Thanks for the tip. I will use that stun check next night when they board 
the train. They are immune to quite a lot. This has cause confusion among 
the posse. If enough wounds are caused, Maimed, to the head then I'll 
warrant a death. If not then they were stunned. If a magic attack hits the 
gizzards and warrants enough damage then death. So we had posse shooting 
them in the head, and some dying and some not. They still don't know why. On 
the plus side, the mad scientist, with bad eyesight, saw them heading back 
to the train. Threw two sticks of dynamite into the swarm. He didn't even 
bother to ask a description or check for posse members. There weren't any 
players but there were most of the town folks. Afterwards he asks me, "How 
many of them did I get?" "Monsters? none. Town%20folks, all, really nailed 
'em."
Also, that night, the huckster backlashed, rolled the total corruption and 
then rolled a contest of Spirit ... and cheated at the roll. I didn't say 
anything then, but man I'm going to nail him next session. Once he boards 
the train... "...like a marshal scorned." and all.
