One last roll before the narrative resumes: somebody give me d6+1.
6 + 1 = 7

After taking a breath of outdoor air and a cigarette, following his acid bath, Doc recovers to 1 HP while the rest of the gang stand around admiring his chemical burns.

At this very moment, a patrol of seven Incorporation soldiers marches down the street on the north side of the house and begins opening fire at you!

Everyone test Luck to avoid being shot with repeater rifles!
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.

2 + 2 = 4

Not sure if I can use my Tough Nut ability again, but if I can then it’s a 19 and a 16.

Incidentally, I misunderstood the maths on Doc's HP, when you said -2 I thought it meant he'd taken 2 damage :shock:

If I'd realised I'd have used a laudanum in addition, which I'm hoping I can used retroactively now given our situation :shock:

You can use it whenever you're shot. Congratulations, you now have your seventeeth scar!

Of course; everyone should take a swig of laudanum with their smokes.

Gain another d4 HP.

Huzzah, that's a 4!

Now my luck roll, because I'm fully healed does that mean I'm not drunk as a result?

I rolled an 11, will leave it up to you whether I add a 3 for my luck or a 1 because it's my luck when drunk now.

You're not drunk, but either result is a success!

Since there's seven of them, can you three all make another Luck test each?

Cumflutter will just make one.

15 + 2 = 17

I suggest we try and make use of the bear - maybe run round to the kitchen door hoping the unionists follow, open it and shoot at the bear to piss it off, then keep running round the house.

16 on the dice this time, so assuming that's another success either way.

Doc is on board with CK's weaponised bear plan!

Aha! Roll a d6 and subtract 2.

(and if you roll a 6, re-roll and add the result to the previous roll)

"Might want to gulp down this elixir o' liquid luck," Doc will say, holding the bottle out to the newly ventilated Scrancher.
