The Tomb of Joaquin

They said that the mysterious treasure known as El Gato de Oro lay within the Tomb of Joaquin. When Julia Keylar gathered together an expedition she already had a guide but she needed the Gunsmith for his scouting skills - amongst other attributes. As a scholar, Julia wanted the treasure for its historical significance but others also seek it for its commercial value or its mystic powers. There was no man more accomplished and skilled a gunman than Clint Adams. As the group pushed further into Indian country, they clashed with a local tribe out to protect their land against the intruders. New Mexico soon turned into a killing ground as both sides clashed violently. That was just one barrier thrown up against the explorers, to achieve their goal they had more to embrace!
