Re: Frontier Scum, Scene II: Horsehead Ranch
Side note, our weekly D&D is about to start, so myself, WB and Mantis probably won't be on much for the next few hours...

Re: Frontier Scum, Scene II: Horsehead Ranch
Now then, you have rolled a nat 20 which gives you another Ace, taking your Ace total to 3.
If you drink your 'Ace in a Bottle' that would put your Aces up to 4.
If you like, you can spend two of your Aces to re-roll those two 5s and hopefully get better results? Or you can just let yourself succumb to laughing gas, which will take you out of action for a few rounds.

Cumflutter drank my potion, but in any case I'll just drop to the ground and laugh hysterically for a while, as the rest of the posse does something about these dang clowns...Stormbringer wrote: ↑Thu May 29, 2025 6:01 pmNow then, you have rolled a nat 20 which gives you another Ace, taking your Ace total to 3.

Okay, you're gonna spend the next two combat rounds in a state of uncontrollable laughter.
Now, the other members of the gang may do something!

Assuming we can hear the commotion through the double doors, I'll try to dropkick them open and then fire with wild abandon into the room.

When you open the double doors you find yourself in a corridor, like so:

There are two doors on either side, and a set of double-doors at the north end!

If I've got this right, the double doors would head to the bar, so I'll do the same thing again.

Have we tried just knocking on one of the doors yet and see if anyone answers?

Re: Frontier Scum, Scene II: Horsehead Ranch
You burst into the bar and you see four clowns in there, having just thrown their little explosive bottles of laughing gas at Scotum through the window.
I assume you fire both your pistols at the nearest of them?
In which case, it's d4+d6. If you roll a 6, re-roll and add to the total.
Ah, but, also, if you're firing both pistols, you need to make a SLICK test to see if you hit (it's harder to aim two pistols).

Roach will be keeping pace with the Kid and following suit in unloading on the clowns.

Cumflutter will cover the hallway and start blasting if help needed.

If that hits, d4 = 4, d6 = 2

All right, 1d6 for you, or 2d6 if both barrels fired!
