Big Po - Hungry Hungry Sumotori
Michelangelo - Friendly Capoeirista
Roberto King - Murderous Dagger Fighter
Dan da Ying - Helpful Eagle-Stylist
Sumo Struggle
Big Po made an All-Out (Double) Sweep, but missed both, and Tetsu Slammed into him, knocking Po out cold. The two tougher thugs outside continued to Slam at Michelangelo, but he managed to dodge, and all the other gangsters except for them and Tetsu were out cold on the floor of the Happy Rancher Saloon. Roberto gave into his Bloodlust and started stabbing the fallen, while Dan saw Po get knocked out and started moving towards the door.
Michelangelo kicked one of the thugs' feet, but failed to cripple it, Acrobatic Dodged one thug's grapple, and critically parried the other, sending him to the ground. Dan continued shuffling away, but heard Tetsu's heavy footfalls behind him as the sumotori charged in for a Slam. Michelangelo kicked at the prone thug's skull, but his foot only bounced off as the thug regained his knees, and the other dropped into a Wait.
Michelangelo broke away from the two thugs and jumped through one of the Happy Rancher's windows, while Dan, seeing Tetsu charging towards him, took an Evaluate. Tetsu stopped his charge, and took a Wait, and Michelangelo kept his distance. Dan moved in to kick at Tetsu, but he parried, and Tetsu used his Wait to grab him. Michelangelo kept his distance with an Evaluate, while Dan grappled the sumotori back.

GURPS Kung Fu Cowboys Session 1: Smackdown at the Happy Rancher Saloon
Big Po - Hungry Hungry Sumotori
Michelangelo - Friendly Capoeirista
Roberto King - Murderous Dagger Fighter
Dan da Ying - Helpful Eagle-Stylist
Four Horsemen
By boat, train, and horseback, four martial artists made their way to the town of Gila Gulch, each looking for something different. Roberto King sought his daughter, who had gone missing. Michelangelo searched for the deadly Foot Clan, murderers of his mentor and brothers. Big Po was looking for different cuisine to try. And Dan da Ying was trying to find and recover the legendary lemonade recipe that Dragon-Stylists had killed his best friend for.
Gila Gulch
The four PCs arrived the frontier town of Gila Gulch at high noon, all approaching from the South, Big Po looking ridiculous atop a struggling donkey. Po greeted the others warmly, and Michelangelo responded that he looked well-fed, while Roberto ignored them both. They started towards the saloon at the center of the three streets that made up the town, when a white man was thrown through the swinging doors and bounced off the dusty ground several times before coming to a stop.
A hulking Japanese man, almost as big as Po, exited the saloon, ripping the swinging doors from their hinges as he did, and threatened the man he'd just thrown into the street. He told the man on the ground, apparently the sheriff, to stop bothering him if he didn't want to get beaten even worse. The fat man turned and walked back into the Happy Rancher Saloon, from which upbeat piano music emanated faintly. Po got off of his donkey and, followed by Michelangelo, went to go help the sheriff to his feet.
The sheriff had taken a beating, but could still walk on his own. Po opined that he shouldn't go looking for trouble, but the sheriff replied that looking for trouble was part of the job. Po said that there were better jobs available, like being a chef! Michelangelo asked what the deal was with the big guy, and the sheriff said that "Tetsu" was in league with the Outlaw King, who lived on top of Hangman's Mesa to the north. Tetsu and his boys liked to come down into town and get drunk and generally make a mess of the town.
