That means getting a horse for Kiara shouldn't be an issue.
You keep an ear out for anything that should worry you. Most of what you see or hear is townfolks muttering about why your group is here. A lot of the gossip you hear is typical small town drek, nothing that would be worth anyone's time to investigate.
>18!
There's someone following you. He was easy to spot because he's the only one here hiding his face. He's a skinny, tall man with a long dust-coated duster draped over his body. His face is hidden by a large ten gallon hat and a brown bandana wrapped around his face.
He raises two fingers to the side of his head, right by his ear. He murmurs something you can barely hear before leaving your group be for now.
Either a spook or something working for them but <span class="mu-b">he's the only one you spot who's remotely shady.</span> Spook activity doesn't seem that focused here. Odd. Could just be they're not in this specific town but you expected MORE surveillance of your group.
>25!
While most of the muttering and gossip from the regular townfolk is banal, a few snippets from a group of nearby cowboys catches your interest.
"<span class="mu-b">The Sun Scorchers</span> are starting a ruckus again, huh?" "Yeps. Some fella with mashed potatoes for a face is supporting 'em now. Heard some rumors he's one of them rich folks." "Like the bitch with the blue-grey hair there?" "Yeah, but like, more violent. Like Ms. Cross Face."
"Eugh. Ain't gonna enjoy that meeting this week." "Same, brother, same. Heard they got some fancy ray gun things from up in the City proper." "Bullshit."
The conversation shifts away after that but that's VERY worrying. That almost sounds like they're talking about <span class="mu-b">Delta Foxtrot.</span> That's worrying. You already know Shockley is here somewhere so...mmh.
POI flickers out of reality after that. Seems like a lot of things are wearing off now.
>POI has worn off and can't be resummoned for now. You may still summon other DISASSOCIATION specters.
>NOLNOL pills have worn off! No more RESTRAINT regen or power reduction.
>BENJAMIN and MAX's DWARFSTONE buff wears off!
Your group stops by a large wooden building that's sitting comfortably in the middle of town. The fenced off area connected to it that has a bunch of horses roaming around it so you hazard that this is the stable. It's pretty close by the saloon so you might as well check this place out to see what they have in stock.
An old wrangler is leaning against the wooden fence. She's staring longingly at the many horses roaming around like a child seeing them for the first time. She spots your group from the corner of her eye and eagerly waves you over. "Y'all ain't from here, huh? Cept for Mr. Yellow Eyes."
Clover tips his hat at the Wrangler. "Sure. These are my friends. We'd hazard ya got some horses to spare?"
"Sure we do! Gonna take a bit of paperwork and cash to get one of 'em, them horses are valuable. Ya can look for what you wanna rent though! Pick whatever ya want!"
