Start
{PLAYER_NAME}, I have work for you. Bill Hickhok has been shot from behind in front of the saloon in Burnham City. Nobody can think of a motive or knows who did it - sounds like a case for you, doesn't it? Off to Burnham City! The murder took place in Burnham City, that's in the northeast of the map.
 Finish
So you have accepted the case, great! Hopefully Bill Hickhok's killer is found soon.

Start
So you will help solve the murder of Bill Hickhok? Alright, here's the basic information: The deceased is an infamous gunslinger and poker player. We found him in front of the saloon this morning. He was insidiously shot from behind. Surely he had many enemies - you should put a price on the heads of those who are potentially guilty. You'll surely think of some mean villains who could know something. You can issue bounties at your town's sheriff
 Finish
I have interrogated all of your suspects - none of the ones you put a price on is Hickhok's murderer. But a witness came forward, he says Hickhok was holding something when he was shot. That's a hot lead.

Start
According to the eyewitness account, Hickhok was holding on to something before the Sheriff came to secure the crime scene that morning. The eyewitness reported that he had seen a person meddling with the corpse. There are some shady low lives hanging around, but you won't be able to get them to talk just like that. I believe only brute force will get them to talk. You have to be a member of a town to duel other players.
 Finish
Alright, I have questioned all scoundrels you have defeated. They said that Hickhok had a hand of poker cards clutched in his hand when he died. The villains of the area took the cards as souvenirs - Bill Hickhok was a bit of a celebrity after all.

Start
Unbelievable, so Hickhok was holding a hand of poker cards when he died. Some scoundrels took five cards as a souvenir, that is theft of evidence! Maybe we can find the real culprit via the cards. You have to obtain all five, try making some money off the duelists. You might find a card in their pockets.
 Finish
You have found a card! A Queen...

Start
We have found one of the cards from Hickhok's poker hand. You won't be able to take the next card off of anyone that fast. The scoundrels now know that you are taking the cards off of them with the money you've won. The trick does not work anymore, so you will have to shoot your opponent unconscious so you can search them undisturbed.
 Finish
This is the second card: an eight

Start
Three cards are missing for a full poker hand. The hoodlums will not give them away though, they are hiding their card well. Try to knock out your opponent with a single shot so he cannot hide the card.
 Finish
There we go, that wasn't so hard. The third poker card. Eight again?

Start
We are onto something here! The last card has to be in the possession of a very experienced scoundrel as we have not yet tracked it down. Get some more experience in duels and the right opponent will surely be among them.
 Finish
I knew it! A lot of experience helps luring even the worst guys... the second last card is an Ace.

Start
We're close to a breakthrough in the Bill Hickhok case, I can feel it. We have to find this one card, maybe one of the ailing scoundrels took it with him.
 Finish
We have Hickhok's hand, a dead man's poker hand! You did it!

Start
Alright, we somehow have to lure the murderer out of his hideout. The best way to do this is to re-enact the situation, hoping that he will react to it. We know that Hickhok was an infamous gunslinger. You can get a good reputation by raising you duel difficulty for bandits - finish off increasingly difficult bandits in order to get the murderer's attention.
 Finish
You have become the menace of bandits in the West - that's what they are calling you now. This will surely attract the murderer.

Start
Very nice, you are now almost as infamous as Hickhok himself. Now we lay the trap, sit down in the saloon and hold the poker hand he was holding onto when he died. Hopefully this will lure the murderer from his hideout.
 Finish
Very good, now let's keep waiting in the saloon and see what happens. Don't worry, a bunch of federal undercover agents has been positioned, so nothing will happen to you.

Start
That man there is Jack McCall, an unlucky poker player. That might be a motive, he surely lost a fortune to Hickhok and shot him from behind! Quickly, arrest him!
 Finish
While we did interrogate McCall, we had to let him go. According to him, it was an act of revenge, as Hickhok had killed his brother. It's an eye for an eye in the Wild West, so we cannot put him in jail.

Start
Something about this whole case seems Greek to me... so Bill Hickhok shot McCall's brother. He should be buried at the cemetery of the ghost town - why don't you see if you can find some hints there.
 Finish
What, you did not find a grave in the ghost town? So McCall did not actually have a brother!? He lied to save his neck - go get him, this time he really pushed his luck. He still has to be somewhere in Burnham City.

The ghost town... there's a cemetery just as eerie within its walls. This is where McCall's brother must be buried, you are searching the entire cemetery for his tombstone.
 Finish
After a long search, you realize that there is no tombstone with the name McCall on it. That means McCall lied - he did not actually have a brother! He murdered Hickhok out of pure greed.

McCall is guilty of the murder of Bill Hickhok, out of pure greed. Now we got him, go and get McCall - and really shoot him down this time so we can take him straight to jail.
 Finish
Well done! McCall is finally is jail, he fooled us for the last time. You have solved the case of the dead man's hand!
