My players' current Western adventure was set in motion by the fact that the postmaster in the old west town is missing. This meant that the PCs had to break into the post office to retrieve the letter that they are supposed to ensure gets delivered. When the PCs asked why no one else had a key to the post office, they were told the town never thought anyone else needed a key, since the postmaster had never missed a day of work in 15 years.
Currently, they PCs are out of town up to PC shenanigans, but they'll probably return to the town eventually. When they do, they may want to figure out why the postmaster is missing (they seemed pretty bothered by the situation), and... I have no effing clue.
There's a good chance the PCs will float a theory, and if they do, I'll probably just run with that, but in case they don't, do you fine pubgoers have any ideas (preferably non-supernatural) why the postmaster is missing?
