Wow - yup, sparks flying from this one ...
Enter the Mad King himself soon I am thinking ...
Helga - get the mop as the blood is about to fly ..
What, ... the Mad King is enroute? Ok.
(leaves as the sound of thunder from Valhalla reaches his ears - and the wild white horses of the Mad King Ludwig are heard with their wild cries on the air ... scenes of Strauss fills my head as the Prussian Gods take out their vengeance on my fellow officer!) [:D]
Soon after the bolts of lightning have consumed my good comrade Col Ellwood I reenter the Tavern.
"So how was it Helga?"
"See for yourself!"
Col. Ellwood, like Han Solo had been completely incased in a vat of brimstone, his hair tossed wildly to one side, a look of pure madness on his face, his hands outstretched in a vain gesture towards the heavens.
"Hmm, another memorial to messing around with Prussia eh?"
With that Napoleon enters the Tavern. "Take that thing out of here. Get my torch out Helga."
"By your leave Emperor Napoleon."
(Note: Helga is neutral but still knows how to properly address a monarch)
They haul Col Ellwood out to the square. Sounds of a torch being lit are heard. Soon he has been removed from his prison.
"How do you feel mon Colonel?"
"Fine your highness! Never felt better!"
(pause)
"What did you put in the torch by the way?"
"Cianide mon Colonel. Its the only way to extract GOLD from a Prussian casket."
"Much thanks mon Emperor!"
Just another day in the adventures of France vs. Prussia! [;)]
