Your hazel eyes scan across the golden brown frontier, tumbleweeds drift and hop along to the winds tune. You pull on the reigns equipped to your horse and come to a full stop as she neighs loudly and snorts at your sudden pulling, "easy there girl," you tell her, brushing your hand across her mane to help relax her. Your left hand reaches for the binoculars, bringing them to eyesight

RIVERTON TOWNSHIP

That's what the sign you catch a glimpse of says off in the distance. The rays from the sun cast a hazy mirage over the whole town, as if conjured by your own imagination. You attach your binoculars back onto your belt, and you make the heels of your feet cause impact with your steeds ribcage, clicking your tongue with the roof of your mouth to signal for her to get a move on . She kicks up both her front hooves and announces her effort with a crying neigh, when all hooves are back on the ground they kick up dust and you both make haste for Riverton.

The distance between yourself and Riverton steadily closes, the dusty plain clouding the trail behind you as your reliable girl runs like the winds blessed her hooves.

You finally make it to the entrance of the town, the middling populated township has some hustle and bustle going on from the locals here, though it seems there's nothing more than miners and law enforcement scouring through the town. The local law itself takes notice of your entrance and he saunters his way slowly over to you and your ride, his hands clutched to the sides of his waist and gripping his belt.

"Not often that we get visitors round these parts fella," he says, his unkempt salt and pepper beard drifting to one side from the wind blowing against it. "What's your business here, stranger?" He asks you, his cloudy blue and aged eyes scanning your every movement.

"Reckon I just went on a ride and came adrift here, there a saloon somewhere nearby?" You ask him, you take off your brown rimmed hat and put it flat against your toned chest, revealing your sweaty and slicked back dark hair.

The old sheriff chuckles, "just over yonder past those houses hard to miss the sign, and oh.. please don't cause no trouble fella," the man politely says.

You give him a half smile and put your hat back on, "thanks," is all you reply back to the old man as your horse slows it's pace from previously and makes way for the saloon. Eventually you find it, 'The Dizzy Coyote', a brown, large, wooden structure with all sorts of noise coming from inside.

"Looks like we found it, Bell," you tell your trusty companion, she just snorts and nods her head forward as you secure her reins to the wooden post. You trail up to the wooden building and push open the saloon doors where you then find most of the locals, guess work must done for the day. Shit, you hope you're not too late.

Spotting the bar in the center of the building you make way to the ringed counter where a fine woman working the area notices you. Her wide hips sway towards you and her long blonde hair bounds with each step, "never seen you here before, cowpoke," she tells you semi-teasingly, "What brings a stranger like you to our humble home?" She finishes asking.

"Taking care of business," you tell the bartender, rummaging through your bag after and pulling out a wanted poster.

The man scribed over the poster is the roughneck looking sort. His bald head humorously depicting a shine over it, he has a long, brown handlebar mustache and is depicted with a missing eye.

"Lookin' for this handsome feller. Stead he was last seen at was round these parts supposedly," you tell her. She turns around for a moment to get an eye on any customers coming back to the bar counter, the moment she turns around gifting your eyes with her round, plush ass underneath those worn pants of hers.

She frowns, "bounty hunter ain't ya, or maybe it's something personal.. either way we never seen that man in these parts," she finishes telling you.

You get the feeling she's not being honest with you, the way some of the men around the bar eye you up, smirking amongst themselves and casually talking in hushed tones to one another about your presence. Squinting your hazel eyes at some of the men in the bar, you push yourself away from the counter momentarily, "if you boy's know something, best tell me now fore' it ain't just your boss coming outta here," you boldly tell a large collective of those same men who were watching you.

"Yeah, I got something to tell you," a particularly lanky man says to you, standing tall from where he was just seated. He has a plentiful collection of cheap and rough looking tattoos spread across his arms, his very skinny frame is hugged closely by the protective leather coat and dark pants.

You eye the man for a few moments longer, it looks like the bartender is thinking about inserting herself into this, probably to stop a fight from happening. The lanky, pale man spits on the ground, "don't need none uh your type here, why don't you take your fruity little pictures and just saddle on home, boy," he walks right up to you and says, his friends laughing all the while at his comment. You notice his one hand outstretched and near the holster of his gun, no doubt he's sizing you up and doesn't seem impressed either.

You take the man's looming threats head on, your own hand outstretched to the revolver holstered on your belt. "Suppose I don't leave, what're you and your posse gonna do about that?" You question the man, he doesn't relax for a single second and only grins at you standing up to him.

"There are worse things than dyin' friend," he casually tells you, "might just make ya a cripple and wait until the times right," he finishes.

You turn your head to one side for a second, until the time's right? What exactly does he mean by that. "Time's right for what?" You ask him, the whole room including the lady barkeep all laugh aloud at your question.

"You really don' know shit bout the man you're chasing down do ya? This bounty's over your head, boy," the man tells you after he's done laughing at your question, the room relaxes a little and his outstretched hand relaxes and returns to his side. You return the gesture, the tall man clearly backing down from his previous bravado.

"Reckon ya can't tell me more than that?" You question him, again he just returns your question with a sinister laugh.

"Nah, ain't no fun in that. Let's just say The Frontier round these parts is gonna get shook up in a way ain't nobody prepared for," he says, flashing a grin that displays his yellowed teeth.

Before you have any time to react, you hear the swift motion of a stool come crashing your way as one of the posse smashes some furniture over the top of your head knocking you out. Bell cries out in protests from outside the saloon and in your fading vision, the sheriff enters the saloon with the wanted man you've been looking for.

"You know what to do with him boys," the ugly, scarred man tells them all, they just nod in response.

Waking up from your not so peaceful sleep, you immediately get a view of your surroundings. The surrounding environment is decorated with all kinds of sigils and depictions of creatures scattered across the walls and flooring, one of such depictions is some giant hairy monster, and another one some large strange looking worm, in the center of it all is one large circle painted with what seems to be dried blood. You try to jump out of your seat when you realize that you've been restrained, your feet and hands tied together, and your hazy vision just starting to come back to you.

Nobody's present here.. wherever you are at the moment. You've been stripped of your weapons and any outer clothing including your socks, the only thing still clinging onto you is your briefs you put on this morning.
