Scene VII: The Scorned Path (Scum on the Trail)

[Sly Boots]

Doc is now wanted dead or alive for $1380

'For chronic pique'

[Stormbringer]

Does she have any identifying marks, tattoos or articles of jewellery?

Not really...but you could bundle up her head in her clothing, like a bag? Keep in mind you're also riding the horse she stole, so returning that may be another good sign?

Looks like Scrancher and CK have found more poison-water. Each of you make a GRIT test, please!

[Mantis]

10+2

[Stormbringer]

Scrancher's okay; I guess your guts are somewhat used to it by now...

[Sly Boots]

When no-one else is looking Doc will bottle up some of the vomit and poisoned water to make a miraculous new concoction...

[Stormbringer]

Roll a Wits test for me on 2d20, Doc!

[Wrathbone]

GRIT: 7 - 1 = 6

I’ll use my ace to re-roll: …and it’s another nat 20!

[Stormbringer]

I don't have it on record that CK has an Ace. Last time you rolled a d20 I gave you a new skill instead of an Ace...

BUT, I will let ya get away with it this time!

This time I am giving you another skill, the same skill Doc has:

Faker's Fortitude
Whenever you drink alcohol, or poison, you test Grit on 2d20, or suffer the negative effects.

[Sly Boots]

Roll a Wits test for me on 2d20, Doc!

A 13 (-1 so 12 total) and a... 1

[Wrathbone]

I don't have it on record that CK has an Ace. Last time you rolled a d20 I gave you a new skill instead of an Ace...

I thought you got an Ace every time you rolled a natural 20 (which I did a couple of pages back)?

I think Doug has started to mix it up a bit by sometimes giving us new skills instead.

[Stormbringer]

Yeah, when you roll a nat. 20 you either get a new Skill (based on what you were testing for) or an Ace.

At first I decided I would only hand out Aces but I've figured that some survival skills may prove necessary in this harsh environment!

Doc, you've made somethin'...roll me a d12 to see what!

7!

[Stormbringer]

By mixing vomit with poisoned water you've made yourself a bottle of Cactus Juice!

It settles your stomach, giving you -2 on the roll requirement for whatever your next test is.

[Stormbringer]

Now we've got the search for water sorted out, let's see what random event this day brings...

Someone roll me a d100!
