Cardinal Thickié, Papal Noncio, has pinched the King's Family Jewels. The King doesn't want a fuss but the services of the infamous "Flashing" Blade have been engaged to recover his Royal honour.
The Cardinal has surrounded himself with the feared Papal Red Guards, and hired Pongé, Compte du Rochefort, to ensure his safety.
The action begins as the Blade and his faithful manservant Lurkio confront the Noncio at a meeting between him and his favourite Nun behind the Luxembourg.No Nuns were harmed (or depicted) in the course of this game, but several Guards were run through the body.
Flash... just a man...
 |
| The Guards |
 |
| Flash and Lurkio |
 |
| As ever Lurkio gets stuck in first, driving a guard back wounded |
 |
| Flash picks out a guard and knocks him back too |
 |
| Rochefort and a guard attack the Blade from both sides. Not a sporting fellow. Honours are even. |
 |
| Lurkio puts his man down |
 |
| The Flashing Blade wounds a guard and Rochefort recoils. He's had better days |
 |
| Lurkio's next target isnt so unlucky. A wound each, and both go down. |
 |
| Flash drops another guard |
 |
| With tw guards wounded the Hero goes for Rochefort again. He drives the big guy back wounded. |
 |
| Feeling cocky Flash has a go at the two guards. He kills one, but the other sticks him. |
 |
| Discretion! The Blade flees the fight. |
 |
| Carnage as usual. |
The Noncio's cassock is safe but will the Blade end up in the Bastille, again?Find out next time etc... etc...
