Woodgrass is usually alive with the sound of saloons, guitar strings, and the steady rhythm of sheriffs patrolling its wooden streets—but tonight the air is still, and the frost on the rooftops is wrong. A chilling, unnatural cold rolls in across the desert, and townsfolk whisper a name older than the Cactus Republic itself: Baxter Lich.
Once a proud @Wendigo rancher and gunslinger, Baxter lost everything when misguided cowboys slaughtered his family under false accusations. Broken by grief, he turned to forbidden wendigo magic, returning from death as a skeletal revenant. Now he rides through Woodgrass under a cursed moon, dealing out philosophical vengeance upon anyone he deems “part of the cycle.” His six-shooters scream with frostfire, and his voice drips with haunted wisdom that chills the bones.
The Cactus Republic Council has issued a desperate call for help. Sheriff Armstrong, seasoned demon-hunter and hero of Woodgrass, stands firm but admits this fight is beyond one cowboy’s might. Deputy Sally Freedom, steady-handed sharpshooter with dreams of joining the Knights of Xmas, watches the rooftops from her perch, her rifle gleaming in the night as she vows to protect her town.
@The Knights of Xmas or @United Nations of Joy mission is to track Baxter Lich through the wooden alleys, abandoned mines, and snowy dunes now forming around Woodgrass. His presence warps the land, creating sudden blizzards and summoning frostbitten spirits. If he reaches the town hall, he’ll unleash a curse powerful enough to freeze the entire Cactus Republic. Stopping him won’t be easy—Baxter’s guns are fast, his philosophy sharp, and his hatred colder than winter itself.
Bring him down before Woodgrass becomes his graveyard of revenge. Sheriff Armstrong and Deputy Sally have your back… but you’ll need every ounce of grit to survive his final draw.
