From: Jack-of-Smiles has expanded his interests

Success

A shot strikes home!

You didn't get close enough to be sure it was him. But frankly anyone lurking out there[…] deserves to be shot. You find no trace of blood.[…] If it's possible for a cry of pain to be a little bit smug, then this one was. That sounds like Smiles all right.

Rare Success

A shot strikes home – and you caught sight of him!

You saw him! He's big, this time. Very big. And...was he grey? It's hard to be sure […]. But is Jack wearing a Clay Man?

You find no trace of blood – which would fit if he's Clay. But you heard a cry of pain. […] That sounds like Smiles all right.

Failure

A stone flung from the darkness!

It numbs your shoulder! Your shot goes wild! Whatever body he's wearing is strong. Damn him!
