Im just using some generic dice site for my rolls. Should all use the same one?
Eh, it doesn't bother me which site you use.

Parcheval will continue to cover the front door of the main house just in case anybody stirs whilst the others attentions are elsewhere.

Doc will approach cautiously and peer around the doorframe (assuming it's open, nudge it open with the toe of his boot if not)...
As you nudge the door, you hear a whooshing sound as of a heavy object moving through air.

Test SLICK, Doc! d20-1

So, here's your options:

1. You use your Ace to re-roll the slick test.

2. You lose your hat (perhaps temporarily)

3. You roll a Death check to see if you die or something else happens.

Just to clarify, I was nudging the door open with my boot while standing in the cover of the wall by the doorframe just to avoid anything like this lol, do I definitely get hit?

You said "and peer", so I was working on that basis...

Well, that was if the door was already open, which I don't think it was if I nudged it, but hey ho.

Doc likes to live dangerously.

"Oh shoot," he thinks, briefly, as the great gunslinger in the sky rolls a 3 on his d6.

Now that is living dangerously!

If you're sure, roll a d20!

Do you want to use your Ace to re-roll that?
