You shoot two bullets into the nearest Clown. He's pretty hurt but he's not dead!

Cumflutter will cover the hallway and start blasting if help needed.
It will be needed, so let's just say you run in and start blasting.

Revolver, I assume? In which case, roll a d6!

You fire both barrels into the same Clown that Cadaver Kid just shot and he goes flying backwards over the bar, knocking over half-empty bottles of hooch as he goes.

You're also down a slot of shotgun ammo (I'll adjust your sheet).

There's three Clowns left! Let's see what Cumflutter can do...

You fire a revolver round into the next Clown, but he ain't dead.

You'll need to wait for the next round to do that.


Now the Clowns attack!

There's three Clowns, and three of you guys in the room, so one Clown will attack each of you.



Cadaver Kid, Roach and Cumflutter, you all need to test GRIT (d20) to avoid being hit by barbed-wire-wrapped clubs!

CK is -1, Roach is -3 and Cumflutter is +1

12 - 1 = 11

4 on a d6 if I'm struck.

Your HP is now 2/7.

Not necessarily.

You've got 3 options:

1. Use your last Ace to re-roll your Grit check.
2. Lose your hat and take no damage
3. Make a death-check (death not guaranteed)
