Start
You solved the water shortage problem at Newport - it was the Mayor? Wow, who would have thought that? You say he sold the water to some guy called Calvin? Calvin. I know this name. A Calvin is a big buzz in industry and politics and even supports the police services. But I bet that is a coincidence and he meant another Calvin. Your next task is to find out where these pipes are going to come closer to the real culprit. But digging up where these pipes lead... it must be hundreds of miles. You cannot do this on your own. Me and my deputies will help you with that. Just get us some pickaxes.
 Finish
My men have been digging for hours now. There is good and bad news. The good news: My men found the end of the pipes. The bad news: The pipes are ending at Fort Mencer.

Start
The pipes are leading to Fort Mencer. You do not know what that is? This is a mighty outlaw Fort. It is armed to the teeth and stuffed with the most gruesome scoundrels.I can't give you any support, it is too dangerous for my men. If I were you, I would leave Fort Mencer alone. Anyway, it is located in the North of the map. Good luck!
 Finish
I have told you to leave Fort Mencer alone. No sheriff is ever daring closer than fifty miles from this fort.

You arrive at Fort Mencer. The pipes end somewhere behind the walls and fortifications. Can this be the Calvin the mayor of Newport talked about? Is he behind all this? The fort is huge and impressive. A figure is standing on the balcony looking down at you.Scoundrel: Who on earth are you? The pipes? Scram! That is none of your business. What do you want to do? Conquer Fort Mencer all by yourself? Hahaha... Good luck.
 Finish
Your attempt to ride Fort Mencer down all by yourself was a failure. The fort is just too big to take it down all alone.You did not even come close. The outlaws wrestled you down in a blink.You are lying with your face in the dirt.Defeated and severely injured.The vultures are circling.Your eyes are heavy.The world turns black...

 Finish
You recapitulate your journey to Bonnie. The Outpost, how it was burned down, the happenings in Newport and the trail to somebody named Calvin that lead you here.Bonnie: I see. You have been through quite something. You are still too injured to move on. For now, stay on my ranch until you are fully recovered.You noticed a quick glow in Bonnie's eyes as you mentioned Calvin. Does she know about him? You decide not to ask her, you might offend her hospitality.

Some days later...Bonnie: You look a lot better. Seems you have recovered. Saddle your horse and come with me. I want to show you the ranch.Bonnie shows you all around her ranch. You ride side by side. On your way you have a good conversation. You learn that she is tending the farm all by herself.
 Finish
Your final stop is an overgrown grave. Bonnie has a sad expression on her face.Bonnie: This Calvin you told me about. I know him. He is a rich and influential man. He has his fingers in politics, trade and all kinds of business. Under the pretext of the wealthy patron he is dealing in slavery and all kinds of shady business. He is too influential to be suspected. Nobody can do anything about him.My father found out about that. He wanted to inform the authorities, but Calvin is supporting all kinds of community services. Nobody believed him.Hence, his gang tried to force my dad to sell the farm for a penny. In the end, dad paid with his life... He just could not accept that nobody would believe him. Since, I am tending the farm. Do you believe me?

Nigel: No, no, no. You might be a good friend of Bonnie but I quit the whole weapon deal business a while ago.Well, I might consider something if you help me make some money. I am up for a new profitable business idea: selling my own wonder medicine. You help me establish my reputation, and I will help you with this Fort. Manufacture a potion of the prototype of Nigel's universal remedy. It consists of 10 blueberries and 10 pumpkins grinded together. Do you need help solving the quest? Have the required ingredients in your inventory. Then go and do a job to grind them (like you do with coffee or grains).

You and your allies are on position. You are steering the fake stagecoach towards the fort. The gatling gun is hidden inside and will be fired by Nigel.A drunk guard is opening the door. Seems like Seth has done his job well. You drive into the Fort. The marshal is ready to give you fire assistance from the outside.Your target is to get this Calvin in your hands.
 Finish
After a big battle you took down the Fort with united forces. But no trace of the big villain Calvin. You put some scoundrels through the mill. The result: obviously Calvin was warned. He fled the Fort once the assault started. You will have to track him down again.Maybe the sheriff knows something.
