Okay, so, Roach has been shot! Twice! Tantrum Tammy has fired two guns at you through the door.

Your options are:

1. Use an Ace (you have three) to re-roll that Luck dice and hope for better.

2. Lose your hat (perhaps only temporarily) to take no damage.

3. Roll a Death check, to see if you die, or something else happens.
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.

I'm feeling brave, I'll go for the death check.

I believe that means we've all had a death check now during this mission. Maybe we should have taken on the cows :lol:

No, Cumflutter chose to lose his hat (which he later found), and took no damage!

You'll get another opportunity... (if you survive)

Well, well, looks like you got lucky and the shots just tore your clothes a bit. You're doin' just fine, partner!

You wanna have another go at kickin' down that door?

"That never normally happens, I swear!"

He puts the boot in again.

2 and a 16 that time.

Your boot connects with the door and you feel something give. There's a crunch and a splinterin' o' wood.

And yet...the door holds. Damn it! That Tantrum Tammy's gone an' boarded the thing up from the other side. It's gonna take more than one kick to get this sucker down, even for Parcheval Meskaró's famous door-destroyin' boot!

But now she's shootin' through the door again!


Roach, test your LUCK once again! (d20)

Does anyone have a shotgun? Maybe try blasting the hinges off the door.
Cumflutter could also try his shooting his rifle at the door in hopes of hitting Tammy on the other side.

Could we use a flask of one of Doc's concoctions to create a makeshift explosive, like a SWAT C2 breaching charge? :lol:

I'm assuming flashbangs are out of the question.

Roach has a shotgun: having already partially damaged the door, a successful SLICK test with the shotgun will finish it off.

However...he's gotta dodge the incoming bullets first.

I mean there's a bathtub full of highly volatile moonshine across the hall...

You could probably use crushed rust and gun powder as an oxidizer...

Looks like the shotgun will get us in, but it is quite tempting to drag the bathtub up to the door and toss a lit cigarette at it...
