Willow's meeting is at 7 and the town meeting isn't until 9ish. Two hours is more than enough time for you to travel to the doctor's office, the store and back - unless you get bushwhacked.
There will be another post soon though with more detail of Willow's meeting and anything else I need to add.

Subject: The role of Sam will be played by a tall dark and sinster man
Rocinante, Regina, Frisco – 7:00 am
Sam wanted to share the news of the money that Brigit had told him about, but there was all means of bad feelings to deal with first. He decided to keep the news to himself until after the crew meeting was over. Then, once Willow was on her way to her shepherd, Wolf was out the door with a fist full of platinum, list of parts in hand and humming a happy tune. The kid left shortly afterwards with the need to buy ammo and pick up the equipment he left at the doctor’s place. Ma was busy cleaning up so Sam shot a look to the captain that said “we need to talk.”
They met in the cockpit and Sam laid it out for the Captain. Brigit, the ship with the lost Independence cash, the mine and he even took Wyatt about the Ludlow. It was clear to the Captain that Sam was completely smitten with Brigit and believed her a whole lot more than he should. But the money sounded right tempting now – and he heard talk of money that was stolen during the war by a greedy folk or two. Sure wasn’t doing anyone any good buried deep in a mine.
While they were mulling over the situation, Sam noticed the wave in his folder. He brought it up, and had to go through the usual hoops that Tink built into her messages. No one in the verse could crypt a message like her, both verbal and somatic components were required and the Captain shot him an odd look while he waved his arms in the air and declared “I believe in fairies!”
Once he got to the message it was very short. “Eyes open and to the sky Peter. Hook is looking for your Wendy and looking quiet. Searching the Willow tree if you caught my meaning, so keep her safe, keep her hidden.”
The Captain shot a questioning look to Sam. Sam looked over at him. “That was from a friend who keeps an eye on the cortex for me. Someone is looking for Willow. Looking for her through the cortex but not alliance or anyone who wants to let it know they are searching.”
Emmett’s Bar, Beylix, Newhouse – 12:05 am
Dason wanted to be quick, not give this Bowman fella a chance to get to his guns. He pulled the hammer back while it was still in his pocket, planning to quickdraw and fire in the same motion. But the gorram guy was faster than Buddha’s little pony and had a gun in his hand in a blur. Dason panicked and tried to draw and fire but he pulls the trigger while it is in his pocket and the hammer fouls on the material of pocket.
Andrew saw the butt of the gun in the man’s hand as he attempted to draw on him. His reflexs took over and he double tapped two rounds at his assailant and then threw himself to the floor in case the mans lived and fired back.
But Dason didn’t have the chance. Both bullets hit him through the heart. He arched backwards and fell to floor, dead before his head him the ground. The gun, still trapped in his pocket.
“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!” Screamed the barmaid in hysterics. She looked at the dead man, back to Andrew and screamed again as she peeled out of the bar screaming murder at the top of her lungs.
“Gorram it! You shot him!” Darryl said in disbelief his own guns out and trained oon Andrew, “He didn’t even have a gun!”
“That was murder mister! Sheriff’s gonna hang you!” Doug added. He hadn’t drawn yet but his hand was on his gun
Bobbie shook his head, “Hold on boys. I heard a hammer cock. I’m sure of it” as he got up and walked over to the body. “It’s in his pocket! It’s a gorram peashooter, but he’s got a gun.”

Don't 3e bonuses start at 12? At 74 you could have +1 in everything. I'd hardly call that a restriction.

Topic: Pharaoh
Subject: moving on up
Webb climbs a tree to get a good look around. The first thing that strikes his eye is far way in the distance is a pyramid. It is a long ways away, probably a good three days journey, but it is so big that it is visible from this distance. He also notices that there are landmark scatterings of an ancient civilization between you and the pyramid. There are also some more palm trees in this easterly direction, which means water at least. Other than that, there are no signs of life nearby.
You set up the tents and put yourself and the animals out of the sun’s rays. Watches are established, as there is no such thing as being to cautious in these lands. The water from the well feels good on the back of your throat and the hangovers of the drugs or alcohol in your system seems to be chased away by the wet coolness.
As night falls and the oppressive heat begins to subside, you’re left with the question of which direction to go. The only signs of civilization is to the east, and it is an ancient civilization at best.
You begin to pack up the tents when then ground starts to shake. It begins slowly, like a small tremor but it starts to grow steadily. Suddenly, the ground near the horses bursts free and a strange worm-like creature emerges from the ground. Its huge maw is large enough to swallow a horse and that appears to be what it is looking for. The skin of the monster is almost a purple hue with a pale yellow underbelly. The ground on the other side of you breaks open to reveal the tail with a huge stinger.
OOC: Combat time. Please tell me what you plan to do, and what you are likely to do if the plan fails.

