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.

Let's try a what if scenario	We have	all the	same folks except
Ercole is slapping around a different kid	One who can fight back	Well almost	Delia takes him on also
Blades sail swiftly	Eh, she's been in more "challenging" postiions	Magnus and Vasily	He's getting instructed in gypsy style fighting
He's got his own lesson plan	That can't be pleasant	I'm getting a sense of deja vu.	Most definitely
