Scene II: Horsehead Ranch

[Stormbringer]

You fire off shots willy-nilly but not one o' them hits the scaley beast!

Now the croc's gonna lunge at you with its jaws, so it's a GRIT test to beat it off!

I have decided this experience has sobered you up enough to give you your normal stats back, makin' it a d20+3 roll.

[Wrathbone]

Finally a decent roll again! 18 + 3 = 21

I kick at its snapping jaws. "You want my boots, you damn lizard? I'll make boots outta you!"

[Stormbringer]

All right, I just rolled initiative for the next round and the croc's gonna get another snap in before you can move!

Test GRIT again, Cadaver!

[Wrathbone]

And the luck has expired. 2 + 3 = 5

[Stormbringer]

Roll a d8!

[Wrathbone]

7

[Stormbringer]

Okay, your options are:

1. Lose your hat! The crocodile bit it off your head!

2. Roll a a Death check! (d20)

[Wrathbone]

I'm going to stare death in the face with a Death Check.

12

[Stormbringer]

Roll a d4 and a d6!

[Wrathbone]

1 on both.

[Stormbringer]

That means your Grit has gone down by 1, from +3 to +2! Probably from the strain of fighting off a croc!

But you are alive!

My recommendation is to grab hold of that rope and climb back up, rather than hang around any longer here! But you are welcome to stick around and shoot or knife-fight the croc if you so choose!

[Wrathbone]

I'll clamber up with all haste.

[Animalmother]

"Sir!! I insist that you grab the rope of salvation I am offering you! Least you wish to continue your physical existence on this earth as no more than reptilian excrement!!"

[Sly Boots]

Anchorman 'Boy that escalated quickly.gif

[Stormbringer]

I'll clamber up with all haste.

All right, test SLICK (d20+1) to make it up that rope!

Target no. is 8!

Or, just hold on tight to the rope and Cumflutter can test GRIT (d20+1) to turn that crank handlenand pull you back up like he's drawing' out water!
