Howdy, son! How can I help you? But make it quick. Goddamn heat's worse in this town than in the middle of a Brahmin herd at noon.

You look more than just too hot - what's the matter?
|
Surprise 20
|
[SUCCEEDED] Sharp eyes on you, all right. We've gone through a heap of trouble to get in town. Ethel says I just need to wet my throat.
|

|
| Neutral 50
|
A drink? Nonsense. All I need right now is to settle a score. We didn't come a long ways just to stroll our best clothes around.

Then have, I don't know, some water or something.

Goodbye.

I have questions about you.
|
Neutral 50

Okay. What'd you want know?
|
12
|
| VMS25WalterPhebusTopic005
|
I'd like to ask you about the Wasteland.
|
Neutral 50
|
I know it better than my wife's corset! What about it, kid?
|
13
|
| VMS25WalterPhebusTopic006
|
Let's talk about Heck Gunderson.
|
Neutral 50
|
I hear you. What's on your mind?
|
14
|
| VMS25WalterPhebusTopic007
|
What was that about settling a score?
|
Anger 50
|
There's a long list of grievances that Heck Gunderson's got to answer for, kid. I'm here to make sure that "rancher" stops stealing our lands.
|
15
|
| Anger 90
|
If he ain't chiseling behind your back, he just sends his men, ready for a fight. Then you either "sell" your ranch for a penny or you're dead.
|
16
|
| Neutral 50
|
I'm tired of being trampled over, kid, and I got a good mind to stop Heck once and for all.
|
17
|
| What was that about settling a score?
|
Neutral 50
|
I came to take care of Heck Gunderson. That bastard's taking over any ranch he spots in The Wasteland.
|
18
|
| VMS25WalterPhebusTopic009
|
I have news about the Gundersons
|
Surprise 50
|
You have? What are you waiting for, kid? Spill the beans!
|
19
|
| VMS25WalterPhebusTopic012
|
How do Wastelanders cope with current times?
|
Happy 50
|
{Bragging Jokingly} Steeling our pure-breed resolve, that's how! We've faced the Wasteland right in the old mug and told her to shove it!
|
20
|
| Anger 50
|
Listen, we own these lands, and I'll be damned if the NCR, those Legion bastards, or anyone else tries to walk all over us.

|
22
|
| VMS25WalterPhebusTopic013
|
Maybe Heck would listen to your pleas if his son's life was at stake.
|
Sad 70
|
A ransom? I doubt that snake's got enough soul to care that much for his own youngin. Besides, what's to stop him after his son's returned?
|
23
|
| Anger 50
|
Nah, Heck only knows greed and pain, kid. It's high time he got paid back in kind. His life, or his son's, either way I win.
|
24
|
| VMS25WalterPhebusTopic014
|
Heck's life and a safe future have a steep price, Walter. 1000 caps' my fee.
|
Neutral 50
|
[SUCCEEDED] I'll pay that much and die a happy man when my time comes. So, we got a deal?
|
25
|
| VMS25WalterPhebusTopic015
|
Heck's life? That's big game, a 1000 caps.
|
Neutral 50
|
[FAILED] Cut that in half and we got a clean deal, kid.
|
26
|
| VMS25WalterPhebusTopic016

I want to talk to you about our deal.
|
Neutral 50
|
I hear you. What's on your mind?
|
27
|
| VMS25WalterPhebusTopic017
|
You're not from around here, are you?
|
Neutral 50
|
Darn far it is, our ranch. Ethel would be happy to yap about that - I got more important things in mind, kid.
|
28
|
| VMS25WalterPhebusTopic018
|
Are you a Bighorn rancher?
|
Neutral 50
|
Bighorners' my trade since I was a youngin. I confess it's hard living these days, kid. The Wasteland ain't the same anymore.
|
29
|
| VMS25WalterPhebusTopic019
|
What else can you tell me about Heck Gunderson?
|
Neutral 50
|
What more you want? He's a slithering snake, what he is. One of the biggest landowners this side of the Colorado and it's all stolen, I tell you.
|
30
|
| Anger 50
|
All that money buys him any NCR senators he wants - scoundrels, like Heck. There's just no way for us small folks to get by, much less prosper, kid.
|
31
|
| VMS25WalterPhebusTopic020
|
Heck claims to be an honest rancher.
|
Neutral 50
|
Sure, kid, and I still hump like a buck in Spring. That Gunderson's a liar and born of a viper, I swear.
|
32
|
| VMS25WalterPhebusTopic021
|
What do you plan to do about him?
|
Anger 50
|
I have no illusions that he'll ever stop his plundering. So I'm just going to make him suffer, that's what I'm going to do.
|
33
|
| Happy 50
|
Here, in town, he's got few of his armed men to protect him. I just got to find out what's he up to and then I'll know where to hit him hard.
|
34
|
| What do you plan to do about him?
|
Neutral 50
|
Like I said, kid. Someone's got to rein that greedy son of a gun.
|
35
|
| VMS25WalterPhebusTopic022
|
Heck's looking for his disappeared son. I've agreed to find him.
|
Happy 50
|
I'll be damned! You mean the young Gunderson? That's a shave tail if I ever saw one - he's got less sense than a Brahmin at a crossroads.
|
36
|
| Neutral 50
|
I'd not be one to complain if he got lost for good, kid... If it makes Heck suffer then I'm all for it.
|
37
|
| VMS25WalterPhebusTopic023
|
I may be able to help you.
|
Happy 50
|
Where I come from, we appreciate good intentions. I reckon you could help me figure out what's he doing in town.

How is Heck a threat to other ranchers in The Wasteland?
|
Anger 50
|
We are honest folk out there, damn hard to make a living in the desert, kid. Heck's a different breed, goddamn thief he is.
|
50
|
| Pained 70
|
Scaring us into giving away our lands is all he's done to strike it flush - comes packing iron and none can hold a candle to his men - bad blood.
|
51
|
| VMS25WalterPhebusTopic033
|
I'll take care of them.
|
Neutral 50
|
Ethel's going to be madder than a wet hen but you reap what you sow, kid, and Heck's earned every ounce of misery he gets. So, we have a deal?
|
52
|
| VMS25WalterPhebusTopic034
|
Heck's a powerful man - I'd need extra for his son's life, 500 caps.
|
Surprise 20

It turns out that Ted Gunderson's disappeared. Heck's looking for him.

Kid, look around you, there's poison and death everywhere, and people like Heck are responsible for the misery we suffer.

You might like to know that Heck's barely protected, right now.
|
Surprise 50
|
So, Ted's nowhere to be found and Heck's quite unprotected while looking for him, huh?
|
74
|
| Happy 50
|
Hell, it sounds like the perfect time to get even. Heck won't know what hit him, what do you say?
|
75
|
| VMS25WalterPhebusTopic051

We said 1000 for Heck, right?
|
Neutral 50

That's what we said. So, do we have a deal?

[FAILED] Same, the right of might, kid. The Gundersons will pay for all their crimes and that's final.

83

You are just giving them the excuse they need.
|
Surprise 30

Why was Heck such a threat to other ranchers?
|
Neutral 50
|
People like Heck are rotten, kid, plenty of them in the Wasteland. They'll shoot you, kidnap your family, or drive NCR troops through your lands.
|
89
|
| Anger 50
|
Whatever it takes to step over us honest folk is good enough in their book. Heck has bought NCR senators left and right, and then is even worse.
