Alphonse charged out of the courthouse as quickly as he could.  It's not that he was a coward or anything, it was just that if he caught on fire he would take anyone near him down as well.  It was for the good of the many that he ran... er, declined to fight the fire.  

But now monsters were coming.  This was his job, and he was good at it(so far, anyway).  He knew with that crowd he could only fire once before needing to switch to his sword, there was no time to reload. 

Alphonse got in range and pulled his gun from his hip, and fired at one of the bat-winged monsters.

(Rolled an 8)

The bullet passed through the monster, hitting it square in its one eye.  It fell to the ground with a thump, moving no more as its dark blood oozed onto the ground.
Alphonse drew his sword to continue the fight.
