Caek, you haven't done much that's needed a roll. Rolls are for combat actions and searches. You have a 1 in 4 chance of getting the luck bonus. The luck hasn't been with you so far.
Steady Feat will help with climbing and when a beastie tries to tackle you and knock you down, as well as with melee attacks.

James Sander (Miggles)
Thank Carl and leave. Look for something to do.
You leave and walk around a bit, looking for something to do. (Rolled an 8 ) You happen across a medium-sized junk pile. Upon further inspection, it appears to be composed of useable components. You take a few. You hear a loud barking from behind. Turning around, what appears to be a guard dog is charging you.
Year of origin: 1905 Planet of origin: Earth Physical description: A tall, handsome, bearded man with brown hair and eyes. His stubbly beard extends from his short hair. His attire comprises of tall boots, jean slacks, a sturdy leather belt a hard-worn white shirt with red suspenders, a leather vest and ammunition belt, a thin, slightly ripped red poncho, and a wide brimmed, dark reddish-brown hat. Essentially, a cowboy in his prime, out of his time. Mental description: James Sander is a complex man. Though he is a master with a gun, he avoids conflict despite his rugged appearance. A man of honor and pride, but also a hint of control, he will only fight if he needs to or if the other party insists. (In the case of a duel, for instance.) Or, of course, if he is angry, which is not as unoften as you might think. Not overly social, or socially outcast either, he is a dignified and recognizable character, but he keeps to himself, typically only talking to those that talk to him or about him. Respected amongst his townsfolk, who, like he, are residents one of the very few "cowboy" towns left. He spends much of his time in the saloon, as any self-respecting vigilante does. He is thought of as an ominous figure by his fellow townspeople, and very few people know much about him. He is often seemingly too muddled in his own issues to pay attention to others and will space out while by himself. Combat role: Badass Cowboy Weapons: Jacobs Choot ‘em Up 6-shot (Fire Rate Up: consumes 2 bullets per shot) The Lone Ranger (8/8 bullets) Ol' Faithful Hit Points: 5/10 Active abilities: Steady aim: Able to not only shoot quite accurately, but also very quickly in a bullet time fashion.

Find a defendable position and wait for the robots. Preferably a corner to ambush them from.
After a quick glance around, there do not appear to be any defensible positions. The nearest one is the barricade Reggie hid behind, and that’s a ways up the hallway, past the people chasing you. The sound of the boots and the shouts of your chasers get even closer.
Year of origin: 2314 Planet of origin: Talos IX Physical description:As his nickname suggests he resembles the Minotaur of Greek mythology, tall and beastlike with two horns growing from the side off their heads. However, he is not spectacularly large or muscular for his kind, being just over two meters tall and weighing a meager 150 kilograms. He dresses in casual business wear or a brown leather coat. Mental description:Talosians are usually known as primitive brutes with a tendency to go berserk at the slightest provocation. This is where Thyr makes up for his rather unimpressive size, with intellect and cunning. Using his (for human standards) impressive body and tact to intimidate or lie his way out of any situation he quickly established himself as an excellent hired gun.

Rocket Jump to/over Robert whilst going to the trench [Combolt]
You use Combolt to get an extra bit of speed and dive into the trench before Robert gets there. You make your spear ready to lance either of the charging crabs as they run towards you. They will show up any second now.

Run back to the trench.
You run back to the trench and dive in before your crab attackers can tackle you. They will arrive any second now.

He wears the standard WW1 uniform and carries the standard, extremely heavy, backpack. He stands and walks as someone who is relieved to be out of the trenches. Mental description: Robert has the average thinking processes of a human being. He thinks of home and if he will ever see them again. He thinks of the war, and if he would survive it. He wonders if the war was even worth fighting. All that death over an arch-duke and a byzantine weave of alliances. He's generally fast on his feet. To have survived this long, he'd have to be. Combat role: Defender Weapons: Lee-Enfield Rifle (9/10 bullets) Webley Mk VI Revolver (5/6 bullets) Active Abilities: Dig-In: Robert digs into the ground a small trench.

See if the dog is hostile; if it attacks me, shoot it. If it doesn't, pet it.
You take a quick look at the approaching dog. It’s insane speed and bared teeth point to a deadly demeanor. You quickly draw and shoot your pistol. (Rolled a 6) Your bullets take the thing in the side, but it keeps going and tackles you. (Rolled a 10) Grappling with the thing, you manage to strike it directly in its recent would. It is down, mortally wounded. You could try to nurse it back to health, or leave it to die.

Re: Infinity: An Open-World RtD Adventure
A little discourse on when you can time travel:
First, you must have a clear date and location in mind. Temporal coordinates are good for this.
Second, you must not be in active combat. It takes severe mental concentration to initiate time travel, and that is nearly impossible to achieve in the heat of a battle.
You can take skills to alleviate the second and escape during battle. You will have to take three focus skills upon leveling, which improve skill at searching (level 1), using the same weapon multiple times (level 2), and then gives you the escape during battle function.
