Hmmm.

Hmmmmmmmmmm.....

Are there any support posts or anything around? If so, I'd like to tie her to one and dig where I think Billy's head is.

You tie her up to a beam just outside the walkway. She assures you that you don’t have to do that *I ain’t got nowhere to go anyways! I want my share of the money!*

You make your way through the dark passage and begin to claw at the dirt with your bare hands....

<heads back into Pinkerton office and goes in the restroom (ignoring the fact that this is the old west and probably doesn't have one yet lol) 

Looks around to see who all is in there >

@Dome

It’s just you and Steele in the restroom together. Which in the Wild West could potentially be a crime.

The dirt should be fairly loose since it just collapsed recently. If I need to I'll take one of my daggers and use it to break up the dirt.

After a bit of digging you find a hat sticking out of the dirt. You pull on it and pieces of flesh and hair stick to it. You find ten $1 bills rolled up and stuffed into the interior lining.

I will quietly pocket $8.

"There's only $2 here. We can split it."

I'll hand her $1. I'll leave her tied up but I'll take her off the post and we'll head out of the church.

You lead her out of the church, hands tied in front of her. You’re at the front doors, just outside.

The three of you are now in the men’s restroom.

@Malfatron @The Orca @Pickle Rick

*While waiting in the restroom I pull out my tomahawk and start tapping the handle against the wall.

Tap......tap.......tap......tap......tap.....

Abruptly stopping in mid tap, "Trust, that's something we as a gang, no, a family should have.  We trust one another with our lives.  Trust is something that takes time to earn.  But once it is earned it serves as the foundation of a strong relationship.  Now, when someone erodes that foundation because of something juvenile and so down right stupid it really is unbelievable, well there are consequences." 

Pauses and turns to face Steele @Malfatron, "Let's look at Grace, she had her boyfriend murder her brother because he was gonna tell her ma and pa that they were seeing each other.  That is something so stupid that it is beyond comprehension.  Now Grace is gonna have to live with the guilt and demons for the rest of her days.  It's gonna eat away at her every morning she wakes up, every night she goes to bed.  She will have nightmares, she won't even be able to have a moments peace until she can repent and make make things right, but you know, you can't make something right.  To make something right would require going back in time and changing the decisions that ultimately led to the her making the worst decision of her life."

Pauses again this time to place the blade of the tomahawk on Steele's shoulder while speaking, "Now some will say that Grace should be swinging from the gallows to make her pay for her crime, but what would that really do.  Will that being back Floyd? Will that bring back Billy? Will that help make Grace the sweet innocent girl again in her parents eyes? No, what's done is done and the ultimate punishment is for her to live every day of her life knowing that her misguided, adolescent mind caused the deaths of the man she loved and her brother whom she also loved.  Two loved ones gone because of a stupid, petty, thoughtless, decision she made on a whim. "

Completely stops talking and turns my back to Steele, "There really is only thing that will ease those demons for Grace now, only one thing that will let her mind rest easy."

Spins and throws the Tomahawk up against the wall opposite everyone.  

"A man's word is all he truly has in this world.  It's what he can control.  He shouldn't give it out lightly and he damn sure better not break it because once he does he isn't a man anymore, he just exists but without a purpose.  So I'm giving you my word, right here and right now, I will forever search for the men that murdered my family and slaughtered my village.  I will make them suffer the same fate as Grace, if they resist then well, I have 13 scalps that show you what happens then."

Walks over and pulls out the tomahawk from the wall, "Now we are here in this God forsaken place because I learned that a man who may have been at my village was headed to this town.  All I know is this man is supposed to be larger than most human beings and he towered over my people.  I will find this man before my time on this earth is over and will do what needs to be done."

Looks at Steele and Takara, "I thought you should both know why I have brought us here to this town.  I hear some footsteps, let's get this job done."

The man outside the restroom hears the tomahawk sink into the wall. His footsteps stop right outside the door.

*Uhhhhhh, should I come back later?*

 

[Also in case you guys didn’t notice, @bucsfan333 got you guys a house, should this adventure continue after the game trial]

@Malfatron @Pickle Rick @The Orca

*leaves the restroom and passes the man outside, "My apologies sir I saw a damn Mosquito and had to kill it.  Those things are dangerous. The restroom is all safe now, you have a mighty fine day"*

I'll escort her to the sheriff. Assuming the short trip is uneventful, once we get into the cop shop, I'll hand the end of the rope to the sheriff.
