You're fighting a surly gamblerHe must be losin', because he's madder'n a peeled rattlesnake and seems to think you're the one that peeled him.
RE: Big Gambling Tournament Announced
You kind of recognize this guy as one of the gamblers who lost in the first round of the tournament. He must've joined Snake-Eyes' gang to get revenge for his loss. Maybe you can offer him some pepper to go with all that salt.
RE: Missing: Fancy Man
You ask one of the poker players if they've seen any sign of Jeff the Fancy Dude, but his only response is "Can't you see I'm playing cards, here, tenderfoot?" Well, that and pulling a knife on you.
RE: Sherriff Wanted
A chubby, sweaty man quickly approaches you and shoves you backwards into a chair. He produces a table and three shells, and starts randomly sliding the shells around while clumsily trying to pick your pockets.
"You're... terrible at this!" you say, as you knock over the table and advance on him.
Hit Message(s):
He flings playing cards at you like throwing stars. Surprisingly, they sting like throwing stars as well. Eek! Oof! Ugh!
He throws a bunch of dice at your head. (They're the casino-type ones, with the pointy corners.) Argh! Eek! Eek!
He shoots you with a tiny Derringer, which puts a larger than expected hole in your neck. Ooh! Ouch! Ugh!
He slugs you with his special deck of playing cards. They aren't just marked, they're weighted. (CRITICAL HIT!) Ouch! Ugh! Ugh!
He throws a bunch of playing cards at you. This causes asbout[sic] as much damage as you would expect.
He throws a bunch of dice at you, but you remind him that they only count if they stay on the table.
He pulls a Derringer out of his pocket, and gets mad when you call it "cute".
He tries to punch you with a deck of cards in his hand, and plays an impromptu game of 52-Card Pickup. (FUMBLE!)
