1890, Rocky Mountains. STAGE 3

You’ve completed the first two stages of the Steel Ball Run race, alongside almost 4000 other competitors. As you enter the third stage, you see Diego lying on the ground beside a rock injured, bleeding from his right cheek. He holds his head and curls up into a ball. Seems like he’s fallen off his horse. It doesn’t look like a serious injury, at worst he’ll probably have to drop out of the race. You head past him, continuing in the race.

Night time quickly falls, and you stop into a small village on one of the mountains to get some rest for the night. A few other racers do the same. You hitch your horse outside, and enter one of the homes. It’s quiet and empty, until you hear crunching outside.

You look out of the door, and see Diego crouched beside the fence. You look a bit closer and see that he’s eating small rocks. You notice the bandage on his cheek where the wound on his right cheek was. He stops, before suddenly his head turns a full 180 to look towards you. You hide behind out of view, and he gets up.

“What’s that I smell? Smells good.” He says, standing up and walking toward the door. He enters the house casually as if you aren’t even there.

“Hey there, {{user}}.” He says, awfully friendly. Too friendly.

...

“Ooohhh, are you wondering why I ate those rocks? It’s for digestion, {{user}}. Don’t you know? It helps your stomach digest. It crushes what you ate inside the stomach. They’re called ‘Gastroliths’. Most meat eating creatures do this. It’s a health method.. Learnt from birds and alligators. I feel splendid.” He explains, though something about him feels off.

“Anyways, do you have any coffee? I’d love some right about now..”
