yay

[random980]

"What have we done? Why cant we stay?" asked Red, "Same reason why i made Travis leave, because i'm sick of all these idiots coming into my town and disturbing the peace, i'm sick of outsiders bringing their disruptive problems with them. Now i'm a fair sheriff and there is no sense in locking up people for simply wondering into our town, so i'm giving you and option, leave this town and take your problems with you, or stay and ill charge you for murder." said the sheriff with increasing anger. What if we hunt down Travis for you? asked Alaitoc "Did you not just hear me? I don't want to see his ugly face around here again, i don't care what happens to him, or you for that matter. Just get out of my town already!" growled the sheriff. "Look if you really want to return that much there IS a forgiveness fee... If you know what i mean." "How much 'forgiveness' are we talking about?" asked Red "$200 is enough." Answered the sheriff. "$200!?" repeated Walter in shock. "Your choice if you want to return or not, now stop wasting my time and get out of here!" shouted the sheriff as he turned around rode off through the town.
"Better get going then" Alaitoc said with a sigh. "There is a girl i need to visit first, she can help us." Red said walking off. "Where did Walter go?" asked Alaitoc confused. "He's right here... wait, where is he?"

$200 then, if i can track down Travis i can claim that money easily, then ill FINALLY be able to settle down somewhere, in Littlerock. Walter thought to himself as he rode off, tracking the faint path of horse steps Travis had left behind only a moment ago through the Mojave desert. Smoke! Walter though to himself speeding up. A camp! But its deserted? "Hold it!" said a calm voice. "Travis, i'm just passing through, i'm not here to fight." responded Walter without looking. "Travis!? You know that son of a bitch?" "Wait, who the hell are you?" Walter turned to see who this man really was. He looked strong and was wearing hunting clothes yet it looked like he had recently shaved. "Point that bow somewhere else. I don't know Travis, i just want his head on a spear" Walter said angrily. "Oh, sorry about that, you cant be to sure with the recant amount of head hunting going on. By the way, the names Flint Westwood" " McGee, Walter" "So what do you know about Travis then?" asked Flint. "Not much, we met in Littlerock a while ago, he doesn't seem so tough, so i'm going to hand him into the Hesperia sheriff for a nice reward." Walter responded. "Don't underestimate Travis, I've been following him from even before the Bandit reward was called, He has taken a lot of lives, i saw 5 men enter his hideout, moments later he walks out with a bottle of scotch and a blood stained shirt. Don't how he did it, but no run of the mill bandit is capable of that."

"Here she is!" Red said proudly "I dont see anyone" said Alaitoc confused as Red walks over to a tied down horse, who at the sight of Red, seems to lighten up, "hello Jesse!" Red says with enthusiasm, "Howdy Red" says a scruff voice. "Howdy, ill be taking Jesse now" replies Red "less than a day, that will be 50c Red" says the stable hand (-50c) "Take this horse Alaitoc" Red says handing him the horse left behind by Travis, "What will i do with this donkey then?" asked Alaitoc "How much do ya want for it?" asked the stable hand. "$5 will do, its not worth much to me" Alaitoc responded handing over the donkey. "Only 5!? Ya sure mister? Hot damn the misses will be happy to hear about this one!" The stable hand said with a lot of excitement. (+5$)
"Where you heading to Red?" asked Alaitoc "Im not really sure, i was thinking about hunting down Travis, to pay for a train ticket to visit my family again out east." Red said "Come stay at my place over in Barstow while we track Travis." "Why are you after Travis?" "I'm a mercenary, its my job, plus you payed me to help you for the whole day not just for the 'train ride'." "How are we going to find Travis anyway?" asked Red. "His shack is north west of Barstow, im not fully sure how to get to it, but im sure i can find it..." "again".

"Again, thank you for giving me some of that coyote" Walter said "No worries. Better to make friends out here than enemies" Flint replied. "Now i still think you should help me catch Travis, split the reward. There is no way either of us can catch him alone" Flint continued "No, i want to do this alone, i prefer not to work with strangers" Walter said walking over to his horse" "If you insist on being slaughtered, i wont stop you" Flint said with a chuckle. "A native american tribe has moved in around these parts, i would travel carefully." "Thanks for the warning."
Walter continued riding north after learning the location of Travis's hideout from Flint. Maybe i should ask that Flint guy for help, Walter thought to himself. After all he did say Travis would slaughter me, even if he was being sarcastic. I dont normally trust strangers, in fact i usually kill them, but with native americans around maybe i should get his help. Walters mind hounded itself with questions until Walter just stopped, took a gulp of water from his liquor flask and decided to just make up his mind.

Hope you like it.
Also HUGE cbf on proof reading that text monster, tell me if you spot any errors

[Skunk_Giant]

Remind me to read this tomorrow.

[random980]

Remind me to read this tomorrow.

