Salt of the Earth

by Mark Spain

The match blazed to life, illuminating the sun-leathered face. "There's sumthin' out there... Out on the Flats." Smoke billowed around the old Prospector's face as he shot the last of his whiskey. "Sumthin' unnatural." The words hung in the air as the piano ceased it's song. "I won't be goin' back out again."

A burst of heat and sand swirled into the saloon as the doors were pushed open. "Ah, you're here, I see," the newcomer said, taking the Prospector's now-empty chair. "Shall we discuss my proposal?"

Inspiration: Watch Deadwood, Wild Bill, Pale Rider, Unforgiven, and especially Tombstone......... oh, and Young Guns I & II, but only if you really want to.

A single session Deadlands game for 4 to 6 players, willing to risk their immortal souls.
