When the players arrive there, they quickly find a warehouse, quite isolated from the rest of the town.
The warehouse used to store about a hundred dead bodies. But now it's empty. Except for a dozen villages hanged. The trail ends there.
When the players arrive, the peasants are revolting because they refuse to pay the "Champart" (tax of 1/6 of the harvest).
* Explanations :
=Part 1 Peasant revolt=
The population is starving and refuses to pay the tax., the "Champart" (tax of 1/6 of the harvest)
They beat the taxman "champarter" ("champarteur" in French) nearly to death and kick him out.
They cry "Champarteur, chapardeur, champarteur , chapardeur"
Obviously, there'll be a fight the next day.
The soldiers come to the players first and ask them for help.
The head of the guards : Captain Beaudry
The Captain tells them : Regardless of what they want to do, the local castelan doesn't want any troubles with the inquisition.
If they refuse. The peasants do the same.
If one of the players is Rich or has a Great Network, he can pay the taxes and it counts like a peasant win.
At each step, they need to find a good idea to win. If they win more than 3 phases, one their side wins.
If one of the players have the Combat (Battle) ability, give him the answers to each phase.
Peasant side :
The peasants have no weapons, only clubs, pitforks and flails.
or make shield
Soldier side :
Poison the well or burn some houses.
Ambiance : From time to time, the cavaliers charge in the melee and destroys enemy lines.
There a guy who fell ont he on the floor, he's stamped by the troops and cries.
*Step 4 : The peasants start to drive the soldiers back. The They regroup next to the Siege weapon that was concealed in a nearby forest. So the soldiers decide to destroy the store hours to punish them or lead them to yield.
A small trebuchet (Couillard) starts shooting around the grain house. Trying to aim at it.
It break a house in one shot.
