Frontier Scum, Scene II: Horsehead Ranch

[Stormbringer]

9 - 1 = 8

I growl at him, "My penmanship was never worth a damn, but I'm gunna sign your own death certificate in that purdy face o'yours."

"Lessn' you wanna surrender, of course."

As you drunkenly jab at his face with the fountain pen, he deftly avoids the nib with a quick jerk of his head.


Now we're waiting to see what happens with Doc and Jinx, and Cumflutter and Roach both need to take their actions. Shooting at either of these Loudmouths will require a Slick test, for there's a risk of accidentally hitting your friends!

[Animalmother]

Cumflutter flips the empty case out and scrambles to reload. He steadies the rifle on the fence post and is ready to cover his companions if they need high velocity assistance.

I'll take a shot at the pen dodger.
Slick on a D20? 15+1

[Stormbringer]

I'll take a shot at the pen dodger.

All right!

Test SLICK (d20+1)

[Animalmother]

15+1

[Stormbringer]

And roll a d8!

[Animalmother]

Uhhhhh 7+1!

[Stormbringer]

Uhhhhh 7+1!

[Animalmother]

I got a roll of 7 +1 and I was excited!

[Stormbringer]

How did you get 7+1 when rolling a d8?

Do you mean you rolled 8?

[Animalmother]

It was 7. I still had the +1 thing on my mind from the D20 roll

[Stormbringer]

Ah, I see! Well, 7's a good roll!

BLAM!

That pen-dodgin' sucker's head opens up like a watermelon, spraying Cadaver Kid with blood, before collapsing to the ground dead.


That's three Loudmouths down, one to go, and that one is currently wrestlin' with Doc Scotum.

[Sly Boots]

On my next turn I'd like to shriek at Jinx, as I narrowly miss being gutted, "Darn it, boy, come git this sonofabitch!"

That's fine; you can also make an attack yourself! You're currently in toe-to-toe-hand-to-hand combat with a Loudmouth scumbag! You can try to punch him, kick him, headbutt him, hit him with your gun, shoot him with your gun, or whatever else you can think of.

Meanwhile, roll a d20 for Jinx to see if he can land a bite!

That's a 14 for Jinx, if it hits I think it's a d4? In which case it's 3.

If the guy is still alive after that I'll bop him with my revolver, if he's down I'll shoot at the next nearest one.

Edit: Oh, he's the last one. So if he goes down after Jinx's attack I'll continue putting the boot into his corpse

[Wrathbone]

That pen-dodgin' sucker's head opens up like a watermelon, spraying Cadaver Kid with blood, before collapsing to the ground dead.

I wipe the blood from my eyes and pocket the pen.

"Oh well. Guess a bullet's mightier than the pen. Least I didn't bring me a sword this time," I mutter to myself.

All right, so Jinx, following your command, leaps at this last Loudmouth and savagely tears out his throat!


All four Loudmouths that came out of the hut are dead. Feel free to loot their pockets!


Cornelius Cumflutter, you might want to test Luck to see if your hat survived...


Cadaver Kid, do you want to try some of Doc Scotum's Marvellous Home-Made Hangover Cure, or are you fine being drunk still? Either way...roll a d4 to regain some HP (you lost some earlier from being drunk).

[Wrathbone]

I'm good with being mildly drunk (as is the Cadaver Kid).

4 on the d4!
