[ You COULD be the coward in the truck if yall tried and also weren't rolling 2s. Speaking of 2s, since you both rolled one of those each, this is what happens:
Nuwa focuses down her scope and prepares to fire -- and though she was doing so well earlier, maybe the scope just... isn't for her. The recoil of the gun ends up knocking the gun straight into her face, and while it's not enough to make anything bleed, it hits just harsh enough that Nuwa is probably going to end up leaving with a black eye and a pulled strain in her arm and shoulder that does not feel pleasant whatsoever [2].
Worse yet is the incendiary fire that envelops the steamroller portion of the truck in flames, upping the ante by a considerable amount as the driver cheers, Hogcrusher pedal being slammed directly at Owen. 'We'll see who's laughin' when all your organs are crushed -- AND burned!' they jeer, as they speed on towards him. His fired grenade doesn't make a pretty arc, and while it hits, it bounces in the most unfortunate way right back at Owen himself [2].
The good part? The first explosion veered the car's course off by just enough that it won't shred and flatten Owen in one go (damn we still need you for cyoa). It's still terrible though since Owen is going to get hit by the sides of the truck, getting flung off and into a wall at however many horsepower this behemoth carries [11]. He is most certainly not getting off scot-free, definitely some bone broken of your choice.
They manage to land without harm and wheel back another 180, in very much those vibes of 'this felt like it was going to be so bad but we lived bitch', and the riders (and audience!) are clearly loving the adrenaline rush. They will not hesitate to come back for another run!
