WELCOME TO

Agua Fria
AGUA FRIA: The dusty border town where people do business with money
and blood.

Notable residents include the MAYOR, the SHERIFF, the DEPUTY,

the SALOON OWNER, and the DOCTOR. all upstanding citizens in their
own, Agua Fria kind of way.

But there’s been some trouble as of late: a GANG OF OUTLAWS has

been raising havoc round these parts,
parts and rumour has it that their
notorious leader, TEXAS RED, has been hiding out in Agua Fria.

Thing is, nobody new has shown up here in a while, which leads folk to
think maybe Red’s been here the whole time. An Agua Fria local, a fine
citizen, with a DEADLY DOUBLE LIFE.

This’ll spell trouble for the town, no doubt. Texas Red is wanted all
over, and it’s only a matter of time before rangers, bounty hunters,
and the like descend upon this place
place, looking to make Texas Red...
Texas Dead.

Red needs to be found, before this all gets out of hand.

Good luck, and remember: in a town like this, fortune favours the mean,
the dirty, the cruel. In a town like this, you can’t trust anyone.

NOTE: If you’re playing with six players, there’s a new person in town:
The STRANGER, an out of town fella, who seems like he’s looking for
trouble.

UNLESS YOU

The Sheriff
 THE SHERIFF:
Being Sheriff is a tough job, a
thankless job, but it needs needs doing
so you don’t complain You’re the first
and only line of defense in this town
on the edge of the world.

You’ve got the DEPUTY to help you out, but

it’s just a paycheck to him. To you, it’s a
vocation.

But out here, things aren’t always so black and white as the MAYOR likes
to think. For example, since this TEXAS RED business started up, a bag of
gold has turned up on your front porch every week. It’s gotta be coming
from Red.
The way you see it, Red has caused trouble in other towns, not yours. The
way you see it, Red’s an Agua Fria local, and that’s someone you gotta look
after. The way you see it, Red‘s’ paying for your retirement, and that‘s a
good deed if you ever heard of one. If Texas Red was ever caught, those
bags of gold would stop appearing, and that’d be a shame.

You don’t know who Texas Red is, but you better make sure they stay
safe.

You’re more concerned with the crime that’s actually happening in Agua
Fria. Lately, horses have gone missing from outside the SALOON. There’s
a HORSE THIEF in town, and horse thieving is a capital crime,
That criminal needs to swing.

RUMOURS:
-The MAYOR’s been single a long time. Lately he’s had his eye on the
DEPUTY’s wife.
-The DOCTOR has got in trouble for practicing on corpses.

IF THERE’S SIX PLAYERS:

-This STRANGER who wandered into town looks like he means business.
He might be part of Red’s gang, or he might be another outlaw. Find
out who he is. He could be a useful ally... or a dangerous enemy.
 THE SHERIFF:
OBJECTIVES:
-Ensure Texas Red is never caught.
-Catch and kill the horse thief.
-Make sure the Mayor appoints a
trustworthy Vice-Mayor. Volunteer
yourself if you feel the candidates are
unsuitable.

ACTIONS:
Serve and Protect, that’s what you do. If you ever need to do some killing,
you do it proper. That means no hiding. If you try and kill someone,
everyone will know.

this piece of paper, and put it in the BALLOT BOX.

If you’re playing online, there is no Ballot Box. Secretly inform the

MODERATOR of your intended target and action instead

This action will be activated at the next TOWN MEETING, at the end of this
round.

until the following Town Meeting to be

for Death. Only one Save is required to
cancel all ongoing attempts on their life.
