The Toll Keeper
Level 7 Boss · Dusty Crossroads
The Toll Keeper is one of the boss threats a player meets in Desperados Destiny, sitting at level 7.
Field notes
A masked outlaw who has established an unofficial toll on this crossroads. The Crossroads Ledger he keeps lists every traveler who passed through — and paid.
What you are walking into
The Toll Keeper is level 7, carries 168 health, and is classed Scourge Lord, a boss encounter. That makes it a mid-low threat for a character finding their feet. It punishes over-commitment, turning your weaker hands back on you, so patience beats aggression here. 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 The Toll Keeper plays out differently each time you take it on.
Where to find The Toll Keeper
The Toll Keeper is encountered at Dusty Crossroads. 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 Dusty Crossroads covers what else is there.
What it drops
A kill pays 480 experience and between $4 and $10. Its loot table can yield Crossroads Ledger and Raw Cotton. 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.
