You decided to go to Wilson's farm, after all. He's a good and honest man, and last year’s experience was a positive one. You hope to find something to do away from the sun.Wilson: Hello, I remember you! You've been here last year, am I right? I think I have a special task for you. I'll pay you $50 on top each day and you will coordinate the work at the farm in the morning. In the afternoons, I'd like you to help me prepare everything for the harvest festival. As every year, we will have a festival after the harvest during which I want to take part in a western competition. As soon as the sun rises, start harvesting the grain. It seems we'll have some stormy weather coming up and I wouldn’t like the grain to get wet before harvesting.
 Finish
Wilson: See you in the afternoon.

Wilson has gone to the nearest town to take care of the harvest festival preparations. He is one of the hosts this year. While he is away for several days, you take care of the entire farm. Now you've finished harvesting the grain and it's time for the corn.The heat becomes more and more unbearable with every day. Fortunately, there is a well in the area, so you don’t run out of water. You and 15 other people have been working in the cornfields for two days. Wilson should be back from town soon, and there will be new tasks, for sure. It seems that the work is going pretty slow and you should speed up. You are counting the collected sacks of corn when suddenly one of the farm hands runs towards you.A man: Hey, boss! Everyone here is sick... everyone! I think I'm also sick... - the man takes a deep breath – They all have the same symptoms: fever, convulsions, stomach pain and a splitting headache. A doctor is needed - and as soon as possible.
 Finish
The closest town is a few miles away, but you will surely find a doctor there.

As you leave, you find a few empty vials with a powdery residue. You don't know exactly why, but you pick them up and put them in your pocket. You are not feeling well yourself and after a few miles of riding you start to feel a pain in your stomach. The minute you arrive at Crystal Town you hear a familiar voice.Wilson: What are you doing here? Why are you not on the farm? I have trusted you...At that moment you faint. You wake up in the doctor's office and show the bottles you found to the doctor.Doctor: Mr. Wilson, it looks like your employees have been poisoned. Someone probably sprinkled this powder into the water they drank, into a well, perhaps. If I'm right, we don't have much time to get the medicine to your farm, Mr. Wilson. You have a fast horse, please take these pills and give them to your employees. Me and {PLAYER_NAME} will join you in a few hours once the medicine I prescribed starts working.
 Finish
Doctor: Thank you for your help. I couldn't have prepared 15 medical packages myself without your help. I'm glad you're feeling better now. Let's go, we have no time to lose.

After two days of rest and recovery, it's time to get back to work. Meanwhile, the sheriff started investigating the poisoned well. Everything indicates that it was not an accident.Wilson: How are you, gentlemen? I'm glad you're back on your feet again. The land has dried up and it's time to harvest the potatoes. Ah, and the sheriff wanted to talk to you. One more thing; I would also need a few little things for Daisy. Here's the list. When you are in town, go to the blacksmith and buy those items for me, please. Oh wait, I had a message from John. The sheriff asked you to take the road that leads through the ghost town.
 Finish
Wilson: Thank you so much for your help. What did John say?

Bandit duels won : 20/20

Start
This time, you travel in a cart, bringing with you a wheat delivery. As you pass the ghost town, a group of armed bandits jumps out from behind the dusty buildings. You quickly grab your revolver and jump out of the carriage without much thought to defend the coachman. The cloud of dust behind the carriage masked your movements perfectly and the bandits do not even realize that you are already behind them. From your hiding place, between buildings, you shoot at oil barrels. As one of the bandits starts to flee, he trips over a wire and accidentally opens a crate full of feathers. It l looked quite funny when he was leaving the ghost town in a hurry with all the feathers stuck on him.
 Finish
After several shots at the bandits, sheriff John comes and helps you fend off the attackers.

Don't thank me, you would have done the same for me. No big deal. Look, I wanted to talk to you about Wilson's farm. I've been investigating this poisoned well. It seems it was a deliberate act, but I still don't know who did it and why. You will be my eyes and ears on the farm, ok? I think Wilson got involved in something. Or it is an unbelievable coincidence. And these bandits... they attack all the food delivery wagons. And you know, you may be right, maybe someone wanted to steal Wilson's supplies. Did you find anything else besides the poison tubes at the farm? Hmm... torn pieces of cloth? Show me!
 Finish
Look, if you put them together, they look like a map. What is this? Where is it? Looks like a treasure map!

After returning to the farm, you tell Wilson everything John said. However, the story with the treasure seems a bit too much like a fairy-tale... or pirate-like.Wilson: Hmm... there has never been any treasure here. However, this area used to be a Native American settlement. They had left this land even before my ancestors came. Many years ago, pilgrims from Europe came here. They found an abandoned Native American place and decided to settle here. In the very first winter, the entire settlement fell ill and not all of them survived. The survivors suffered from hunger and cold. They had no food, no drugs, no knowledge of the area. The following winter, a member of a Native American settlement came to the pilgrims and taught them a lot of things, how to cultivate the land, how to fish in the local rivers, how to prepare supplies for the winter. Since then, our family has always participated in the harvest festival with powwows in the nearby village. We are very close friends. But I've never heard of any treasure. Besides, I don't have time to deal with such nonsense. Treasure, pah! Sounds like some kids are having fun. Regarding the harvest festival, my family always prepares turkey with bread. Could you get me some turkeys? I would also need to grind the grain so that my wife can bake a lot of bread.
 Finish
Wilson: As always, you did a great job. We need to rest a bit, tomorrow is a big day. Would you care for a sip of good whiskey?

You spent the last evening talking about ancestors and relations with the nearby Native American villagers. It was very refreshing. You were thinking a lot about Waupee and how you are like brothers after so many years. Wilson: Would you like to go to the race with me? Daisy likes you. My friend will perform a dance during the harvest festival, dressed as an eagle. I completely forgot that he asked me for a feather. Is there any chance you can get some for me?
 Finish
Wilson: We won! We won the costume contest! Look at this medal, isn't it beautiful?

Wilson: Come to the festival with me, I think you'll enjoy it. You will see our friends celebrate the end of harvest. I like the bear dance the most....On the way to the village, Wilson tells you about the tradition of shared feasting. It all began with the harvest done by the first pilgrims in the area. By working together and exchanging knowledge, two different families from different cultures come together every year to celebrate friendship.
 Finish
Wilson: Take this, it is the medal we won today. Take it as a symbol of our friendship. We still haven't figured out who poisoned our water, or why. We may get to the bottom of it at the next harvest festival. And maybe we'll even find a treasure then, hehe.
