Last Chance Saloon
Set within the boomtown of Fiddlers Creek, lies the Last Chance Saloon - a haven for drinkers, dreamers, outlaws and gamblers. Gold fever has gripped this region in an air of opportunity with prospectors staking their claims in the nearby hills. Gunshots echo through the hills as desperate gun fights erupt. Dreams are being forged in violence and the "peacemakers" are far from peaceful. For the few, money and good fortune can be made in Fiddlers Creek but many find their names on a cheap head stone in the local cemetery. All journeys start and end in the Last Chance Saloon.

Legacy A quiet fishing boat cut through the morning mist like a silent grey ghost. The fishermen paid it no heed as it edged closer to the small landing jetty. When it showed no signs of slowing down men began to shout warnings and they waved their arms frantically at the empty deck of the boat. Moments later the boat tore into the jetty splintering the wooden frame before coming to a grim halt. The boat was deserted and scrawled on the deck were the following words: ‘Give us what we want and we’ll go away’ That was three days ago now and the unrelenting storms have destroyed many homes forcing the inhabitants to congregate in the village hall. People have vanished into the storm and whispers of strange sightings grip this small community in fear.
