Start
It is February, the middle of winter. The weather is very bad, it is so cold that tears would freeze before they hit the ground. Well, you’re not crying, but walk over to the saloon to warm up with a warm meal, maybe even a mulled wine. As soon as you enter the saloon, you notice several new faces. In one corner, with his back to the wall, is a man with a long, beautiful mustache. You think you know him, but you cannot remember where you met him, or even his name. You notice that Maya is standing around alone at the bar. She is either waiting for her order or getting bored. Perhaps it’s worth to talk with her to find out more about the newcomers.Hi darling, what are you doing here? You know, I am very busy now, as always during the Poker evenings. You should try your luck, maybe play with the men there in the corner. I’m pretty sure John will introduce you to everyone if you bring a bottle of good whiskey. Oh, and a bottle of tequila for me, please.It looks like Maya is really busy. You'd love to sit down with John and drink a good whiskey, but playing Poker?! You were never good at card games.
 Finish
Good luck, darling! If you win anything today, you could bring me a small gift, hehe.You wonder why Maya wants to get a gift from you. At the end of the day, it is your luck in the game, not hers.

Start
With a bottle of good whiskey in your hand, you approach the table where John and the stranger play Poker. Looks like John has quite some fun and doesn't notice you at all. So you get closer and … hmm should you cough a bit? No, that would be silly just to get attention. You decide to just say “Hello!” instead.Oh hi! Take a seat and join our game. Thanks for the whisky, looks great. So, we're playing some Poker and if you want to join us you need to put some dough on the table. We're playing for high stakes, you know. Do you know this man? It is Wild Bill. Yes, the one and only Wild Bill Hickok.Now you understand why Maya just knew that you would not win anything against the best Poker player of the West. You think how nice it would be to prove her wrong. Do you have cards? Yes, we have, but there is this tradition where the one who joins a table has to provide new, unmarked cards. You see, ours already have dog-ears at the corners.
 Finish
It was a long and interesting evening. James, you mean Wild Bill, talked a lot about himself, like how he got mauled by a bear once. You have the impression that he is quite the hero... But maybe not everything actually happened the way he says it did. You wonder why he is no longer working as a Major or Marshal. You feel that something must have happened in his life. And you are interested about how his lovely lady looks. He talks a lot about Martha. You imagine her as a beautiful woman with long, dark hair and a shining rifle in her hand... Then you realize that James has distracted you enough so that you've lost all the money you had!Don't worry. You cannot always win.

Start
When you want to leave, you hear John talking to James: {PLAYER_NAME} is the person who can help us in the meeting tomorrow.Challenging? What is he talking about? You really don't understand what is going on here.James: It was nice to meet you, {PLAYER_NAME}! I've heard a lot about you and your adventures, but you still need to learn how to play Poker, ha! I can easily figure you out just by looking at your face. Ah, since you're here, can I ask you a favor? You see, tomorrow I'm having a duel with the brother of a guy who I executed back in the days when I was the mayor of Deadwood. I would need a good, new pistol or colt, and some bullets. And we may also need some bandages.
 Finish
You didn't want to waste any time, so you went ahead and brought all the things James, or Bill, needed right away. While you did that, John and Wild Bill discussed their poker strategies.Good, see you tomorrow then at noon. Have a good night, my friend.

Start
You get up from the chair and finally find yourself outside of your bedroom. But as you reach for the doorknob, someone grabs you by the hand. Maya smiles gently and looks at you as if she wants something. Oh, this night will never end, you think...Hi, {PLAYER_NAME}! So, it's good that I got a hold of you before you doze off. You see, my friend came here yesterday evening. Maybe you heard about her, it's Martha, also known as Calamity Jane. She's in love with Wild Bill... yes, the guy with the beard you played Poker with... What was I talking about? Ah, yes... She needs a really nice and fancy dress. Could you maybe bring me something?You look at the woman James has been talking about so enthusiastically... Hmm... You definitely did not imagine her... wearing pants?! She is beautiful, but... wearing pants? You make up your mind to find the best corset you can get. She is really nice with me, and she is my friend. She does have a few dresses, but... You know, we need something special for tomorrow evening, something that would take your breath away. She will go on a date.
 Finish
You are so nice, this is just what we needed! Here, I also have something for you. Take these 300 dollars.Who would not help a woman in distress, right? And in such urgent matters! A date! And now, you can go and take a rest.

