Ghost Town Gunfight
Given by: Trudy [Prospector Saloon] (M1:2) / Ringo [Goodsprings Gas Station] (M1:4)
You can get this quest after completing [Back in the Saddle] (if you've decided to finish the tutorial right after shooting the bottles) or [By a Campfire on the Trail] (if you decided to complete the tutorial). Being in the saloon you'll witness an argument between Trudy and Joe Cobb #1. You can talk to both characters but you can side only with one of them. In this quest you have to listen to and help Trudy. If you decide to side with Joe, you have to read [Run Goodsprings Run] quest section.
You can also talk to Ringo (M1:4) right away and choose proper dialog line [Speech 20].
After talking to Trudy head to Ringo #2 who hides at the [Goodsprings Gas Station] (M1:4). Mention the Powder gangers and offer your help. You have to gather as many Goodspring townfolks as possible to get a support for yourself and Ringo in fight against the Powder gangers. You do not need to complete optional tasks.
Return to Sunny [Prospector Saloon] (M1:2) and ask if she will help you. She'll agree without hesitation. You can return to Ring and tell him that Sunny will help you or you can try to get support from other inhabitants. Go to the [Goodsprings General Store] (M1:5) and look for Chet #1 (he might stand at the desk or can be found in his bed). When you ask him for help he'll refuse initially. To convince him you need a proper dialog line [Barter 25]. You'll get the Leather Armor.
Easy Pete #2 can be found either near the saloon (M1:2) or in his house (M1:6). To convince him to help you, you need the [Explosives 25] skill to get the proper dialog line. You'll receive 5x dynamite when the fight begins.
You'll find Trudy at the Prospector Saloon (M1:2) or in her house (M1:7). To convince her you need to choose one of the two dialog lines (it depends on your skills): [Speech 25], [Sneak 25]. She'll join you as soon as the shooting starts.
Doc Mitchell #2 can be found in his house (M1:1). You can ask him to cure you and to help you in fight against the Powder gangers [Medicine 30]. You'll receive 2 Doctor's Bags and 3 stimpaks.
Return to Ringo [Goodsprings Gas Station] (M1:4) and tell him that you are ready to face the Powder gangers. The shooting begins and you have to fight 6 thugs. If you're quick enough you can use dynamite to hurt them all badly. Remember to use covers. Once all the Powder Gangers are dead, talk to Ringo.
