THE BIZARRE IN THE BAZZAR

4/27/2016

3 Comments

 
This is the scenario from Perilous Island, moved to a small village in Saudi Arabia (because that's what I had buildings and figures for). Instead of the Old Sailor, the teams had to get a hold of Professor Achmed, noted expert on Middle Eastern mythology and a good friend of Dr. Darrow. Once again it was Buck and Company vs. the Gorilla Gang.

It has been over a month since this game was played, so some of the particulars may only resemble what actually happened.

Overview of the Table

The Minor Plot Points are the man by the well, a pilot by the airplane, Professor Smith-Smythe-Smith of the Smythe-Smith-Smythe expedition (by the tents), the box on top of the building in the lower left hand building, while Professor Achmed is hidden in the Bazzar in the center of the table.

Picture
Most of the perilous areas were near Middle Eastern looking bandits (from my pirate collection) plus a knife throwing cloaked assassin. But the game was at my home so I added the three above. The first was the sun-crazed Scotsman, when he was triggered you had to say :Scotland Forever". Then there was the contrary mule (if activated you had to say "Hee Haw". The last was a desperate American expat. When activated you had to say "Can you help a fellow American down on his luck?".
Picture
Here Da Boss makes the intrepid explorer an offer he couldn't refuse.
Picture
Over by the plane Mary, the mad scientist's daughter and the only human member of the Gorilla Gang, convinces the pilot to help her out. When it came time to solve the plot point the card read use any skill. Since she was best at dodge she used that skill. There must have been a radio playing somewhere and she danced her way into the pilot's heart (how else could use a dodge skill to solve a plot point). Note the Mad Scotsman nearby (Scotland Forever!!!!).
Picture
For several turns, a couple of Buck's men tried to shoot Mary.
Picture
But somehow she always danced (dodged) away from the bullets.
Picture
Agent Crask secured the man by the well, while Buck dodged the deadly hooves of the crazed burro (Hee Haw).
Picture
Lady Elaine and Experiment 13 searched the bazaar for Dr. Achmed, while being ignored by the locals (I guess they where used to abominations like 13 wandering in their midst).
Picture
13 didn't last long under the guns of Buck and Agent Saddler. Saddler had already picked up the plot point (a partial map) hidden in the crate on top of the roof.
Picture
Lady Elaine found Dr. Achmed.
Picture
But then lost him to Buck and Agent Saddler.
Picture
After helping Buck secure Dr. Achmed, Agent Saddler engaged Bananas (the Gorilla Gang's consigliere and second in command) in a gunfight. finally after turns of shooting someone plugged Mary, causing her to stop dancing (failed a Health check). Agent Sadler rushed out and took control of the pilot. Then Adam played the parlay card. As it was the last turn there was no way for Bananas to try to get the pilot back (or at least make Agent Saddler loose control of him.
Picture
In a last desperate effort Mr. Yellow tried to reach Achmed, but was felled by a kick from the vicious mule (Hee Haw!!). He failed to get up from the attack. There was one more turn left in the game, but a well played card (parlay) meant there was no time to get Dr. Achmed away from Buck, leaving Buck and Company with the major plot point and minor plot points. Next time on to the Lost Oasis of the Sahara.

Many professional gamblers tend to stick to the most well-known online casinos with a good reputation. In fact, this is a very conscious and sound strategy for high rollers as they will only trust their money with the top online casino sites. However, this behaviour may also lead to the paradox of missing out on the biggest new casino bonuses. As a matter of fact, there are plenty of less known casinos out there who actually belong to the same casino network as the more popular ones - while offering better bonuses at the same time!

    I've been gaming since the 1970's and even wrote some RPG adventures in the 80's for the Judges Guild. It seems that I can only get in miniatures is gaming at cons, but I do regularly play boardgames and RPGs.
