Picking a Target

"The plan is?" said Robert.

"We could shoot it," said Marcel.

"We could shoot it where, is my question."

"I think that neck pouch is like its firebox," said PJP. "And it doesn't look too stable on its feet --"

"Meaning the wings," said Robert. "Are what we could shoot."

All of them looked at me. PJP spun the wheel in his revolver.

"Lieutenant?" Marcel said.

Pinned

Pinned

"Aim for the Neck!"

Its fire pouch was a small target, but destroying it would cripple the dragon.

"Aim for the Wings!"

Even through the rain, I thought, the dragon's wings would be impossible to miss -- and without them, the dragon would be much easier to handle.


One Two Three

"Then we'll aim for the wings," PJP said. He looked at Robert, and Robert looked back. Something passed between them. Then PJP looked back at me.

"We'll fan out," PJP said, meaning him and Marcel. "Pull fire, make some noise."

"And I'll stay here and lay down cover fire," Robert said. "While you --"

"Take the shot," Marcel finished. Robert shot him a look. Marcel smiled blandly.

"That's my line," Robert said. "Which you're stepping on."

"On three," said PJP. Hands went in. "One two three --"

The Door

A Tarot card. It shows a door in a meadow and a man in front doing a handstand, one leg crossed over the other.


A Great Searing Fire

All of a sudden the rain receded in a great whooshing backdraft -- and there was the dragon splayed out against the sky, its wings fully extended, at least thirty feet tall and much longer across if you counted its wingspan, long serpentine neck extended, fire pouch filled and burbling, its jaw cracked wide and display a row of sharp curved teeth and a long slithering tongue and behind it all, at the back of its throat, visible even from a distance, was a small orange flame.

Opportunities

Draw cards from here to raise your Styles, meet your Allies, and risk your Antagonists.

Engulfed

There was no time to get under cover. The flame leaped out and engulfed us.


Pain

I felt my hair catch, and the shoulders of my jacket, and Robert and I tumbled on the wet ground, trying to beat the fire out. Pain registered like a distant siren; the side of my face was icy-hot in a way that told me I would suffer, later.

"Your cheek," Robert said. His own face was charred and smeared and raw.

"Suck it up," I told him -- "pain is just weakness leaving the body" -- and forced myself to crawl back to the barricade. He followed without reply.

The Door

Take the Shot!

The dragon darted in and out of the cold driving rain, its head bobbing snakelike and malicious, looking for an opportunity.

Opportunities

Draw cards from here to raise your Styles, meet your Allies, and risk your Antagonists.

I Fired at its Wings

Every time the dragon snaked forward, its wings sliced into view. I rested my revolver on flat cement, took my aim, and squeezed.

            2
            You need Aiming For 2 and Aiming For no more than 2 (you have 2)

            2
            Unlocked with Aiming For 2 - you have 2

            1
            Unlocked with Bullets in the Chamber 1 - you have 6


A Hit!

            2
            You need Aiming For 2 and Aiming For no more than 2 (you have 2)

            1

            1
            Unlocked with Bullets in the Chamber 1 - you have 5

The shot was muffled and hidden by the rain, but I could see it as a hit -- not on the dragon's wings, but somewhere on its trunk. The dragon thrashed -- in anger? in pain -- and drove me and Robert back behind the cool cement with a furious burst of fire.

The dragon darted in and out of the cold driving rain, its head bobbing snakelike and malicious, looking for an opportunity.

Draw cards from here to raise your Styles, meet your Allies, and risk your Antagonists.

I Fired at its Wings

Every time the dragon snaked forward, its wings sliced into view. I rested my revolver on flat cement, took my aim, and squeezed.


A Hit!

            2

The shot was muffled and hidden by the rain, but I could see it as a hit -- not on the dragon's wings, but somewhere on its trunk. The dragon thrashed -- in anger? in pain -- and drove me and Robert back behind the cool cement with a furious burst of fire.

"Get Under Cover!"

I grabbed Robert -- or did he grab me? -- and we made ourselves small behind the cement barrier.


Burning

A long stream of fire crashed against our cement barrier and flowed over our heads. Robert's hand was on my shoulder and mine was on his back. As the fire got hotter, we cringed.

When it let up, we found we were scorched but not burned. A few sad fires sputtered and hissed on the road where they'd caught on something organic. We brought up our revolvers and waited for the dragon to swing back into view.

