Everyone has a knife now, and Cumflutter has a tomahawk as well, so you're not short of blades.
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 we just need Roach to roll his SLICK and GRIT tests to see if he took damage from the explosion and was affected by the laughing gas.

And also LUCK to see if his hat survived.


Then you're free to carry on as normal!
15 on slick.

2 on grit.

14 on luck.

Sorry chaps, works mega busy today.

Roach took no damage from the explosion (thankfully), but he did inhale most of the laughing gas. He's pretty high right now!

Even better, his hat is fine, save for a minor tear.

So, yes, you've cleared (and looted) everything you want/are able to carry from the southern half of the building.

Here's a little map to show you everything thus far:

What does the posse do now?

I'll have a listen by the double doors to the north, a gun in each hand.

I don't suppose our doctor has a stethoscope about his person so he can listen at the walls? Either that or we can use the upturned glass on the wall trick.

Or just boot the doors in I suppose.

Unfortunately not. He never found much use for real medical equipment. He was always more interested in...experimental pharmacology.

"Well boys, that's one half of this godforsaken house searched and one-third of our bounties in the bag," says Doc, holding up a bag containing Tammy's head, which he has presumably taken the time to remove in this brief hiatus of clown homicide.

"What's the plan for the rest? I had some luck prising a board loose from one o'them windows, might be an idea to try a few more to get a better lay of the land before charging in again?"

I’ll volunteer to guard the double doors if others want to go scouting the windows.

Doc is quite happy to go back around the rear (west side) of the building, and begin prying a board from each of the windows looking into rooms they've not explored yet in the upper half of the house. Starting with the one just up from the chimney he climbed up previously.

Roach is absent mindedly poking his bullet wounds and giggling to himself.

If anyone need healing, don't forget about the laudanum I handed out to everyone!

Edit: quick note on my character sheet Doug, I should have two doses of laudanum in my canteen, and an empty bottle as (I think) Cumflutter drank my ace elixir...

Looking at the state of my health, I'll drink some laudanum.
