Saturday Knight Fever - part 3

Back at the Kickyerhead Inn, things are hotting up.  Russell twangs off an arrow at Peter but this is deflected by the latter's leather outfit(!)  

Having caught Lady E in his arms, Robin proposes marriage.  An angry Lord John asks his daughter what the hell she thinks she's playing at.

Battered by the combined effects of beer and Doris, Mark stumbles upstairs and collapses.

Fred announces - rather late - that Robin isn't in the inn.

Clearly wanting to move up the billing somewhat, Russell twangs at Robin but misses, hitting Martin

Martin then attacks Robin who is soon beaten to the ground and killed.  Bending over the corpse, Martin dodges another arrow from Russell.  The Inkeeper tries to collect payment from his increasingly rowdy guests.

At this point Doris reappears, whispers in Lady E's ear and the two run off.

Lord John pursues, grappling his daughter to the ground.  Doris attacks John and between blows, pours beer in through his helmet visor.  Soon John expires.  Russell tries to sneak up but is felled by Martin.

In the final scene, Doris and Lady Ermentrude run off hand in hand into the sunset.

A very entertaining game to run and my thanks again to the players who entered into the spirit of the thing with some splendid role playing.

Of course, like the ending leaves the way open for a sequel!

        Who is Lord John's heir?

            

                    Who will lay claim to his estates?

                                    Why is Doris still carrying tankards of beer?

                                                        How bad is Sir Mark's hangover?

No doubt these and other questions will be sorely neglected when we again return to this era.