I sent you a PM anyway. that will jog your memory to read this.

[697134002]

A, and if he refuses then C and D. I have better weapons than him.

[Someguy42]

A, accept his offer if he does. D if he doesn't. Stalk Walter and secretly help him when he needs help. (Killing native americans when they attack walter and not showing himself) Because he'll definitely get slaughtered on his own and prefered to be in a group than on his own.

[Skunk_Giant]

Yeah, I'll say A. If he doesn't wanna go with me, then B.

[697134002]

A, accept his offer if he does. D if he doesn't. Stalk Walter and secretly help him when he needs help. (Killing native americans when they attack walter and not showing himself) Because he'll definitely get slaughtered on his own and prefered to be in a group than on his own.

Looks like you'll be "Secretly" helping me.

[random980]

So what we have is.
Walter:
Go back and get Flints assistance to hunt Travis. if Not Walter will try to kill him and rack his shit, then go after Travis
Flint:
Will accept Walters assistance or stalk Walter if he doesn't ask for help anyway.
Red:
Will Go with Alaitoc to his hideout in Barstow and hunt Travis with or without Alaitoc
Alaitoc:
herpa derp long response time

Its not secret, just a hideout you have in Barstow, its also kind of your 'employment' office. You can have an actual secret hideout somewhere else if you want.
Ill make the next bit tomorrow

[Someguy42]

[random980]

I should make a warning now.
YOUR CHARACTERS ARE NOT INVINCIBLE.

Its possible Walter could die instead. Youre going to have to wait and find out.

Barstow outskirts 1855
"You sure you don't want to wait until the morning, you know have a rest and so on?" Asked Red. "No, follow me."
Replied Alaitoc looking into the distant sandy hills. "Where not even going to stop for a bit of a drink?" said Red confused to which Alaitoc replied with a simple stare. "Alright, lets go then, lead the way." Red responded with a sigh of disappointment.

Mojave desert/bushland 1855
There are just to many threats, ive got no option but ask for his help. Walter thought to himself as he spun around in surprise after hearing a sudden snap in the not to far distance. Walter drew his bow, felt a numbing pain in his neck and slumped to the floor, unconscious.

Near Travis's Hideaway
"Jesse doesn't like riding through this canyon" Red said worryingly. "We are just about out into the open dessert again" Alaitoc replied as the canyon walls suddenly began to widen. As the two stepped onto the top of the sand dune they could see a small light coming from a large shack in the very distance. "Looks like we found our way" Alaitoc said with a grin. "That's Travis's hideout?" Red asked, "It doesn't look like much of a hideout." "There are landmines surrounding this hole area, He has a perfect 360 view of the hole area and has a cellar full of canned food, water and ammunition. Dont underestimate Travis's abilities based on his home."

Native American campsite
Walter woke with 2 shocks, the first was the fact he had woken up in a tepee, the second shock was the sudden head ache that came rushing to his head. Walter could hear chanting from outside. An old Indian woman entered the tent. Who is she!? Walter thought to himself. "Up." The old woman said. Did she just tell me to get up? Walter thought to himself confused. "Hey, stop poking me" Walter said annoyed as he was pushed outside. The first thing Walter saw was a group of Indians dancing around a large campfire with others sitting, watching. The he saw him, Flint. "What the hell is going on!?" Walter asked flint as he sat down next to him. "Bout time the tranquilizer dart wore off" Flint said still watching the dancing "Dont worry Walter, i saw you get captured by my friends so i..." "FRIENDS!?" Walter cut him off "Yeah, friends" Flint said not understanding Walters question. "I followed you back here and explained to Flying Rattlesnake that you were after Travis, they untied you and left you in the tent on the simple mention of 'after Travis'." Flint laughed to himself. "You saw a flying rattlesnake?" Walter slurred still feeling the after effects of the dart. "No, i mean Flying Rattlesnake, the Village chiefs son. "And his friend since we were 12" interrupted a deep smooth voice coming from the man next to Flint. "Peace pipe?" Rattlesnake asked "What is it?" "He just woke from one of your darts, dont offer him a pipe!" Flint said pushing the pipe back towards Rattlesnake. "You are free to leave when you want" Flint said "Travis's hideaway is east of here" Rattlesnake added. "About that. I was thinking of getting your help with finding Travis, i mean you know your way around here better than i do and you also..." Walter was cut off. "We would be glad to aid you on your gurney" Rattlesnake interrupted "I already have yours and our horses packed and ready, lets go!" Flint said eagerly, as they stood up to leave a strong dark hand grabbed Rattlesnakes arm. After a few brief moments Rattlesnake turned to Flint disappointed. "Sorry friend, father has forbidden me to join you this time."
Flint and Walter rode off east, away from safety and towards Travis.

