WOLM2: Part 4


*3:42 PM, just outside Fort Legorado...*
Gen. Harick: So tell me, my old friend, what have you been doing these past years?
Gen. Scheck: Well, starting in '69 I was transferred to the Black Hills region in the Northern Territories. The government suspected that the Sioux would start acting up, and boy were they right.
Gen. Harick: Indeed...


Major Hamman: Sir! I just recieved word that GK's scouting party sent out by Whitescarver has been ambushed by Xerxes Fett and his men!
Gen. Harick: WHAT?! Survivors, were there any survivors?!
Major Hamman: No sir, they were all killed. We encountered Sheriff Drake nearby, he informed us of what happened. As we speak he is attempting to gather a pose to chase after Xerxes.
Gen Harick: But what about Whitescarver? Where's he?
Major Hamman: I...I don't know sir....I never thought about that...
Gen. Harick: There is an outpost not to far away from where he last was, perhaps he went there to seek refuge. Gather up the troops Major, it looks like I was wrong about Xerxes, we're heading out to find Whitescaver and then that dog Xerxes... Care to join me, Caleb?
Gen. Scheck: Of course! It'll be just like old times, my friend...


George Badman: That's enough water for him, we don't want to drown him, now do we? Now you, uh...what was your name again?
Jeb Crane: Crane. Jebediah Crane.
George Badman: Oh, well, Jeb, mind telling me that story now? I'm very interested in it...
Jeb Crane: Well you see, it all happened about a month ago, when we miners went on strike for more pay...


*flashback*

Giovanni: Boss, I'm telling you, I just can't get them workers to mine anymore! Ever since Tom died in that cave in they've wanted more money!
Boss Blake: I TOLD YOU, they ain't getting ANY more PAY!!!
Giovanni: But they have their families to take care of!
Boss Blake: I never used that as an excuse to go on strike! For fifteen years I worked in mines of Arizona and I never complained, never, not once. Even when I lost my left eye, I didn’t complain. So you can go tell them that they can either find some gold in that mine or they're all FIRED!!!


Chief Miner Jake: So how did it go?
Giovanni: How do think? You either work or your fired.
Chief Miner Jake: Argh! I guess this is too far west for the Knight’s of Labor’s influence… If I ever get my hands on that son of a...
Boss Blake: What in tarnation are you yacking out there for! GET TO WORK!!!
Giovanni: You forgot he had his window open...again. Come on, I'll even go in with you this time.
Chief Miner Jake: Thanks, Gio... Come on men, let's get to work!
Miners: *grumble grumble*


*1.3 hours later, deep in the mine, on level 6...*
Miner: Ugh, this air compressor is heavy...
Miner 2: Well at least it's better than having to drill into solid rock with our bare hands...
Miner 3: Hey Jeb, why do always wear that bandanna in the mine? You trying to look like a bandit?
Jeb Crane: Well, the air down here kinda makes me feel not too good…I don’t know…
Miner 3: HA! Jeb’s a sissy! He can’t even handle air!
Miners: *laughter*


Chief Miner Jake: It's right up ahead, Gio.
Giovanni: Ya...I think I see it.


Chief Miner Jake: OK Sam, give me 350 PSI, this rock is gonna be tough...All right everyone, stand back! *drill noises*


*43 minutes later...*
Chief Miner Jake: Hey, what the? This isn't rock?! It looks like....wood? Hey Gio, come take a look at this!


Giovanni: By golly...that is wood...what is it doing here?
Chief Miner Jake: Maybe there used to be a crevice and some trees fell down in here...
Giovanni: No...look at it. It's wood planks, this isn't natural.
Chief Miner Jake: Well, what do you want me to do?
Giovanni: What Boss said, keep drilling.


*Eight minutes later...*

*VRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.....EEEEEEEEEE*

Chief Miner Jake: What the?! It's hollow?!
Giovanni: Look through the hole! What do you see!?
Chief Miner Jake: I...I can't see anyhing....it’s too dark. Hey, get Frank over here, he has good night vision.


