Storyline[]
Day 1[]
First Arrival[]
Mayor Howlihan: - Are you Dillon and Russ?
Russ: - Yes! I'm Russ, and this...
Mayor Howlihan: - There's no time for introductions. Just get ready to fight.
Russ: - What? Right now? But we just got here!
Mayor Howlihan: - I got a new weapon for the towers -- long cannon. Shoots farther than regular guns.
- Then there's the plug crystal that lets you hold up grocks from coming out of a den.
- Also, you'll have noticed the plains're chuck of full of mud puddles 'round these partes.
- Choose you trail carefully, or you'll have trouble keeping you precious spikes clean.
- That's all, small fry. So if you got all that, you can get down to work!
Russ: - Hey, we're rangers! We can take care of anything!
Mayor Howlihan: - Really? Well, tell me then...
- What is the ranger creed? What words do all rangers live by?
Russ: - It's "Never run away!"
- Or is it "Respect your brother!"? Hmmm...
Mayor Howlihan: - You're barking up the wrong tree. You pups don't know anything.
Russ: - What? All right then, what do you think the answer is?
Mayor Howlihan: - It's "Practice makes perfect." It's as simple as that.
Russ: - I-I-I was going to say that... Hey... you seem to know a lot about being a ranger!
Mayor Howlihan: - That's right... 'Cause I used to be a dang good one.
Prep Time[]
Russ: - A former ranger turned mayor? Wow!
- Did you see that huge scar on his face?
- He sure is a tough act to follow.
- And really scary to boot!
[After 5 minutes in the plains.]
Russ: - Hey! Look at the sky...
- The village will be locked during a raid.
- If you've got bussiness in the village, do it now!
[After 6 minutes in the plains.]
Russ: - Watch out! The grocks are coming!
Free Time (Saloon) Day 1[]
[Select Buy Gear]
Sal: - Psst! Hey, ranger!
- You'll need some better boots to go up against stronger enemies.
[Sal selling Rhino Hide Boots for 1950. Select Rest to proceed.]
Mayor Howlihan: - Finished your vittles? Then hit the hay.
Russ: - Eek! Yes, sir! Mr. Ranger, sir!
Mayor Howlihan: - I'm not a ranger anymore! You shavers are.
Russ: - Yes, yes. And we won't forget it!
Mayor Howlihan: - Ah, yes. One more thing. I hear you're saving up cash for something. That right?
Russ: - Um, no! Not at all! We're flat-out broke!
[Mayor Howlihan showed an poster of an outlaw.]
Mayor Howlihan: - Hey, you don't have to worry about me stealing it. I just want to warn you.
- Take a good look at this face. He goes by the name King Ron.
Russ: - Rin Kong?
Mayor Howlihan: - He's a desperado who shows up wherever there's a whiff of money.
- Be careful when you're in town flashing your cash around. That's all I'll say.
- Good luck for tomorrow. You'll need it...
Day 2[]
Prep Time[]
Russ: - Morning, buddy.
- I've been talking to the villagers.
- They say their mayor used to be a real gunslinger. We don't wanna mess with him.
- Let's make sure we don't give him anything to complain about.
- He probably wouldn't hesitate to lock us up in the pokey and throw away the key.
- I can just hear him: "We don't need anyone playing ranger in these parts!"
- Then *slam!* No more roaming for us!
[After 5 minutes in the plains.]
Russ: - Did you hear that? It’s almost time...
- If you wanna go to the village, go now!
[After 6 minutes in the plains.]
Russ: - Watch out! The grocks are coming!
Free Time (Saloon) Day 2[]
[Select Rest to proceed.]
Mayor Howlihan: - Tomorrow's your last day, "Practice makes perfect," remember?
Russ: - Practice makes perfect... Practice makes perfect... Must remember...
Mayor Howlihan: - Hey! Quit messing around. You pups need to grow up fast!
- One more thing...
- You may be greenhorns, but somethin' in your troubled past toughened you up.
- You've got courage and real guts. Nothing frightens you.
- Exactly what happened in the city to make you yearn to come out west?
Russ: - Nothing bad happened. Well, we didn't do anything wrong.
- It's just we've never known our parents.
- I guess that's what you mean by "troubled past," right?
Mayor Howlihan: - So, a pair of guttersnipes... That's a real tear squeezer.
- But to become a good ranger, you need to understand the troubles of others too...
- I'm looking forward to seeing what the future holds for you. I bet you'll be unbeatable.
Day 3[]
Prep Time[]
Russ: - Morning, buddy.
- I think we'll be seeing that Springgrock again today.
- Boing! It really jumps around, doesn't it?
- If we don't take care of it quickly, it'll jump into the village...
- Don't forget! Boing! Boing!
[After 5 minutes in the plains.]
Russ: Did you hear that? It’s almost time...
- If you wanna go to the village, go now!
[After 6 minutes in the plains.]
Russ: - Watch out! The grocks are coming!

Free Time (Saloon) Day 3[]
[Select Leave Town to proceed.]
Mayor Howlihan: - You did it, rangers! Just as I expected.
Russ: - Eh? We didn't realize you had that much faith in us.
Mayor Howlihan: - I didn't! Well, not at first anyway.
- But after I saw what you could do in a fight, I started to believe that you could suceed where I had failed.
Russ: - You? Failed? How?
Mayor Howlihan: - I once failed to protect the village from a bandit attack. Lots of people got hurt...
- I've been atoning for it ever since.
Russ: - Ah... I see.
Mayor Howlihan: - But I've never forgotten what it means to be ranger.
Russ: - Neither will we! You taught us that.
Mayor Howlihan: - I reckon I did. And can you tell me what the secret to being a ranger is?
Russ: - "Cactus makes perfect!"
Mayor Howlihan: - Kid, you need to get yourself some schooling as soon as possible. You hear?
