Xavier tried to save him from the duke but his hands were shaking too much so he couldn't line up a shot.
King fattius came back to say Tai and Xavier are no longer allowed in town because they're too big of threats. No word on Xayleigh, but the Duke and Fattius want the relics.
The Duke flexed his time stop power to get behind Xavier and show he could get the relics anytime he wanted. Moments later Bandits and Evil Kevin (form of bear) revealed they already have one of the relics and want the rest. Everyone without goggles was run out of town and a shootout happened. Everything went as expected until The Duke started raising downed players on both sides as zombies. After another minute or so, the party had the upper hand and King Fattius came out with a rifle. It took about 20 seconds for king fattius to down
every single contestant he could see. The leader of the bandits paused to tell him he shouldn't use 100% of his skill because the show would be over once all the contestants 'died'. To remedy the situation, Xavier ran out and said HE would take the bullet meant to finish off the party.
The duke was pleased with the offer... Take the shot Fattius.
Xavier goes down with a single bullet through his heart, the crowd is in tears!.. And yet he thrashes on the ground only in pain. He's NOT dead. IN fact using the magical cards he'd been teaching the party this entire time, saved his own life! Inside his shirt pocket, over his heart.. was a playing card of
THE DUKE.
Following the ancient rules of 'bounces off me and sticks to you', THE DUKE was the one who took the bullet and lost the ability to raise zombies for the remained of the fight. Xavier fled having done his job in saving the contestants, and after a short time they fought off the bandits completely then gained the relic back.
Bonus: On his return, Xavier mentioned how he is aware of the spirits wishing to aid him in his quests. Using a powerful scroll, he opened a line of communication to the world beyond. I'm excited to see what asspulls come from this.
Edit: Fuck!! I wasn't in time
