Scene IV: Everything Will Burn!

[Wrathbone]

I kick it in.

[Sly Boots]

I'll stack up beside the door, revolvers in hand.

Jinx whining at my feet.

[Stormbringer]

Test GRIT, Cadaver Kid!

Now on account of you being drunk on laudanum, this is d20-1, rather than your usual +2 (not that you've ever experienced this as "usual" since you were drunk on whiskey last time).

[Stormbringer]

By the way, if you ever want to not be drunk, Doc still has a bottle of Doc's Anti-Tox, made from a mixture of poisoned chilli and lighter oil!

[Sly Boots]

By the way, if you ever want to not be drunk, Doc still has a bottle of Doc's Anti-Tox, made from a mixture of poisoned chilli and lighter oil!

Oh, I thought that was just to cure poisoned, it cures drunk as well?

"Fancy a nip afore we go in?" I'll ask the Kid, proffering the bottle.

[Stormbringer]

Hmmm. I suppose you're right...I had perhaps thought of it as a generic detox, including alcohol...but maybe it should just be for venoms and actual poisons?

[Animalmother]

"Rufus is sensitive to people. I'll send him sniffing with his powerful snout. You see them giggleberries of his start to twitch then somebodies home!"

[Stormbringer]

Rufus sniffs beneath the door and makes a grunting noise, his huge testicles twitching.

Someone's home, if what Cumflutter says is true.

[Animalmother]

"Dem happy sacks don't lie!"

[Wrathbone]

GRIT: 6 - 1

I try the door handle.

[Stormbringer]

You try kicking the door but it's stuck tight!

The handle turns but it's clearly locked.

Good thing you bought some lockpicks...

(it's a SLICK test to use them)

[Wrathbone]

17 + 1 = 18

[Sly Boots]

While this is happening, can I risk a glance through the nearest window to see if I can catch a glimpse of any occupants?

[Stormbringer]

Doc tries to peer through the window but it's so grimy you can't see a thing inside.

Cadaver Kid picks the lock and kicks the door open.

Roll me a 2d6 (total this time), CK!

[Wrathbone]

1 + 5 = 6
