Can you recommend  something that might make people afraid quicker?
Basically, what I'm doing is setting it up so that the town's future hinges
on the posse's actions.  If things get any hairier, the town's going to just
give up its charter and split, with most of its population probably headed
to Rock Ridge (yes, THAT Rock Ridge).

Well, it was about Fear Level 3 when they got there (I never did make a real
estimate), but after they killed the Horseman and the 'Glom, they
didn'tattempt any Tale Tellin' rolls.  Granted, none of my posse HAS Tele
Tellin', which is probably because they're largely unaware of what it's
really for, but I figure Fear is a thing they have to learn about.

How would he explain 20 zombies bursting up out of the ground?  I can't
think of one for that.  I take it this would be something good to have The
Agency book for?
