GRIT is a natural 1, minus 1 = 0. :lol:
Oh dear! Critical fail!

You lose any Aces you had, and what's more, everyone else loses their Aces too!

In addition to this, as you're shooting up the hatch, it not only gives way, but the floor surrounding it gives way too with a loud CRACK! You fall through the floor!

Test LUCK, Stacob! (d20-1)
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, you fall into the wine-cellar beneath the bar, and hurt yourself for... d4 damage!

You land hard on the slippery, booze-coated floor of the wine-cellar, covered with loose bottles.

Three barrels are stacked in a corner, as well as a crate.

There is a hole in the wall of the cellar, leading into a cave.

Just as you're recovering from the shock of the fall, you hear a familiar mumbling voice, followed by the flash of two muzzles!

Test LUCK again, Cadaver Kid, to avoid being shot by Mumbling Manny, who is hiding behind the barrels and crate!


By the way, Doc "Scrotum", you hear these gunshots coming from the dark room adjoining the cave you're currently in.

"Aw heck, here we go again!" Doc hollers.

Can I take cover behind the wall leading to the next room, and fire towards the direction I saw the muzzle flashes?

13 - 1 = 12 for luck.

When I’m able, I’ll fire back.

“You were only wanted for theft, Manny; you wouldn’t have swung! But now you’re gonna bleed!”

You didn't see them, only hear the gunshots coming through the hole in the cave wall ahead of you. But yes, you can take cover behind the wall and fire into the room all the same. Manny doesn't know you're there right now though.

If you lean through the hole in the wall (dividing the cave from the cellar) you can probably see him, yes.

Yes, shooting with two pistols is a Slick test.

That's a hit, so roll 2d6 as well!
