In the Throat

It was nearing evening when the posse stumbled into the saloon. They were already tired from their train ride and needed to rest up for the ride tomorrow as they hunted their latest bounty, a traveling snake oil salesman that peddled more poisons than placebos.

The town was a decent size for one that existed solely for the railroad. The saloon was busy. A saloon gal walked around offering drinks, the pianist played a popular tune, and a pair of ladies of the night hung around in the far back corner. A couple of railway workers sat at the bar. A large group of cowboys fresh from the road took up several tables off to the side.

Silas took it all in as he headed straight for the barkeep. “Evenin’, I’m gonna need two rooms for the night.” He gestured behind him, “One for the ladies and another for the old man, boy, and I.”

The bartender set down the glass he was cleaning, “Sure thing, sir, it’ll be two dollars for each room. Are you just staying for tonight?”

“That’s right, we’ll be heading out first thing in the morning,” answered Silas. He leaned on the bar as the bartender grabbed two keys from the board behind him. Silas handed the man the bills and took the keys with a nod. “Much obliged.”

Silas returned to the group who had taken up a table not far from the bar and tossed Garnet the other key. “We’re all set. How about some drinks?”

As Silas sat down, one of the cowboys behind him stood up on his chair.

“To Rex Randall!” yelled the young man, holding his drink high.

The rest of the group raised their glasses. “To Rex Randall!”

Garnet leaned towards her posse, “Did he just say what I think he said?”

Edie nodded, “I think he did.”

Delacy looked between the women with wide eyes.

Silas furrowed his eyebrows. “What’s the matter with that?”

Nate waved over one of the young men as he was walking away from the bar with a tray covered with glasses of whiskey. “Pardon me, did he say Rex Randall?”

“‘Course!” The young man had clearly already had a few drinks. He held out the serving tray. “And tonight we drink to him. Here, take a drink, all of you, even you kid.” He handed a glass to Edie and Garnet with a wink. Silas, Nate, and Delacy took their own. Delacy grimaced.

“Well, you gentlemen sure do know how to treat a lady,” laughed Edie politely.

Silas raised his drink and took a swig. “What’s the occasion?” he asked.

The young man in a tan shirt and bold belt buckle leaned forward. “You do know who Rex Randall is, right?”

“I-“ began Delacy. Edie grabbed his shoulder quickly.

“Of course. He’s a famous star,” said Edie with a saccharine smile. “I do so enjoy his performances.”

Silas nodded, “I’ve listened to his shows for ages.” He turned to face his posse, “I’ve always wanted to meet Rex Randall. I heard his radio show almost daily back at my old sheriff’s office.”

Edie gave him an awkward smile. “I didn’t realize you were such a fan, Silas.”

“Well listen to this.” The man leaned down further. “Rex Randall was killed in a duel.”

“What? No!” said Silas, shocked.

“I can’t believe it either,” said Garnet tightly, looking pointedly at Delacy.

“Yeah! He went to this- this shithole town and he was gonna kill this bastard, whatever the fuck his name was, that gets off on killing folk.” The man stumbled a bit. He held onto the back of Edie’s chair to keep himself standing. “The man was fucked up. There was a tour- tourn- uh, a contest. People killed each other just to have a chance to kill him.”

“And Rex was killed dueling this man?” asked Silas, enthralled by the story. From the corner of his eye, he saw Garnet and Edie exchange looks. Nate whispered something to Delacy.

“No, he actually gets killed by some kid! He walks into town with his grandpa and aunt or whatever and enters the contest. Then the kid just walks up and whips out his gun and shoots Rex dead!” The man stepped backwards and tossed his arms up for emphasis. The remaining whiskey glasses on the plate were knocked over. A puddle of whiskey was at his feet.

“Goddammit,” he muttered at the mess. The cowboy turned away from the posse and headed back to the bar.

Silas watched the cowboy stumble away. Something seemed off.

“So,” Silas took another sip and gestured toward the rest of his group with the glass, “Any of you know anything about that?”

“About what?” Asked Delacy a little too quickly.

Silas gave the boy a stern look. “About a kid shooting Rex Randall?”

