There was a horrible shredding sound as Joshua put both feet on the rim of the pool and threw himself back as hard as he could.
He staggered back into the corner, knocking Brigitta's pistol out of her hand as he slammed into the wall. His leg was covered in blood.
One moment Rawley was reaching for Joshua's collar, and the next moment he was staring into the slavering jaws of the beast as it prepared to heave itself over the rim of the pool. Instinctively, he squeezed off a shot, perforating the big fin on the creature's back.
It did not seem particularly deterred.
Haskins and Bill spread out, and together they let fly. Muzzles flashed and hot lead zipped into the pool-- but neither shot had found its mark.
The giant lizard lashed its tail from side to side and propelled itself onto the edge of the pool, as if preparing to pounce. Its maw whipped from side to side, baptizing the heroes with warm flecks of Joshua's blood like a gory aspergillum.
Just waiting on the results of Teddy's damage roll before the beast finishes its action.

. Glad I didn't put one in Hambrick's back 
...hopefully we will all live to Round 2!]

I never got an answer from nakia as to whether he wanted to fire one barrel or both, so I am assuming one. I will update in a couple of minutes by editing this post.
The beast hesitated for the briefest moment, teetering on the edge of the pool.
Teddy blasted it broadside with a shot from his sawed-off shotgun. He fumbled for the hammer on the second barrel of his shotgun, but in a split second, the creature turned toward this new threat and bore down on him. Teddy barely had time to get the shotgun between him and the lizard when its massive jaws latched on to him and held him fast. Teddy was torn and tossed violently from side to side as the creature tried to tear away a morsel of flesh.
Critter takes 10 damage from shotgun blast. Teddy takes 10 damage from bite and is now grappled.

Ouch. 19 on attack roll for monster, then a 20 for the grapple. I'm sorry I wasn't clearer about Teddy's actions. Now he's paying for it.
If Teddy can, he'll squeeze off his other barrel into the monster, preferably down his gullet. Then, he'll try to get out of the monster's grip. He'll use an action point on his next grapple roll to break free.
Wulf, I'm sending you two rolls. One's for the shot, the other's for the next grapple check. If Teddy can't shoot, then ignore the first roll. Action point should only be applied to grapple. Edit: Ooops. Looks like I sent you 14 rolls instead of two. Sorry. Just take the first two, so it looks like I'm still grappled.
"Shoot it, ya bloody cowboys! . . . AGHHHH!!"

Chaos abounds all around. Blood flies through the air as if in call to the screams that echo like thunder. Somehow Bill lets an eerie calm fall over him; he has killed before and that leaves a mark on a man’s soul. No, not the killing of war…something more personal. His eyes widening like a predator. With a steady hand he levels his Peacemaker at the creature's lower spine, his hand bobbing with its every move until it synchronizes with the horror. Everything stands still in that moment. Everything is silent.
He fires.
OOC: Wulf, if I roll less than a 13 to hit I spend an action point.