Topic: Continuing Where We Last Left Off
Subject: Much larger in real life
You reach the town when it is dark. There is little need to search for your enemy, as they are exactly where Char and Dapple saw them last, still discussing and arguing the merits of going to find women versus staying at their posts. They are well lit from their lofty position, with the energy crackling on the halberd illuminating them well. The intellectual conversation between them has broken down into “Uh huh!” and “Un uh!” back and forth.
Those of you who chose stealth for your approach have no difficulty as they are truly not paying attention and are so loud you could move a division in without them hearing. Kilgim says a quick prayer and casts a protection from Lightning bolts on Arien, as he will be an attraction to the electrical energy of that halberd in all his armour. Matthias tries to use a powerful charm on the ugly brother but it seems to be highly magic resistant.
(I assume Arien and Maximus will go first to draw the attack and present a better target to the archers, backstabbers and spellcaster)
As Arien and Maximus prepare to charge in against them, The White Haired one stops to look around and listen. He turns to his brother, “Hold…my brother. We are…being approached…by great…warriors.”
“What? Who dares approach us?”
“Unless I…am mistaken….and…I never…am. We are…about to face…Arien Thedell… and his…Succoring Six!”
“The famous Demon Slayers? Are you sure?”
“Aye…my brother. I have…all their…action figures…at home. If we…slay them,...there…will be much…glory and…fame…for us.”
“I wish to face Maximus the Mighty, whose blade can cut 100 demons in half with a single swing. Come, test your sword against me!” he shouts out to the darkness and leaps from the chimney top to the ground. When he lands, the force is so great that the dirt ripples away from him in a shockwave circle. High above, the flying one gestures dramatically with his halberd and electrical energy discharges from it in lightning bolts striking the ground and buildings around them.
OOC: Combat time. You all agreed on different approached but no one was specific. I also wanted to give you a chance to react to the brothers.

Subject: Those absence
If I do not hear from Robert by Sunday, I am going to have Matthias offer to use his Charm Monster on one of the beings in an attempt to force one to fight the other. If they are truly brothers, then fighting each other won't be against their nature.
If I have not heard from Raven by Sunday, Then Kilgim will cast a "Protection from Lightning Bolts" on Arien, since he is charging in and wearing all that armour. (That gives Arien 70 hp of electric absorption before he starts taking damage - I play the spell a bit differently)

Real Life, like network producers play havoc on our firefly game. I know Robert wants to post but his RL situation is crazy right now.
I am going to barrel this forward on the weekend if Robert doesn't post. Cat and I will work out the meeting. I will make the following assumptions with Sam:
He will tell the crew about the hidden loot and part of Brigit's story.
He will tell the Captain all the details including the hiring of Ludlow.
He will suggest that they meet with Brigit to go over the details of the treasure and the hows and whens.
That would be in the afternoon, after the town meeting. Once you have that meeting, you can have a group meeting about what is going to happen next.
Yes, there are a lot of meetings going on. I promise that you will be leaving soon with a paying haul but I can't rush through all that.

39. Spend 15 minutes looking for cat until coming to obvious conclusion.

Yes Bromern, you may triple your kukri specialization to master level. That will give you +3/+3 and also has the added bonus of any fumble that results in loss of weapon will be re-rolled. You can not move higher than master level in specialization.
Fighter (pure) can master as many weapons as they wish. Ranger/paladin can master one, but single specialize in as many as they wish. Non fighters may single specialize in a single weapon. (my rules, in case you are flipping through the books trying to find this).
