 Nah, sounds like you've got it about right.  Sometimes in Deadlands that
 kinda thing just happens, like you said.  My posse did pretty well in that
 adventure, as it happened - we had a Martial Artist getting the dreams
 (he was the only character that was even slightly religious), and he was
 able to take Wycliffe down in a dramatic final fight.  I also had a player
 come out of it with a phobia of gold.

 Actually, you know the ball of gold inside yer man?  They started carting
 it to Denver to sell it to a mining boss they'd met there, and the Martial
 Artist had a sort of evil-spirit-a-bit-like-harrowed-but-not-harrowed thing
 going on, and whenever he was on guard at night he'd take the ball of gold
 out of its bag and draw a pentagram around it in the dirt or something, or
 make it look like it'd moved of its own accord (it was the player doing all
 this, by the way, not me).  The other players got so scared of it that they
 used to talk about it in the pub in real life.  I figured that was scared
 enough that a whimsical Reckoner might throw a little mojo its way, and so
 the ball of gold became actually evil, and started causing Night Terrors.
 That was fun, and they were SO relieved when the two faster riders went
 on ahead to Dever to get rid of it and finally shook it off.

 Anyway, it's a tough call as to whether to have your boys go out in a blaze
 of glory or to try to salvage the campaign.  If there's one rule that really
 goes for RPG campaigns, it's that it's better to burn out than fade away.
 Better that they look back on this Deadlands mini-campaign in years to come
 and talk about how they went down six-guns blazing, than how this campaign
 fizzled due to lack of interest.

 That said, if, say, Johnny is still interested and you reckon the other
 guys would continue play with different characters, no harm in having
 Johnny be the only link between this scenario and the rest of your campaign.
 He survives, the others buy it.
