Hollis Pike
Level 6 Quest Giver · Red Gulch
In Desperados Destiny, Hollis Pike is a level 6 quest giver — a mid-low threat for a character finding their feet.
Field notes
A homesteader who borrowed from Harlan Voss once, six years ago, and has been paying ever since. Knows the shape of the trap from the inside — the schedule, the language of the demand, the way Voss's smile changes between the second and the third unpaid week. Eats at the Slop House because his own stove was repossessed.
What you are walking into
Hollis Pike is level 6, carries 100 health, and is classed Vulture. That makes it a mid-low threat for a character finding their feet. 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 Hollis Pike plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find Hollis Pike
Hollis Pike is encountered at Red Gulch. 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. The full entry for Red Gulch covers what else is there.
