Ask the Oracle
Are Black Hawk and his men in plain sight? 50/50
60 = Yes
Black Hawk and his men are still setting up the explosives

“It’s done, mister!” thundered Sheriff Hayes.

We rode our horses swiftly down the slope toward the outlaws.

Immediately the outlaws drew on us, but we already had our irons drawn.

Battle
Edge 3 + Action 2 = 5
Challenge 3 & 6 = Weak Hit
Succeed, but at a cost; Pay the Price

Pay the Price
89 = It wastes resources
The resource lost is time, as the train approaches!

Bullets flew across the short distance in a chaotic dance of smoke, fire, and dust.

With the sun and wind at our backs, we were able to secure the advantage over the group of outlaws.

But as the final cracks of gunfire echoed out across the lonely desert plain, only three stood on our side, and one on theirs.

Those remaining on the side of the law knew that Black Hawk was more valuable alive than dead.

So though he lay bleeding from several fresh wounds to his extremities, his life would be preserved, so that he may face justice back in Sagebrush.

But the pile of dynamite and gunpowder still lay in a massive heap as the telltale chug of a steam engine rounded the corner.