"Get Under Cover!"

I grabbed Robert -- or did he grab me? -- and we made ourselves small behind the cement barrier.


Burning

A long stream of fire crashed against our cement barrier and flowed over our heads. Robert's hand was on my shoulder and mine was on his back. As the fire got hotter, we cringed.

When it let up, we found we were scorched but not burned. A few sad fires sputtered and hissed on the road where they'd caught on something organic. We brought up our revolvers and waited for the dragon to swing back into view.

The Door

Distractions from the Minutemen

Marcel and PJP had taken up positions on the interstate. They were maybe fifty feet apart and thirty feet away from me and Robert. Each had their revolvers out. Every few moments one would take a shot at the dragon. Its head would swivel sharply toward whoever was shooting, which bought me and Robert a breather -- to rest, and to line up shots.

Opportunities

Draw cards from here to raise your Styles, meet your Allies, and risk your Antagonists.

"Get It Off Us a Second!"

Robert popped his head over the barricade and yelled for Marcel and PJP to lay down some suppression fire.

"Lizbeth's hurt!" he shouted. "And I'm getting a little crispy! So any time with the distraction!"

This will reduce Lizbeth's Ailments!

            1
            You need Lizbeth's Ailments 1 (you have 3)

            1
            Unlocked with Lizbeth's Ailments 1 - you have 3

Suppression Fire

The suppression fire from Marcel and PJP was doing exactly what it was supposed to. I saw no reason to give other orders.


Slow and Steady

A few bullets plinked off the dragon's scales. It hissed at PJP, then at Marcel, then spewed a few lackluster bursts of fire at them.

Take the Shot!

The dragon darted in and out of the cold driving rain, its head bobbing snakelike and malicious, looking for an opportunity.

Opportunities

Draw cards from here to raise your Styles, meet your Allies, and risk your Antagonists.

Out of Bullets!

My gun's hammer came down on nothing. The click echoed even through the rain.

I Fired at its Wings

Every time the dragon snaked forward, its wings sliced into view. I rested my revolver on flat cement, took my aim, and squeezed.


Hunkered Down

I ducked down behind our cement barricade and fumbled in my jacket for spare bullets.

Dragonslaying in Dixie

Progress on fighting the dragon south of Lexington.

20th Century Penny

An old but well-polished US penny. Minted in 1960. Just the thing to throw into the fountain at St. Francis's.

The Door

A Tarot card. It shows a door in a meadow and a man in front doing a handstand, one leg crossed over the other.


Reload!

In my pocket were spare rounds. But in the crawl out of the burning truck they'd come dislodged. Some, I thought, might be on the ground beneath me. But it would take precious seconds to look, and longer to wipe them off and chamber them in.

Opportunities

Draw cards from here to raise your Styles, meet your Allies, and risk your Antagonists.

"Buy Me Some Space!"

I ducked behind the barricade and started rooting for bullets while Robert laid down some cover.

This will completely refresh your Bullets in the Chamber!

Not Yet

The bullets could wait.


Casings

Down among the highway grit my hands found casings, their metal blood-warm from the dragonfire. Luckily none had misfired. I popped the chamber on my revolver and started slotting them in with that special callous on my thumb.

"Almost done?" Robert said. "Because there's this dragon --"

"This is the time for you to sass me?" I asked, and elbowed him in the knee -- not hard enough to throw off his aim, but hard enough to let him know I wasn't playing.

"Nope," Robert said, and squeezed off a shot. All the playfulness had run out of his voice. Did he feel genuinely bad? or was this still backtalk, only more complicated? Looking back, I never asked.

There are six bullets left in your gun!

The dragon's head reared back behind the sheet of rain. For a moment, all was calm. Then an orange light began to glow behind the rain at dragon-height.

"Get Under Cover!"

I grabbed Robert -- or did he grab me? -- and we made ourselves small behind the cement barrier.


Burning

A long stream of fire crashed against our cement barrier and flowed over our heads. Robert's hand was on my shoulder and mine was on his back. As the fire got hotter, we cringed.

When it let up, we found we were scorched but not burned. A few sad fires sputtered and hissed on the road where they'd caught on something organic. We brought up our revolvers and waited for the dragon to swing back into view.
