Turn 5

Image

Pierre Dolinski shows off his new gun leg to Madeleine.

"Lieutenant... I lost my leg at La Rochelle, but I am always delighted to serve France. And I would be most delighted to serve you as well, by giving you the... Dolinski..."

"Impressive! I would love to take a closer look at all of your legs..."

Madeleine is now Pierre's lover!

Image

Gaspard Lechevallier talks to Philippe.

"Lieutenant, we are about to begin construction with the cardinal's donated briks. I trust you will protect the site from anyone who tries to interfere?"

"Certainly, monsieur Lechevallier!"

Image

Gaspard calls on the citizenry.

"Citizens! The Yellow Club received these briks as a generous donation from the Cardinal - the church is now our biggest ally! We will use them to construct... The Eiffel Tower! Give me your aid!"

Image

But the citizens have been recruited by the Green and Blue Clubs - and they have no intention of aiding the Yellow Club.

The Green and Blue Clubs advance on the building site, led by Prim, Hugo de Grenoble, and Jacques de la Blue!

Image

A battle breaks out!

Image

Philippe kicks Hugo back into the crowd.

Image

Henri knocks Gaspard out!

Image

Philippe cuts Prim down...

Image

...but is then run through by Jacques.

Philippe has died!

The lieutenant position in the cardinal's guard is now open!

Image

The Blue Club celebrates their victory.

Image

Arkhanides "Archie" Popodopolous sings the Green Club theme song!

"Yellow is lovely
so is blue
but you can't eat them
what to do?
Green is lovely
come and see
Green is food
for Life is Green!"


Image

The Green Club heads to the yellow briks, taking out... blue paint?

Image

When blue paint is applied to the yellow briks, they turn green!

Image

They only have time to repaint a few briks... for now.

Image

Meanwhile, Archie has brewed something green. Not perfume this time... it's MANIAC BEER!

"A signature drink for the Green Club!"

Image

In the palace, the Blokbot steps inside to talk with Pierre Escargot.

"Blok blok! Blok blok blok!"

"Blok blok?"

"Blok blok blok blok!"

"Blok!"

Image

Pierre quickly relays the information to King Louis XIII.

"Hon Royale! L'blokbot dit-moi par c'-Delphine du Doo-est l'assassin!"

"What? The Cardinal's guard is corrupt and is behind the assassination attempt? And Delphine du Doo is the assassin? She is a deadly assassin who has already killed multiple kings? But you have a plan to avoid my assassination, by letting you wear the crown and royal robes and impersonate me?"

"Oui oui!"

"I don't know... I can't believe anyone who serves my good friend Richelieu would be corrupt..."

Image

"Baguette!"

"Ah, a baguette is just what I need to calm my nerves... Very well, Escargot, we'll go through with your plan."

Image

The King and Pierre go to the men's room.

Image

Soon they return.

"I hope this works", says "Pierre Escargot".

"Hon hon hon! Baguette Eiffel tower!" says "King Louis XIII".

Image

Above them, Delphine du Doo is sabotaging the chandelier.

Image

She comes down to the ground floor.

Image

Suddenly the chandelier falls! Right towards the "King"!

"Hon Dieu!"

Image

Delphine leaps in and saves him, just in the nick of time!

Image

"Thank you, mademoiselle!" says Queen Anne. "You saved my husband! What a terrible accident..."

"Don't mention it, your Royal Highness", says Delphine. "But this was no accident."

Image

"Pierre Escargot was the one behind it!"

Everyone gasps.

"How despicable, Escargot!" the Queen says. "You pretended to be protecting my husband, just so you could assassinate him yourself!"

Image

The palace guards quickly surround "Pierre".

"Any last words, traitor?" says Charlotte.

"Hang on..." says "Pierre".

Turn 6

Image

Hugo de Grenoble congratulates Arkhanides "Archie" Popodopolous on his fine work.

"Excellent music and excellent brewing, my friend! The Green Club is in your debt!"

"Thank you! You know, I really should join the Green Club myself. If you would have me?"

"Certainly! Welcome!"

Archie has joined the Green Club!

Image

Archie starts passing out samples of Maniac Beer, trying to recruit Blue Club members to the Green Club. Most scoff at him, but Madeleine tries some...

Image

"Woah, that's strong! Can I get more?"

Madeleine has left the Blue Club and joined the Green Club!