Chief Miner Jake: What do you see Frank?
Miner Frank: I can't...wait...oh my... *gasp*
Giovanni: Well?! What is it?!
Miner Frank: *cough cough, wheeze*


Giovanni: Frank! Something's wrong with him! He's....dead....
Chief Miner Jake: What?! Dead?!!
Giovanni: No wait, he's breathing. Well whatever he saw was enough to give him quite a start... Jeb! Go get the Boss and tell him we found something!


Jeb Crane: *grumble* Why do they always have to send me to the Boss....and just when we actually find something...


Jeb Crane: Hey Bos-
Boss Blake: WHY in tarnation are you wearing that RIDICULOUS bandanna over your mouth!?!?
Jeb Crane: Well, I wear it because-
Boss Blake: Did you come in here to tell me something interesting or just to waste my time?!?!
Jeb Crane: *mumbling* you asked me a question...
Boss Blake: What was that?!
Jeb Crane: We found something in the mine!
Boss Blake: Huh, didn't sound like you said that....well anyways, what did you find?
Jeb Crane: Well...uh...I don't know what it was...
Boss Blake: YOU WHAT!?!?! YOU'RE FIR-
Jeb Crane: But whatever it was it was enough to make Frank faint!!!
Boss Blake: What? It made Frank faint? Hmmm, must be something valuable...show me it, NOW!!!


Boss Blake: What are you just standing there for miner! MOVE IT!!!
Miner: Ye...ye.. yes sir!
Giovanni: Down here, Boss!


Boss Blake: EH!? I can't see a blamed thing! Drill it down, boys!


*a few minutes later*

Boss Blake: NOW let's see what's in...HOLY- *gasp*


Giovanni: Boss! What is- oh my...
Chief Miner Jake: I don't believe it...
Jeb Crane: Will somebody move! I can't see anything!
Chief Miner Jake: *cough cough* What is that? *gasp*


Giovanni: *wheeze* GAS!!!!
Jeb Crane: Huh?!!


Giovanni: NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!


Giovanni: Ugh...*gasp, wheeze*


Jeb Crane: *to himself* I gotta get out of here...I gotta get out of here!!!
Frank: ugh....Jeb....Jeb!


Frank: Don't leave me to die Jeb! I don't want to die! I don't-

*KABOOM!!!!!!!!*


*back in the present*

*KABOOOOM!!!!!!!!!*

Outlaw: What was that?!
George Badman: That must be Clank signaling that Bart is back...Well anyways, who survived?
Jeb Crane: *shivers* I alone survived...
George Badman: Hey wait a minute....how do you know that there's $300,000 in gold? You said you never say what it was!
Jeb Crane: Well...I saw something glittering, and I saw a lot of it...
George Badman: Well all that glitters is not gold my friend....but I got a hunch that you're right. Can you take us to this mine?
Jeb Crane: Well....I don't really know to get there....I know where it is though. Ever heard of Calaveras County?
George Badman: The mine at Calaveras County?!!? The old hoot who ran the place said that there wasn't anything in the mine! The liar!
Jeb Crane: Yep, that'd be my boss, or, former boss....
George Badman: Well, let's be off!!


*At a US Army outpost...*

Col. Whitescarver: So are you sure you know how to get there now?
Blacksnake Bob: Ya ya, of course I know...
Col. Whitescaver: Good, so go secure the area, and wait for me. Now get going!
Blacksanke Bob: All right boys, you heard the Colonel, let's go! Yee haw!!


Col. Whitescarver: Incompetent fools...they'll probably get lost...
Lieutenant Matlik: Well let's hope not. When are we leaving?
Col. Whitescarver: As soon as the supplies I want arrive, they should be here by tomorrow morning.


*meanwhile*

Xerx: So where exactly are we going again?
Scorp: The mine at Calaveras County.
Xerx: Do you know how to get there?
Scorp: Uh, no.
Xerx: *sarcasm* Oh, well that's just great...


