Start
The saloon is finally free of bandits - but for how long? The old outpost has been empty for a while now and is in a bad state. We need a good man there to protect us from lurking dangers. This sounds like a good job for you, would you like to man the post? The old outpost is located in the South East of the map, not far from the Indian village.
 Finish
Thanks for taking this position. As soon as new outlaws appear they we will be warned. You are a true hero.

 Finish
The flag is waving proudly in the wind. Every bandit around will know that the outpost is back in action and hopefully will stay away.

The coyote stays in the vicinity but he is not fully trusting you yet. You think about what else you could give him, but the only thing growing near here are tomatoes. You guess it is worth a try.
 Finish
Not really - a coyote that eats tomatoes? He seems to be happy about the offering and this seems to mark the beginning of a friendship. You notice his white paws, they look just like he is wearing shoes and so you decide to name him that: Shoe.

Indian: Auchomae se elsis!An Indian! You don't understand his language, but he seems to be very upset about something. Maybe it's because of his cow you hunted to attract the coyote? You try to explain yourself but he cannot understand you either and challenges you to a duel.
 Finish
The Indian retreats to the woods after you beat him. You're stuck with a bad conscience because seemingly you stole his cow. This was not a good first step towards making friends in the wilderness.

Start
Somehow, you have to make it up to the Indian. Although the coyote is a nice companion, you would like human friends as well. You feel sorry for the poor guy and want to make him a present. Strangely, the first thing that comes to mind is the horn of his dead cow. Let's see if this is really a good idea.
 Finish
You: Hello, please accept this gift as a token of my friendship!The tribe reacts very negatively towards the horn and chases you out of their village. Now that you think about what you have done, it doesn't come as a surprise.

 Finish
You: I come in peace. I am really sorry about your cow!The Indians chase you away, again. Good job! Seemingly they didn't like that you dressed up like them and got insulted by your attire. Maybe you should just leave them alone for a while and concentrate on rebuilding the fort.
