Guy Fawkes
At the Duck and Drake inn, you serve a man called Guy Fawkes who’s kicked out for being a Catholic. This doesn’t seem fair so you join his and Robert Catesby’s gang. But when you spot gunpowder under the House of Lords, you realise the plot has gone too far. How will you prevent it from happening?
