Frontier Scum, Scene I: The Purple Belt Saloon

[Sly Boots]

That sorted, a now disgruntled but clear-headed Doc Scrote leaves the saloon, the dependable Jinx at his heels, and goes to mount up on his far-less dependable donkey Mr Teeth.

[Wrathbone]

Think we’re ready to saddle up and head out?

There is some grumbling and cussing as the woozy Cadaver Kid struggles to get on Horace.

[Stormbringer]

Is Doc Scotum gonna offer some of his detoxing snake oil to the Cadaver Kid, or is Cadaver Kid happy to carry on being drunk?

[Wrathbone]

I'll be fine, I assume this is my typical state and the others get concerned if I completely sober up.

[Stormbringer]

Very well. The four of you leave the Purple Belt, saddle up on your stolen mounts, and head south for Horsehead Ranch.

[Stormbringer]

This music plays in the background while you traverse through the city, while passers-by watch you ride out.

[Mantis]

Parcheval calls out to the group as they ride.

"Might I suggest we dismount a short distance from our quarry and take shelter off track to observe the lay of the land? I don't see no good in riding right up and knockin' on the front door when we're dealin' with these nefarious types."

[Sly Boots]

Doc Scrote nods his consent, semi-occupied with Mr Teeth's continued efforts to veer off the intended path to chew on patches of dry grass.

[Wrathbone]

"I hear ya. We'll get a good look, form a plan, maybe draw 'em out somehow."

Incidentally, with my list of wanted outlaws, would I know if the Loudmouths are wanted dead or alive (and if so, is there a higher reward for one over the other)?

[Stormbringer]

Cadaver Kid checks his list of outlaws.

Turns out Tantrum Tammy is wanted DEAD for UNIONISED MURDER.

Despite what the bartender said (does this guy know anything?), turns out the reward for her death is $240.

Mumblin' Manny is wanted DEAD OR ALIVE for HIRED THEFT, reward: $140.

Ramblin' Randy is wanted DEAD OR ALIVE for UNIONISED ROBBERY, reward: $200.

[Animalmother]

"Gentlemen. Might I suggest we forgo our erstwhile endeavour until a later hour? It will obscure our intentions to the vagabonds within and facilitate a more advantageous outcome of the proceedings."
