If that doesn't outright kill him I get 2 D20 with my skill is it?
No, the 2d20 roll is a roll to hit, if you need to make a 'tough shot', e.g. he's galloping away at speed or something. As he's static and not very far away, no roll to hit is required; you can just roll straight for damage, which you already did.


One of the rear knights is hit with Cumflutter's rifle slug; the round punches a hole through his armour, but he's not dead.
My fire is more than can be made with forests,
My state more base than are the basest valleys;
I wish no evenings more to see, each evening;
Shamed, I hate myself in sight of mountains,
And stop mine ears, lest I grow mad with music.

I go in with both guns on the one I was talking to.

SLICK: 12 + 1 = 13

Slackarms damage: 2 + 3 = 5

Autopistol damage: 3 + 2 = 5

Probably won't get much time to respond today as I'm at a uni open day with my niece, so just assume that CK will keep shooting at the knights indefinitely.

I too will be out for most of today so I will resume this firefight when I return.
My fire is more than can be made with forests,
My state more base than are the basest valleys;
I wish no evenings more to see, each evening;
Shamed, I hate myself in sight of mountains,
And stop mine ears, lest I grow mad with music.

Congratulations, you have gained a new Skill!

Guns Akimbo! From now on, whenever you shoot two pistols, you roll 2d20 and pick the higher roll.

Roll me 4d4 for your damage roll.

I mean you could, but Doc fully intends to trade his bicycle for one of these fine steeds once their current owners have been dispatched...

Right, sorry for the long day.


After Cumflutter's opening shot from the long rifle, everyone else in the Bean Bunch draws their pistols and fires upon the knights.

All three of them are wounded in the storm of lead, but Scrancher kills the one who spoke to you with an auto-pistol. That one goes toppling off his horse, his heavy plate armour thudding as his bullet-riddled corpse hits the dirt.

The other two draw their revolvers and open fire on Doc and Cadaver Kid, as they are the most obvious targets.


Doc and CK, please make LUCK tests to avoid being hit!

Nat 20! :o

It's not on my character sheet, but I did down the luck elixir prior to the fight, so feel free to add +5 to that if required!

Congratulations, you've also gained a new skill: Artful Dodger!

When you're shot at, roll 2d20 and pick the higher roll! A pass means you dodged a bullet.