A new day has dawned. In the end, you had a good night's sleep. You would like to have a hot coffee. It's still early and you have a few hours before the duel between Wild Bill and his rival will take place.Psst… {PLAYER_NAME}, come here. I need you... You see this couple there... Yes, Martha and James. They are on their date. I think we can help them a bit. We need some flowers, maybe a gift for her, like a neckless. I also need fish, tomato and oranges. Can you do that for me?
 Finish
When you see them holding hands and whispering compliments at each other, you know that sometimes it's worth to help love to flourish.You, Maya, Henry and John are standing at the bar, staring at James and Martha. James: Martha, let's take a walk. We just cannot hide our love in this city. And I don’t want to have any nosy onlookers. See you at noon, everyone!

Start
Noon has arrived. You walk out of the saloon and, like most residents of the town, wait for something to happen. There are only James and John on the street. You wait... 5 minutes, 10 minutes... The sun is shining brightly on this frosty day. After a while, John waves you over and you go to talk to them for a moment. Hello! So, everything is ready for the duel. We have to be prepared for all possible scenarios. I will try to catch the guy if he tries to run away, and you need to be ready to help James if he gets injured.As you talk, you notice a few men approaching, maybe even a dozen... What is going on here?Darn! This guy has brought along his whole gang! Wild Bill will stand no chance! I will go and talk to them, but you should ready your weapon. Watch out, my friend.A large group of ruffians came to town and stands against John and James. You get back to your position and wait how things will plan out. Then you hear John talking:This duel should be a fair one. Not thirty against one, it has to be one on one. So, if you want to have your duel, then all your friends need to put their guns in my bag. If not, we will just call the whole thing off, understand?
 Finish
It was quite the gunfight, but all considered nothing bad happened. We just suffered a few scratches here and there, while the gang ran off in the end. But I'm sure they will be back.When you get back to the saloon, you see Martha and James holding hands. You see that Martha wears the corset you delivered. But also pants! It actually looks quite good, but the combination of colors is a bit off...

Start
After such a big shooting, there is nothing else to do but sit down and rest. When you "dress" the wounds on your hands, Maya approaches you.Hey, maybe you want to sit with us? Martha just told me a story about her show in Buffalo Bill's roadshow. Oh, and I just realized that the bottle is empty. Could you bring a bottle of rum with you?Martha looks really curious to you. She is a beautiful and strong woman, having a gun and rifle with her. She wears pants like a man and sometimes she is very delicate, but at other times she acts like a man. It will be really interesting to learn more about her. Besides, Martha has a gift of storytelling. Her story is really intriguing and almost unbelievable. You decide to get the bottle of rum and join the girls' table.Martha: I'm strong like a man and I can do a lot of stuff, but I'm still a woman. You know, I once met Jesse James. Everyone and their mother think that he died a few years ago, but it’s not so. He is alive... Do you see that man with the big mustache and the very fancy hat? Yeah, yeah, I'm talking about James of course. He's so great and so handsome. Thanks to you, we had a very good time together. Our love has to be a secret, because the world would never understand. So you think I would look better without pants? What do you mean? Ah ok, yes... the pink corset doesn't really fit to the old leather pants, true. Then find me something else, maybe some black pants? Let’s create a new fashion...
 Finish
It had been a very long day and you feel quite tired. And drunk. It's time to get some sleep.

Start
You slept almost half a day, or maybe even more. You feel really good and refreshed. You make tea and change the dressing on your wounded hand, then sit down in a comfortable armchair and read the newspaper. After some time, you think about what has happened lately. Your thoughts revolve on the story of Martha and James. They are so in love that they are oblivious to everything else that goes on around them. Slowly, dinner time is approaching. Time to visit your friends in the saloon. As soon as you open the door, John greets you cheerfully.Hello, dear friend. We are having another Poker evening tonight. Do you want to give it one more try? I can give you a few tips. So, if you have cards of the same color in sequential order, that is called a Straight Flush, and if they're from ten to ace, it's a Royal Flush. It is very rare and the best hand you can get. If you have a combination of three cards of the same kind and another pair, then that is a Full House. If you have any of these combinations, just put money on the table... But not too much, or the other may smell you have a good hand and fold, ha! It's quite complex. See you at the table.
 Finish
While you are playing, someone enters the saloon. You can't see his face, but you have a bad feeling nonetheless. From the corner of your eye you see that the person put his hand on his gun...