Image

Meanwhile, Jacques de la Blue and Pierre Dolinski, who has joined Jacques in the Blue Club, busy themselves with the women of the Green Club.

"Do they even have any duelists in the Green Club?" Jacques says to Marie. "Join me in the Blue Club, and I'll show you some real moves..."

"Mademoiselle", Pierre says to Antoinette, "the Green Club cannot give you what the Blue Club can. We can give you the... Dolinski."

Pierre Dolinski has joined the Blue Club!

Marie is now Jacques' lover!

Marie has left the Green Club and joined the Blue Club!

Antoinette is now Pierre's lover!

Antoinette has left the Green Club and joined the Blue Club!

Image

In the palace, "King Louis XIII" stays "Pierre Escargot's" execution.

"Attendeux! Crossaint l'Escargot dons le donjon!"

"As you wish, your Royal Highness."

Image

Pierre is locked up in the dungeons beneath the palace.

Image

"The traitor has been imprisoned, your Royal Highness."

"Hon bon!"

Image

Delphine du Doo now approaches the King.

"Your Royal Highness, I hear lieutenant Philippe of the cardinal's guard has died. I would be an excellent candidate to fill that position. And if there happens to be an empty position in your royal bed, I would be happy to fill that as well..."

"Hon hon hon bonjour! D'abord d'étruire les l'mousquetaires!"

"Huh? You want me to destroy the musketeers, because they are obviously behind the attempt on your life? The assassin Pierre Escargot was one of their members? If I succeed in this quest, I will be rewarded with riches beyond my wildest dreams?"

"Oui oui!"

"Very well, I can do that."

Image

Delphine leaves. The King enjoys some royal baguette and cheese.

"Hon hon hon! Baguette Eiffel tower!"

Image

Meanwhile, Gaspard Lechevallier brings the grave news to monsieur Rochefort.

"Lieutenant Phillipe has been killed by an angry mob that is pillaging the church's goods! If you were to promote me to lieutenant, I could put an end to their madness!"

"...Are you even in the cardinal's guard, monsieur? Well, now you are! Get out there and fight! We'll see about promotions afterwards!"

Gaspard has joined the cardinal's guard!

Image

Gaspard gathers up his blokbot and his lover Charlotte. The Blue Club has stepped away from the briks, but the Green Club won't give them up easily...

Image

A battle erupts! Charlotte hacks down Archie, but Prim smashes the blokbot to pieces!

The Yellow Blokbot has died!

Image

Charlotte is on a rampage! She chops Madeleine's head off!

Madeleine has died!

The lieutenant position in the musketeers is now open!

Image

Gaspard strikes the sword from Hugo's hand...

Image

...but then, Prim cuts him down!

Image

The Green Club charges Charlotte!

Image

They finally manage to take her out.

Charlotte has died!

Image

Things finally calm down at the build site...

Image

...as they heat up elsewhere! Delphine will destroy the musketeers, starting with Jacques and Dolinski!

Image

But Jacques strikes her down once more.

"How many times do I have to teach you this lesson, mademoiselle?"

Image

Under Prim's direction, the Green Club members repaint more briks.

Image

Prim builds a fabulous green throne to rival that of the King. Hugo builds a green blokbot.

The Green Blokbot (social level 0) has been created!

The Green Blokbot has joined the Green Club!

Turn 7

Image

Arkhanides "Archie" Popodopolous gets up, and drinks some Maniac Beer to get his bearings.

"Phew."

Image

He composes a song to celebrate the victory!

"Yellow came to quash the Green
brightest swords ye'd ever seen
yet Green defenders did prevail
while the King's assassin lurks in jail!

Blockbot Green we then did built
whilst making throne of Green like hills
Cardinal's men we put to sword
and now tis 'Prim that be our Lord!"


Image

He also grabs a second sword. Just in case.

Image

Hugo de Grenoble gives the Green Blokbot a nice shrubbery for a haircut. Or crown?

Image

He picks up the falllen Charlotte's halberd.

Image

Meanwhile, Jacques de la Blue speaks with monseiur de Treville.

"Terrible shame about the loss of lieutenant Madeleine, commander... Anyway, we need a new lieutenant, and I see no one bluer than myself - "

"You may win a lot of duels, de la Blue, but that's not all it takes to be an officer. You'll stay a blue soldier, for now..."

Image

"King Louis XIII" calls for reinforcements.

"Ren garde du palais forts nécessité!"

