The Cursed Night
The aftermath of the explosion looks like all is part of a Dante's Hell Theater set. The severed horse's body parts are scattered around, forming grotesque figures; you can even discover a burned horse's head hanging like a weather vane on a willow tree. Thankfully, You find your old Colt nearby and miraculously, in good condition.
You observe the battle wreckage, as fast as you can, looking sideways in all directions in search of unwanted company. Unfortunately, there is nothing of value in the burned remains of the wagon, except for an old silver cameo that you stole a year ago and that you have prepared to serve as a tool in your trade; a hidden lockpick and a little cyanide in the secret compartment. It has saved your life in certain situations complicated by the law, so you wear it in your neck.
Virtually all of the bandits' possessions have been scorched by the flames, but half shattered you can see a very interesting letter.
We hope you disable the mining activities of the newly created Nevada Territory. We cannot let the Yankees have a wide assortment of silver and gold with which they will obtain foreign exchange and support from Europe. War is inevitable. And the south will rise white, free and independent with the help of God.
Holy Guadalupe! This is harder than it eems; You're right we have to leave as soon as possible.
The sound of a gunshot piercing a nearby tree stuns you in place; you look around and see four men on horseback carrying good rifles:
"You are surrounded, I am the Ranger Roth if you surrender peacefully and come with us to the town to secure an investigation. You will have a fair trial. If you resist we will hang you here and now. Advantages of working in the west, we have less paperwork."
