[Torg] What would you do as a GM if the player did this?

[Benjamin Grant]

I don't have DDs in my campaign, but if I did, they would be like the
Tolkien's One Ring - nigh indestructible.  The PCs can shoot it and smack it
all they want, it's not going to accomplish much.

Hey hey hey,
    I had a fun evening with my group. I ran them through the end of High
Lord of Earth. Though I mutated the module a little bit for a different
realm, but otherwise kept the module the same. It is a worthy module IMHO as
it poses the players some internal questions, specifically at the end.

Not to put any spoilers in here for anyone who wants to run/play the module
(and I'll encourage a GM to run it) but it fits my current delima. Sort of
delima, I know what I'm going to do, and I know what I've done, I'm
interested in seeing what you'd've done and why.

The players are standing in a room, say 10m x 5m x10m with one hallway
entrance midway on the 10m wall, an Alter close to the far wall. Upon it was
a Staele, 10 baseball sized black rocks stacked in a pyramid formation, and
a deep black cattle skull. The walls, alter and Staele are the same rock
that makes up the Devil's Tower (in Wyoming), which they happen to be
inside. The Staele was destroyed by the group, and the rocks were spread
about the room. The only thing on the Alter is the black cattle skull. Big
horns on either side, no lower jaw bone. Really evil looking. Anyway. On
player, a Nile Hero (Thing the Shadow without any powers, just the two .45
guns) takes out a Weird Science pistol, holds it up to the cattle skull,
point blank range, and pulls the trigger. Please note, if you don't know by
this point, that the cattle skull is a Darkness Device, it is. 

What do you do? What do you do when the same player, plays a haste card and
pulls a sword out with his other hand and smacks the DD again in the same
round?

Needless to say I did handle it intertainging (according to my players).

I'll post what I did after I hear from some of you. I'm curious how other
GMs would handle this.
