    And the two murderers ride off into the sunset. Pursued by an orange revenant.

    Gunsmoke, it ain’t.

    Well, a bit anticlimactic. Somehow I was expecting a lot more collateral damage, but I could wrong.

      What, everyone’s dead, the fort is in flames even though it’s mostly made of clay, things got melted; they just didn’t have as much to work with here. Lotsa snow, limited supply of trees & town by which I mean dry wood buildings and people.

      Although really there should be an ammo stash to go boom, shouldn’t there? Amiright? Of course, maybe that’s why they’re skedaddling so hard.

        Actually, if you go back a few pages, Vane detonated the magazine with the fort commander standing next to the gunpowder. The flaming debris of the magazine most likely set fire to the wooden framing of the fort, hay for the horses, lamp oil, cloth and wool objects and anything else that would burn. No idea how many troops survived, but those that did will be low on supplies, at night, in winter, probably a good distance from the nearest settlement. Just a typical weekday for the Hunter-Black family.

          Like the “survivors” at the end of John Carpenter’s The Thing.

    Fire effects on a horse that doesn’t actually burn the riders–what loveliness! And I am with you two, i expected more drama before the ride out but maybe Vane will provide that.

      Thanks Karyl, maybe I’m a bit premature regarding the climax of this segment of the story. We still don’t know what Vane is doing.

    Awww, going back to get his special pocket watch from his special gal, how romantic. Aside from the brutal murdering of course…
