Re: Chapter 5.4: Shootout at the Bella Union Saloon ((Deadwood))
"Mr. Hickok, it seems the purpose that I've asked you to assist with may no longer be an issue, but I'd like to offer a word of thanks for your willingness to help. I'll put up a good word for you if it comes to needing that, and I'm going to look into seeing if I can get you a little more help with your ah…let's call 'em anger management issues we saw back in the tavern. I know a guy who knows a guy," he said.
"But at the moment, I'm going to go check on the survivors and see if I can help with controlling the fire in a way that doesn't involve blowin' more things up. Though I wish you the best of luck, Miss Ivers. I had some friends in and around the building and I need to get movin'," he said, turning to get a running start as he headed toward the barricade, with a leap at the end to get him towards it and help get some momentum in climbin' over it.
As he does, he witnesses the spectacle of an angry man confronting von Steinhoff, Wells dragging him away followed by said angry man, and then another woman dragging away Katy, along with the other Marshal tagging along. He fell into a loping jog to catch up with them.
"Glad to see y'all made it outta there safe. Miss Ivers is gonna try some kinda trick to help fight the fire. I don't know that it'll work, but I can't figure it'll do too much more damage," he said, mostly talking to Katy, Jackie, and von Steinhof.
"Marshal Broaddale, I'm Logan West, also of the Marshals service," he said, tapping his badge. "When we find ourselves a non livin' saloon we can maybe discuss our work in the territory, and see if our duties overlap."
OOC: Sorry for jumping around a bit, just trying to catch up with the events of the last 45 posts or so.
