Eirikur launches into action, inserting himself between the crate and the door. He swings down his blade, a flash of light arcing out of the open door, aimed at taking Cowpoke 2's head.
As the Cowpoke is struck and attempts to stumble away in pain, Eirikur lashes out again. "Grrrah!!!"
OOC: Attack of opportunity 19, damage 7
The first bullet, a wild shot, slams into the wooden frame of the freight door to Eirikur's left. It sends splintering wood spinning apart in all directions. The second strikes Eirikur dead center in the chest, a kill shot for sure. However, as the lead bullet bites into his flesh and Eirikur stumbles back a step with blood spraying before him, he stabilizes himself and the bullet is pushed from his chest, falling to his feet with a clatter. He looks down at the already closed wound, the only evidence of the damage is the blood without a source and a darkened bruise where once had been a hole. He then looks up at the cowpoke and the grimace from being shot turns once again to a grin.
All he can hear is the thumping of his own heartbeat. All that he can see is the Cowpoke bathed in crimson light. All he can smell is the scent of iron in his own blood. "Thank you... for not surrendering."
The image of Modoc's disappointed face flashes before his mind's eye and he hesitates for just a moment, deep shame replacing delighted murderous intent.
"Bullets cannot kill me. Surrender or flee to save your life."
Gaelan tries to snatch the bullet out of the air and whip it back at the ruffian!
Reduce damage by 17
If you reduce the damage to 0, you can catch the missile if it is small enough for you to hold in one hand and you have at least one hand free. If you catch a missile in this way, you can spend 1 ki point to make a ranged attack with the weapon or piece of ammunition you just caught, as part of the same reaction. You make this attack with proficiency, regardless of your weapon proficiencies, and the missile counts as a monk weapon for the attack, which has a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet.
Bullet flick Attack: 21 Damage: 6
DC 12 CON save vs 4 poison damage.

Cowpoke 1 is stunned to be hit by his own bullet and Cowpoke 2 now more injured yells "This ain't worth my life lets scram" and she dashes out of the freight car and into wilderness.
Cowpoke 1 does the same as he flees from the train.
In the Dining car Dr. Bailey eats a simple meal and Patton Riddle joins Dr. Bailey "I don't know if we met before, but I am Patton Riddle. What are you doing here sulking in the dining car. You should join us in the lounge car. I have an unopen bottle of wine we can share."
Dr. Bailey shakes his head "You know we have already met as I won second place at last year's symposium. My plan has backfired, and I am in no mood to hear you gloat Mr. Riddle"
"Me gloat, perish the thought" says Patton Riddle sarcastically. "Well, it's your own fault that you did not take into account the other tinkerers messing with the train."
"Yes, I miscalculated. Now that you have stroked your ego can you leave me be" says Dr. Bailey
"I think I am rather hungry myself." says Patton Riddle ignoring Dr. Bailey's last remark as he also orders a meal.
A man clutching a large case also enters the dining car. He sits at a table nearby and orders coffee. Between sips Modoc sees him staring at Dr. Bailey's table.
Modoc will be pulling his strong, silent bodyguard pose through the conversation with Riddle. Assuming the man with the case is staring at him, Modoc tries to make eye contact with the man.
Eirikur helps Gaelan reposition the crate in its original place, then retrieves his jacket, which had been swept off the crate by the Cowpokes. He scans the area to see if there was any disturbances of the other crates or items in the freight car. If anything had been looted or targeted, presumably belonging to the other scientists.
Eirikur launches into action, inserting himself between the crate and the door. He swings down his blade, a flash of light arcing out of the open door, aimed at taking Cowpoke 2's head.

Erikur draws blood but Cowpoke 2 is not dead yet.

Gaelan follows the miscreant, leaping out of the train!

Modoc, please roll insight check
Modoc's insight: 2
Modoc will be pulling his strong, silent bodyguard pose through the conversation with Riddle. Assuming the man with the case is staring at him, Modoc tries to make eye contact with the man.
Gaelan watches the cowpokes run away and says, "See? Just a little."
Hopefully he and Eirikur can get the crate back into the train and secured with no mis-hap.
