(I hate to be picky but if it's 1862, according to the first post, how are you selling guns from the future? Did you mean 1882?)

Yeah, sorry for not making it more realistic, but a lot of websites I go on says there wasn't that many guns from the 1860s. Thus, I had to improvise.

Name: Gregory "Booze Beard" Pearson
Age: 29
Appearance: Overweight, Big beard, Ragged outfit, And a big face with wrinkles on it.
Bio: Gregory has had a poor and painful life over-all because he grew up in an orphanage and wasn't successful in anything, and usually took the pain away with booze (hence the nick-name). But at one moment he actually got things rolling for a bit, he had a store and everything. But then things only went down again. So, he thought to himself "Well, things really can't go any worse" so he decided to take a try at Texas. Maybe things could work there.
Perk: Survival (has learned to take care of himself)
Traits: Good trait: A Good drinker: Giving him a kind of boost in personality. Bad trait: A really good drinker. If you know what i mean.

The man gives you the gun and says,"Have a nice day.... I know I won't. Then you leave. You head to the General Store and when you get there you are greeted by the man behind the counter he says to you,"Hello sir, how are you today?" What do you do?

"Well hello to you, I've never been better.. I'm looking for food, what do you have on sale..?"

The man says," Well I am not sure about the pickaxe, but I can tell you were to get a good six-shooter. All you have to do is go into the town and go towards the bar. It should be right next to it."

(Sorry about that I must have not seen it.)

You walk down to the gunshop. While you are walking you notice some of the buildings. A Genral Store, an Inn, and a Bar. You also see at the end of the town the Sheriff Office.

I quickly try to 'toss' him, by pushing him towards the man who shot me, and then shoot him, immediately before shooting the one who shot me (always aiming for the head). I then point the gun at the man who had the pickaxe.

You give the man your money, although slighty feeling ripped off you walk to your room. When you walk into your room you see an out-of-shape bed and two desks. Then there's the bathroom, which smells like someone died in it.

You manage to get the guy off you by throwing him at the guy with the gun. Then the man with the gun fires, but misses and hits the guy with the axe in is hand. The axe man still manages to be ok, but he is hurt badly. You aim for the head of the man with the pickaxe and fire. It hits him right in the eye. He falls down dead. Then you manage to get up and hide behind a nearby rock.

Note: When you got shot you are bleeding and that slowly takes away your health by two percent each post. You need to find a medic or a local doctor.

I think I was misunderstood, a bit. I didn't really want to shoot the guy with the pickaxe, just threaten him before getting him to jail or something (unless he fought back, in which case I would've shot). Anyhow, it's not his death that aches me, but the armed man's survival.
My priority still is the guy with the gun. I try to take a peek from where I am, before rolling on the ground and shooting, aiming for his head. No matter what, I am intent on killing him before moving on to the wounded guy (I shoot him as well, unless he is too hurt to be able to attack me).
