Re: [HOE] "Apocalypse Now" Scenario, stones weakness

[Brother Bones <brbones1@yahoo.com>]

I would think Stone has a backup of some sort (maybe
stone is less of a person and more of a curse) whoever
does manage to "kill" him becomes him-do not pass go
do not collect 200 dollars. basically your character
no longer exists and Stone lives on. Of course it
could be made into a opposed spirit test and if you
win he stays dormant (with dominion testslike with
harrowed) once you do lose Stone is back.
It would be a messed up scenario - You and your posse
faces off with Stone, Stone drops member A with a
clean heart shot, member C gets a well aimed shot to
Stones head and he hits the ground hard. Member C
calmly goes over to stones body, picks up his guns,
puts on stones hat, gets a weird grin and before they
realize whats happened they are dead. Stone lives on
(so to speak). - just an amusing thought (not that it
is founded in any way). :)

Have fun,

Brother Bones
