Do I only get to fire once this round? I believe you can reload both barrels if you don't fire in a given round, or you can load one shell and fire it later in the same round. If I do get to reload both and still fire, I'd like to fire the second barrel separately.

OOC,I think it's fair that you have another shell loaded, but yours is the last turn before the monster fires again. Go ahead and try and shoot him again.

Alice fires her second barrel an instant before the creature was about to fire its own bizarre weapon. This one strikes home with an impressive impact.

Alice’s shot destroys what an observer would consider the creature’s head to be. As it flies apart, the angry buzzing ceases and the creature collapses in a heap, gooey ichor oozing from its wounds.
The companions stand, open-mouthed in shock at the combat they have just participated in.

Alice's jaw drops open. The first thing she does is go over to help Dr. Balzac, who was injured by the strange weapon. "Would you believe I've never fired a gun before in my life?" she says in wonder. "I'm a regular Annie Oakley!"

Balzac shakes from adrenalin and frost-bite. "Mon Dieu." He half whispers. Then, "Vite! Reload, there may be more."
He races back to his dropped shotgun and breaks it open to reload, before replacing the spent rounds in his revolver.
OOC: As soon as he's reloaded both weapons, he'll attempt to first aid himself.

Isadora Carmichael
Isadora now stands trembling, with an unlit firebomb in one hand, and a box of matches in the other.
Overtaken by curiosity, she walks over to the abomination and examines it. She cautiously touches the weird weapon with her feet, and tries to pull it away from the body.

Isadora is mesmerized by the gleam of the weird, deadly, alien technology. She puts the matches in her pocket, and picks up the weapon...

The weapon resembles a piece of metal driftwood, unlike any kind of human weapon. If she hadn't seen it in action, Isadora wouldn't even know one end of it from the other. But she can fit it over her forearm, and there seems to be a switch to depress. The weapon is fairly light, and has a strange, slightly greasy feel.

OOC,[b]Balzac's[/b] [i]Medicine[/i] is 87% and for self first aid he rolls...

First Aid,[dice]1[/dice]
But I assume Balzac can't heal up more than the 2 he lost in one attack.
Balzac swiftly treats his own injuries then beckons Henry over to treat him too.

OOC,No, he's still down one from the overall cold of the mountain. Still, he's feeling better than before.
As the companions take stock of their situation, and treat their wounds, they see another fire bloom further up the mountain, not too far where the other is still burning. The cold is still intense.

Alice reloads her shotgun. "Let's get the moonshine bombs ready for use as we walk," she says. "We may need them when we get there." She glances at the strange contraption, but she can't make hide nor hair of it.

Balzac quickly treats Henry's frost-bite injury from the big insect-thing's first blast.
Medicine,87% and he rolls...
[dice]0[/dice]
OOC: I'm not sure if the initial attack's damage can be first aided or not, but if it can, Henry would get back his lost HP from the critter's first zap at the team.

Once done with Henry, Balzac warily approaches the critter, squats down and examines it closely, trying to make head or tail of it.
OOC,Is there any roll Balzac could make that would let him make any conclusions about the thing?

OOC,Yes, Henry can be treated from the first attack, but not from the general cold.
Balzac can roll Biology or Natural History to examine the monstrosity.

Unfortunately, he deduces little.

Unfortunately, the conditions are too primitive to make any determinations about exactly what he is looking at. Balzac will need a proper laboratory, not this freezing hillside.
