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

10+2


Roll a d8 for the rifle!

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.

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!
I'll just shoot with the one revolver this time to make sure of hitting the target at least, so damage is 4 on the d8.

Jinx rolled 14 on his attack (Grit? Although I don't think it matters which one as they're all +0), if that's enough he got another 4 on his d4!

You wound the croc with your rifle; it hisses then lunges at you!

Roll GRIT!

Your croc is badly wounded now; roll 2d6 to see how it reacts to your latest barrage of attacks.

Hopefully higher is better... 8-[

Well...your croc turns tail (literally) and runs off into the marsh! You can try to shoot it before it gets away!

Both barrels! 19!

5 and 2 on the dice (I guess the latter means I need to reload, which I'll do when I can next, not sure if it also does that damage)

If it's still alive and kicking Jinx will leap in as well, 11 on a d20, only 1 on the d4 though.

You shoot the croc dead!

You don't need to actively 'reload', but you are down a slot of revolver ammo (I'll mark your sheet). Congratulations, you've bagged yourself nine days of rations (of course...you'll have to cook 'em) and as much croc skin as you can use.

Can we sell the teeth at a trader?

Doc arrives back at the camp, dragging a croc carcass by the tail, with Jinx in tow.

Yes you can! Somebody at Hopeful Creek will probably buy them from you. But you gotta get there first.

I'm still waiting for Cumflutter's d4 roll to see what berries he and Rufus find.

The 9 days of rations from the croc, is that to feed the whole group for that duration?

It's nine individual daily meals...so to feed the whole group from this one croc, it would suffice for two days.

4 on a D4 roll. Lovely stuff. I'll also pull the cross teeth and share with group.
