Wilson’s Carpenter Shop
“Robert Wilson runs this shop with the help of his son
Billy. They turn out finished wood items
for sale, and will also sell raw materials (lumber, nails, etc.) to anyone
who’s interested. The pair live in the back of the building, which doubles as a
workshop and living quarters.”
McCurdy’s Saloon
“This is the biggest and the busiest place in town. The owner
and proprietor, Gil McCurdy is loud and raucous, with manners little better
than those of the people his saloon serves. The bartender is Danny Tucker who
is on duty about 12 hours a day.
The only unusual aspect of McCurdy’s Saloon is a heavily guarded
room at the back of the second floor. This room has served as Brimstone’s
unofficial “bank” since the early days of the town. Only twice in the town’s
history have men tried to gun down a guard and rob the bank, and on each
occasion they were filled full of bullet holes — not only by the guard, but by
quite a few of the saloon’s patrons, before they had even made it to the locked
door.”
Brimstone Livery Stable
“John Stevens is the owner and proprietor. There is a decent chance
he will be working on the premises at any time. Otherwise, he may be in his
living quarters in the building or somewhere else in town. John puts up three
stable hands who each work an 8-hour shift every day.
John’s stable and corral are almost always full, but there
always seems to be room for one more horse if a customer is willing to pay
John’s prices. Three horses are for sale.”
Kate’s Place
“This is a somewhat run-down but very respectable drinking and
gambling establishment, with emphasis on the gambling part. Kate James is the
owner and proprietor. She is homely and
gruff, and she hates customers cheating at her gambling tables even more than
she dislikes having a fight break out at the bar. She and her employees don’t
have a lot of difficulty keeping order, and they prefer to cater to the quiet
sort of customer who isn’t inclined to bother anyone else.
The house dealer at Kate’s is Seymour “Aces” Mills. The bartender is a burly, surly character
known simply as “Mister John”. He is
primarily responsible for keeping order at Kate’s Place.”
