Madeline will convince Easy Pete who has explosives.

Madeline believes that having a good supply of explosives will be useful for any coming showdown with the Powder Gangers. The Powder Gangers love their dynamite so maybe the people of Goodsprings can give them a dose of their own medicine.

While at Goodsprings and after a nice hot meal thanks to Trudy and a clean wash Madeline proceeds to ask Sunny about Easy Pete.

"Where does this Easy Pete live?" Madeline says, after finishing up some pancakes "How do you think I can convince Easy Pete to help us?"

"Well--he normally hangs out just out side--otherwise you can find his house not too far away. Just finish your meal then go look for him. He used to be a prospector--just a fancy word for scavenger. But he raises Big Horners now. If you can impress him with some explosive knowledge then that will be helpful." Sunny nods Madeline a good day and leaves the Saloon out the back door.

Madeline finishes her meal and then heads outside the Prospector Saloon. Just like Sunny said Easy Pete was outside in rocking chair. The old grizzeled man looked like his skin was tanned leather it was so dark. A simple hat on his head and overalls gives him the queint-essential cowboy farmer feeling.

"Well good day little lady." the old man says with a welcoming grin.

"Easy Pete right?" Madeline asks shyly.

"That's me. Who's asking?"

"My name is Madeline."

"A pleasure to meet ya" he grins "What can this old farm hand do fer ya today?"

"Looks like Goodsprings is going to be for a tough time--the Powder Gangers want to come cause some problems. Sunny Smiles says you know your way around some explosives and have a stash somewhere. Trudy, Sunny, me and some others are looking to help defend the town. Any explosives you could help us out with would help." Madeline leans against a nearby column hopeful of a response.

"Hmmmmmm" He grimices "I got plenty of explosives hidden away that is true." He looks Madeline up and down.

"But thing is I don't just give em away to anyone--even good people." He explains "See I don't want to give you folks some explosives to just go off and blow yourselves up. Seen too many well intention'ed fools not know how to use a stick of dynamite and they just get them and all them around em killed."
