How It All Goes Down
- LaBoeuf hides on one side of the ridge near the dugout, and Mattie and Rooster camp out on the other side.
- Late in the night, six robbers ride up. Rooster points out Haze, Lucky Ned Pepper, and The Original Greaser Bob.
- Cool names, bros.
- When he realizes something funny is going on, Ned fires three shots in the air. A gunfight ensues. Here's the scoreboard:
- LaBoeuf kills Ned's horse and some rando.
- Rooster kills Haze and wounds Bob.
- Ned cuts the robbery loot from his horse and runs, leaving the loot in the woods for our merry band to find later.
- A robber shoots LaBoeuf in the arm, but Mattie bandages it up all nice and then makes coffee.
- The next morning, our gang transports a bunch of dead bodies to McAlester's store, arriving at 10 in the morning.
- Rooster tries to leave Mattie behind at McAlester's store, but LaBoeuf says she's earned the right to come along. Awww.
- They ride for fifty miles up into the Winding Stair Mountains. Rooster drinks whiskey from a bottle as they ride, because what else are you going to do, play your 3DS?
- At midnight they stop "some four miles from Lucky Ned Pepper's bandit stronghold" (7.581).
- They scarf some grub, and Mattie zonks out.
