Wohn heads over to the Express office, to find what his job for-the-day is.
You enter the office. It'a small and a bit cramped inside, but it's not too uncomfortable. You see a nondescript man at a table, looking at a piece of paper. He puts the paper down when he sees you coming. You ask him about the jobs available, and he replies.
"Well, the farms have reportedly been running a little dry on food. They suspect a thief is hiding in one of the abandoned farms. At best there's a single thief, at worst a gang of bandits, or maybe raiders. You are to find the thief and his gang, if he has one, and bring back the stolen food. The pay is relatively normal, though you'l get some additional food from the farmers. You have the farmers permission to investigate the sites where the theft took place." He then hands you an envelope.
"Return here with it when you're done."Well, I am going to Visit the sheriff, it is always good to be friendly with the law. And while there, see if any people are wanted.
You go to the sherrif's office. You can see a few empty jail cells. The sheriff, a large man sits at a table opposite of the entrance. You ask the sheriff about any wanted people. He hands you a wanted poster.

Visit the saloon, with haste. Inquire with the bartender.
Roundhouse RockYou enter the salloon. You see various people sitting at tables and playing card games or drinking. You see a large, burly man sitting at a table facing the entrance, looking at you. You(6-1=5) realize the man must be an assasin hired by one of your many foes. You walk up to the bartender, a short, bald man with a mustache.
"Hey, gringo! Any hijos de putas around here you need dead?" Yeah, there's a couple people we need dead." He hands you a poster.

While you're reading the poster, someone taps you on the shoulder.
"Is your name Carlos?""What's it to you?""Just means I get to earn my pay. That's what."Initiative: Assasin (1-1=0)

The punch hits the assasin in the jaw.
Carlos: Damage dealt (uses strength) (1-1=0)

The punch doesn't even phase the assasin. He counterattacks.

Carlos barely dodges out of the way of the counterattack as the assasin hits the table instead. His hand (1) is full of splinters now.
The assasin takes 5 damage. He has 9 health left. (6-1=5) Despite the pain in his hand, the assasin continues fighting.
Head over to the saloon, join in any barfights.
You arrive at the saloon to see Carlos fighting a man bigger than himself. Cromwell (5-1=4) notices another man standing up from a table and walking towards Carlos.

The attack hits Carlos in the chest.
Assasin: Damage dealt (1+1=2)
Carlos: Damage Taken (2-1=1)
It only slightly bruises Carlos, though.
Chando revs his way noisily through town, coming to a stop before the saloon in a cloud of dust.
He parks his motorcycle out front, within sight of the doorway, then walks on in there. Leaving his LMG on his bike, of course.
>To the saloon!
Chando arivers at the saloon. He parks his motorcycle and enters the saloon. Inside, he sees Cromwell and Carlos fighting a big, burly man while another, less muscular man runs towards them.
To the Gun store!
Walrus decides to check out the gun shop. Stepping inside, he finds that the left wall is lined with various machine guns and assault rifles, while the right wall is filled with various rifles and hunting equipment.
What really catches his eye is the back wall, showcasing a sawed-off shotgun and some grenades. Walrus walks up to the counter. The merchant notices that he looks fixated on the weapons lining the back wall.
"I noticed that you seem interested in the weapons lining this wall. Want to buy any of them?"Sheets

Preffered form of travel: Horse
Name: Chando Mendoza
Appearance: A lean, hatchet-faced young fellow with dramatic eyebrows, a scraggly moustache and a shock of lank black hair.
Wears a thick, patched-up grey motorcycle jacket, real horrorshow boots and a pair of jeans that look like he's been living in them for a long damn time.
He usually carries two belts of large-calibre ammo looped over his shoulders, and keeps his eyes intact at high speeds with a scratched-up pair of imitation raybans that somehow survived the end of the world. When he smiles it's damn creepy.
Weapons: LMG, revolver
Health: 20
Stats:
-Strength: 1
-Endurance: 0
-Agility: 0
-Dexterity: 3
- Intelligence: 1
-Bravery: 0
Bio: Born in some small, boring but relatively safe wasteland township, Chando looked like he was gonna inherit the family restaurant when he grew up, but that quickly changed when he doused another kid with gasoline and set him alight following an argument. Chando was just 12.
Numerous attempts at discipline having failed, Chando was sent off to a bigger settlement with a trading caravan, to ostensibly "give him a chance to see the world", but more realistically to get him out of his family's hair. When a band of raiders decided to take a few potshots at the passing caravan a couple of days in, Chando got over his dismay at being sent off, grinned broadly (crazily?) and decided things weren't so bad after all.
The one thing he didn't like was how slow caravan travel was. A motorcycle was far more his style. He might have fallen off a few times and almost died whilst learning to ride it, but that didn't dent his enthusiasm any. Only way to travel, baby.
Preffered form of travel: Motorcycle. Don't ask who he stole it from.

This seems finished now. Sorry for being late with this. I think I made that assasin/bounty hunter too strong, though he should propably go down if you pull weapons on him.
