Start Hello {PLAYER_NAME}, you're just in time! One of my regular customers, a gold digger known as Old Man Hackett, travels into town each month to do some shopping before coming in to enjoy a keg of my famous gin.The saloon has recently been very busy so I haven't had the opportunity to collect the berries for my brew. Could I trouble you with it? I'll pay you, of course.	Finish Thank you! Hackett is one of my oldest customers, I wouldn't want to disappoint him. Here is a bottle of the good stuff, maybe you can take it to him?

Start I'm starting to become worried, Old Man Hackett should have been here a while ago. Perhaps something has happened to the old fox, would you mind checking in on him? Better take this liquor for him as well. Hackett has set up camp at a fireplace. It is in the mid-southern regions of the map.	Finish Excellent, you have found Hackett! Tell Hackett that he can pay for the keg next time he visits. Let me tell you, that old man can be a little strange...

Start Stop! Who's there? Beware, I'm armed and... (violent coughing)	Finish Walker sent you eh? Well then, come in greenhorn. I've been missing his gin. While I was digging I've caught a stubborn cold. Walker's brew will keep me warm until I get over it.

Start (Coughs) Oh, it's you greenhorn. My cold is a little better but I'm still not feeling myself, and I'm slowly running out of food. Even I can't live on gin alone, a hearty stew is just what I need to help recover my strength. I can still cook but I don't have the right ingredients.	Finish A few bowls of this stew and I'll be my old self again! I would offer you some but you wouldn't want to catch anything from me. Take my old vest instead, when digging I should wear something a little warmer anyway.

Start Howdy greenhorn! As you can see I've recovered well, however I haven't the legs to catch the thieves who tried to dig the gold from my claim. Please help chase those scoundrels from my land!	Finish Hah, that novice. I'll let you in on a little secret: there was never really any gold in this claim. Why the fuss about those scoundrels? Purely on principle; nobody tries to steal from Old Man Hackett and gets away with it!

Start Come in greenhorn! I have some big plans and if you're willing to help then you can keep part of the profits. I have made a new claim to dig, but as you've probably noticed I'm getting too old for such hard work. However you're young and fit, help me stake out the claim and we're in business... partner.	Finish Yes, I can already smell the gold! I can just tell this claim will be more fruitful than the last one. Go rest, tomorrow we'll start digging.

Start This is it: soon you'll see there is nothing like the feeling of a promising first claim to secure your treasure. Soon we'll be rich beyond our wildest dreams! Come back when you've found something. Now where have I put that keg from Walker...	Finish (With a slur) There you are greenhorn. Come sit down, take a sip. Walker has outdone himself once again. Oh, you've found something already? Show me... that's fantastic! This is... this is just shoddy fool's gold! You thought you could trick me huh? You just wait!You wake up with a throbbing headache. Hackett has smashed you with the (thankfully empty) keg and left you without a penny for the gold dust. Does anyone know where the old fox has crawled to? Henry seems to know Hackett well...

Start Oh, {PLAYER_NAME}, you are back. Have you found Hackett? Why do you look so grim, did something happen? I understand. Seems as if his desire for gold has gotten to his head, and presumably my gin too. In a way I'm not completely innocent in this mess either, so listen carefully. Hackett moves back into that mine during very cold winters, the one where he worked in many years ago. If you find him, teach him some manners. Didn't you see a mine further east of Hackett's camp?	Finish I hope you gave a good talk to the old hotspur. At least he gave you back the money. I will only brew some weaker booze for him in the future.

Start Well well, is this not the thieving greenhorn? You've probably come to steal the shirt off my back... Thieves and scoundrels, the whole world is full of 'em. But they won't steal from me, not from Old Man Hackett. Draw!	Finish Argh! You've won today, but don't you start bragging about it.Hackett clutches his shoulder and slowly moves away. You find the money he owes you in his old saddle bag, as well as an old pickaxe.
