In 1876, Professor Thomas Huntington was working on a “trans-
dimensional displacement device” at his ranch house east of Salt
Lake City. Then a lab explosion blasted his house to flinders. All that
remained was a single doorframe, some charred floorboards, and
Huntington’s shadow burnt onto the floor.

This chapter explores the environs of Huntington Ruins and the folks
dwelling there. Although there are a few secluded spots for a posse
to make camp and check the lay of the land, there are also some
bad-tempered dudes to throw a wrench in all the best-laid plans.

Chivington’s Obsession
Dr. Sandy Chivington never leaves the quonset
hut. He sleeps on a cot in the corner for about
four hours a day; the rest of his time is spent
in intense study at a table covered with papers
and diagrams. Among these scraps of cramped,
nearly illegible notes is a partial map of the forest
beyond the busted doorframe (see the player
handout on page 7).
Chivington was the only soul to see Jack
Diamond emerge from the portal and escape into
the night; he’s extremely concerned about what
this might portend, but hasn’t yet broken the
news to Dr. Hellstromme.
Bad Nell Gets Worse

The camp’s other notable inhabitant is Bad
Nell O’Halloran, the only person to have gone
through the portal and returned. Unknown

and squashed her consciousness like a bug.
The real Nell is in there somewhere,
but the manitou is in the driver’s seat.
Chivington hesitates to send anyone else
through, preferring to wait until they know
more about the threat involved. So “Nell”
bides her time, waiting for an opportunity
to usher the rest of her foul kind into the
physical world.

Crossin’ Over
It’s up to your cowpunchers to determine
how they get into Camp Ace-High and
through the busted doorframe. Options
include trickery or disguise, creating a
diversion to draw the X-Squads away,
sneaking in with Jack Diamond’s help,
trying to discuss the situation logically with
Dr. Chivington, or just kickin’ in the front
door and fightin’ their way through.
Talking with Chivington isn’t likely to
lead anywhere good. His intial reaction
to a posse is automatically Hostile (see
Persuasion in Savage Worlds) and his loyalty
to Hellstromme is total. That said, if the
group uses Persuasion to raise his attitude
to Friendly or better, which is possible in
this situation because the doctor is grasping
at straws, he agrees to let the pistoleers
venture through on an exploratory journey.
In this case he shows them his partial map
of the forest (at right), suggests they watch
out for the malevolent living playing cards,
and insists they take Bad Nell O’Halloran
with them as a guide.
If the group fights their way in or is seen
sneaking through, Dr. Chivington sends a
team of five X-Squadders after them with
orders to shoot to kill and return as soon as
possible. If this is how it turns out, Bad Nell
stays in Camp Ace-High...hoping for more
of her kind to return.

though, he sends a five-man X-Squad in pursuit.

Resolving the Issue

Ultimately, the best way to solve the “problem”
of the busted doorway is to return to the physical
world and knock it down or otherwise destroy
it. Doing so severs the link with Huntington’s
forest and the Hunting Grounds forever. That
