Five and Twenty Ponies
The Characters
Farmer Pickles - Oh at last, my career is back on track darlings, kissy kissy!
Another cardboard Character, Farmer Pickles was, to those who came across him, a simple farmer. However, there was more to him than met the eye, for he was in fact a go between for a mysterious organisation known as the "Quadrangle ". Though only very few of the players came across the "Quadrangle " during the campaign, none of them actually knew who they were. However, we shall find out more about them later.
Jack Sparrow — Played by that man about town, Rupert Worral
Rupert was an unwitting pawn in a dangerous game. Hired by the "Quadrangle " he was to act as their lander and was responsible for their beach landing party. As far as "Sparrow" was concerned the "Quadrangle" was a "legitimate" smuggling organisation backed by merchant bankers in Bossingham, Whitehaven, Port Knappwell and Newchapel. He was told that due to the effects of the war with France gold had been devalued. However, the French were willing to pay as much as £1.1Os for every gold guinea they received which was far and above the current selling price. Sparrow's role was to see that this gold got safely to the coast and then onto France. However, there was an underlying truth that "Sparrow" was unaware of.
