He has a few stories to tell with no one to tell them to and offers you and your horse a chance to rest, eat, and drink while he talks and you listen. The stories he tells are of brutal bounty hunters, would-be heroes, gamblers, mysterious drifters, survivalists, revenge-seekers, and daring outlaws. As you listen you also hear tales of miners, and bartenders all just trying to make their way in the world.
