 BoneTown
is a major attraction for evildoers. A gold rush, many years ago, got all
the gold-seeking scum over here, where a city was founded on blood and
money. As soon as you try'n enter the town, you'll be blocked by a few
guards, and will be asked to pay an entrance fee. The more hated you are,
the cheaper to get it. For instance, if you've got a bounty on your head,
you'll be able to enter for free! If you have positive Alignment, you'll
be charged $500 (with the money creatures give you at this point, who cares).
If you have no, or negative Alignment, you'll be charged a mear $10. Once
in, you'll notice that this town is slightly larger than most cities, other
than GreenTree. It's 2x1, so it's interesting to check around what the
city has to offer. |

As
you walk through the town, you'll have several encounters. Some of them
aren't as bad as you'd thought, seeing you ARE inside a town. You might
Encounter two mobs starting a fight. If you try to stop the fight, you'll
get your ass kicked down to 10 HP, but have a chance out of four to make
+1 Alignment. If you fight both sides at once, but get your ass kicked,
they'll take you outside the city to hang you three miles northeast from
the city (don't worry, the rope'll give in some time after they're gone,
allowing you to live). Other times, you'll have a thief come after you.
If you run, you have a chance out of two of losing him. If you get beat
up, he won't kill you, he'll just take the seeked money: $1000. Then you
might come across him mugging a drunked man. If you help the thief, you'll
get -2 Alignment and a small amounth of money. If you help the man, you'll
get +1 Alignment and a burp. Stick in Bone town until you have 100 of Alignment.
It might take you a few days, a few weeks, be patient. You'll need those
Alignment points to complete the game, and believe me this IS the best
spot. |

During
your stay here, there's a few games you can do to win/lose money Start
by going to the Pawn Shop in [West BoneTown] and talk to Selena. She's
the one you must conduct business with in BoneTown. Now head for Jester's
Casino. If you got a bounty on your head, though, this time you can't come
in. Two cames are available: Craps, which is a dice game, and Slots Machine.
Craps is simple: Two dices, you add up the results. If you roll two or
three, you instantly lose. If you roll seven or eleven, yu instantly win.
Any other number is kept as your "Point", and you roll again. On the second
try, you gotta roll over and over until you roll your point. When you do,
you win, but if you roll a seven or eleven (on the second try), the game
stops and you lose. As for the slots machine, you win a certain times the
amount gambled according to the result, regardless of the order they are
in. You have 17 on 216 chances of winning, ranging from 2 times your bet
to 100 times your bet. Betting is limited to a certain amount per day,
determined by your SysOp. When you cannot gamble anymore, a large greasy
figure will show up and stop you from playing anymore. |

There's
old ruins in the center of the city. It's used as an arena for people to
fight. You participation in there is that you may gamble $200 on yourself.
You'll be fighting a random caracter, from week to strong. The way the
caracter's stats are created is randomly, yet according to your own stats.
It is a very similar process than when you go to the Training Center in
GreenTree. If you win, you double your $200, but if you lose, you lose'em.
You don't get killed in those fights though. Though the gladiators die
if they lose the fight, they keep the crowd alive so that they may come
back again. If you lose, you'll be rather week though, and you should be
running to mommy's (or the healers, whichever you like best). Take note
that you may participate an many times a day as you wish, but as soon as
you lose, that's it for the day. How long can you last, loser? |

If
you move to [East BoneTown] now, there is more you passed by earlier in.
First the FunHouse. It's a free establishment, but there's a $100 tip to
give to the doorman. Once inside there's a few people. In the bottem left,
the white caracter will bring you by boat to ArrisVille, PortTown or FlagCity
for different costs, in the upperleft corner a guy sells small fuzzy animals
for $1000 (no use was determined yet), the dark blue caracter on a table
on the right will play Craps with you (practival for bounty headed who
can't get in the casino, but you're still limited to the same amount of
gamble), and there's a dance floor. Still in [East BoneTown] there's a
borthel where you can get laid for $100 (still with 20% chances of getting
VD). You have a chance out of five of getting too worked out and falling
out of the window. Then there's the BoneTown Bar where you may have a drink
and listen to rumors. There's a caracter called One Eye there that'll be
a key caracter when you become evil. |
