The Ruin of Mimsie Hawley - Turn 3

Sir Francis’s men continue to leg it north, much to the chagrin of Sir Jaspar. Sir Jaspar hears them shouting and cheering for Good King Philip of Spain, Sir Francis shouts to Cardinal Ximinez that there is a Protestant plot to capture him and he is here to protect him. Ximinez seems reassured by that news and maintains his position.

Sir Francis seems to be more interested in Cardinal Xininez than the burning at Kenwood-Chef's place! Whatever can his plan be?

Sir Jaspar now activates. Stirrup takes a shot at Bottom. I was hoping he would shoot Bottom in the bottom! Unfortunately he misses, but it was pretty close. He ended (after modifiers) with an attack of 0 and he only needed a 1 to hit. I used the laser to check line of sight and Bottom’s bottom was just in view!

The rest of Sir Jaspar’s men move forward at the run. N.B. Mimsie is now 3” behind Sir Jaspar as she cannot run in those voluminous skirts! Stirrup is within 3” of the cart so it moved forward 4” as it cannot do a run move. 

Sir John shouts “ Non adquieverunt ei Eminentia. Is est haereticus, qui manifesto parricidio merita non nocere” (Don’t listen to him, Your Eminence. He’s a heretic and he seeks to murder you).
