The high plains

So what is happening from the view on the high plains ? It looks to me: a gypsy and part-time bandit, that some of the sheep have retreated to their pens, while others have been rounded up into a frenzy with the possibility of freedom. The farmers and the shepherds have persuaded the sheep (it didn't take much) that they actually have some power over their situation, and those able to exercise that power will head for long awaited pastures. Delusional. And what will become of the others? As my would-be drifter friend would say "there will be blood."

So, looking down from the highplains, is there any hope of engaging anyone ? The sheep will be nervous, the farmers and shepherds wary and hostile , and the gypsies, thieves, vagabonds, rustlers, drifters and bandits will move on...
