A Night of Murder and Mayhem in the Wild West!
.jpg)
It’s the 1st Annual Deadwood Poker Tournament Party!
For weeks, people have been pouring into the small western town of Deadwood for the
biggest poker tournament this side of the Mississippi. From outlaws to marshals and saloon girls
to southern belles, everyone has made this small western frontier town THE place to be.
As the festivities of the poker tournament conclude, a celebration party is planned
at the Deadwood Saloon to award the prize money for the tournament and to celebrate
what is hoping to be a very financially successful venture for the saloon. With a smattering
of bandits, bankers, saloon girls, sheriffs, gamblers, east coast debutantes, and of course a
few of the locals, this is guaranteed to make for a very interesting evening indeed.
You would be a fool to miss this celebration!
Guest Totals:
For 20-80 guests: at least 7 males and at least 8 females.
For 15-20 guests: 7-9 males, 8-10 females, 0-1 gender neutral.
For 10-15 guests: 5-7 males, 5-7 females, 0-1 gender neutral.
For 8-12 guests: 4-6 males, 4-5 females, 0-1 gender neutral.
Harry High-Stakes: Owner of the Deadwood Saloon. As the organizer of this grand event, Harry has a lot at stake if it is not successful!
Henrietta High-Stakes: Wife to Harry High-Stakes. Although she has been spending less and less time at the saloon lately, could she be into something or someone else?
Gambling Jack: Gambler. Jack is known as the best hand in poker either side of the Mississippi and has not lost a major tournament in the last 5 years. Until now.
Anna Belle: Wife to Gambling Jack. Some say Anna Belle is the reason Gambling Jack always wins.
Mitch Maverick: Business man from the East. As the winner of the tournament, many question how a businessman could have such great card skills. Is he the next poker phenomenon?
Holly Hickok: Gambler. Holly is a real southern belle with a flare for poker. What is a girl like this doing in the Wild West?
Clay Coldwell: Local resident of Deadwood and once-known poker great. Although Clay has never met
Mitch Maverick, the two of them seem awful close after only knowing each other only a week.
Sheriff Sam: Sheriff of Deadwood. Although Sam is considered the law enforcement of this town, it has been said the only way to get anything ‘enforced’ is by offering him a bribe.
Montgomery Money: An investor from the East. Montgomery is in Deadwood on a business trip and rumor has it that he has his eye on purchasing the saloon. Montgomery just arrived last night for the party.
Elizabeth Money: Wife of Montgomery Money. Elizabeth has been here all week scouting out the land that her husband hopes to develop. Elizabeth is still not used to such rough and rugged ways.
Minnie Money: Debutante. As the sheltered daughter of Montgomery and Elizabeth Money, this is her first experience out West. Minnie’s trip has taught her a lot about the wild ways of life and the men it breeds.
Banker Bob: Bank of Deadwood owner. After Bob’s bank was robbed this week, Bob suspects the culprit is someone in need of ante money for the poker tournament. Will Bob take justice into his own hands to punish the bandit?
Banker Bonnie: Wife to Banker Bob. Bonnie is desperate for Bob’s attention and will do anything to get it.
Poker Alice: Poker dealer and the ex-wife of Jesse Wales. Alice now works for Harry dealing poker and serving drinks.
Marshal Dalton: Federal Marshal. Assigned to Deadwood to insure that there is no unlawful activity at the poker tournament. With outlaw rule becoming the way of the west these days, it is time the federal government put some order into place.
Sally Starr: Saloon girl. Sally has a great allegiance to both Harry and Henrietta High-Stakes and wants to see the saloon thrive at all costs.
Taffy Garrett: Saloon girl. Taffy is the eyes and ears of the saloon, someone who might know a little too much about what is about to go down.
Billy-the-Bartender: The saloon bartender and bookkeeper. Billy knows the saloon life from every side of the coin. Literally.
Jesse Wales: An outlaw and old comrade of Harry’s. Is Jesse here to meet up with old acquaintances or is this purely a business trip?
Black Barbara: Outlaw. Barbara’s been in town all week and no one knows quite why.
For 20-80 guests: at least 7 males and at least 8 females.
For 15-20 guests: 7-9 males, 8-10 females, 0-1 gender neutral.
