Field notes
Bare-knuckle boxing champion. Irish immigrant bruiser with fists like sledgehammers. Hits like a locomotive. Part of the Marshal's trust test.
What you are walking into
"Knuckles" O'Rourke is level 9, carries 160 health, and is classed Vulture. That makes it a mid-low threat for a character finding their feet. It fights straightforwardly, which makes it a clean read on whether your current build actually works. 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 "Knuckles" O'Rourke plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find "Knuckles" O'Rourke
"Knuckles" O'Rourke 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.
What it drops
A kill pays 90 experience and between $8 and $15. 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.
