[DL] Everybody was kung-fu fighting...

["Tim Denee" <gilkison@ihug.co.nz>]

Ok, I've recently downloaded the 'Kung-Fu Fighting' mp3, so I'm in the mood
for a bit o' that in my adventure. Unfortunately, I haven't got the Great
Maze box, I can't afford it, even if I could afford it I'd be better off
getting H&H, F&B, and so forth. But, I still want to get some fu-fighting
going on, thus I devised the following; a relic and a customized bad-ass for
your approval.

S... Well, not really, but I've never been able to do that, and I wanted to
give it a try.


Dragons

The Dragons are hand-built fire-arms, works of art commissioned by Kang
himself. There are six in total, and each is a dazzling tool of death. They
have solid ivory handles, silver plating along the barrel, and an inlaid
diamond dragon coiling around the entire pistol, picked out with gold leaf.
Power: Dragons count as peacemakers for all intents and purposes. However,
they are perfectly balanced and crafted, feeling like wind in the user's
hand, and as such the bearer may add +2 to all quick-draw, speed-load,
shootin', and fannin' rolls.
Taint: Anyone with a Dragon on their person gains a mild hankerin' for opium
and loyalty to Kang and his minions, both of which go away if the gun is
removed from the hero for at least 24 hours. Note that while the hero is
loyal to Kang, he is not a zombie bound to Kang's will; he can still defy
Kang to a certain degree. Kang usually gives these guns to white allies who
are of questionable trust. Should someone receive a gun who was not meant
to, they may keep it as normal, but all the Dragons are linked to Kang and
simply by concentrating he can work out their general location. No-one who
steals one of these relics will be around much longer...

Jin-Wei, The Black Ice

This lethal martial-artist is a restless nomad, constantly moving around the
weird west, sowing terror and confusion where-ever he goes. He is a lithe
chinese fellow with large eyes and tiny black pupils, and a single plait of
snow-white hair. He almost never talks except to deliver ultimatums, though
when he does his voice is quiet and dry, a frosty bite which stops most
people in their tracks.
     Jin-Wei was originally a student of the greatest martial-arts teachers
in China, but despite this he failed to achieve anything of note. Depressed
and bitter, he took the voyage to America to try and make a name for himself
there. He arrived on July 3'rd, 1863; the day of his 28'th birthday. He had
only one wish that day; to achieve the kung-fu mastery he had always wanted,
and release his anger on the rest of the Chinese community in America. The
Manitou listened. He believes his newly found power is actual Ch'i, but is
in fact no better than any other black magic. His war of retribution has
caused him to gain many enemies, including the all-powerful Kang, but
luckily for him he has managed to slaughter any pursuers so far.

Description: See above.

Black Magic Trappings:
Bolts o' doom: These take the form of huge blasts of energy (NB: like on
'Dragonball Z')
Cloak o' evil: When cast, this causes several illusionary copies of Jin to
appear beside him, making it difficult to tell which to shoot at.
Ghostly Servant: When cast, Jin's hand and the object to be shifted both
glow with an unearthly white light, and with a simple wave of his hand he
send the target flying.
Stun: He simply has to poke the victim and they fly across the room and land
in a paralyzed heap, (NB: like the 'one inch punch')
Zombie: Several dusty figures will burst out of the ground and take on
fighting stances. They are the spirits of long-dead chinese warriors from
the ages who fled the field of battle or double-crossed their comrades. (NB:
like during 'Mortal Kombat' when the sorcerer summons the dead warriors from
the man-holes in the floor)
