Start
I have heard what happened to your Outpost - burned down to the ground. I am really sorry to hear that. I hope you find the culprits. It smells like somebody wanted to keep you from snooping around...Maybe you can find some clues at Newport, horrible things are happening there. Water is drained from the surrounding. Rumors say that people sign up for slave camps just to get water.The town is located in the very Southwest of the map. You cannot miss it, Newport is the biggest town in the prairie.
 Finish
I wish you'd find who is behind these happenings at Newport. My gut tells me that these incidents are linked to your outpost. If you need something, just tell me.

You decide to call it a day as you are tired from your journey here.You say goodbye to Sam. It is time for you to part. She hugs you and gives you a goodbye present - her lucky tooth.Sam:This has always brought me luck, my father gave it to me. Now it shall fortune you. I have to look for my family. Please find the culprits behind the problems in this town.You decide to call it a day and go check for a cozy bed in the hotel.
 Finish
The next morning... You back aches from the cheap hotel bed and your breath still stinks from the drinks you had at the hotel bar.You wanted to get some information in the bar but nobody talked to you about the town. At least, the saloon keeper told you to best pay the mayor of this town a visit. There you can get some detailed information about the drained town.

Mayor: Welcome to Newport, {PLAYER_NAME}. Your business here are strange happenings you say? Yes, we are obviously short on water here but it is only a period of aridity. Therefore a lot of thieves are lingering around the area. The last water reserves are being kept in the bank. That is irony, we keep water in the bank instead of dollars.If you want to help here, instead of sniffing around, you better guard the bank from water thieves. Set up some traps.
 Finish
Mayor:Nice, you found some traps to guard the bank. You know, without water, there is nothing but dust and decay. But with water, there is life. That is the immutable law of the desert. You control the water, and you control everything...Muahahaha...Uhm...sorry about that I am sometimes saying weird things...Anyway, you keep a close eye on that bank tonight.Something about this mayor seems weird. You do not trust this person... Still, you walk to your assigned position at the bank.

Something smells fishy here. You are positive that this whole sheriff duty thing is a pretext to keep you away from sniffing around. The mayor's gunslinger is always around keeping an eye on you.During your rest you were able to scheme a plan how to check the bank inconspicuously. The bank has to put every sum above 1000 Dollars into the safe. This is a good way to take a sneaky look into the water reserves. You have to pay the money into a bank that is not located in your own town.
 Finish
You get to the bank to pay in your money. As the bank accountant flings open the safe door she stops in terror - the water reserve is gone. No way! Somebody has to have stolen it!You hurry to report to the mayor.
