Twinhorn Gold Mine, Slave Mining Pit
As the battle cries of the Ginto Boys echoed through the mines, the party argued whether to leave, stand and fight the reinforcements, or chase the boss. Ultimately, they decided to hold the mining pit after a freed child asked them to save the other kidnapped children who were being brainwashed and trained to fight. Mike fished one of the healing sinchu roots Apha had given them from his pocket, dropped it into Dan's canteen of lemonade, and force fed it to him; he immediately felt much better, and his left arm was no longer broken.
The first group of enemy reinforcements, two men with rattan sticks and a third with two knives, entered the chamber from the main entrance, and Mike ran up to meet them while Dan regained his footing; Roberto held his position at the mine cart track in case more came from there, while Po held his ground in the centre of the room, ready to defend the slaves, who still struggled to free themselves. Mike took out a stick mook with a kick, then the knife guy stepped in and feinted with one knife then stabbed with the other, though Mike Luckily dodged.
Roberto spotted more enemies running in along the minecart track and Waited to stab one. Mike retreated down the stairs, but the knife guy followed, and managed to get past his guard this time. Dan ran to help him, but his triple Rapid Strike of Defensive Attacks were all parried or dodged. Roberto surprised one mook with a knife to the ribs as they charged the room, then moved to attack a second but they somehow managed to defend against both thrusts.

GURPS Kung Fu Cowboys Session 4: Twinhorn Gold Mine

The Gilded Pony Saloon
Mike asked the barkeep about the old miner that'd just been thrown out, and learned that that was Willy, a former miner at the ol' Twinhorn Gold Mine west of town. The mine had collapsed years back, killing most of the miners, and the company running it had abandoned it. Willie was a bum and an alcoholic, but mostly harmless; he occasionally tried to pay for his whiskey with painted rocks he claimed were gold.
The party figured that they should head to the gold mines, and went outside to find Willie passed out across the street. Po tried shaking him awake, but it took a bucket of water to rouse him from his drunken slumber. They quickly struck a deal: Willie would lead them to the haunted mine and he would get all the gold, while they would get all the ghosts. He then asked if they wanted to use the front door, "which the ghosts knew about", or the secret way in?
Po expressed interest in the secret entrance, and Willie asked the party if they knew how to swim, and all but Po could not. Willie told them that they'd want to make sure not to fall overboard, and told them that they'd be taking his dinghy through the diamondback rapids. They headed south of town to the river and loaded into the dinghy, Po bringing it almost down to the waterline as he boarded. Willie rowed them out into the center of the river and then laid back while the current carried them along.

GURPS Kung Fu Cowboys Session 3: The Monster of a Man

Preparations
The party walked out of the Happy Rancher Saloon, though Po made sure to gulp down his lunch first, and waited in the street, watching as the dust cloud grew bigger. Three covered wagons came into view, driven by all large, shirtless, Japanese men. As the first wagon pulled into town, he yelled for the party to get out of the way, and they did so, not wanting to be trampled by three teams of four horses. Except for Michelangelo, who jumped up beside the driver.
The driver shouted for him to get off, and tried to shove him, but Mike nimbly dodged out of the way, and the driver accidentally pulled on the reins, turning the horses and causing them to speed up. Mike tried to ask if the driver knew Tetsu, and apologized for so rudely jumping up before dodging another shove attempt, and jumping up onto the top of the covered wagon, out of reach. The driver realized his mistake, and stopped the horses before they ran into a house.
The other two wagons came to a stop outside the jailhouse and sumos started to pile out of all three, most focused on Michelangelo and yelling for him to get off of their wagon, not listening to a word he said ("I just want to know if any of you know Tetsu, the-" "Get off our wagon!" "Why are you on the wagon?" "Stop being on the wagon!"). After another couple seconds, a heavy footstep interrupted the clamour as a mountain of a man, clearly Trained by a Master going by his sumo girdle and topknot, with chains wrapped around his arms stepped from the third wagon and shouted "TETSU! Where are you?"
