The Quick and the Dead

The Fall of the House of VonDraken

Written by Mr. K

Lights:

Tasha enters a Swordsmen dueling contest to get revenge on a demon (Stephan Schneider) in a town called Redemption.

Camera:

The scene is set in a small town called Redemption. The street is full of people on both sides of the street. They are watching the Arch Duke dueling it out with a single lone human. They stand about 50’ apart with only single handgun, panzer hand, and a zeihander. Both are dressed in typical Drexel Armor. They face off against each other.

Action:

Tasha has a vision: Stepahn Schneider and Alexander VonDraken have faced off against each in a duel to the death. Alexander has taken a few of his elite men to enter the dueling contest in Stephan’s little vacation town, called Redemption. There are enough Demon Henchmen, Drexel Swordsmen, and Rogue Swordsmen for each of the players. Each player will have a duel to the death with their opening scene character.

• Dueling Rules, notes: Each character has to make a (Perception + Notice) roll, each success level gains one piece of information {Dexterity, Strength, Life Points, Getting Medieval, Drama Points, Fast Reaction Time, and/or Quick Draw}. Then the character with lowest Initiative (Dexterity + Fast Reaction Time + Quick Draw) announces first {Focus -2/attack it stacks with opponent or Strike +2/attack}, followed by their opponent. This bidding process continues until one side can not call anymore Focuses (max focus equals Void [Void = (All Attributes/6)] in Levels}. Then the opponent that called Strike goes last.

Tasha goes to Redemption to call out Stephan Schneider. She will need help and asks for help from her friends she will even teach them the special Fast Draw Skill. When they get to Redemption they have to enter the contest. Stephan makes the rules {Nobody can interfere in a duel, the duels are fought to first blood, and you can not refuse a duel}. The contestants are drawn randomly, but Stephan can contest any duel himself.
