Rescue Maid Marian

Here is another LARP scenario

Backstory

The evil Sheriff has captured Maid Marian. He stages an execution to draw out Robin.

Naturally, Robin and the Merry Men plan to rescue her.

Set Up

• Set up 2 spawn points (the flags) at opposite ends of the field.
• Set up a pole (or use a tree) in the middle of the field.
• You need a volunteer to play Maid Marian. She begins the game "tied" to the pole in the middle.
• I recommend not actually tying her up. Have her place her hands behind her back and pretend she is tied up.
• The Sheriff and his men begin surrounding Maid Marian.
• Robin and his men begin at their spawn point.

Objective

Both sides seek to bring Marian to their spawn point.

Special Rules

• All players have unlimited lives. They respawn at their respective spawn points.
• Designate two players to represent Robin and the Sheriff. They get 1 point of bubble armor.
• Robin and the Merry Men can untie Marian by touching her with a weapon and shouting "Cutting" three times. If a player is killed while trying to untie Marian then the count must begin from the start.
• Once freed, Robin or his men may escort Marian back to their spawn. The escort must remain by her side the entire time.
• Marian is is no shape to run. She can only walk.
• If Marian's escort is killed, Marian must stop where she is.
• The Sheriff or his men can recapture Marian by touching her LIGHTLY with a weapon. Marian must then follow her new escort back to the Sheriff's spawn until the escort is killed.
• The process of freeing and recapturing Marian continues until one side gets her to its spawn point.
• The Sheriff or his men cannot move Marian until she gets untied.

This is essentially a version of Heavy Object, except with a person instead of an object.