Delacy looks at Garnet, Nate, and Edie before looking back at Silas. In a quiet voice, he said, “Nate and I entered a quick draw contest in Dead Man’s Worth to kill Bellows. I faced Rex in the first round.” Delacy leaned towards Silas and whispered proudly, “I shot him in the throat.”

Silas dragged his hand over his face and groaned. “At least it was justified this time.” Silas leaned on his elbows, “Delacy, don’t go repeating that. This crowd’s not gonna be happy if someone overhears you.”

Delacy nodded. “Got it, Silas.”

Silas tossed back another mouthful of whiskey. The crowd began singing a mourning song in memory of Rex.

“I think it might be time for us all to call it a night,” said Garnet, nodding towards the crowd. The other four agreed and made their way to the upstairs lodging.

In the guys’ room, Silas and Delacy each took one of the twin beds. Nate was more than willing to lay on the floor. He, being technically a corpse, didn’t get back pain.

Silas was almost asleep when Delacy whispered, “Silas?”

“Yeah, kid?”

“Are you mad at me?”

Silas cracked open an eye, “What for?”

He heard Delacy fidget in his bed. “For, you know, killing Rex Randall.”

Silas sat up a little and leaned on his left arm, facing Delacy despite the darkness.

“It was you or him, right?”

“Huh?”

“The duel,” Silas specified, “Rex was shooting to kill, wasn’t he?”

Delacy nodded, “Yeah.”

“Then you did what you needed to do. Randall knew what he signed up for when he entered the contest. Only one of you was walking away and, I will say, I’m glad it was you.”

Delacy was quiet for a moment. “You mean that, Silas?”

“I do, Delacy. You’re a mighty fine marksman with your heart in the right place, usually. You can be a pain and you should think more before you act, but I’m glad to have you around. Randall, as much as I liked his shows, was just some celebrity. ‘Sides, just think of how devastated Nate would be if he survived and you didn’t.”

“I don’t even want to imagine it,” came Nate’s gravelly voice from the floor next to him.

Silas jumped a little. “God, I forgot you don’t sleep anymore.”

Delacy muffled his laugh. Silas smiled.

“So no, I’m not mad at you.” He laid back down. “Night, Delacy.”

“Good night, Silas.”

Deadlands Finale Meta

putting this under a cut because of spoilers for the whole finale episode, but also because i chronically ramble. my Thoughts about the parallels andy made in this episode, the choices certain players made, and the parts that didn't quite add up properly to me

let's start with one of the fun bits: why didn't any of the rings break when their original wielders were killed? especially the ones where the people who would eventually do the tests (say, nate for death) were there? what changed compared to the first time?

it could just be the deadlands, or having all the rings together in victoria's collection, but i think it's the way each horseman was killed. by design of andy as the marshall, each horseman was killed by their own weapon (metaphorically speaking, mostly)

what do i mean by this? well.

War/Benjamin Bellows

bellows' main obsession as a war avatar is with duelling and slaughtering his enemies. who shoot him in the end? nate, the man he killed in a duel, and delacey, the person who duelled through a tournament to get to him. this is also the most obvious point of andy forcing their hand into playing on the horseman's terms - he set it up so they had to compete in the tournament to kill him

Pestilence/Daisy DuCrow

her pestilence domain is shown in a couple ways, but the most important for us are the hole in her skull and her disease transfer machine. the hole, though it lets her poison bobby, also lets silas shoot her. and the machine is used on her client, but also on daisy herself after she dies in order to revive bobby. her death might be by a bullet, but the situation around it is very ironic in nature

Death/M. T. Boudreaux

the most obvious on our list! as a hangin' judge, he hosts show trials and unfairly sentences people to hang. he's also undead. after a show trial where the gang turns the crowd against him, he fails to kill a harrowed and is hung by the posse. hangin' judges literally have to be killed ironically in order to die

Famine/H. Unger

unger's hunger-causing food literally turns people into the cannibalistic faminite monsters, and what stops her in the end? bison billie chewing off her arm after being infected by one of the faminites. she quite literally creates the thing that kills her, and her famine domain is very closely tied to that downfall - if she hadn't been doing it, she would have lived

Conquest/Victoria

obviously they don't attack her before breaking the other rings, but it's worth briefly noting here that the bounty hunters do very much follow her domain, by killing the other horseman and stealing their power - they're really just conquering the domains of every other horseman for themselves

