[DL] Are We Doing It Correctly?

[Seanchai <Seanchai@compuserve.com>]

   We're new to Deadlands and after a recent combat are a bit concerned. I
was the Marshal and had created an NPC which should not have had any
problem getting away from the PCs. He could become mist, etc.. But when the
PCs got in a fire fight with him, he was unable to even get an free action
because one of the PCs went first and wounded him badly using open-ended
rolls for damage. He was stunned and, using open-ended rolls for Wind, was
heavily Winded. It got to the point where he needed four Aces in a row in
order to have a hope of becoming unstunned. So the PCs killed him where he
lay. 
   Does that sound right? It seems quite...extreme.
