...did Tammy have another revolver I could use?
She has a pair of pocket pistols:

Image

You're welcome to take one and use it along-side your revolver.
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 stand ready at the side of the door with pistol and tomahawk in hand.
Oh, sorry, I forgot this detail and had you shoot Tammy with your rifle.

Well, even if you had rolled max damage on the pistol (which we'll say you did) the results would have been the same.

I'll take a swig of Laudanum and promptly move to bash in the next door.

2 and a 19.

I'll make sure I'm beside the door when this happens and then unload both guns into the first person I see when the door goes down.

BAM!

Roach kicks the door open (it turns out to be unlocked), and he reveals a kitchen.

A filthy kitchen.

A filthy kitchen is a state of chaos.

Image

The place stinks of rank food and beer. On a stove, a pot is boiling. Kitchenware litters the floor: knives, forks, spoons, pots, pans and spatulas. Four badgers are roaming about free, trying to get away from four Rodeo Clowns, all wearing clown make-up and makeshift body-armour made from barrels. They're apparently trying to capture the badgers, and have turned the activity into a sort of game. One of them, however, is preoccupied juggling kitchen knives.

Cadaver Kid, roll a Slick test (d20+ 1) since you're shooting with two guns at the same time.

You blast both your pistols into the nearest clown, but even their combined fire is not enough to fell him.

I think since Roach kicked down the door he also gets the 'element of surprise' and may take a shot...no need to make a test: just roll 1d6 or 2d6 depending how many barrels you wish to fire.

That's a molotov into the room and hold the doors shut situation I believe.

Setting the building on fire before you've explored it probably isn't the best move...

BLAM!

Roach fires the shotgun into the group of clowns; killing one, who drops to the kitchen floor, and wounding another.

The others yell and rush at Roach and Cadaver Kid, swinging barbed-wire wrapped clubs!

CK and Roach: each of you must test GRIT to avoid being thwacked by a barbed-wire club!
