Assuming you intend to ride him down, why don't you test SLICK to see if you pull it off, CK?

CK never learned to ride a bike and has suddenly discovered he may need a moment to get a feel for it.

Gripping his handlebars furiously with one hand, Doc will fire a revolver at the other.

Close enough for an auto-hit?
Nah, shooting from a bicycle is definitely gonna require a Slick check, Doc!

You ride towards the man but he steps out of the way, readying his repeater rifle in the process!

Scrancher will do a rolling dismount off his bike as he pulls his auto pistols out and lets loose with them from a crouching position.

This action sounds like it needs a Slick check...

You have an Ace if you'd like to spend it to try that again?

Sounds like a plan.

I rolled an 8 then a 4 on my d8.

Doc smoothly rides past one of the soldiers and blows his head off with a heavy revolver.

You almost make it, but you don't.

You try to doing a rolling dismount but your leg gets caught on the cross-bar and you fall off the bike onto the ground. Thankfully, you're not hurt.


There's still one soldier left. It's up to Cumflutter to take him out!

Since you're firing from your bicycle, though, you need to check Slick first! (d20+2)

Cumflutter cycles past the second soldier and shoots him in the chest, sending him sprawling to the dirt, dead.

With that, Scrancher picks himself up, dusts himself down, remounts his bicycle and the Bean Bunch are off again, riding towards the mayor's house.
