The Grey League of Morris - Finished at Last!

[Panama]

Looks like her Ladyship is opening up her throttle & to hell with the consequences 

Lovely work Doug

[Doug ex-em4]

Leaving the Team to finish their beers, pay for incidental damages and visit the Gents, Giselle makes her way out to the front of The Green Man, anxiously scanning the road. Could this be the messenger she’s waiting for, approaching at an illegal speed?



Indeed it is, so a minor mystery is solved. The purpose of Lady Persistence's wild escapade was to meet Giselle- she is the messenger that Giselle has been waiting for. The two intrepid ladies have a brief discussion which, we can be sure, will have important consequences.



Surely, now, a game is about to happen? Please.....!

After such a wild ride Lady Persistence is no doubt wondering if the inn has a decent hard cider as a palatable wine is unlikely.

Oh, is there a game afoot?

Events are getting deeper and deeper. The appearance of Lady Persistence (love the name) merely adds to the mystery that has been building up here. Keep it up, old bean! Pip, pip.

It's great that you have a mounted and dismounted figure for that fine looking gel Lady Persistence, she would look awfully out of place riding the motor cycle up the stairs at the Green Man.

Although on second thoughts maybe not.

Thanks, Panama. It’s much easier setting up these photo vignettes than laying out a whole table.

She’s a wild rider and she always brings her own bottle - whisky rather than wine. Brings her own glass as well - you never know who been using these pub glasses.

It’s a mystery to me, that’s for sure.

She rode a horse into the council chamber at Borchester and threatened to give the Town Clerk a thrashing after some perceived insult to her father so the motor bike in the Green Man is distinctly possible.

Sounds like my kind of girl!

Steady 

Lady Persistence - what a marvellous creation, Doug

I thought that myself....

Lady Persistence - what a marvellous creation, Doug 

Thank you....! Bit by bit, I hope to introduce her 4 sisters. She is the middle one of the 5 and her name is considered by many to be particularly apposite

And let us not forget her formidable mother, Lady Ferocity Pit-Bulstrode who first appeared in the Throppets Hentilaget Caper:

Yep Doug it is & can be just as much fun 

[Doug ex-em4]

I think this is called Threadomancy.....Not to worry because things have proceeded to the stage of imminent violence:

The message that lady P had brought for Gisselle was that the cultists had stolen a steam-driven lorry and chugged their way over the Wild Moorlands and had reached Sweaty Man Crossroads (actually a Y junction but country folk sometimes have strange ideas) when their vehicle literally ran out of steam. Whilst they were attempting to fix it, Ephraim was taken by John Bellator to the nearby Cringing Peasant Inn (said to be the highest hostelry in Borsetshire). The landlord, under duress, agreed to allow John to lock Ephraim in the Inn's store room.




After their pell-mell dash across the Wild Moorlands, sometimes reaching speeds approaching 12mph they have now started the descent into less bleak terrain but the problem with the lorry has allowed the Grey Morris, alerted by Lady Persistence, to catch them up.



So, groups of armed men and women are abroad in Borsetshire. There is a grave risk of deadly violence. Can anything stop a sanguinary clash. NOT A CHANCE.........!

[syrinx0]

Good to see the Gentlemen of Much-Piddling are still able to get some gaming in.   

Definetly looking forward to the threatened tales of this outbreak of ultra violence. 

[Mad Lord Snapcase]

Ah hah!

The chase is on. Tension is building...

[Doug ex-em4]

Some random shots by the retreating cultists have led to the Morris debussing and, as Agent Herefordshire says after a few ciders, "going tactical".







The cultists have Martin Bellator trying to repair the lorry and John Bellator guarding Ephraim in the inn. Sumus Bellator Adiutor is covering the right fork of the junction while Rodney Bellator moves into concealment behind the hedge to guard the left fork. At the centre of the road junction is Steve Bellator, lovingly nursing his flame thrower. Throppetus Summus Bellator (the chapter leader) remains further back in what he calls a Command and Reserve rôle (when he says this, he says it with capitalisation). We are all set.




So, a clash is imminent. Scenery is laid out and the all important character cards are placed conveniently and we’re ready to go.
