Cumflutter let's out an exasperated sigh and fires at the nearest lawman.
(If he's on his horse I believe I get a bonus)
Roll me 2d20 to hit, testing SLICK.

Add +2 to the highest roll.
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, we'll assume Cadaver Kid's bullets will strike near the feet of Boone's horse. It rears up and he tumbles to the ground.

At this moment, Doc fires his pistols at the fellow.

Doc, roll 2d6, re-rolling any sixes and adding to the result, as per the normal revolver-shootin' method.
2 and a 5
Sheriff Boone's hit, but he ain't dead. He's real mad, though!

That's a hit!

Roll a d8, please.

Your shot strikes one of the deputies and he's pissed.

Okay, it's time to start dodgin' bullets, folks.

Sheriff Boone immediately fires his rifle at Cadaver Kid. Test LUCK (d20-1), CK!

The wounded deputy shoots his rifle at Cumflutter in the doorway. Test LUCK (d20+3), Cumflutter!

The other deputy shoots his rifle at Doc, behind the well. Test LUCK (d20+3), Doc! [and it's 2d20 for you, choosin' the highest]

11 - 1 = 10

Assuming I'm hit, I'd like to use my Tough Nut ability: If hit with a bullet, test Grit on 2d20 to avoid taking damage.

First roll is an 8, second is a natural 20!

You are indeed hit, and you just got yourself a 15th scar and a new Ace!

A 6 and a 14, so 17 total for my highest.

You're both fine!

Time to start taking actions of your own!

"Was it worth it, Boone?!"

I'll fire both guns at him.

SLICK: I swear I'm not making this up... nat 20. :lol:

I'll await the results of CK's shootin' before picking a target.

Another Ace gained! Whatever you roll, Boone's dead, but roll 2d6 anyway to see if your ammo holds up.
