Doc will press an ear to the south-west door to try to discern what is happening inside.
You hear someone — a woman — screaming and shouting.

"Why is everyone after ME? Why is everyone out to get me!? That’s so not fair! I didn’t do anything. Or, well, I didn’t do anything THAT bad. It’s not like I killed anyone...recently. Why don’t they just leave me alone!? What’d I ever do to them!? God damn it!"
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.

I'll relay this to the group.

"I reckon this is where Tammy is holed up, and by the sound of it she's alone... madder than a cut rattlesnake, though I'd say. Perhaps master Roach here could administer a well-placed boot to the door while the rest of us get the jump on her?"

Side note, is Tammy a Wanted Dead or a Wanted Dead or Alive?

"I will gladly oblige."

Roach positions himself ready to give the door a good kicking.

"Just give the word, gents. Though may I remind you there is the outstanding fellow who disappeared down that well likely to be lurking around somewhere and we're rapidly running out of rooms to find him in, so have yer wits about yer."

"As a Southern gentleman, I cannot allow any harm come to a woman while I am present. It's unseemly!"

“She sure as heck ain’t no lady. You don’t forego the ‘alive’ option on a bounty less what you done is pure, calculated evil. Trust me, we’ll be doin’ folks round these parts a solid favour.”

"If we do not abide by what is right then sir we are no better than the savages!"

Cumflutter straightened his suit with indignation, apparently oblivious to the varoius stains made up of soot, blood and human brains spattered literally about it.

"But...if she has the safe combination...that's a different matter "

I'll stand ready at the side of the door with pistol and tomahawk in hand.

"Let's see how chivalrous you are, good sir, when the lady is trying to blow your brains out."

"Knock, knock, sweetie pie!"

Roach kicks the door in.

Doc's going to take a swig of his magical Slick elixir (was it just the one dose he cooked up, or multiple?), with a 4 on the d4!

I'm ruling he gets one dose per mixture, and mixture must be made in an empty container. But, his Slick has now gone to +4. Not bad for a blood/moonshine/bathwater conconction!

Now because your Grit is -3, 14 is not sufficient to damage the door. However, in response to your kicking the door to her room, Tantrum Tammy is gonna shoot through the door!

Test Luck, Roach! (d20)
