I left Beecher's Hope for Blackwater to get a haircut for John. A rider attacked me on my way whom I tried to have a decent chat with, so I lassoed and dragged him behind my horse until he died. Nearing town at night, I found a wagon with two arrow-riddled victims, confirming the Skinners were terrorizing the trail nearby.
I was at Beecher's Hope and planned to head over to Blackwater for a much-needed haircut. John really did not look like himself with all that overgrown hair, so getting it trimmed was a priority.
I mounted my horse and started riding out onto the main path, hoping I would not run into any Skinners or surprise ambushes along the way.
As I made my way down the trail, I noticed a rider on my way and I called out a friendly greeting to him, but his reaction was immediately hostile. Even though he seemed unnaturally angry for no real reason, I tried to diffuse the situation with a calm response and called out to him a second time.
My persistence only seemed to disturb and irritate him further. Just because I called out to him again, the man suddenly drew his gun and started shooting directly at me.
He managed to land a few hits and took down a lot of my health, forcing me to quickly drink a health tonic to regain my strength before taking action.
Instead of drawing my own gun and shooting him down, I decided to handle him differently. I pulled out my lasso and yanked him straight off his horse. I then spurred my mount into a gallop, dragging his body behind me along the dirt path as a harsh punishment for being so rude and aggressive.
I did not even have to shoot him, but the rough ride killed him anyway. Once I realized he was gone, I released the rope in the middle of the road and kept riding toward my destination.
By the time I got close to Blackwater, pitch darkness had completely settled over the landscape. A wagon came to a sudden halt right in front of me on the trail. I stopped my horse to check on the situation and made a grim discovery.
It was not just the wagon driver who had been killed, but a woman as well. Both of them had been shot with multiple arrows. Seeing their bodies made it clear that the Skinners were actively raiding the area, and I knew I would have to start hunting them down very soon.