Near Travis's Hideaway
Red followed Alaitoc as they tip-towed and crouched through the open desert field, avoiding the 'suspicious' looking sand mounds on the way. They approached the shack and listened in crouching under an open window.
"So, i grabbed the whore, lifted her onto my shoulders and carried her to the bedroom. Why pay for them when they cant do anything about us not paying anyways!" chuckled voice 1. the room burst into a roar of laughter. "Hurry up Travis! How many beans did you eat!?" shouted a second voice. a flush sounded followed by Travis's voice scratchy voice "Shut up Derek, ok fellas play yar worst hands!" the movement of cards and coins made it obvious to Red they were playing poker. "WHAT!" shouted Travis "Ya filthy cheatin scum! Ya looked at my hand while i was in the toilet, DIDN'T YOU" Travis yelled getting out of his chair, a 3rd female voice giggled "Calm down Travis, Derek isnt worth the energy anyway" another voice laughed. The voice of the second man responded. "Oi! I'm worth everyone's energy!" "Well in that case." Travis said with a sinister voice. There was a loud bang as the sound of a chair hitting the floor came from inside the room followed by a wine bottle smashing through the top half of the window Red and Alaitoc where under. The wine bottle hit a rock, stayed in tacked then bounced into a lump of sand setting of an explosion. "Derek ya yella bellied moron! Now ive gotta see Doc Brown over getting a new mine of his, AND THEY ARE NOT CHEAP!" Voice one yelled, "How was that my fault!?" Derek yelled "Its cause ya didnt let the bottle hit ya! Thats why!" shouted Travis as the room burst out in more drunken laughter.

A small flash followed by a loud rolling boom filled the eyes and ears of Walter and Flint as they peered through some low trees to see a small lump of sand explode in the distance. "What was that!?" Flint asked astonished "I think there's TNT under those sound lumps" Walter replied equally surprised, "Its Travis's defense i heard about" Flint said. "Travis gets these mines from someone named Doc Brown and hides them around the place, now that we know they're poorly hidden we can get up to Travis by surprise" Flint said, sneaking through the start of the mine filled sand.

"Sounds like there are 5 of them" Red said continuing to listen to Travis's Poker game. "Well we cant just jump through the window, we need a distraction" Alaitoc said thinking. "I have an idea, find me a rock."

At that moment as Walter a Flint were sneaking through the end half of the mine field, a mine near by suddenly exploded making Flint and Walter's ring.
"What the fuck? No one threw another bottle at me did they?" Derek asked. "Go look outside Derek" Travis asked cautiously. "Holy SHIT!" Derek shouted "There's two of em! Approaching the shack!" "How'd they get through the mines!?" Travis yelled confused. "Shoot at the mines near em!"
As Derek took a shot, a mine exploded to the left of Walter forcing Flint and Walter to duck into the natural sand pattern for cover.
It was at this moment, while Travis and his goons were distracted with some other people, Alaitoc dived through the lower half of the window, guns blazing in hope it will force Travis to jump for cover, Red Fired through the top half of the window, hitting Derek in the shoulder who was still firing at mines out the door to the forward left of Red. Derek stumbled back shouting in pain "NOT MY FUCKING SHOULDER AGAIN!!!" Derek fell back into a chair putting pressure on his shoulder and fighting back most of the tears.

The mines has stopped exploding, had the man who had been shooting them run out of ammo? Flint wondered peering his head up. Flint and Walter saw gunshots from inside through the open door, the man was no longer at the door, had he been shot? Flint thought to himself still. At this moment, Walter jumped up and started sprinting over the mines, Walter dived and rolled up against the wooden shack walls, shortly followed by Flint. Walter and Flint were now on either side of the open door.

[697134002]

I don't really understand what happened to me. I was shot with a dart?

[Skunk_Giant]

D and B

[Someguy42]

A and B. Also I like how I have connections with the tribe Now lets get Travis >:D

[random980]

I don't really understand what happened to me. I was shot with a dart?

When ever it says dart, think tranquilizer.
You were hit with a tranquilizer dart (blow dart) that Flying Rattlesnake blew at you. As you were being taken back to the Indian tribes camp, Flint stalked spotted you, talked to the tribe (and his friends) about letting you go. On the mention of Travis, they untied you and let him rest in a tepee until you woke.
Flint already had the horses and your equipment ready to go, he was waiting for you to ask him if he could join you on going after Travis.
This wasnt explained but, the tribe doesnt like people walking on their sacred land. This is why you were hit with a dart. (not actual modern tranquilizer dart, but a concoction of herbs and crushed plants that have sleeping properties only known to the natives) Sorry if that was confusing

A and B. Also I like how I have connections with the tribe Now lets get Travis >:D

Well you did used to go hunting with them according to your bio, so i thought why not use it to make a plot device

O shoot the couch then towards the table

O? i wasnt aware O was an option, But seriously, all im going to say is, thank you for making that choice.

[Iron_Fang]