James Hurst: Calaveras County? I know where that is! I could take us there...except I don't have my guns!!
Delu: Well why don't you go get your precious guns back at the town and I'll take them to Calaveras County. I actually know how to get there.
James Hurst: Are you saying I don't know how to get there?
Delu: No....
Scorp: Look, why don't you just go get you guns back and you can meet us there.
James Hurst: Good idea, assuming Delu knows how to get there...
Xerx: JUST GO!!!


*Near the outskirts of Legoredo...*

Sheriff Drake: *sigh* I don't think letting them get away was such a good idea...
Deputy Chris Smith: Well, at least you told the Army about it. They'll be after them now.
Sheriff Drake: But still...if only those other sheriffs weren't out getting drunk...they better not still be drunk when we get back...


Sheriff Wyatt West: Drake! There you are! We came as fast as could!
Sheriff Drake: You mean as fast as you could get sober? Come on! Let's get going before you get drunk again! Last I saw Xerxes and his men headed this way...


Scorp: Well at least that's over with...
Delu: I must admit Xerxes, you have quite a way of expressing your feelings.
Xerx: Ahem! So…how far exactly is it?


Delu: That depends on what route you take. You can take the long, winding route, up and down a few switchbacks; or you can take the route we're going to take.
Xerx: Which is?
Delu: On the Colorado River. It will save us quite a few hours, assuming all goes well.
Xerx: There's one problem with that. We don't have a boat.
Delu: I have...


Delu: ...connections. Wait here.
Xerx: Hey Scorp, what's stranger: Delu or the people she knows?
Scorp: I don't know, I just don't know...


Xerx: What do you think she is saying?
Scorp: I don't know this tribe very well... But hopefully she's saying something that will get a us a boat, and not something that will get us killed.


Xerx: Always the pessimist...
Scorp: I like to consider myself a "realist..."
Delu: All right, we can go.
Xerx: Did you get us a boat?
Delu: No, I got you a canoe.


Delu: Xerx, you can start filling up the canoe with our supplies.
Xerx: Always a pleasure… *rolls eyes*
Scorp: And the horses...
Delu: It's all been taken care of. My Indian friends will take the long route and meet us there tomorrow with our horses..
Scorp: But can they be trusted?
Delu: They're some old friends of mine, plus they know what happens if they don't keep their word.
Scorp: Well let's hope your reputation stands strong...


Xerx: Aaahhh. nothing feels better than to finally take off this backpack!
Scorp: What do you keep in their anyways?
Xerx: Oh, you know, stuff like ammunition, dynamite, Jim Bowie knife, scissors...


Xerx: …binoculars, sleeping bag, jerky, compass...
Scorp: Uh ya, I see, you can sto-
Xerx: Oh, let's not forget the lantern, a few pocketknives, one of which is from Switzerland, and then there's the...
Scorp: Delu, do you want to do the honors?
Delu: No, go ahead.
Xerx: Oh, and my personal favori-YEEEEEEEOOOOW!!!!!!!!


*Early the next morning…*

Ascalon: Ah, there is the mine.
Krysten: So are we going to be doing what we usually do?
Ascalon: Of course, just like always. Wait, there are people coming. Switch to plan B.
Krysten: Got it.


Man: Oh, that's wonderful! Keep it right there, this picture will be worth hundreds of dollars!


George Badman: Well, well, well, what have we here?
Man: Oh, hello. We're just a few tourists taking some pictures, in fact we wouldn't taking one of you if you don't min-
George Badman: Get them boys.


Man: But, you have no right!
George Badman: Silence! You're nosing around on important property, and I don't like them. Tie them up, now. Oh, you might as well tie up Jeb with them, I don’t think I’ll be needing him anymore.


Outlaw: Hehe, check it out Boss! Can I take a picture, can I?
George Badman: Shut up and do what I told you, or I'll tie you up with them. Fire Cloud, position your warriors on the southern side of the mine. Bart, booby trap the entire mine, and search for good defensive positions. Clank, your sniper position will be up in that butte; and this time I'll go with you to make sure no one knocks you out again.
Chief Fire Cloud: No, I wish to meet this enemy. Let me go with Clank, for I hunger for battle.
George Badman: If you want to, go right ahead. All right boys, let's make this quick!