Image

CRITICAL SUCCESS!

"We're ready to serve, your Royal Highness!"

From front to back: Isabelle, Emile, and Pauline have arrived (all social level 4).

Image

The King leads the palace guard himself, marching down the street!

Image

But at the build site, cardinal Richelieu appears, flanked by Gaspard Lechevallier and Delphine du Doo.

"All citizens must put aside their chromatic differences immediately!" he declares. "All colors are created equal in the eyes of the Church! Look at what this foolishness brought you - the riches of the Lord are plundered in the name of... of what? The color green!? Nonsense! It is these false prophets who led you astray."

Image

"This righteous man will lead you on the path of God's will!"

Image

Many are swayed by the cardinal's words.

Francois and Jean have left the Green Club, and joined the Yellow Club!

Antoinette has left the Blue Club, and joined the Yellow Club!

Monsieur Rochefort has joined the Yellow Club!

Delphine du Doo has joined the Yellow Club!

Image

The Yellow Club charges the depleted Green Club!

Image

Pierre Dolinski rushes in as well, but is blocked by Hugo!

"The Dolinski needs that Maniac Beer. Monsieur, you will find out that the Dolinski is... unstoppable."

Image

Here come the King and the palace guard!

"Quelle le riotte!"

Image

Prim cuts down Gaspard, but Hugo is felled by Dolinski!

Image

The deadly halberds of the palace guard claim more lives.

The Green Blokbot has died!

Monsieur Rochefort has died!

The commander position in the cardinal's guard is now open!

Image

The King himself duels Prim on their throne.

"Traité! Assassin!"

"I'm no assassin!"

Image

"Hon hon hon! Baguette Eiffel tower!"

Image

Delphine takes down Archie!

"It's not about how many swords you have, it's how well you use them!"

Image

With the Green Club out of commission, things calm down.

Image

Pierre Dolinski snatches the Maniac Beer, and slyly offers drinks to the club-hopping citizens.

"Green, yellow... Only the Blue Club has the Dolinski. And only the Dolinski has the beer you crave."

Francois and Jean have left the Yellow Club, and joined the Blue Club!

Turn 8

Image

Arkhanides "Archie" Popodopolous watches with dismay as Pierre Dolinski shares out Archie's Maniac Beer for his own benefit.

Image

"Dolinski dares to steal my Maniac Beer? I'll show that lout..."

Archie takes out his alchemical crystals, and begins to influence the elements.

Image

"Enough of the handouts. With a sip of this beer, the Dolinski will become utterly... irresistible."

Image

Dolinski drinks. But something has happened to the Maniac Beer!

Image

"Blaaargh!"

Image

"Gah! Smells like green apples, freshly cut grass, absinthe, Ireland, lettuce... times a hundred!"

"Run!"

Image

But Antoinette does not flee.

"I will stay with the Dolinski, no matter what color he smells like!"

"Thank you, Antoinette... I cannot understand. The Maniac Beer has been turned into green perfume!"

Antoinette has left the Yellow Club and joined the Blue Club!

Image

Meanwhile, Jacques de la Blue is recruiting for the musketeers.

"You are already in the Blue Club. Why not join the original expression of the color blue: the musketeers!

Henri signs up, but Marie is not interested.

Monsieur de Treville approves of Jacques' efforts. +1 to future promotion rolls.

Henri has joined the musketeers!

Image

Delphine du Doo goes to "King Louis XIII", with an even grander request.

"Your Royal Highness! I am the one best suited to lead the cardinal's guard in this time of crisis. Please, make me the new commander!"

"Ca plus cardinale! Oui voila!"

Delphine du Doo has been promoted to commander of the cardinal's guard!

Image

She immediately starts working on filling out the ranks.

"The cardinal's guard could use a pair of halberd arms like yours, mademoiselle. Why not join us?"

"Sure! Seems like there's good chances of promotion with you."

Pauline has joined the cardinal's guard!

Image

Gaspard Lechevallier goes to cardinal Richelieu.

"Your Eminence! After all I have done... Surely I deserve that promotion now?"

Image

"Very well, Lechevallier. I hereby promote you to lieutenant!"

Gaspard Lechevallier has been promoted to lieutenant of the cardinal's guard!

Image

Gaspard proceeds to expand on the green throne, using yellow bricks.

Image

He builds a two-color platform, and shouts out a challenge.

"Prim! Face me, one against one!"

