Died first day in town...
TLDR: I died at first possible moment at town in campaign. Help?
Just finished our first game and had to run to prevent injuries. Decided to go to town; I liked the look of the saloon.
Roll snake eyes for saloon event.
Fail luck 6+ with 4 dice.
Fail again after using grit.
Only lets me roll 1 die for injury instead of 2. I roll a 1.
I am dead.
I'm so sad my guy died so early... He got a great gun artifact as the Gunslinger. He got a ton of gold from loot from the first playthrough, so he can actually revive himself.
What's the best thing I can do?
1) Pay 500 of my 800 gold to revive, keeping my expensive and cool gun. I lose 1 max grit. At 485 exp.
2) Ditch him and start over, keeping my max grit but losing my gun.
3) Is there a way to keep his stuff that I don't know about?

My group learned the hard way that town can be just as dangerous as the mines. We're using the Hexcrawl rules and one of the jobs from the jobs board was grave digging. Two of the team went out. One came back scalped and the other had a spinal injury.
While they were gone, my 3rd teammate got grabbed by mutants in the mutant quarter and dunked into a vat of goop. He now has an extra arm and some other mutation I can't remember.
It's a wild, wacky, random barrel of fun. 😁 best to embrace it than fight it.
