Scene V: The Mayor's House

[Sly Boots]

Sorry busy day here. What's my Luck roll again?

+3, it looks like.

On top of the usual d20 dice roll...

[Mantis]

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

Scrancher nervously eyes up the absolute state of both the Cadaver Kid and the Doc.

"This has been tested on other humans without adverse side effects, I trust?"

Reluctantly he takes the elixir.

Reluctantly he takes the elixir.

This conversation is, of course, all happening under intense gunfire. ¬_¬

The healthy combination of laudanum and latrine-waste delivers a +2 Luck bonus to Scrancher's next roll!

[Sly Boots]

"As if a medical professional of my standing would proffer anything that the effects of which had not been rigorously tested!" Doc harrumphs, wisely choosing not to disclose the ingredients used in its creation.

[Animalmother]

4+3...shit

[Stormbringer]

4+3...shit

Roll me a d6-1!

(if you roll a 6, roll again and add the number onto the 6, and so on)

[Animalmother]

4-1..more shit

[Stormbringer]

All right, Cumflutter, time to lose your hat or make a Death Check!

[Animalmother]

Goodbye hat!

[Stormbringer]

A repeater-rifle slug whizzes past and knocks Cumflutter's hat right off his head!


Okay, time for the Bean Bunch to make their moves!


Everyone state what you're gonna do. To recap: you're on the north-side of the house, standing near the smashed bay windows of the drawing-room. Just to the east of you is the back door to the kitchen (a bear is rummaging about inside). Around the eastern side of the house is the conservatory (but you can't yet see this from your position).

To the north of you, in the street behind the house, a patrol of seven Incorporation soldiers are firing rifles at you.

[Sly Boots]

I like CK's plan or us fleeing eastwards, kick open the kitchen door to alert the bear and seeing if we can somehow enrage it enough to charge at the soldiers, while we continue round towards the conservatory.

[Stormbringer]

So, who does what?

Who's gonna go get the bear, while the others run east? Does everyone bar one run east, or will some return fire?

[Sly Boots]

Kitchen is on the way east, isn't it? I'm picturing we all move as a group and do the bear thing en route

[Stormbringer]

Yeah, the kitchen door is on the north wall, just east of where you are.

Is everyone going inside the kitchen, or just one person?

[Sly Boots]

Lol I don't think any of us want to actually enter, can't we just kick the door open as we go past?
