The Hold

You make you way into the hold. You are surprised by the lack of discipline amongst the crew. Everyone seems to be on deck fighting the Indomitable. Your friends are desperately fighting to buy you the time you need to find the gunpowder. You also know that it is only a matter of time before the defenders are overwhelmed.

Despite the fact that you have never seen blackpowder before you intuitively head to the deepest section of the hold. You open a small door and you step into a very crampt, almost a cupboard of a room. In it you see a couple of small barrels. You open one up and it's full of a black powder. This must be it you think to yourself.

It's pretty bare so you don't find anything of value but you do find several lit lanterns. Not near the gunpowder obviously but a little further down the hall. The room is quite small. It's only about 10 square feet. There's also not much gunpowder. Plenty to blow the bottom out of the ship but not enough to blow the whole thing sky high. Do you lay the trail of gunpowder out of the door?

Que continues to search the vicinity of the place where she found the powder for a few seconds, targeting suspicious-looking bags and chests. She then returns to the trail she had made within the room, drops the lantern at its end, closes the door, and sprints for the main deck.

A split second after you touch the lantern to the blackpowder there is a violent shake, almost like an earthquake, and you are knocked off your feet. The door slams shut. You hear the crashing sounds of barrels and boxes rolling around. You get to your feet, cgeck that the trail of black powder is still burning (it is) and make for the door. It's stuck and won't budge.

What do you do?

Stashed away you find a broken, hand held blackpowder weapon. You think it may function well enough if you were to repair it.

Unfortunately, the room is pretty spartan. Other than two barrels of black powder there isn't anything else that looks useful.

Alas, the door does not budge. Something really heavy is holding the door closed. The trail of blackpowder is extinguished. However, you know that it's only a matter of time before your comrades, and the sailors are overwhelmed by the pirates.

If only you'd paid more attention to your studies. You think. You're sure a bear could break down the door.

What do you do?

You are not proficent with black powder weapons but you can see that the wooden stock and the metal barrel are slighty out of alignment. It would probably take a little less than an hour to realign the barrel. Everything else looks fine.

You give the weapon a quick once over. The flint seems to be working fine. This will allow you to light the fuse very easily. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be anything else inside that appears to be useful.

You give the door a hell of a shove and you feel it give a little. The door cracks open about a foot. Looking through the gap you can see stacks of crates and barrels have pushed up against the door
You could probably fit a small container of gunpowder behind the door but you're not sure if:
(A) It's safe to do so as the storage room is very small so the margin for error is tight.(B) if there will be enough gunpowder left to blow up the ship if you use some of it to blow up the door.What do you do?

The resulting explosion rocks the ship and fills the room with dust and smoke. Your eyes and throat sting for a moment but as your vision slowly clears and there is a massive hole where the door once stood. It has been completely cleared out. You can see a passage out of the hold leading back up to the main deck. There is still some blackpowder left but you're not sure if there's enough to blow up the ship.What do you do?

Que rushes to the top of the deck and sees the Indomitable limping away. Your friends are currently recovering from the recent explosion of black powder. The signs of battle are dying down.
