[QUOTE="The Shaman, post: 5511539, member: 26473"] The adventurers in our [i]Flashing Blades[/i] game went searching for a German mercenary to whom they owed money. They found him wrecking a tavern after a dispute with the owner - turns out the mercenary is diddling the tavern owner's wife, and the owner had the temerity to say something to him about it. The adventurers were trying to convince the mercenary to leave the tavern before the provost-martial's men arrived to arrest him; the mercenary said that the tavern owner "has to ask me to stay." Cribbed straight from [i]Butch Cassiday and the Sundance Kid[/i]. Neither player noticed, as far as I could tell. I did crack up one of the players when I explained that an encounter involving mistaken identity and a duel was called, "Waiting for Berault." The other player didn't pick up on the Samuel Beckett reference. [/QUOTE]
