Carefully aim a few shots at the one with the rifle. Try to wound at least one of their arms, but hits to the body are fine too.

Le'see here, start checking through the paintings, any ones that have some sort of weapon in the background or foreground? Medical supplies, perhaps some protective clothing? I'll settle for a portal into some kind of military bunker, too, anything that seems imminently useful.
((This can be a free action, right?))
Yes, sine you already rolled for the room on the previous turn.

"You'll pay for what you've probably done to the Kaurava people!"

Switch to my trusty golf club and try to use mace techniques or at least ancient combat techniques to kill Andres.
According to some reading for the sake of specificity, a mace is a type of club that is thin, leading up to a heavy handle, so the Golf Club can be used as an improvised mace. Since you are going to have to cover ground to get to Andres, (since you are transitioning from a ranged to a melee fight) an Agility roll from both of you will determine who gets to attack first on your turn.

(Have all my items been confiscated?)

Explain to my cell-mate that my imprisonment is all just a big misunderstanding and give him my sob story about my sick niece.  Ask him about his story and try to bond with him.  If we become pals, ask him if he knows a way for both of us to escape.  If he does, use his method to escape if possible.

An Addendum To Player Sheets:
All spoiler'd player sheets are free to be viewed by other players and are considered "public". While this will inevitable influence player decisions, explicit meta-gaming is not permitted, (ex. a character knowing the exact location of another character without any means of getting that information)

Thank you, as a player I appreciate it. However it begs the question, did I cheat by knowing stuff about dumbo? Can I just keep playing the card that I looked up profiles before arriving?

Edit: I'll assume I can until told otherwise. If I may reword what you said, I believe the rule could also be stated:

You can know anything you can reasonably and realistically roleplay knowing, at GM's discretion.

I'm going to delay the next turn until tomorrow night just to give some players a chance to post that may have not realized this game had been updated.

(Have all my items been confiscated?)
They have, but they are still under your ownership. The Molotov was a weapon however, and will be used as evidence, so you will not get that back.

You never cheated. I would say something like that, but I know that each player roleplays to a different extent, from very casually to a very immersive level. It can be assumed that all the players know in-universe about the abilities of the other characters, feel free to RP that reason however you want, (i.e. they're informed about all the combatants beforehand, they have some microchip implanted implanted in their head as part of the tournament that keeps them updated on this stuff, etc.)

I like that microchip idea!

Perhaps a game like this can't ever iron things down, but I imagine some agreed upon canon before hand could be used as a sort of "roleplaying" tiebreaker.

Edit: Or even if you still leave it in player's hands to do so in a unique way, it may be good to state the slight recommendation/obligation to come up with a way to know player info, and maybe give some examples.

No problemo, I've been there before. Good luck for the future.

I will check for a jar to put the d-fly in. Checking to see if anything unusual about it has developed(we are sure it came out of the painting?).

Dumbo, how do you feel about me killing this thing? For all we know it could cause your reality to collapse. But, that not being the case, it may give new insight. Feeling lucky?

Edit:

This reminds me of the tribute death cannons and projections in the hunger games. Microchips could be your own spin on it. Why I think its important, is because putting it down exactly how something like that works helps focus the experience and enable players to focus more on the game of fighting surviving, rather than making up that stuff each turn(which no doubt some people will do creatively, but a default privided by OP could be nice).
