[ Fortunately for Sans, the average Roegadyn isn't so easy to run over. Doubly so when Merlwyb's already taken stock of the situation and assumed a wider stance to accommodate the considerable kickback of the double-barreled musket she wields in one hand. It's twin is still holstered at her hip but clearly prepped for use.
There may or may not be a tense moment here with the barrel of her firearm wavering between the Mostly Harmless Monster and the Not At All Harmless Monsters behind him - clearly deciding whether or not a skeleton in clothes presents a bigger threat.
A sharp crack and plume of sparks, followed by the leading Rotfiend receiving a fatal dose of musket ball administered through the forehead, and the corpse explodes into poisonous gas at a safe range some five yalms away. Bullseye! Merlwyb steps aside to allow Sans to pass. ]
Move quickly, ere we be overwhelmed. I cannot hold them off forever.
[ Another echoing gunshot as she takes another of the creatures through the eye - retreating step by step at a steady pace without checking to see if her strange new companion is keeping up. At least there's an upside to being chased out an alley, since the Rotfiends can't come at them more than one or two at a time. Classic example of bottleneck tactics. ]
