   1. We ride up.
   2. QuiLongWang tries to jump onto the coach.
   3. TheColonel rides up beside the coach.
   4. I cannot get past the coach (bad riding)

   4. …
3. Round
   1. QuiLongWang and TheColonel try to stop the horses.
   2. I make a deal with the devil and Beast Friend the horese.

QuiLongWang gets a letter from the dying man inside the stagecoach, who just says “Showboat” before dying.

Gambling is key
He took my toy
One riot, one ranger

Some riders come up to “help”.

Ask us if we need help. TheColonel seems suspicious of them. We can see some of them are wounded. Tense moments. TheColonel tells them to leave.

Staredown.

1. Round
   1. He tries to scare us off
   2. TheColonel shoots the leader in the head creasing the side of his head.
   3. I throw a card at the leader, killing him.
   4. They break and run.

We check out the bodies, load them up into the coach and head into town.

3 days earlier.

We meet in a saloon (GastonsSaloon). I am gambling, and EmmaSchneider and QuiLongWang approach. I deal her in (passing her a couple of wild cards).

ColonelMorgan walks in, greets and goes to the bar. Puts a bullet on the car and orders a whiskey.

He joins us as we head to somewhere private to talk. Greetings all around.

We take the stagecoach into Sundown, a town of 600 souls.

We head over to the local law office (Marshal, Sheriff?). The Marshal's office seems run down. Three deputy marshals on the porch. Seem pretty thuggish. The Sheriff seems to be living in the offices. He identifies the bodies. The bandit was indeed a bandit.

We take rooms in the best hotel (TheSunsetArms) in town. That's not say much (“Our sheets are washed once a week!”).