Image

But Prim is nowhere to be seen. They are hiding in the bushes, brewing something...

Image

The King addresses the palace guard.

"Allons ys! Donjonner sous les mousquetaires et verts!"

"You want us to arrest and imprison all musketeers and members of the Green Club, your Royal Highness? Very well!"

Image

"Oui oui! Hon hon - wot?"

Image

The scent of freshly brewed tea drifts through the air.

Image

"Tea... Blimey save the queen..."

Image

The King rushes over.

Image

He grabs the kettle, and pours himself a cup.

Image

"Ho ho ho! Shepherd's pie Big Ben!"

"What's he saying?"

"Is he... speaking British?!?"

Image

"Let's see who this 'King' really is!"

Image

"Oh bugger!"

"It's Pierre Escargot! And he's British!"

Image

"But if this is Pierre Escargot, then where is the real King?"

Unaware of these developments, Hugo de Grenoble has retreated to the Green Club headquarters.

"Ah ha! I knew there was a map of the palace dungeons here! I heard they imprisoned my friend Pierre Escargot there, and I am in desparate need of some of his wise words and optimism... It's time to get him out of there!"

Image

In the dungeons...

"Sigh."

Image

"Don't worry, Pierre! I'm here to rescue you!"

Image

"Why, thank you. But look, I am not Pierre Escargot. I am King Louis XIII!"

"Oh? Well then. How do you feel about the color green?"

"The color green? I guess I don't really care for it."

Image

"That's a shame."

King Louis XIII has died!

Turn 9

Image

Jacques rallies the Blues.

"Musketeers! Members of the Blue Club! To the palace! We must defend the Queen until the King or his heir is found!"

Image

"One for all, and all for one!"

Image

The Musketeers and Blues take position in front of the palace.

Image

Pierre Dolinski has volunteered to be Queen Anne's personal bodyguard.

"Your Royal Highness... King Louis had all of France, but he kept it to himself. I, on the other hand, am prepared to give you the Dolinski... all of it."

Image

"Not so fast, Dolinski!" Delphine du Doo has snuck inside the palace! "A lowly musketeer could never satisfy the Queen! She deserves only best: the commander of the cardinal's guard!"

Image

"En garde!"

"You are a fool if you think you can block the Dolinski!"

Image

BLAM!

"Argh!"

"Ha ha!"

Image

"Impressive, my handsome subject. We will accept the Dolinski!"

Queen Anne is now Pierre Dolinski's lover!

Image

Outside, Arkhanides "Archie" Popodopolous has a new perfume for Prim.

"This is the ultimate French perfume! It combines the smells of croissants, red wine, and about 1,200 different cheeses!"

"Excellent, Archie! Just what I need!"

Image

Prim addresses the palace guard.

"The King was a fake! Deception and deceit are everywhere! The new monarch needs to be someone able to see through all these lies. Someone like me!"

Image

But Pierre Escargot also has something to say!

"Teatime! Chav Gaspard, guv Edward chip France!"

"Huh? You're saying the evil Gaspard Lechavellier has slain the king? And you are a descendent of Edward of England, a claimant to the French throne from the 1300s? And the line of succession is clear with the death of the king, and you are the rightful successor?"

"Right!"

Image

"Well, I contest that claim!"

"Bloody hell!"

Image

But before violence breaks out, Gaspard Lechevallier cuts in!

"Hold on! Why not settle the succession dispute with a game of... Maniac Beer Pong?"

Image

Gaspard quickly sets up the table, and the game begins!

Image

Pierre is the first to score!

"Ho ho ho! Shepherd's pie Big Ben!"

Image

"Damnit!"

Prim drinks...

Image

"Wait a minute! That's the Maniac Beer I turned into - "

Image

" - green perfume!"

"Blaaargh!"

Image

But Prim is unfazed!

"Ha ha! Score!"

Image

Image

"Blaaargh!"

Image

"Sod it!"

Image

"And that's the game! Drink up, Escargot!"

Image

"Blaaargh!"

Image

Prim rises, to the cheers of the palace guard.

"Anyone who would threaten France will fall! Whether by sword, beer, or perfume!"

Prim has gained the support of the palace guard!

Image

Meanwhile, in the dungeons, Hugo de Grenoble pockets the dead King's cool hat.

Image

He returns to street level...

Image

...and starts preparing explosives in the Green Club headquarters.

"It's time for more... radikal action."