*At the US Army outpost...*

Col. Whitescarver: Where are those supplies?! How am I supposed make a defensive network if I don't have gatling guns!? Incompetent fools...
Lietenant Matlik: Sir! Someone approaches!
Col. Whitescarver: Is it the supplies?
Lietenant Matlik: Yes...but...there are others....it looks like....General Harick?
Col. Whitescarver: WHAT!? No!


Gen. Harick: Well good morning Colonel.
Col. Whitescarver: Ahem, and the same to you, General. But, why exactly are you here?
Gen. Harick: Oh, we were just looking for you, I didn't know why someone like you would just disappear into thin air. *chuckle*
Col. Whitescarver: *gulp* Well...
Gen. Harick: But I'm glad I found you, for I had feared you were killed by that traitor Xerxes and his friends. But now that you're found, I thought maybe we go off looking for Xerxes and bring him to justice for what he did to GK and his scouting party.
Col. Whitescarver: Yes...yes, of course we should. *to himself* Perhaps I can make this work to my advantage... *to Harick* Well, I received information that there are a few bandits near Calaveras County, I'm sure Xerxes and his ilk went to seek refuge with them.
Gen. Harick: I wouldn't be surprised. Well, let us be off then!


Xerx: *singins* Oh what a beautiful MORNING, ooh what a beautiful day....I got a-
Scorp: Do I have to hit you again?
Xerx: *cringes* No...I'm still sore from the last time thank you...


Delu: All right, this is where we get off. We'll have to travel the few remaining miles on foot. Now I will warn you, there are some hostile Indians in this territory.


Scorp: Oh, what tribe?
Delu: They call themselves the mohaqk tribe, they can be identified by their dyed, spiked hair. They're also quite violent.
Xerx: Hey, does anybody hear anything?


Jade and Ryan: AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
Indian: WHAAAAAAAAWOOP WOOP!!!!!!!!!


Scorp: Get down!
Ryan: Huh?!
Scorp: GET DOWN!!


*shotgun blast*

Xerx: Wow...that was kinda gross.
Scorp: Messy but good, that's what describes my shotgun.


Jade: Hey! Wait it a minute! It's Xerxes!
Ryan: Get him!
Delu: Na, ah ah!
Xerx: Ooooh, no you don't!
Scorp: Hmm.... this Indian looks more like a Polynesian islander than a Native American...interesting...
Delu: More of them!


Scorp: Ergh...
Xerx: Eat lead indian!
Jade: Give me Xerxes...
Delu: No, you're staying right here.


Ryan: Whoa.
Scorp: You will not...
Delu: Get back! *pushes Jade to the ground*
Jade: OOF!


Scorp: ...succeed.
Xerx: Hey! What the-
Ryan: Give me an angle!


Xerx: Eragh! *kicks Indian*
Ryan: There we go... *blam blam*
Scorp: Heh, we make a great team Delu.
Delu: Yes, indeed. Oh, what?! My katana is scratched!


Xerx: Thanks frie- hey....
Ryan: Drop the gun, and put your hands up.
Jade: All right, drop your weapons. Both of you.
Delu: You...took...my...katana...


*blam blam*

Ryan: Ow!
Jade: My hand!
James Hurst: He he! Yee haw!
Scorp: Hmmm...


Xerx: Now you can put YOUR hands up.
Ryan: *gulp*
Delu: NO ONE takes my katanna!
Jade: Eee, he he...
James Hurst: See! I told you I could get here!
Scorp: You're late.
James Hurst: Late? LATE?! I come and save your hides and you say I'm late? I nearly rode my horse to death trying to get here!


*thump!*

Scorp: Correction: you did ride your horse to death.
James Hurst: Argh!


Scorp: All right, here's the deal. You can either be good and try to kill us or Xerxes, or we'll kill you right now.
Jade: NEVER!
Ryan: What?!
Delu: Actually, I propose that we tie them up and swing by the indians camp, I'm sure they could use some company. I hear that they just love having guests over for dinner.
Ryan: Um...Jade...let's just forget about this whole Xerxes thing...I don't think it's worth it.
Jade: Errgh.....fine!
Xerx: Ok, now that we're all friends-
Jade: *cough cough*
Xerx: -we should get going, especially before those injuns get back.


