Josh Laurence

Josh Laurence is an undertaker-come-bartender of the Last Gasp Saloon and Funeral Parlour in Redding in the year 2241.

Background
A tall, thin man who can't quite get rid of his habit of measuring everyone up, Josh Laurence is the owner and bar tender of the Last Gasp Saloon, a combined funeral parlor and bar for the miners, converted when he couldn't make ends meet just by burying people. He is a rather odd character, with a tendency to make puns focused on his role as the town's undertaker.

His business got even worse when wanamingos started pushing up the graves and bringing the dead to the surface, forcing Laurence to re-bury them continuously. This was the primary factor that caused Josh to convert his establishment into a bar.

Interactions with the player character
Laurence offers beer at $5 per bottle, or $10 for a round for your companions, and gives some hints about Wanamingo activities in Redding. He's also the source of many graveyard puns. He will refuse to talk to the player if they are a Grave Digger.

Appearances
Josh Laurence appears in Fallout 2.
