"There are perfectly good caves in the middle of nice, dry land!

Felicity smiles, seeing what Irene is doinng

or trying to do

"We should look for caves."

and slowly, the rain winds down... the cantrip has worked to banish the redflag warninggs

"Maybe there's treasure here."

Ashlee says "There are rumors of abandoned gold mines in Texas, and places highwaymen stocked their illgotten goods"

"ooo. Gangsters!"

"more like highway bandits but maybe ganstars..." Ashlee ponders "You dirty rats, that kind of thing"

"Like... bad cowboys, like in the old movies? Redfang was watching them. They wear black hats."

"Oh yeah, bandits and ruffians and criminals" She nods "You needed a good sherif, or the mysterious stranger passing through to deal iwth them"

"Ashlee would be my vote for Sheriff. She's always fair."

"But tough enough to deal with bad guys, too."

Cathir sulks jus a bit

Ashlee shakes her head "Girls in the westerns, the heroines, are always pretty"

"Caitir would be the town lawyer."

"Nuh-uh!"

Cathir rallies "Maybe judge?"

hopeful

"In that case, be a hero. Heros can have scars, and eye patches, and all sorts of cool things. I'd rather be one of THOSE."

"You could be like Clint Eastwood, if you squint. Like... this, yeah? And go 'we don't like trouble in our town, stranger' and maybe you need a star..."

"No, you gotta say PARDNER."

"PARDNER!" Big grin.

"Well.." Ashlee ponders "I guess some of the cowboys do have scars" She says "And John Wayne said 'Neighbor' a lot in one movie"

Grete may have just outed herself as a fan of old timey westerns...

"I wanna slide the glasses down the bar and make folks catch'em. Sasparilla up!"

"I don't actually know what sassaprilla is..."

"I think it's like... root beer?" Felcity considers

It's insidious!

"And I can be the grizzled old miner that found a fortune before getting shot in the gut by the bad guys, but I manage to drag myself in to the sheriff and tell the tale before DRAMATIC EXPIRATION!" She sticks out her tongue.

"The silver.. is in... the abandoned mine shaaaa..... Bleaaaauggghh..."

Giggles!

"I do like root beer..."

It's insidious!

laughter breaks out at the 'death scene', Cathir says "THAT was GOOD!"

"Maybe you don't die, but you get captured by bad guys and they want to make you sign the deed?" Ashlee says, she too has seen westerns and seems delighted to have someonen who likes them evenn more "i wonder if Stu would mind being the bad guy?"

"Yeah, okay, so if Caitir is the judge... maybe Felicity is the lawyer?"

"STU! CAN YOU WEAR A BLACK HAT AND TWIRL A MOUSTACHE?"

Stu comes out "I have the biggest mustache in Texas" he nods

Felicty ponders this "I could I guess , or I could be the gun for hire and you donn't know who I will work for?" She likes that idea

"Ooo... maybe a grey hat?"

Cathir rolls her eyes "Eiluned"

"I won't NEVER sign over the deed!"

"wmahahmaha.... you will... after my boys 'explain it to you'" And Stu steeples his fingers

She Sets her jaw and hands on hips. "Just try me!"

"BOys I..." Stu looks aroud "I don't have many boys"

"I can do it!" She hops over to Stu's side.

"You better do eet!" Hock, spit.

"or else I'll have my boy girl ruff you up by messing up your hair, or maybe feed you to the geese" Stu adds "Horrible way to die, by goose"

"Not the geese!"
