You can hide here in the conservatory, sure, but the soldiers outside have already moved on.
My fire is more than can be made with forests,
My state more base than are the basest valleys;
I wish no evenings more to see, each evening;
Shamed, I hate myself in sight of mountains,
And stop mine ears, lest I grow mad with music.

Oh right, I thought they were still coming for us.

In that case I ready my guns and dropkick the door open to the dining room.

The Bean Bunch, concealed within the shadows of the conservatory, hear and see the seven soldiers run past the house toward the south. You have successfully evaded them.

All right, you kick open the door to the conservatory and you find...

THE DINING ROOM!


Roll me a d8, somebody!

"I've never seen so many bears together in one place before," Doc has time to think, before the mauling commences.

In fact, there are seven Redrum Boys gathered in this room, having flipped the dining room table over as a barricade; they immediately raise their sawn-off shotguns at you.


Somebody roll 2d6 for reaction!

I'll shoot at the table with my rifle hoping the bullet will go through and hit someone.

They all stare at CK and the others.

"Well holy smokes, boys! It's the Cadaver Kid!"

They lower their weapons.

"We sure as hell thought you was gonna be Incorporation lackeys!"

Up to you, but it's a d10 anyway - you swapped out your rifle for a more powerful one.
