The Darkness Beneath the Hill

How’s Leland holding up?

So Fumbles are automatic on a roll of 00 and 96-100 if your skill is less than 50. As Leland is on 55, this isn't quite a fumble, so he loses 1d3 sanity. I'll roll it here.

Looks like you got maximum loss anyway!

Initiatives!

Combat order in CoC is simply your DEX order, so here it is. Normally, anyone with a drawn and ready firearms gets +50 to their initiative

Always happy to be corrected, Yullybear!

OK Max, to lay out your options - firing into melee (which you are essentially doing) means you fire with a penalty dice (so roll 1d100 and an additional d10) If you fumble, you hit your ally.

You can spend the round aiming which gives you a bonus die, therefore cancelling out the penalty.

You also have the opportunity of firing multiple shots if your weapon allows. (.45 revolver can fire up to 3). The second and third shot would call for an additional penalty roll)

OK, so with a penalty we use the d10 as tens and take the worst result, so that's 07 or 57, just hit!
