David Mosey is a remarkable Englishman by birth. He moved to Canada to work as a remittance man, but he never received any money. He left the Canadian nuclear sector after more than twenty years of employment and moved to Lunenburg, on Canada’s east coast, where he occasionally works as a plumber’s mate, plays around with boats, and writes. When not so involved, you can find him down at the bar throwing darts with more enthusiasm than accuracy or in the secondhand bookstore.
The narrative of Don Orlando is told in “Outlaws are Optional,” but despite being the CEO of the most prosperous outlaw band in the world, Don Orlando isn’t laughing right now. That kind of thing creates havoc with the asset-redistribution business. An exiled duke, replete with toadies, minstrels, and huntsmen, has set up camp in the forest not far from the outlaw stronghold. Additionally, the hectic seasons are about to start.
Out of desperation, Orlando turns to Mission Implausible, Albion’s top adventure group. The fact that Andrew Cruickshank, their mage, combines the effectiveness of the postal service, the predictability of the weather, and the devastation potential of a strategic nuclear weapon is true, as is the fact that their appetite for beer and gratuitous violence is well-known to be insatiable, but what have you got to lose? In reality, quite a bunch.
The black mage Montmorency enters the scene and starts to shake things up while Cruickshank examines the Shakespeare play As You Like It for insights on how to get rid of exiled dukes, his Designated Opposite. As if that weren’t enough, Titus Handcarte, the First Speaker of East Castellian, has convinced expropriating Duke Roger to lead an operation to shut down Don Orlando’s Rural Roistering Experience in the outlaws’ forest.
An expropriating duke supported by the army of East Castellians on one side and an exiled duke on the other do not portend well for Don Orlando. However, Mission Implausible is up to the task. They are capable of using and frequently do, occult incompetence, phony disguises, dubious transgender rituals, forgeries, extortion, and excessive violence. Handcarte, the occupying Duke Roger, and the exiled Duke Frederick had no chance against them, especially with Montmorency’s help and his powerful occult and diplomatic abilities.