Xerx: Scorp! Lead the way!
Scorp: You think I know how to get there?
Xerx: Let's hope so...
James Hurst: I know how to get there.
Scorp: Not again...


Outlaw: There, I did them up.

*in the background*

Jeb Crane: Why did you tie me up?!!
Krysten: How dare you tie a woman up!!!

George Badman: Fool! You're supposed to gag them too!!
Outlaw: *grumble grumble*


Bart: I rigged up the entrance of the mine to collaspe. When enough people walk over the trigger, it will collaspe. That way nobody else can come in after us.
George Badman: And just why did you do that? Won't it collaspe on us?
Bart: Well, the trigger is at the end of the entrance of the cave, so we should all be in by the time it collaspes.
George Badman: Well why did you make it so that only a lot of people can trigger it?!
Bart: Becuase we'll all be going in...right?
George Badman: No, not we're all dead. Go rig so that only one person can trigger it.


Chief Fire Cloud: Our scouts have run into some bandits, they were heading towards the south side of the mine. I have sent my horse warriors under Limping Horse to do battle with them.
George Badman: Enemies already? Blast... Bart, move our men into defensive positions. Looks like the battle will start early...


Blacksnake Bob: What?! More Injuns!? Argh! What was I thinking when I agreed with Whitescarver... Come on boys, let's show them what we're made of!


*Steve "Rattlesnake" Austin shoots the horse of one Indian, while Blakesnake Bob knocks an Indian of his horse and another bandit shoots another Indian*

*An Indian shoots a bandit, and another one spears a bandit's horse, causing the bandit to fall unconscious to the ground*


Blacksanke Bob: Die, redskin!


*An Indian skewers Steve "Rattlesnake" Austin's horse*

*Blacksnake Bob grabs an Indian's gun and shoots him, and a bandit jumps off his horse to dodge a barrage of arrows from Limping Horse*


*An Indian rushes at Steve "Rattlesnake" Austin with his tomahawks, while Limping Horse jumps at a bandit*

Blacksanke Bob: Heh, there's one less Indian...


*Steve "Rattlesnake" Austin jams the butt of his rifle the Indian's neck, crushing his throat, and the unconscious bandit groggily awakens...*

*Limping Horse slams his shield into the bandit, breaking his nose and a few ribs*


*Limping Horse slits the throat of the bandit...*

*The formerly unconscious bandit shoots Limping horse in the back of the head, while Blacksnake Bob shoots the last remaining Indian*


Blacksanke Bob: You know, I'm starting to have second feeling about this. It seems that whenever we do something Whitescaver tells us to do it's always in the heat of battle. So I think we're going to go to the opposite way.


Blacksnake Bob: Come on, let's get out of here before we get ambushed again!


Outlaw: Incoming!!
George Badman: All right boys, this is it!

Gen. Harick: Are those people over there?
Gen. Scheck: They must be the those bandits Colonel Whitescarver was talking about.
Gen. Harick: Men, defensive positions!


Chief Fire Cloud: Fire my son, let the ground swell and stench with the enemies blood...

*BLAM*


US Army Soldier: AAAHHH!!
Gen. Harick: Get that gatling gun operational Lieutenant!


Col. Whitescarver: What's all the commotion going on?!
Lieutenant Matlik: We ran into some bandits up ahead, they've seem to have barricaded themselves into an abandoned mine.
Col. Whitescarver: WHAT?!? Those fools!! Argh!
Lieutenant Matlik: I'm going to flank them with our other gatling gun, maybe we can keep them pinned until reinforcements arrive.


*vrrrrrrrr....pop pop pop pop pop pop pop*

Gen. Scheck: Do you think you can keep their heads down long enough for us to rush them?
Lieutenant: I don't know if we have enough men to rush them sir, there's too many of them!


