Has anyone else heard anything about a group of bandits called the Bouldersnakes?

Shaun, Bucky and I have been doing some digging at the saloon and the name has come up a few times. The information is almost always vague and the subject is usually shut down. But Bucky was able to get one of the locals to talk a little.

[By scaring them. The Winter Soldier scared a dude into talking. Anyway…]

He said the Bouldersnakes are very large, very bad group, and they are willing to do ugly things to get what they want. Usually they would ignore a town like this, but a man named Rudy tried to give them some ore once. Maybe that got their attention.

It scares the old Branson man, too. He stormed out of the saloon when he heard the name. I tailed him for awhile and he was visibly shaken.

I have been wondering if they could be involved in the fate of the town somehow. Maybe the fire wasn’t an accident.

Yeah, it shouldn't be a problem. I can talk to one of the guys, see if I can switch a shift around — I'll make up some excuse.

[ To keep in tune with their "carefully crafted" cover stories, and all that. ]

Sooner the better, right?

When you get the time, let me know. I don't think anyone at the blacksmiths will care if I take off.

[ He's not quite as concerned about keeping his job after having a month to get comfortable. ]

We'll ride out as soon as we can.

Awesome. I'll shoot you a message the moment things are figured out.

Actually — yeah, that's not a bad idea. And if I need verification, you're willing to vouch for me?

[ :) ]

Yeah, yeah, you're right.

[ There's a ... definite smile in his voice. ]

Well, it's a pretty iron-clad alibi. Thanks.

[ Hm. ]

We don't need to hash out the details, do we? You know, to make it more believable.
