Looking at the state of my health, I'll drink some laudanum.
Okay, roll me a d4!

I have it that you've emptied this canteen and used it as your mixing bottle for your concoctions...unless I'm misremembering some detail.
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 don't think I've drank any meds yet, as far as I can remember anyway.

I've thought all along I had another bottle handy for mixing in :(

Oh yeah...I remember now! Sorry! I'll get that amended.

Doc is quite happy to go back around the rear (west side) of the building, and begin prying a board from each of the windows looking into rooms they've not explored yet in the upper half of the house. Starting with the one just up from the chimney he climbed up previously.
Roll me a GRIT test (d20+1) to see if you can pry this open.

Try as you might, you can't get the boards off this window; they're nailed on tight!

Can I move along to the next window and try there?

That's put your HP from 5 to 6. That's not bad, considering your max is 7.

Certainly. Make another GRIT check!

I think Doc might be dealing with some clown/badger related PTSD

Roach is probably coming to his sense a little bit now the immediate rush of his high has worn off. He'll take up a position with the Cadaver Kid in preparation for storming the northern rooms.

Well...you're about to get a whole bunch more Clown-based PTSD.

You break open the third window, much more shoddily nailed shut than those other two, and find yourself staring into the same bar room you viewed earlier, only this time from a different angle.

You see four Rodeo-Clowns seated at the bar, helping themselves to some cheap booze.

Image

"Holy smokes, boys! It's another goddamn Loudmouth!"

"GET 'IM!"

I've rolled for initiative and the Clowns are goin' first.

Each of them hurls one of those explosive bottles right at Doc, right through the window! HOT DAMN!

Doc, you're gonna have to do some serious rollin' here.

Roll me 4xd20+4 to avoid being caught in the chemical explosions!

Then roll me 4xd20+1 to avoid succumbing to the laughing gas!

Ok, let's deal with this one at a time (all rolls are inclusive of modifier):

13, 22, 19, 12

Not sure if all the laughing gas rolls are still happening, but in any case:

Nat 20!, 5 -_-, 5 -_-, 19
