Yes, GRIT is for hand-to-hand combat, strength, or endurance.

LUCK is avoiding being shot with bullets most of the time.
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.

"Here, Kid, this'll perk you back up," Doc says, handing CK his bottle of anti-poison.
“Thanks Doc,” I say, masking the trepidation I’m experiencing as I down the unknown concoction.

I think that one was a mix of poisoned chilli and laudanum.
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.

Haha, that rings a bell, I remember being amused at making an poison cure from poisoned chilli...

It's like how they make snake venom cures from snake venom.

The goal is to make our insides so biologically hazardous that no other dangerous bacteria can survive.

To try and make each day of this seven-day journey to Hopeful Creek more interesting...I'm going to try something. A random encounter table.

Give me a d100 roll, somebody.

Not flaming rain, but there is a heavy rainstorm.

You're all soaked and miserable. No-one will sleep well tonight.

Time to decide who's eating what tonight: there's fifteen meals worth of crocodile-meat, and three meals worth of Cumflutter's questionable berries.

I’ll stick with a trusty croc burger after my poisoning.
