Rick fired another round right towards the road closed sign ahead of him.

((Fire at lane, same segment as the sign.
Thwump - (1d3)[1]
Boom - (2d4)[2]))

((That was awful, so I'm activating my gunner ability to re-roll.

Thwump - (1d3)[3]
Boom - (2d4)[4]))

*BOOM*

"The drivers are getting aggressive! Rick is firing his mortar as fast as he can reload and look at Elvira - she rammed the Meat Wagon and overcame!"

"Yes, there were steel plates flying all over the road, but it looks like Meat Wagon withstood the hit without any significant damages!"

"On the other hand, Elvira got caught in the shrapnel and explosion of Rick's mortar shot! It wrecked the 'Road Closed' sign and managed to damage also her car!"



"Let's also have a look at Running in the 90's - lane four is completely free! And the Mime is happily escaping in lane 2! "

"Now the buick tried to change lanes to be able to hit somebody, but... well, you should not take road tires and then drive on the offroad."

"I agree. On the other hand, the poor soulless ghost rider is speeding up. We'll see what he's up to."

Drake remains in his lane.

Lane change to 4

Rick reached for another round, only to have it squeak. He picked it up in confusion only to discover one of the ferrets had gotten loose. He looked back at the box. "Hmm..."

One bomb, a box of ferrets, and a roll of duct tape later, and Rick delicately inserted his creation into the mortar, and took aim down the road.

((Fire the entire box. Thwump - (1d3)[1]
Boom - (2d4)[5]))

((Re-roll!
Thwump - (1d3)[3]
Boom - (2d4)[6]))

"Okay, Crash, too many things happening at the same time!"

"Hell yeah! Drake's just speeding down the road, trying to keep a low profile, just keepin' it straight."

"On the other side of the road, Rick is slowing down to a crawl, doing something in his car!"

"Looks like he's duct-taping something & trying to fit it into his mortar."

"Well, Elvira's speeding up, but look at that! The ghost rider changes lanes, moving right in the opposite!"

"Dangerous situation!"

"And the Mime just decided to switch to lane 6! I think he's crazy, won't be able to control that junk of his on the mud!"

"Talking about crazy..."

*BAMF*

"...is that what I think it is?"

"Holy ferrets! Meat Wagon's driver decided to shoot a cage full of volatile ferrets together with his mortar!"

"WOW!"

"Wouldn't want to be on the receiving end of the ferrets!"

"Ferrets everywhere!"

"Okay... so, let's do a blow-by-blow-recap... first, Elvira & Drake just go on, while the ghost rider switches lanes...



...then the Mime decides to change lanes, basically deciding to wreck his car against the pump because he can not really control his car when in dirt... while the crazy in Buick RAMS into the wreck, destroys it and then drives through the puddle of oil, losing control and ending in lane 4, alongside Rick's Meat ferretwagon...



...which ferret-shoots a cage ferret-full of volatile ferret-frickin' FERRETS out of his mortar - who knows where he got those - that landed in the middle of the road, right in front of the ghost rider and close enough for lady E to get caught... did I miss something?"



"Well... not really, except for your word quota regarding word 'ferret'."

"Who the ferret cares???"

"Just the ferrets, Crash. Just the ferrets."

The damage was done, now Rick put his foot down to play catch up.

((Accelerate - (2d6)[5][5](10) Take the higher

And a bonus Ram - (2d6)[2][5](7) if anything gets in my way.))

[QuadraticGish]

Seeing a clear opening to the end, Drake decides to forgo the bounty to try to reach the first place finish.

Accelerate, up to top speed.

"Sorry for the blackout folks, our systems went offline for a moment, but we are back and here is what happened!"

"Ferrets..."

"Shutup."

"F..."

*SLAP*

"Thank you! We're back!"

"First things first! Drake finished this leg of the race - he managed to cross the finish line! Closely followed by Elvira! She first slammed the gas, then slammed into the ghost rider, but both were just thrown to different sides due to the crash - no damage done."



"Also, Elvira's ferret got fried before causing any damage! Tasty!"

"The other ferrets - one stuck in ghost riders' skull and engine managed to cause a fiery explosion of his motorcycle!"

"He's toast. And history! A ferret ghost toast!"



"And our last racer, Rick R. Mortis, decided to stomp on the gas and is speeding up. Does he stand any chance of getting into the bathroom break? We'll see."

"Aaaaand look at that. Another explosion. The Mime is gone. He is a past Mime. Why? Crashed into the oil well."

"What a sad, sad cloud of smoke!"

[RandomLunatic]

Rick kept the hammer down.

((Accelerate - (2d6)[2][3](5) Take the 3))
