[QUOTE="RichGreen, post: 3369410, member: 2039"] [b]Session #21[/b] While William hides just below the top of the shaft, Rodrigo and Bloody Mary attempt to make a deal with the dastardly Albert de Montblanc. Unfortunately, the French pirate is no mood to negotiate and opens fire with his blunderbuss pistol. A battle ensues: Bloody Mary and her two crewmen soon dispatch Montblanc’s three lackeys but Albert is able to gravely wound his opponents while suffering lesser wounds himself. Deciding caution is the better part of valour, the trio retreat and start to climb back down the shaft. Montblanc predictably cuts through their rope, causing William to fall but the one-armed ranger is able to grab hold of the webs before he falls too far. Albert de Montblanc does not pursue the pirates down into the bunker and they are able to rest and recuperate. As a precaution, Bloody Mary removes the two daggers from the secret door leading to Black Bellamy’s vault and then heads over to the other side of the shaft where Rodrigo and William throw the skeleton out and climb into the bed for a lie down. Mary keeps watch at the edge of the shaft, singing anti-French songs to wind up Montblanc. She tries to stay awake all night but fails dismally and dozes off. Thursday 6th July Rodrigo and William are both feeling much better but the three pirates have finished off the last of the food they were carrying. William manages to salvage some meat from the dead tomb spider but decides it may not be a good idea to eat it. Meanwhile, Bloody Mary has been taunting Albert de Montblanc from the bottom of the shaft to no response from the top. Friday 7th July Now almost fully recovered, Rodrigo attempts to climb up the webs covering the walls of the shaft with a rope tied round his waist, held by the others and attached to the Madonna statue as a safety precaution. Even with his hook to help him, the one-armed buccaneer is not as good a climber as he used to be and he falls when he reaches the top. To make matters worse, when Bloody Mary and William don’t manage to keep a firm grip on the rope, the heavy wooden statue falls after him, breaking the webs below and pulling Rodrigo into the cold waters beneath. The other two throw him a rope and pull him out and the plucky hougan has another go at climbing up to the top. Unfortunately, he falls again. And again. And again. Eventually, he manages to get up there. Rodrigo ties the rope to a tree and then signals for Bloody Mary and William to follow him. Once all three pirates are there, Rodrigo sneaks out of the cave, past his tied-up comrades, to the sleeping form of Albert de Montblanc, sitting under a big tree. Rodrigo attempts a coup de grace: his blade strikes true and he stabs the Frenchman through the throat, killing him. To make absolutely sure, Bloody Mary lives up to her name and cuts off Montblanc’s head!
