off north?" she looks up into the tree "Darri can't see no dead men hanging in branches?"
With these words your attention is focused on the tree and Rev finds the engraved arrow mark
Knowledge (Jograffy)
"Riffton and empty lands that way. Group probably go to Riffton."
Knowledge Geography =
Rev points up in the tree, "This is going to sound strange, but do I see something up amongst the branches there?"
The Rev indicates a knot in the tree trunk which when felt feels like it would push in. Perhaps it the trigger for a secret door which would explain how the tracks end here.
"It leads to that knot there. I dare you to push it, Rev."
Rev gives Bralla a sideways glance, a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth. "I bet Ace's would do it." He then checks the load in his revolver, replacing his spent rounds.
