You still got two Aces if you wanna re-roll that Luck!

Otherwise, roll 2d4 for damage, then either it's the hat to avoid said damage, or the Death-check table to see how it affects you!
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.

All right, Doc and Cadaver Kid, each of you make a SLICK test.

That's d20+4 for Doc (thanks to his marvellous moonshine-medicine) and d20+1 for Cadaver Kid.
18 + 1 = 19

Okay, roll a d6, Doc!
3!

Assuming we can say what we were aiming for, I was going for a leg...
Your shot hits Tammy, but (as you rolled a 15, rather than 16) not in the desired location. She yelps as the bullet strikes her somewhere on her torso, then she hurls a torrent of abuse at the Doc!

This is what you can see:

It's an office space. There's a desk, and a chair in front of the boarded-up window, where Tammy sits. There's some shelves against the northern wall, and in the south-west corner there is an iron safe!

The bullets whistle past your ear but you're unharmed! You also, I imagine, leap aside and into cover at this point.
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.

Now that's an aimed shot. Tell me what body part you're aiming at and roll d6.

I'll go for her gun arm - 4 on the die.

Cadaver kid's bullet tears into her arm and she drops one of her guns onto the floor.

"Care to jot down that safe combo before you bleed out, Tammy?" Doc calls, more from hope than expectation...

Cumflutter's rifle slug goes straight through Tammy's heart and she falls back off her chair, dead, slumped against the western wall of the office.
