|start text=Hello {PLAYER_NAME}, how nice to see you back in my saloon. It just so happens that I heard a rumor from a traveler... An eerie rumor about a town that appears during the night. In the morning it is drenched in fog and then vanishes at noon. Well, ten horses couldn't drag me there... but if you're brave enough, you should go look for the town. As far as I can tell from the rumors, the town is somewhere in the northwest.
|finish text=So you have found the ghost town! Did you get an unsettling feeling when you were there? ... Something is wrong with that place. Be careful!

|start text=You were in the ghost town and saw Mike's ghost there?! Oh no... what shall we do? He's probably seeking revenge and will bring us all great harm! We have to do something about him! Go to the ghost town and hit the ghost with a bullet between the eyes! Let's see how he will like that. Send him back to wherever he came from.
|finish text=Oh no! Bullets don't work and you barely got out alive? He will kill us all until he gets what he wants...

|finish text=Poor Jenny... but it had to be. After all, this concerns our lives!

|finish text=After you toss Jenny's braid in front of the ghost, Mike slowly dissolves into thin air with a triumphant laugh. Once the ghost has finally left the world, the fear that gripped you also vanishes and the ghost town doesn't seem even half as scary to you.

The woman seems to be very grateful to you and tells you about gangs who often meet in the ghost town and have already robbed many visitors and travelers. But when the gangs get together to hatch plans, they always come unarmed. Maybe you can do something about the gangs.

|finish text=The bandits tell you about their different activities in the region, especially about their casino in the ghost town. But it is very well hidden and the casino employees have strict orders to hide from anyone who appears in the casino without the correct clothing. After a few inquiries, you find out that the visitors are recognized by their elegant jacket, the sombrero and an old chain that probably has an Aztec origin.

|start text=With eyes full of hatred and madness, the second bandit storms forward to avenge his fallen friend. He twirls his large knife in the air like a maniac, which luckily blocks you from the view of the third bandit, so that he is unable to aim at you. Skillfully you always place yourself in such a way that the attacker with the knife is in the path of the other one and you therefore only have to concentrate on the opponent in front of you.
|finish text=After a few seconds of this fight, which is leaving its marks on you as well as your opponent, a shot from the back room breaks your concentration. With great alarm you see that the third bandit has shot his partner in the back, making him fall to the ground either unconscious or dead.

In front of you is a man who is ready for anything, and the way he handles his gun, he is certainly no beginner. You're faced with what must be one of the toughest fights of your life.
|finish text=You're quite relieved that it isn't you but your opponents who are lying there on the ground. You know with absolute certainty that it would not have taken much to make everything go differently. But this time the luck was on your side.
