Very well.

The Bean Bunch, with Miss Pitts in tow, leave the sheriff's office and head north again toward the mayor's mansion.

Somebody roll me 2d6 please!

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.

Alas, just as they leave the Sheriff's office, a flaming building collapses onto the street heading north, blocking the way with burning debris!

They'll have to take a different route!

As Palace is laid out like a grid, there are parallel streets leading to the mansion, so you can take an alternative route to the west, running past the blacksmith's shop, or east, running past the residential houses.

Maybe we can pilfer some tools from the blacksmiths along the way? Residential streets just means we might attract more hangers-on.

What do Cumflutter and the Cadaver Kid have to say? West via the blacksmith's workshop, or east past the residential properties?

Both routes will reconnect at the mayor's house eventually, avoiding the burning roadblock to the north.

The majority of the Bean Bunch want to swing by the blacksmith on the way to the manor, so that's how it's gonna be; sorry Cadaver Kid!

The posse, followed by Jinx the dog, Rufus the pig, and Miss Pitts, halted by the sudden roadblock of burning timbers, make a turn to the left and follow another street, which they know will take them around to the mayor's house by another route.


Somebody roll me 2d6 please (to see what chaos unfolds en route)

Great. And now a d4+1, if you please.

Just as the Bean Bunch turn a corner and head down the street toward the blacksmith, they encounter five finely-dressed gentlemen — suited up and wearing top hats — wandering through the chaos. They are sporting new-fangled fancy automatic pistols, popular with the wealthy in Covett City.

These must be Incorporation goons!

Somebody roll 2d6 to see how they react to you!
