Struggling to hold the strong man's arms behind his back, Josiah was caught off-guard by the blow delivered when the man swung his head back, hitting Josiah square in the face. He grunted in pain, shouting out "Sunofabi-! before being interrupted.
The sounds of gunfire caught Josiah even further by surprise, and he suddenly found himself being pulled to the ground by the man he had just been trying to grapple. Seeing something come flying in through the window just as the man got up and left out the back, Josiah let out a shocked scream of "Íosa Críost!" as the room exploded in flames. Getting up from the floor to a crouch, Josiah quickly made the Sign of the Cross over his chest as an apology for his verbal blasphemy, before drawing his Dragoon revolver and rushing out the back of the saloon.
Once outside, Josiah rushed to find a piece of cover he could duck behind and fire at the bandits from. Ducking behind something wooden, and not giving much thought as to what it was, Josiah carefully propped his head and pistol up over the edge, firing two shots at the attackers, before quickly ducking back from return fire. Fumbling around in his duster, Josiah quickly pulled out and uncapped a hip flask, taking a deep swig before closing it back up and returning to shooting at the attacking lowlives.