Blacksanke Bob: Whitescarver?! What are you doing here?
Col. Whitescarver: What am I doing here?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING THERE!?!?! You were supposed to have taken that position already!
Blacksnake Bob: They got here before us! We tried, but there were too many of them!
Col. Whitescarver: Well maybe if you hadn't gotten LOST on the way you might have beaten them!!
Blacksnake Bob: How did you know we got lost?
Col. Whitescarver: Nevermind that, just get over to the other side and rush them, and I'll come from the other side. That way we'll get them from three sides. Now hurry up, before I change my mind and report you to the Army that's right next to me.


Blacksnake Bob: Come on, you heard the Colonel! Let's go!
Col. Whitescarver: Idiots...
Lieutenant Matlik: Were you talking to me Colonel?
Col. Whitescarver: No...keep firing...


Gen. Harick: Drake! What a surprise to see you here!
Sheriff Drake: Yes, we were on the hunt for Xerxes when we heard gunshots, we came as fast as we could, and it turned out to be you. Is there any way we could be of assistence?
Gen. Harick: Yes, actually there is. Over there there are some bandits that have barricaded themselves in. We suspect Xerxes Fett is with them, so if you wouldn't mind joining us, I think we can take them.
Sheriff Drake: I'd be obliged, General.


Scorp: Wait, did you just hear gunshots? Hand me your binoculars Xerxes.


Scorp: Hmmm... It seems our friends the Outlaws have barricaded themselves into the mine, which happens to be the mine that we want.
Delu: That will complicate matters.
Scorp: Yes...It also appears that our other good friends the army have encountered them. And...it looks like there's someone on the nearby butte, wait, maybe two people.
Delu: Probably my good friend the sniper and George Badman.
Xerx: Hey Scorp, let me see those binoculars, I think I see someone familiar...


Xerx: Yes...it's him.
Scorp: Who?


Xerx: Whitescarver.


Gen. Harick: Colonel!
Col. Whitescarver: Yes General?
Gen. Harick: Sheriff Drake and his posse have volunteered to help us crush the opposition. The plan is for us to rush them with our full strength, and knock them out.
Col. WHitescarver: Hmm, would it be better if General Scheck had a party that would attack from the left, our party from the right, while our gatling gun operators give us covering fire?
Gen. Harick: Hmm, a two pronged attack...it will split our forces, but you're right; it probably will be better.


*Meanwhile...*

Scorp: Ok, here's the plan. Xerx and I will sneak in from behind their barricade; Delu and Ryan, you're going to take out the sniper, and whoever else is up there on that butte. Jade and James, you'll be taking out anyone you see as a threat, which is....everyone. Everybody got it? Now as soon as we do this we'll try to sneak into the mine without being seen. A friend of mine should already be waiting inside, and will make sure nobody else gets in.
Xerx: A friend?
Scorp: I'll explain later. All right, now let's do it!


Blacksanke Bob: DIE YOU CURSED REDSKINS!!!!

*BLAM BLAM BLAM*


Gen. Harick: Colonel, you'll bring up the rear. Now on my mark...one...two...three...


Gen. Harick: CHAAAAAAAARGE!!!!!!!!!!!


Gen. Scheck: GOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!


Chief Fire Cloud: Stop. Someone approaches. Ah, well well well, if it isn't the Little Girl with Flaming Hair, we meet again.
Delu: Fire Cloud? It is almost a pleasant surprise to see you here.
Chief Fire Cloud: It is a great honor to see you face to face again, and it will be an even greater honor to finally see your head struck up on my spear for all to see!


*Clanky swings the butt of his rifle, knocking Ryan off his feet. Delu moves in with her katanas*


*Ryan responds by filling Clanky with 4 bullets in the chest, while Delu stabs Fire Cloud in the stomach*


Delu: You all right?
Ryan: I got the wind knocked out of me for a second, but I think I'm good...I may have a few bruised ribs...
Delu: Good, let's get back down to the others, they may need us...


Gen. Scheck: GAAHH!!

*General Harick's horse gets shot down, and pins him*

Gen. Harick: OOF!!


