Pat "the Ghost" Gibbet sidles over to the train station lady.

"I have two enquiries for you ma'am," he says pointing to his deputy badge. "Firstly, how much are train tickets in these parts... and second, have the two brothers, name of Trowel, come through this station? Ian and Michael, quick sons of a miner, perhaps you know of 'em?"

Trying his hardest Guy Gal still fails to find any information.

The general store has some ladies browsing summer hats and fancy pomades, whilst the shopkeeper, a balding man with bushy moustache and pair of glasses on his nose, is watching from behind the desk.

The pricelist is carved on a wooden panel by the shopkeep's desk:

"Flora's Cantina" Barlady: "I might or might not know something about them Trowels. How about you buy a drink first and then I tell you what I know? We got good whiskey for 1$ a glass."

Train Station Lady: "Depends where you goin' hun, we issue tickets per destination. As for the Trowels? No, we make sure that wanted criminals don't hop trains, either bluntly or sneakily so. You need a ticket somewhere, hun?"

[notquitethere]

While he's there, Pat asks about the cost of a train to Irontown. Just in case they need to go later (or come back from there). Afterwards, he'll go find the others.

Miguel then turns towards the ladies, rustles up his best approximation of a winning smile and approaches.

Young Lady of Agua Fria: "The Trowel brothers? Why, I had met Michael once here. He tried to seduce me but honestly he was hitting too much bottles. But, otherwise, he was a pleasant fellow, well, if not for those eyes of his. They looked big and all-seeing, like eyes of an owl. What kinda man has eyes like this, really?"

[TricMagic]

Continue to ask around. Best to cover our bases.

Old Woman of Agua Fria: "Them Trowel boys? I 'member they easy tire in them heats. How I know this? Well, theirs father was a travel'r after mines dried up and didn't mind thems deserts, but his boys were all whiny when followin' thru, so if they be goin' anywhere, I gonna bet yous it is not desert."

Miguel chats with other ladies but it soon becomes obvious they know even less than their friend.

[TricMagic]

"Thank you ma'am. That's a right bit right there."

With this is can be guessed that they wouldn't be near the deserts. Still not guaranteed they'd skirt it, but most like they hole'd up in the mountains west near the river. The General Store might have a bit of info on what provisions they'd bought.

[notquitethere]

Day's getting away from us. Pat goes to meet with the others. On collating the information they had gathered, he says, "We got a couple of quick-eyed, fleet-footed boys. Now they either went South-South-Westerly to the hills down there, or South-West-Westerly to the mountains overlooking the great river. What says y'all?"



"We could try one then the other, or split up...?"

The General Store was the same as visited earlier by another deputy.

[AzyWng]

Jackson smiles his best smile, then shakes his head.

"Sorry, ma'am, but I prefer to keep my head clear until after the job's done. Anyhow, you see me again, I'll be good to my word."

With that, Jackson strolls out and meets up with Pat.

"Well, my first thought is to split up into two groups - though that might not be the best idea in case one of the groups bites it.

If we all wanna stay as a team, we could try South-South-Westerly first. Shorter distance than South-West-Westerly."

[notquitethere]

"If we're of accord, let's leave town heading south-west," Pat says, checking over his provisions and getting ready for the trek...

[Kashyyk]

Agreed pardner. Le's head for them there mount'ns, dodgin' the desert.
