Well, he'd probably leave Celine Dion alive, if for no other reason
than to spread misery in the West.  But that's not the question here...

It depends, if the town has come to regard the entire posse as their
protectors then he'll probably take all of 'em out.  Brutally.  Like
blowing off gun-arms and kneecaps and such, but letting them live as
lame, one-armed, blind once-upon-a-time heroes.  If the town would be
more afriad of losing only the one PC then he'll probably just kill her
and string her up by her intestines on the "Welcome to Poplar Bluff,
pop. XXX" sign.
