We follow Grey Owl\/the kid east then north off of the path. \u00a0The terrain gets rockier and more hilly. \u00a0There is a small mining shanty and he fiddles with the lock on the door. \u00a0It is nasty inside, with papers strewn everywhere. They are drawings, some of which we recognize. \u00a0At the center is a drawing of the dragon. \u00a0The kid says it is a manifestation of greed in the area. \u00a0They are primordial evil spirits that live in other realms, but this one has come through to our side. They work through others to undermine communities and make chaos.<\/p>\n
We start poking through the mess and find a map of the mine. \u00a0Grey Owl says that the kid is Seth Fry and he has ability to manipulate energy as well as see \u00a0and document it. \u00a0His father was a famous gunslinger who was killed and his mother relocated to Paradise Falls. \u00a0She died and he went into foster care, but ran away and lived as a thief. \u00a0He was approached by a consciousness and was able to observe and draw what he saw. \u00a0He has some sort of connection to the powers, but because he only watched he was not corrupted.<\/p>\n
We also find a box with a spot for a gun and knife, but they are missing. \u00a0The box is monogrammed with his fathers initials, MF (Merton Fry). \u00a0However the marks left by the weapons look plain, so they must be unadorned. \u00a0 He says the weapons were there when he left the shack last summer. \u00a0 The letter says Merton left Seth the weapons, but that they take a terrible toll. \u00a0We look for some other stuff but find nothing.<\/p>\n
Poker Alice realizes that the Man in Black had a powerful gun that could be one of the missing weapons.<\/p>\n
We take the box for the gun and knife. We head back to town, and on the way Grey Owl explains that our bodies are still in the Hunting Grounds where the dragon is still living. \u00a0The fact that we are still alive means that he has not killed our bodies. \u00a0Grey Owl used his last magic to move us away from there. \u00a0The dragons body does occasionally appear on this plane in the secret chamber in the mind. \u00a0 Grey Owl can get us back there, but needs special herbs and time to complete the ritual. \u00a0We help collect the herbs.<\/p>\n
The blacksmith and Lawrence go back to the shop and get a few more guns, 2 pistols and a shotgun. \u00a0He also makes a battle axe from spare parts, and grenades. \u00a0Poker Alice steals some dynamite from the mine store. \u00a0Glenn Reese has the Poker Boys start gathering the herbs Grey Owl needs. \u00a0Lorelai gets laid. \u00a0Robert Ford goes back and manages his club.<\/p>\n
In the middle of the night we are awakened by commotion on the north end of town. \u00a0It is the Man in Black. \u00a0We run after him and shoot at him. \u00a0The blacksmith hits him with a grenade. \u00a0He shoots and wounds Poker Alice\/Fossar. \u00a0He shoots a burst of flame out of his hand, and Fossar is wounded. \u00a0We all shoot at him again with no effect. \u00a0He guns down Poker Alice, and Lawrence tries to drag to her to safety. \u00a0Maverick hits him with a hammer, which he shakes off. \u00a0Then he slashes Maverick with a vicious looking knife. \u00a0We shoot more with no effect. \u00a0Maverick hits him again but no damage. \u00a0Lawrence keeps pulling Alice to safety, and she is slowly bleeding out. \u00a0Poker Alice dies. \u00a0He slashes the blacksmith one last time, then wheels and charges out of town. \u00a0Maverick hits him with one last grenade, to no effect. \u00a0Jimmy also misses him. \u00a0The only good thing is we confirmed he has the knife and the gun. \u00a0We all head back to the Triple Tap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
