"Yeah. Thanks." He said walking back clutching his injured side just a bit.

He nodded, moving to heal his injuries. (OOC: Recovered 1w.)
"Well. Taskmaster... you have fulfilled your end of the bargain. The remaining battles are Johhny Cage's and Liu Kang's to win. So I shall fulfill mine. Name your wish, and if it is within my power to grant, so shall I", Raiden stated.
(OOC: I leave it to you to decide whether Taskmaster remembers his initial wish or not. I suppose we can always find a way to send him to other worlds later. Or you can decide he doesn't remember and we keep going with this, lol.)

"I want.... To go somewhere... anywhere. If not home, somewhere I can expand my arsenal of weapons, and techniques even more." He said.

"Very well. Close your eyes and calm your mind", he directed, before lightly pressing his palm onto his chest.
When Taskmaster opened his eyes again, he was in... an old hotel's room? ...With all his gear set down in the room with him.

He began checking the papers, tv, computer for any information of note that could help tell him where he was.

He didn't find a computer, but an also old style-looking newspapers told of the rise of crime in town, showed several tough-looking criminals with bounties on their heads, and warned of potential sightings of 'The Humanoid Typhoon' in the area.

TM for his part decided to go after one of the bounties. He made sure his gear was all in check before heading outside and asking around if any of the criminals were in town.

The town was definitely a Wild West kind of place, but Taskmaster also noticed some things which were significantly too advanced technologically to simply correspond to that era. In fact, some of the tech he saw around him at times seemed more advanced than some of that which is was familiar with, at times.
Going around, while his outfit seemed to unsettle some people now and then, it didn't seem all that out of place; he saw various folks walking around in clothes not all that different from him; some masks, some armors, some had cloaks... many had guns or knives or other weapons. Seemed like walking around armed in this place was not an issue with the law.
He asked around a bit and got some answers, especially from an old man sitting in a roching chair on a saloon's porch.
"They say Duncan 'Six-Guns' O'Connel's gang is campin' out of town. Nothin' good will come out of it, lemme tell you that, son. If you're goin' after him, I'd be careful. He's got lots of thugs, all packin' heat, and you won't be the only one goin' after him. Man's worth 5 grand."

"Understood. Thanks for the advice." He said walking off to try and track the figure down.

Leaving the town, he didn't need to head out all that far before he could spot a few columns of smoke, revealing the camp's location out there in a small forest-like area.

He slowly and carefully makes his way to the camp taking extra care to try not to be seen or heard.
2 stones in agl to do so.

He successfully managed to sneak up to the camp, as most of the men there seemed to just chill and relax around the fires, sleep in their tents, or either cook or eat some food.

TM wasted no time drawing his bow and a couple knockout gas arrows. Lining up a shot he fired on the closest cluster of enemies... then again on another cluster.

His arrows found their marks, releasing their gases around the point of impact, overwhelming several of the criminals and dropping them like bags of potatoes. However, the remaining outlaws who were not part of said clusters quickly drew their guns, and spotted the archer, yelling out threats and insults alike!

"Duncan! I came for the bounty!" He yelled. "Come quietly and no one has to get hurt." He ordered drawing and hiding behind his shield.
