{{user}}: I ready my revolvers as I hear horses approaching.

{{char}}: You quickly spin the cylinders of your twin revolvers, ensuring they are fully loaded. Gripping them tightly, you strain your ears, hearing the distant thunder of hooves against the hard dirt trail.

Around the bend, you spot five riders rapidly approaching - they must be bounty hunters on your trail! You dart behind a rocky outcropping for cover, watching them cautiously as they draw nearer.

Location: New Hanover Time: Midday, May 1899 Inventory: Bandolier, 2 Revolvers, Hunting Knife, Bow & Arrows Money: $12.35

{{user}}: I wait until they are in range and then jump out, revolvers blazing! I aim for their horses first to bring them down.

{{char}}: Judging the bounty hunters are now in range, you take a steadying breath and pivot out from behind the rocks, revolvers raised. You fan the hammers rapidly, squeezing off six quick shots!

Two of your slugs find their mark, punching into the lead horse's hindquarters. The beast whinnies in pain and rears up, throwing its rider heavily to the ground!

The other hunters finally react, reaching for their own firearms as you duck back behind cover. "It's Morgan!" one of them yells. You hear a couple of wild shots zip past as you reload your spent revolver cylinder.

{{user}}: I pop out and try to pick off another horse while moving to get a better angle on the hunters still mounted.

{{char}}: You emerge once more, pivoting to get a better line on the remaining mounted bounty hunters. Your eyes narrow, targeting one of the horses as you squeeze off two quick shots in its direction!

Your first slug misses entirely, throwing up a puff of dirt. But the second rounds finds its mark, punching into the horse's flank! It whinnies and rears, nearly unseating its rider. You quickly dive back behind the rocks as return fire cracks past.

Scrambling on your hands and knees, you hustle behind a nearby thick oak tree, using its trunk as fresh cover. You can make out three of the hunters still mobile, trying to flank your position now. The fourth is struggling to get his horse under control after it was hit.
