Accidental Heroes
Road to Laramie


  Prelude

Somewhere in Willoughby
Is, is that you?
They said, they said you were dead.
Guess they shoulda checked a little closer.
Wow! It's good to see you again...
Yeah, I reckon so. Which way did them varmints go?
They were headed for Laramie
Good, thanks for your help, this time
Now listen, about that, I wanted to stay but AAAARGGHH!!!!

  Summary of the Adventure

The evening began with the posse on the road from Willoughly to Laramie. Armando decided to use his pistol as a flyswatter to take care of a few flies circling Hector's unwashed head. Hector took exception to this and thing got out of hand. When it was over, Armando was unconscious and Virgil's favorite lasso was broken.

When he regained consciousness, Armando felt that honor demanded he call out Hector. After attempting to get Zeke to help him, he gave up and had JT offer Hector his choice of dueling pistols. Hector decided to stay with his Gatling pistols. More arguing ensued and Hector wound up calling Armando out.

When Armando turned his back on him, Hector drew out his pistols to shoot him where he stood. The kid decided to enter the fray at that point and, in a miracle of trick-shooting, shot first one, then the other of Hector's pistols out of his hands. One of the guns was broken in the process.

The group finally continued on to Laramie. En route, they made camp in a hollow one night and were woken up at three a.m. when a half-naked girl stumbled into there campsight. She explained that she had escaped from some kidnappers and that they were chasing her with fire-breathing dogs.

After some consultation, Zeke and Virgil decided to take her on to Laramie while the rest of the group tracked the girl back to her kidnappers. In Laramie, Elizabeth and the boys received quite a reception from her fellow soiled doves

Meanwhile, the rest of the posse found a log cabin with a weird altar on it. As they discussed what to do next, they were suddenly interrupted

"Your friend seems wise beyond his years, perhaps you should heed his advise"
