 All right, one WITS roll for the balloon/tent project is sufficient. Doc instructs the rest of the Bunch on how to turn a balloon into a portable tent.

Bluth and Stacob have nothing in their saddle-bags, so they volunteer to transport the tent between them (you've been volunteered ¬_¬)

I'll use an ace, feels like finding food might be quite important... ¬_¬

That's a 13 on the die, so 12 for Wits.

That's a 4 on the d8, so 7 total.

Oh, you'll find food either way...but passing the test saves you additional trouble.

Roll me a d6 now, to see what game you and Jinx find...
That's a 2 on the d6.
While you and Jinx are out hunting, you find...

A CROCODILE!

It hasn't seen you yet; you have the element of surprise. If you were to successfully kill it, you would get nine days' worth of food out of it.
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.

All right. Choose your weapon and roll for damage!

I'll fire both revolvers, so Slick roll is 13.

If that hits, damage dice were 7 and 3.

If it's still breathing, I'll instruct Jinx to attack also.

The croc is injured and you've certainly attracted its attention...

Make a GRIT test for Jinx!

He doesn't! Roll a d4 for his teeth!

4!
Jinx, deftly evading the croc's terrible jaws, takes a bite out of the scaley beast — his sharp teeth piercing through even the croc's natural armour. The beast is still alive, though.

Doc, you may attack again!


MEANWHILE...

...somewhere else in the general vicinity, Scrancher also stumbles upon another crocodile. But, unfortunately for him...he literally stumbles upon it.

Roll GRIT, Scrancher, or become croc-food!

As he stalks through the reeds of the marsh, his rifle at the ready, he hears the commotion from some ways away and thinks to himself.

Heh heh, sounds like Doc found a croc....ahyeheeaaaaaaa Jesus what in tarnation is that!?

Scrancher narrowly escapes from the jaws of the beast!

Now you may attack, Scrancher!

I've got my rifle out and my pistols holstered, so point blank with the rifle it is!

10+2
