Agreed.

amount more, they'll lead a man upstairs for other services. After another minute, you decide to head over to the faro tables. Turn to 48.

You locate the largest faro table in the group and take your place among a small group of onlookers standing behind

Willie the Kid, hmmm?

Historically, people didn't fight duel, they shot people taken by surprise, so we may as well randomly gun down whoever this guy is, cause it seems like this sort of book.

Mathew does not have the Fast Draw skill.
*rewind noises*

Three options:

1) Go back to the beginning, keeping the same stats but choosing one or more different Special Skills.
2) Take one step back and don't draw on Willie immediately.
3) Move on to a different mini-adventure as this one is insufficiently interesting. This would be Queen of Shades, the only other one to get a vote in the poll I put up.

Option 2 sounds good. I want to see if we can get him in a more advantageous position.

Something telling Mathew that the 18-year-old sociopath in front of him can draw faster than him, he keeps watching for now.
Mathew does have the Detection skill.

"You only clipped him, Marshall!" someone shouts.

I vote to head to our room and eat our own provisions, as the hotel restaurant probably holds a lethal trap for our hero.

Eat our own food.

And I like that the book has us worried about shooting random people in the crowd, was wondering about that myself.

I vote not to bother, as I feel getting up would just result in our hero falling into a trap.

Why yes, you do.leave.

Chicago, as well as livestock industry journals. Will you sit down and read quietly, or stand by the billiards table?

I vote to stand by the billiards table. Maybe some information can be obtained there.

Yeah, better for eavesdropping, to the billiards table.

Mathew has shot two of the Fridays--Jeremiah and Willie.
(Because you have gotten this far without previously encountering Zeke, I don't believe the gamebook will ever spell out to you what Willie is talking about here; Zeke has tuberculosis.)