Blacksnake Bob: I'll kill you!! I'LL KILL YOU ALL!!!!
Steve "Rattlesnake" Austin: What's his problem...


*George Badman stabs a soldiers and shoots Sheriff Drake*

George Badman: This is getting intense, I'd better get into mine before it's too late!


Gen. Harick: Whitescarver! Help! *gasp* I'm pinned underneath my horse...I can hardly breath! *cough cough*
Col. Whitescarver: Ha! Are you kidding? I've waited to long for this moment! Say goodbye to the world, General.
Gen. Harick: Whitescarver?! You... coward...


*BLAM*

Col. Whitescarver: Now to get to that mine...


Xerx: Hey look, it's Jeb!
Jeb Crane: Mmmuph jumpghrumopgh!!
Xerx: What'd he say?
Scorp: Probably something along the lines of of "Untie me."
Xerx: Got it. Let's give this saber a workout...


George Badman: Let's hope Bart was able to fix that trigger...


Bart: Are ya yellow sheriff? HAHA!! Eat this!

*BLAM BLAM*


*BLAM*

Col. Whitescarver: Die you outlaw scum...


Col. Whitescarver: I gotta get in that mine...


Jade: Look! There's one! Get 'em!

*BLAM BLAM BLAM BLAM*

James Hurst: Score!
Jade: What are you talking about, that was so my shot that killed him!


James Hurst: Huh?! What do you mean?! I'm the fastes shot in the west!
Jade: That doesn't mean you're the most accurate shot in the west...
James Hurst: Are you saying tha-


Delu: Stop bickering; we need to get going.


Xerx: There ya go.
Jeb Crane: Thank you...
Ascalon: You were a bit late Saber Scorpion; I expected better.
Scorp: You try the best you can with so many people slowing you down.
Ascalon: True, true...
Xerx: Uh, you guys know each other?
Ascalon: Yes, but there is no time to waste! Quick, into the mine!


Delu: You really think we slip in unnoticed?
Ryan: Let's just be hopeful, I mean, who's going to notice nine people walking into a mine, especially when they're trying to kill each other?
Delu: Hmm...


* 47 seconds later, the roof collapses*

Steve "Rattlesnake" Austin: Wow, am I the only one who survived?


Sheriff Wyat West: You wish. Put your hands in the air! You're under arrest!
Steve "Rattlesnake" Austin: Oh, debnabit...


James Hurst: Was the roof supposed to collapse back there? I'm starting to have second thought about all this...
Xerx: So you mind telling me how you two know each other now?
Ascalon: Oh, yes of course...


Ascalon: Allow me to introduce myself, I am Ascalon, and this is my colleague Krysten. We work with the Pinkertons, and I'm sure you've all heard about them...
Ryan: Oh, were you one who cracked the Lancaster Murder Case in New York?
Krysten: Yes, that would be us.
Ascalon: But about a month ago we received word about a mine worth approximately $300, 000 in gold, but it turns out the actual value may be higher... Rumor had it that only one man knew the location, and I hired the service of Saber Scorpion to find that man. That man was Jebediah Crane. He found him in hiding, got the mine's location from him, and passed the information onto me. Last I heard Jeb was working for a farmer down a few miles from Calaveras County.
Xerx: So...you're the guy behind all this?
Ascalon: In part, yes.
Krysten: While I was tied, I noticed two people slip into the mine. One was an outlaw, whereas the other was an Army officier, a colonel if the rank does not mistake me.
Scorp: So we are not alone.... If we want to get the loot and survive, we must plan this carfully. Any plans, Ascalon?


Ascalon: I propose that Krysten, I, and a few others remain behind in order to ensure that no one escapes.
James Hurst: In case you didn't notice the entire ROOF collapsed back there, there is no way in high heaven that someone is going to get out.
Jeb: Actually, there is an alternate exit through the office, it's just a bit hard to find.
Delu: Well, I might as well stay behind just to keep you company.
James Hurst: I need someone who won't argue with me, so I guess I'll stay behind also...
Jade: Are you inferring-
Scorp: Good. We're set, now let's go...
