Press the issue with the Constable
From Create Your Own Story
"That is not good enough!" you shout. "What possible transgressions could man do to force a community to bury him alive?"
The constable answers you by drawing is his pistol. You take a few steps back slowly placing your hands in the air dropping your weapons trying to clam the situation. You stare at Constable Grimmin's bloodshot eyes and quickly realize he doesn't mean to threaten you. He means to kill you.
You dive to the side attempting to take cover as the constable's pistol fires. The combination of you movement, cover, and the constable's own unsteady hand cause the bullet to catch but only a portion of you dark cloak. You recover your rapier and dash toward the lawman. Even drunk, Grimmin is fast enough to draw his own cutlass as the two of you cross steel.
You are face to face with the constable his face twisted with rage and hate. Your steel the only thing separating you from the death he wishes to dispense to you. You initial charge helps you force the constable back, but he lunges forward with a wild overhead slash. You parry but are forced to concede many paces back into the graveyard. The constable continues his furious attack with powerful cuts and slashes. There are many openings in his attack that you could capitalize on as you are the better swordsman in this dual. However, the constable does not let up on his attacks.
You attempt to reason with the mad constable without success. He has forced your hand and you launch yourself to the offensive. You thin blade dances around the wild lawman's heavier steel. You strike Grimmin in the leg in hopes of slowing him or even allowing him to give up. Unfortunately, the constable is only spurred on by this. His attacks become even more desperate and you find yourself with little choice but to finish the fight with his death.
You come in low as you Spanish rapier is plunged deep into the belly of the constable. The lawman keeps swinging his cutlass with futile desperation. It is over for him as he falls to his knees. He cries, "Louise and little Jacques, Pappa is coming." As he finishes he falls over dead.
As you clean the blood off your weapon. You fail to hear the sound of a musket fire as its bullet crashes through your skull. You are dead before you even fall to the soft, wet ground. You never never even saw your killer or know why you were killed.
