Does anyone else feel like when we arrive at the mayor's house we're going to be greeted by steampunk Kenneth Branagh piloting an enormous mechanical spider?

18 - 1 = 17

Is there any sign of Will Smith prancing about?

Cumflutter and Doc should also roll for Rufus and Jinx, respectively!

Just a plain d20 with no modifiers.
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.

This is as 'wild' as we're gonna get here. I hate that film entirely.

18 for Rufus. I'm never going to get 2 rolls like that again.

With a loud BOOM! the artillery piece on this armoured steam-wagon blasts at your party.

Thankfully, everyone dives out of the way in time...

...everyone except Miss Pitts, who takes a direct hit. Very little of her remains in the crater that's left where she once stood.


Time to act, Bean team!

Doc will decide that the heavy armour plating suggests this may be one problem his bullets can't solve.

He'll aim to somehow swing up onto the vehicle, light his dynamite and chuck it into the chimney/exhaust.

A nice idea, Doc.

Roll me a Slick (d20) test to get on top of the vehicle while it's in motion.

Running up to the vehicle as it rolls up the street, Doc scrambles up the side onto the roof, lights up a stick of dynamite and drops it into the chimney stack.

Roll a d4+4, Doc, re-rolling if you get a 4 (and so on).
