A Desperate Escape.

With stealth blown, I engaged in a chaotic firefight against incoming Skinners to rescue Uncle. After healing up, I eliminated remaining enemies and covered Charles as he loaded Uncle onto a horse. We fought off waves of ambushers while escaping the woods, eventually escorting Uncle safely back to Beecher's Hope.

With my stealth approach completely compromised, I had no choice but to open fire. Skinners poured out from their hideout to take me down, leading to a frantic and dangerous shootout.

During the heavy exchange of gunfire, I took severe damage, losing most of my health and drained my Dead Eye ability. I quickly sought cover to drink both a health tonic and a Dead Eye tonic to restore my strength and focus before stepping back into the fray.

Once I was fully recovered, I took down the remaining Skinners one by one as they pressed their assault.

After clearing out the immediate threats, I moved in to rescue Uncle, who was in terrible shape from the torture he had endured.

Before we could catch our breath, a fresh wave of Skinner reinforcements arrived to cut off our escape.

I provided covering fire, keeping the incoming enemies at bay while Charles worked to help Uncle up and secure him onto a horse. The Skinners proved relentless, sending melee attackers rushing toward me with machetes.

I managed to drop one just before he reached me, but the pressure kept mounting as more enemies swarmed our position.

We began fighting our way out of the camp, pushing through the woods while continuing to pick off Skinners hiding among the trees.

Once we cleared the treeline, it seemed like we were finally safe, but Uncle was in agony, stating his back was hurting too much to keep going at a fast pace.

With the immediate danger behind us, I escorted Charles and Uncle back toward the safety of Beecher's Hope, hoping no more Skinners would trail us along the road.
