A combat scenario for three participants: Bedlam in the Boudoir!

It features a strong emphasis on entertainment through roleplaying. The scene: A jealous 'husband' comes home early to find his 'wife' with a 'paramour'. The only way out for the paramour is past the husband – who isn't happy. The wife might help the paramour, or the husband, or be of no help at all! By default, the weapons and behavior of the husband and wife are randomized for each scene. The 'paramour' gets a higher score by [1] being entertaining, and [2] not killing the 'husband'.
