You self guard, (+2) you just can't be too careful. You're also surrounded, as Royal brought his guard ghoul, his ghoul guard, his seeing eye ghoul along over the barricade.
You try to dispatch the 2 scarecrows, but dispatch (0). Their heads are bashed easily enough, but they just deform like bags of straw, and the creatures keep bristling and twitching. This situation was already making you angry.
[If my 5th+4th <=10, you fly into a Rage. If less you keep your composure]
You hear Royal coming, and grab both the scarecrows by the nape of their necks, forcing them to walk ahead of you into the gunfire (3).
[If my 4th+3rd <=10, all of Royal's bullets lodge in the scarecrows. If more, one passes through and hits you, causing bleeding and a stacking -1 to calamity]
Throwing the corpses towards Royal you attack the mass and bash in a head with (3) blows.
[If my 3rd+2nd <=10, you killed Royal, +2 to calamity. If more you've dispatched his attack ghoul]
The scarecrows and the rest of the piled melee lay thrashing in a heap.
[If my 2nd+1st <=10, the ghouls are feasting on Royal, or the ghoul's, remains making them Sitting Ducks. If more Royal will take another shot at you, or if he is dead, his ghoul will lunge at you]
You have 4 actions
>focus (+1)>self guard (+2)>fight thug (if applicable)>fight ghoul>hide from gunfire (if applicable)>stop bleeding (if applicable)>escape down cord>jump out window (gauranteed w/-3 calamity)>loot corpse (digit determines single item)>your idea[5th-2nd] 1-5p, 6-0f
[Calamity] 1-4p, 5-0f
