I can't remember what Evenors Gold Chip power did(My party has long since 
lost that weapon...One of the Cardinal rules of Deadlands is keep them poor) 
  But I think Raven, being such a powerfull creature.  Needs to be killed 
only by his specific weakness( I don't think Coles knife counts)

You forgot the last part..."Take this box, with the Reckoners, to Banshee, 
TO SAVE THE WORLD".  If your posse has ran though the suggested adventures, 
not only have they probably become well known Heroes, but they probably have 
lost quite a lot to the Reckoners(Like the whole Earth..for example)   So 
lets break this down.  Anyone with the Heroic Hinderance will go,  Templars 
will probably go(The really depends on his view of society, but overall I 
think almost any Templar would consider the world Deserving),  Almost any 
Syker would go(probably to see what happened to the lost, or to figure out 
what happened on the Unity).  So my bet is you wil have at least 1-3 posse 
members who should feel obligated.   If you don't then maybe you should look 
at how your running HOE.  Its a game about Heroes taking back the waste from 
evil.  And kicking the Reckoners out should be their ultimate goal.

I think the main problem people have with the unity is that they expected 
something different.  I did personally.  But I was happy with the route 
Shane took.

Like any premade adventure, some posse just aren't going to fit well.  And 
some people aren't going to be happy with the fact that its linear.  But 
that is what happens when you make a premade adventure.
