Any Ideas?

She smirked as she said, "Great now I'm a Blacksmith. (sigh) Maybe I might find the others in the Saloon?"

Jade entered town, the sounds of a scuffle in the saloon were obvious. She dismounted, loosely tying the horse next to the water trough and headed for the bar. Knowing the Dwarfers, where there was trouble, there were crew members. She wasn’t the only one headed for the saloon, looked like she Sheriff, if indeed that’s what the star badge represented, was also on his way over. That was when the first shot rang out, echoing across the dusty street. She hit the deck, but it wasn’t needed, as the bullet headed the other way, and sunk with a hollow thuck into the sheriff’s chest. She scrambled to her feet, spurs clinking as she ran across to the fallen man. She slowed as she approached, knowing there was nothing she could do for him. The lucky, or unlucky depending on your perspective, shot had penetrated between his eyes.

“Well smeg.” She swore, looking back towards the saloon.

=========================================================

As the Sheriff fell to the ground Evelina paused in shock and quickly took cover in case another shot was fired. As she did so she saw a few other locals run for it. As she looked around expecting to find at least one Dwarfer in the middle of the gun fight she saw a one armed cowgirl with a horse near the side of the saloon. The woman looked very familiar as she tried to get a look at her face. However it was hard from her angle so she looked around to see if she could get a better angle from a safe place. After seeing a somewhat blocked path she made a break for it as she scurried around barrels, hay bales and wagons to make her way towards the one armed cowgirl.

After a awkward and round about way she made it to the same side as the cow girl and whispered, "Psssssstttt! Psssssstttt! yo doc."

Jade turned around to see Evelina waving from behind a barrel. Jade was still behind her horse at the time so Evelina checked to make sure the shooting stopped as she stood up and hurried over to Jade and the horse.

Evelina said, "I'm glad I found you, but I have a bad feeling the others are in the saloon. Any ideas on how to help them without getting shot like the Sheriff?"

Jade patted the horse as she tried to think of something.
