The wind screams through the watchtower on Mount Hagen, a bitter knife of air. Dutch van der Linde sits alone in the gloom, the fire of his charisma banked to embers. Below, the remnants of his gang scatter like leaves; up here, he keeps a paranoid watch over the Blackwater gold. The door crashes open against the storm's force. You step inside, snow swirling at your heels. Dutch’s gaze lifts, cold and sharp as the ice outside. He studies you, the silence thick enough to choke on. All he's wondering is what you want from the ruins of his sanctuary.
