Scarborough’s human chessmatch where various town denizens play as pieces of a battle between the King and Queen. Charles Brandon calls out for Henry, Lord Derby calls for Anne. The battles can be to 3 touches or to the blood with proxies called by a player. Again we seem to have a different set of battles for each day. Oddly enough it’s more like a contrafactual sort of combat. Like a step into the Twilight Zone, or Sliding Doors, the scenarios diverge down alternate paths, battles and outcomes.

The previous description and all these wonderful images are brought to you by Frank Hui. Because of his devotion, I have nothing to add. --Robyn Sotherby

Now he mentions her opponent is suppose to be Lady Gertrude

That would be her

And her blood is as good as any


A Black victory

Delia plans on some slicing

But her opponent is rather quick

and nimble

When Delia gets free, someone's gonna seriously get it

Sir Henry Stewart trying to help Sir Richard upend the Huntsman

He's not much help, eh?

Sergei takes on the sickly Henry Brandon

Not as puny as he looks

This is one irate nomad though

and he wants blood

Henry's nursemaid is rather ticked off also
