Roadhouse Thug
Level 5 Outlaw · The Sunken Roadhouse
Roadhouse Thug is one of the outlaw threats a player meets in Desperados Destiny, sitting at level 5.
Field notes
A dangerous regular who uses the tilted bar as cover and the general chaos of the place to start fights he can win. Maggie has thrown him out twice. He keeps coming back.
What you are walking into
Roadhouse Thug is level 5, carries 48 health, and is classed Vulture. That makes it an early-game threat, reachable in your first sessions. It has no trick to it beyond persistence, so the fight comes down to your draws and your gear. Every exchange resolves through the Destiny Deck: you draw five cards, choose what to hold, and the resulting poker hand decides how the action lands. Suit matches amplify the result, so the same fight against Roadhouse Thug plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Roadhouse Thug
Roadhouse Thug is encountered at The Sunken Roadhouse. You will need to have discovered and travelled to that location before it can appear as a target, and travel between regions carries its own risks — routes are rolled for interception, and a bad roll puts an encounter between you and your destination.
What it drops
A kill pays 75 experience and between $3 and $6. Its loot table can yield Stolen Whiskey. Drops are rolled per kill, so a full set takes repeat hunting. The first time you kill any species it is also recorded in your Field Guide, which pays a large one-off experience bonus and counts toward the Guide's completion milestones.
