Well, your HP is 0, which means you're staggering, but you've actually got better. Your Slick just went up from +1 to +2.

I believe it's time for the gang to act again!

There's still three Clowns in the room!

I'm afraid you've missed, Cadaver Kid, but to be fair you were just hit by a barbed-wire club!

Roach and Cumflutter, you may shoot again (no aiming required), just roll d6(s) for damage.

Doc Scotum, meanwhile, is still laughing it up outside the window.

You shoot the same Clown as before. Despite putting two bullets in him, this guy is still on his feet!

You blast both barrels into another Clown; he flies through the air and slams into the wall, before dropping to the ground. Two Clowns down, two to go!


Now the remaining two Clowns will attack with their barbed wire clubs!

I have randomly determined who they will attack...

...and they're both attacking Roach!


Roach, test GRIT twice!

All right...you have two Aces.

You can spend those two Aces to re-roll both of those, or one Ace to re-roll one, while using your Hat to take zero damage from the other.

If you don't use your Aces or hat, or fail again after re-rolling, roll a d6 per hit taken!

I'll spend an ace to avoid one of those but will risk the damage with the other.
