"The Tale of the Musketeer"
Scene 1. The Duel
Upon entering Paris our young and brash hero has found himself
challenged to a duel. The duel is set for first blood.
Winning by non-fatal blow, the winner will receive 4 écu. Winning by
fatal blow, the winner will receive 2 écu. A double non-fatal shot
will result in 1 écu given to each duelist. A double fatality and a
loss will afford the losers no écu this day.
Scene 2. Attempted Arrest (Melee)
With the duel done our hero rides to continue on his adventures. He
notices that he is being followed by a group of the Cardinal's men.
He rides to a group of musketeers and dismounts. The Cardinal's men
arrive and dismount. The leader tells the musketeer to surrender
peacefully for dueling within city gates is a crime. The Cardinal's
men pull their swords and the Musketeers pull theirs' as one of them
yells… (Marshall will yell `All for One!' to start the melee).
If the Musketeers successfully evade arrest by defeating the
Cardinal's Guard, or the Cardinal's Guard successfully take in the
fugitive Musketeers (dead or alive), each member of the triumphant
team, dead or alive, shall be awarded 3 écu. To each member who is
still alive, without wound, 1 additional écu will be awarded.
Scene 3. Collecting a Feast
After the battle with the Cardinal's Guard, the Musketeers find
themselves parched and in need of celebration, but they are low on
écus after a very unwise bet that was made and lost. They enter the
inn and concoct a plan that will provide a good meal.
The winner of the staged fight will receive 3 écus plus a écu for
each item pilfered, except for the bottle of wine, which is worth 2
écus. The loser will receive no écus. Once the fight is done, no more
items can be pilfered.
Scene 4: Intercept the Treaty
A couple of days ride to Calle pass and our hero finds himself aboard
a tall-ship. He knows that the treasonous treaty is aboard this ship.
All of a sudden one of the deckhands jumps out at him. A fight ensues
and our hero finds himself on a narrow beam as he fights, one false
move or to retreat too far and he will fall off the beam into the
water.
Defeating the deckhand by a fatal blow and successfully intercepting
the treaty the victor will be awarded 4 écus. Defeating the deckhand
by forcing him off the beam or by dismemberment, the victor will be
awarded 2 écus.
Scene 5: The Musketeers and Cardinal's Guards Meet Again (Melee)
The intercepted treaty promises a show of power by the Cardinal. Our
hero gallops back to Paris, spreading the word to all Musketeers, as
he goes. A grand presentation is about to take place as the King
celebrates his birthday and the Musketeers assemble disguised in the
crowd that had gathered. From out of nowhere a shot rings out nearly
missing the King. The Musketeers make their way to the courtyard. The
Cardinal's Guard also assembles, drawing their swords. From the mass
of Musketeers comes the cry… (Marshall will yell `Save the King' to
start the melee).
If the Musketeers successfully get past the Cardinal's Guard, or the
Cardinal's Guard successfully fight off the fugitive Musketeers (dead
or alive), each member of the triumphant team, dead or alive, shall
be awarded 3 écu. To each member who is still alive, without wound, 2
additional écus will be awarded.
Scene 6: Save the King!
Our hero has made it past the Cardinal's Guard and only has one left
between him and the King. Will our hero save the day or will the
Cardinal gain ultimate power?
The victor who saves the King will receive 5 écus. To do so with a
fatal blow will reward the victor 2 additional écus. To do so with a
non-fatal blow (dismemberment) an additional 1 écu will be awarded.
