Cheyenne

Sunny Smiles "Cheyenne, stay. Don't worry, she won't bite unless I tell her to. I'm Sunny Smiles."
Rhodane "Hello Sunny. I'm Rhodane. What do you do around here?"
Sunny Smiles "I hunt geckos, mostly. The meat's pretty good and I can always find a buyer for the hides. I also help keep the town clear of radscorpions and coyotes. Not many people live in Goodsprings, so wildlife is always creeping in."
Rhodane "Let's talk about the areas around Goodsprings."
Sunny Smiles "Sure. What did you want to know?"
Rhodane "What other towns are nearby?"
Sunny Smiles "Southeast of here is Primm - can't miss it, since it has this giant old rollercoaster right in the middle of town. The NCR's got an outpost there. If you follow the road north, you'll eventually hit Sloan and Quarry Junction. They mine rocks or something, but I heard they got troubles lately. I wouldn't head that direction if I were you, though. Got critters up there that don't take kindly to getting shot."
Rhodane "NCR?"
Sunny Smiles "The New California Republic. Bunch of settlers and soldiers coming in from the West, fixing on making Nevada their own. They can be right pushy, but the roads are safer 'cause of them, so I tend to let it go. Not that I got a choice."
Rhodane "What does the NCR keep you safe from?"
Sunny Smiles "Well, the wildlife for one thing. Rowdy locals for another. They're protecting their own. Just happens to help us. They've been holding off this other group from the East, too. "
Rhodane "What do you know about the other group?"
Sunny Smiles "Got a funny name. Call themselves Caesar's Legion. Never seen 'em in these parts, so I couldn't tell you much. I hear rumors, that's about it. Supposedly they keep slaves and they got some real nasty ways of killing folks. But maybe that's just something folks in the NCR cooked up to make themselves seem more useful here. Less uninvited."
Rhodane "What kind of creatures are out there?"
Sunny Smiles "Around here, mostly coyotes and geckos. The coyotes are pretty dangerous in large packs, but otherwise they're nothing to really worry about. The geckos aren't too tough, but they've got a nasty bite. I've heard about bigger, nastier versions out in the wasteland, but I've never seen them. Stick to the roads when you can, and steer clear of the hills north of Goodsprings. The critters up there are big and poisonous."
Rhodane "I need to get to Primm. Can you suggest a route?"
Sunny Smiles "Sure can. Take the road southeast out of town till it hits the freeway. Primm is the town with the roller coaster, straight south. Can't miss it. NCR patrols do a good job of keeping the highway clear, but I'd keep your gun where you can reach it easily. You never know who you'll run into. Off the road, you'll probably start running into hostile wildlife. My advice would be to stick to the highway when you can."
Rhodane "Doc Mitchell said you could teach me to survive in the desert."
Sunny Smiles "Yeah, I guess there's a thing or two I could show you. Sounds like you need all the help you can get after what they done to you. Lets go outside, behind the saloon."
They both leave the Prospector followed by Cheyenne.