... moving on

ok! now that's out of the way, we get to the actually interesting bit: what's changed the second time? if the posse didn't defy the domains correctly the first time, how did they definitively do it in the finale? here's how:

Garnet vs Famine

the garnet/famine connection is overall a bit weird to me, but she does prove in her section that she can exist without magic - the "something more" that victoria says she's hungry for - by defeating the ghoul on her own. her leaving the deadlands at the end of the episode also arguably shows this, as she's more powerful there than on earth but leaves nonetheless. not much of a betrayal of "famine" in unger's sense but certainly of how victoria describes her

Nate vs Death

in terms of this.... theory? meta? nate is perhaps one of the less strong points, but his scene with delacey does show him not only overcoming the darker parts of his harrowed nature but also actively threatening to shoot himself. compared to the hangin' judge's obsession with his own righteousness and immortality, it certainly feels like nate is breaking victoria's description of him "overcoming death". he might be undead, but nate very much sees the value of mortal things like a life (and money)

Edie vs Pestilence

my favourite segment of the finale! edie is tied to pestilence by victoria due to her grief, which is like a festering disease or infection. and her segment definitely reflects her growing past that - edie being stuck in a memory, trying to protect a brother who already died, literally hurts both edie and the people around her (garnet). it's only when she puts eddie to rest and looks past that "pestilence" of grief that she can go back to helping the people who matter _now_

Delacey vs Conquest

this is a really nice character moment from delacey, and unlike the others, it seems to be almost entirely on the player rather than andy as the marshall. first, note that delacey's linked to conquest because of his violent & competitive streak, which is especially obvious in dead man's worth. he tries to pull his gun on victoria at the beginning of the episode, and he's previously joked about trying to gain supernatural powers like those nate/garnet possess

but when faced with opportunities for power (victoria's offer) and violence (nate attacking him, harmless victoria), delacey doesn't take them. he's the one who wants to kill victoria, he sits down and lets nate slash his chest open, and he reluctantly lets victoria live even though he desperately wants to see her dead. he denies again and again the option of violent conquest like the kind she encourages.

Re: Silas

... and then there's Silas vs War. or rather, there isn't. because as far as i'm concerned silas doesn't ever get that moment. when face-to-face with bellows (which i also find weird), silas accepts bellows' terms and plays by his rules. they duel, just like delacey & bellows did the first time, and silas shoots his neck (familiar, again), and then he angrily kicks bellows into the wall. there's no denial of that anger victoria saw in silas, no denial of bellows and his methods

compared to his big damn hero moment against boudreaux with his lawman's gun, this just felt weird. and that could just be me overthinking, or the dick bit getting in the way of roleplay (not the first time), or andy not finding another way for silas to "face" war in the finale, but what if it's something else?

silas is initially very quiet in the discussion about victoria's proposal (alongside garnet, who seems more interested in getting the rings' powers than anyone else), and happily admits to her appraisal of him. bellows is also the only one of the horseman who wasn't obviously supernatural in his first appearance, and the only one who comes back physically "alive" in the finale (because he's in service to victoria). through this lens, it feels like there's something very clearly different about silas and bellows than about the other members of the crew.

maybe that's on purpose. maybe silas only really stopped benjamin bellows, and not the horseman of war. would certainly be cool if silas Changed next season :)

(or maybe it's just a writing choice i don't like and i'm going to write an alternate timeline fic about it <3 you never know)

tldr;

the horseman can only be beaten properly when the "new horseman" proves victoria wrong, but silas didn't, and wouldn't it be nice if that paid off somehow

Deadlands ep2 spoilers

So most people around here seem confident that Johnny isn't gone for good, pointing out game mechanics and production motivations, but I was asking myself: is it really best if Nate comes back as harrowed? I obviously wouldn't want Johnny leaving the group, but what about rerolling? I think the plot could be more interesting and mature if the rest of the gang had to deal with grief and revenge instead of carrying on as is, only that now one of them is basically a half-zombie (as I understood the mechanics).

Also this way, we could have a first oxventure reroll without sacrificing a character we already spent countless hours with (absolutely no shade on the quality of nate!! - just about quantity).
